In the newly repaired Hoenn Pokémon Association headquarters, which had been damaged during the attack, a meeting was underway.
"Based on preliminary statistics, the Groudon and Kyogre incident caused catastrophic damage to coastal cities in the Hoenn region, with Sootopolis City bearing the brunt of it. The total direct economic loss amounts to hundreds of billions, with indirect losses reaching trillions."
"Traces of Team Rocket activity have been found across various Hoenn cities. Under the leadership of the former Pokémon Hunter, Hunter J, they are actively pursuing remnants of Team Magma and Team Aqua."
"According to the latest public opinion polls, more than half of Hoenn's residents believe the 'Tech Hunter' played a positive role in this event, saving the Hoenn League. Nearly a third remain neutral, while only a small percentage view the Tech Hunter's influence as potentially harmful to the region."
"Groudon and Kyogre have returned to slumber in their respective underwater caves. The masterminds behind this incident, Maxie and Archie, were captured by Elite Four Luo Yuan, and Giovanni. They are currently imprisoned. As for the Tech Hunter, we have yet to locate their whereabouts..."
At the head of the conference table, Steven was summarizing the recent developments using a PowerPoint presentation.
Seated around the table were the chairman of the Hoenn Pokémon Association, the Elite Four, eight Gym Leaders, and both Luo Yuan and Giovanni, who had resumed his identity as a Champion in the Kanto region.
