Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

Upon hearing what Mizuki said, one of the 3S officers of Fleet Aqua immediately replied on the other end of the phone:

"Chief of the Water Tree, we have arrived at the Chimney Crater with the equipment. Izumi is leading Professor Solans and the [Gulan Meteorite] here."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the smokestack volcano will soon become an extinct volcano."

Upon hearing Di's report, Shui Wutong nodded in satisfaction:

"I sent all of you 3S cadres on this mission to ensure everything goes smoothly. When you return successfully, I will personally commend you!"

Upon receiving affirmation from the leader he was loyal to, Di was extremely excited: "Yes, Leader Shui Wutong."

After Shui Wutong hung up the phone, Di looked up at the sky and saw two ultrasonic larvae falling from the sky.

Beneath the ultrasonic larva was a sexy, wavy-haired young woman and a middle-aged man wearing an archaeological hat, with a large nose and an honest-looking appearance.

They are Izumi, one of the 3S officers of the Water Fleet, and Professor Solans, whom Tear and Water Goose were referring to in their reports.

Di took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with Professor Solans, who had an honest-looking face:

"Welcome, Professor Solans. I am one of the 3S officers of Fleet Aqua, beep."

Solans gave a brief, polite response, then turned his gaze to a massive device beside the crater:

"Is this the device that can temporarily stop volcanic activity and even cause sea levels to rise?"

Di nodded:

"Yes, the sea level in Hoenn has been continuously decreasing. As the protectors of the ocean, the source of life, we must stop this from happening."

Professor Solans was visibly excited upon hearing this: "Your work is truly magnificent and admirable."

Di smiled and shook his head:

“Our device is exerting an effect on the volcanic core, gradually stopping the volcanic activity. However, Yantushan is still an active volcano, and the energy of the device is not enough to suppress all volcanic activity.”

Upon hearing the beep, Professor Solans immediately replied:

"So you need the [meteorites from outer space] that I lead the team to mine, and the [technology] to extract energy from them, right?"

Professor Solans voluntarily placed his personal bag on the ground and took out a piece of ore that shimmered with a faint purple light.

Upon seeing this strangely shaped meteorite, both officers of the Water Fleet, Di and Quan, showed a hint of excitement in their eyes.

Di murmured to himself, "Is this the [Gulan Meteorite] that flew from space? It's so beautiful, I can already feel the infinite power contained within it."

Soon, Di snapped out of her frenzy after seeing the meteorite.

He looked at Professor Solans, his face full of a kind smile:

“Based on the blueprints sent by the professor, we have already added equipment to the central area. You see.”

After observing it for a while, Professor Solans nodded repeatedly: "Yes, with it, we should be able to convert the energy of the meteorite into the energy of the device."

Looking at Professor Solans, who was engrossed in his work, Di curled his lip in disdain.

This idiot professor is only of some use in things like this. In order to obtain the [Gulan Meteorite], the Aqua Team even had to sponsor his research under the guise of research funds.

But the outcome was good in the end. He just made up some words and the man believed him, and he eagerly came to help them complete the operation to extinguish the smoke from the mountain.

Once this operation is complete, professors who are only immersed in their own research will no longer be of any use.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

"Beep, there seems to be a problem here, come quick," Professor Solans called from afar.

Upon hearing this, the fierce look in Di's eyes vanished, replaced by a sunny smile.

Hmph, but for now, let me squeeze every last drop of value out of you, Professor Solans.

“Okay, Professor Solans, I’m coming right now.”

......

The day before Team Aqua's operation began, in Lilycove City, Lu An, who had bought four tickets to the Master-level Grand Contest, was leading the three little ones to watch the competition.

However, the side of the Grand Contest venue was packed with people.

Why are there so many people?

Lu An was somewhat puzzled. Although the Grand Contest was very popular in Hoenn, judging from the way these people gathered around, it didn't seem like they were there to watch the Grand Contest, but rather that they were waiting for someone.

From a distance, Lu An could vaguely see that the group of people were holding up signs with words such as "Liu Ji" and "Tanabata Bluebird" and pictures on them.

"That is......"

Lu An suddenly realized who these enthusiastic fans were waiting for.

Just then, the previously relatively quiet, enthusiastic fans suddenly became agitated, pushing and shoving each other while shouting:

"Ryuhime, look over here! Look over here, Ryuhime!"

"Ryuhime, please sign your name for me!"

"Ah, so beautiful! Ryuhime, I love you!"

Amidst the enthusiastic screams of the fans, a girl with green hair and dressed in a very youthful and beautiful style walked out of the passage.

Protected by bodyguards, she waved and signed autographs for her fans as she prepared to leave through the passageway.

"It really is her, Rukia."

A look of realization flashed across Lu An's eyes.

Rukia, the niece of Hoenn Champion-level Trainer Wallace, is a Coordinator and Contest Idol, and is very popular in the Hoenn continent.

This can be seen from the number of fans who surrounded the area in layers.

When Lu An was on a mission in Hoenn, he became friends with Michael, who was nominally the Gym Leader but was actually the Hoenn Champion. Naturally, he had met Michael's niece.

If it were just simple fandom, he wouldn't interfere much, but he could say hello to this one. However, judging from the fanaticism of the fan group, it seems impossible for him to get a word in edgewise.

Well, since Rukia is at the Grand Contest venue, I can tell that she's either a guest or a contestant, so we'll have a chance to meet again someday.

We'll figure out a way to say hello later.

However, just as Lu An was about to lead the three little ones into the Grand Contest venue, a sudden exclamation came from Rukia's fan group.

Lucia has a large and diverse fan base, including ordinary people, Pokémon trainers, and Contest fans, with Pokémon trainers making up a very large proportion.

Perhaps due to the crowd being too dense, a trainer accidentally had a switch on the Poké Ball on their belt accidentally activated, and an Apexis was released.

"Hiss!"

Hyperactive apes are neither as harmless as their degenerate form, the sloth ape, nor as exceptionally lazy as their evolved form.

The hyperactive Apexis, possessing the Energetic ability, became enraged after being released from its Poké Ball and squeezed by a large crowd.

"Hiss!"

The hyperactive ape's black claws immediately began indiscriminately attacking the crowd around it.

"what!"

"Don't come any closer!"

After being attacked by the hyperactive monkey, the trainers around it no longer cared about pursuing their idol, Rukia, and their self-defense instincts kicked in.

"Little Lotus Hat Child, startled!"

"Slippery candy balls, sticky nets!"

"Big Wolfhound, charge!"

"Ow!"

After the large wolfhound with its intimidating nature appeared in the arena, it let out a long howl and knocked the hyperactive ape, who was venting its anger, flying away.

The commotion caused by several Pokémon broke the already crowded mass, causing it to collapse. Even Rukia's bodyguards were powerless to stop it and were even swept away from Rukia by the crowd.

"Miss Rukia!"

"Hiss!"

After being knocked away by the large wolfhound, the hyperactive ape quickly regained its balance, and its temper flared up again. Now it just wanted to beat up everyone in front of it.

Without hesitation or even hearing its trainer's warning, it pounced straight at the nearest person.

Split it open!

Its target was none other than Rukia, who happened to be without any bodyguards around!
