Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 354 Leo Minor Meteor Shower

According to Hoenn TV, a meteor shower from the constellation Leo Minor will grace Earth in November of this year. This meteor shower is said to be a once-in-a-millennium event, and the Green Ridge Cosmic Center will open its observation deck to provide the best viewing experience.

"Fire Fox, shall we go watch the meteor shower then?"

"Fu~"

A month has passed since Link won the Rainbow Tournament. As the end of September approaches and the weather gradually turns cooler, Link, who used to travel around with the Pokémon, has started to stay at his own ranch instead of wandering around.

There are many ranch elves, and no suitable helpers have been found yet, so he and the elves mostly have to solve various problems on their own.

Life is busy and fulfilling, like someone who has retired and is now at home.

Such a state of mind is somewhat unambitious for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, so Link did not forget to study and exercise.

He still had strong self-control at this stage.

She didn't slack off in battles either. Thanks to the two materials that Chika found in her family's antiques, she entered the Dreamland and played Langrisser battles quite a bit after coming to the Kanto region with Dr. Yamanashi.

As times change, the champion's playing style and strength are constantly improving.

With both sides' Pokémon training levels capped at the same level, even Link couldn't guarantee a permanent strategic advantage. The rapidly growing Cynthia quickly found herself trading blows with him in Langrisser.

Although he still holds the overall advantage, the other champions are not to be underestimated... Even Ash, who has returned from the Pokémon world, has recently been pulling off some amazing feats in battles.

This kind of battle is more interesting for him.

As for Meng Tianlian's battle.

Because the team has been somewhat agitated by the constant disruption caused by the three dogs, the task force has decided to take a break and relax for a while.

As Awakening Candy continuously enhances the strength of Pokémon like Fennekin, Link has made some progress, but it will be difficult to implement in the short term.

It feels like if this drags on any longer, they'll soon be able to win by sheer numbers... Let's not even talk about it.

Apart from that, there hasn't been anything particularly noteworthy lately.

With the Aura Warriors Festival just around the corner, Link decided not to wander around aimlessly.

However, Steven, who rushed to Kanto after someone finally reappeared in the Poké Ball management system, clearly didn't think so.

"Xiaolin, I'm not specifically recommending that you go see the Leonid meteor shower, but I want to say that there's a hidden story behind this 'once-in-a-millennium' meteor shower."

"Fu?"

Hidden secrets?

Firefox guessed that this might be related to the meteorites that fell on this planet in the previous two millennia.

"Is it because of the meteorite?" Link translated.

Daigo nodded; that was indeed the case.

According to observations from the Green Ridge Space Center, this Leonid meteor shower was accompanied by an unprecedentedly large meteorite.

The results have recently been calculated, and there is a 100% chance that this meteorite will hit Earth, and a 63% chance that it will fall in the Hoenn region.

This doesn't sound good. Link subconsciously recalled the music from his battle with the Inheritor.

Upon hearing this, the fire fox exclaimed in surprise, "Fu!"

Daigo didn't understand at all, but explained the purpose of his visit: "Hey, Kobayashi, what are your thoughts?"

"Um……"

Link pondered for a long time, then said, "How about we build a planetary engine to push the Earth and the Moon to other locations?"

It's just a giant meteorite, we can just dodge it, right?

Whether to stay on the new track or return to the original track is a question for others to consider.

However, even if things can return to normal, the shift in the Earth's axis is still inevitable, which may lead to problems such as an ice age.
"It does sound feasible, but unfortunately, human technology is not yet capable of doing so. It would be too late to start building a device that can propel a planet now."

Daigo shook his head regretfully, but he still quite liked this idea of ​​advancing the planet.

"Boni?"

Why don't we just break that meteorite into pieces?

"How about smashing the Gigantamax meteorite?"

"Unfortunately, no alliance currently possesses the capability to shatter such a large meteorite in space."

Indeed, even the Hoenn League, which is arguably the strongest in terms of strength, cannot move normally in space after its Primal Reversion, as neither Kyogre nor Groudon can.

The universe has very little natural energy, making it unsuitable for these two spirits to perform well.

Upon hearing this, Link could only shrug. He had no other options besides going to the Sky Staircase in the Pokémon world and asking Rayquaza for help.

"Well, there's actually another way of thinking."

After a pause, he suddenly realized, "In the weightless environment of space, even a small force can drastically change the trajectory of a meteorite. Although Groudon and Kyogre cannot exert their full power in space, Mewtwo, who is proficient in psychic abilities, might be able to use its psychic powers to change the trajectory of a Gigantamax meteorite."

"Mewtwo..."

Steven recalled the humanoid Pokémon beside the boy when he intercepted Kyogre. Its powerful psychic abilities were even able to intercept Kyogre's "Root Pulse" before it was weakened into its restricted form by the Crimson Orb.

If it were this very spirit, it might actually be able to prevent Earth's gravity from attracting meteorites in space, causing them to deviate from Earth and fly to other places!

"That's right! Maybe it really can do it!"

Seeing that the other party looked like they were about to go find the equally elusive Crimson, Link, who was just casually offering advice, subconsciously asked, "If that doesn't work, what are you planning to do?"

Upon hearing this, Daigo gave a serious answer—a dimensional teleportation device.

In fact, the Green Ridge Space Center calculated long ago that the probability of a supergiant meteorite hitting Earth was unusually high.

Two thousand years ago, a meteorite struck Meteor Falls. One thousand years ago, a meteorite struck Liuli City.

(By the way, the meteorite that struck Galar three thousand years ago.)
Therefore, a thousand years ago, the Meteor People made a prophecy that an exceptionally large meteorite would strike this planet.

Considering the past of the Hoenn region... Steven and Devon Corporation referenced the principles of the ultimate weapon from the Kalos region three thousand years ago and planned to research a way to send Gigantamax meteors to another dimension using massive amounts of energy.

"The ultimate weapon?" Link asked curiously. "Are you planning to shatter the Gigantamax meteorite?"

Daigo shook his head, realizing that replicating the ultimate weapon in this era was far too dangerous.

Therefore, they only borrowed the technology of converting life force into energy, transforming the life energy of the elves into clean, infinite energy. Upon hearing this, the fire fox jumped onto the coffee table.

"Fu!"

Even Daigo, who couldn't understand the language of the spirits, could understand what the other party meant at that moment.

"All experiments were conducted with the knowledge and consent of the elves... If we hadn't done so, both elves and humans could have been wiped out if the meteorite had hit the Earth."

This is something that can't be helped.

It's not that humans want to use the power of the spirits to gain energy; the truth is, if they didn't, we might all be doomed.

However, due to some recent events, Daigo is actually a bit confused, which is why he came to Link to ask for advice.

After all, records show that Link has even ridden Lugia in private, so he might have some connections and could probably get some help from others.

However, after Daigo left, Link actually thought of another connection that might solve this problem.

Three thousand years ago, a meteorite from outer space also fell in the Galar region, and an elf saved humans and elves from the threat of the meteorite.

That was the legendary king of the Galar region—the Rachelon.

"Perhaps we can use this opportunity to restore the strength of the Raiden through the faith of the Hoenn people?"

Link couldn't help but analyze the feasibility of this matter and decided to talk to King Rae-King tonight.

Meanwhile, Evil Spirit and Fire Fox were somewhat worried about the so-called "unlimited energy".

It sounds rather strange to obtain energy from the life force of elves and then use it to benefit both humans and elves.

"Fu~"

The Fire Fox wanted Polygon to investigate Devon Corporation's internal affairs to gain a more detailed understanding of what they had been doing.

However, before that, Xiaoduo had already collected a lot of relevant information.

The '∞ Energy' project predates the threat of the Gigantamax Meteorite to the Hoenn region. It is said that the former president of Devon Corporation, the grandfather of President Zvoich, was inspired by Kalos's ultimate weapon and believed that this enormous energy could be used to benefit humans and Pokémon.

"Starting from this point, Devon Corporation developed a technology that converts life energy into ∞ energy, thereby seizing market share and ultimately winning the business war with Corydalis Corporation."

"In fact, the submarine 'Haiyuan-1' that we were on previously used this type of energy."

Considering the order of events, the claim that infinite energy was used to save Hoenn is not entirely accurate.

"Boni?"

In other words, did Devon use this technology for its own selfish purposes and then use this opportunity to justify it?
"Not entirely. I think directly converting life energy into infinite energy and generating electricity by eating tree fruits are essentially the same, except that the former addresses the root cause more directly?"

As long as it doesn't harm the elves, Link felt it wasn't much different from having Electivire generate electricity for the city: "As long as it's legally reasonable and compliant, and the elves are informed and give their consent, the only remaining issue seems to be whether it involves humanitarian concerns..."

It sounds reasonable, and Fire Fox doesn't completely disagree.

In the current coexistence model between humans and elves, it is indeed the elves who provide support in terms of energy and physical strength.

Wait, what exactly have humans provided?
Although the Fiery Fox also felt very happy to be with its trainer, what exactly have humans brought to Pokémon overall?
Technology, innovative thinking, leadership that combines different races and manages vast resources, and a stable life without the worry of survival crises.

If it's not human, it seems that no elf can actually do this.

Porygon suddenly raised a question: "Actually, some people are worried about whether there are problems with the current way humans and elves coexist. That is, Dr. Fortu from the Padia region will invent a time machine in the near future and summon future elves to the present era of humans."

Paradox Pokémon come from the ancient and the future respectively; the ancient ones are primitive and ferocious, while the future ones are cold and cruel.

Dr. Futu, who summoned the future spirits to the present using a time machine, soon discovered that their unknown power, evolved to its ultimate form, was far too powerful.

But rather than "evolving to the extreme," the future elves are more like weapons for combat, possessing almost no biological characteristics.

Some future Pokémon, when they lose their ability to fight, can even have their heads rotate 720 degrees or fall off and be damaged.

This is truly worrying; what will become of humans, elves, and the world in the future?

If technology continues to develop and desires expand infinitely, will the answer to the evolution of elves be what future species will look like?
This is so cyberpunk.

"Thinking about it carefully, it is indeed quite worrying. Let's treat this matter with caution." Link really wasn't prepared to accept a cyberpunk Pokémon world.

Perhaps the Queen of the Lace Crown, who can foresee the future, will know how the future will unfold.

"Bagogo?"

Just then, Talebagos, who was taking a nap on the windowsill, suddenly realized something very strange.

If the Paradox Spirits were summoned to the present from ancient times and the future by the two human doctors respectively, then why were their kind already present in the Padia Crater before that?
I think I heard a trainer mention it once before, saying that a couple hundred years ago, human explorers discovered its kind and Paradox Pokémon in the giant crater in Zone Zero.

"That's because the power of the terrestrial crystal itself also has the power to interfere with spacetime. Don't forget how many terrestrial crystals are buried underground in Zone Zero. Who knows what will happen if such a huge amount of terrestrial crystal power is overloaded?"

In terms of results.

The paradoxical species that Hezer discovered in Zone Zero could only be creatures summoned to the modern era by the distortion of spacetime by the power of the Taijing.

“Hey…”

Talebagos was puzzled but felt something was off.

Seeing this, the polygonal beast suggested, "Why don't we give it a try? Anyway, we have the Great Vajra Jewel, so even if something unexpected happens, we can stabilize spacetime."

"Fu!"

"Shall we take a look at the humans and spirits of the future?"

Link murmured. He was indeed very curious and had no reason to object.

Talebagos pondered for a moment, then decided to give it a try. At worst, he could simply use "Zeroing Out" to eliminate the trouble.

So he and the elves went outdoors to an open area on the edge of the pasture.

※belike
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Talebages transformed into its Crystal form, and then, with the help of its trainer, completed its Crystallization, stacking itself on top of itself to form the shape of a turtle tower.

The abnormally surging power of the Taijing spread rapidly, even disrupting the stability of spacetime.

In the afternoon, a misty fog inexplicably spread across the surface of Swan Lake, opening the gate to another dimension and revealing a brilliant blue light.

Link was overjoyed to see that Talebagos could actually warp spacetime on his own.

Once upon a time, the turtle, who was prone to energy overload and getting beaten up, has finally become much more reliable.
