"Wow~ Such beautiful flowers, can you give them to me?"
A clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears, startling everyone present.
It was a very cute and childish childish voice.
Lille and the others immediately looked around, but didn't see anyone.
"Telepathy?"
The next moment, Catlin and Lille understood what the sound was.
There is no doubt that this is telepathy. Telepathy is the communication between minds, which is consistent with the fact that the sound seems to come suddenly from the bottom of the heart.
"Could it be…"
Mammon raised his eyebrows and immediately took out the purple crystal from his backpack, but there was still nothing unusual on the surface of the stone.
"Is that you, Jirachi?"
Seeing such cute telepathy, Mammon almost subconsciously thought of Jirachi.
"Oh, yes~ I really like this beautiful little flower."
The crisp telepathy sounded again, and at the same time, a layer of barely visible light appeared on the purple crystal.
"Incredible! Jirachi has already become aware of the Millennium Comet before it arrives?"
Butler was very surprised. This was different from the information he knew about Jirachi.
Upon hearing this, Catlin and Lille also looked strange, but also surprised. Are they going to see Jirachi?
"Then wake up now and I'll give this flower to you, okay?" Mammon immediately said to Jirachi.
"…"
But Jirachi did not respond again, and the crystal completely lost its light, as if Jirachi had fallen into a deep sleep again.
After waiting for a minute and making sure that Jirachi was completely silent, Mammon fell into thought.
"How come you suddenly became conscious?"
Mammon was very surprised. Jirachi's sleep should be very deep, definitely not worse than Kyogre's.
After all, before the Millennium Comet arrived, even if Jirachi was really dug out and moved away, Jirachi would not have any reaction at all.
This is what Butler did in the movie. He dug out the sleeping Jirachi a few days before the Millennium Comet and packed it up and took it away. Jirachi didn't react at all.
It was not until the Millennium Comet began that the dormant Jirachi communicated with Kacchan telepathically, expressing its love for Kacchan.
"Could it be because of Viridian's power?"
Mammon thought, if there was one thing he could guess was that the only thing that was unusual was that he had just injected some of the power of the Evergreen into Jirachi.
But Mammon couldn't be sure whether it was because of the power of Viridian.
"Let's try again after we get back."
Mammon put the crystal back into his backpack and prepared to try again later.
Then...
"Then I'll keep this rose for this little guy."
Mammon put the rose away and looked at Butler with narrowed eyes. This guy...
Butler noticed Mammon's eyes keenly and broke out in a sweat.
Oh no, I'm flattering someone too much. I hope my boss won't make things difficult for me later.
After finding Jirachi's sleeping cocoon, Mammon went on a tour of the Forina with Catlin and Lille.
The scenery of Forina is indeed very beautiful, and Mammon also took a lot of beautiful photos of the two of them.
Catlin was elegant and generous, but Lille was still a bit shy. However, the girl's blush outweighed everything, and the photos she took were still very beautiful.
After playing in Forina for an afternoon, the three of them came to Lavaridge Town and prepared to take a hot spring bath and rest.
"Luna~"
On the battlefield, the gorgeous big bat wings hugged Mammon and rubbed Mammon's head affectionately with his cheek.
"You kid, you're already so old, but you still like to act like a spoiled child."
Mammon flapped Lunala's wings gently, feeling both amused and helpless, but he still felt very satisfied in his heart.
After all, this is Lunala, the 'Moon Beast' from Alola Legend.
"But I'm very happy to see you again." Mammon's tone softened.
"Luna~"
Lunala narrowed her eyes, obviously very happy.
Seeing the intimate communication between one person and one Pokémon, Lille smiled sweetly knowingly and picked up her phone to record this moment.
Little Nebby and Mr. Mammon are surprisingly compatible.
The Pokémon League in Ever Grande City.
Steven walked into his office with a tired look on his face and found Wallace sitting on the sofa.
"How is uncle?"
Wallace saw Steven coming back and stood up and asked with concern.
"Five years in prison."
"Five years?"
Wallace was extremely surprised. Joseph Stone, the man who built Devon Company into a world-leading enterprise, was actually going to be imprisoned for five years. This news was going to cause an earthquake in Hoenn.
After all, Devon Company is truly well-known in the Hoenn region.
"This is all thanks to my father's contributions to Hoenn over the years, as well as his positive attitude in turning himself in and confessing his guilt."
Steven rubbed his brows, looking very tired, his tone was weak, and there were even red bloodshot eyes from not having slept all night.
As soon as the meeting ended yesterday, Commander Jenny informed him of the news that Joseph Stone had surrendered himself to the police.
Steven was extremely shocked. How could he not know who his father was?
He even suspected that this was Mammon's conspiracy. After all, Joseph Stone surrendered himself just after being kidnapped by Team Rocket.
It's hard not to associate this with something.
But after visiting Steven Stone and talking with him, Steven finally understood the whole story.
This was a huge psychological shock to Steven. He never expected that the father he respected in his heart had ever done such a thing.
"Why...?"
Wallace was very puzzled. Steven was silent for a while, and repeated Joseph Stone's confession with extremely complicated feelings.
After hearing this, Wallace felt that it was not unfair for Joseph Stone to be in prison.
"He killed an innocent girl and used a technological device to forcibly capture Rayquaza..."
Wallace really had nothing to say. These were all serious crimes!
The Pokemon League is a humanitarian organization, so the league has long had regulations prohibiting the use of technological devices to forcibly capture Pokémon.
Once caught, they will be severely punished.
Not to mention that Joseph Stone actually killed the trainer of Rayquaza, which is extremely evil.
"And the Rayquaza trainer who died was Zinna's sister."
Steven grabbed his hair and spoke in an extremely low voice.
This also successfully answered his question as to why Zinna, the Dragon Champion, would rather join the evil organization Team Rocket than the Hoenn League.
"Ah?"
Master Wallace was stunned. Is there such a thing?
"Then what we'll do next..."
"Team Rocket must be expelled no matter what!"
Steven said in a deep voice that although the family had suffered a bad change, there was no conflict between official business and personal matters.
Moreover, although Joseph Stone is his father, Steven knows very well that since this was a mistake that Joseph Stone had made himself, he should bear the consequences.
Steven's values are still very positive. Of course, after all, this incident happened to his own father, and he is indeed feeling very uncomfortable at the moment.
There are both the sins that his father once committed and the complexity of his father now being in jail.
"Yeah! This is the Steven I know!" Wallace gave Steven a thumbs up.
"As for the Mega Evolution Stone, Dr. Sycamore from kalos has already responded to us. Although he's still researching, he's basically confirmed the existence of Mega Evolution."
"Mega evolution requires Pokémon to carry the corresponding Mega Evolution Stone, and the trainer needs to carry the Key Stone to resonate with it."
"This corresponds to the scene when Mammon and the others used Mega Evolution. I think it's correct."
Wallace spoke to Steven.
"Professor Sycamore can provide us with some Mega Evolution Stones and Key Stones, but we need to confirm the Pokémon that the Mega Evolution Stones correspond to ourselves."
"Yes, since it's the corresponding Mega Evolution Stone, the Pokémon itself should be able to sense it somewhat."
Steven thought for a moment and replied, although he couldn't tell the types of Mega Evolution Stones apart, perhaps the Pokémon themselves could recognize which Mega Evolution Stone was the one they needed?
"Yes, that's what Dr. Sycamore recommended we try." Wallace nodded.
"Then let's give it a try. When the Mega Evolution Stone and Key Stone arrive, let Champion Cynthia and the others come over."
Steven rubbed his aching temple.
"As long as our main forces can Mega Evolve, we can organize another operation. After all, Cynthia Champion and the others can't stay for long, so we must hurry."
After all, Cynthia and the others are all "borrowed". Cynthia and Dante are both champions, Giovanni is the gym leader, and Nemona is still traveling for her second challenge to the Paldea Alliance.
It is also impossible for them to stay in Hoenn for a long time.
"Okay, Steven, you should take a rest first. Your mental state is too bad right now."
Wallace tried to persuade Steven, saying that in all the time he had known Steven, he had never seen him in such a bad mental state.
"I'll take a nap later. Where are Cynthia Champion and the others now?"
"Champion Cynthia and Nemona left Ever Grande City to relax. Gym Master Giovanni also said he was going out for a walk. If anything happens, you can contact them at any time. Champion Leon is training in the training ground in the back."
In fact, Leon was originally planning to go out for a stroll in Ever Grande City. After all, this was his first time in the Hoenn region.
However, considering the previous situation in Rustboro City, Leon felt that he should not "run around" for the time being.
"Let's arrange a tour guide for Champion Leon to take him around the area." Steven said helplessly.
We can't have Leon travel all the way to Hoenn for daily training, right? That would make the Hoenn Alliance seem incredibly rude.
…
LaRousse City is a high-tech city located near Lilycove City.
The technology here is quite advanced, with automatic sidewalks and patrol robots. However, the most famous thing about LaRousse City is its battle tower.
After resting for a night in Lavaridge Town, Mammon and the other two arrived in this high-tech city.
"This city is so developed."
Seeing this high-tech city for the first time, Lille was very excited. Carrying a backpack, she looked up at the tall buildings on both sides.
"Larousse is considered a model of a modern city, but because it's so technologically advanced, it's less popular."
Mammon said with a smile.
Although this futuristic high-tech city is very eye-catching, LaRousse City is actually not particularly famous in the Hoenn region, let alone in the world.
The main theme of this world is still the relationship between man and nature, characters and Pokémon. Most people who come to LaRousse City for travel and sightseeing are curious about this high-tech city and the battle tower.
There are very few people who are really willing to stay and settle in LaRousse City.
"But it's still necessary to come and have a visit."
Mammon glanced at the map and his destination was very clear.
"Hmm~"
Lille looked at the robots passing by and was still very curious.
The three of them took a brief stroll around the city of LaRousse and finally arrived in front of a research institute.
"Who are you?"
A young female researcher with long dark brown hair opened the door of the institute and looked at the three people in confusion.
"Hello, we would like to visit Dr. Lund."
Mammon was smiling, and his handsome face, bright smile and sunny temperament made people completely disregard him.
Dr. Lund, the top person in charge of this high-tech research facility, was the one who brought back one of the meteorites four years ago.
Because Dr. Lund saw with his own eyes Deoxys appearing with the meteorite, and the subsequent battle between Deoxys and Rayquaza.
Therefore, Dr. Lund became very interested in the ecological habits of Deoxys. He has been trying to revive the Deoxys in the meteorite, but he has never succeeded.
"Come in."
The young woman invited Mammon and the other two in.
In this world, it is not uncommon for scholars and travelers to visit famous local research doctors.
"My name is Yuko, and I assist Dr. Lund with his research. Are you all trainers?"
Yuko led the three of them and asked Mammon and the other two curiously.
"Yes, this is the first time for the three of us to come to the Hoenn region." Mammon replied with a smile.
While chatting, the three of them came into the research institute. In a laboratory, a serious-looking middle-aged researcher with blue hair was looking at a data report.
"Dr. Lund, a guest wants to visit you." Yuko knocked on the door of the laboratory, then opened the door and walked in.
This research institute is not small, and in the center of the laboratory is a large experimental pipe. The most conspicuous thing in the pipe is a meteorite. In the center of the meteorite is a green gem crystal.
"That's it! Deoxys!"
Mammon's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the emerald green crystal on the meteorite.
This is the very core of Deoxys!
It is also the most important thing for Deoxys. As long as this core crystal is not destroyed, Deoxys can slowly regenerate and revive even if its body is completely shattered.
This green crystal Deoxys has not yet fully awakened.
Four years ago, the purple crystal Deoxys instance one fought against Rayquaza, who mistook them for invaders, in order to find instance two. As a result of the battle, instance one was directly blasted to pieces by Rayquaza's destructive death light, leaving only a core crystal that fell into the sea.
But it must be mentioned that if Deoxys had not underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly in that battle, I'm afraid this Rayquaza might not have been able to defeat Deoxys.
Well, the weakest Rayquaza is undoubtedly.
