Lilycove City, in front of the Department Store.
Seeing that Ash's strength was extraordinary, and since she had also overheard some information, Phoebe shared all the information she knew.
However, the content was mostly the same as what Ash had heard at the Weather Institute, only with some additional historical legends about the Red Orb and the Blue Orb.
"For generations, my family has been the guardians of the two Orbs. However, because I left Mt. Pyre two years ago, it gave evildoers an opportunity to strike."
Elite Four Phoebe sighed.
She had grown up on Mt. Pyre, naturally coexisting with the local Ghost-type Pokémon. Her strength also grew rapidly and imperceptibly.
She even possessed the special ability to communicate with ghosts telepathically.
But she couldn't stay trapped in one place for her entire life.
Thus, two years ago, Phoebe came down from the mountain to challenge the Gyms. In her very first year, she won the League Conference and even challenged the Elite Four, rising to the pinnacle of the Hoenn Region in a single stroke.
"Formidable,"
Ash nodded. Calculating her age, she must have achieved the feat of becoming an Elite Four member at the age of twelve. A true prodigy.
But what made him even more curious was, what exactly was that woman trying to do?
In all likelihood, the theft of the two Orbs was Zinnia's handiwork.
The Red Orb had caused Groudon to run amok all over the world.
And now, she had given the Blue Orb to the leader of Team Aqua.
"This woman... could she be planning to make Groudon and Kyogre appear at the same time and start a massive battle?!"
Ash and Phoebe exchanged a glance, a horrifying thought rising in both their minds.
If that were true, it would be an unimaginable disaster for the Hoenn Region.
If those two Orbs truly held the power to control and influence the ancient Pokémon, then based on the fanatical ambitions of Team Aqua and Team Magma, they would inevitably drive Groudon to make countless volcanoes erupt, covering the ocean with gushing lava to expand the continents.
Meanwhile, Kyogre would naturally stir up monstrous waves, and successive tsunamis would surely submerge the land.
In the clash between volcanoes and tsunamis, the only ones to suffer would be all the living beings in the Hoenn Region.
"Right, that Red Orb should be at the Weather Institute right now."
Ash suddenly remembered something and quickly shared the information with her.
In the Unova Region, the Red Orb had already been successfully recovered by Gary. It should now be on its way back to the Hoenn Region with members of the Weather Institute.
Of course, a clumsy, giant lava turtle was also following behind it.
Calculating the time, they should arrive in about four or five days.
Since Zinnia gave the Blue Orb to Team Aqua, her next target might be the Red Orb, which she planned to offer to the neighboring Team Magma.
Ash could no longer fathom what this woman was thinking at all.
She was even better at stirring up trouble than Gary used to be.
Her goal was supposed to be stopping the disastrous meteorite from the sky, but now it had turned into provoking a war between two ancient Pokémon?
"Good information!"
Hearing this, Elite Four Phoebe's eyes lit up.
With a flick of her palm, she had already tossed out a Poké Ball.
*Pop!*
A red light flashed, and a spherical Pokémon, about two meters tall, appeared before Ash.
Its bloated body resembled a purple-gray hot air balloon, with a puff of white cloud on its head and four long, thin, arm-like appendages below.
"This is..."
Ash subconsciously took out his Pokédex.
"Dee-dee. Drifblim, the Blimp Pokémon, a Ghost and Flying type. It flies on the wind, seemingly at random. It is said that the gas inside its body is made of souls. It sometimes secretly absorbs the vital energy of the souls of humans or Pokémon it carries."
The Pokédex's straightforward introduction sent a shiver down Phoebe's spine, who was just about to ride the Drifblim.
"Wuwu~~!!"
The Drifblim let out a mournful cry, as if to say this human machine was insulting it!
No, insulting a blimp!
"There, there~!"
Elite Four Phoebe just rubbed the Drifblim's head. She shared a firm bond with it and naturally wouldn't believe the words of an outsider.
But then again, it did seem that every time she rode the Drifblim, her body would feel vaguely weaker...
Shaking her head, Elite Four Phoebe grabbed the thin strips hanging down from the Drifblim.
There was no time to think about such things now.
The Drifblim gathered its four appendages toward the center, forming a supportive seat... like a swing hanging beneath a hot air balloon.
"Well then, Ash, it was nice meeting you, but I must go and protect the Red Orb now!"
Phoebe said to Ash with a serious expression:
"If you're also participating in the Ever Grande Conference... let's meet again in Ever Grande City!"
As she spoke, before Ash's eyes, the Drifblim carried Elite Four Phoebe soaring upwards, hovering in mid-air.
*Whoosh!*
As an Ominous Wind began to blow around them, the girl and her Pokémon drifted away to the east.
Lilycove City is on the easternmost edge of the Hoenn mainland, but the easternmost point of the entire region should be the island where Mossdeep City is located.
If the people from the Weather Institute were returning, that would be the first place they arrived. Phoebe planned to go and meet them.
A moment later, only Ash and Pikachu remained.
"What a hassle..."
Seeing that he had unknowingly been delayed for several hours, he finally hurried off in the direction of the Pokémon Contest hall.
Just as Ash walked through the main entrance of the Lilycove City Pokémon Contest Hall.
"Ash! You're finally here!!"
Blue, with a single braid draped over her shoulder, came up to greet him. She had a beaming expression and was holding several small, brownish cubes in her hands.
"Hurry and try the Pokéblocks I made~!!"
She looked at Ash with an expectant gaze, as if she were presenting a treasure.
Without a second thought, Ash and Pikachu each grabbed a cube and tossed it into their mouths to chew.
"*Nom, nom...!* *Nom, nom...!*"
Despite being small cubes only three or four centimeters long, they were surprisingly chewy.
And the more they chewed, the more fragrant it became, leaving a sweet aftertaste of fruit juice before finally being swallowed.
*Wait, aren't these Pokémon food...?*
"Delicious!"
Although he wasn't quite sure what he was eating, Ash praised her without hesitation, giving a thumbs-up.
"Hehe~!"
This made Blue scratch her head in embarrassment, a blush creeping onto her face.
The lobby of this hall was equipped with several special Pokéblock-making machines. Following the instruction manual to operate them was a simple operation.
Blue and the others had arrived a few hours earlier than Ash and had already made several batches.
"Mm, these Pokéblocks really are something good~"
Just then, Brock also walked over, holding a box of the same brown cubes in his hands. He occasionally tossed one into his mouth to chew, his expression one of amazement.
Although they were Pokémon food, the raw ingredients were various Berries, so there was no problem even if humans ate them.
