Chapter 1144: A Fireworks Display for the God of the Land

Sawyer subconsciously turned around and saw a man in a crisp, purple-black formal uniform speaking, his attire immaculate.
He had a slender, well-proportioned build and a handsome, distinguished face. His elegant, short silver hair framed his features, exuding an air of nobility and depth.
With his hands on his chin and a smile on his lips, he seemed to have quite enjoyed the previous battle between Sawyer and Grovyle.
"Ch-Ch... Champion Steven Stone!!?"
Sawyer recognized him, his mouth gaping so wide he could barely speak from nervousness.
"Hehe, I'm not the League Champion anymore. I'm just an ordinary person now," Steven Stone said with an easygoing smile, slowly walking over and reaching out to rub Grovyle's head.
His gaze then passed over the two of them to the wooden house standing at the edge, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
"Thank you for helping to protect this house," Steven Stone said suddenly.
His father was President Stone, who, from very early on, had worked with high intensity in the mines.
Later, he became the president of the largest corporation in the Hoenn Region, busy year-round with no time for his family.
One could say that Steven Stone had spent most of his childhood in this wooden house in Mossdeep City.
This was his hometown.
Although after becoming a Trainer, Steven Stone began to journey all over the world and rarely came back here.
He hadn't expected to encounter such an incident on his rare return today.
*It seems I'll have to find a few bodyguards to watch the house from now on...*
Thinking this, Steven Stone's gaze fell upon Sawyer and Grovyle.
"You and your partner are excellent. You share a very strong bond."
Then, as if remembering something, Steven Stone suddenly pulled a small cloth bag from his pocket.
He rummaged inside with his fingers before finally tossing a small, round bead from within to Sawyer.
"If it's you and your Grovyle, you might just be able to use this power~"
Sawyer stared at the glass orb in his palm, his heart pounding. The hands clutching it trembled slightly.
"This is... a Mega Stone?!"
"Oh? You recognize a Mega Stone?"
Steven Stone's interest was piqued, and he chuckled lightly.
Sawyer looked like a rookie Trainer; being able to recognize a Mega Stone was not common at all.
"Yes, Mr. Stone! I've seen one with a companion!" Sawyer hurriedly explained, his tone quite flustered.
Before he joined the team, Ash already had a Mega Stone for his Blaziken...
Later, Blue had given him a Sceptilite, making him incredibly envious.
Sawyer had even secretly memorized the patterns and details of the Sceptilite, planning to find one for himself in the future.
He never thought he would get one so soon!
Following Steven Stone's encouraging gaze, Sawyer held his breath and handed the Mega Stone to Grovyle.
"Grovyle, let's get stronger quickly, and then we can use this power together!!"
"Chah-baah!!" Grovyle let out a low roar, its eyes burning with equal fervor.
"What a wonderful bond~!"
Watching this scene, Steven Stone stroked his chin again, nodding with a light chuckle.
An image of a Trainer with an Electric Mouse Pokémon surfaced in his mind.
*These two youths are quite similar...*
However, Steven Stone did not enter his house. Instead, he turned and walked toward the eastern side of Mossdeep City.
"Mr. Stone, aren't you going home...?" Sawyer couldn't help but follow, asking with curiosity.
"No, my purpose for coming to Mossdeep City this time wasn't to return home..."
Steven Stone just shook his head and pointed in a certain direction.
Sawyer followed his gesture and saw, outside the city limits of Mossdeep City, a tall, purple building. Even from here, he could make out its faint shadow.
That seemed to be the same direction Ash and the others had gone to find the White Stone.
Sawyer immediately followed carefully behind Steven Stone, and the two walked off in that direction together.
At the same moment.
On the outskirts of Mossdeep City, in the first-floor lobby of the Mossdeep Space Center.
At this moment, all the Researchers from the entire building were gathered here, the crowd noisy and chaotic.
On the other side, several members clad in fiery red uniforms were also gathered, both men and women.
Their leader was a portly man shaped like a ball, with a stylish, short haircut with slanted bangs. His chubby face squeezed his eyes into mere slits.
"Hehe, we from Team Magma are just passing through today, and we'd like to ask you kind people at the Space Center for a little something~!"
Huoyan, a high-ranking executive of Team Magma, sneered, his lips curling into a mocking laugh.
Although it sounded like a polite request.
But despite his smiling, chubby appearance, when his eyes narrowed, he looked all the more ferocious.
"I hear you have a lot of extra fuel here... Coincidentally, our Team Magma is planning some charity projects recently and needs to set off some celebratory fireworks. I wonder if you could lend us a little fuel~?" he said with a wide smile.
His words instantly made the Researchers of the Space Center's faces turn livid.
They only had rocket fuel here, and he wanted to use it for fireworks?!
These people were nothing but a band of thieves, devoid of any logic!
"I'm sorry, members of Team Magma, but please leave at once!" the Director of the Space Center replied in a grim voice.
Seeing that the other side had no intention of leaving, and that many Team Magma members were even taking a step forward with cold smiles and an imposing momentum.
"Team Magma, are you planning to forcibly seize our precious research material today!?" the Director roared, trying to seize the moral high ground.
It was common knowledge that both Team Aqua and Team Magma, no matter what scams they pulled behind the scenes, were actually very concerned with their public image and corporate reputation.
Many people from the Space Center were holding up their phones, streaming the entire encounter live, in an attempt to force them to retreat.
"Hehe~ Team Magma has no intention of seizing anything by force. It's just that we're all doing good deeds. Are you saying that now that the Space Center has made more money over the years, you're going to ignore us common folk~!"
Huoyan disregarded all logic and even turned the tables on them.
The current Team Magma no longer needed to save face.
The Team Magma Boss, Maxie, had already obtained the Red Orb, which could establish a connection with Groudon.
Once Groudon officially returned to the Hoenn Region...
With the God of the Land backing them, who would care what the public thought of Team Magma?!
And today, Huoyan planned to snatch the high-purity rocket fuel here.
On the day the great Groudon returned, they, Team Magma, would detonate Mt. Chimney and present the God of the Land with the most magnificent fireworks display!
At that time, an ecstatic Groudon would surely grant Team Magma even greater approval!
"Hehe~! Hand over your fuel now~!"
Huoyan let out a savage laugh and took several more steps forward, his expression gradually becoming fierce and twisted.
