Chapter 32 The Light of the Strange Sphere, the Appearance of the Mysterious Antlered Deer

After a brief introduction to Latias, the next step was to clean up the mess. Mingyou looked into the distance, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

"But what do we do with these Pokémon now? If we leave them alone, they'll definitely attack other wild Pokémon once they wake up."

Looking at the two Shadow Pokémon, he felt a mix of emotions. Team Rocket would definitely not use their own trained Pokémon for experiments; the test subjects were most likely stolen from other places.

However, he didn't know how to purify it, and it wasn't convenient to just take it with him and leave...

"Hmm..."

"Waaah..."

Indeed, these Pokémon are so pitiful; they could feel it from the battle just now.

On the surface, Shadow Pokémon are closed off emotionally, but in reality, they know everything they have experienced, but they are unable to respond and can only watch helplessly. Over time, they will completely become "weapons".

After a moment of contemplation, Mingyou made her decision: she would find the Poké Ball on Cliff and take the two Pokémon with her first.

He couldn't just sit idly by in the face of such a situation; otherwise, he wouldn't have risked everything to fight against Team Rocket to rescue Latias.

"So... um?"

Just as Mingyou was about to make his move, he finally noticed the constant shaking coming from his pocket, so he reached in and took it out.

The strange sphere, which had remained silent until now, was emitting a bright green light, as if something had been awakened!

"What's wrong now?"

Mingyou looked puzzled, while Ponpo and Latias watched curiously from the side. Then, a beam of red light shot out from the strange sphere, accompanied by strange colors, and landed on a small mound not far away.

A grayish-white figure slowly appeared, resembling a frightened deer. Its face was covered with thick white fur like Santa Claus's, and there was a black bead in the middle of the yellow antennae on its head. Its tail was covered with thick, fluffy fur, which looked very warm.

[Deerhorn: A Pokémon with large horns, it came from a faraway place to fulfill its duty of protection, and it will recognize humans who cherish the feelings of Pokémon.]

"what?"

Mingyou glanced at the Strange Ball in his hand, then at the Deer in front of him. Sure enough, there really was a Pokémon. So who caught the Deer with the Strange Ball and then threw it around everywhere?

"Hmm..."

Ponpo stared curiously, and it turned out to be a startled deer with a large beard. Latias was also surprised; this startled deer looked so strange…

After all, wild gibbon deer are almost impossible to find in this era; they only exist in past records.

Because the wild environment was harsh for the frightened deer, in order to survive, they honed their mental strength in one crisis after another, eventually breaking through the genetic limit and evolving into the frightened deer.

It is said that only one wild Strange Antler Deer can be born out of ten thousand Strange Antler Deer. However, nowadays, the environment is too comfortable, and most wild Strange Antler Deer have lost their sense of crisis. Only a few trainers who love extreme sports can breed them.

The horned deer that emerged from the strange sphere glanced at Mingyou, then turned to look at the Electric Demon Beast and the Turtle engulfed in dark flames.

Then it took a step and, under the watchful eyes of Mingyou and the others, walked towards that direction. At the same time, the black beads on its tentacles began to emit an eerie glow, generating and producing spiritual energy...

"Um?"

Mingyou watched curiously, not quite understanding its behavior, but Latias, who could sense emotions, instantly understood what the other was doing.

This stag is using a special kind of spiritual power to unlock the sealed emotions of Shadow Pokémon and help them awaken!

"So this is purification?"

Through telepathy, Mingyou understood Latias's meaning, and it nodded, then belatedly realized, "I could do that too, but I'm too stupid. I didn't think of that before."

Just as my brother said, it really is stupid, otherwise it wouldn't have been caught...

Under the influence of the psychic power of the Fiendish Deer, the dark flames on the Electivire and the Torterra gradually began to dissipate, and the uncomfortable atmosphere finally disappeared, returning to normal.

"Yo yo..."

The stag took a breath, seemingly quite exhausted, then turned to look at Mingyou and the others, indicating that the Pokémon were all alright.

"Thanks, um..."

Naruto held the Strange Ball, wanting to ask about the Deer, but the other looked away, towards the other side, at the remaining Pokémon trapped in the cage.

Although they weren't affected by the explosion, they weren't Latias after all. After being knocked unconscious by Team Rocket, they still haven't woken up.

Realizing this, Mingyou and Pengpeng immediately ran over there and opened all the iron cages.

It contains Eevee, Gible, Pikachu, Torchic, and Kirlia...

There were a total of 8 Pokémon, none of which seemed particularly special, but the fact that they were captured along with Latias suggests that they were experimental subjects chosen by Team Rocket.

"I'm not sure if there are any trainers..."

Mingyou didn't have the foresight to see it, but these Pokémon were unconscious and he definitely couldn't leave them here unattended. However, he couldn't take them all with him in one trip.

Just then, the horned deer walked to the side, slowly squatted down, and gestured that it was okay to ride it away.

"Huh? Is that okay?"

"Yo yo~"

"Waaah~"

Latias also flew over and stopped beside him, indicating that he would also help.

"Then... let's take them all back to the manor!"

Since everyone was willing to help, Mingyou was very grateful. She then went to Cliff's place, found the Poké Balls of Electivire and Torterra, and put the two Pokémon, which had recovered but were still not awake, into her Pokémon.

Then he asked Latias to help hold a few Pokémon, and then he put a few more into his backpack. Luckily, these Pokémon weren't very big...

However, there are still these Team Rocket members to deal with to prevent them from waking up. Latias used his psychic powers to finish them off once more, ensuring that none of these guys will wake up today.

"Waaah~"

"Good job, but there's still no cell phone signal... Let's call the police when we get back. We'll leave now."

Mingyou put down his phone, then picked up Ponpon and rode on the Deer Hound. This was his first time riding a Pokémon, and he found it surprisingly good.

"What do you think?"

He asked Ponpo.

"Mmm~"

Ponpo leaned against him, carrying her own plastic bag, very happy. The big-bearded deer's fur felt so comfortable to the touch, it was amazing.

"..."

The horned deer remained silent. After confirming that they were all ready, it began to sprint down the mountain path at an extremely fast speed. It almost threw Mingyou and the others off, but with its mental power holding them back, there was no danger whatsoever.

Seeing the monstrous deer run away, Latias, not to be outdone, revealed a serious smile and immediately followed in the air, descending the mountain together...

Shortly after they left, a large, yellow bird streaked across the sky, as if it had discovered something, and eventually turned back and landed in Hell Valley.

After landing smoothly on the ground, a cool-looking red-haired man wearing a cape jumped off the Dragonite and walked forward.

This person is none other than Lance, the Johto Regional League Champion, a Flying...Dragon-type Pokémon Master, who has a particular fondness for capes and is known as the Dragon Messenger!

He stopped and glanced solemnly at the scene of the Rockets' humiliation, then froze.

"What happened?"

Lance was stunned. Team Rocket was completely wiped out, even their plane was destroyed. This meant that a very fierce battle must have taken place. But the question is... what happened to the Pokémon that were captured?

He was a little confused. According to the information passed on by his comrades within Team Rocket, Cliff still had two very strong unfinished Shadow Pokémon, and he was told to be careful. But did he really need to be careful?

"Who exactly is it... or is it some other organization lying in wait to intercept them?"

He was puzzled and prepared to make a call to inquire, but found that there was no signal here. Fortunately, he had a separate line with the Interpol police, and he was finally able to contact the person on the other end.

"Hey, it's me... not the Dodo bird! Seriously, who is this Dodo bird anyway?!"

He muttered a curse as he replied, then asked, "Are there any other people involved in this mission? Are you sure there aren't? Hmm... okay then."

Without receiving an answer, A-Du didn't know whether he should be happy or worried.

He then glanced at Cliff, who was buried in a mound of earth not far away, surrounded by some wild gas canisters and the sound of bells, and continued.

"Notify the team closest to Kitakami Township to come and meet us. I have captured the entire elite squad of Team GO Rocket, led by Cliff."
