Chapter 298: Returning to Slateport City
It didn’t take Terrance much effort to bring the fossil from the desert, but once he reached a populated area, Altaria could no longer help him carry it.
With Terrance’s strength, he could barely manage to carry such a fossil, but it was extremely exhausting—after ten minutes of walking, his arms were already sore.
Currently, both the Cinnabar Lab and Devon Corporation research teams possess technology that can revive Pokémon fossils, which has sparked a bit of a “fossil craze.”
The differences between ancient and modern Pokémon is a topic worth exploring in various fields. Among the Pokémon fossils, many belong to species that are now extinct, which adds even more value to these fossils.
Terrance remembered that Devon Corporation’s first fossil revival was showcased a year ago. It was a sub-fossil of a Geodude, buried deep underground thousands of years ago due to a disaster.
A sub-fossil refers to a fossil from a relatively more recent time period.
The successful revival of Geodude marked another display of Devon Corporation’s impressive foundation. Since then, Devon has published numerous results, and a common trait among the revived fossils has emerged.
Due to being revived from fossils, the Fossil Pokémon all are part Rock-type. These Pokémon are notoriously difficult to raise, and while a few are extinct species, the majority still have records of existing habitats.
In other words, whether the fossil in Terrance’s possession belonged to an existing species or an extinct ancient Pokémon, if it could be revived, it would likely be a Rock-type.
