Rustboro City.
After some twists and turns, Ash and his companions returned once more to this grand city, filled with a classical charm. From a distance, they could still see the Rustboro Gym, clad in its rock shell.
Fallarbor Town was located north of Rustboro City, but a massive canyon created by Meteor Falls stood between them, making it difficult to reach Fallarbor Town directly from the south.
Coming down from Fallarbor Town, however, was much simpler.
Since they had arrived in this city, Ash naturally headed straight for the Devon Corporation headquarters, intending to ask some questions.
He had a feeling that this disastrous meteorite incident had become completely entangled with his journey through the Hoenn Region.
If he didn't resolve this problem, he wouldn't be able to focus on the upcoming Hoenn League Conference.
Arriving before the headquarters building.
"You three, President Stone is already waiting for you upstairs!"
The secretary, Xiaona, whom they had met once before, was already standing at the entrance waiting for them.
Her form-fitting employee uniform perfectly showcased her excellent figure. She had a slightly tan complexion and wore black-framed glasses, giving her a meticulous appearance.
"Miss Xiaona~! We meet again~!"
Brock's eyes lit up instantly. He pushed past Ash, leaped forward, and seized her hand.
This action made Secretary Xiaona a bit flustered, and she subconsciously took a few steps back. However, she quickly composed herself and led the group into the company building.
Before coming, Ash had already contacted President Stone through his Pokédex.
Taking the elevator all the way to the top floor, Ash and his friends once again found themselves in the spacious reception hall.
President Stone, dressed in a neat, purple-striped suit, stood up from his seat with a smile and came over to greet them.
"How are things, you three? Are the Mega Stones working out well?"
Hearing this, Ash and his companions scratched their heads in embarrassment.
Although they all had their Key Stones, their Pokémon hadn't reached their final evolutions yet.
Oh, Pidgeot was an exception.
Even though Blue's Mawile had already met the basic requirements, the two were still working on their rapport and strengthening their bond.
Besides the basic requirements, Mega Evolution naturally also depended on the "software"—the bond between the trainer and the Pokémon.
If the strength of their bond wasn't high enough, the Pokémon might enter a berserk mode and lose its sanity right after evolving.
Even if it didn't go berserk, the degree of their bond and rapport was directly related to the level of strength a Pokémon could gain after Mega Evolution.
Of course, Ash's bond power was a special case.
After some catching up, the group got back to the main topic.
"I previously went to a place called Meteor Village..."
Ash recounted everything he had seen and heard at Meteor Falls—the prophecy, the Dragon God trial—holding nothing back. There was no reason to hide any of it.
"Something like that happened...?"
"That's truly unbelievable..."
President Stone and the secretary standing behind him both stared with wide eyes, stunned by Ash's words.
This adventure of his sounded rather incredible.
"So your Devon Corporation already knew about that meteorite, didn't you?" Ash couldn't help but ask.
This time, President Stone's expression tightened, and he didn't try to hide anything further.
Whether it was because of Ash's own strength or the fact that he had been drawn into the events of Meteor Village... he now had the right to be involved in this matter.
Thinking this, President Stone sighed and then explained in a solemn voice:
"Unlike the scientific data from the Mossdeep Space Center or the heritage of Meteor Village... we at the Devon Corporation received this information from a prophecy found on an ancient mural."
In a way, it was similar to the prophecy of the Draconid People, but it wasn't part of the same system.
The Pokémon World has numerous myths. It could only be said that the Draconid People weren't the only ones who foresaw that a meteorite would fall a thousand years from now.
And the Devon Corporation had received this news decades ago... back when the president of Devon Corporation was still President Stone's grandfather.
This was combined with the recent report from Mossdeep City, which indicated a low probability of a meteorite impact.
No, in other fields, less than 5% might be a small probability, but in the field of astronomy, this was already an extremely dangerous and alarming number.
These days, the Devon Corporation has been in constant contact with the Mossdeep Space Center.
As the largest corporation in the Hoenn Region, they naturally had to prepare under the assumption that "the meteorite has a 100% chance of striking the planet!"
"Summon Rayquaza and rely on the strength of a god to destroy the meteorite?"
Listening to Ash's account, President Stone nodded.
Using the power of an ancient, god-level Pokémon was indeed a strategy with room for operation.
At least it was much more simple and direct than their method.
"Since it's you all, I won't hide it any longer. Xiaona."
President Stone then sat back down in his seat and gave a meaningful look.
Xiaona, at his side, immediately straightened up and began to explain their strategy to the group.
"This is a joint plan developed by our Devon Corporation and the Mossdeep Space Center..."
The principle was quite simple.
Just before the meteorite is about to fall, the Mossdeep Space Center will launch a rocket in advance to intercept it.
Of course, it wouldn't be a direct collision...
"The rocket will be carrying a device from our Devon Corporation, the Dimensional Transfer Device."
Hearing these words, Ash and his companions jolted.
Although they didn't know what it meant, it sounded like an incredible piece of high-tech.
"This Dimensional Transfer Device can create a spatial wormhole and make the meteorite teleport away completely, as if nothing ever happened," President Stone continued, picking up the explanation.
And the energy required to operate such a device, one far beyond the level of modern technology, was immense.
But energy was precisely the domain where the Devon Corporation excelled.
"Infinite Energy, also known as Life Energy, is my choice!"
In truth, this plan wasn't started by President Stone.
Decades ago, President Stone's grandfather traveled through the Kalos Region investigating local myths and legends, and it was then that he learned of this Life Energy that could be extracted from Pokémon.
The energy it contained was enough to power the Dimensional Transfer Device... even if the target was a massive meteorite!
Now, with the day approaching, in President Stone's generation, the Infinite Energy technology had finally moved from theory to practice and could be brought into reality.
This was the entirety of their plan.
Science was never the trio's strong suit, but they could still understand the key points.
"Extracting energy from Pokémon..."
"Does that mean they'll be drained?"
"Uh, isn't that too cruel?"
Hearing this, President Stone simply shook his head.
"Drained is a bit of an exaggeration... but this method is bound to have irreversible consequences for the Pokémon."
President Stone sighed, not denying the cruelty of the operation.
"Because if that meteorite is allowed to fall... people can be moved and evacuated."
"But this land is inhabited by countless wild Pokémon. It's impossible to move all of them in a short amount of time."
"No matter the cost... at least the situation won't be worse than letting the meteorite fall."
