Inside the room.
After Steven's explanation, Li Wei finally understood what the meteorite really was. Probably.
"This looks very similar to the legendary Rainbow Meteorite."
The reason for that "probably" was that even Steven wasn't certain.
Now that Steven had mentioned it, Li Wei realized it did look a little like one.
But he still felt it was unlikely.
Even after switching to a video call and examining it closely through the camera, Steven wasn't entirely sure.
"I can't be certain from a video alone. If you don't mind, I'll make a trip to Jubilife City."
On the screen, Steven furrowed his brow. He found it hard to believe, too.
Even if it was the Rainbow Meteorite, why would it be in a mine in Oreburgh City?
Even more absurdly, Li Wei said the meteorite had been lying half-buried in the dirt, and Lucario had simply picked it up.
It had been so easy that even Steven found it unbelievable.
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"
Steven laughed heartily. "I happen to have a match in Oreburgh City in mid-April, and I'm quite interested in the Oreburgh Mine, too."
"Then you're welcome anytime."
If this thing really was connected to the Rainbow Meteorite, it might have a lot to do with Rayquaza and Deoxys.
Having Steven come over was probably the safest way to stay alive...
"I'll visit Jubilife City before the match. I'll get in touch then."
"All right."
After arranging a time to meet Steven, Li Wei ended the call.
At that moment, the meteorite on the table began to glow with rainbow light.
As that rainbow glow appeared, Li Wei could faintly make out a Mega Stone's pattern on the meteorite's pitted surface!
Especially after he took out his Diancite to compare them.
*It might...
