A glint flashed in Asha's eyes.

Yes, Lu An is right. Since the Water Fleet used some kind of energy to 'cool' the volcano, they can naturally use the energy of fire to reactivate it.

And that's exactly her area of ​​expertise as a Fire-type Gym Leader!

Although she worried about the future of LavaCity for a while, Aysa was, after all, a Gym Leader, and her mind was far beyond that of an ordinary person.

After figuring everything out, Asha immediately cheered up and threw out several Poké Balls with great enthusiasm:

"Lava snail, six-tailed serpent, fire-breathing camel, join the Flame Emperor in channeling the energy of fire into the volcano, and bring Mount Chimney back to life!"

"Fura!"

"Moo!"

Several powerful Fire-type Pokémon stood beside Entei, pouring their energy into the cracked magma.

Seeing this, Safia also became very interested:

"Chichi, let's do it together! Use Flamethrower!"

"Chamo!"

As Entei continued to pour energy into the magma, it silently watched the Pokémon around it, a hint of warmth flashing in its eyes.

Although Mikkuri wanted to help, he knew that as a water-type expert, he would only make things worse if he stepped in, so he could only admire from the sidelines.

"Several Fire-type Pokémon working together to try to alter nature with human power—it's simply the most beautiful performance in the world."

"Compared to this magnificent scene before me, my splendid performance on stage is simply insignificant."

However, even with Entei present, even with the help of several Fire-type Pokémon, even with the lingering warmth of the sunny day at the crater, and even with the magma inside the chimney cracking open, the volcano still failed to start rolling again.

"Hmph, it's useless. The Chimney Volcano was forcibly extinguished by our Water Fleet using the power of a cosmic meteorite. That's a higher level of energy than ordinary flames. Even with the power of the Flame Emperor, you can't revive the volcano."

Lu An turned around and saw that Quan, who had been seriously injured by the sunlight, had woken up at some point.

Although she was seriously injured and knew that she could not escape this calamity today, her face was full of pride.

"After the smokestack volcanoes cease activity, the ocean area is destined to expand, and Kyogre will awaken earlier, all thanks to our Fleet Aqua."

"If you want to revive the volcano, unless you possess energy on par with a cosmic meteorite, or the primal power of Groudon, the god of the earth, all your efforts will be in vain."

"How could you possibly possess such a thing?"

"The inevitable victory of the navy and the ocean cannot be stopped by human power. I advise you to give up this futile effort."

"Hahahahaha!"

Listening to Quan's words and seeing the desolate reaction inside the volcano, a hint of despair flashed across Aysa's eyes.

Is it really as Quan said, that even the flame energy of Emperor Yan cannot bring the Chimney Volcano back to life?

Is Heaven truly determined to destroy my Fuyan Town?

Just then, Lu An suddenly felt a sensation coming from beside him.

Lu An turned around and saw the fire moth floating lightly beside him; it was its wing that had just touched him.

"No~"

Despite Volcarona's repeated pronouncements, Lu An could discern its thoughts from its eyes.

The Vulcan moth also wants to contribute to the recovery of the smokestack volcano.

However, as Quan said, the Gulan meteorite they used is a mysterious stone from the universe. Its status is extremely high, and the energy it contains is terrifying. Even the Yan Emperor would have difficulty having enough power to revive the volcano.

However, looking at his own Volcano's beady blue eyes, Lu An couldn't bring himself to refuse.

"Ugh."

To this, Lu An could only sigh softly:

"What can you do if your own child wants it? You can only spoil them."

"That beautiful girl from the Aqua Team, your name is Izumi, right? Actually, I happen to have one of the two conditions you just mentioned for reviving a volcano."

After saying that, an ordinary, unremarkable sphere appeared in Lu An's hand.

"Hmph, what good could a mere investigator like you possibly have..."

Quan, who was lying on the ground unable to move, was about to sneer at Lu An when he inadvertently caught sight of the precious pearl in Lu An's hand, and his expression changed drastically:

"This is impossible, this is impossible! How could you possibly have this? This is...!"

"Lu An, this is..."

Beside Lu An, Mikoli, who had been relaxed, suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked as if facing a formidable enemy the moment he saw the precious pearl.

As the Gym Leader of Sootopolis City, a Sootopolis resident, a Champion-level Trainer, and an important member of the League, how could he not recognize what Lu An was holding at this moment?

Red gem.

In legend, it is an important item that can influence and even control Groudon, and it is said to contain ancient power.

Given its importance to the League, it has always been kept under strict guard by the League at Mt. Pyre, and is even protected by a Gym Leader.

This precious gem, capable of shaking the Hoenn region, was currently being casually held in Lu An's hand.

This is a red gem!

Even though she knew Lu An was a member of the investigators and a reliable comrade she could entrust with her life, Mikoli was still terrified when she saw Lu An holding the red orb.

Beside Mikoli, Safia looked at the red bead in Lu An's hand with curiosity.

Although Safia's father is a highly respected Pokémon Professor in the Hoenn region, he is clearly not qualified to know the secrets about the Red Orb.

Therefore, she was also unclear why Mikoli looked so nervous when she saw Lu An take out that thing.

Quan, upon seeing Lu An pull out the red pearl, was initially tense, then immediately shouted:

"Your red gem must be fake, it must be a counterfeit! You're a fraud!"

Mikoli ignored Quan's roar and instead looked at Lu An with a tense expression:

"Lu An, this red pearl, you didn't steal it from the Sending God Volcano, did you?"

If the red jewel is really fake, as Izumi said, then Mikoli could breathe a sigh of relief.

But what if it's true?

The thought that Lu An had stolen this red gem from the heavily guarded Songshen Volcano made Mikoli feel a little numb.

That's a serious crime!

However, when faced with Mikoli's question, Lu An remained relaxed, even shrugging at him to indicate that he should relax:

"Don't be nervous, Mikuri. I didn't steal the red gem from Mount Shinkansen. This is another red gem that I found by chance in Kanto."

Upon hearing Lu An's words, Mikoli was taken aback and instinctively wanted to refute them, asking how there could possibly be a second red orb in the world.

But looking at the gleaming jewel in Lu An's hand, Mikoli was speechless.

He suddenly thought of something:

"You called Daigo before to ask if the red orb from Mount Kamehameha was lost, was it because you found this thing?"

Lu An nodded.

This red gem was, of course, the special reward that the foolish system had given him back then.
