Kalos Region, Lumiose City.
Inside an elegant black apartment, Dian sat alone by the bed, sorting through his backpack. Poké Balls, medicine, Pokéblocks, and more lay spread out around him.
"...Understood."
Dian closed his Capture Styler. Instead of going back to packing, he sat and thought.
The images the Pokémon Ranger Union had just sent were too bizarre. If he hadn't been certain that Kyogre in Hoenn had not awakened, he would have believed the armored figure in the Fiore Region really was controlling Kyogre.
"If that really is Kyogre, who's controlling whom is still up for debate."
He shook his head. His guess was the same as Jack's: either there was more than one Kyogre, or it was...
Creation!!
Dian silently tapped the solid wood table a few times. Even the League didn't know how many Jirachi existed.
After all, this Pokémon appeared only once every thousand years, and each appearance lasted barely seven days.
Given its timid nature, it wouldn't show itself to humans, either.
At present, there were only four Jirachi whose locations and times of appearance could be confirmed.
The first appeared in Forina, southwest of Mt. Chimney and directly north of Lavaridge Town in the Hoenn Region. The area was known as the "Quartz Sand Peak Forest" and the "Wilderness Great Cave."
This Jirachi was also the first known to have displayed the "power of Creation."
Beyond that, ancient texts recorded awakenings beneath the "Millennium Comet" in a mysterious cave in central Kanto and at the Battle Frontier in the Hoenn Region. But those records were so old that nothing could be confirmed.
The last was the Jirachi still sleeping in the Decolore Islands.
Yet even among Jirachi, the difference in power was enormous. In Dian's view, the one on Decolore's main island certainly couldn't
