Raya didn't recognize Porygon-Z, but the less she knew about it, the more it proved how rare this Pokémon was.
It was like an old dentist of several decades encountering a patient with a set of teeth he'd never seen before—wouldn't he call all his students to observe and learn?
"What kind of Pokémon is this?" Raya asked, looking at Porygon-Z.
"Porygon-Z," Helen said. "It's the final evolution of Porygon. Its first evolution is Porygon2, and its second evolution is Porygon-Z."
Porygon?
Raya's face showed surprise. Although she didn't know Porygon-Z, she had heard of Porygon.
Porygon was the world's first artificially created Pokémon.
Its main characteristic was that its body was made of programming code, capable of transforming into digital data and entering cyberspace. Therefore, it had the ability to move freely in cyberspace, making Porygon the most suitable Pokémon for hacking.
However, three years ago, with the accidental death of that foreign scientist, Porygon completely disappeared. She never expected to see Porygon again today, and even its second evolutionary form, Porygon-Z.
Then Helen's true identity was almost certainly revealed. She should be Sylvia Granger, the only daughter of the famous Pokémon Doctor, Science Granger, the creator of Porygon, and the only missing person from the assassination three years ago.
Sylvia Granger.
Raya looked at Helen and said, "You must be Sylvia, right?"
Upon hearing Raya reveal her true identity, Sylvia nodded. From the moment Porygon-Z was exposed, she knew her true identity could not be hidden.
"Yes," Sylvia nodded, admitting her true identity. "My full name is Sylvia Granger. My father is Science."
"How did you end up here?" Jacob asked her.
He remembered that ever since Sylvia disappeared, there had been no news of her online, and many people thought she had died.
Jacob hadn't expected to meet her here.
"It's a long story," Sylvia sighed, then shifted her gaze to Jacob, her eyes filled with memories of the past. She took a deep breath and slowly recounted her experience.
"This story starts five years ago."
"My father, Science, became famous five years ago when he created the artificial Pokémon Porygon. He was the first scientist in the world to artificially create a Pokémon." When she spoke of her father, Sylvia's eyes were filled with pride.
"While this brought him great fame, it also brought him many troubles. Many laboratories invited my father to participate in new experiments, but he refused them all for the sake of Porygon and his own new research. Because of this, my father offended many people and even received death threats."
"For safety, my father also hired two bodyguards. But one night three years ago, a man forcibly broke into my home."
"He wore a golden Yamask mask on his face, just like these people today, but the mask had the number 4 carved on it."
"He was very strong. My parents, my brother, and the bodyguards hired by my father's laboratory were no match for him."
"In just a few minutes, he killed everyone. They didn't even have time to call for help before they all died in the house."
"I was at a friend's birthday party at the time, which is why I escaped."
"After killing my parents, that mysterious man wanted to take Porygon and all of my father's experimental data."
"However, that person didn't understand Porygon. He didn't know that Porygon had the ability to enter the digital world."
"Porygon downloaded and stored all of my father's experimental data, then destroyed all the computers and files in the house, entered the digital world, and through the network, arrived at my side one step ahead."
"That mysterious person also discovered all this and immediately wanted to pursue me, but Porygon had already told me what happened at home and hacked the nearby surveillance cameras. With its help, I fortunately escaped the pursuit."
"Ever since then, I've been living in exile."
"During that time, I also called the media and the Pokémon Association to report it, but as soon as I made a call, that mysterious person would immediately know my location and come to pursue me."
"If Porygon hadn't helped me modify my virtual location, I would have died long ago."
Speaking of her experiences over the past few years, Sylvia was a little downcast. Clearly, her three years of fugitive life hadn't been easy.
After listening to Sylvia's account, Jacob also felt some emotion. This was the importance of strength.
If he didn't have the strength to protect himself, he estimated his fate would be the same as Science's—either captured for experiments or already dead beyond recovery.
Jacob stroked his chin, pondering. If what Sylvia said was true, then she could definitely become his ally.
They both had the same enemies: Gods Coffin. The enemies of his enemies were his friends.
However, before that, he needed to observe for a while before making a decision. Jacob looked at Sylvia and said, "Sylvia, please continue. What happened after that?"
"After that, because I was short on money and by chance found a Gimmighoul coin, I wanted to participate in this gamble to earn some money, find a place to live anonymously, and at the same time complete my father's experiments before he died." Sylvia's face showed a determined expression. "And then avenge my father."
Although she knew the chances of revenge were slim, she wouldn't give up even if there was a glimmer of hope. Especially since she saw other people wearing Yamask masks on the surveillance cameras today!
The flame of revenge burned in her heart.
"You should know what happened next. I met you, Dante, in the gambling game and made a small profit. The reason I knew your identity was because I hacked into the system and found your identity information."
"So I can help you. Whoever you want to find, I can help you."
"With Porygon-Z, I can easily control the entire ship's surveillance system. Whatever you want to do, I can help you."
"Do you know the people wearing golden Yamask masks?" Sylvia asked Jacob, with a hint of expectation in her eyes. "I saw you fighting them on the surveillance just now. You are also their enemies, right?"
She had also secretly investigated the people wearing Yamask masks, but ultimately found nothing. She knew that she could never get revenge on her own, but everything that happened today gave her hope, so she didn't hesitate to seize this glimmer of hope!
"We do know them." Jacob frowned, looking at Sylvia, and slowly said, "I can tell you some things you want to know, but everything must wait until this matter is over."
"I need you to help us find five people, and also monitor those people wearing Yamask masks."
"Okay, which five people?" Sylvia nodded without hesitation.
"Their room numbers are..."
