Chapter 314: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [314] [40 PS]
Five minutes earlier, while Luo Yuan and Rayquaza battled atop Sky Pillar...
At the Mossdeep Space Center—
Upon learning of Team Magma and Team Aqua's plans to awaken Groudon and Kyogre, the Hoenn League had quickly formed an emergency response team.
The team, led personally by the Hoenn Champion Steven Stone, utilized the Mossdeep Space Center's satellite network to track Groudon and Kyogre's movements. Their goal was to respond at the first sign of trouble.
Moments ago, the satellites detected an unusual energy surge.
"Mr. Stone, we've picked up large-scale meteor activity in the southern sea. Rayquaza's energy signature has also been detected!" a researcher reported.
Steven's brows furrowed. "Rayquaza?"
As Hoenn's Champion and the heir to the Devon Corporation—one of the key entities that had once attempted to capture Rayquaza—Steven was well-acquainted with the legendary Pokémon.
If his memory served him, Rayquaza had rarely shown itself since it escaped the League's research facility years ago.
For it to suddenly become active now... could it be sensing something?
Steven hypothesized that Rayquaza might have foreseen the impending awakening of Groudon and Kyogre. After all, Hoenn's history was marked by numerous clashes between the two legendary Pokémon, with Rayquaza consistently stepping in to mediate.
