Floaroma Town, Gracidea Flower Field.
As Lucario's Aura Sphere collided with Sky Shaymin's Seed Flare once again, a deafening explosion rang out.
Something unexpected happened!
First, a violet beam appeared out of nowhere, nearly striking Sky Shaymin.
When the beam slanted down onto a tree, the entire tree instantly turned to stone from the bottom up!
Petrifying Beam!
Li Wei, Steven, and Officer Jenny realized what it was at the same time.
No one knew where the technology behind Petrifying Beam had been developed, but only one group used it!
Pokémon Hunters!
And only Pokémon Hunters with code names,
such as Pokémon Hunter D and Hunter J,
had Petrifying Beam emitters.
Li Wei shouted, "Shaymin, come down first! Stop the battle!"
As Sky Shaymin swiftly descended,
the clear sky began to distort, and an invisible airborne Armored Battleship gradually revealed itself.
At that moment, Steven and Officer Jenny were certain.
It was a Pokémon Hunter, without a doubt.
They just didn't know his code name.
Steven said calmly, "Officer Jenny, contact the other officers and notify the fire department."
Officer Jenny immediately took out her radio.
"Understood!"
Her pupils suddenly contracted. She took out her phone, only to find that it had no signal either. "There's no signal!"
Steven narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It looks like he came prepared. It's all right. With this much commotion, the police should respond."
An utterly impassive male voice came from the warship.
"What a shame. You even managed to dodge that."
"Then you can all die. I'll be taking Shaymin."
The front of the warship slid apart to either side, revealing an ominous cannon muzzle. A laser gathered within it.
In the blink of an eye, the laser finished charging and shot down from the clouds, sweeping toward Li Wei and the others!
