Chapter 637: The reward is received, and the opponent in the exhibition match is the Four Heavenly Kings!

On a street corner.

With Victini on his head and a messenger bird and Tailebagos in each arm, Romu looked around like a thief and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no one was following him.

"Hoo scared me to death."

The scene just now was quite big, and it almost caused a blockage on the moving sidewalk.

Fortunately, I ran fast. If I were surrounded, it would be difficult to escape.

After all, many tourists or settlers in the city of Larus come here because of the "Battle Tower".

The enthusiasm of this group of trainers for rare or never-before-seen Pokémon is beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Even though he's not as fanatical as Xiaozhi, he's probably not much different.

After confirming that he was currently in a "safe" state and looking at the time, Luo Mu was sure that there was still some time before the meeting time agreed with Dr. Rondo. He did not leave the corner immediately, but put down the messenger bird and Tailebagos.

His eyes fell on Tailebagos and Victini, who had somewhat innocent expressions.

Luo Mu, who ran away, had already figured it out. It was probably Victini that caused such a big change in Tailebagos.

Regarding this change, since it was the first time he saw it, Luo Mu still planned to inform Taile Baggos.

——But before that, Luo Mu flicked Victini's forehead with his finger, neither lightly nor heavily.

"Don't abuse your abilities whenever you feel like it. I'll punish you by not having snacks for half a day today."

"Timi!?"

Upon hearing this, Victini felt as if the sky had fallen. He looked at Luo Mu pitifully and opened his small mouth showing his fangs, as if he wanted to beg for mercy.

But Luo Mu anticipated its plea and said with an unmoved look, "If you plead, I'll extend the time by half a day."

Now Victini was silent and could only hang his head like an eggplant hit by frost.

The messenger bird patted Victini's back and whispered soothing words to it.

Don't worry, I have quite a few candies in my tail too.

Luo Mu, who turned a blind eye to the behavior of the messenger bird, turned to look at Tailebagos.

With curiosity in his eyes, he asked, "What was that just now?"

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Tailebagos face, and he stomped his front legs lightly a few times, hoping that Luo Mu could understand what he wanted to express.

"You mean the one just now was the battle form?"

Luo Mu blinked and expressed exactly what Tailebagos wanted to say.

"Bagogo!"

Tailebagos' eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

In fact, it is easy to guess what Tailebagos wants to express.

After all, we have witnessed it first "evolve" and then actively "degenerate" into its current appearance.

This isn't the digital movie set next door where people can evolve and degenerate freely, with puppies evolving into mice, and mice evolving into female angels.

Aside from the temporary evolution of Mega Evolution, evolution represents permanent growth.

But morphological change is not the same thing.

With examples like Deoxys, Shemy, Meloetta, Hoopa, and Zygarde in the past, it was much easier to accept the changes that Tylerbagos had just undergone.

After all, he is the third god in the Padia region. He looks like a harmless little turtle and does not have much majesty or oppression.

The eighteen-attribute pattern on the back of the crystallized shell that I just caught a glimpse of is much more impressive.

I don’t know whether the Taijing form just now is the end of Tailebagos’ transformation, or whether there is a possibility of further development.

Just like Zygarde at 10%, 50%, and 100%.

In response to the question raised by Luo Mu, Tailebagos just shook his head blankly, indicating that he didn't know the answer to this question either.

In its world view, the combat form is already very strong and powerful.

After figuring out the "surprise" of the Taijing form of Tailebagos, Luo Mu did not continue to explore its transformation mechanism, but set off towards the agreed coffee shop.

Because the distance was only a few hundred meters, he had no intention of stepping onto the moving sidewalk, and soon he arrived at the door of the [Serpentine Bear Coffee] store.

Pushing open the glass door, accompanied by the pleasant sound of wind chimes, a Pokémon similar to a raccoon and a badger, with mainly brown hair, dotted with light brown ring-shaped serrated hair, and a raccoon-like "eyepatch" pattern on its face, came over first.

Its name is Snakebite, which is a very common Pokémon in the Hoenn region, making up for the lack of Snakebite in the +Snakebite Cafe.

The serpentine bear stared at Luo Mu with its watery brown eyes, called out to him obediently, then turned around and made a gesture to lead the way.

Apparently, Snakebear is the coffee shop's welcome Pokémon.

Luo Mu followed it and walked into the coffee shop where soft music was playing.

What’s interesting is that the serpentine bear does not walk in a straight line, but in a zigzag pattern. When it walks, the unevenness of its hair is inexplicably eye-catching.

The only pity is that although the raccoon looks furry, its hair is actually short and coarse and feels prickly to the touch.

Luo Mu had no choice but to give up his plan to give it a try.

Serpentine Bear led Luo Mu to the bar, and the waiter at the bar took Luo Mu to a booth closer to the inside of the coffee shop.

Dr. Rondo was already sitting there waiting. Besides Dr. Rondo, there was a woman with a dangerous hairstyle next to him.

The moment Luo Mu arrived, Dr. Rondo, who had short blue hair, stood up and extended his hand enthusiastically.

"Thank you for accepting my invitation, Mr. Luo Mu!"

"My name is Rondo, and she is my research assistant, Yuko."

Dr. Randall began by introducing himself to avoid any unexpected embarrassment on either side.

Under his enthusiastic invitation, Luo Mu sat opposite the two of them.

Without getting into the topic right away, Dr. Rondo still asked enthusiastically, "Is there anything you want to drink? Just order directly."

The waiter at the side also handed over the "menu" in time.

When they entered the coffee shop, Luo Mu had already put the Messenger Bird and the others back into the Poké Ball. In the eyes of the two, Luo Mu, who was only carrying a backpack and a shoulder bag, came here alone.

Luo Mu did not refuse. After taking a quick glance at the menu, he ordered a cup of mocha coffee.

The clerk recorded the request and left, and the conversation between the three people officially began.

As a scientific researcher, Dr. Rondo is obviously not the kind of person who likes to talk a lot of nonsense and formalities to lay the groundwork, and then slowly get to the point.

He himself attaches great importance to efficiency and gets straight to the point right from the start.

"Mr. Luo Mu, you must be very curious. Logically speaking, why would I invite you to come to this city of Larus when we have never met before?"

Dr. Randall crossed his arms and gave a slightly stiff smile.

Luo Mu nodded gently, "Well, I guess the exhibition match is just a cover, right?"

"That was true at first, but after we learned about your identity, we did arrange a real exhibition match," Yuko added.

Dr. Rondo then went on to explain why he invited Luo Mu to come to Larus City.

"It was probably last summer. I accidentally watched an ice sculpture program and noticed the ice sculpture you made as a contestant."

"That is undoubtedly the legendary Pokémon of the Hoenn region, the ancient Pokémon Rayquaza." "My first reaction was, how come you, who is so far away in the Padia region, know so much about Rayquaza, so realistically that every dragon scale is extremely similar to the video footage we once recorded."

"But I soon realized that you might have met each other before, or had some special encounter."

"At that time, I had the idea of ​​inviting you to Larus City."

"To be safe, I think I need to know more about Rayquaza."

Dr. Randall paused, picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, and Yuko took over the topic.

"Your information is really well protected. It took us some effort to find out your identity besides being an ice sculptor."

“So, we came up with the idea of ​​inviting you to the city of Larus for an exhibition match, and put it into practice before the New Year.”

"We do have an exhibition match scheduled, and your opponent won't disappoint you."

"As for the real reason and purpose of inviting you here, could you please move with us to the research institute?"

It would be somewhat impolite to take Luo Mu directly to the research institute. The two thought about it for a long time and finally decided to meet in a coffee shop first, then explain some of the reasons to Luo Mu, and finally politely invite him to the research institute.

Luo Mu did not answer immediately, but fell into thought.

Dr. Rondo actually discovered this about himself at the ice sculpture competition, which he never expected.

It was after watching the ice sculpture competition that Mikoli decided to travel on public funds. He went to Padia to promote the gorgeous competition and see what Kyuubi was thinking.

Dr. Rondo was about to take me to the research institute. The reason he was looking for me was probably related to the Deoxys core in the meteorite in his hand.

——Then the question is, do you really want to agree to it?

Since Xiaozhi and his group have appeared in this city, according to his memory, there is probably not much time left before the plot begins.

Probably tomorrow, both the other Deoxys and Rayquaza will appear one after another.

Although it is still not too late to leave now, I am already standing in the city of Larus, and it seems unimportant whether I get involved or not.

Come anyway.

Licking his lips subconsciously, Luo Mu said, "Okay, let's go and take a look."

Built in a research institute in an artificial ecological park.

Standing in front of the operating table, Luo Mu looked intently at the mysterious green crystal embedded in the meteorite from outer space in the glass slot.

The strong laser shines on the crystal, causing it to emit a special luster.

Luo Mu thought, is this the core of Deoxys?

It does look very strange, at least it doesn't seem like a creature that can exist on this planet. I'm sure Daigo will be so excited that he will raise a flag when he sees it, right?

——It is also possible that he has already seen it.

Dr. Rondo and his assistant Yuko are demonstrating to him how to induce Deoxys regeneration through laser irradiation.

But it seems to be a little bit lacking in output power, at least it is still a long way from providing enough energy.

Luo Mu remembered that this Deoxys was actually conscious, and could use a visible spectrum similar to the aurora to interact with Dr. Rondo's son, Xiaochao.

It is also the key to stopping the subsequent fight between another Deoxys and Rayquaza.

Luo Mu does not intend to interfere with the specific direction of the plot. Just go through the motions and everyone will be happy with the ending.

His attention was more focused on what Dr. Rondo had told him after he had just arrived at the institute.

Simply put, the other party seemed to be worried that when Deoxys' regeneration ability was awakened, it would once again attract Rayquaza, who had an inexplicable hostility towards Deoxys four years ago.

He wanted to learn some things about Rayquaza through the mouth of a trainer who was suspected to have had contact with Rayquaza.

——It is really a very simple and plain request. If Dr. Rondo had proposed it earlier, Luo Mu would have made this trip earlier, and there would be no need to get involved in the plot of the theater.

The other party's request was too simple, and Luo Mu was embarrassed to refuse, so he shared with Dr. Rondo the reason for the "bad relationship" between Rayquaza and Deoxys.

Rayquaza regards the sky, or the atmosphere and ozone layer of this planet, as its territory.

Deoxys came from outer space without an invitation, and in Rayquaza's eyes, it was an enemy who invaded its territory.

Rayquaza also developed hostility towards Deoxys for this reason, and according to Rayquaza's personality, if it sensed the presence of Deoxys, it would most likely make a special trip and take the initiative to attack again.

This news was not friendly to Dr. Rondo. He was already considering whether to slow down the awakening of Deoxys and prepare measures to defend against Rayquaza's attack.

Luo Mu just smiled and said nothing.

Regardless of whether defensive measures could be established in time, Dr. Rondo readily handed Luo Mu the "reward" he requested, a USB flash drive containing a simplified version of the "city management system program".

Dr. Rondo is one of the developers and managers of the city of Larus. Even though he cannot provide the most core and complete management system, the simplified version he wrote himself is still no problem.

He also enthusiastically told Luo Mu that if he encountered any technical problems, he could seek help from him at any time.

Luo Mu's impression of Dr. Rondo was also completely fixed.

——This is a very good person.

As the two were chatting happily, Yuko, who was recording data on the side, noticed the picture being played on the screen above her head and said, "Dr. Rondo, look at Xiaochao..."

Dr. Rand looked back and his eyes widened.

"How come Pokémon battles happen?"

My son has developed an aversion to Pokémon because of the incident four years ago. How come he is now in the battle tower and participating in the battle?
Luo Mu followed Dr. Rondo's gaze and immediately raised his eyebrows.

Wow, are we forming a team directly?

As expected, Chao Xiao’s teammate is Ash, because it is a doubles battle, which requires cooperation between two trainers.

Their opponents' Pokémon were, as expected, Blaziken and Blastoise.

Xiaozhi sent out the veteran actor Pikachu.

But unfortunately, Xiaochao didn't raise any Pokémon at all, which caused him to stand there in a daze.

Maybe because he wanted to fight so badly, Xiaozhi simply lent him his own Pokémon.

Luo Mu originally thought it would be the Crimson Knight, after all, what Xiaozhi borrowed in the movie was the fire-type Cinderella, but the one that actually appeared was Shakiras that had evolved from Baby Kiras.

How to say it, although there were changes in the Pokémon that appeared, the result remained unchanged. The coordination between the two sides was completely misplaced, resulting in an almost one-sided beating.

Compared to this ridiculous fight, the reaction of Dr. Rondo next to him was more interesting.

——The moment the old father saw his son throw the Poké Ball, tears welled up in his eyes.

He was still mumbling about how his son was finally willing to try out Pokémon.
After Dr. Rondo calmed down, seeing that the battle was about to end, he directly invited Luo Mu to go to the battle tower together.

He was going to greet his son, and by the way, he also had to tell Luo Mu about the schedule of the evening's exhibition match.

Luo Mu naturally had no objection. Since they had already made an appointment, they might as well have a fight.

However, he was still a little curious about who the opponent in the exhibition match that Dr. Rondo had prepared for him would be.

Dr. Lando smiled and said, "After learning that you are a champion-level trainer, I changed the person I invited."

"——If it's him, he should be an opponent that satisfies you, right?"

After he finished speaking, Dr. Rondo revealed the other person's name.

"The Four Heavenly Kings of the Hoenn Region, Genji."
