I feel like I've been set up!

Chapter 351 I feel like I've been set up!

Of course we must save the Thunder God.

How can we save them?

"Locate this Borg's lab and tell us where it is." Just as Zeki was saying this to Porygon Type B, who controlled the entire Dark Pokémon Research Laboratory.

In the surveillance footage, Borg suddenly let out a sinister laugh: "Hahaha, good, Raikou's heart is gradually cooling down, so I need to go a step further and give it wings. Hmm, Raikou is known as the Legendary Thunder Pokémon outside of Orei."

'

"Polygon, bring that stone and add a dose of 'Thunder'!"

Borg gave an instruction in the direction of the camera.

It seems that the previously dull-witted Polygon not only controlled the operation of the entire research institute, but was also Borg's assistant in the experiments, responsible for transporting some supplies to him.

"So here's the question: what exactly are these 'stones' and 'lightning' that Borg is talking about?"

Before this question had even arisen, the more intelligent and technologically advanced Multi-Beast Type B, which was superior to the original owner, quickly found the answer. The screen flashed for a moment, and another image appeared before Ze Shu and the others.

That looked like the scene in a room next to Borg's laboratory. In the center, a high platform was piled with many dark stones, which were clearly the Dark Resonance Stones that Ze Shu had seen before—presumably the stones that Borg was talking about.

The room was surrounded by square cages, each containing Pokémon of various types with blank expressions.

One of the Pikachus with a heart-shaped tail is highlighted by Porygon Type B.

"So this is the Ray that Borg was talking about?"

Just as Zeki was puzzled, Porygon Type B thoughtfully retrieved a text that appeared to be about the creation process of a Dark Pokémon and displayed it at the bottom of the screen.

[“Dark Pokémon Formation Process” – When a Pokémon’s heart is gradually closing, a Dark Resonance Stone must be combined with its type advantage to smoothly integrate it into the Pokémon’s body (this process can be completed without the Pokémon’s current form; it is the final safeguard to ensure a complete transformation).]

This time, Ze Shu understood: the Dark Resonance Stone, imbued with Raikou's affinity for Pikachu's lightning, should be smoothly channeled into Raikou's body without Raikou's awareness, thus completely transforming Raikou into a Dark Pokémon.

In other words, the numb Pokémon in this entire room, which is like a grid of cells, are all materials that Borg uses to create Dark Pokémon.

"Hurry up!" Perhaps due to the prolonged silence, Borg on the monitor impatiently urged, repeating, "Porygon, give me a stone, add a boost of lightning! Use that Pikachu! Drain all the electricity from its body!"

"This is the most crucial moment!"

"Hurry up, Polygon!"

He kept urging him on.

Meanwhile, Ze Shu was thinking—his goal was naturally to make Borg's "surgery" less successful.

If the purpose of adding this lightning is to ensure a smooth import of the Dark Resonance Stone, then...

What if we don't add lightning?

What if they even add other things that Lei Gong would find repulsive?

"Then..." Zeju looked at the Pokémon trapped in the cage beside the Dark Resonance Stone, then suddenly pointed to a Gloom that was numb and drooling. This Pokémon, just like its name, emitted a strong stench, especially its drool, which was extremely concentrated. "Cover the Resonance Stone with its drool!"

The moment Ze Shu gave the order, the mechanical arm in the room moved under the control of the Polygon Beast Type B. It picked up a small Dark Resonance Stone, stuck it straight into the stinky flower mouth in the cage, and fiercely dipped the stone into the strong, foul-smelling saliva.

"That's not enough," Ze Shu said again.

He pointed to the stinky slime in the cell next to the stinky flower.

"Add some more mud from its body."

It is said that Muddy exudes the most filthy and foul-smelling toxic sludge, and just one drop can make an entire swimming pool smell incredibly foul, making it unbearable to smell.

The moment Ze Shu finished speaking, the mechanical arm, under the control of the Porygon, suddenly and forcefully kneaded the stone, which was covered in the slobbery saliva, into the body of the Muddy, so that the stone was tightly wrapped in the foul-smelling mud, and the slobbery saliva and mud clashed violently and produced a chemical reaction!

When the Dark Resonance Stone was taken out again, Ze Shu felt nauseous just looking at it.

"That's fine, send it to Borg."

"Sizzle, sizzle..."

'

The long-awaited whirring sound of the robotic arm finally came, and Borg finally relaxed his furrowed brow.

He murmured, "Ah, it seems there's no problem..."

Before he could even see the robotic arm, a foul stench suddenly filled his nostrils. His stomach churned, and Borg nearly vomited on the spot.

"Ugh... What... what's wrong with ugh!"

Borg could smell that it was the scent of Grimer or Gloom from his materials. These were the materials needed to create a Dark Pokémon that liked smells, and he would usually wear a gas mask to block out his sense of smell when using these materials.

But at this moment, because the experimental subject was Lei Gong, and the experiment was planned to be completely free of any stench, he did not wear it.

The smell was so nauseating that I kept vomiting!

But even as he vomited, the robotic arm didn't stop. The stench grew stronger, and Borg saw the filthy Dark Resonance Stones on the arriving robotic arm—stones that weren't what he had instructed!

Borg's eyes widened: "Stop...stop! Polygon! Ugh..."

'

But the robotic arm, or what he calls the "polygon," doesn't listen to him.

The Dark Resonance Stone is forbidden to touch; touching it will at least cause amnesia. Borg could not possibly touch it, and Polygon always completed this step in the experiment.

But now, the multi-faceted beast has malfunctioned.

He could only watch helplessly as the malfunctioning polygonal assistant manipulated the mechanical arm, following the original procedure, to remove the filthy, foul-smelling Dark Resonance Stone...

It was shoved hard into Lei Gong's mouth, whose eyes were almost extinguished!

"How terrifying! Thunder God is unclean!" Even just seeing this through the surveillance footage, Higana felt sorry for Thunder God's miserable state. "Maybe next time Thunder God opens his tiger's mouth and roars, he can knock people unconscious with his stench!"

But having bad breath is better than being turned into a Dark Pokémon. That's a slightly less stigma than Suicune being caught in a net.

The moment the dark resonating stone entered his mouth, Lei Gong's body on the operating table trembled violently. Although he was numb and seemingly unconscious, his neck rolled, his stomach churned, and he reflexively vomited!

"Ugh!!!"

The retching sound seemed to expel the gloom from its eyes. In an instant, Lei Gong's tiger eyes slowly focused, and its fierce eyes glared at the retching Borg, its strong tiger body trying to stand up.

But it stumbled a few times and couldn't get up.

Ultimately, it's due to insufficient physical strength.

Defeated, captured, and drained without receiving any energy replenishment, Raikou was then added to the process of creating Dark Pokémon, leaving it extremely depleted of energy.

"Quick! Porygon! Drain Pikachu's electricity with the Dark Resonance Stone and send it over!" Borg yelled, vomiting. He thought the accident was just a temporary malfunction of Porygon and was trying to correct the experiment.

On the other side...

"Are you lacking strength?" Ze Shu looked at the situation, thought for a moment, and then waved his hand, suddenly taking out several emerald green stones. "Send these to Lei Gong."

He took out Thunder Stones, only a few, but they should be enough to replenish the Thunder God's energy.

"Oh, right. Remember what Borg said: soak these Thunder Stones with the lightning from Pikachu's body and send them to Raikou."

The Multi-Beast Type B remained silent, simply following Ze Shu's instructions.

"Sizzle, sizzle..."

Before long, Borg heard the sound of the mechanical arm rubbing closer and closer. Although it was a bit slower this time, he could hear the humming sound of Pikachu generating electricity in the next room.

Raikou's tiger eyes grew increasingly dangerous and fierce, but upon hearing Pikachu's movements, Borg's heart gradually relaxed, and he calmly watched the mechanical arm approach the passage.

"This time there should be no problems or malfunctions."

But when the robotic arm arrived...

"This stone...?!"

Borg immediately recognized that something was wrong with the stone, and his heart sank to the bottom.

"Why? Why!"

Something's not right, not even 90% right!

He was deeply puzzled, unable to understand what kind of malfunction had occurred in the Porygon!

The Dark Resonance Stone I brought last time was correct, but the material I used to attach it was wrong; this time, the material I used was correct, but the stone itself is wrong! It turned into a Thunder Stone!

Where did he get the Thunder Stone from in his research institute?!

But there was no time to think about that. If the Thunder Stone, which was covered in Pikachu's electricity, reached Raikou's mouth, it would at least restore Raikou's energy, and then his life would be in danger!

With eyes wide with rage, Borg instinctively lunged at the Thunder Stone held by the mechanical arm.

Contact with the Dark Resonance Stone is dangerous, and while contact with this Thunder Stone will paralyze you, it's still within an acceptable range compared to the risk of death. He wanted to knock the Thunder Stone out of the mechanical arm's grasp!

Borg was confident he could do it.

After all, Borg knew perfectly well the intelligence level of his Porygon. While it might not be comparable to Alakazam's intelligence, it was certainly slightly inferior to Slowpoke.

Correspondingly, the control program for this robotic arm is also extremely rigid.

He'll definitely be able to pounce on that clumsy robotic arm!

But then something happened that made Borg's head spin.

Just as he lunged forward and was about to knock Thunder Stone away, the stiff mechanical arm suddenly displayed unparalleled agility, flicking its two fingers upwards and deftly tossing Thunder Stone into the air.

As soon as the Thunder Stone was thrown up, the mechanical arm suddenly moved sideways, as if it were drawing a bow and gathering power.

Immediately afterwards, a loud "smack" echoed as it slapped the lunging Borg hard across the face!

"Ugh... Ah!!"

Borg's head was ringing from the slap, his eyes were wide open, his mind was filled with disbelief, and his whole body was sent flying to the corner of the room.

The next second, Borg saw the Thunder Stone, which had been lifted by the mechanical arm, land precisely near the mouth of the reclining Thunder God. Then, the mechanical arm moved it over and pushed it into the Thunder God's mouth.

A crackling current slowly surged from the Thunder God's body.

Thunder God's low, foul-smelling roar also rang out.

"How...could this be...?"

Borg's eyes widened even more.

How could his dull, polymorphic beast perform such human-like intelligent operations?!

He never understood why all of this happened, or what was going on behind the scenes.

He felt like he'd been set up!

"no...

'

"Escape...I have to escape!"

"Block it! Block it! Even if it kills you, block it!"

The sounds of iron cages colliding and collapsing, experimental objects shattering, Raikou's furious roar mixed with foul breath, and the crackling of electricity, along with the man's panicked screams, echoed for a long time in this dark Pokémon research lab.

Thunder gradually revived and spiraled out of control.

As an unarmed scientist, Borg was naturally unable to escape its foul mouth.

So, in order to escape, he first scrambled to the next room where Dark Resonance Stones were stored, overturned all the Dark Pokémon cages that were being used as consumables, and released them, just to hold off the out-of-control and enraged Raikou for a while.

While these Pokémon were being repeatedly knocked away by Raikou, and Raikou was being delayed, they took advantage of the situation.

He scrambled and crawled further outside again.

"Run! Run out of the lab! We can call for help... Go to headquarters and ask Alina for XD0001!" And cripple that Raikou!

-

He suddenly hated himself for being an "autistic" scientist who disliked having any human in his research institute and was now unable to get help when disaster struck.

But suddenly, he saw someone.

A man was slowly walking towards him.

"Yes!" Borg exclaimed in surprise.

Isn't this guy one of the henchmen from the raiding party who delivered the goods? Trading the lives of these insignificant henchmen for the life of this great scientist is such a bargain!

"You! Get behind me! Block my attack!"

He suddenly spoke in a commanding tone.

But instead of his command, he was met with a kick.

A kick that showed no mercy.

He was kicking her in the stomach.

Bang! !

The excruciating pain in his stomach left Borgben's mind blank, still reeling from the slap he'd received from the robotic arm. He was kicked to the ground, his body curled up in pain, retching violently.

"Oh? You just said that XD0001 is at headquarters? Your Shadow Organization's headquarters?" Ze Shu looked at Borg curled up on the ground. "Thank you for the information."

"You, you..." Borg stared incredulously at Ze Shu, whose eyes were indifferent to him.

How dare he! How dare this lackey of the raiding team! He is the chief scientist of the Shadow faction, the greatest scientist in the Orei region who created the technology of "Dark Pokémon"!

"roar-!!!"

But a loud, foul-smelling roar suddenly erupted behind him, shattering Borg's surprise and leaving only the word "escape" in his mind. His will to survive made him try to get up despite the pain from being kicked in the stomach.

But suddenly, a deafening thunderclap was heard.

Golden lightning crackled through the tunnel through which Borg fled, engulfing his still-unable-to-stand body.

"Aa ...

"Ugh..." His face was bright and dazzling from the electric light. Ze Shu took a step back, looked at the figure struggling in the electric light on the ground, and sighed, "This lightning god really doesn't show any mercy."

But when he looked up again, he met the Thunder God's dangerous and aggressive tiger eyes through the lightning.

Is this thunder god trying to attack me out of ingratitude?

Ze Shu thought to himself.

I was clearly the one who saved you, you rascal!
