Xia Chi had no idea that, a hundred kilometers away above the sea, Team Plasma had already reached a cooperation agreement with Team Rocket.
At that moment, he was lounging in a chair on the villa's ocean-facing balcony, studying the map of the Abyssal Ruins.
Undella Town was the coastal town closest to the ruins, with only a few dozen kilometers separating them in a straight line.
If Miraidon went all out, they could reach the skies above the target waters in just a few minutes.
The real difficulty lay in getting deep underwater.
The ruins lay in the deep sea, resting on a seabed that sunlight could barely reach. Moving there would be nothing like moving freely on land or in the sky.
Diving, searching, and dealing with the potential water pressure and unfamiliar environment would all take considerable time.
Xia Chi's thoughts wandered.
He wondered how they had built this tomb in the first place.
Had thousands of years of shifting coastlines caused a structure originally built on land to sink into the sea?

That meant
