In every region, there are large bases designed to detect energy fluctuations.
These detection facilities are generally used to monitor natural disasters.
However, it is not uncommon for them to pick up battles between Legendary Pokémon.
In this regard, the Hoenn region excels the most. Thanks to the Two Fools of Fang Yuan, their technology for detecting natural disasters is considered second-to-none worldwide.
But the issue is that the Fangyuan Alliance can't exactly rejoice, as their expertise has been developed out of necessity.
When the energy response exceeds a certain level, with Legendary Level as the threshold, the disaster rating is raised to the point where it requires a joint response from the Four Heavenly Kings and the Champion to prevent the disaster from escalating.
At this moment, the Four Heavenly Kings of the United and their Champions have received an urgent notification from within the Alliance!
The relevant department has detected Legendary Level battle fluctuations in a certain area of the United Region.
And after investigation, the images directly frightened the Alliance's technical staff.
It was a creature with a white body resembling a white bird, or rather like a Western Dragon with huge winged claws.
Its entire body was covered with soft white feathers, with its head donned long fluffy hair fluttering like clouds, presenting a face resembling a white wolf with unparalleled dominance!
The mighty dragon emitted blue flames, destroying everything in its path.
It was the dragon of truth, Zekrom—the Legendary Pokémon that once destroyed the United Region according to myth.
If they had only detected Zekrom, the United Alliance wouldn't be so tense.
What's more critical is that they also discovered a large number of Plasma Team members nearby attempting to overthrow the government of the United Region!
Could the Plasma Team have come into contact with Zekrom?!
...
In the United Region, within a mountain remote from human habitation, a huge castle-style secret base had been completely reduced to ruins.
Fang Yuan and his companions, who were just in Fanba City, have already rushed over here.
"The only silver lining is that it seems Zekrom and the Plasma Team came into conflict."
"They didn't receive Zekrom's approval or assistance as the Plasma Team had envisioned!"
After conversing with the Alliance technical members who arrived earlier, Adick breathed a sigh of relief.
The images of Zekrom and the Plasma Team, previously scouted, had vanished completely before their arrival.
Around the ruins, scorched marks were everywhere, and from the remaining warmth, everyone could clearly feel that a great battle had taken place here.
And it seems that the battling sides were likely the Plasma Team against Zekrom.
"Was it Zekrom that destroyed this place?"
Wan Long held her notebook, attempting to use words to reconstruct events that had just transpired.
"It appears so," said King Wu.
The Alliance had confirmed that a large number of Plasma Team members had fled from this vicinity.
Threatened by Zekrom, they abandoned their base and scattered in all directions.
There was definitely a falling out.
The now-ruined base had been sealed off.
Fang Yuan stood nearby, sensing the unusual fire energy fluctuations and looking at the surroundings; he recalled related plotlines.
[It seems it's not the original game storyline.]
[Nor is it the movie storyline.]
[Perhaps it's the animation storyline?]
In the United Region, it is said that there exists a special human born of both human and Pokémon.
He calls Pokémon friends, can understand their hearts, and possesses the special ability to comprehend the feelings of Pokémon.
He is the foster son of Plasma Team BOSS Colress, N.
From childhood, N was deliberately isolated from humans and grew up with Pokémon. Guided by Colress, he believed that Pokémon confined in Poké Balls could not exist fully or happily. N resolved to change the world, to grant freedom to his Pokémon friends, and to create a world that belonged solely to Pokémon.
All of this, however, was merely a ruse by Colress.
He intended to use N's uniqueness to cultivate in him a heart striving for "truth and ideals," then make N the human who could gain the approval of the Black and White Dragon.
Next, by exploiting the founding legend of the United, he planned for N and the dragon to overthrow the United Region, after which the Plasma Team could use N as a puppet to create a dictatorship where they alone possessed Pokémon.
The new nation of the United was about to be born.
But Colress failed.
Although the Plasma Team found Zekrom's Dragon Stone before the Alliance did and successfully revived it,
afterward, N did not receive approval from Zekrom. Instead, the Plasma Team enraged Zekrom.
Zekrom wreaked havoc, destroying everything arranged by the Plasma Team and then departed.
And the members of the Plasma Team scattered in all directions.
The Alliance might still be unclear about the finer details, but the battle waves of Zekrom's demolition of the Plasma Team had been detected.
Fang Yuan looked at the surroundings and deduced that this appeared to be a plotline that happened two years prior to Xiaozhi's travels in the United Region.
It seemed to follow the animation's storyline, but still, Fang Yuan dared not ascertain.
There are too many parallel timelines in the Pokémon World.
For instance, the Black and White Dragons of the movie version have two different storylines, the animated versions of the Black and White Dragons, and the original game storyline of the Black and White Dragons are all unique.
Besides, there also exists a parallel world where "the Plasma Team successfully achieved their ambitions," so Fang Yuan could not definitely determine subsequent developments at present.
"But barring any unforeseen events, after Zekrom left here, it should head to the White Remains in the Dragon Spiral Tower!"
"Let's go take a look."
...
"Have you found anything?"
