Where on Earth Are You, Groudon?

"Kya?"

Lugia looked at the hedgehog-like Pokémon beneath him and asked a question.

According to Jirachi, Mew, and the others, their Trainer Mark apparently would not be coming back today.

As for why he was not returning, Clear Stream Village had leveled up and become Clear Stream Town.

Because of the town's upgrade, Mark had to handle
