The smoke and dust settled.
"Aoooh!"
The Tyrantrum slowly pushed itself up from the rock ruins.
But it had long since lost the monarch-like aura it possessed at the start. Its body swayed unsteadily, and it panted heavily from its blood-red maw.
"..."
Zinnia's expression shifted, but in the end, she silently recalled it into its Poké Ball.
The battle came to an abrupt end.
She was already set on leaving.
Failing to directly ambush the trainer herself was one thing.
This guy was just as formidable as the information said.
His Pikachu alone was incredibly difficult to deal with. Now that Ash had a chance to react and free up his hands, the other Pokémon he carried were also forces that couldn't be ignored.
Thinking of this, Zinnia's expression hardened, and she finally stopped hesitating.
Bracing herself on the back of the Salamence beside her, she leaped nimbly on top, preparing to Fly away.
Seeing his opponent about to leave so suddenly, Ash's battle intent subsided slightly as he suddenly asked:
"So, you secretly disguised yourself as President Stone's secretary just to get their strategy for resolving the crisis?"
The woman had just said she would save the planet with her own method... could it be she had her eyes on the Devon Corporation's method?
Zinnia was a bit ruthless, but her purpose was also to deal with this disastrous crisis.
It seemed Ash didn't really have a reason to deliver some justice and hand her over to Officer Jenny.
However, this question made Zinnia sneer, her expression filled with unconcealed mockery and disdain.
"The Devon Corporation's plan is doomed to fail!"
In truth, there's nothing wrong with the plan itself, and there's nothing wrong with putting it into action...
But she would interfere and stop this plan, which would absolutely cause the Devon Corporation's plan to fall through!
"Why? Are you worried about those Pokémon being drained?"
Ash couldn't help but ask.
So, she was a fanatical Pokémon-lover after all...
However, in the next moment, Zinnia simply said in a solemn voice, "When facing a great disaster, some sacrifice is unavoidable. I don't see any problem with that action."
Her words made Ash's face change.
Misunderstanding cleared. Turns out she was unhinged after all.
After lying in wait at the Devon Corporation for all these years, Zinnia was actually very familiar with this plan.
The first half of the plan was fine, but the problem was with the end.
The Dimensional Transfer Device...
It's not a Dimensional Disappearance Device!
No matter how it's operated, that disaster-level meteorite won't just vanish into thin air. It will still be there.
It's just a teleportation.
"Perfect. My purpose has been achieved anyway. You can go back and take this message to that old man."
Zinnia stood on the wide back of her Salamence, her expression suddenly becoming incredibly serious.
Now that her identity was exposed, she had no intention of returning to the Devon Corporation to continue being a quiet little secretary.
Zinnia's own plan for dealing with the meteorite crisis also needed its final preparations.
Hearing this, Ash perked up his ears, curious about what kind of Psyduck-level nonsense she was about to say.
"Their plan might indeed allow this planet to escape this crisis... but another planet will inevitably have to pay the price for us."
"Another planet?"
Ash was completely bewildered, having no idea what this person was talking about.
But Zinnia just gazed at Ash with a solemn expression.
With the Devon Corporation's level of technology, inventing a space-time teleportation device is already incredible. As for controlling the destination... that's simply impossible.
"Everything in this world is inextricably linked to karma."
Zinnia's words suddenly jumped from science to metaphysics...
Coupled with the gray, tattered robe she wore, Ash finally realized that the Draconid People were inherently a group of metaphysical people.
"Ash of Pallet Town, in this world, you became the winner of a League Conference and even an Elite Four-level Trainer in just one year."
Zinnia was clearly well-informed about Ash's background and history.
"But have you ever considered that in another world, everything is the same as it is here... but you might journey for twenty years and still be unable to win a single tournament?"
Zinnia's words were spoken slowly.
They seemed like nonsensical ramblings, but for some reason, they sent a mysterious chill down Ash's spine.
What a terrifying world!
"And in that world, no meteorite crisis ever existed. Everything developed peacefully and naturally..."
Zinnia changed the subject, shifting the focus back to the current meteorite disaster.
"And if we randomly teleport a disaster-level meteorite from this world, it might just land there! It could even directly smash and kill the Ash of that other Pallet Town!"
They would be free from worry, but the Pokémon and humans on another planet would have to suffer the disaster for them.
Rounding it up, it's all for nothing.
That's why Zinnia would definitely intervene and stop the Devon Corporation's plan.
"Uhh..."
Ash remained immersed in the thought of that terrifying world for a long moment.
Maybe in that world, he didn't meet Brother Red on the first day of his journey...
"Wait a minute, it could also be teleported to some uninhabited place!"
Ash's body shuddered as he blurted out the question.
What are the odds of such a coincidence, that it would land right on another version of himself?
"It's a gut feeling... and my gut feelings have always been accurate."
Zinnia explained in a low voice.
That was her nature; once she set her mind on something, she wouldn't hesitate in the slightest.
These words, however, left Ash feeling conflicted.
He never thought that on top of the initial price of "draining Pokémon," the Devon Corporation's plan now came with the possibility of "killing another version of himself."
In that case, it seemed that relying on Rayquaza's power was the only risk-free method...?
"I've said all I need to. If you want to keep helping the Devon Corporation with this foolishness, then go right ahead."
Seeing Ash lower his head in conflict, Zinnia prepared to command her Salamence to take off and leave.
It didn't matter. The Dimensional Transfer Device relied on absorbing the life energy of Pokémon after Mega Evolution...
But before leaving, she had already swiped all of the Devon Corporation's Mega Stones.
Let's see what you use for your experiment now!
"Pidgey~~"
But just as the Salamence was about to take flight, the sound of a little bird's cry suddenly came from above the heads of the person and the dragon.
Zinnia subconsciously raised her head.
Salamence naturally has the Intimidate ability; ordinary little birds wouldn't dare fly over its head...
What came into view was a small, brownish-gray bird.
It was a Pidgey, one that only appeared in the Kanto Region.
But its habitat wasn't important. Zinnia suddenly noticed that this Pidgey's face wasn't that of an ordinary Bird Pokémon.
Lively big eyes, a delicate, slightly upturned nose, and small red lips...
It was a face with human facial features!
