Floaroma Town.
In late winter, a chill lingered in Floaroma Town's air, and remnants of snow blanketed the distant mountains.
Yet across the vast Gracidea Flower Field, scattered tender green shoots were already stubbornly pushing through the soil, heralding the coming of spring.
Li Wei, Lucario, Zeraora, and Darkrai stood in the center of the flower field.
Beside him, Shaymin happily sniffed at the soil, sensing the earth's return to life.
Darkrai asked in confusion, "What are you planning to catch?"
Li Wei smiled faintly. "You'll find out in a moment."
At Li Wei's words, Meloetta nodded, solemnly raised the Eon Flute, and flew above the center of the flower field.
An ethereal, lilting melody rang out, like the first birdsong of spring breaking the silence of winter's end.
Carrying the power of awakening and renewal, it echoed over the flower field and drifted into the distance.
This melody of the heart resonated wondrously with Floaroma Town's peaceful life energy, as though the entire flower field were softly humming along.
The flute's call received an answer.
On the distant horizon, two streamlined figures, one blue and one red, were drawn toward the music.
Latias said curiously, "It's a flute! I haven't heard one in ages. It sounds really pretty."
Latios's voice was steadier. "Come on. Let's take a look."
Drawn by the energy of this beautiful land, they finally glided down gracefully into the flower field.
Surprise flickered in Darkrai's eyes at the sight of the two approaching Pokémon.
The newcomers were none other than Latias and Latios.
Their information appeared before Li Wei's eyes.
