"Chairman, do we need to issue a warrant? If he returns to Kanto, it will become extremely difficult for us to find him again."
"He isn't going back right now, presumably because of Eternatus's energy issue."
Oleana was extremely calm.
It had been several days since the incident in Hammerlocke, and she had already regained her composure and spirits.
"How can ordinary police officers catch a Trainer who can easily defeat Raihan?"
Rose asked Oleana in his magnetic voice.
Raihan was the top Trainer in the Galar region, second only to Dande, but according to the information Oleana provided, Raihan was easily defeated by that Team Rocket Executive.
This was enough to indicate that the Team Rocket Executive was a Top Champion!
"Besides Dande, no one in Galar can stop him, and… he has already captured Eternatus, Oleana, do you understand what that means?"
Rose then sighed lightly, rubbing his temples to relieve his fatigue.
Originally, in his plan, after he collected enough wishing star energy, he would have Dande capture Eternatus to achieve the dream of infinite energy.
But his plan was cut short before it even began.
And now, the person who captured Eternatus, even Dande, might no longer be an opponent.
Trying to reclaim Eternatus by force was already an impossible task.
He had to find another way.
"I am very sorry, I have disappointed you."
Biting her lip in frustration, Oleana bowed to Rose in apology.
"No, you can't be blamed for this. Even if I had been there, I couldn't have stopped anything."
Rose shook his head, comforting Oleana.
What had happened had happened, and pursuing blame was meaningless.
What was most needed now was to find a solution.
"He will definitely return to Kanto, Oleana, please contact the Kanto League for me. I want to visit Chairman Charles in Kanto."
After a moment of contemplation, Rose's eyes gleamed with wisdom as he instructed Oleana.
Zacian's appearance in Hammerlocke already indicated Zacian's hostility towards Eternatus, and Rose believed that the Team Rocket Executive, who was meticulous enough to capture Eternatus, would absolutely not act rashly in the short term.
After all, Eternatus's appearance would attract Zacian and Zamazenta, wouldn't it?
"Yes." Oleana looked at Rose with a puzzled expression but didn't ask further.
"Eternatus… Team Rocket…"
Rose stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the bustling Wyndon, his face calm.
His purpose in going to Kanto was not to visit Charles Goodshow, but…
Team Rocket!
...
In Slumbering Weald, a blue light landed, revealing Zacian's aloof figure.
"Sister, are you hurt?"
Zamazenta slowly emerged from behind a tree, and upon seeing Zacian, Zamazenta was startled.
"Is it Eternatus?"
It hadn't felt Eternatus return to Gigantamax form, so how did Eternatus injure Zacian?
"It was Calyrex." Zacian shook its head, walked onto the grass, lay down, and closed its eyes to rest.
Zamazenta fell silent upon hearing this and didn't continue to ask how Zacian had clashed with Calyrex.
"Eternatus has found a human Trainer as a partner."
Zacian said indifferently.
Although the trip to Crown Tundra was very unpleasant, it was not without gain.
At that time, most of its attention was indeed focused on Eternatus and Calyrex, but it also noticed the presence of Ryuga and Marnie.
At close range, it could feel the aura of Eternatus on Ryuga, which made the aloof Zacian's mood a bit complex.
"Eternatus's power is indeed too great a temptation for humans. It's normal to be unable to refuse."
Zamazenta said in a low voice.
They were hostile to Eternatus for the sake of this land and the life living here.
Now Eternatus was accepted by humans, which was a kind of irony to them, wasn't it?
But this was really not a strange thing, because Eternatus's power was very strong for humans.
"After my injuries heal, I'm going out again."
Zacian didn't continue to discuss this topic and spoke lightly.
Zamazenta turned and left upon hearing this, allowing its sister to rest peacefully, but after turning, a hint of complexity appeared in Zamazenta's eyes.
Zacian was aloof and cold, but Zamazenta knew that its sister was actually very kind-hearted, and it could also feel the sadness and fatigue in Zacian's heart.
Precisely because they were called heroes, they worked tirelessly for this land, fighting and running around, but now they had clashed with the once benevolent and gentle Calyrex, and Eternatus was even accepted by humans.
This was indeed a considerable blow to Zacian.
Were they wrong to target Eternatus?
They just didn't want what happened three thousand years ago to repeat itself.
They were simply taking precautions.
…
The next day, the sun was bright, and at the airport, Ryuga, wearing a wide gentleman's hat, turned his head to look at Marnie.
"Reluctant to leave? You can come back and visit whenever you have time."
Ryuga said with a smile, yes, they were already preparing to leave Galar.
Although he really wanted Eternatus to return to its peak state, Ryuga still knew his limits at the moment.
Perhaps one second Eternatus would Gigantamax, and the next second Zacian and Zamazenta would appear.
This situation was really not what Ryuga wanted to see.
He still needed to make more thorough preparations.
For now, temporarily leaving Galar and accumulating more power was the right path.
"It's fine. Speaking of which, this is my first time leaving Galar."
Marnie retracted her gaze from afar.
The direction she was looking at was Spikemuth.
"I won't disappoint you, but if you come with me, you might experience many exciting adventures."
Ryuga's lips curved slightly.
He was not some righteous Trainer.
As a Team Rocket Executive and a Masked Organization member, in the eyes of well-meaning young people, he was completely an evil existence.
"Can I regret it now?"
"No way. Once you're on a pirate ship, there's no getting off."
"So I've been prepared for a long time."
Marnie rolled her eyes, her face unperturbed, as cool and calm as ever.
She had always known that Ryuga was not a good person, but in her opinion, Ryuga was definitely not a bad person either.
Perhaps… it was just because of favoritism~
"Then let's go. Time is still relatively tight. I'll take you to a good place."
Ryuga's smile deepened upon hearing this, and regardless of whether Marnie agreed or not, he took Marnie's hand and walked into the plane.
Marnie looked at Ryuga's back, and a barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of her lips.
This time, she was truly on a pirate ship, but this feeling, not at all, wasn't unpleasant.
The plane quickly took off and disappeared into the sky.
Veilstone City Airport, Sinnoh region.
"This is the Sinnoh region."
At the airport exit, Marnie looked around, mostly able to see the distant Veilstone City.
A new region, a new city, brought a completely new feeling to the young girl who was leaving Galar for the first time.
Ryuga also looked around.
It was his first time in the Sinnoh region, and he also felt a sense of novelty.
But soon, Ryuga took out his phone and opened the Sinnoh map.
"But Ryuga, why are we coming to the Sinnoh region?"
After composing herself, Marnie's face returned to calm as she asked Ryuga, a hint of curiosity in her tone.
Although she had been brought to Sinnoh, Marnie really didn't know Ryuga's purpose here.
Ryuga was clearly from Kanto, so why was he always traveling around?
"Found it, we're going here."
He quickly found the destination, and Ryuga held his phone in front of Marnie.
"Michina Town?"
Marnie blinked her clear beautiful eyes.
Her understanding of Sinnoh was truly not deep.
"Yes, a very interesting event once happened there. Let's eat something first and then go."
Ryuga grinned, his amber eyes constantly flickering.
That's right, the reason for coming to Sinnoh was Michina Town!
...
Michina Town is a small town located in the Sinnoh region.
Michina Town isn't particularly famous in the Sinnoh region, as it's primarily an ancient ruins town, besides its beautiful natural environment.
But the Pokémon world is full of unique and beautiful wilderness.
And as for ruins...
Those who enjoy exploring ruins are ultimately a minority in this Trainer-centric world, and Michina Town doesn't offer any significant advantages compared to other ancient ruins.
This is because there aren't many ruins in Michina Town worth exploring, apart from the legend from a thousand years ago—the legend of the Creator God!
After a day of rest in Veilstone City, Ryuga and Marnie arrived in this town.
"The environment here is truly beautiful."
The two walked along a grassy path, at the end of which was an incredibly clear lake.
Marnie's eyes lit up.
It was a very beautiful small lake, reflecting shimmering light under the sunlight, extremely beautiful.
"Michina Town's environment is indeed one of the best." Ryuga praised with a smile.
"So Ryuga, why are we here? You're not just bringing me to see the scenery, are you?"
Marnie turned around, tilted her head slightly, and asked Ryuga with her big, blinking eyes.
Although the environment was beautiful, it was just that—the environment. Marnie didn't believe Ryuga would come all the way to Sinnoh by plane for such a simple reason.
"Why not? Enjoying picturesque scenery with Marnie is a wonderful feeling."
Ryuga's lips curved slightly upward as he looked at Marnie's exquisite face and smiled.
"Speak like a normal person."
Marnie rolled her eyes charmingly.
She knew Ryuga was messing with her.
"Have you read about Michina Town's history?"
Ryuga shrugged, no longer teasing, and turned to look at a tall mountain not far away.
That was Michina Town's Great Mountain, and at its summit lay the Michina Ruins, also known as the Ancient Temple site!
"Legend has it that a thousand years ago, Michina Town suffered a catastrophe that turned the entire Michina Town into a barren wasteland, but the survivors of Michina Town received a blessing from a God."
"Only then did Michina Town become fertile and abundant, evolving into its current appearance."
Marnie thought for a moment; this was the information she had found online about Michina Town last night.
Because Ryuga seemed quite interested in Michina Town, she specifically looked it up, but according to the available information, Michina Town didn't seem particularly special.
"That's right. A thousand years ago, an unprecedentedly huge meteorite descended above Michina Town. If it had hit the ground, it would have likely destroyed all life in at least the entire Sinnoh region."
Ryuga's eyes shimmered as he explained Michina Town's past to Marnie.
A world-destroying meteorite – that was the disaster Michina Town once faced.
If it were a small meteorite, the impact would actually be minimal, perhaps not even making it past the atmosphere, but a world-destroying meteorite is absolutely no joke.
The term "world-destroying" doesn't refer to how much direct damage the meteorite itself could inflict.
The fall of a giant meteorite would not only directly destroy the impact site, but the resulting shock to the planet would be the most terrifying and fatal crisis.
For example, on Earth, where Ryuga once lived, how did dinosaurs go extinct?
They weren't directly hit and destroyed by the meteorite, but rather due to the impact of the meteorite causing a mass extinction event.
Volcanic eruptions, Earthquake, tsunamis, and a series of continuous natural disasters triggered by the meteorite's impact!
Enough to make all life despair.
"Then a God appeared and stopped the meteorite from falling, but the 'fragments' of the shattered meteorite still left Michina Town scarred."
"And because it stopped the meteorite, the God also suffered a huge impact. The life orb that sustained the God's life was dislodged by the meteorite's impact, and without the life orb, the God was in mortal danger."
"Finally, a kind-hearted human helped the God retrieve the life orb, allowing the God to awaken again."
"The God, who trusted that human, took out five of its own life orb and made them into the life orb to help the ravaged, barren land recover its vitality, in order to restore Michina Town's vitality."
Ryuga narrated slowly, and as he spoke, a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.
Yes, the one who stopped the meteorite from descending was none other than Arceus, the legend who created the world!
Arceus's life orb were precisely the seventeen plates!
However, Arceus, as the Creator God, deeply trusted humans, but its ultimate fate was not good at all.
"Then what happened? And what kind of God was it?"
Marnie listened intently, and seeing Ryuga stop, she immediately asked.
"Arceus. The God said to have revived the land of Michina Town is Arceus."
Just as Ryuga was about to speak, a pleasant female voice came from behind him.
Ryuga turned his head, and when he saw who it was, his eyes flickered.
A cascade of golden hair, a black outfit that appeared mature and elegant, long bangs covering her left eye, and a face of exquisite beauty with a noble and classic demeanor.
This was none other than Cynthia!
(Pic Here)
And by Cynthia's side was also a golden-haired beauty, with flowing long hair, an incredibly delicate face, dressed in a form-fitting white and pink long dress, exuding the noble elegance of a young lady from a prestigious family.
Caitlin!
(Pic Here)
These two were none other than Cynthia and Caitlin.
"What a wonderful encounter."
Ryuga's eyes narrowed slightly as he discreetly observed the stunning 'sisters' slowly approaching.
Neither of these two women was simple, and it was quite a coincidence that he ran into them.
And why was Caitlin still in Sinnoh? Logically, she should have already given up her position as the Battle Frontier Brain and gone to Unova for training to become an Unova Elite Four.
