Chapter 595 Plans to Go to the Hoenn Region
"Meteorite Crisis?"
The atmosphere in the office suddenly changed.
The last wisps of steam rose from the seafood platter, but no one had the heart to touch it anymore.
Red Flame Pine put down the bamboo stick in its hand, and Water Goose also put away its previous jealous and competitive attitude. The two of them looked at Daigo at the same time, and there was no longer any joking meaning in their eyes.
"News has come from the Green Ridge Universe Center."
Daigo's relaxed expression vanished, replaced by a serious tone: "A small meteorite is approaching the Hoenn region."
"Although it is not large in size and is not expected to cause widespread direct impact damage, its trajectory is somewhat abnormal and does not resemble that of a natural celestial body."
He paused, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the Crimson Flame Pine and the Water Wutong Tree, before continuing, "According to preliminary analysis, this meteorite contains an extremely high level of energy..."
"An extremely high energy reaction? Could it be a small meteorite?" Crimson Flame Pine frowned, tapping his fingers lightly on the table twice as he habitually did.
As a fellow geologist, he was not entirely ignorant about meteorites.
Normal meteorites should not contain such active energy, but it is not impossible for a small meteorite with a large volume to do so.
Those Pokémon that exist in the form of meteorites by nature are indeed easy to confuse with real celestial bodies.
"No." Daigo shook his head, placed his hands on his knees, and said in a serious tone, "What the Green Ridge Space Center detected was pure superpower energy."
"Of course, rather than calling it a meteorite, it's more accurate to say that a Pokémon disguised itself as a meteorite. Or perhaps, its true form resided inside that meteorite."
"Pure superpower energy?"
The first thing that came to Crimson Pine's mind was Jirachi, a mythical Pokémon that awakens only once every thousand years, and is indeed related to meteorites and psychic powers.
Jirachi's primary attribute is steel, while its secondary attribute is psychic.
If the detectors at the Green Ridge Space Center can distinguish such a pure, single-attribute signal, then the possibility that it is Kirachi is actually quite small.
He pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to the Hoenn Champion opposite him: "Champion Daigo, what do you think?"
"My idea is simple: to test the waters first and see if we can deal with that meteorite."
Daigo shared his thoughts.
After all, it's just a small meteorite, not very big. If we can break it or change its trajectory, the crisis can be averted.
The problem lies in how to deal with it. Ordinary physical methods may not be effective, as meteorites with superpower attributes are likely to have considerable resistance to common attacks.
If a rash move backfires, the consequences could be disastrous.
He paused for a moment, then looked up at the two former "villain leaders" before him, changing the subject: "By the way, how's your search for Groudon and Kyogre going?"
Both the Crimson Flame Pine and the Water Sycamore were stunned.
The two exchanged a quick glance.
Red Flame Pine coughed lightly, picked up the coffee on the table that had long since gone cold, took a sip, and said with a hint of undisguised smugness in his tone, "You've come to the right person. Groudon, my nephew just caught one in the secret realm of Henan Province, a shiny one, a New Generation, the photo is still fresh in my mind."
Water Archie snorted coldly from the side, and added, not to be outdone, "Kyogre too. He sent me a picture before, but it looks like he hasn't been able to subdue him."
Upon hearing their answers, Daigo's eyes lit up, and his entire demeanor changed.
He had only asked out of curiosity, but he never expected that the two former leaders' nephews, who were also his good brothers, Li Luochen, had already captured Groudon and Kyogre.
Ancient legendary Pokémon of the Shiny New Generation!
This skill and luck are even more outrageous than when he mined rare ore in the Stone Cave!
"Is Luo Chen free recently? I'd like to invite him to the Hoenn region." Daigo's tone was unusually urgent.
Li Luochen is undoubtedly the most suitable person to resolve the meteorite crisis.
"I don't know, ask him yourself." Crimson Flame Pine and Water Wutong said in unison, even their shrugs were exactly the same.
Although the two of them were vying for the title of "Li Luochen's closest uncle" in the office, neither of them actually had the right to make decisions for Li Luochen.
"Okay, I'll go ask."
Daigo walked out of the office, closing the door behind him and leaving behind the pile of shrimp shells and crab legs, as well as the two middle-aged men who were still arguing.
He walked to the end of the corridor, took out his phone next to the elevator, opened the contact in his address book, and pressed the dial button for the number saved as "Good Brother Li Luochen".
At this moment, Li Luochen was still on his way home.
Charizard glided smoothly through the clouds. Li Luochen was leaning against the dragon's back, resting with his eyes closed, and thinking about how to arrange the living arrangements for Groudon and Calyrex when he got back. Suddenly, his cell phone started vibrating in his pocket.
He took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID: his good buddy Daigo.
This is a rare guest.
Li Luochen raised an eyebrow and answered the phone: "Good bro? What made you think of calling me?"
"Brother Luo Chen, I heard you captured Groudon?"
Daigo's voice came through the receiver, gentle yet tinged with undisguised excitement.
He skipped the small talk and went straight to the point, clearly taking the matter very seriously.
"Yeah, I just caught it. What's wrong?" Li Luochen shifted to a more comfortable position, leaning against Charizard's back, and casually touched the Ultra Ball containing Groudon at his waist.
Daigo was well-informed; he had only sent the photo to Redmoon Pine not long before the Hoenn champion called.
"That's perfect. Would you be interested in coming to the Hoenn region? There's something I might need your help with."
Daigo's tone remained polite, but Li Luochen could detect a rare hint of urgency in his voice.
It is no ordinary thing for this usually composed champion to take the initiative to ask for help.
"Is it about the meteorite crisis?"
Given that Daigo would proactively call for help, especially in the Hoenn region, Li Luochen could guess the reason almost without much thought.
Meteor Crisis, Deoxys.
"Yes." Daigo paused, clearly not expecting Li Luochen to have guessed the reason. "The Green Moss Space Center has detected a meteorite approaching Hoenn, containing extremely high levels of psychic energy."
"I plan to test the waters first. If it's just a meteorite, I'll smash it. But if there are Pokémon inside..."
"Whether it's shattering the meteor or controlling a Pokémon, Groudon is the best choice," Li Luochen continued. "After all, there's something even bigger coming up, right?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Daigo didn't deny it, but simply sighed softly, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
"Deep exploration at the Green Ridge Space Center revealed a larger gravitational anomaly signal behind this small meteorite."
"If this is the vanguard, then the main course that follows will probably take more than a few moves to finish off."
"So you should take advantage of the younger ones coming first and train them in advance." Li Luochen smiled, but he didn't expect that Groudon would be brought to the battlefield so soon after being captured. This progress was faster than he had anticipated.
This is good, it'll give Groudon a chance to get used to being commanded by humans to beat things up.
He said decisively into his phone, "Okay, I accept. Give me some time to go back to Rongcheng to rest, and I'll leave tomorrow."
