Chapter 959: Resurrection

Chapter 959: Resurrection After listening to the research report from the three Malamar, Yuga speculated that the microorganisms capable of secreting a special substance were likely specialized parasites that lived on evolution stone veins.

Furthermore, when this microorganism's special substance encountered regular evolution stones, it had the ability to transform them into supreme-grade evolution stones.

However, the formation of evolution stone veins generally took billions of years to evolve, making it challenging to deduce how supreme-grade evolution stones were formed.

These microorganisms had been living on evolution stones for tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of years. The reason they remained undiscovered until now was because the energy in the evolution stones they were bound to was difficult to separate. Even if the special substance in supreme-grade evolution stones was extracted, it was challenging to study.

If it weren't for Meowstic inadvertently using Ghost Sea Sea Water to dissolve the energy enveloping the special substance, the three Malamar would have struggled to understand the material extracted from supreme-grade evolution stones.

However, even if the secret of supreme-grade evolution stones was unraveled, it didn't have a significant impact on Yuga. This was because the amount of special substance that could be extracted from one evolution stone was extremely limited.

While the special substance extracted from one supreme-grade evolution stone could be used to create several bottles of evolution potion, supreme-grade evolution stones were already quite rare, and they were not renewable resources. With the few supreme-grade evolution stones Yuga had, he couldn't produce a substantial amount of evolution potion.

If only this special substance could be regenerated! It was at this moment that Yuga suddenly thought of Mewtwo.

Mewtwo was a clone created by Team Rocket based on Mew's genes.

If Team Rocket could use cloning technology to replicate a Pokémon almost on par with Level 1 Legendary Pokémon, Mewtwo, then wouldn't it be reasonable for Yuga to clone ancient microorganisms?

As long as these microorganisms could be resurrected, it would mean a continuous source of special substance production and the ability to create many evolution potions.

Although the effects of evolution potions were not as potent as supreme-grade evolution stones, as they could only raise a Pokémon's potential from yellow to green, it was sufficient for Yuga.

So, Yuga shared this idea with the three Malamar, who found it very intriguing and practical, agreeing that Yuga's proposal was feasible.

The special substance within supreme-grade evolution stones contains the genes of these microorganisms, making it theoretically possible to resurrect them through cloning technology.

However, the field of genetics was not an area the three Malamar had deep expertise in. Achieving results in this area in a short period seemed unlikely.

Yuga's proposal appeared to open new doors for the three Malamar, and they displayed a deep fascination with genetic technology, almost as if they were eager to start researching it immediately, displaying the enthusiasm of true scientific enthusiasts.

These three Malamar indeed had extraordinary talents in scientific research. If they hadn't fallen into Yuga's hands, who knows what kind of chaos they might have caused in the future.

However, the Malamar's previous expertise was primarily in researching Pokémon's elemental energy, including energy collection, conversion, and preservation, which was significantly different from the field of genetics.

Furthermore, the current laboratory lacked the necessary equipment for genetic research, and Yuga would need to purchase additional equipment, which would cost a substantial amount of money.

Scientific research activities often required significant investments. YoYo Day Care's business was doing well, and Yuga was not short on funds. When you earned more money, you naturally spent more.

For Yuga, acquiring the necessary research equipment wasn't a major issue. Devon Corporation had many laboratories under its umbrella, and Yuga had access to specialized equipment production facilities. With his current relationship with Devon, procuring state-of-the-art equipment was not a problem.

After agreeing to swiftly send over the required research equipment for the Malamar, Yuga left the Ecopark.

As he stepped into the store, Yuga saw a commercial on the television that caught his attention.

The advertisement promoted a product from Devon Corporation, specifically a Fossil Revival Device.

A Fossil Revival Device? Yuga was very surprised. The existence of a Fossil Revival Device meant that having Fossil Pokémon in the hands of trainers would no longer be a rarity in the future.

Thinking about it, Yuga realized he played a small part in the creation of the Fossil Revival Device.

There was a pre-existing ancient plant research institute in Verdanturf Town, and it was owned by Devon Corporation. The primary purpose of establishing this institute was to support research on the Fossil Revival Device.

The Stone family, father, and son, were both fossil enthusiasts. The Fossil Revival Device had been a project they had been researching for quite some time, but progress had not been smooth.

Later, the Ancient Plant Research Institute borrowed Yuga's Cradily, and from it, they found a clearer research direction, accelerating the creation of the Fossil Revival Device.

While Cradily didn't play a pivotal role in this process, it had at least provided some inspiration.

The birth of the Fossil Revival Device held monumental significance. It meant that ancient Pokémon, which once only appeared in the form of fossils, would now be able to meet trainers and researchers.

It was a romantic meeting of species across time and space, appealing to both trainers and scientists.

Devon Corporation promoted the Fossil Revival Device vigorously, and it quickly spread throughout the Pokémon world, causing a significant stir. Countless people were eager to get a piece of the action.

It was common knowledge that the Fossil Revival Device held enormous potential for profit.

Unfortunately, Devon Corporation had no intentions of selling the Fossil Revival Device directly, at least not for now.

They would only grant access to the device, allowing people to bring their own fossils to Devon's subsidiary research facilities and pay to use the Fossil Revival Device.

While other entities were envious of the significant benefits that the Fossil Revival Device could bring, Devon Corporation, with its wealth and power, couldn't be forced into doing something they didn't want to do. So others could only watch from afar, unable to act.

Learning about the creation of the Fossil Revival Device, Yuga had been pondering whether it could also be used to revive microorganisms that lived during the same era as fossil Pokémon.

Even if it wasn't possible, the Fossil Revival Device would surely provide some inspiration for the research conducted by the Malamar.

Therefore, when he contacted Devon Corporation to purchase the necessary genetic research equipment, he also expressed his interest in acquiring a Fossil Revival Device.

Initially, he was just testing the waters and didn't expect to succeed. After all, the Fossil Revival Device had just been introduced. However, shortly after, Steven contacted him directly, stating their intention to gift Yuga a Fossil Revival Device as a token of appreciation. Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Yuga was surprised by Devon Corporation's generosity, but Steven explained that Yuga's Cradily had provided significant inspiration for their research. This Fossil Revival Device was a thank-you gift from Devon to Yuga.

With the Fossil Revival Device in his possession, Yuga could not only assist the Malamar in their genetic experiments but also use the fossil he obtained from Steven initially.

Devon Corporation had high efficiency in handling these matters, and soon, the research equipment Yuga ordered, along with the Fossil Revival Device, was delivered to Verdanturf Town.

The people from the Ancient Plant Research Institute, who also received a Fossil Revival Device for their research, were the ones who brought the equipment to Yuga. This was the reason the devices from both institutions were delivered to Verdanturf Town together.

The Fossil Revival Device had become a hot topic everywhere, and the other members of the YoYo Day Care and the Verdanturf Gym, upon hearing that Yuga had acquired one, gathered around out of curiosity to see what it looked like.

Yuga intended to install the Fossil Revival Device in the gym, so when the staff from the Ancient Plant Research Institute brought the equipment, Yuga asked them to transport it to the gym.

The Fossil Revival Device was quite massive, with numerous independent components. To facilitate transportation, it was disassembled when delivered, and professionals were needed to come and assemble it.

Yuga received comprehensive service. Once the equipment was delivered, Devon Corporation's personnel assisted in its assembly.

Once the device was set up, the children at the gym excitedly requested Yuga to revive some Pokémon for them to see.

Since it was currently the winter vacation and the new year had just begun, the children at the gym hadn't yet returned to school. Instead, they spent their days diligently training with Hokuto.

Seeing their high spirits, Yuga agreed, and he was eager to try the machine himself.

He took out a prepared fossil and placed it in the device's chamber. With guidance from the installation personnel, Yuga quickly learned how to operate the Fossil Revival Device.

Before activating the device, it was necessary to inject a specific revival fluid into the chamber where the fossil was placed. This revival fluid was developed by Devon Corporation, specifically for resurrecting fossil Pokémon, and it was a crucial element in ensuring a successful revival.

Devon had included a batch of this revival fluid as a complimentary gift when they provided Yuga with the Fossil Revival Device.

While this batch was given for free, should Yuga wish to continue using it in the future, he'd have to purchase it from Devon Corporation, and it wasn't cheap. The production cost of the revival fluid for a single Pokémon revival exceeded 100,000, making it even more expensive when requested by external parties.

The first fossil Yuga placed in the device was a Claw Fossil, which meant that the revived Pokémon would be an ancient Anorith.

Yuga had never encountered this type of Pokémon, and unresurrected fossils were challenging to decipher even for his keen eye, so he was filled with anticipation for what would emerge from the Fossil Revival Device.

After the device had been running for two hours, the chamber door made a slow hissing sound as it opened. Inside, both the Claw Fossil and the revival fluid had disappeared, leaving behind a tiny bug-like Pokémon.

This Pokémon was roughly the size of an adult's forearm, covered in a green-brown exoskeleton. It had feather-like appendages on both sides of its body and large, round eyes.

The children watched in awe, holding their breath as they observed the newly resurrected Anorith. They were afraid of startling it.

However, this freshly revived Anorith appeared to be very timid and fearful in the presence of unfamiliar beings and surroundings. It took a few cautious steps back and swiftly scuttled up the wall, displaying remarkable agility.

Yuga was about to approach and observe this Anorith, but it immediately issued a sharp, warning cry, making it clear that he should stay away. The ear-piercing noise seemed capable of shattering eardrums.

From this sound, Yuga could discern the Anorith's confusion, fear, and wariness.

Concerned that the Anorith might flee if they didn't act swiftly, Yuga decided to capture it. He would address the soothing aspect once the Pokémon was safely in their possession.

Seeing the Anorith on the wall, which was now making hostile sounds to keep them away, Yuga released his Snover.

After over half a year of training, while Snover hadn't evolved into its final form, its strength had improved significantly. Dealing with a newly resurrected Anorith should pose no problem.

"Snover, use Icy Wind!"

The newly revived Anorith was a Water-type Pokémon, but it lived in the warm climate of Hoenn, making it highly susceptible to the cold. The Ice-type move would be effective in limiting its movements.

A chilling breeze, under Snover's control, was directed toward the Anorith on the wall.

However, this small Anorith was exceptionally swift. It flitted and leaped to the ceiling in a fraction of a second, then transformed into a projectile and dove towards Snover.

Despite its small size and young age, this Anorith was indeed an ancient Pokémon, and even in its frightened state, it exhibited no hesitation in attacking. The collision between its Metal Claw and Snover's Wood Hammer created a resounding impact.

Bam!

Snover managed to block the Anorith's assault with its Wood Hammer in the nick of time. The clash of Metal Claw and Wood Hammer created a tremendous noise.

The Anorith, despite its determination, couldn't match Snover's strength. With a strike from Snover's Wood Hammer, it was sent flying and crashed into the wall behind it, eventually losing consciousness.

...

Anorith

Type: Rock/Bug

Ability: Battle Armor

Gender: Male

Potential: Yellow

Level: 22

Moves: Scratch, Harden, Fury Cutter, Metal Claw, Water Gun

This particular Anorith had average potential, but fossil Pokémon were inherently valuable. Not everyone could gather a collection of fossilized Pokémon.

Fossil Pokémon possessed both breeding and research value.

According to the people from Devon Corporation who helped install the device, the strength of a revived Pokémon would correspondingly decrease based on the condition of the fossil. In other words, any revived Pokémon couldn't maintain its full power compared to its state before fossilization.

While Snover and Anorith battled, the children had long since retreated outside the room, waiting for Yuga to capture Anorith in a Poké Ball before reentering.

Subsequently, under the children's enthusiastic gaze, Yuga revived a Lileep, a Shieldon, and an Omanyte. These three Pokémon were comparatively less aggressive than the Anorith.

Of course, that was a relative assessment.

Reviving fossil Pokémon was time-consuming. By the time these three Pokémon were revived, it had become entirely dark outside. Yuga had more fossils to revive, but he decided to continue another day since the remaining revival fluid was limited.
