I'm the Owner of the Pokémon Day Care In the World of Pokémon

Chapter 907: Chaos



Chapter 907: Chaos

Due to the incident involving Giratina and the Time-Space Axis, Yuga's main purpose in Machina Temple was delayed for several days.

During these days, on the surface, Machina appeared to be the same as usual, but Yuga still sensed a change in the atmosphere.

Because the matter concerning Arceus was related to the entire Temple clan, the Elders didn't keep it a secret and instead informed everyone truthfully.

In addition to this, people from outside the Temple clan, including the current clan leader, had returned to Machina for a few days, but they stayed only for a day before hastily leaving again.

Before long, Yuga learned from Sheena about a decision made by the Elders. They planned to evacuate all the ordinary people living in Machina, and even the children were encouraged to go on travel and experience.

If Arceus were to awaken, Machina would be the first to face the consequences. Keeping the ordinary people here would only cause chaos and not provide any real help.

Though no one knew when Arceus might awaken, being prepared in advance was better than being caught off guard.

For the Temple clan members who were born and raised in Machina, this was a significant event, so Machina became busy for a while.

However, this didn't concern Yuga much. During these days, he wandered around Machina, spending most of his time eating and sleeping. He hadn't even seen Cynthia much.

When he had just returned, Yuga gave the Psychic Crystal he obtained from Silgilyph to Chimecho.

This Psychic Crystal was indeed a valuable item. After using it, Chimecho's overall condition visibly improved, and even its move usage became much smoother.

Regardless of whether excessive use of psychic power had caused any damage to Chimecho originally, Yuga felt that there were no lingering issues after using this Psychic Crystal.

The Lapras that had eaten the blue flowers was still in a deep sleep. However, Yuga could tell from its expression that it was in an exceptionally good state right now.

On this day, after Yuga finished training with his Pokémon, he lay down on the grass by the field to rest.

Suddenly, he saw Absol spit out a blue crystal, which is the Malamar Ancestor Eyes he had obtained in Kalos region before.

The energy inside this blue crystal had been greatly absorbed by Absol. Its size had shrunk to less than half of its original, and Absol's psychic power had greatly increased. Not only was it more sensitive to things and dangers, but it also had perfect control over the two psychic abilities: Future Sight and Psycho Cut.

Absol lay on the grass, focusing on absorbing the energy from the crystal. Yuga wasn't paying much attention at first, but then he noticed something strange in his peripheral vision.

The dense black aura was impossible for Yuga to ignore, but Abosolu, who was immersed in "cultivation," didn't notice any abnormalities at all.

Furthermore, within that black aura, Yuga sensed a strong sense of ominousness, even giving him a heart-pounding feeling.

Just when Yuga was about to say something, a sudden change occurred. That crystal, while being absorbed by Absol, suddenly detached from Absol's claw and flew into the air.

In the air, the blue crystal, in the blink of an eye, transformed from its originally translucent light blue into an ink-black color, emitting a mysterious black mist.

As soon as the black mist appeared, Yuga's unique Ability, Celebi's Blessing, began to react restlessly within his body. But the one who reacted even more intensely was Florges.

The black mist in the air gave Florges a creepy feeling.

Just as Yuga was about to speak up, he witnessed an unexpected turn of events. The blue crystal, while in mid-air, emitted a red glow around its edges and shot toward Absol.

"Absol, get out of the way!"

Yuga quickly shouted a warning. This thing didn't seem friendly.

Inexplicably, at this moment, Yuga thought of the three Malamar he had met before. They mentioned that the shrine where this crystal was originally placed had carvings of the Legendary Pokémon Yveltal.

Could it be that this crystal was related to Yveltal?

If that were the case, that's trouble!

The entire League in the Pokémon World has contracts with some Legendary Pokémon.

Among these Legendary Pokémon, there are Level 1 Legendary Pokémon like Lugia, Ho-Oh, and Rayquaza, Level 2 Legendary Pokémon like the Legendary Trio Birds and Beasts, and mythical Pokémon like Mew, Celebi, and Manaphy, etc.

However, not all Legendary Pokémon are benevolent toward humans.

Some maintain a neutral stance, including Level 1 Legendary Pokémon like Groudon and Kyogre from the Hoenn region, and the Creation Trio from Sinnoh region. There are also mythical Pokémon like Mimagius, Marshadow, and Deoxys.

Then, there are Legendary Pokémon that have clear hostility towards humans. There aren't many of these, and the known ones include Thundurus, Tornadus, Kyurem, and Yveltal.

In human records, these hostile Legendary Pokémon are associated with widespread destruction on their respective regions.

Strictly speaking, the hostility of these Legendary Pokémon is not directed at humans themselves.

They have confused thoughts, strong destructive tendencies, and an urge to destroy whatever they see. Sometimes, they themselves don't even know what they're doing, and their appearances often result in significant losses and harm to humans or the land.

Among them, the most notable and representative is Yveltal in the Kalos region. This is evident from its title, "God of Destruction."

If Thundurus, Tornadus, and Kyurem can maintain some level of sanity, Yveltal loses all sense of reason as soon as it awakens.

Fortunately, the Kalos region also has a counterpart, Xerneas.

Xerneas is a Pokémon entirely opposite to Yveltal. It is friendly to all living beings, including humans, and every time it saves the Kalos region from the rampage of Yveltal.

Of course, there is one more thing to note. Yveltal is not the kind of Legendary Pokémon that is constantly awake. In its chaotic state of mind, it can only awaken for very short periods before falling back into slumber.

Otherwise, even with Xerneas's presence, it would be challenging to ensure the prosperity of the Kalos region.

Xerneas is not an aggressively offensive Pokémon, and facing Yveltal, a Pokémon born for battle and destruction, is not easy for it.

The crystal transformed into a beam and headed straight for Absol. Absol, however, remained motionless, as if frozen in place, with a red glow appearing in its eyes, similar to the red light in the beam.

At this moment, Yuga regretted deeply. He shouldn't have entrusted this mysterious object to Absol.

Malamar was clearly a dual-type Pokémon, both Dark and Psychic. Yet, the blue crystal it carried only contained pure Psychic energy. Yuga should have realized that something wasn't right.

Now, it was evident that there was not just a lack of Dark energy; this black and malevolent energy was overflowing! Those "pure" Psychic energy layers were like a sheep in wolf's clothing.

The term "Dark" in Dark-type didn't refer to evil; it was just a designation for a particular type of energy with no inherent moral alignment.

However, the energy carried by the crystal was overtly malevolent, chaotic, and temperamental.

At this moment, the Pokémon closest to Absol was Torterra. Seeing that Absol didn't react to Yuga's voice, Torterra instinctively positioned itself in front of Absol with its massive body.

But to Yuga's surprise, the crystal, transformed into a beam of light, passed through Torterra's body as if it were an illusion and pierced into Absol's body. The speed was so fast that no one could react in time.

The moment the black ray entered Absol's body, a red light shone brightly in Absol's eyes.

At the same time, Torterra, who had been hit by the black ray, convulsed violently a few times and then collapsed on the ground. The massive tree on its back instantly withered, and its leaves fell one by one.

"Torterra!"

Seeing Torterra's condition, Yuga was greatly alarmed and immediately rushed towards it without hesitation.

Arriving at Torterra's side, Yuga tried to wake it up, but it showed no response, leaving Yuga in a state of panic, sweating profusely.

At this moment, Absol's situation also took a turn for the worse. It howled loudly, and a black mist similar to the one on the crystal earlier began to envelop its body. It underwent Mega Evolution right before Yuga's astonished eyes.

Looking at Absol with its unfocused gaze, Yuga realized that Absol was also in trouble.

After Mega Evolving, Absol lowered its head and locked eyes with Yuga for a few seconds. Then, it opened its mouth and released a Dark Pulse towards both Yuga and the motionless Torterra.

Yuga completely forgot about taking cover. Moreover, with Torterra lying beside him, he couldn't possibly evade. He could only watch as the black energy continued to expand in his line of sight.

At the last moment, Sawsbuck, with excellent jumping abilities and speed, reacted. It rammed into Absol, a Pokémon much larger in size, pushing Absol aside, and causing the Dark Pulse to miss its target.

Yuga hastily used a Poké Ball to recall the unconscious Torterra and then moved to a safer distance.

Absol, after being attacked, went into a rampage. It raised its claw and struck Sawsbuck's abdomen with a single hit, made Sawsbuck unable to continue battling.

What Yuga witnessed left him astounded. Was this still his Absol?

Absol had only reached the Intermediate pseudo-Elite level recently. Even after Mega Evolving, it shouldn't have been able to defeat a Peak pseudo-Elite level Sawsbuck with only a single strike.

Yuga attempted to use his Insight ability to assess Mega Absol's condition, but the data was in complete chaos, and he couldn't make sense of anything.

Furthermore, in Yuga's perception, Mega Absol's aura also started to become chaotic.

At this moment, other Pokémon also reacted.

The most responsive was Florges, which directly swung two vines to firmly bind Mega Absol. Then, Dragonite's Thunder Wave struck it.

However, Mega Absol suddenly broke free from Florges' vines and showed no signs of paralysis due to Dragonite's Thunder Wave.

Florges was astonished; its strength was equivalent to Elite level! Yet, it couldn't hold Mega Absol.

Dragonite felt the same way.

They both realized that they might have a hard time subduing the rampaging Mega Absol unless they went all out.

"Everyone, try to subdue Absol as quickly as possible! Something's seriously wrong with it!" Yuga shouted to his Pokémon.

The Pokémon all nodded simultaneously, their gazes towards Mega Absol turning solemn.

Bellossom and Roserade simultaneously released several large Energy Ball, but Mega Absol effortlessly shattered them with its Psycho Cuts.

Rather than dissipating, the Psycho Cuts that had shattered the Energy Ball continued toward Bellossom and Roserade at an incredible speed. They couldn't react in time and were knocked down by the blades.

Like Sawsbuck, Bellossom and Roserade also couldn't get up again.

Dragonite and Vivillon combined forces to use Double Hurricane, enveloping Mega Absol momentarily. However, the tornado formed by the Double Hurricane was pierced through by the Dark Pulse. Mega Absol jumped out of it.

The Mega Absol, after leaping out, let out a Snarl. Waves of black sound surged higher and higher, pushing Vivillon and Dragonite far away.

At this moment, Chimecho and Charizard appeared, one on each side above the Mega Absol. Their Supersonic and Flamethrower converged on it.

Although Mega Absol had lost its sanity, instinctively it knew it couldn't withstand the attacks of two Elite level Pokémon. It used a Quick Attack to evade the attacks.

However, as it leaped into the air, Florges and Serperior's attacks hit it precisely. A Leaf Storm and a Moonblast struck its left flank, sending Mega Absol flying.

As it tried to get up from the fall, a massive vine burst out of the ground, binding its limbs and waist. This was Venusaur's Frenzy Plant.

Before it could struggle, Breloom approached and delivered a punch to its head.

Despite the fact that a blow from Breloom should have been very painful, Mega Absol seemed to have lost all sensation of pain. Instead, it slowly lifted its head.

Breloom was caught off guard and made eye contact with Mega Absol. In an instant, it felt its entire body covered in goosebumps and was sent flying.

Simultaneously, the massive vines that had restrained Mega Absol's limbs and abdomen began to break apart.

By the time it landed on the ground, Breloom had lost consciousness.

Freed from the restraints, Absol lunged directly at the immobilized Venusaur. Venusaur, due to the effects of Frenzy Plant, couldn't move at all.

Seeing this, Chimecho erected a Light Screen in front of Venusaur. However, Mega Absol simply pierced through the defensive barrier of Light Screen and used a Dark Pulse to strike Venusaur.

Venusaur lost its fighting ability.

No one expected that Chimecho's seemingly invincible defensive move would fail!

But Yuga knew that Absol was a Dark-type Pokémon, and its current special state nullified the Reflect Light Screen against certain move types, likely due to the effects of the mysterious dark energy surrounding it.

With Venusaur defeated, Charizard and Dragonite simultaneously appeared on either side of Mega Absol and used Dragon Claw.

However, while they managed to hit Mega Absol, they were also struck by Psycho Cuts. They were both sent flying.

Mega Absol was about to launch its next attack when Florges' Moonblast, Vivillon's Signal Beam, and Chimecho's Supersonic all hit it simultaneously.

After receiving the attacks from four Elite level, the psedo-Elite level Mega Absol nearly couldn't get back up. However, its unfocused eyes remained unresponsive.

Seeing Mega Absol in this state, Yuga was incredibly anxious. It seemed that due to the strange Dark-type energy, Mega Absol had entered an invincible state of sorts. Even with the combined efforts of four Elite level Pokémon, they couldn't subdue it.

At this critical moment, Lapras had fallen into a deep sleep, while Gengar and Mimagius had been sent to the Distortiom World by Yuga using the Reversal Mirror for training.

Initially, Absol was supposed to go as well, but Gengar suggested that, since it was their first time, he and Mimagius should go first to scout the situation. Absol, with slightly weaker strength, could follow once they had a better understanding of the situation.

Now, looking back, it was fortunate that Absol didn't go. If anything had gone wrong in the Distortion World, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Whether Gengar and Mimagius could have stopped it from going berserk was unknown.

Seeing Absol reaching the point of exhaustion, Charizard, Dragonite, Florges, Chimecho, Vivillon, and Serperior surrounded it, intending to seize the opportunity to subdue it completely.

However, just at that moment, Mega Absol raised its head again and let out another howl. Its originally pure white fur was gradually dyed black, inch by inch.

In this altered form, Mega Absol opened its mouth and released a series of Dark Pulses. The six Pokémon surrounding it didn't have time to react and were all struck. Among them, Vivillon and Serperior, whose strength was less than that of an Elite level Pokémon, lost consciousness instantly.

Seeing this, Yuga felt a cold shiver down his spine.

Absol's condition was dire. Its battle strength was nearly on par with most of Intermediate or above Champion level Pokémon. Trying to subdue it with just Charizard and Dragonite was almost impossible.

At this point, Yuga couldn't help but suspect that the black energy had some connection to Yveltal. Besides the Level 1 Legendary Pokémon, Who else could possess such powerful and chaotic Dark-type power?

After knocking Charizard and the others aside, Mega Absol surprisingly didn't launch another attack. Instead, it tilted its head back and emitted a strange melody from its throat.

Hearing this sound, Yuga's face turned pale.

"Absol is about to use the Perish Song. Everyone, stop it!"

Yuga's Gengar also knew the Perish Song move, but neither it nor Absol had ever used it because it was a move that led to mutual destruction.

Once this move was activated, after a period of time, as long as the user remained standing, all living beings on the field, whether they were allies, enemies, or even the user themselves, would fall and enter a near-death state.

The near-death state wasn't just a loss of battle capability; it meant being on the brink of actual death.

Upon hearing Yuga's voice, Charizard and Dragonite also turned pale. However, before they could act, the singing of the Perish Song by Mega Absol abruptly stopped, as if someone had choked it.

Mega Absol's forehead, adorned with the black bone armor, began to emit a blue-white glow. Following this, the black fur on its body started receding towards its head, like a tide.

The blue-white glow gradually separated from Absol's forehead. It was then that Yuga realized it was a Seed of Unknown.

This Seed of Unknown seemed to possess a tremendous huge suction force, drawing in the eerie black mist that had enveloped Absol. Subsequently, a black crystal was extracted from Absol's body.

The moment the black crystal emerged, Absol reverted from its Mega Evolution state and fell into unconsciousness.

The black crystal, radiating a red light, fiercely resisted the absorption by the Seed of Unknown. Yet, the Seed of Unknown emitted an intense blue light, and the red light on the black crystal dissipated like ice melting under the sun, vanishing into the air.

With the disappearance of the red light, in Yuga's perceptionall the chaotic and manic auras was cleared, leaving only the pure Dark-type energy.

As the red light vanished, in a distant forest in the Kalos region, a nameless mountain woods, a black cocoon submerged in a lake twitched briefly and then returned to its calm. Similarly, a centuries-old tree near the cocoon swayed its branches twice gently for a moment and then remained motionless.

Having absorbed the black crystal, the Seed of Unknown once again merged into the bone armor on Absol's forehead, restoring peace.
