"... Master Ge Jihua, is there anything else to say?" Lu Ye asked reluctantly, squeezing out a voice from between his teeth.
During the video call, Xitron touched his chin and thought for a while, then said:
"She said that there might be a meteorite falling in the Hoenn region, and it is related to the 'Leonids Minor' meteor shower in Liuli City. If a strong champion goes to Hoenn, he can also deal with emergencies."
There is currently no news indicating that Kyogre and Groudon have been revived.
As for the meteorite mentioned by Ms. Ge Jihua, Lu Ye could probably guess that it was related to the stone tablet document sent by Daigo.
Daigo once asked me to help translate the text on the stone tablets. The two stone tablets together read: "The road to the giant stone begins with a door; the key to open the door is two dazzling stones."
This corresponds to the plot of "Pokémon XY: Mega Evolution Special". Daigo used the two key stones of himself and Alan to successfully discover the source of Mega Evolution - the colorful meteorite inside the ruins of the Meteor People.
In "Pokémon: Omega Ruby", there was also a super-giant meteorite from outer space.
That meteorite falling from the sky was a disaster like a 'comet hitting the earth', dangerous enough to destroy the entire world!
Compared with another super-large meteorite, the risk of this colorful meteorite is obviously lower.
Daigo and the Dewen company behind him should be able to handle it properly.
The meteorite predicted by Ge Jihua, the stone tablet mentioned by Daigo... all of these correspond to the colorful meteorite, and no clues of the super-giant meteorite have been found yet.
After listening to Xitron's words and combining them with his own speculations, Teacher Lu felt a little relieved.
From this perspective, the risk of the trip to Hoenn is not that great!
What's more, there are champion-level trainers like Mikoli and Red who can shake people;
Darkrai, the Three Dragons of Sinnoh, and the Three Dragons of Tao are all legendary Pokémon that can be used as fighters.
"According to the original itinerary, we will go to Hoenn to visit Manchong tomorrow, stay for a few days to watch the meteor shower and then come back." Lu Ye thought.
After all, I have already promised Man Chong. If I break the promise based on groundless speculation, I will be unworthy of my teacher.
Besides—could there be two meteorites coming at once!
I'm going to be reckless this time, I'll clear the Hoenn dungeon with one life!
"I understand." Lu Ye smiled at Xitron who was on the video call, "Please tell Ms. Ge Jihua for me—
"I will go to the Hoenn region... And, thank you for her spiritual badge, I will visit her someday!"
Lu Ye emphasized the pronunciation of "thank you" and "pay a visit".
Hearing this, Xitron felt a chill inexplicably on his spine, and he pushed up his round-framed glasses and smiled awkwardly:
"Haha, I'll pass it on!"
I feel like... the gym in Encyclopedia City is very likely to be lost!
"Goodbye, Teacher Lu~" Xiao Youlijia stretched out her hands and waved them in front of the camera, "Have a safe trip!"
"Good luck to you." Lu Ye smiled, said goodbye, and hung up the phone.
Ma Zhishi knocked on the door. He was wearing a military green camouflage uniform, folded his arms, and bared his teeth.
"We will set off tomorrow morning. The Shuiliu is ready!"
"To show my gratitude, I won't train at the Dead Leaf Gym tonight." Lu Ye thanked him.
"Kamei..." Turtle Shell, who had been hiding in the corner, sighed softly.
Can't train tonight
The survival rate has dropped by several percent!
Ma Zhishi's eyelids twitched.
It seems like he had accidentally escaped a catastrophe!
…
Hoenn region, Meteor Falls.
Daigo knelt on one knee, holding a pickaxe and wearing gloves to remove the powder on the mineral.
A sun stone that can evolve Skank into Belleflower. Daigo took it out intact and put it into the collection box with a childlike smile on his face.
"Mr. Daigo is really mining!" Manon whispered in the back.
Ai Lan put his hands in his pockets, revealing a trace of confusion, and said unconfidently: "This may... be a way for the champion to practice."
"Let's go."
Daigo stood up, turned around and said with a smile: "We're almost there!"
"The legendary boulder?" Ai Lan recalled the legend he had heard in Sundial City.
"That's right."
The light cast a shadow on Daigo's profile. His eyes were a mineral-like sky blue as he spoke calmly:
"The legendary source of Mega Evolution, the treasure worshipped by the people of Meteor, the colorful meteorite."
"Wasn't Mega Evolution discovered in Kalos? Why would the source be in the Hoenn region!" Manon interrupted.
"Is that the legend, Mr. Daigo?"
Ailan looked at Daigo and saw him nod slightly. Ailan explained to Manon:
"The giant that dragged the continental plates split Kalos and Hoenn into two in ancient times. Kalos retained the special aura of Mega Evolution, and Hoenn was the landing place of the colorful meteorite. At that time, the colorful meteorite also caused a fight between Groudon and Kyogre, which was finally settled by the 'Dragon God' mentioned by the people of the meteor."
Manon's face was filled with shock. "We are... investigating this kind of powerful ruins?"
"Don't worry." Daigo smiled and said, "Megalodon will protect you."
"Kang Jin!" The white giant golden monster in front turned its head and opened and closed its iron claws, making a metallic clanging sound.
Manon subconsciously shrank behind Ai Lan, and Ai Lan looked straight at him and said:
"The ones who protect the weak are Charizard and I."
"Who is the weak one?" Manon complained angrily, but was ignored by Alan.
Daigo looked at Ailan with a deep gaze, then smiled and turned around and said:
"You'll make an excellent trainer, Alan."
Ai Lan walked with Daigo in silence, and after a while asked, "Why?"
"because… "
A flash of reminiscence flashed across Daigo's eyes.
"A trainer who knows how to protect others will definitely grow into a strong person who can stand on his own."
The former champion who protected the entire Hoenn, Tsuki Daigo, once carried the entire Hoenn forward on his own.
Ai Lan didn't know about these past events, and replied bluntly:
"It's enough for me to protect the people I want to protect. Others are none of my business."
Daigo did not turn around, but looked at the ray of light outside the cave and said with a smile:
"It's not up to you to decide then, Ailan."
The birds sang melodiously, and the light inside the ruins was particularly dazzling as we passed through the dim cave.
Ai Lan covered her mouth with her hand, then looked around and said in shock:
"Inside the ruins... there is actually a building like this!"
The towering stone pillars on all four sides were engraved with ancient patterns, and the moss-covered stone steps led to a circular platform on the upper floor. Vines grew on both sides of the stone steps, and yellow wild flowers swayed in the breeze, creating a desolate and solemn ritual altar.
"This is..." Daigo paused, "This is the altar where the people of Meteor worship the Dragon God and the colorful meteorites!"
Ai Lan's pupils contracted as he looked at the tip of the stone pillar gathering a ray of sunlight, and he felt awe and inexplicable fear for the ancient people.
It was a fear of giants and great power, as if what was enshrined on the altar was not a legendary Pokémon, but an incarnation of disaster.
"Hoenn has been a region prone to floods, droughts, and disasters since ancient times."
Daigo stood in front of the altar, looked up, and said to himself:
"Humans and Pokémon coped together and rebuilt their homes and beliefs countless times. Some chose the earth as a totem, some chose the ocean as a totem, and some... chose the sky."
Daigo turned around, and Ailan suddenly felt a distant admiration for the champion. Seeing the blue-haired man, he smiled and said:
“And here are the remains of the incarnation of the sky, the people of the meteors.”
"Amazing..." Manon had a limited vocabulary and could only repeat stupidly.
"Let's go, Alan."
Daigo slowly walked up the stone steps and said to Ailan behind him:
"According to the stone tablet documents translated by Mr. Lu, we can see the magnificent colors of the colorful meteorite."
Ai Lan nodded silently, and the two of them tacitly chose to climb up the towering central platform on foot.
"What should I do?" Ai Lan asked.
"See the grooves on both sides of the round platform?" Daigo said, "If my guess is correct, when you put the keystone into the groove, the brilliance of the two keystones will intersect, and a new door will open."
"Why are you looking for the legendary colorful meteorite?" Ai Lan suddenly asked.
Indeed, the Hoenn champion in front of him was very abnormal. He was looking for relics left by ancient people for no reason.
If a disaster occurs as a result, Daigo will have an unshirkable responsibility.
Ailan came to this ruins to try his luck in order to become stronger;
And Daigo... is it really out of his passion for minerals
Daigo's blue hair swayed in the wind. He looked up at the cloudless blue sky and said calmly:
"It's a meteor shower predicted by the Green Ridge City Astronomy Center."
"Meteor shower?"
"I haven't told anyone else about this, not even Mikoli."
Daigo's eyes were deep and unusually cold. He looked at Ai Lan and described the immeasurable disaster.
"According to the prediction of the Green Ridge Space Center, in twenty days, a meteorite of unusual size will fall over Green Ridge City in the Hoenn region. It is large enough to destroy the entire Hoenn region.
"And the people of Meteor predicted this disaster a thousand years ago... and placed all their chances on the Dragon God and the colorful meteorite!"
"What?"
Ai Lan found that her voice was a little hoarse, "Such nonsense... How is it possible!"
Daigo smiled bitterly. "I have a close relationship with the Green Ridge City Space Center. In order to avoid panic, I tried my best to suppress this matter from the public. But in the near future, I'm afraid..."
"No… "
Daigo's eyes narrowed, "I will resolve this matter before it causes panic!"
"That's a meteorite... And why did you tell me that we've only met for less than three days!" Ai Lan's voice was hoarse.
"You have someone to protect."
Daigo's eyes fell on Manon who was half-squatting on the ground and playing with dogtail grass, and then he looked at Alan who was clenching his fists.
"And behind me is the entire Hoenn."
"You... bastard."
Ailan didn't want Manon to be involved, so she gritted her teeth and glared at Daigo.
"I thought that Daigo, the champion of Hoenn, would be a perfect champion... I didn't expect that he would do something like taking advantage of others!"
"Whatever you say."
Daigo once again smiled that light and carefree smile, but there was a sense of gloom and self-blame hidden in his smile. He extended his hand towards Ai Lan and said:
"I need your help, and the most important keystone in your hand right now... Ai Lan."
It's too late to go back to Dewen Company to get a new key stone... Daigo must convince Ailan for this.
At this moment, he is not the gentle and kind Daigo-san, but a champion who has fought and died in a long battle with Hoenn on his back.
Even though he was accused of being mean and involving Manon and Alain in this incident, Daigo had no choice.
Bang!
Ai Lan shook off Daigo's hand, put her hands in her pockets, turned her back and walked to the other side of the stage, then said:
