"What is...?"
The Team Magma members were all very surprised.
Indeed, they had never seen the Pokémon that had appeared before them. Could it really be some extremely rare Pokémon?
Looking behind it, they saw no human appear either. Then... did that mean it was very likely wild?
Just as the delighted members exchanged glances and prepared to be the first to catch this exceedingly rare Pokémon, their captain went from confusion to thought, then sudden realization upon seeing it, before his expression finally changed!
"Oh no! It's Deoxys!! We're under attack!!!"
As their captain, he naturally knew far more than ordinary members. Although he belonged to the garrison and rarely had opportunities to go out, and had not taken part in the operation to surround Xia You and Deoxys, he had heard people in the team discuss that incident far too many times!
He had even made a point of watching the footage they had brought back. While marveling at Xia You's Pokémon lineup and strength, he had also formed a certain impression of that Deoxys.
In particular, after they had retreated and returned to the base, some had privately speculated that the man named Xia You had most likely caught Deoxys. That had left him with an even deeper impression of this Pokémon.
Now that he saw this Deoxys, although he had not made the connection immediately, after that instant of uncertainty, all his memories of it came flooding back!
"What!?"
Although the other members did not know what Deoxys was, they understood the cry that they were under attack!
They, too, froze in shock for a moment, then their expressions changed as they reached for the Poké Balls at their waists.
It was at that moment that Deoxys attacked.
It did not need to change forms at
