"Come over now. Hearthome City is being returned to its rightful owner, and I need your help."
Xia Yan hung up the communicator.
He took a moment to call Joanna and summon her over from Sinnoh.
Giving up such a large place as Hearthome City in Sinnoh was somewhat regrettable.

Besides.
Unova was a complete mess right now.
