Natsuhiko suddenly realized.
Lance's great ideals and ambitions to change the current system of the Alliance might indeed be closer to Zekrom.
Or maybe...
Next time, try giving him the "Dark Stone"?
Thinking of Lance.
"I have one more thing," Natsuhiko clicked his tongue slightly, his expression somewhat awkward.
[Hmm?]
"Go back once, I forgot to call him."
Reshiram: ....
...
...
"Colress, how many attempts have there been, and still unable to completely control it?"
Dressed in layers of thick clothing, Ghetsis arrived in the lab inside the [Plasma Destroyer].
Seeing Colress, exhaling white clouds from his mouth yet with eyes filled with excitement, his whole body seemingly boiling with blood, Ghetsis couldn't help but frown and ask.
"783 times."
Colress replied without even turning his head.
The [Plasma Destroyer] flew very high.
To say the least, although Kyurem is strong, it cannot fly, which is its biggest shortcoming.
Groudon: Oh ho?
But even so, the cold air permeating from below made the temperature inside the entire ship excessively low.
Colress was probably the only one who could maintain his enthusiasm.
Even Ghetsis felt like giving up.
Hearing the number Colress reported, Ghetsis instantly made a decision.
"Abandon this action, Colress! Kyurem is not so easily controlled," Ghetsis said in a deep voice.
"I understand!"
Colress didn't show the same defeated and unwilling expression as usual when hearing of abandoning the experiment. Instead, he became even more excited.
Holding a pile of experimental data in his hands, he walked excitedly to Ghetsis.
"Lord Ghetsis, look what I discovered?!"
Ghetsis glanced at the data handed over by Colress, his expression twitching.
If he could understand this data, why would he need Colress?
Thud——
The cane tapped on the floor.
"Cough, speak!"
Colress no longer kept him guessing, adjusted his glasses, and his eyes were full of excitement.
"Kyurem! Kyurem's genes are too unique! Its genes continuously change, without a fixed or defined gene! I've never seen such a genetic condition before!"
Ghetsis frowned.
Sometimes he doesn't quite understand the thoughts of these researchers like Colress.
Even if the gene is undefined, so what?
Besides.
The plan of this action was for Colress to attempt to control Kyurem, in order to better control the Black and White Dragons thereafter.
But now, you're investigating Kyurem's genes.
Isn't this getting your priorities reversed?
Colress seemed not to let Ghetsis guess the results on his own and just continued:
"According to legend, the Three Dragons were originally one, so I made a bold assumption and guess, and took action."
As he spoke, he continued to pull out reports.
Excitedly pointing at the final results list on the paper.
"They can fit together! There is a possibility of compatibility between them!"
Compatibility?
Ghetsis was still quite patient, given that Colress was very significant to the Plasma Team, and he also mentioned the Three Dragons just now.
"What do you mean?"
Colress took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing his inner excitement.
"I used the tissues collected from the fingertips of Genesect, extracted Kyurem's gene fragments, and then from the tissues in stock, extracted Reshiram's gene fragments, attempting to fuse the two sets of genes."
Initially, fusing gene fragments of two Pokémon ultimately results only in a destructive outcome.
Unless the main gene acting as the carrier has exceptionally high compatibility, like that of a mythical Pokémon.
"But the gene chain didn't collapse, there is a possibility of fusion! This means that Kyurem and the Twin Dragons indeed share the same origin, and Kyurem can accommodate the power of the Twin Dragons, merging two entities into a single, most powerful one!
This method of enhancement... this enhancement method... is simply unprecedented!"
As he spoke, Colress couldn't suppress his excitement again.
He had spent his entire life researching how to enhance Pokémon.
He had tried all kinds of methods, and even ventured into modifying Pokémon bodies.
But the gene fusion method of Kyurem and Reshiram was something he had never imagined.
It was like someone had opened a door to a new world for him, presented him with a new direction, one with endless possibilities!
Ghetsis didn't quite understand some of Colress's data and hypotheses, but he got the result.
With disbelief, he confirmed:
"You said... Kyurem can fuse with Reshiram or even Zekrom?"
"Yes!"
This...
Ghetsis had always pursued the Twin Dragons, trying to reshape order with their power, to build a new kingdom.
But now someone told him.
The Twin Dragons you seek are not the strongest, and there is a stronger power, and the carrier for it has already been found.
"However..."
Colress's "however" sank the high spirits Ghetsis had just raised.
"What?"
"This kind of genetic fusion is not stable, it can perfectly fit temporarily, yet lacks a critical element, the key to fully and permanently fusing the two sets of genes together, like... like two pieces of wood joined with dovetails missing the wedge that holds them."
"Is there a way to fix it?" Ghetsis asked.
If it's unfixable, this discovery is like having found nothing.
Just like the last pointless statement he made the last time.
