Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

The sun gradually sets behind the mountain and becomes the rising sun in another place.

In Shuimai City, a city floating on the water, a large group of people came out from all directions of a building and quickly surrounded the place.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Miss Junsha was quickly calling out to the people behind her. The plan of raiding Changlan Newspaper was sudden, and its purpose was naturally to catch the enemy by surprise and not let any fish escape the net.

At the same time, the staff members of Changlan Newspaper realized that their organization had been exposed and launched resistance. However, judging from the outcome, the resistance did not have much effect.

After organizing several small-scale counterattacks, the reporters of Changlan Newspaper, the remnants of the former Rocket Team, began to retreat to the high-rise building and sent some of them to look for their extremely trusted leader, Lance.

"Damn...where did Lord Lance go?" The members of Team Rocket looked panicked after searching the entire building for Lance but couldn't find him. They had already vaguely realized one thing: Lance had abandoned them.

This news blew into every corner of Changlan Building like a cold wind in December, icy and biting.

The scene inside the building became chaotic for a moment, and some people released Pokémon like Nidoking, hoping to launch a final counterattack.

But the next moment, the entire high-rise building was wrapped in a light blue color. Concrete, steel bars, wall decorations... every part was removed one by one. The building was dismembered almost instantly, leaving only layer after layer of floors still floating.

Then, black holes poured in between the floors, "devouring" their targets. When the black holes dissipated, only one person or elf after another was left, falling to the ground and falling into a deep sleep.

At the moment when the members of Team Rocket fell asleep, they only vaguely saw two figures, a blue Metagross and a Darkrai with cold eyes.

……

"Lance... ran away." Miss Junsha looked at the report handed in by the alliance trainer with regret. The search just now had allowed them to confirm many things, but it was a pity that they did not catch the big fish until the end.

"Perhaps we should contact the Kanto Alliance about this matter." A strong middle-aged man spoke up. He had messy short brown hair and a beard all over his face. He probably hadn't taken care of himself for a long time.

"Hmm? Mr. Donggang, you're back? How's Mr. Hyota doing?" Miss Junsha greeted the middle-aged man. From her words, we also learned the identity of this unkempt-looking man. He is the master of the Steel-type Gym in Shuimai City and also Hyota's father, Donggang.

Not long ago, when Donggang learned that his son Piaotai had been attacked, he jumped out of the Steel Island after a long absence and rushed to check on his son's condition.

Although there are still some conflicts between the father and son, they should be able to reconcile after spending some time together... Junsha thought so, and Donggang's next words confirmed the correctness of her idea.

"Ah... he's fine." Donggang subconsciously touched one of his pockets. The pocket that originally contained a fossil was now empty. The fossil was found by Piaotai when he was a child, and Donggang had kept it until today, and only returned it the day before yesterday.

"That's good. As for the alliance..."

"..."

After a brief chat, the two returned to work, while on the street not far behind them, Aislo, Mari and Daigo were chatting.

"Long time no see, Daigo." Aislo waved, and Mari beside him nodded and greeted.

"Well, long time no see." Daigo smiled and waved, "You have come here from Crown City... At this rate, it shouldn't be difficult to travel all over Sinnoh before the Lily of the Valley Conference."

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Daigo, for helping me buy the Crown Forest... otherwise the elves in the forest would have been unable to live in peace in the past few months." When Eslo mentioned the Crown City, he couldn't help but feel grateful, and it was also the first time he understood the powerful force called money.

"It's okay, it's just a small amount of money." Daigo shook his head lightly, "In my eyes, this is nothing compared to the evolution stones you gave me."

The value of the absolutely pure and top-grade dark stone is inestimable. Not only for stone lovers and collectors like Daigo, but in the eyes of countless people, this thing is a priceless treasure.

"Hey, I seem to have some of those evolution stones here. Do you want them?" Aislo took out his space backpack. He had produced a lot of similar stones in the past, but it was a pity that he never had time to use them. After all, he had never been short of money.

The next moment, several crystal clear dark purple crystals attracted all of Daigo's attention.

"Ahem... Thank you very much!" Daigo, who wanted to politely refuse, ultimately could not resist the deep temptation of those stones. After hesitating for just a moment, he took the dark stones handed to him by Eslo.

"Huh... No matter how many times I look at her, she's still so beautiful." Is that right? Even when he was extremely excited, he still maintained his basic elegance without losing his composure.

"By the way, Mr. Daigo, is there anything you need to deal with when you come to Shuimai City this time?" Mary asked the question at this time. After all, everyone knew the recent chaos in Hoenn, and as the backbone of the entire region, Daigo would never come here for no reason. Perhaps he needed help now.

Aislo also took up Mary's words, "Do you need our help?"

"Come to think of it, there is indeed something that needs your help." Daigo paused for a moment, then continued, "The Hoenn Alliance once received news that a Regis Chirrut is sleeping here. I want to see if I can convince Him to go to Hoenn, but looking at the current situation..."

Daigo looked at the city in silence. The canals, the tall buildings, the sea breeze... This didn't look like a place where the Steel Giant would sleep.

[Although it is cruel, judging from the aura, there was indeed a Regischirü sleeping here more than 20 years ago, and now that guy is probably nowhere to be found.] The voice of the Flower Rock Monster rang in the hearts of the three people, puncturing Daigo's remaining fantasy.

"I see..." Daigo nodded. He had expected this. "Then I'll go to other places in Sinnoh, such as Kurogane City."

Daigo still remembered that a Regirock had appeared in the photo that Aislo had posted online when he was in Kurokin City.

"There's a Regirock sleeping in the charcoal pit over in Black Gold City, and there's also a Regice on the hillside on the west side of Mount Tenkoun." Eslo and Mary looked at each other and told the approximate location where the two holy pillars were sleeping. Although this might disturb the two's sleep again, they believe in Daigo's character and strength. As for the search... don't the League trainers from Sinnoh go to help?

After chatting for a few more words, Daigo said goodbye to the two and set off on the road to Kurogane City, while Aislo and Mari also looked towards Miss Junsha and Donggang.

ps: The official translation of Donggang seems to be Donggua, but I feel it is a bit weird, so I use the previous translation.

Also, military training is annoying (sad)
