"Look, that guy's Poké Ball and hat are floating."
"Probably some psychic practicing. We're not far from Mossdeep City anyway."
In the public lounge area, Mewtwo's Poké Ball and Red's hat floated in the air before Ash, creating a somewhat bizarre scene.
But right now, Ash was more concerned about…
How to get back?!
He had already collected seven badges and had no intention of letting half a year's hard work go to waste.
"Speaking of which, Senior Mewtwo, you should be an even match for the Dragon God Leader… why don't you do what he did and just tear open a path back?" Ash asked tentatively.
The first time he saw the pitch-black Rayquaza at the Sky Pillar, it had displayed a tyrannical power, forcibly tearing a fissure open in the sky.
"I would need to practice that..."
The ever-proud Mewtwo did not agree outright.
With a little practice, it probably wouldn't be a problem for him.
"But the key is, it's very difficult for me to find the path to a specific world..."
Including this one, there were at least three parallel universes.
Rayquaza could find its way because of the strong pull the energy meteorite had on it, but the original world held no special guidance for Mewtwo.
Traveling randomly could lead him who-knows-where.
"So that won't work either..."
Ash crossed his arms, a look of confusion on his face.
It seemed the most reliable plan was to find Rayquaza and ask for its help to return to his original world.
After this adventure, he felt he had already formed a Bond with it.
But Rayquaza had gone off to apprehend what it called the "alien monkey," and there was no telling where it was now…
"If I could find Deoxys, I could probably find Rayquaza."
Ash was just thinking aloud. That Deoxys, hidden in the center of a meteorite and infiltrating the planet, had an unknown purpose, and tracking it down would surely be even more difficult.
"Dee dee. An image of Deoxys was captured in LaRousse City two days ago."
Just then, the Pokédex suddenly made its presence known.
"LaRousse City?"
Ash was taken aback and subconsciously tapped the Pokédex's screen.
It showed a blurry shadow, something that seemed to have streaked across the sky at high speed.
But one could just barely make out the afterimage: a reddish-brown, humanoid Pokémon, as strange as an alien.
"There's actually information on it?"
Ash was stunned. Was Deoxys a publicly known Pokémon in this world?
One day ago, meaning it was a local Deoxys?
He hurriedly searched online for related information.
After some research, Ash finally understood the situation.
Even in this world, Deoxys was an extremely rare Pokémon.
But three years ago, a Pokémon Professor named Lund was conducting research on the polar ice cap when he inadvertently witnessed a Deoxys falling to the planet inside a meteorite.
Following close behind was Rayquaza.
Perhaps every Rayquaza in the universe shared the same brain.
The two Pokémon immediately engaged in a fierce battle in the sky above the polar region.
The battle naturally ended with Rayquaza emerging victorious.
As for that Deoxys, it was blasted into smithereens by one of Rayquaza's attacks and vanished.
Yet now, one day ago, an image of Deoxys had been automatically captured in LaRousse City, where Professor Lund resided.
"Another native Rayquaza..."
Ash's brow furrowed. He felt like he had an unusual affinity with the Dragon God lately.
The frequency of these encounters was truly much higher than that of Caterpie.
Putting away his Pokédex, Ash's gaze sharpened, his mind made up.
First, he would head to this LaRousse City. Perhaps Rayquaza would also follow the trail to this city.
Thus, Ash recalled all his Pokémon, took the grayish-white Pikachu with him, and slowly walked out of the Lilycove City Pokémon Center.
He was now fully recovered!
The Pokémon Center was quite noisy, with people seeming to discuss something.
Listening closely, Ash even learned an interesting tidbit.
Apparently, about ten days ago, in the sky over the sea east of Lilycove City, massive fireworks had appeared out of thin air.
The exploding fireworks gradually formed a giant, text-based message.
"Ten days from now, a giant meteorite will fall here. All nearby humans and Pokémon, please prepare to evacuate."
This firework message had startled quite a few people and caused a considerable panic.
However, the neighboring Mossdeep Space Center immediately came forward to debunk the rumor, stating that it was absolutely impossible for any meteorite to appear.
When the agreed-upon time arrived, which was yesterday...
Nothing happened.
Except that at night, a terrifying twister had suddenly swept through at a high altitude, and some rubble had fallen.
"It was probably just a prank by Team Aqua or Team Magma."
In the end, the blame was just thrown onto the local Team Aqua and Team Magma.
Ash: "..."
Why does this story sound a little familiar...
"Voo~~"
A short while later, Latias had transformed back into its dragon form. Its streamlined body soared through the sky, with air currents rushing past on both sides.
Ash rode on Latias's back, using his Pokédex to learn about LaRousse City.
It was an enormous island city north of Mossdeep City, particularly famous throughout the Hoenn Region as a high-tech smart city.
"There's another city near Mossdeep City?"
Ash remembered that in his original world, the area north of Mossdeep City was just an empty expanse of sea.
"Dee dee. LaRousse City is most famous for two things. First is the city's high degree of automation; intelligent robots are available to handle almost any task."
"The second is the city's Battle Tower. By achieving a continuous win streak in battles, one can ascend to the top of the tower, earning not only great honor but also precious rewards. This attracts countless trainers from the Hoenn Region to come and challenge the climb."
As the Pokédex explained the information on LaRousse City, the term "Battle Tower" immediately piqued Ash's interest.
This is a battle city, too?
"Dee dee. Not only that, but every weekend, the Battle Tower will invite a Celebrity Trainer to accept a challenge from the top-ranked contestant of the week for a special Exhibition Match."
"A Celebrity Trainer?"
Ash subconsciously checked the time. Today was Friday, which meant the match was in two days.
"So who's this week's Celebrity Trainer?" he asked instinctively.
"Dee dee. This week's Celebrity Trainer is—Juan from Sootopolis City, a Gym Leader who specializes in Water-type Pokémon battles."
Ash: "!?"
Isn't this a bit of a coincidence?
He was just missing his last badge, and now the target was going to be in LaRousse City, where he was headed?
"I just don't know if the badges from the two worlds are interchangeable..."
At this thought, Ash shook his head, no longer hesitating.
Whatever, I'll just go win it since it's on the way!
"Voo voo~~!"
Sensing its trainer's Battle Intent, the Latias beneath him let out a loud cry, its flying speed suddenly increasing by a notch!
