After kicking Calyrex aside, Spectrier chose to stay at the Manor. Using Spectrier's card, Mingyou successfully cultivated a new variety of Black Radish in the Ecological Park, and Spectrier refused to leave.
And so, three relatively peaceful months in Kitakami passed in the blink of an eye...
During that time, little useful intelligence came from Macro Cosmos. The Team Rocket Trio kept working diligently as moles, and no one had discovered them yet.
Professor Sada, Professor Turo, and Briar's research, however, went remarkably well. Using that Stellar crystal, they developed a rudimentary Time Machine in the school's Laboratory.
This Time Machine could not travel through time and space. Instead, they had modified the original machine's design into a device for transferring Tera particles. By breaking down and reassembling the body's cells, it could make Terastal Energy a permanent part of the body, no longer subject to depletion over time.
Miraidon and the others no longer had to worry about being suddenly sent back one day. They could remain in this era for good and become part of it.
The rudimentary Time Machine was only the beginning. Briar had filled Blueberry Academy's Terarium with Terastal Energy by collecting Tera Crystals, and Mingyou had successfully used Terastallization at the Junior Cup...
Those two developments caught the professors' attention. They were the ones who had developed the Tera Orb, yet it had always been limited by geography. Now that they saw a glimmer of hope, they naturally wanted to perfect it.
Mingyou kept a close eye on the research. Funding was no problem; if they ran short, he could borrow some from the Aether Foundation or ask his family back in Paldea.
Aside from that, Mingyou's Pokémon World Championships matches had gone smoothly. Starting at rank 999, he had won fifteen straight matches
