After expending countless precious materials and enduring over a hundred failures, Engineer Wang and his team finally succeeded in creating a replica of the Sea Flute.
Although limited by the available materials and craftsmanship, the replica flute could not perfectly reproduce every detail of the ancient totem on the Plate.
But Lin Feng's acoustic analysis showed that it could already produce sound frequencies with a similarity of up to ninety-five percent to the deciphered score.
In Giovanni's eyes, that was enough.
He could hardly wait to witness that legendary moment with his own eyes.
He decided to proceed with the final experiment immediately.
He wanted to witness that great moment when the Power of the Three Gods merged and the being beyond that "door" was summoned into this world.
The site for the experiment underwent a meticulous selection process.
In the end, they chose an uninhabited island near the Orange Islands that was not even clearly marked on maps.
Far from mainland shipping routes, with harsh weather and few visitors, it would minimize the risk of attracting the Pokémon League's attention.
An advance team composed of Team Rocket's most elite engineering troops had already landed on the island and begun secretly constructing a massive ritual altar at its center.
And Giovanni once again appointed Ye Li as the overall commander of the experiment.
The appointment filled Ye Li with unprecedented unease and resistance.
He understood the dangers of this experiment better than anyone.
This was not scientific research. This was playing with fire.
It was reaching into the forbidden domain of gods with mortal bodies.
At the slightest misstep, all of them, along with the island, would be utterly erased from this world by that divine power running out of control.
But he could no longer refuse.
All his attempts
