The Devon Corporation's engineering team was astonishingly efficient.
Xia Chi had only brought it up with Steven over dinner the previous evening, and by the following afternoon, he had already met the professional team.
To his surprise, the brains of the team turned out to be a Metagross.
It seemed that even if the Pokédex's claim that "Metagross's brain is equivalent to ten supercomputers" contained some exaggeration, it was still pretty accurate.
Once he handed the engineering team the machine blueprints he had gotten from System Bro, construction began in earnest.
Meanwhile, Sootopolis City's reconstruction was in full swing, and the salvage operation for the legendary boulder was proceeding deep beneath the sea.
Steven estimated that it would take about a month before the Wallace Cup could make its dazzling return.

With such a long gap, the competition would have to wait until early October.
Xia Chi began considering his options.
He was even tempted to head back to Donghuang first and see how construction on his island was coming along.
