Devon Corporation Building.
Da Wu held the report he had just received from Greenfield Space Center, his heart heavy.
According to the observation report from the Greenfield Space Center, they had known about the meteorite issue for quite some time.
No, that wasn't entirely accurate.
More precisely, they knew that a small cluster of meteorites might approach, which was a relatively common occurrence. After all, meteorites fall all over the world every day.
This time, there were more of them, and they were slightly larger, but at most, they would only form a meteor shower.
However, after Da Wu emphasized the matter several times, the observers finally noticed that among the small meteorites, there was a massive one!
It had been obscured by the numerous smaller meteorites, planetary shadows, and the distant, blurry observations, creating a blind spot.
As the cluster of meteorites drew closer and with Da Wu's continued emphasis, the observers confirmed this finding.
After a quick, rough estimation, they determined that the smaller meteorites could be ignored, but the largest one, if it were to land, would completely alter the landscape of an entire region!
A major crisis!
Da Wu didn't blame the observers at Greenfield Space Center.
Observational errors and omissions were common, after all. Humanity's exploration of the universe was still in its infancy. Otherwise, why would people like Da Wu and Solans be running around looking for meteorites?
They could simply wait at the spots where meteorites were expected to fall.
When the cosmic visitor Deoxys appeared, the Hoenn League should have been well-prepared.
The only silver lining was that there was still some time before the massive meteorite arrived.
Greenfield Space Center, being the largest observatory in the Pokémon world, provided Da Wu with the most up-to-date information.
Of course, if Da Wu knew, it meant that Old Master Zufuqi also knew.
Old Master's expression was solemn and complex, a mix of melancholy and a hint of resignation.
"Da Wu, take a look at this."
The old man pulled a secret file from his drawer and placed it on the table.
Da Wu looked puzzled.
But given the old man's expression and the timing of presenting this, he had a feeling.
"Dimensional teleportation device?"
Da Wu was taken aback when he saw the heading of the file.
As he read on, his brows furrowed.
The so-called "dimensional teleportation device" was a device created by Devon using a large amount of "Infinity Energy." By harnessing the vast and unique energy of Infinity Energy, it could open a wormhole.
Clearly, this was one of Devon's secret projects, and even as the young master, Da Wu had only just learned about it.
If this "dimensional teleportation device" were used to load a large amount of Infinity Energy onto a rocket, and the rocket were to open a wormhole in front of the massive meteorite, it would indeed be a viable solution.
However,
If Da Wu didn't know what Infinity Energy was, it might have been different. But now, knowing that Infinity Energy was actually "Life Force", he felt a certain resistance to this so-called Infinity Energy.
Of course,
The Infinity Energy currently used by Devon was not derived from living beings but was a residual byproduct of the "Ultimate Weapon." This was why Da Wu often visited the Castelia region.
But creating the energy needed to open a wormhole with the "dimensional teleportation device", and doing so in a short time, was another matter entirely.
"Father, I disagree."
Da Wu placed the file on the table and stated his answer without hesitation.
Old Master Zufuqi was not surprised by this response. He sighed and said, "Da Wu, I am not any more willing to do this, but..."
Sometimes, sacrifices and decisions must be made.
He sighed again and continued, "This isn't something we can decide, Da Wu. I will inform the League about this plan and the meteorite. The decision will be up to them."
Ultimately, Devon was just a company.
Though it was a super-large corporation that could influence certain decisions made by the League, matters concerning the safety of an entire region were beyond their control.
Da Wu was taken aback.
"The League, huh..."
At that moment, Da Wu felt that perhaps he should compete for the title of Champion.
Knock, knock—
The door to President Zufuqi's office was knocked, and the secretary entered with permission.
"President, this is an anonymous letter we just received."
"An anonymous letter?" The old man looked at the secretary.
He had received countless anonymous letters, but why would one be delivered to him personally?
Unless this letter is a bit special.
"The recipient is Mr. Da Wu, and the sender is Kanaz Pokemon Academy."
The old man suddenly understood.
No wonder.
"An academy?"
Da Wu took the letter, turned it over a couple of times, and confirmed that it was indeed an anonymous letter, with "Kanaz Pokemon Academy" written in the sender's field.
But isn't it summer break now?
And why would someone from the academy need to send him a letter, especially an anonymous one?
With these questions in mind, Da Wu opened the letter and quickly scanned it. His expression immediately changed.
Noticing Da Wu's reaction, the old man frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Da Wu took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and handed the letter to the old man, saying, "Father, I think we need to go to the League together this time."
The old man glanced at the letter and, though calmer than Da Wu, also looked serious.
"Is it credible?"
Da Wu thought about the door and path he and Mikeli had opened, the Iridescent Megalith, and Rayquaza, and the purpose of the monolith. He rubbed his temples and said, "It's probably true."
"Let's go." The old man didn't hesitate, standing up and instructing his secretary, "Prepare the plane for the League."
"Yes, sir!"
The secretary immediately went to make the arrangements. Fortunately, the top of the Devon Corporation building had a helipad.
The letter lay on the table, with only a short line written on it: "Aquatic Gang, Groudon is about to awaken!"
"Really, it never ends."
On the sea.
Jinghe, Male stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the gray, stormy sky with a rather exasperated expression.
The rain had been constant since he left the Castelia region!
It wasn't that he had bad luck, but rather that a massive rain cloud seemed to follow him wherever he went.
He was practically a new "Rain God" or "Dragon King."
A sailor, who was bare-chested and handling waterproof tarps, seemed used to Jinghe, Male's presence and smiled, "Jinghe, Male, this is pretty normal at sea."
"Normal?"
"Yeah. I remember one time, I was trapped in a storm for a whole month. The rain was endless", another sailor added.
"Actually, the Pokemon world has many dangerous seas. The route we're taking is one that countless people have explored to ensure safety. Just encountering rain and not wild Pokemon is already quite fortunate."
Jinghe, Male: "."
He looked up at the thick, gray clouds and opened his mouth.
"Why do I feel like I've been transported to the Grand Line in One Piece?"
"One Piece? Grand Line?" The surrounding sailors were confused.
Jinghe, Male shook his head.
If he had known, he would have taken a plane.
If not for the risk of long-distance travel with a Dratini, he might have even "run away" already.
He had intended to show Snivy the unique beauty of the sea, but all he got was rain.
Water is water, but the difference is quite significant.
"How much farther to Hoenn?"
"Should be soon", the old sailor said with some authority. "Although it's been raining the whole way, we haven't encountered any major trouble, so we're actually moving faster than usual."
What kind of trouble could there be?
The sailors on deck almost instinctively turned their heads toward the nearby sea.
They saw
"Gengar!"
A dark Gengar, Male stood on the head of a Gyarados, gripping its horns with both hands and calling out excitedly.
The Gyarados was cutting through the waves, and if it weren't for its bruised face, it would have looked quite impressive.
"Roar—!!"
On the other side, Forger and Yuki stood on the head of a Sharpedo, also cutting through the waves, chasing after the Gyarados Gengar was riding.
In the water, a terrifying bear-like creature swam in a very standard swimming posture, competing with them.
Of course.
In the sky, a Dratini was flying, and Snivy, with its Vine Whip tightly wrapped around the Dratini's horn, seemed to be acting as the referee.
"Yuki! Yuki!"
Faster! Speed up, come on!
Seeing they were about to catch up with the Gyarados, Yuki kept cheering Sharpedo on.
Sharpedo was suffering, but it didn't say anything.
The sailors watching this scene all had twitching eyes.
With this situation, how could the journey not be safe? What kind of trouble could they possibly encounter?
If they accidentally met wild Pokemon in the Streamliner, it would likely end in
Jinghe, Male couldn't do anything about it.
The little ones needed to burn off their energy.
Otherwise, they might start dismantling the ship.
While the Streamliner had training grounds and battle arenas, even Jinghe, Male and Yuki wouldn't dare take them there for training, let alone battles. They couldn't afford the damage.
So, they had to use these fierce Pokemon to burn off their energy.
Surprisingly, it worked quite well.
Jinghe, Male even felt he was sleeping better at night recently.
"Snivy!" Jinghe, Male called out to the Dratini and Snivy in the sky.
"Who~~"
Dratini folded its wings and descended toward the deck.
"Hisss—Ni—"
Snivy clung tightly to Dratini, its little face tense.
Fortunately, Dratini landed quickly, and Snivy was able to relax slightly.
Seemingly noticing Jinghe, Male's slightly teasing gaze, Snivy immediately lifted its head, adopting an air of nonchalance.
Jinghe, Male just smiled, not pressing the matter further.
After all, the pot shouldn't call the kettle black.
"Cough."
He cleared his throat. "It's time for today's special training."
"Hisss!"
Hearing this, Snivy immediately put aside its earlier arrogance and adopted a serious expression.
Special training!
For Snivy, who had always strived to become stronger, this was incredibly appealing.
And Jinghe, Male was also willing to use this "boring" time to help drain his Pokémon's energy and stamina.
Except for one thing:
Snivy's appetite, which surprised him a bit.
Despite its small size, Snivy had a surprisingly large appetite.
However, Jinghe, Male thought this might be due to the intense training Snivy had been undergoing lately, as well as the continuous rain preventing it from photosynthesizing.
"As long as the sun comes out, everything will be fine", Jinghe, Male reassured himself.
Besides, could it possibly eat more than Yuki?
"Rotom, switch to mower form."
Rotom immediately floated out of the Pokédex and entered the mower that was already prepared.
"Mower form, transform, Rotom!" Rotom exclaimed excitedly, as if piloting a Gundam.
In no time, Rotom transformed into Mower Rotom.
"Watch closely", Jinghe, Male said to Snivy, then waved his hand. "Rotom, Leaf Storm!"
"Rotom!!"
Electric arcs shimmered around Mower Rotom, and a powerful gust of wind, accompanied by razor-sharp blades of grass, erupted from the mower's cutting blade, swirling like a green tornado toward the sea.
Snivy hadn't learned Leaf Storm yet.
This move, which paired perfectly with the "Contrary" ability, was the best fit for Snivy.
But that was okay, as Rotom, in its Mower form, could perform it, providing a perfect demonstration for Snivy.
Snivy watched intently, focusing on every detail of Rotom's Leaf Storm.
"Hisss."
After observing, Snivy nodded and raised its hands with a serious expression. A cluster of glowing leaves and a swirling gust of wind appeared around it.
The wind enveloped the leaves, causing them to dance and spin, like blades in a blender, capable of reducing anything that entered to dust.
However, this state lasted only a brief moment before the leaves lost their power and fell to the ground.
"Hisss!"
Snivy frowned, replaying the steps in its mind to identify where it had gone wrong.
"Don't rush it", Jinghe, Male reassured with a smile.
After all, Leaf Storm was a powerful Grass-type move with a base power of 130, even more potent than Solar Beam or Solar Blade, which required charging. The only drawback, which was turned into a significant advantage by the "Contrary" ability, made it a crucial move for Snivy and its future evolution, Serperior.
So, there was no need to rush. Understanding the fundamentals of the move would ensure it could be used more effectively in the future.
Besides, Rotom itself was only a "halfway" expert, useful for now while Snivy was still learning. Once Snivy mastered the move, Rotom could "retire."
"Take a break and have something to eat." Jinghe, Male pulled out a box of energy bars.
No matter how tough it got, he couldn't neglect his Pokémon, especially during training.
"Hisss."
Snivy's frown deepened, seemingly not fully listening to Jinghe, Male, but nodding absentmindedly.
Seeing this, Jinghe, Male smiled in satisfaction and let out a breath.
Finally, he had managed to capture a Pokémon that seemed relatively "normal."
The talent of Pokémon like Gengue, Male and Nine-Tails, who could learn moves instantly, was something he found terrifying.
While other trainers eagerly awaited their Pokémon learning new moves, Jinghe, Male was genuinely a bit afraid.
It wasn't just about learning the move; it also involved the resources consumed during the learning process, such as the energy provided by energy bars and the materials and items needed for specific moves.
If a Pokémon learned a move quickly, it would need to start learning the next one soon, requiring substantial resources.
And with Snivy:
On one hand, Leaf Storm was indeed a difficult and powerful move to master. On the other hand, it indicated that Snivy's talent in learning moves wasn't as "terrifying" as Gengue, Male and Nine-Tails.
This is great.
Jinghe, Male feels very at ease.
"Rotom, Snivy, take it easy. I'll keep an eye on Gengue, Male."
"Don't worry, Rotom!" Rotom immediately responded.
Heh~
Having a "normal" friend makes Rotom happy too.
"Hiss?"
Snivy didn't hear what Jinghe, Male and Rotom were talking about. It was just frowning, pondering a problem.
They're all leaves, so why can't Leaf Storm be used with Razor Leaf?
"Nani (ω)!"
Rotom scratched its ear.
What did Snivy say?
"I must have heard wrong, Rotom!"
"Hiss."
Snivy continued muttering to itself.
If I combine Leaf Storm with Leaf Blade, would it be easier? After all, Leaf Blade is all about sharpness.
"(ω)!"
Rotom stared blankly at Snivy, mouth agape, as if it had just heard the joke of the century.
"Hiss."
But doesn't Leaf Storm actually go best with tornadoes? Should I try adding Razor Leaf?
"Lo, Rotom! Wait, Rotom!"
Rotom quickly grabbed Snivy.
"Hiss?"
Snivy finally snapped out of it.
Rotom swallowed hard, "Have you already learned Leaf Storm, Rotom?"
"Hiss~" Snivy waved its hand.
Not yet~
But before Rotom could breathe a sigh of relief, Snivy continued:
"Hiss?"
But don't you think Leaf Storm alone is too simple?
"Too, too simple, Rotom?"
A bead of sweat, or perhaps rain, dripped down Rotom's forehead.
Facing Snivy's puzzled gaze, Rotom immediately put on a serious face and declared:
"It is, it is simple! According to calculations, Leaf Storm might be more compatible with Petal Dance, Rotom!"
Petal Dance?
Another move it hasn't learned.
It seems the moves the Grass Pokémon at the breeding house know are still too simple, and there are too few to learn. It's time to go out.
Snivy felt a bit hungry. It extended its Vine Whip and grabbed an energy bar, tossing it into its mouth.
"Hiss."
Let's start with the basics.
"Basics, Rotom?"
If Gengue, Male were here, Rotom would point at the other with a "Zidan" expression and say:
Hey, this guy calls Leaf Storm a basic move.
One day later.
Hoenn, Hoenn League Headquarters.
The large window outside was bathed in bright sunlight, but the faces of the Hoenn League executives gathered around the conference table were clouded with worry.
Zzzz—
