"Have you found a solution yet?"
"Not yet. If the Altar can't be destroyed, we'll have to see whether there's another angle we can approach this from."
"Actually, after talking with you just now, I've come up with an idea. Would you like to hear it?"

"If we can keep them in check and let them arrive at a time of our choosing, would they still be a problem?"

Mew, Ho-Oh, Rayquaza, Xerneas... which of them didn't possess the strength
