"Father!" Daigo said, "It's not the last moment yet. There's still time for everything!"
"Just like Ruby, Safia, Mikoli, and Mr. Lu, they are all trainers who can create miracles!"
President Zifuchi's eyes gleamed with a glimmer: "You mean... someone among them can get Rayquaza's approval?"
"I can't guarantee it, but I will believe them in the name of Zifuchi Daigo!"
President Zifuchi fell silent, and then said: "Living energy does not really require live experiments on Pokémon... Based on the improvement of AZ's ultimate weapon, the use of super energy, that is, the energy of the colorful meteorite, can also be converted into '∞ energy'... This may be used as an alternative method."
"I will obtain that colorful meteorite. Because it is also the token that allows Rayquaza to mega evolve."
Daigo stretched out a hand and looked directly at his elderly father, his eyes gleaming.
"Father... it's been a pleasure working with you."
President Zfuchi was stunned for a moment, and said to himself:
"You were only five years old... That was the first time I took you to the field to investigate ores and gave you an iron dumbbell. Then you fell madly in love with ores."
President Zifuchi gestured his height and smiled with emotion:
"When I came to my senses, I realized you were already this tall..."
immediately.
Zifuchi Hibiscus squeezed Daigo's hand tightly.
Like a retired captain holding the hand of his trusted first mate, like looking back at the towering tree that he has planted.
…
Hoenn Alliance, emergency wartime meeting.
Bang!
Mikoli leaned forward and slammed his hands on the conference table, causing the tea in the cup to slosh.
"Leaving the victims along the way unattended, and letting Kyogre and Groudon go forward?"
The chairman of Hoenn put his hands together and said cautiously:
"You misunderstood me, Mikoli. We cannot rush to provide rescue efforts before the risks are clear. We will guide the victims along the way to evacuate and encourage them to save themselves. Local alliance members will also rush to the front line as soon as possible."
Another researcher took over and said, "Based on the energy reaction, this revival event is far greater than the previous revivals in history. We have evidence to believe that this is the original return of Kyogre and Groudon!"
"Primal return?"
"Yes. It is a phenomenon unique to super ancient Pokémon. When the environment changes drastically or the energy exceeds the limit, they will return to their original form."
The researcher paused: "And, get even more powerful like before!"
Fujiki, the owner of the Fighting Town Fighting Gym, crossed his arms and said exaggeratedly, "Wow... These two big guys are already tough enough, how can they get even stronger?"
Du Juan, the owner of the Rock Gym in Kanaz City, said seriously with twin ponytails, "The reason why Kyogre and Groudon of Hoenn bring greater disasters to mankind than the legendary beasts of other alliances is that they symbolize 'nature'."
"Nature has endowed Kyogre and Groudon with even greater power. The most terrifying thing is not the two beasts, but the floods and droughts behind them!"
"It was due to natural disasters."
Naqi, the owner of the Yinyu City Flying Hall, nodded and said, "I agree with the chairman's suggestion that we should not rush to rescue. But!"
"This will not prevent trainers from rushing to the front line and providing necessary assistance to the people affected!" Nachi looked serious, "Before the power of Hoenn arrives, the trainers will become the first team. And those who stand in front of Groudon and Kyogre and buy time for evacuation—"
Naqi glanced at all the gym leaders of Hoenn who were in the meeting; they all had solemn and determined looks in their eyes.
"Well, let me interject a few words."
Yasha, the gym leader of Fuyan Town, scratched her red hair and asked, "How did you know that Groudon was going to wake up? My home is at the foot of Groudon's mountain, and I didn't know about it before I came to the meeting..."
Everyone looked at each other, and the researcher explained:
"According to the energy wave frequency prediction, there is still 24 hours before Kyogre and Groudon are very likely to revive in the underwater cave near Shuijing City and Chimney Mountain near Kamuen Town."
"Ah!" Yasha's face changed.
"Don't worry. Junsha and Joey from these two towns organized the evacuation of personnel immediately, which can avoid casualties to the greatest extent possible."
Chairman Fengyuan clasped his hands together and said in a deep voice: "I hope that the victims along the way can be evacuated as soon as possible."
"That..." Tiexuan raised his hand and said, "A giant city called 'New Zijin' has been built under Zijin City. It has complete electricity and supplies. With the help of the underwater tunnel, it can serve as a temporary shelter for citizens along the way."
"That's great, old man!" Qianli's eyes lit up and he patted Tiexuan on the back, "It turns out that the new Zijin has really been cultivated!"
“Hehe…” Old man Tiexuan scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, muttering to himself.
Originally I just wanted to build an underground amusement park for kids to play in...
The King of Machinery and I tinkered with it and built it into a giant shelter!
The topic returns to the ultimate question -
Who will stop Groudon and Kyogre and buy some time
"What we need to do is just delay the process and buy time for evacuation, rather than defeating them."
Chairman Fengyuan smiled bitterly: "Of course, I also know that this task is difficult... It may even be..."
"I."
Mikoli and Naqi spoke at the same time.
Then, the two looked at each other in surprise.
Mikoli smiled slightly, but Naqi ignored it calmly.
The other museum owners looked at each other and nodded in unison.
According to the location of the gym, the gym leaders are divided into two groups, led by Mikoli and Nagi respectively, to stop Kyogre and Groudon.
The researcher pointed to the map of Hoenn and said:
"Grawo... No, Proto-Grawo, it is very likely that it awakened from Chimney Mountain and then headed south to the H17 sea area of Kanaz City."
Snap! The marker moves on the map.
"And Kyogre will awaken from the underwater cave in Aquamarine City, head west, and then meet Groudon in the H17 sea area."
"We must be cautious in dealing with the impacts of forest fires and floods."
"According to Kyogre's movement route, the first three cities to bear the brunt are Shuijing City, Inyu City, and Kaina City. They will all be swallowed up by the flood."
"And Kanaz City will be surrounded by high temperatures... The fire will not stop until it reaches the sea..."
There was silence everywhere, and no one spoke out of awe for nature.
"all in all."
Chairman Hoenn took a deep breath, looked around at the gym leaders and champions present, and said in a deep voice:
"Hope everyone returns safely!"
…
The helicopter parking area on the top floor of Devon Building.
"Mr. Daigo!"
Ailan jumped off Charizard, put it back into the Poké Ball, and ran towards Daigo who was about to board the helicopter: "What happened!"
"Ailan." Daigo had a calm smile on his face, his eyes deep. "I have detected the resurrection of Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, and the appearance of the colorful meteorite. I have to rush to the H17 area immediately."
"Graw-O and Kyogre are resurrected?!"
Ai Lan's pupils contracted, and he said in a trembling voice: "What about the citizens along the way?"
“It’s not a complete evacuation yet.”
Daigo's eyes were rarely filled with gloom, his blue hair fluttering in the airflow of the helicopter propeller, and he raised his eyes and said:
"But... I believe that Mikoli and the others will buy precious evacuation time!"
When the crowd retreated, Kyogre and Groudon fought over the colorful meteorite in the sea...
Daigo's eyes flickered.
There is only this one chance to obtain the colorful meteorite and then deal with the super-giant meteorite!
"I'll go with you!" said Ai Lan.
Daigo was slightly stunned, then smiled: "Then you must be mentally prepared!"
At this time, a tropical dragon flew from the sky. Ruby and Safia caught up with Alan who had gone ahead and arrived at the top floor of Devon Building.
"Ruby, Safia."
Daigo looked at the boy with the headband and said seriously, "I need you to go to the Sky Pillar in Hoenn and accept Rayquaza's test!"
"Ah? So sudden!" said Safiya.
"No, the previous special training was just to prepare for today."
Daigo smiled slightly, looked at the extremely serious Ruby, and whispered, "Please... Ruby."
Ruby was slightly stunned.
immediately.
Ruby adjusted her hairband, revealing the hideous scar on her forehead, and grinned:
“Leave it to me!”
As a storm is approaching, Ruby and Safia ride on a tropical dragon to the Sky Pillar.
Daigo stood on the roof, looking at the sky, enjoying the last bit of tranquility before the war.
Ailan had just thrown the unyielding Manon into the attic downstairs, locked it tightly, and returned to the rooftop.
"Aren't you going to take her with you?" Daigo asked.
"She will only be a burden." Ai Lan said coldly.
"Perhaps this is Ai Lan's unique gentleness."
Ai Lan was slightly stunned.
Daigo smiled calmly, as if he saw through everything, and raised his head and closed his eyes.
"You're actually scared?" Ai Lan was shocked and looked at Daigo's clenched hands.
"Is it not possible?" Daigo's voice remained calm.
“… To be honest, I’m scared too.”
Ai Lan looked down at the super bracelet on her arm, slowly clenched her fist, and whispered:
"But I have something I must protect..."
Suddenly, Ai Lan recalled what Daigo had said to her three days ago.
By then... I might not be able to control myself!
Ailan looked at Daigo again and saw that he had adjusted his breathing and revealed an elegant, perfect, and powerful smile like a nobleman.
"It is because you understand fear that you can survive," Daigo said.
Under Ai Lan's dazed gaze, Daigo smiled and said:
"Let's go... It's time to go..."
Drop by drop—
The interfered navigator's communication line was restored after a short while, and Daigo was slightly startled when he saw the incoming call.
"Teacher Lu!"
Daigo answered the call, his voice unusually anxious and with a hint of joy.
"You are in the Hoenn region? I have something important to discuss with you!"
Lu Ye stood at the door of Devon Building, holding the phone and looking up at the towering building. A helicopter had just broken through the inky rain clouds and landed on the top floor of the building.
Lu Ye: "... I'm downstairs from your house."
Daigo:
…
A drizzle began to fall from the sky, splashing a hazy mist on the ground.
