Xiao Mao watched from where he stood until Xijiana boarded the transport ship and gradually disappeared from sight before returning to the hotel.
The hotel belongs to Devon Corporation. Over the past two days, they have converted the presidential suite into a command center and moved in a machine that can detect unlimited energy.
As soon as the Sea Violet shows fluctuations of infinite energy, it will be detected immediately.
Currently, the screen in the command center displays a map with a red dot moving on it. This red dot is very close to Kaina City and is moving towards Route 108. This red dot is the transport ship.
It's normal for transport ships to have GPS tracking; even the guards at Hai Zijina can't disable the GPS on them.
...!
On the sea.
On the Sea Aster platform on Route 108, machines on the platform are collecting data from the seabed.
A cargo ship loaded with supplies was sailing towards them, and the staff on the platform knew it was a cargo ship and came to meet it.
After the transport ship came to a stop, the leader of the staff who came to pick them up immediately jumped onto the deck of the transport ship and shouted excitedly, "Luci, I'm so glad you've come! Did you buy everything I wanted?"
"Here it is! The goods you requested." Lu Qi was prepared and tossed a black plastic bag to the man.
Lu Qi is the captain of the transport ship, specifically tasked with delivering supplies to Hai Zijin.
"Ah! Not bad, we have enough food for this week." The man immediately pulled a long cardboard box from the bag, which was full of cigarettes.
The man tore open the box, took out a pack of cigarettes, and quickly lit one for himself, which relieved the gloom on his face considerably.
The staff on the Sea Violet all became familiar with Lu Qi and had a good relationship with him. There was nothing for sale at sea, especially since the Sea Violet was conducting a secret research project. So the workers lived on the Sea Violet. The company provided accommodation and three meals a day, but nothing else.
So, when ordinary employees at Hai Zijing needed cigarettes, they would ask Lu Qi to help them buy them. Lu Qi would buy a bunch of cigarettes and deliver them to them every week. Over time, the two became familiar with each other.
At this moment, Higana also came out of the cabin and joined the other crew members in carrying supplies. Because she was too short, she was quickly spotted.
The man smoking saw Xijiana and asked in confusion, "Hey little girl, wait a minute."
Higana was startled and stood frozen in place.
"Is something wrong, Uncle?" Xijiana asked, feigning composure.
Seeing this, Lu Qi quickly said, "Aben, she's my niece, she came to help me."
"Niece, are you really willing to let your niece work at sea?" the man named Aben asked in surprise.
Working at sea is very tough, and most sailors are men; there are very few female sailors.
"I'm just here to experience it. I'll definitely be transferred to logistics later. Higana, you can go ahead and get busy," Lu Qi said nonchalantly.
"Oh!"
Higana immediately followed the crew members away.
Aben glanced at Xijiana and noticed that she was dark-skinned and thin, clearly a child who grew up in the village, so he didn't pay much attention to her.
And Xijiana successfully joined the Shanghai Zijing platform.
Upon reaching the Sea Purple Jasmine, Higana immediately surveyed the buildings on the platform and noticed a cylindrical, tower-like structure. The exterior of the building was entirely made of steel, which looked quite strange and slightly different from the resource-gathering buildings next to it.
"Strange, why do I feel like there's a familiar smell in that building?" Higana thought to herself.
"Higana, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and catch up," a crew member called out.
"Oh!"
Higana nodded and quickly followed, entering the cafeteria's storage room.
Higana also placed a detector under a fire hydrant in the passageway leading to the warehouse, and then continued to move other things.
Since they were delivering supplies, the people passing by didn't find it strange and generally kept an eye on them.
After leaving the cafeteria, Xijiana looked at the round tower in the distance and felt that there was something inside. Seeing that there was no one around, she immediately went over.
"The guards are so lax; it's nowhere near as strict as Daigo described." Higana looked at the round tower in front of her. She had gotten quite close, but hadn't found anyone along the way.
127 Higana surveyed the round tower building before her, located the safe passage, and then sneaked inside.
Upon entering the safety passage, Higanbana immediately looked around for surveillance cameras. Finding none, she felt relieved and took a Poké Ball from her pocket and turned it on.
Baton!
"Giggle!"
The Buzzbat emerged from the Poké Ball.
"Buzzbat, use your ultrasonic waves to sense if there's anyone in the passage. If there is, tell me immediately," Higana said.
"Giggle!"
The buzzing bat nodded, emitting extremely low sound waves. It used the feedback from the sound waves to determine if anyone was in the safety passage. Only after confirming that no one was in the passage would Higana continue forward, and then casually attach an energy detector to the inside of the pipe.
....!
at this time.
In Kaina City.
Daigo, Michael, and Gary were all in the room, waiting for Higanbana to return safely after completing her mission. They were unaware that Higanbana had not followed the plan and had instead begun to act on her own.
"Daigo-san, Michael-san, something terrible has happened! Kyogre has been spotted in waters 124, and it's affecting the climate in the area, triggering a tsunami!" Kuroda suddenly burst into the room, delivering this horrifying news.
407: Kyogre vs. Groudon! Shyvana is in trouble!
"What! Why would Kyogre do that?" Mikuri stood up in shock.
Compared to the matter of the sea violet, the matter of Kyogre is more important. Last time Kyogre unleashed its power, it submerged many islands.
In the Hoenn region, every champion has basically dealt with matters centered around the two Pokémon, Kyogre and Groudon.
"It's unclear at the moment. The information we got from the Alliance's special investigation team suggests that it was something the Valley Fleet did, but we don't know the specifics. All we know is that Kyogre has been active in area 124," Kuroda replied.
Gary immediately realized what was going on. It must be a plot development between Team Magma and Team Aqua, and they wanted to exchange the ancient Pokémon in the hands of their rival organization.
Kyogre has been controlled by Archie, but Groudon is not yet under control. However, Groudon will awaken later and take care of Kyogre, so there's not much to worry about.
The key issue is that Steven and Wallace don't know the final outcome of this matter; they currently only believe that dealing with Kyogre is the most important thing.
"Mikuri, I'm leaving this to you. I'm going to make a trip." Daigo immediately stood up and said, "Kuroda, prepare the helicopter."
"Yes!"
Kuroda immediately went out to prepare.
"Daiwu, are you sure you can manage alone? That's Kyogre," Mikuri asked worriedly.
As a member of the Crypt City, Mikuri was well aware of Kyogre's power; it was a Pokémon that no human could defeat, not even the Champion.
"Even if it doesn't work, it will work. Don't worry, I'll act according to the situation and won't do anything reckless." After saying that, Daigo got up and left.
"These are truly troublesome times..." Mikuri shook his head helplessly as he watched Daigo leave.
The problems at Big Aster were already a headache enough, and now Gyogre is causing trouble too. It's like all the problems have piled up at once.
Mikkel is also a bit frustrated. As the league champion, he can't do anything. The main problem is that Hai Zijin hasn't found any evidence, so he can only wait.
Now that Kyogre has started causing trouble again, Wallace can only watch helplessly. Even if he believes in Steven's abilities, it is, after all, Kyogre.
"Hmm? Why is this kid so calm?"
Mikoli was feeling down when he noticed that Shigeru looked completely calm, as if he didn't care about Kyogre at all. Could it be that people from other regions didn't know how terrifying Kyogre was?
"Xiao Mao," Mikoli called out.
"Hmm? Is something the matter?" Xiao Mao asked.
“Shigeru, do you know Kyogre?” Mikkuri asked.
“I know,” Gary replied. “Kyogre is an ancient Pokémon, and it’s said that it created the ocean.”
"Then you should also know the dangers of Kyogre."
"I have some understanding, but since it's already happened, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it," Xiao Mao said.
Gary wasn't worried about the situation in waters 124 at all. With Groudon to back him up, there was absolutely no need for him to go.
Especially since the place where Kyogre and Groudon fought was uninhabited and the battle wasn't large-scale, Kyogre only took one hit from Solar Beam and recovered quickly, so there's no need to worry.
It's possible that something truly significant will happen in the Sea of Violet right now, because Shigeru remembers that at the beginning of a certain movie, Rayquaza was captured by humans, but he doesn't know who captured it.
The infinite energy that Daigo mentioned earlier is related to Rayquaza.
To put it simply, infinite energy is converted from life energy, and Rayquaza can convert life energy into infinite energy. Not only can it be converted from life energy, but the energy in meteorites can also be converted into infinite energy, but only Rayquaza can do this.
Considering that Rayquaza in the anime world was captured by humans, Shigeru couldn't help but wonder if it was the Rayquaza captured by the Great Sage Company.
Just as Shigeru was about to say something, he suddenly felt a huge change in his surroundings. He found himself in an environment surrounded by iron walls, and he happened to see a middle-aged man wearing a black Team Rocket uniform standing in front of him.
The middle-aged man was facing Xiao Mao with a fierce expression. His mouth was opening and closing, but Xiao Mao couldn't hear what the man was saying. However, he could tell that the man's tone was unfriendly. Then, the scene turned to the right and saw Xi Jiana, who was already bound by iron rings. He also saw a green body that looked like a flying dragon next to Xi Jiana. It was Rayquaza.
Rayquaza was unconscious, with steel rings around its body and mechanical arms gripping its various points of leverage.
"Oh no! Something's happened to Higana!" Xiao Mao sat up in shock, and the illusions around him immediately disappeared.
"Xiao Mao, what did you say?!" Mikoli asked in surprise.
Just now, when Shigeru suddenly stared blankly, Mikoli thought that Shigeru had suddenly thought of something and didn't disturb him. Now that Shigeru suddenly said that something had happened to Higana, Mikoli was a little confused.
"...I just saw the footage Latios sent me. Cici was captured by people on Mauville, and Team Rocket is also on Mauville. They even captured Rayquaza," Gary quickly said.
"What did you say! They captured Rayquaza!!" Wallace was shocked. Rayquaza was a Pokémon that was even stronger than Kyogre and Groudon. The Grand Violet Company had actually captured Rayquaza.
“Yes, this morning I gave Latios to Higanbana for self-defense. Just now, Latios sent me an illusion,” Gary said.
"Wait, how come you have Latios?!" Mikuri had no idea that Gary had also captured Latios.
Not to mention Wallace, even Steven didn't know that Gary had captured Latios.
"Never mind that for now, we need to get to the Sea Violet as soon as possible. If we're late, Xijiana will be in danger. Are you coming with me?" Xiaomao asked.
“Let’s go, we’ll take a helicopter,” Mikkel said.
"Why take a helicopter? Let's just ride the elves there," said Gary.
Mikoli said awkwardly, "I only have Water-type Pokémon, none of them can fly."
"Don't you have any Big-headed Gulls?" Shigeru asked, puzzled.
"No ah."
