Chapter 651 Infinite Story

...

As for the word "infinite", whether it meant unlimited lifespan, unlimited energy, or what, Natsu wasn't sure.

But he was almost certain that what Latios used to trigger the colorful spars must be Infinite Energy.

Energy that comes from Latios himself.

And such a movement shows that the colorful spars and other spars are inseparably linked to Latios.

Natsu was still wondering if the spars was intentionally dropped by Rayquaza.

On second thought, with Rayquaza's arrogant temperament, he shouldn't be doing such a boring thing.

Even Natsu wondered if those colorful spars and spars might have something to do with the meteorite that hit the Pokémon world and brought about Mega Stone.

After all, most of the origins of Mega Evolution in the Pokémon world come from that meteorite, and Rayquaza can also Mega Evolve under the help of that meteorite.

However, this was later rejected by Natsu.

Rayquaza's Mega Evolution actually relies on special organs in its body that store energy in meteorites that Rayquaza instinctively devours in the atmosphere.

When Rayquaza performs a Mega Evolution, the organ acts as Rayquaza's Mega Evolution Stone and resonates with the Key Stone to complete the Mega Evolution.

No expectation.

The spars circled around and finally landed on Latios.

Dragapult, who was next to him, also slowly showed a surprised expression after hearing Natsu say "Infinite Energy".

Why is there a lot of Dragon Type energy in it?

With the continuous output of Latios' Infinite Energy, more and more spars are integrated into colorful spars.

And as the number of fusions increases, the rays of light it emits become more and more dazzling.

I don't know how long it lasted.

After the last spars on the ground merged and disappeared, the light emitted by the colorful spars even illuminated the night in this area.

No one noticed that Ono, who was standing next to Natsu at the moment, tilted her head and blinked her eyes, looking at the dazzling spar in front of Latios a little strangely.

"Os."

Latios stopped, panting.

The rays of light emitted by the spars also converged in an instant, and slowly returned to calm.

Natsu grabbed it.

A surprise flashed through his eyes.

This is heavy.

The thumb-sized one didn't change much on the scale, but its weight seemed to combine the weight of all the spars.

Put it in the palm of his hand and examine it carefully for a moment.

Still don't see a difference.

"Latios." Natsu handed over the spars.

Latios sighed again, understanding what Natsu meant, and took the spars after nodding.

Then he showed a serious look, and folded his wings.

Like a sharp arrow, Larios hit the sky and charged vertically.

Does it work, just take a look at this.

Seeing Latios rushing, Natsu muttered: "This is faster."

Seen..

Latios was barely hindered, breaking through the convection barrier in the blink of an eye and flying to a great height.

And there, flying free, very free.

"Finished."

Natsu and Ono both quietly relaxed.

Even though Natsu didn't know Latios' current height, and whether it was different from the top of the pillar, he would know when the Pokemon recovered.

Latios can break convection barriers. After flying at high altitude, the distance from here to the pillar did not take much time.

This is much more comfortable than hitting it slightly off the ground.

If the height is not up to standard, just collect some ordinary spars, which is not a hassle for Natsu at the moment.

"Os!"

After a circle in the sky, Latios returned excitedly, and the excitement in his eyes had not completely disappeared.

"Oke."

Natsu smiled and stroked Latios' neck.

"Natsu, when are we leaving?" Ono couldn't wait.

"Let's rest first, I have something to do tomorrow, we will leave after we finish." Natsu looked at the deserted valley, which was now pitch black.

"Oke."

Ono responded.

The night was quiet.

The next morning.

There was little light at that time.

Natsu tucked the blanket over Ono's body and looked at Kommo-o when he heard his voice.

Signed him to go away for a while and come back soon.

Kommo-o blinked to show he understood.

He continues to look after Ono and falls asleep.

Kommo-o and Ono were both seriously injured yesterday, so Ono slept soundly and even snored lightly.

And after Natsu left the camp, he walked towards the valley with the Pokémon.

There.

This is where the Hydreigon flew from yesterday, which is the Hydreigon's nest.

If nothing else, there was definitely good stuff in the nest.

Natsu accidentally remembers where Hydreigon came out.

He found it when he got closer.

There is a large cave on the bank of the valley.

As soon as he stood at the mouth of the cave, the stench confirmed his senses almost making him unable to restrain himself.

He immediately propped up Psychic to block the smell, but his face was still blue and white.

Obviously, Hydreigon didn't have a strong smell yesterday, so why did it smell so strong where he lived?

Alakazam raises the spoon to release a "Flash" to light up the cave.

Entered the spacious cave.

The cave where Hydreigon lives, There should be no Wild Pokémon, so Natsu's footsteps are fast.

It didn't take long to get to the deepest part of the cave, a cave with a wide view.

There is a place in the middle that is made entirely of stone like a bird's nest. The stones on it were completely ground and looked very smooth.

Go to Hydreigon's nest.

Natsu saw two pitch black patches with oddly patterned palm sized scales.

No, is the harvest coming?

"'Dragon Scale' of an Elite Dragon-Type Pokémon." Natsu took two dragon scales with a smile.

Under normal circumstances, Dragon Type Pokémon will not take the initiative to shed its dragon scales.

Because any scale that can form a "Dragon Scale" Item must be the Dragon Type Pokémon's Outrage.

Actively Spilling Outrage will cause a lot of damage to them.

But if it comes off naturally, it's different.

This Hydreigon doesn't know how long he has lived here, and releasing two Outrage is normal.

The "Dragon Scale" of Elite Dragon-Type Pokémon is still very valuable.

"This is..."

After picking up the two Dragon Scales, Natsu saw that there were two more slap-sized black objects underneath that looked like spars.

"Kaazzam."

Alakazam gives Natsu the answer.

"Dark Type Pure Crystal?"

Similar to letting Eevee Shirona evolve into Glaceon in Articuno's Mt. Coronet nest.

It was a pure crystal of Dark Type.

Can be used by some Dark Type Pokémon to increase the purity of their energy.

Or even more simply, give it to some master Pokémon item maker to craft a few pairs of "Black Glasses" that increase the incredible power of a Dark Type Pokémon's moves.

This is a good thing.

After wandering around some more, apart from the skeletons everywhere, there were actually some items of little value.

But the main ones were two pieces of "Dragon Scale" and two pieces of "Dark Type Pure Crystal".

The harvest was good, but not as good as Natsu had hoped.

He thought there would be something more valuable hidden in the nest of the Elite Dragon Type Pokémon.

"Let's go."

Alakazam nodded here, the Psychic pack left in a flash.

After Natsu left, a blurry silhouette appeared under the dim shadows in the corner. After the blue eyes glanced at Hydreigon's nest, it turned into a black shadow and disappeared in place. .

...

...

"Very high"

Ono sat on Latios' shoulders, holding his neck tightly with both hands.

With a curious look, without fear.

Natsu stood on Latios' back, looking at the approaching pillar.

Beginning.

Natsu was also worried that Latios, the little one, wouldn't want to carry a human other than Natsu.

But don't expect it.

Latios does not reject Ono at all, even showing closeness, being the second closest human after Natsu.

Even Lance, who also has the  "Dragon Force", doesn't get the same treatment as Ono when he comes into contact with Latios.

Natsu can only understand this because Ono's "Dragon Force" is much stronger than Lance's.

Latios was fast.

Through layers of clouds and mist, a huge pillar soon appeared before their eyes.

This was already the highest height Latios could reach, but compared to the top of the pillar, it was still slightly shorter.

Natsu didn't know how the large gray pillar was formed. It was like a round stick, a relatively thick stick, with some strange patterns engraved on it.

And the top of the pillar, still in those clouds and mist, looked uneven.

"Os–"

Latios shouted happily, and discovered that at the highest point he could reach, there was actually a platform to stand on.

The most important thing is that on this pillar, there seems to be an entrance that leads to the inside of the pillar.

"Does the remaining distance have to be covered?" Natsu thought to himself.

He immediately motioned for Latios to stay there.

Natsu didn't know if it was an illusion.

He always felt that this pillar seemed to be somewhat similar to the tall tower excavated by Groudon's "Precipice Blades" in the Groudon's space he had entered before.

When seen from a distance, he felt that this pillar was very slender.

It was just an illusion when he got closer.

Their existence was too insignificant compared to this pillar.

Seeing the entrance in front of them, the two of them did not hesitate to enter.

"Wow--"

Ono couldn't help but exclaim when she entered.

In fact, there is nothing special inside the pillar. Some are simply spiral stairs that lead directly to the top.

And when looking up from their perspective.

It can be seen that the top of the pillar is open, and there is a majestic starry sky outside, as if going straight into outer space.

That's why Ono couldn't help but exclaim.

Natsu was also a bit surprised.

Although not too surprising.

Rayquaza likes to live in the ozone layer, and beyond that is the vastness of outer space.

Lift your feet and climb the stairs.

The muscles on Natsu's face twitched.

Such a long ladder would kill people, wouldn't it?

But soon he was attracted by some patterns painted on the walls.

Climb the stairs.

Ono's attention was all focused on the starry sky, while Natsu's attention was completely attracted by the murals sprinkled on the inner walls of the pillars.

It seems to be all about Rayquaza.

The first mural is so blurry that it is almost impossible to make out the description.

However, as time goes by, the images on the murals become clearer, and some of the scenes described also display some of what Natsu knows.

Among them.

Thousands of years ago, a meteorite landed in the Pokemon world, causing chaos throughout the Pokemon world. For example, the recovery of Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, the two Pokémon fought fiercely for land and sea.

And Rayquaza appeared, and under the help of meteorites, and mutated organs, Rayquaza was able to Mega Evolution freely.

Etc.

But slowly.

Natsu saw something he didn't understand.

He didn't know when it started, but two silhouettes with unclear engravings appeared beside Rayquaza.

They accompanied Rayquaza for a very long time, and many murals after that more or less have their silhouette.

The further he went, the clearer the shadows of the two figures became.

It's Latios and Latias!

Even though Natsu had some expectations about this, he felt that the reason why he came here definitely had something to do with his Latios, but it was still unexpected when he confirmed it.

Eager to know the outcome, Natsu pressed on.

"Natsu, wait for me."

Ono noticed that Natsu was walking faster, and immediately ran after him. At the same time, because of Natsu's behavior, she noticed the content on the mural.

"Human"

Natsu stopped in front of a mural and stared at the human depicted on it, his heart pounding.

And not one person, but a large number of people.

Apart from them, there are many Pokemon.

It starts with a frenzy of resource harvesting and Pokémon catching in the Rayquaza space.

However.

Rayquaza falls into a deep sleep after previously destroying a giant meteorite that could have a huge impact on the world of Pokémon.

This group of people seemed to have seized this critical time node before they dared to charge here.

But know that if what the mural depicts is true, it was thousands of years ago.

Did humans at that time have the ability to open the space barrier?

After that.

Latios and Latias followed Rayquaza and stood up.

They lead the Pokémon in space to start a counterattack.

However, the strength of this group of humans does not seem to be weak at all, they have strange abilities.

As if they weren't ordinary humans at all, but a group of Psychics? !

Final.

Latios and Latias banish humans at the cost of their own downfall.

At the last moment, as Infinite Pokemon, all their energy exploded from their bodies, turning into spars one after another that scattered throughout the space, making the broken forests, grasslands, streams, mountains and rivers once again come to life.

Most of the spar is consumed, but some remains.

And Latios and Latias, turned into two Pokémon eggs.

As Infinite Pokémon, they do not die.

They have a long life, and death for them is more like a new beginning.

"Pokemon Eggs"

Natsu stared blankly at the two Pokémon eggs on the mural.

Latios beside him also looked at the two Pokémon eggs carved on the wall, a little confused about what to do.

Continue.

There are more murals after that.

However, the Pokemon Latios and Latias eggs appear to be completely still, showing no signs of breaking their shells.

Even if Rayquaza tried to use his own power, he couldn't get him out of his shell.

In despair.

Rayquaza gives Latios' Pokémon Egg to the "Draconid Tribe" who trust him, hoping they have a way to hatch Latios.

"It means." Natsu looked at Latios beside him, taking a deep breath, "Latios, are you the Latios in the painting?"

"Os."

Latios is also complicated.

Since he has no memories of the past, he has been with Natsu since birth and has never left.

Natsu lightly rubbed his head for comfort.

Natsu hugged him, comforting him.

"This is Latios, what about Latias?" Natsu suddenly thought of this.

Continue walking at a brisk pace.

On the other side, Ono was still standing there, looking at the Pokémon eggs on the mural.

In deep thought.

"Ono, come on!"

Ono didn't return to her senses until Natsu's voice came.

"Aduh."

But to Natsu's disappointment.

In subsequent murals, there is no mention of Latias, not even a description of a Pokémon egg.

Natsu was shocked by the contents of the mural again when they didn't know how many steps they had walked, and a new mural that seemed to have just been carved appeared in front of them.

Because the mural depicts what he experienced and encountered after entering a different space from Rayquaza.

Including the first entry into a different space to fight Obstagoon, the encounter with Ono, the battle against Hydreigon, etc.

It seemed like everything after he entered the different space was under someone's gaze.

When he got to the last mural, Natsu shuddered when he saw its contents.

Engraved on top.

This is what they are doing now, entering the pillar and looking at the murals on the pillar wall.

Natsu wore a hat, and Ono wore loose clothing with his hair tied up.

Next to Natsu was Latios.

But what he couldn't understand was that there was a vague silhouette beside Ono.

Confirm after careful identification.

Broadside!

"Hah?"

Ono looked at the content above, looked around, and did not see Latias' shadow.

Natsu's breath missed half a beat.

Looking at Ono who was looking around curiously.

An idea that made him feel absurd appeared in his mind.

This can be combined with what happened to Ono before, the terrifying physique hidden in the thin body, the powerful "Dragon Force", and the "Outrage" anger with Kommo-o, especially her eyes, which are almost always pure and untainted, makes Natsu got to see it the first time.

Are you kidding me?

He didn't wait for her to think further.

ka ka ka—

On the murals.

Suddenly there was movement, and the lines started moving by themselves, and slowly a silhouette appeared behind Natsu and Ono.

Hanging in the air like a ghost.

Following them? !

"Other?" Ono was also surprised.

With the depiction of the mural, it gradually became clearer.

Natsu twitched the corner of his eye.

Somewhat helplessly turned around.

"Darkrai, how long have you been here?"
