The X Deer refers, of course, to the "God of Life" Xerneas.
While the Y Bird refers to the "God of Destruction" Yveltal.
As for Gundam, it's actually the "Z God," also known as the "God of Order," Zygarde.
They are the legendary "XYZ" gods of the Kalos Region.
Also the strongest three Divine Beasts in the Kalos Region.
Their relationship is somewhat similar to Hoenn Region's Rayquaza, Groudon, and Big Water Fish.
Zygarde possesses the ability to suppress the aura of Xerneas and Yveltal, which is why they are called Aura Pokémon.
Similar to Rayquaza's control over the weather, which can also suppress Groudon and Kyogre.
This is a sheer suppression in terms of capability.
The only difference is that only Yveltal has a destructive consciousness, whereas the opposing Xerneas exists purely for protection.
But one thing is undeniable, only Zygarde, especially in its fully transformed Gundam Zektor form, can stop them.
Now, the Fairy Energy in the Pokemon Realm is increasingly abundant, undeniably related to Xerneas's awakening.
However.
Natsuhiko recalls the legend said these two should avoid appearing together to prevent unnecessary conflicts, right?
Of course, there's a possibility the legend isn't accurate.
After all, over eight hundred years ago.
Xerneas released its Life Energy to nurture the natural environment of the Kalos Region, and upon depleting its energy, fell into a deep sleep.
While Yveltal absorbed a significant amount of that released Life Energy, causing a conflict within its own energy, and also fell into a deep sleep.
Since they slept together.
Could they awaken together?
Tsk.
Then Gundam... no, as the balancing "God of Order" Zygarde hasn't appeared, it's because...
Flare Team has already captured one of Zygarde's cell cores?
"What did you say?"
Blatano vaguely heard Natsuhiko muttering, couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing."
Natsuhiko shook his head, once again looking at the data.
Flare Team, or currently Lysandre Labs, remains a relatively official research institute closely cooperating with the Pokemon Alliance.
The virtual image transmission devices they promote have, to some extent, changed the way people communicate in the Pokemon Realm.
Although not fully launched, many places within the Alliance are already using these virtual image presentation devices.
For instance, during important meetings, high-ranking Alliance members from different regions participate through virtual images.
So.
We can't take action against Lysandre Labs before Flare Team fully emerges.
After all.
Future Kalos Region Champion Karin has an unusual relationship with Lysandre.
Not to mention Lysandre planted Pachira as a future Kalos Region Elite Four member as an insider, deeply penetrating the Kalos Alliance's upper ranks.
Speaking of which.
Only Lysandre and Giovanni have managed to place their subordinates into the high positions of the Alliance Elite Four.
Right.
Giovanni....
Natsuhiko's eyes flickered.
He didn't say anything, just continued telling Blatano:
"This probably isn't caused by any so-called weather changes, geological changes; certain Pokémon's power is the key."
Blatano looked helpless.
"I think the same, but it's very difficult to think of what kind of Pokémon could have such an impact, unless...."
Xerneas and Yveltal have been asleep for over eight hundred years, nearly a thousand in history; human kingdoms have changed countless times, so not thinking of them is quite normal.
"Unless it's Divine Beast."
Natsuhiko squinted his eyes and supplemented Blatano's sentence.
"Do you really think so too, Natsuhiko?" Blatano irritably ran his hands through his messy hair.
"Because I can't think of any other reason causing this scale of impact." Natsuhiko nodded.
"Looks like I need to thoroughly review the historical documents of the Kalos Region."
Blatano had already harbored such suspicions.
With Natsuhiko's "affirmation," he firmed his own conjecture.
"But..." Blatano hesitantly looked at Natsuhiko.
"Hmm?" Natsuhiko noticed his gaze, "Doctor, if you have something to say, just say it."
"It's like this." Blatano slightly adjusted his wording, "Although we all think it's due to Divine Beast's influence, the current situation doesn't allow our guesses to be wrong. My original intention was to take everyone for field investigation to gather data, but I'm actually stretched thin.
It's just right with your arrival, Natsuhiko. Could you lead the research team on-site in my stead?"
His eyes held hope and a tiny bit of pleading.
Natsuhiko isn't from the Kalos Region, nor does he serve in the Kalos Alliance; even his visit to the Kalos Region is carrying his own mission.
Yet it seems perhaps the two matters don't conflict.
It's just he felt a bit awkward about placing the burden on Natsuhiko.
However, Natsuhiko didn't hesitate to say: "No problem."
He came to the Kalos Region partly to help Giovanni have a legitimate reason for "business" trips outside.
