Chapter 1147: Splitting Up
"Well then, I'll be staying here until this matter is completely resolved."
Steven Stone looked at the Space Center Director and said in a low voice.
After all, there was no guarantee that people like Team Magma wouldn't come to cause trouble again.
And that dangerous woman...
Steven Stone raised an eyebrow. Zinnia, disguised as a Devon Corporation employee, had already tried to obstruct their plan. It was entirely possible she would come to sabotage the rocket launch in the coming days.
The Dimensional Transfer Device they had developed was now mounted on the back of his Skarmory.
The Skarmory was circling in the sky outside, about to descend. With its immense strength, there was no way anyone could intercept it.
"The living life energy we've extracted is only enough to power the device twice... which means we only have one chance for the upcoming experiment."
Steven Stone's expression was grave.
Indeed.
What Zinnia had said—the scenario where the meteorite was teleported to the Hoenn Region of another parallel universe, causing catastrophic disaster—was a possibility.
But it wasn't a certainty. There was also a high chance it would be sent to some inconsequential place.
However, they could barely protect themselves at this point. They could only hope that the other side of the dimensional teleportation was the vast, empty space, far away from any planet.
"In that case, the target for the first experimental teleportation can only be that."
The Director nodded.
If they only had one chance to teleport something, they would have to send a large quantity of warning materials, like text papers, engraved metal plates, and text fireworks.
Although they didn't know where these items would end up, they could only hope there was no one on the other side and that these warnings would be unnecessary.
Steven Stone and the Director discussed the many details on the side.
Seeing that the experiment with the Dimensional Transfer Device was about to begin, Ash and the others became very interested, intending to stay and see what would happen.
Perhaps the world connected by this dimensional link was the same one where Brother Red and Big Sister Blue had been before!
"..."
Even Red, who was silently observing from the screen, perked up his ears for once, filled with curiosity about what would happen next.
At that moment, however, the Director hurried away, seemingly to prepare something.
Steven Stone, on the other hand, turned to face Ash and his group.
He even placed a hand on Ash's shoulder.
"Then, I'll be counting on you, Ash..."
The others were completely baffled, but Ash quickly realized what Steven Stone was talking about.
The Dragon God, Rayquaza!
According to the guidance of the Draconid People, he was to summon the Dragon God Rayquaza and use its immense strength to destroy this disastrous meteorite in a single blow.
The plan of the Devon Corporation and the Mossdeep Space Center was, in fact, Plan B to the Rayquaza plan.
"Uhh..."
At this thought, Ash's expression turned weird.
It was said that when the meteorite's fall became imminent, someone from Meteor Falls would contact him.
But now, with the meteorite set to fall in ten days at the soonest, it felt as if he had been completely forgotten by them.
It all felt so unreliable...
"Beep beep!!"
However, just as this thought crossed his mind, a vibrating ring came from his pocket.
He pulled out his Pokédex and saw on the screen that the incoming call was from the Draconid People, whose information he had registered earlier.
"..."
Ash's face paled. This was getting a bit too much like metaphysics.
Bracing himself, he accepted the call on the Pokédex. A frail voice immediately came from the other end.
"Lord Dragon God Emissary, you remember this old one, don't you...?"
"I remember, I remember! You're the Great Elder from Meteor Falls."
Ash quickly replied. It seemed that this time, it wasn't just a scientific prediction.
Even metaphysics had come into play.
Two completely different methods, yet they both led to the same conclusion... This meteorite was truly destined to fall!
"This old one has been dreaming repeatedly of late, and the premonition in my mind grows stronger and stronger... This meteorite, large enough to destroy more than half of the Hoenn Region, is bound to fall within half a month!"
The Elderly Grandmother's solemn voice came through the phone.
The timing was more or less consistent with the Mossdeep Space Center's prediction.
Her words made Steven Stone and the others nearby prick up their ears as well, listening in with grave faces.
"So I implore you, Lord Dragon God Emissary, please head to Duskwater Town at once! The Draconid People stationed there will guide you to the Sky Pillar!!"
"Summon Lord Dragon God, fight alongside the Dragon God, and resolve this great crisis!!"
The rousing words sent a shiver of excitement through Ash.
That's right! This meant he would get to see Rayquaza soon!
Riding on Rayquaza's back, traversing through the high-altitude cloud layer, delivering a powerful strike to shatter the meteorite...
Just imagining such a scene made his blood boil with excitement!
"Beep!"
Soon, the Pokédex call ended.
Everyone's gaze fell upon Ash.
"The Sky Pillar... that sounds like an ancient place," Steven Stone mused, stroking his chin as he pondered the key term.
Wallace was probably more knowledgeable about that place; Steven Stone himself had mostly traveled across the western continent of the Hoenn Region.
The group had known about the Meteor Falls matter for a while, so while they were surprised, they quickly accepted the situation.
"Dragon God? Rayquaza?"
Sawyer, however, was completely frozen in place.
He looked at Ash as if he were staring at a monster.
Just how many more secrets did he have that I don't know about?!
It's just one thing after another, it never ends, does it?!
Afterward, Ash's group rested at the Mossdeep Space Center for a day, not in a hurry to head to Duskwater Town.
During that time, Steven Stone's Skarmory descended from the sky, carrying a massive, intricate machine, which appeared to be the Dimensional Transfer Device developed by the Devon Corporation.
Once installed, it seemed the experiment could begin at any moment.
It's worth mentioning that during the night, the pink, heart-patterned Pokémon Egg Brock was carrying suddenly hatched.
A small and cute Pokémon emerged. It had a tender pink, orb-like body, a lower body that looked like it was wearing pink long johns, and it was holding a stone that was similar in appearance to an egg.
Happiny, the unevolved form of Chansey.
A great support healer for the team. It could be said that this Pokémon was an extremely good match for Brock.
The next morning.
On the cliff behind the Mossdeep Space Center, any further forward led down to the beach and the ocean at the island's edge.
"Alright, Ash, do your best!"
Brock patted Ash's shoulder, offering encouragement.
From now on, the four of them would be splitting up.
He and Sawyer would stay here to assist Mr. Steven Stone.
Meanwhile, Ash and Blue would head to Duskwater Town, and from there to the Sky Pillar, where it was said in legend one could communicate with Rayquaza.
Once this matter was settled, they would all rendezvous in Sootopolis City, the location of the eighth Gym.
"When the time comes, you absolutely have to tell me what Rayquaza looks like!"
Sawyer chimed in with an excited request.
After all, the strength of his strongest Pokémon, Grovyle, was still somewhat lacking... his only choice was to stay behind and provide support.
