Chapter 417 How did you manage to turn the legendary spirit into this? I need a tutorial!
Xia Chi's most important purpose in coming to the Galar region this time is to resolve the crisis brought about by Wujitana.
So when he heard Sonia mention that she had recently been studying legendary elves, he naturally asked her about it.
Sonia's reaction, however, was somewhat bewildered.
"I know Zacian... Raedrön is...?"
Xia Chi was slightly taken aback.
Seriously? Turnip is arguably the most well-known legendary Pokémon in the Galar region besides the Sword and Shield duo. How could a researcher of Sonia's caliber have never even heard of it?
He immediately realized what was happening.
Yes, in the game's storyline, the decline and loss of the Rare Crown's power is directly related to the degree to which it has been "forgotten".
When faith and tales fade away, when its name is no longer remembered by living beings, this "King of Abundance," who once ruled the Crown Snowfield and protected Galar, will be reduced to a weak and impoverished turnip.
From this perspective, Sonia's complete ignorance of this is not due to her lack of skill, but rather it precisely demonstrates how weak the "presence" of the Bejeweled King has become in Galar at present.
Even the most prominent researchers in the field have no recollection of it.
Meanwhile, Sonia on the other side had already realized what was happening.
Wait, there's more!
Sonia immediately put down her fork and leaned forward towards Xia Chi.
"Teacher Xia Chi!"
Sonia's voice rose slightly with excitement, "Raycrown... So that really is the name of a legendary elf from the Galar region that hasn't been officially discovered or recorded yet, right?"
"Where did you learn this? From ancient documents? Or oral history from other regions? Or... did you see it with your own eyes?"
Before Xia Chi could reply, Sonia bombarded him with a series of questions.
Her fervent expression, as if she had sensed an important research topic, drew a sidelong glance from Lulina standing beside her.
"Well..."
Xia Chi was overwhelmed by the barrage of questions, especially with Sonia's face practically touching his.
He subconsciously leaned back, maintaining a relatively safe social distance. After all, this was Senior Brother Dan Di's childhood sweetheart, and it was best to keep some distance if he didn't want to be burned by the fire-breathing dragon.
Now that the topic has been raised, it would be suspicious to completely avoid it.
Xia Chi carefully considered his words and explained in a lighthearted manner, "Well... based on some very fragmented information I've gathered, the 'Crown King' should be an ancient legendary being who was once active in the northern part of the Galar region, probably in the Crown Snowfield area. He may be related to 'Fertility,' but like many histories that have been submerged in the river of time, for some unclear reasons, his specific deeds and name seem to have been lost in the mainstream historical records and folk legends of Galar."
"9
As Xia Chi finished speaking, Sonia continued to stare at him with that "I'm very curious" look.
Clearly, she was not satisfied with the answer to this question.
"Lost? A legendary figure associated with abundance has been completely erased or forgotten in the history of Galar? This is highly unusual! Usually, only major disasters, taboos, or deliberate subversion of beliefs would cause such a gap in memory..."
Sonia's rapid-fire speech gave Xia Chi a headache.
He had no time to tell Sonia the detailed story of how the Crane King went from being a majestic and bountiful king to a lowly turnip.
This is a long story, and it can't be told in a short time.
He could only reply, "Hmm... I'll make a video about the Queen of the Calypsodium next time I have the chance."
In fact, the Lady Crown lost her power precisely because no one knew about her.
If it uses its online influence... wouldn't this turnip gain the power to beat up Arceus?
That's probably unrealistic. Arceus's power in the Pokémon world should be comparable to the speed of light.
There is nothing that can surpass it.
It's possible that its strength surpasses that of its clone.
Upon hearing this, Sonia immediately moved even closer.
"Wait, does Teacher Xia Chi mean... the 'Hidden Legends' series is finally going to be updated?"
Sonia's eyes lit up instantly. "And are they going to update our Galar's native legends?"
Her voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement and anticipation.
Xia Chi's "Hidden Legends" series, which is popular online, has garnered a high level of attention and reputation among trainers and researchers because its content often involves little-known or even mind-blowing secrets of legendary Pokémon.
Sonia is clearly one of the series' most loyal viewers.
Xia Chi was taken aback by Sonia's overreaction, then realized that he had indeed been standing her up for quite some time.
The last update to this series... was still the legend of the two Hoenn idiots?
"Um... I'll consider it if the time and opportunity are right."
Xia Chi gave a vague reply, while quickly calculating in his mind.
Even if it's just to help the Queen of the Rachel regain her strength, he would still do it.
Of course, that's on the condition that he finds the Queen of the Lace-Crowned King first.
Otherwise, wouldn't the +1 merit be wasted?
"It's a deal then, Ms. Xia Chi!"
Sonia seemed not to hear the reservation in Xia Chi's words, automatically interpreting it as a promise, and happily sat up straight again, her face beaming with the joy of discovering a new research direction.
"Make sure to tell me first when the time comes... no, I'd be happy to help with the initial data gathering too. I'm quite familiar with the Crown Tundra!"
Seeing Xia Chi and Sonia chatting so enthusiastically, Lulina suddenly interjected, "Alright, let's eat first, we'll talk later."
While Xia Chi and Sonia were chatting, Ai Guanshi had almost finished serving all the dishes.
Although we don't know what it tastes like yet, we have to say that the speed at which this restaurant serves food is outstanding.
Milton over there stared longingly at Xia Chi, wagging its tail.
Its eyes looked just like those of a puppy waiting for its owner's command to feed it.
Sonia's gaze was also drawn to the scene. When she saw that the legendary Milton was showing such an "understanding" expression of expectation, her eyes suddenly became very strange as she scanned back and forth between Xia Chi and Milton.
Although she didn't speak, Xia Chi could almost read the meaning from her face.
"How did you manage to tune this legendary sprite like this? I need a tutorial!"
Xia Chi shrugged and gave him a look that said, "I'm helpless too."
He thought to himself, "This guy is like this from the factory settings, he comes with a dog-like personality, it's really not my fault."
Food is undoubtedly an excellent medium for bringing people closer together.
Several rounds of toasting and drinking... even though it was all tree juice.
In short, after enjoying the signature seafood at the breakwater restaurant, the atmosphere in the room became noticeably more lively and relaxed.
Xia Chi smoothly steered the conversation back to its initial direction, "Speaking of which, Sonia, you mentioned earlier that you were researching legendary Pokémon, were you focusing on Zacian and Zamazenta?"
Sonia was scooping up a spoonful of rich seafood soup when she heard this. She nodded, swallowed the soup, and replied, "That's right. After all, you've done so much in the Hoenn and Unova regions, so our other regions are studying legendary Pokémon more closely. Our Galar League is no exception, and related historical research projects have received more support."
Xia Chi: ".
'
He silently forked a piece of fish fillet that was fried to a golden brown and crispy.
No, how did this even involve me?
Alright, I forgive you since I'm definitely going to cause some trouble in the Galar region again.
Sonia, oblivious to Xia Chi's subtle inner turmoil, continued, her tone becoming serious: "The good news is that Zacian and Zamazenta are portrayed very positively in the history of the Galar mythology. What we really need to worry about is the being that triggered the Dark Night..."
"Mukutana?"
Xia Chi naturally picked up the name.
Sonia looked at him with slight surprise: "So, Teacher Xia Chi knows about it too?"
But before Xia Chi could answer, she felt relieved and even smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Oh, look at the question I asked... It would be strange if you didn't know."
Well known.
No one understands the legendary spirits better than Xia Chi!
Xia Chi pressed further, "So, has your research uncovered any new clues about Eterna?"
Although he knew that Mugentai was most likely sealed in the energy factory deep underground in Hammerlocke City, he did not know the details of when and how Loz tried to awaken him.
More information always means a greater chance of success.
When Xia Chi, a recognized "master of legendary spirit research" in the industry, took the initiative to inquire about her research results, Sonia seemed quite flattered, and even a little proud.
She cleared her throat and said, "Of course, our Sonia family has studied Galar history for generations. When it comes to understanding Eterna, probably no one in Galar knows better than me..."
She stopped mid-sentence, suddenly remembering who was sitting opposite her. Her voice trailed off, and she glanced quickly at Xia Chi before adding, with great seriousness and swiftness, "...Besides you, Teacher Xia Chi, no one understands me better than I do!"
Summer Pond:
'
"
There's no need to mythologize me like that...
He urged, "Alright, tell us your research findings now."
Sonia also said seriously, "We all know that Wujita is not a native spirit of our world, but a special existence from the universe."
Lulina, who was listening nearby:
'
So I'm not one of "us"?
How come I didn't know that?
Sonia, oblivious to her best friend's odd behavior, continued, "And Waterboat Town is the ancient ruin where the meteorite carrying Eterna crashed in Galar."
Xia Chi's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.
This information was a detail outside the game's storyline that he was unaware of; it was a setting unique to this real world.
Is Shuizhou Town actually the impact site of a meteorite?
This explains why Sonia's research was conducted here.
"In fact, the remains of what appears to be a meteorite impact crater were discovered a long time ago, on the seabed not far from the port."
Sonia explained, "But for a long time, limited by technology, we were unable to conduct effective compositional analysis and energy determination of meteorite remnants buried deep on the seabed. It wasn't until recent years, with the leapfrog development of detection technology and energy analysis instruments..."
After taking another bite of the light cod fillet, Sonia said, "Especially after the latest generation of special metal energy resonance analyzer, funded and developed by the Marocomon Group, was put into use, our research on that meteorite fragment made a breakthrough."
Marocomón Group...Chairman Loz.
Xia Chi understood immediately; indeed, the shadow of that ambitious man had always been behind this crucial research.
He asked calmly, "So, that crucial meteorite fragment now belongs to the Marocomón Group?"
Sonia shook her head: "No, ownership belongs to the Galar Alliance, and it's registered as an important historical and scientific asset, but..."
She shrugged. "For research convenience and secure storage, it has always been stored in the top-level analytical laboratory within the Marocomón Group headquarters, which is the energy plant in Gongmen City," where it is monitored and maintained daily by Marocomón Energy's core engineering team.
Her tone revealed a hint of the researcher's helplessness at not being able to directly access the core samples.
Xia Chi: ".
95
Alright, this guy Loz is both the boss of the Marocmon Group and the president of the Galar Alliance.
That's what it means to have absolute power.
"Then, may I see the recent monitoring data records for that meteorite? For example, the frequency of energy fluctuations, etc."
Xia Chi made a request, hoping to glean from it signs of Wuji Tai's awakening.
Sonia shook her head again, this time with even more helplessness: "I'm afraid that won't work. The access permissions for the data are set very high. Only a few core engineers at the Marocomon Energy Plant and Chairman Loz himself have direct access. My mentor and I can only receive a processed research briefing that does not involve sensitive parameters on a regular basis."
She pursed her lips, clearly disapproving of the level of secrecy.
Xia Chi frowned slightly.
The tight access control further confirms that Lorz is feeling guilty, or rather, is hiding key processes.
Given how much importance Lóz attaches to it, it's pretty much certain.
The meteorite being studied is very likely the true form of Eterna!
Or rather... it was the place sealed away by Zacian and Zamazent after that dark night.
Although we cannot obtain more information about Mukyuutai.
Regardless of how you look at it, this can be considered a gain.
and many more...
Meteorite?
A flash of inspiration struck Xia Chi; he suddenly remembered something.
It seems he... also has a similar meteorite?
Before leaving Galar last year, in an effort to win him over, Loth not only generously funded the construction of the Isle of Enlightenment, gifted him a precious Master Ball, but also gave him a meteorite fragment that was said to be "of great research value".
At the time, he had a vague feeling that the meteorite might be related to Anuttara, but he did not investigate it further.
Later, due to various matters, he moved from Shanghai to Qiming Island, and he casually put the stone away, probably in a drawer or cabinet in his bedroom.
As time went by, he completely forgot about it until his conversation with Sonia brought it back to mind.
Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it now.
After dinner here, I'll contact Yui on the island and ask her to look for it in the bedroom.
"Did you think of anything, Teacher Xia Chi?"
Sonia's voice interrupted Xia Chi's thoughts.
Xia Chi looked up, meeting her thoughtful gaze. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "If I were to say... I might also possess a small piece of meteorite from the same source... Dr. Sonia, would you be interested... or rather, capable of helping to analyze it?"
