Sinnoh Region, Coronet Museum.
Moonlight is like a cold silver gauze, gently covering this museum famous for its history.
As the saying goes, when the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is easy to do things, and no one is doing anything in the middle of the night.
This Sinnoh Region's largest museum with the richest collection has long since closed.
Bulletproof glass display cabinets, infrared induction alarms, Gravity induction floors, and countless cameras hidden in the dark constitute a top-notch security system that is known as "even Ghost-type Pokémon cannot sneak into it."
However, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid that thieves will miss you.
No matter how strict the system is, it cannot withstand premeditated long-term infiltration.
In the museum, a hidden access hatch in the ventilation duct system slid open silently.
Immediately afterwards, two figures appeared.
One is a woman with short orange-red hair, and the other has long dark purple hair tied into a neat high ponytail.
It is the second cadre of Team Galactic.
Mars, and Jupiter.
Mars squatted in the corner of the exhibition hall, sliding his fingers quickly on the portable terminal.
Jupiter stood behind her, folding her arms and scanning the entrances of the exhibition hall.
Normally, the sensor device in the museum would already sound an alarm.
But tonight, all power was cut off, accurate to the second, and the camera screen went black at the same time.
This was a system that took them three full months to break.
And their target is located in the center of the museum's ancient relics exhibition hall.
Flame Plate.
The surface of this piece of ancient Plate is flowing with a luster like magma. It is said to be part of the source of life held by the legendary creation god Arceus, and contains the unimaginable original power of Fire-type.
It is the museum's treasure and the key "key" to their plan.
"There is no problem on the monitoring side. There is an eight-minute window from the time it is cut off to the backup system's self-test recovery. You can take action."
Mars didn't even look up, she had absolute confidence in her skills.
"Got it."
Jupiter responded lightly, approaching the display cabinet like a civet cat, taking out a strange-looking silver device from his waist, adsorbing it on the Bulletproof glass, and aligning it exactly with the center of Plate.
Buzz--!
The device starts up and emits high-frequency vibrations.
On the surface of the solid Bulletproof glass, with the device as the center, cracks like Spider Web quickly appeared, collapsing into a regular circular hole.
"Golbat, take it away." Jupiter whispered.
A black shadow flew out silently from the Poké Ball at her waist, its sharp claws carefully grasped the edge of the Plate, and flew back to Jupiter steadily.
Plate felt slightly hot under the claws of Golbat, and the dark red light pattern became more obvious in the darkness.
"Got it."
Mars stood up and put the terminal back into his pocket neatly. The whole process went smoothly beyond imagination.
"Withdraw!"
Jupiter Put Plate into a special container, and the cooling device inside the container starts immediately.
The whole process went smoothly.
The two walked out of the back door of the museum and passed through an alley, where a commercial vehicle was parked.
The vehicle started and merged into the night traffic.
"The plan went well."
"Next, it's up to Saturn. I hope he doesn't screw up."
At the same time, Sinnoh Region, Stark Mountain.
It is covered with volcanic ash all year round, the sky is gray-white, the ground is gray-black, and even the air smells of sulfur.
There is a huge lava lake inside the mountain, and the magma has been rolling here for countless years.
At this moment, a fierce battle is taking place on the edge of the crater.
A Pokémon covered with thick steel armor and flowing with lava lines is roaring in the magma.
Volcano Pokémon! Heatran!
In the open space not far in front of it, several members wearing Team Galactic uniforms were waiting.
The leader is a man with a strange hairstyle that looks like an upward-curved horn.
It is Saturn.
"Sido!"
Heatran was enraged, it opened its huge mouth, and the lava core in its chest suddenly lit up red!
Magma Storm!
The terrifying Red storm was like Rage's fire dragon, sweeping towards Saturn and others on the shore!
"It's indeed strong enough. It's not worth the time we spent investigating it."
Saturn showed a satisfied look.
What he wants is exactly this energetic Pokémon, as the catalyst for the plan.
"Rhyperior! Earth Power! Gallade, Psycho Cut!"
Ahead, Rhyperior's arms slammed to the ground.
Bang bang bang!
The ground shook violently, and thick rock pillars broke out of the ground, quickly forming a thick rock Barrier in front of everyone, blocking Magma Storm's most violent front Tackle!
At the back, Gallade crossed his arms in front of his chest, and the blades on his elbows lit up pink!
Its eyes narrowed and it swung forward suddenly!
Swish swish swish--!
Countless condensed pink blades shot into the energy gathering point of Magma Storm like a gust of wind and rain.
Under the combined attack of the moves, the power of Magma Storm was significantly weakened, and finally slowly dissipated in front of Barrier.
"Capture team, take action!"
Saturn seized the opportunity for Heatran to recover after releasing his ultimate move and waved his hand.
"Yes!"
The men quickly distanced themselves and surrounded Heatran in a fan shape.
Everyone holds a capture gun in their hand. There are three claw-like calipers at the front end of the device, and a thick cable is connected to the tail end.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Several catching claws trailing energy tail flames accurately hit Heatran's back, limbs and other key parts!
Immediately afterwards, the energy binding net unfolded, binding Heatran tightly!
Metal Claw is deeply embedded in its steel armor and releases a powerful current at the same time.
Sizzle!
"Xi Duo--!!!"
Heatran roared in pain, and hot magma gathered in its mouth, trying to Spit Up Magma Storm burn these annoying shackles.
"Want to break free? Don't even think about it!"
Saturn glared sharply and roared:
"Gallade, Psychic suppress it with all your strength!"
"Rhyperior, the most powerful Rock Wrecker, blast it!!"
"Elu!"
Blue light flashed in Gallade's eyes, and all the Inner Focus poured out, turning into an invisible giant hand. Sheer Force interrupted its Magma Storm's Stockpile.
"Super Iron!"
Rhyperior raised his thick arms, and the energy in the holes in his palms compressed crazily, turning into two huge Rock Wrecker bombs with a diameter of more than one meter!
Boom! Bang!
Rock Wrecker knot Sturdy is actually hit on the abdomen of Heatran, and the effect is outstanding!
"Sido!"
Heatran roared in pain, the Magma Storm in his mouth completely collapsed, and the strength of his struggle was stagnated.
"Go on, increase the current!"
Saturn said coldly.
Sizzle!!
More violent high-voltage current poured into Heatran's body along the cable. Heatran's struggle became weaker and weaker. Coupled with the continuous attacks of Rhyperior and Gallade, it was unable to recover.
"Capture successful."
A member of Team Galactic stepped forward to confirm.
Saturn nodded slightly and waved:
"Close the team."
Mt. Coronet, Team Galactic base.
Deep in the year-round clouds and fog, most of the base is embedded in the mountain, and the outside is covered with an energy shielding field, making it extremely hidden.
At this moment, the core experimental area of the base.
It is filled with various precision instruments, energy guides, and the central annular space-time gate frame.
But it is not fully activated yet.
Mars and Jupiter have been waiting here for a long time.
Jupiter was playing with the Poké Ball in his hands out of boredom, while Mars was concentrating on debugging the control terminal in front of him, with Rollout showing complex data flows on the screen.
Buzz--!
The entrance to the base opened, and Saturn strode in with the imprisoned Heatran.
"Hey, it's really slow, Saturn. We're almost waiting for mushrooms."
Jupiter glanced lazily at Saturn.
"It's already very fast. Stark Mountain is not a museum. Heatran is not an exhibit. Catching it is much more troublesome than stealing the Plate piece."
Saturn responded lightly.
"Huh? Are you saying that I didn't contribute?" Jupiter's eyes became dangerous.
Saturn said expressionlessly, "I didn't say it."
"Okay, okay, stop arguing, Flame Plate is already in place, and Heatran has been captured. We have to speed up!"
Mars knocked on the console, impatiently interrupting the useless bickering between the two.
Are these two elementary school students?
Or should we say that villains fight each other every day at work, right?
She pointed to the center of the laboratory, where there was a special transparent glass cover.
Flame Plate is being stored in it, exuding unstable high heat fluctuations. Even through the glass cover, you can feel the burning breath.
"You still have time to argue. During the window period when Xiaoyun goes to Galar to play the game, we must start the plan immediately. Sheer Force opens the door of time and space and retrieves Master Cyrus!"
Mars looked at these two people with disgust.
These two idiots can't tell the difference between their priorities, right?
As soon as these words came out, the two of them fell silent at the same time.
Cyrus, the former leader of Team Galactic, a madman who created the ideal of a perfect world.
In the final battle a few years ago, he was swept away by the power of Space-Time Dragon Duo, and his whereabouts are unknown.
They Team Galactic also fell apart as a result, and the remaining forces went underground.
However, they never gave up looking for Cyrus, secretly collecting resources and studying space-time theory.
Cyrus: Am I really still alive?
It's not important.
The important thing is that the third cadre finally dared to cause trouble this time while Xiaoyun was not around Sinnoh.
If that man were in charge of Sinnoh, they wouldn't even dare to think of such a thing today.
Steal Plate? Catch Heatran?
I'm afraid that as soon as you show signs of it, you will be promoted by someone else and the base.
"Let's get started."
Saturn said in a deep voice.
For Mr. Cyrus and for the ideal of Team Galactic, no matter how big the risk is, it is worth trying.
Next to him, Mars pressed a red button on the console.
Buzz buzz--!!!
The lights of the base dimmed instantly, and only the central device and Flame Plate's light became brighter and brighter!
Jupiter followed the command, "Put Heatran at the designated location, and its Magma Storm can directly act on Plate, providing the most violent Fire-type source energy stimulation!"
"Siduo!!"
Soon, Heatran was forcibly awakened.
It opened its mouth, and Magma Storm spurted out from the depths of its throat.
Boom boom boom!
The dark red lava flow carried volcanic ash and hot rock fragments and bombarded Flame Plate.
The surface of Plate suddenly lit up.
"Let Heatran continue to spray Magma Storm towards Plate! Increase energy output!"
Saturn Continue to order.
A group of people quickly injected stimulants into Heatran!
Under the influence of the drug, Heatran opened its huge mouth uncontrollably, spitting out Magma Storm at Flame Plate that was even hotter than Stark Mountain!
Boom--!!!!
Red's lava torrent, Tackle on Flame Plate!
Plate suddenly burst out with an unprecedented, dazzling orange-red light like the core of the sun!
At this moment, the experimenters in the background guided this power and shot it into the sky!
Phew! Boom!
The sky was dyed Red like burning clouds!
The clouds rolled violently, as if the door of time and space was about to be opened by Sheer Force!
"That's it, keep going!"
Mars stared excitedly at the energy on the screen.
"Heatran, show me your limit!"
Jupiter couldn't help but step forward, with uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.
"Siduo!!!"
Heatran is spitting out flames crazily, and energy waves spread in all directions with Plate as the center!
The data curve on the instrument suddenly jumped up and jumped wildly.
"Energy readings are rising sharply! Exceeding the safety threshold by 200%! 300%! Still rising!"
the researcher shouted in horror.
"Steady! Keep outputting! The space-time gate needs enough energy to open stably!"
Saturn roared.
However, the complete Flame Plate is, after all, the original power of Arceus.
How can a mere human technology and a Heatran be able to control it at will?
What Team Galactic did is tantamount to using a lighter to ignite a nuclear bomb.
It is still impossible to control the direction of the nuclear explosion.
At the moment when the energy output reaches a certain critical point.
Click! Bang! Boom--!!!
A series of heart-stopping crackles and explosions sounded almost simultaneously!
First of all, the energy guidance device exploded because it could not withstand the too violent energy flow!
Debris is scattered everywhere, Ember leads Flash all the way!
Immediately afterwards, Flame Plate itself completely went berserk due to energy overload and harsh external stimulation!
It is no longer a gentle key, but has become an out-of-control stellar bomb!
The orange-red destructive energy spurted out in reverse like a tsunami, instantly engulfing the Heatran that was so close!
"Xi Duo--!!!"
I saw Heatran's body expanding violently in the rampant energy of Plate!
Its body reaches tens of meters high, like a hill!
Dark red magma is constantly flowing on the surface of the body, and the head is twisted and deformed, leaving only a huge mouth that is constantly spitting out high-heat steam and sparks.
Heatran? No, it should be a lava beast.
At this moment, Heatran, which is fused with the energy of Flame Plate, has lost all reason, leaving only the most primitive destructive instinct!
The terrifying high temperature and energy fluctuations emanating from the whole body instantly caused the temperature of the entire base to soar to hundreds of degrees, causing the metal walls to melt and drip!
What's even more frightening is that the violent energy emitted from the lava beast has a chain reaction with the space-time gate that has not yet completely calmed down!
Buzz--!!!
The portal was stretched wide by Sheer Force, and the space began to distort violently.
The dark cracks in time and space are spreading and growing throughout the base like wounds!
High-dimensional space.
Arceus.
The God of Creation, who was sleeping outside of time and space, was also awakened by this energy that disturbed the stability of time and space!
Its vast will swept across the world below, instantly Lock-On Mt. Coronet the source of the anomaly.
Hmm? The power of Plate?
Arceus was surprised. It could feel that Flame Plate was activated, but in the wrong way.
That rough way of releasing energy is simply an insult to Plate.
Arceus will contact Lake Guardians on the spot.
Mesprit of Lake Verity.
Azelf of Lake Valor.
There are also Uxie from Tree of Beginning.
Huh? Something seems wrong.
Mesprit and Azelf looked at Uxie almost at the same time.
Your kid is special, right?
We both stayed well in our own lake, why did you go to Tree of Beginning?
And he seems to have gained some weight.
Uxie rubbed his little hands in embarrassment:
"Well, I have been traveling a lot recently. Tree of Beginning has good food here, and I have Mew to play with... ahem, it's academic exchange!"
Uxie: I just made the same mistake that fat people all over the world make.
The two Pokémon rolled their eyes.
On a business trip? I've been a fat man for hundreds of years and you're on a business trip.
"You must also know the matter."
Arceus's thoughts sounded in their hearts:
"You are responsible for solving this matter, appeasing the rampant energy, and preventing the spread of disaster. If necessary, you can seek help from that child."
"Yes!"
Lake Guardians didn't dare to be negligent, so they all responded respectfully.
Phew!
The mind returns, back to Tree of Beginning.
Uxie knows that the situation is serious and must act immediately.
But... it looked at Mew, who was curled up in a ball next to it.
Well, I slept soundly and my mouth was drooling.
How did he become the ancestor of Pokémon with this virtue?
Uxie was too lazy to pay attention to this guy, closed his eyes, concentrated all Inner Focus, and connected his mind to Xiaoyun who was far away from Galar again.
It knows that for this kind of thing, people have to be shaken.
And it has to be the one that shakes the hardest.
