Chapter 419: Deoxys
The door pushed open.
The very first item directly opposite the door made Hikaru's pupils quake.
It was a pair of smooth, round meteorites, roughly orange-red in color.
Most importantly, they weren't secret treasures, but a pair of Pokémon.
[Pokémon: Deoxys]
[Ability: Pressure]
[Gender: Genderless]
[Talent: Second (First)-Tier Deity]
[Level: ???]
[Moves: Night Shade, Teleport, Psyshock, Gravity, Skill Swap, Recover, Amnesia, Energy Ball, Expanding Force, Flash Cannon...]
[Description]: Two Pokémon from outer space. After a battle with Rayquaza, they intended to return to space to recover energy but ended up here for unknown reasons. Currently in a dormant state...
Gulp...
Hikaru swallowed hard.
Looking at these two stones, he was somewhat surprised.
He hadn't expected to find Deoxys's original forms here.
Moreover, the Spiritual Medicine Bureau seemed to have also discovered its original forms.
The description above read—A certain extremely powerful Pokémon, currently in a dormant state.
It wasn't just Hikaru who discovered them; the other few also clearly noticed these two meteorites placed at the very front. Upon inspection, they were actually two Pokémon?
"These are two meteorites found during a search at the poles decades ago. Although they contain rich life energy, in reality, they have been dormant for decades."
Seeing the curious gazes of the group of children, Gong Hui explained.
And his next sentence made the eyes of the several people gathered around light up in an instant.
"You all should look at the other things. The secret treasures here are at least SS+ rank or above. Originally, they weren't intended for sale, but today, this old man will make the decision: each of you children can pick one item for free!"
"Really?"
Sakura's (Xiao Ye) eyes sparkled.
Such secret treasures, even in her family, wouldn't be given away so casually.
The price was a small matter; the main thing was their rarity.
One could even say they were priceless with no market.
The other few people's eyes also lit up, looking at Gong Hui in disbelief.
Hikaru's [Eye of Scrutiny] swept across, and he exclaimed inwardly, "Good heavens."
[SS+ Secret Treasure – Fruit from a five-hundred-year-old Changchun Fruit Tree. Each fruit can greatly enhance a Pokémon's stamina and is also a good material for making energy cubes.]
[SS+ Secret Treasure – Fruit from a five-hundred-and-sixty-four-year-old Shalin Fruit Tree. Each fruit can greatly enhance a Pokémon's Special Attack.]
...
"Of course, it's true. Apart from a few important items, as long as it's a secret treasure useful to your Pokémon, you can choose it."
Gong Hui said cheerfully.
"Do the important items include this one?"
Hikaru walked up to one of the cabinets preserving a secret treasure.
[SSS-Rank Secret Treasure – Blue Orb. A pearl emitting a red radiance, with a profound connection to the God of the Seas. When held by Kyogre, it can transform into its Primal Form!]
A trace of curiosity flickered across Gong Hui's kind face.
"Child, do you recognize this orb?"
Everyone else also looked over.
"I sense the aura of Kyogre... on it."
"I almost forgot you had a chance encounter with Kyogre."
Gong Hui immediately understood and explained, "This is the Origin Orb of the Sea God Kyogre. Possessing it allows Kyogre to transform into its more powerful Primal Form."
"This orb indeed cannot be given to you. Groudon and Kyogre are mortal enemies, and both are currently searching for their Origin Orbs. If one side finds it first, it will inevitably lead to another great battle."
"Mainly, this orb isn't much use to you all, is it?"
Very reasonable.
Hikaru didn't ask further and instead focused his gaze on other secret treasures.
He found that even in this final room, SSS-rank secret treasures were still scarce, only a dozen or so.
Most were SS+ rank secret treasures.
With his [Eye of Scrutiny], Hikaru naturally locked his gaze on these SSS-rank secret treasures.
One item among them caught his attention.
It was a rusty, sword-like object.
[Rusted Sword (Incomplete) – SSS Secret Treasure. A sword possessing mysterious power.]
Unlike the sword hilt that appeared last time, this time it was the tip of Zacian's sword, and its rank had even reached SSS.
Hikaru pointed at it, "Is this one okay?"
The description above this time read—Guessed to be the remnant of a weapon from a certain Legendary Pokémon, reason for incompleteness unknown, its power is immense once restored.
Zacian's sword, honestly, ever since obtaining the hilt last time, Hikaru had occasionally taken it out to examine.
But without finding the tip, it had gradually become a mere display piece.
Now, the tip was coincidentally right here.
"Child? Do you recognize this sword?"
Gong Hui was somewhat curious.
The sharpness of this sword, even his Lucario would feel a chilling edge if it touched it slightly. From the depictions in the Legendary Pokémon Record,
This was most likely the sword of a Legendary Pokémon named Zacian.
Rumor had it, it and...
"Mhm..."
Hikaru didn't lie, or rather, there was no need to.
"I have its other half! I want to see if it can be repaired, and then witness its grandeur."
Gong Hui was stunned. Firstly, he was surprised that Hikaru actually recognized this sword. Secondly, he was surprised Hikaru said it so easily.
This feeling was somewhat peculiar.
But he quickly recovered, chuckled, and opened the cabinet. The Gothitelle that had been following beside him immediately used its psychic power to take out the sword tip.
"Alright, child, it belongs to you now."
Gong Hui didn't mind. The Rusted Sword floated in front of Hikaru, and then a small wooden box floated over from the side of the cabinet.
The wooden box instantly enveloped the sword tip. Hikaru wasted no words, took the wooden box, and put it into his backpack.
"Alright, what about you all?"
Gong Hui looked at the few others staring intently and urged them to hurry up and choose, while he himself strolled among the various display cases.
The group bowed slightly and immediately went to select the secret treasures they needed.
And on Hikaru's side, having chosen for himself, next was naturally to help Sakura (Xiao Ye) choose.
"Bro~ That sword you just picked, what use is it to you?"
As the group dispersed, Sakura (Xiao Ye) asked softly.
Hikaru shook his head, "It's temporarily useless to me."
The Rusted Sword was Zacian's weapon; it was naturally of no use to him.
"Huh? Then didn't you get anything out of this trip?"
Sakura (Xiao Ye) was a bit doubtful.
Such an opportunity, shouldn't one choose secret treasures useful to one's own Pokémon?
Hikaru rubbed her head, "Choosing the best isn't as good as choosing what's suitable. And you might not necessarily be able to get the best things anyway."
Among the dozen or so SSS-rank secret treasures, besides the Origin Orb, there were naturally other good things. It was just these SSS-rank secret treasures...
Hikaru felt he simply had no chance.
