"Sis, my condition... what did the doctor say?"
"A fractured lower leg, severely strained neck muscles, and multiple scrapes and bruises. Luckily, there wasn't any infection."
Once she confirmed that her cervical spine hadn't been injured, Azumi felt much less worried.
"Thank goodness..."
"What do you mean, thank goodness? How could you be so careless?"
"Mm..."
In the inland Hoenn Region, the disappearance of Mt. Chimney and Mt. Pyre, along with shifts in the underground rock formations, had caused abnormal fluctuations in the magnetic field and natural energy. The Pokémon storage systems in Lavaridge Town, Fallarbor Town, and the cities near Mt. Chimney had all been affected.
Years later, the areas with shifting underground structures had stabilized, and the authorities planned to rebuild the storage system's transmission lines.
This system stored Pokémon like data and quickly transmitted them elsewhere, allowing Pokémon Trainers to deposit and withdraw their Pokémon across regions.
In reality, Pokémon couldn't be completely converted into data and broadcast like a Wi-Fi signal. They were merely converted into energy.
It worked on the same principle as putting them inside Poké Balls: they were converted into energy for storage, then transmitted through wired conduits similar to broadband or fiber-optic cables to other connected locations.
The technology for converting Pokémon into energy was the same as that used by Poké Balls to contain Pokémon. It also required specially made Poké Balls to ensure that the balls themselves could be converted into energy for transmission while protecting the Pokémon inside during transit.
Azumi had gone into the mountains to sample the type energy in the natural environment of Petalburg Woods and compile the data, making it easier for the authorities to lay new transmission lines.
When it came to exploring remote forests deep in the mountains, Azumi had a respectable amount
