Chapter 412 - Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [412]

Tyranitar couldn't help but feel deeply unlucky.

As the strongest Pokémon on Mount Silver, the undisputed ruler of the mountain, it had no natural predators.

Over the years, it had grown a calm and easygoing temperament.

Its days were spent munching on rocks and planting trees to improve Mount Silver's greenery—a peaceful and satisfying life.

But two weeks ago, everything changed.

While peacefully enjoying its meal and tending to its trees, something—or rather, someone—dropped from the sky into its territory.

A strange Pokémon appeared, attacked it without warning, and even took over its home, forcing it to flee.

Even with its usually good-natured temperament, Tyranitar couldn't tolerate such an affront.

Infuriated, it tried several times to confront the intruder. But each attempt ended with another beating.

After repeatedly failing to reclaim its territory, Tyranitar was forced to accept the bitter truth—it was no match for the invader.

Dejected, it moved to another lake, intending to recover and plot its revenge.

But even here, peace eluded it.

First, a group of humans had disturbed its rest. Though annoyed, Tyranitar let them leave without a fight. But then this particular human showed up, bringing along a Pokémon it had never seen before.

Not only had they defeated it in battle, but the human had the audacity to try and capture it, the great Tyranitar!

Naturally, Tyranitar refused to accept this humiliation.

Frustrated and enraged by the repeated disturbances, it had resorted to unleashing its Hyper Beam.

But reality hit hard—none of its attacks had worked.

It wasn't even a contest!

"How did the world change so much while I was asleep?" Tyranitar thought bitterly.

For years, it had been invincible, and now it seemed like anyone could show up and defeat it.

Still, as Mount Silver's ruler, Tyranitar had its pride.

Even if it couldn't win in battle, it vowed never to submit to this human's attempt to capture it!

Yet... what was this strange feeling?

The soothing aura that enveloped it felt... peaceful. It smelled like a lush forest.

Was its body healing?

...This was nice.

Luo Yuan, meanwhile, had no idea what was running through Tyranitar's mind.

He simply stared at the Pokémon, confused by its sudden change in demeanor.

The once-aggressive Tyranitar now seemed... friendly.

"Is this the same Tyranitar that was raging a moment ago?" Luo Yuan wondered aloud.

The drastic shift in behavior left him baffled.

He briefly considered whether his Verdant Power was responsible, but that didn't quite add up.

The Verdant Power fostered closeness, not obedience. This level of transformation was beyond what he expected.

Still, he didn't dwell on it for long.

A more cooperative Tyranitar meant less time spent building trust—a win in his book.

"Tyranitar, as the ruler of Mount Silver, you must know something about the Pokémon causing all this chaos," Luo Yuan asked.

Tyranitar perked up immediately.

Was its new trainer planning to avenge it?

"ROAR!"

Tyranitar nodded eagerly, waving its claws in the air to describe the intruder.

Luo Yuan tried to piece together its gestures and grunts, but the more he watched, the less sense it made.

"Alright, stop for a moment..." Luo Yuan interrupted.

Seeing Tyranitar's puzzled expression, Luo Yuan said, "Let me access your mind directly. I'll see for myself."

Tyranitar hesitated briefly before complying.

Blue light flashed in Luo Yuan's eyes as he linked his psychic energy to Tyranitar's thoughts.

"Now, picture the Pokémon for me," Luo Yuan instructed.

Tyranitar clutched its head, concentrating hard.

A vivid mental image began to form in Luo Yuan's mind.

"!"

The sight was unmistakable—red and blue limbs, a black triangular core...

If Luo Yuan didn't know better, he might have thought his own Deoxys had somehow escaped.

"Deoxys..." Luo Yuan murmured.

He had always known there were two Deoxys in the world, but encountering the second one here at Mount Silver was a surprise.

To confirm, Luo Yuan released his own Deoxys from its Master Ball.

PFFT!

In a flash of white light, Deoxys materialized.

Luo Yuan pointed to it and asked Tyranitar, "Is this the Pokémon you saw?"

Tyranitar flinched, momentarily mistaking Luo Yuan's Deoxys for the invader.

It prepared to attack but paused when it heard Luo Yuan's question.

After a moment of hesitation, Tyranitar relaxed and nodded.

Its wary gaze lingered on Deoxys, as if bracing for a fight.

"So it really is the second Deoxys," Luo Yuan muttered.

He glanced at his Deoxys, noticing that it had turned toward Mount Silver's core, as though sensing something.

"Deoxys, you feel it too?" Luo Yuan asked.

Deoxys nodded, responding telepathically.

Its confirmation left no doubt in Luo Yuan's mind.

"Alright, let's go take a look," he decided.

A second Deoxys was too significant to ignore.

But before heading to the mountain's core, Luo Yuan recalled his Deoxys to avoid being seen by the League investigators who had entered Mount Silver earlier.

"Let's go, Tyranitar. Time to 'settle the score,'" Luo Yuan said with a grin.

With Tyranitar in tow, he advanced toward the heart of Mount Silver.

Mount Silver – Deep Core

In a secluded cavern, a black triangular core stood silently at the center of an open clearing.

Surrounding it lay a group of unconscious humans—the missing investigation team.

The mysterious Pokémon within the black prism suddenly opened its eyes.

A flicker of confusion crossed its gaze.

Moments ago, it had felt a familiar presence—one so similar to its own that it couldn't ignore it.

But the sensation vanished as quickly as it appeared.

Was it just its imagination?

After pondering for a moment, the Pokémon closed its eyes once more, returning to its dormant state.
