Chapter 200 Antonyms of Localized Necrosis

"How could this happen?"

On an island off the coast of H17, a group of people stood on the beach, the sound of waves rising and falling in their ears. Before them lay a young man, lying motionless on the sand, his long black hair wet with seawater. One hand was in the pocket of his white lab coat, over which was a flight suit. His eyes were closed, and sunlight shone on his face, but at this moment, his handsome face was devoid of color.

Lillie watched as Miss Joey removed a metal electrode from Wei Xin's chest. It was the one she had attached to him before they set off to ensure his safety, and it was intact.

Wei Xin's heartbeat and pulse had truly stopped, and even the small built-in pacemaker could not save him.

Sylveon, Kirlia, Teebrim, Sprite, and Samurai had red eyes; Mimikyu's cloth cover had eyes rolling around; and Milotic lay low on the beach, silent and still.

A large crowd had gathered on the beach; they were all people who had come as soon as they heard the news about Wei Xin.

Cynthia, Karni, Dr. Kukui, Dr. Mulan, Dr. Blatano, Marie, Lillie, Lana, Mao, and Gladion watched silently as Miss Joy performed first aid and examination on Wei Xin. After exhausting all means, she rose from the beach with a solemn expression.

The moment Miss Joy opened her mouth, everyone suddenly wanted to run away, not daring to look into her eyes, but their feet seemed to be gripped by the sand, and they carried a glimmer of hope in their hearts, longing to hear even a single good news from her mouth.

For example, Wei Xin might have just fallen asleep because he was too tired, or he might have been joking. He secretly learned to hold his breath for an exceptionally long time. Don't be fooled by his seemingly motionless state; he might suddenly jump up, point at everyone's noses, and laugh, "Haha, you've all been fooled! Watch me pull this stunt on you!"

But all they heard was Miss Joey's uncontrollable sighs.

"I'm sorry, your friend, Mr. Wei Xin, died suddenly due to exhaustion of physical and mental strength."

From the East to Hoenn, they fought off attacks, piloting Lugia and Rayquaza, continuously battling Groudon, Kyogre, and Deoxys. Rayquaza even Mega Evolved twice during the battle. Not to mention humans, even Pokémon might not be able to withstand that.

The devastating news struck everyone like a thunderbolt, shattering all their fantasies, hopes, and the taut nerves in their minds, leaving no room for repair.

The next second, a beaked cry was heard; it was Kirlia and the others.

Kirlia clutched Nurse Joy's uniform tightly, tears welling in her eyes, pleading with her to think of another way. There were still a ton of options to try; surely there would be a way to save the trainer.

Right.

All that answered her was Miss Joy's helpless sigh. When Wei Xin was brought ashore by Rayquaza, his vital signs had already stopped, and the golden opportunity for rescue had long been missed.

Tibrimon leaped onto Wei Xin, releasing a healing wave. The pink glow shone on Wei Xin, but had no effect whatsoever. Tan Xiaoshi knelt beside Wei Xin, wiping away his tears. He had clearly decided never to cry again, but the tears still wouldn't stop falling. The Flowery Sea Lion stood by, hesitant to speak, wanting to comfort him, but unsure how to begin.

Mimikyu, like a deflated balloon, flattened into a puddle and, along with Millerton who had shut down the system, remained motionless.

On the beach, Lugia pondered how to deliver this sad news to little Lugia.

Once you've seen the ocean, other waters seem insignificant; once you've seen the clouds of Wushan, other clouds seem pale. Rayquaza lowered its head, gazing at Wei Xin on the ground, pondering where it could find such an excellent contractor. Zygarde turned its head away unwillingly, looking into the distance where there were still Rak's Elemental buffs to be cleared. Sylveon walked absentmindedly to Wei Xin's side, its tentacles wrapping around Wei Xin's hand and gently placing it on its head.

After letting go, his cold hands fell limply to the sand. After repeating this futilely several times, Hao Tao could no longer hold back and burst into tears. His heart-wrenching cries seemed to be blaming everyone present.

Why can he save all of you, but you can't save him?

Although she knew it was just futile anger, and that saving Hoenn was the trainer's choice, and she shouldn't take it out on anyone, she just couldn't control herself. Her heart was with the trainer, and now she couldn't feel the trainer's heartbeat anymore.

It hurts, it hurts so much.

"Grandma Mulan, this—it was just a nightmare, right?" Mary stood there, her voice trembling. "Once we go back and get some sleep, we'll wake up tomorrow and see Weixin all healthy and energetic, right?"

"Yes, it was just a dream." Dr. Mulan slammed her cane on the sand, hugged Mary's head tightly, buried her nose in her hair, kissed her, and then covered Mary's face, feeling the tears slip through her fingers. Only the sadness remained, unforgettable.

"Cynthia, you..." Karni was about to say something to comfort her, but subconsciously pinched her mouth shut, worried that her clumsy mouth might say something inappropriate. But she saw Cynthia purse her lips, swallow, raise her hand, wipe her eyes and nose with her thumb, cross her arms, and look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

"Brother, there must be Pokémon in this world that can revive people, right? The Aether Foundation must be looking for one, right?" Lillie couldn't accept this fact, and her vision went black for a moment. She almost collapsed. Gladion was about to reach out to support her, but he saw that Lillie had already buried her face in Lana's arms, so he withdrew his hand that had nowhere to go.

"I think it's probably not," Gladio said helplessly. "Even if it were, we might not be able to find it."

Lillie's eyes were red as she glanced sideways, her gaze lingering on Wei Xin's body. Recalling the promise they made before setting off, her sadness was tinged with a hint of resentment.

"fraud."

Everyone present took off their hats, placed them in front of their chests, and amidst the sighs and sobs, bowed their heads and closed their eyes.

Because Wei Xin arrived in time with Lugia and the others, he delivered Groudon to the H17 sea area, ensuring the safety of four cities along the way.

Some people knelt down, repenting for their sins. If time could turn back, if life could be relived, they would be willing to exchange their lives for it.

But there are no "what ifs" in this world.

After an unknown amount of time, as everyone's emotions gradually subsided and their grief became overwhelming, Sylveon, her voice hoarse from crying, sobbed against Wei Xin. Finally, the Hoenn leader spoke up: "Notify the Eastern Alliance and his family. We need to consider how to handle the funeral arrangements for the Hoenn hero."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dr. Blatano remembered seeing Wei Xin's personal information earlier and stared at the pale, young, and even somewhat immature face on the ground.

It seems he has no other family members.

"Lian!" As soon as someone moved and stepped out, Kirlian rushed to Wei Xin's side, stopped, spread her arms, and glared at everyone present with a fierce look in her eyes. She was on guard and would not allow anyone to touch her trainer until she found a way to save him.

She will find a way, she definitely will.

She turned to look at Wei Xin, but ultimately choked up and fell silent.

She had no way to solve the problem.

She could only drag her heavy steps to Wei Xin's side, kneel down, her knees sinking into the sand, take out her hands from her pockets, cup them in her hands, gently spread them apart, and press them against her cheeks, gently rubbing them.

There was a rustling sound in her ear, and something rough brushed against her face. Kirulian blinked, took Wei Xin's hand in hers, and found a piece of paper in her palm with densely written words on it.

However, Kirlia is illiterate, so it had to be handed over to Dr. Kukui.

"This is... Wei Xin's suicide note?" Dr. Kukui unfolded the paper filled with writing, his pupils trembling slightly.

Ladies and gentlemen, please do not be saddened by my departure. He actually foresaw his own death, yet he still chose to step forward.

"Dr. Kukui, look at the back. There are words on the back too."

Dr. Kukui turned the page over, saw the words written on it, and gaped in surprise, speechless for a moment.

"What is that?" Lillie asked.

"It's a plan, or rather a scheme, maybe—" Kukui said excitedly, "Wei Xin, there might be hope."

Just then, Tibrim heard a bell ringing in her ear, coming from her hair.

She reached into her hair and took out an old bell that was inside. At that moment, the bell trembled slightly and even emitted a faint light.
