Chapter 631 The Fossil Legion (2)
Chapter 631 The Fossil Legion (2)
The fossils collected by Dream were so numerous that Wang Qiyi couldn't handle them all by himself. He asked Dream to connect this deserted island secret realm with his Tanghe secret realm, opening a portal. This way, he could go to the Tanghe research base to gather people to help.
The Tanghe Research Base has a dedicated fossil research group. Some of the researchers in this group are technicians working for Huiguang Technology, while others are scientists from the Academia Sinica, a nationally recognized institution. Since Wang Qiyi and Xiao Li invented the fossil revival device and established a special area in the Tanghe Secret Realm as a fossil spirit sanctuary, the paleontology experts from the Academia Sinica have moved here.
There are currently over 2000 fossil Pokémon living in the Tanghe Secret Realm. Occasionally, trainers with Wang Qiyi's permission will come to capture them. If he finds a particularly high-quality fossil Pokémon, he will recommend it to other trainers, especially the younger students at Yunjiang High School.
When the scientists from the fossil research team arrived at the deserted island secret realm under Wang Qiyi's command, they exclaimed "Wow!" just like Wang Qiyi. They all shouted excitedly. So many fossils as research samples would be enough for them to write many papers.
“Dream, I’ve asked the scientists at Tanghe to classify all the fossils here first, and then find the ones that can be revived and revive them one by one. You should keep the passage between this secret realm and the Tanghe secret realm intact. If all the fossils here are revived, the living space in the Tanghe secret realm might not be enough, so let them return to this deserted island secret realm to live.”
"Yes, if you can really bring them all back to life, I would be so grateful. They are all my friends."
"Well, you don't mind if I find some particularly high-quality fossil Pokémon and let the trainers catch them, do you?"
"Of course I don't mind. As long as they are willing to be tamed, that's their freedom. Excellent human trainers will even help them grow quickly."
Wang Qiyi was overjoyed. With so many fossil spirits, he could really build his own fossil army. He would definitely prioritize giving one to his friends: Jia Wencheng, Li Yaoyao, Jiang Zining, He Jiaying, and he would also give one to Li Xintian.
Just as Wang Qiyi was about to hand over all the work here to the fossil research group, a person in charge suddenly approached him. The man, surnamed Guo, was in his early fifties and was a senior researcher and full professor at the Alliance Central Research Institute. He was the highest-ranking scientist sent to conduct fossil research. He brought two young doctoral students with him, carrying an oval fossil about 50 centimeters long to Wang Qiyi. The fossil was quite heavy, so it took two people to carry it.
"Dr. Wang, could you help me identify what kind of spirit this fossil belongs to? We're classifying fossils, but we can't tell at all from this one." Professor Guo, wearing reading glasses and holding a flashlight and magnifying glass, frantically examined the fossil, his brow furrowed.
Although Wang Qiyi was younger than all the researchers present, he was the inventor of the fossil revival device, and no one dared to question his authority in the field of fossil research. Wang Qiyi took the flashlight and magnifying glass from Professor Guo and carefully examined the fossil's texture, muttering to himself, "A fossil I've never seen before; it seems there aren't any species like this among those that have been revived before."
Professor Guo nodded: "I thought I was seeing things, so I wanted to confirm with you. This is indeed something we've never seen before; it's a new discovery. We've found another brand-new fossil Pokémon. Look at the segmented limbs protruding here; I guess it's a Bug-type Pokémon fossil."
"Bug type!" Wang Qiyi was still pondering what kind of Pokémon fossil it was when Professor Guo reminded him of something. He grabbed the fossil from the two of them and examined it.
"Be careful, it's heavy!" Professor Guo was startled. He hadn't expected Wang Qiyi to be so young and strong, easily handling the 100-pound stone. Trainers and Pokémon train together every day, so their physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people. Wang Qiyi also frequently eats Pokémon berries and Energy Cubes, and his physique is quietly developing towards that of a Pallet Town resident.
“It’s Genesect!” Wang Qiyi confirmed after thoroughly examining the fossil’s structure. “This is no ordinary fossil spirit.”
"You know this kind of elf?" Professor Guo asked in surprise.
"Professor Guo, you are right, it is a Bug-type Pokémon. It lived about 3 million years ago and was the dominant Pokémon of that era, so it was very powerful."
"3 million years! The existence of elves has been that long?"
Wang Qiyi inadvertently revealed Genesect's official setting, but the people of this world haven't reached that level of research on Pokémon yet; Pokémon studies are only a few decades old. Wang Qiyi hadn't conducted any research, and without supporting data, his conclusion was bound to be questioned as baseless.
However, given his status and position, Professor Guo simply assumed he had done research in this area and stopped questioning him: "After 3 million years as a fossil, can it be brought back to life?"
Wang Qiyi shook his head: "I don't know. I'll leave the research on Genesect to you, Professor Guo. But I must warn you, this guy is very strong. He was born at the Master level, and his body is a war machine. When you revive him, you must find a safe place, preferably with a Legendary Trainer in charge. Here's what we'll do: let me know when you're sure you want to try to revive him, and I'll be there to keep watch."
Professor Guo swallowed hard: "Dr. Wang, you know so much about it, do you have any relevant research data for me to refer to?"
"No, I haven't done any research on it. My knowledge of it comes entirely from what Meng Huan told me." Wang Qiyi shifted all the blame to Meng Huan, who was wandering around the fossil pile in the distance, occasionally joking with the researchers, and some staff members even took out their phones to take pictures of Meng Huan.
"What else do you know? Tell me, okay? I'll take notes so it can be used as a reference for future research." Professor Guo instructed his subordinates to continue classifying the fossils, while he pulled Wang Qiyi to a rock in the cave for a long talk and to take notes. Wang Qiyi recounted almost everything he knew about the official settings concerning Genesect.
He was also pondering the placement of Genesect. The Genesect he remembered was indeed very powerful. In the anime movie, a Shiny Genesect could fight Mewtwo to a standstill, and its body could even defy Earth's gravity and fly into space. Its strength was definitely above the peak of a Guardian Deity, touching the realm of gods. Other ordinary Genesects also had legendary or even mythical aspects; a Pokémon that could dominate the world 3 million years ago must have been extraordinary.
“You can modify this island according to my design. The Genesects will definitely like it. The modification costs will be covered by Glowing Technology. Let them inhabit the Tanghe Secret Realm. If it causes trouble, I can suppress it. The Genesects are no ordinary fighting force; they are true weapons of war.”
"Are you talking about this small island?" Professor Guo pointed to an inconspicuous rocky islet on the Tanghe Secret Realm map. It was just a large rock, slightly larger than the rocky island where the dominant Gyarados once lived, and it had a small mound with a few trees on it.
Wang Qiyi nodded: "This island is about 2 square meters in area, and there aren't many elves living on it. It's easy to modify." The modification plan that Wang Qiyi gave was based on the living style that Genesect liked best in the anime.
The Tibetan Silver Lotus is a lotus-like plant from the Pokémon world. It's an aquatic plant with large green leaves and white flowers, which many people confuse with the white lotus from Earth. While they may appear indistinguishable at first glance, the Tibetan Silver Lotus's root is the Silver Root Fruit, a type of tree fruit. It's a favorite of water-type Pokémon and an essential ingredient in water-specific energy cubes.
Genesect once lived in an area where the Silver Lotus grew. So in the anime, when they discovered an elf ecological park where Silver Lotus was grown, they immediately occupied the place and drove away other elves, which shows that they have a strong sense of territory and find it difficult to coexist with other elves.
During the discussion between Wang Qiyi and Professor Guo, the staff found several more Genesect fossils.
