Chapter 521 Star Crystalization

The Great Void of Zero.

That is an area deeper than the bottom layer of Zone Zero. It is a large cavity formed by crustal movement two million years ago and has existed to this day.

If the existence of the Zero Void had not been discovered accidentally when the Zone Zero Research Institute was established, the existence of the Zero Void would probably not have been known to the public until today.

At least that's what Orin and Futu thought.

However, neither of them dared to guarantee whether the Area Zero Observation Team, which had also reached the bottom layer 200 years ago, knew this.

After all, the couple firmly believed that the history they saw was not necessarily the real history.

"The Great Void of Zero has stronger Tai Crystal energy than the Zero Zone. Perhaps for this reason, we observed extremely special Tai Crystallization in the Great Void of Zero."

"We named this kind of crystallization 'star crystallization'."

Dr. Olin's voice slowly fell, and Dr. Futu on the side quickly pulled up a picture and showed it to Luo Mu.

It was a sonic dragon flying in a cave filled with brilliant crystals.

However, its appearance is quite strange.

Not only is his entire body in a state of crystallization, but he also wears a pure white crown inlaid with colorful crystals on his head, and the crown is surrounded by the same number of colorful gems.

The angle of the photo is extremely comprehensive, and you can basically see all the details.

Luo Mu's pupils shrank, and he looked directly at the two doctors, "Is this the star crystallization?"

"Yes."

Dr. Olin nodded slightly, took out a laser pen, turned it on, and briefly let the red light stay on the picture.

"After careful examination, we can confirm that there are eighteen colors of gems, and these eighteen colors correspond to the eighteen attributes of Pokémon."

“So we came up with a hypothesis—

If Tai Crystallization is a change in a single attribute, then Star Crystallization is likely to have eighteen attributes, that is, the power of all attributes!"

Dr. Olin and Dr. Fotu's speculation is quite bold. If it were someone else, even with pictures as evidence, they might still have doubts about it.

But Luo Mu won’t.

Although he was surprised and wanted to complain that there was a sonic dragon in the Great Void of Zero, he had seen special crystals before.

The crystallization of the Eruption will be attached to its mask.

Because of this, Luo Mu was very receptive and temporarily classified the relationship between Taicrystalization and Starcrystalization into the relationship between Gigantamax and Ultra Gigantamax.

It can be said that the two have the same origin, but there are differences in some aspects.

Luo Mu talked a lot with the two doctors, and also saw the second strong evidence to prove the existence of star crystallization -

A piece of Tai crystal fragment with colorful starlight, called Star Crystal Fragment by Olin and Futu.

This made him curious about what kind of power Star Crystalization contained. You know, the only Pokémon that can be related to all eighteen attributes, apart from the attribute of artificial Pokémon that switches attributes: Sky, is Arceus, the creator god of the Pokémon world.

Naturally, he accepted the invitation from the two doctors.

The Great Zero Void is located deeper than the area where the prototype time machine is located.

Fortunately, the elevator has been successfully built, so it doesn’t take much effort to go down.

After discussion, the three decided that Dr. Olin would stay in the Zone Zero Research Institute to accompany Papa, while Dr. Futu would take Luo Mu on the elevator to the Great Void of Zero to meet the "Secret Treasure of Zero" Tailebagos, the source of Taijing.

The elevator ran very fast. After descending for a while, there was a "ding dong" sound and the door opened.

A gust of humid air hit his face first. Luo Mu blinked and rubbed his fingertips lightly.

“The air here is very humid.”

Futu nodded slightly and added: "This place is about a thousand meters deep from the ground."

"With this kind of humidity, Mega Swampert might be able to trigger the "Easy Swimming" characteristic even if it's not raining."

Luo Mu took out the Poké Ball and released Swampert.

A flash of light passed by, and the Mega Evolved Swampert waved his arms, using his fins to feel the air around him, and then nodded at Luo Mu.

Its "easy-going" feature can indeed be triggered in this environment.

After all, this characteristic is what is pursued is the humidity brought by rain. Except that the ground is not so smooth, everything is good.

Because the two professors mentioned that there were also wild Pokémon in the Star Crystallization state in the Great Zero Hollow, Luo Mu called out Mega Swampert to act as a bodyguard. At the same time, he could also try to test the opponent's strength through battle after the Star Crystallization Pokémon appeared.

Looking at the area in front of him where even the rocks and terrain had shown varying degrees of crystallization, Luo Mu took a deep breath and set off under the leadership of Futu.

It was very quiet inside the Great Zero Cave, so quiet that only the footsteps of Luo Mu and the others could be heard in this cave of unknown size.

Dr. Futu was in a very peaceful state of mind as he walked along the familiar road.

He and Orin had no idea how many times they had visited this place, but the number of times they had seen Star Crystallized Pokémon was pitifully small, or in other words, they had barely seen any Pokémon in the Great Zero Void.

Therefore, he was still in the mood to chat with Luo Mu and introduce his understanding of the Great Void of Zero.

"The size of the Great Zero Void is still a mystery. The area that Orin and I explored is probably just a drop in the ocean. Those star crystal Pokémon may have come here from a channel we don't know about."

"Maybe even when we reach the area where the "Zero Secret Treasure" is located, we won't encounter one. After all, this is purely a matter of luck."

Futu said with a smile on his face.

But he didn't notice that the Mega Swampert walking in front of him suddenly stopped and bumped into him hard.

Even though Futu exercises regularly, he was almost knocked to the ground by the hard back of Mega Swampert.

And Luo Mu's voice also sounded faintly at this time.

"Is that the Pokémon that has transformed into a star crystal?"

Futu: “!?”

Ignoring the pain in his nose, Futu looked in the direction of Luo Mu's finger, and saw a crystal flower taking root on the rock wall at the bend ahead, the only way they had to take.

On the Crystal Flower, the star crystal crown and eighteen kinds of crystal gems are so conspicuous.

no! ?
Futu, with a head full of question marks, stared in amazement at Luo Mu who was eager to try, and was completely confused.

How come Luo Mu encounters a star crystal Pokémon as soon as he arrives?
Over there, the camouflaged Crystal Flower seemed to realize that they had discovered it, so it stopped disguising itself and spread out its petals to launch the first attack.

The power of the earth!

The crystal flower lit up, and the earthy yellow light mixed with the bright starlight merged into the ground, along the cracked ground mixed with countless gravel, turning into a surging light wave that erupted wildly. "You were the first to do it!"

Luo Mu showed no intention of showing mercy and quickly said:

"Block it!"

Mega Swampert narrowed his eyes, paused his powerful arms in the air for a moment, and then slammed the ground!

Bang!
Under the horrific force, the ground cracked instantly, and several rocks rose up, completely offsetting the power of the earth.

Under Futu's stunned expression, Mega Swampert's pounding of the ground seemed to shake the entire Zero Hollow.

The Crystal Flower didn't seem to have expected that Mega Swampert could block its attack in this way, so it simply blasted out another burst of earth power.

However, in terms of power and scale, it is far inferior to the power of the earth just now.

Luo Mu, who noticed this, showed a thoughtful expression. Instead of commanding the Mega Swampert, he reminded: "Dr. Futu, pay attention to observe and record."

Futu was stunned by the power of Mega Swampert, and then he quickly reacted. He hurriedly opened the portable instrument that was originally used to check the status of the "Zero's Secret Treasure" and began to record data.

The main reason why they have been unable to characterize "star crystallization" is that they do not have detailed data to support it.

And now, the opportunity to obtain data is right in front of him!
After Mega Swampert used his strong body to withstand Crystal Flower's earth power, Luo Mu spoke again.

"turbid current."

In an instant, turbid waves rose up out of nowhere and turned into waves that swept towards the crystal flower.

Leaving aside the previous power of the earth, the best way to test whether the properties of the Crystal Flower Star have changed after crystallization and what its resistance is is to try to attack with its originally restrained properties.

Fortunately, this Crystal Flower is quite powerful and will not be killed in one move. The Mega Swampert, which is not good at precise control of power, just needs to be careful not to cause changes in the terrain.

Faced with Swampert's "muddy current", the Crystal Flower was unable to dodge and was directly swept into the muddy wave and slammed to the ground.

Luo Mu did not let Mega Swampert continue with his combo, but waited for a while.

After a few seconds, the crystal flower slowly floated up again, and deep green light began to gather among the open petals.

"Excellent effect?"

Luo Mu murmured in a low voice.

As a Rock + Poison-type Pokémon, Crystal Flower is indeed twice as strong against Water-attribute moves.

But judging from its reaction, the water-attribute attack did cause quite good damage. Doesn't star crystallization change its properties?

Noticing the deep green light of starlight mixed in the petals of the crystal flower, Luo Mu decided to give it another try.

"Get closer and press harder."

Upon receiving the order, a gleam of light flashed in Mega Swampert's eyes.

In a humid environment, its explosive speed is even comparable to those agile Pokémon that rely on speed to survive. With just a flash of its body, it approached the Crystal Flower, which was not far away from it, with terrifying wind pressure.

At this time, Crystal Flower's "Energy Ball" move also completed its charge.

A ball of dark green light mixed with starlight blasted out. Its power was not only the same as the previous power of the earth, but to Mega Swampert, this energy ball was even more threatening.

After all, it is four times weaker than grass, and the threat of the energy ball is incomparable to the power of the earth.

The Mega Swampert's sturdy arms suddenly glowed metallic, and it wildly hugged the energy ball with its arms.

Then——

work hard!

Along with a roar, dark green smoke exploded, and Mega Swampert actually squeezed the energy ball to pieces with its strength alone!
Even the Crystal Flower was stunned for a second by this scene.

Then, it broke out in even more violent rebellion.

"Meteor Beam" and "Mud Wave" were blasted out one after another, with extraordinary power. Not to mention that Crystal Flower is good at energy attacks. Mega Swampert also offset them with "Arm Hammer" and "Muddy Current" respectively.

At the moment when both sides paused, Luo Mu's voice rang out again.

"One hundred thousand horsepower."

Super Swampert's eyes focused, and he clenched his right fist back. In addition to the ochre-yellow light wrapped around his fist, the orange-red air bags on his back and arms suddenly expanded.

next moment.

It was like the end of a balloon filled with gas was liberated, accompanied by the hissing sound of air brought by the gas exile. Driven by the milky white airflow, the speed and strength of Mega Swampert's punches were almost raised to the peak.

Its movements at this moment seemed to be in slow motion, accompanied by a trail of afterimages, constantly enlarging in front of the crystal flower, and finally suddenly exploding!
boom! ! !
The earth-shattering roar echoed in the Great Hole of Zero, and the star-crystalized crystal light flowers were hammered directly into the rock wall by this huge force and were firmly embedded inside.

Luo Mu dared to guarantee that with this attack, Mega Swampert definitely did not hold back.

It has enormous innate strength, plus the powerful thrust brought by the "Air Bag" module added to its body after Mega Evolution, and the burst of its ground-based physical attack "Hundred Thousand Horsepower", which is theoretically four times more effective than the Rock + Poison-type Crystal Flower.

It can be said with certainty that even if a normal crystal light was given 100,000 lives, it would not be able to sustain it.

but--

Looking at the Crystal Flower that was still trying to free itself from the rock wall and whose star crystal state had not yet been resolved, Luo Mu fell into deep thought.

Star crystallization can actually allow Crystal Flower to withstand the 100,000 horsepower of Mega Swampert?

It's obvious that the damage caused by the turbidity flow is normal.

At this time, Dr. Futu also completed his observation and shouted excitedly: "I understand!"

Luo Mu looked at him with confusion.

And Futu seemed to have fallen into a state of excitement. He stared at the analytical data displayed on the portable instrument in his hand and began his long speech.

"Even in the star crystal state, the attributes of the Crystal Flower are still rock + poison. This can be concluded from the peak data when it releases "Meteor Beam" and "Sludge Wave". "

"The properties of the Crystal Flower itself have not changed. Its resistance is the same as before. This is completely different from the Crystallization."

"But perhaps it's because of the crystallization of its body surface during the star crystallization that it has gained some physical resistance, which is why it can withstand the attack of "Hundred Thousand Horsepower"."

"But with the power of Taijing added to these two moves, the power of the "Power of the Earth" and "Energy Ball" it releases is also extraordinary. I guess Star Crystalization may be able to compensate for the power of all attributes of moves!"

"But considering the difference in power between the two "Power of the Earth", this bonus may be limited in the number of times it can be used."

Futu gave his conclusion in a resounding manner.
