Chapter 375 A Late-Night Clinic Farce
All Ash could see was the image formed by the waveguide.
Ash couldn't hear the conversations from the past, but just by seeing the scene, he roughly knew what Deoxys had gone through in this story.
And the ultimate fate of that hero...
The seal here was personally set up by that hero of the Aura, using the extraterrestrial meteorite from when Deoxys descended as raw material, his own Aura as the chain, and a similar type of Aura as the key.
In the end, he chose to exhaust his own waveguide power to secure a possible future for Deoxys.
The possibility of it waking up in peacetime would allow it to get through that long period of loneliness and solitude, and truly gain so-called companionship and freedom in this world.
In a daze, Ash's Aura seemed to have discovered something on the collapsed meteorite, and waves of Aura particles began to drift with the airflow and land on Deoxys.
Having mastered the power of aura, Deoxys seemed to sense the vibration of the aura. It transformed its spiral arms into human-like arms, gathering aura as if trying to grasp the particle. However, the aura power had already lost all its life as it drifted away, like a withered leaf.
"Bye now"
It's not a hallucination.
Ash was certain that he seemed to hear this farewell from thousands of years ago.
This was his final farewell before he left.
The worries and longings entrusted to the waveguide finally found their final resting place after a thousand years. Deoxys, who had mastered the power of the waveguide, also heard his first and only companion's final care and farewell.
Perhaps it was he who truly enabled Deoxys to master the power of waveguides.
After witnessing the complete disappearance of the waveguide particles, Ash couldn't help but think this.
Even Deoxys didn't believe that it was possible to break through the limitations of genes in such a short time and so easily master the power of waveguides that he himself could not control.
But if this is a gift from the hero, then it all seems to make sense.
The waveguides of the past have slowly merged into the vast ocean of "reality" over time.
After completely losing all sense of the hero's aura, Ash finally focused his attention back on Deoxys.
Just as he was about to ask Deoxys about his future plans, Deoxys unexpectedly reached out his hand to him first.
The etiquette of shaking hands.
It was clearly not due to the custom of the Deoxys race, but rather the guidance of that friend.
"..."
Xiao Zhi remained silent.
He simply followed Deoxys's action and extended his own hand as well.
The two clasped hands, and Ash felt a chill. Deoxys's identity as a visitor from space was indeed evident from its body temperature, which was somewhat similar to that of Ice-type Pokémon, but the feeling it gave was completely different.
It's unclear whether the concept of temperature even exists in Deoxys's perception.
"what do you mean--"
Ash remained silent, simply gazing at Deoxys across from him. Their auras flowed out silently once more, merging together. There was no need to ask Deoxys what he was thinking.
In Deoxys's mind, if someone is willing to shake hands, then they are friends.
Since we're friends, we need to walk this path together.
It's very simple.
Just like the heroes of the past who faced death with equanimity for it, I, in order to fulfill its will, decided to follow in the footsteps of the heroes who saved me.
"Then please guide me."
"Pikachu~"
"Ouch~"
After realizing that the Pokémon they initially considered an enemy had become their ally in such a short time, Pikachu and Infernape also showed their friendliness towards Deoxys.
Deoxys accepted all comers. Having endured the pain of loneliness in the past, it never imagined that when it awoke again, the world would actually become the way it had described.
The waveguide lineage is inherited.
The story of the Waveguide Hero will continue into the distant future.
......
"So, is this why you said that one person can rest better here, and that's why you sent us all away?"
Even the bravest warriors of the Waveguide have insurmountable hurdles.
Xiao Zhi had barely made it back to the hospital before sunrise.
Of course, with Deoxys's help, Ash's entire return journey only took about ten minutes. Deoxys's psychic power was simply too strong. While ensuring that Ash, Pikachu, and itself could all fly, its speed could even exceed the full-speed flight of a typical Flying-type Pokémon.
Even though Ash had battled countless legendary Pokémon in the past, he still couldn't help but be amazed.
It's important to know that this Deoxys is, in a sense, in its early stages.
I know and have little exposure to it; it's just that it has existed for a relatively long time.
The accumulation of power has not yet officially begun; it is merely relying on its innate strength.
Even so, Deoxys's power is unmatched by ordinary Pokémon; perhaps this is what makes it a legendary Pokémon.
Ash hadn't expected to gain so much from this trip, so he hadn't brought any Poké Balls with him; they were still in his backpack. Just as Ash was about to sneak back to his room to retrieve the Poké Balls and officially catch Deoxys, he pushed open the door and was surprised to find not an empty hospital room, but a smiling Dawn.
As night fell, Xiaozhi told Xiaoguang and Xiaogang to stay at the hotel, while he would stay at the hospital by himself.
Fearing they might suddenly come to check on him, Xiao Zhi even waited until late at night before getting up and setting off.
Why did this happen?
"It's...around 4 AM now—"
"Does it have anything to do with what time it is?" Xiao Guang said with a smile. "Shouldn't we be discussing your running away alone? Mr. Xiao Zhi, why did you sneak out again in the middle of the night? Judging from the snow on you, you seem to have been out for quite a while."
Ash: "......"
I'm angry.
She must be angry.
Ash wanted to run away alone because he knew that if he mentioned his plans to go back to Dawn and Brock, they would definitely stop him.
That's why I thought I'd go alone and come back quickly, so they wouldn't worry.
As long as you can keep it a secret, you can be sure you didn't do it!
But little did he know what Hikari was up to in the middle of the night. Caught off guard, Satoshi couldn't utter a single word when faced with Hikari's friendly questioning.
And if you're going to question me, then so be it.
Why use "sir" and "you"?
She must be extremely angry.
However, it's not that Ash can't understand; if he couldn't understand Dawn's feelings, he wouldn't have run away alone.
It was freezing cold outside, and the place I was going to was the same place that had made me faint.
It can be said that this action was done at the complete risk of his life, and Ash accepted it even though Dawn didn't understand.
"Ugh--"
It's okay to be angry, but what can you do about it?
Seeing Ash's expression of "I admit I was wrong, I don't know if I'll do it again next time," Dawn gave up on continuing to scold Ash.
She never imagined that, after tossing and turning in bed all night, unable to sleep, she would suddenly have the idea to come here—
Ok.
Look at Ash afterward.
What she found was an empty hospital bed, almost devoid of warmth, indicating that Xiao Zhi had been gone for some time.
Xiao Guang immediately guessed where Xiao Zhi was. After all, it was highly unlikely that Xiao Zhi would faint so inexplicably. Xiao Zhi was usually healthy enough to compete with Pokémon in strength, so how could he suddenly faint in a situation where there was no unexpected event?
There must be some unknown reason behind this.
Even though she knew where Ash was going, Hikari didn't chase after him. She just sat quietly on Ash's bed, waiting for him to return. She also silently calculated the time in her mind. If Ash hadn't returned by a certain time, she would take Brock to look for him again.
Fortunately, Xiaozhi returned a little earlier than she had expected.
However, despite forgiving him, Hikari believed he still had the right to know about things related to Satoshi.
So Xiaoguang asked the next question.
"So why are you going back? Are you looking for something?"
Dawn once again yielded to Ash.
After all, she knew that she couldn't contain Ash by herself alone.
"I guess so?"
Xiao Zhi's answer was somewhat ambiguous.
Just as Xiao Guang was about to ask further questions out of confusion.
Xiao Zhi turned his head away, as if beckoning someone to come up.
Under Xiao Guang's puzzled gaze, a strangely shaped, never-before-seen creature suddenly appeared in front of him in the dark ward.
"Eh?"
......
Silent all night.
That is impossible.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm really sorry!"
Early in the morning, Xiao Zhi packed up and prepared to leave the ward to continue his journey.
Before leaving, Xiaoguang made sure to apologize to the doctor at the clinic.
Who could have caused Xiaoguang to suddenly let out a scream as if he had seen a ghost in the middle of the night in such a peaceful mountain clinic?
Fortunately, Xiaozhi was the only patient at the clinic yesterday, so only the doctor was injured.
However, no matter how you look at it, you can't really blame Xiaoguang.
After all, in the middle of the night, the sudden appearance of such a huge, unprecedented, and terrifying figure would startle anyone.
Moreover, it appeared suddenly in front of Xiaoguang without her being prepared at all.
Deoxys was called a demon in ancient times not only because of the feeling it evoked, but also because of its appearance.
Compared to creatures on Earth, they are indeed a little bit special and strange.
At least in a mountain clinic late at night, normal people would rather encounter a Ghost-type Pokémon than Deoxys.
"Please be more careful in the future. You almost caused my heart to break down."
The middle-aged doctor said to Xiao Guang with some helplessness.
He was sleeping soundly last night when he was startled awake by such a pitiful sound, even though this place is deep in the mountains.
Having no experience treating patients late at night, he felt helpless in the face of such an emergency.
"Besides, young people shouldn't scare each other like that. It's not good for their relationship. Sometimes, indifference in a relationship can happen in an instant, not just during a relationship, but even after marriage—sigh!!!"
For some reason, the doctor started to sigh again as he spoke.
His overall demeanor began to become increasingly decadent.
Why would this doctor open a clinic in the mountains? That's really strange.
"I...I understand...I'm sorry..."
Xiao Guang couldn't refute the doctor's words at this moment, so he could only obediently apologize to him.
But after she came out, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Why me?!
Xiao Guang shouted in his heart.
It's all Ash's fault! I'm a victim too!
Speaking of which, where exactly did Ash go?
......
now.
In front of the video phone displayed outside the clinic.
Xiao Zhi also looked helpless, staring at the strange figure on the other end of the phone.
"Give it to me! Hurry! Deoxys! Teleport here now!"
Ash: "......"
Deoxys "..."
Upon learning that Ash had caught Deoxys, Professor Oak pressed his entire face against the screen on the other end of the phone, his eyes wide open, looking as if he was about to drool. He stared intently at Deoxys behind Ash, unwilling to look away for even a moment.
Ash catching Darkrai was already surprising enough to him.
But at least Darkrai is a relatively easy legendary Pokémon to encounter.
Much research has been done on Darkrai.
But Deoxys is different!
Life from the universe.
A powerful force.
A rare existence.
Any one of these words alone would be enough to excite the Pokémon professors for quite some time.
There is very little known research on Deoxys, and almost no one knows anything about this mysterious cosmic Pokémon.
The result was that even such a creature was successfully captured by Ash.
Professor Oak even wanted to jump right up to Ash and start studying Deoxys up close.
