Zeraora dusted off her hands and looked down at the unconscious Zapdos with disdain, as if to say, "That's it? You haven't made any progress at all?"
In the past, even with her talent for storing electricity, Zeraora still couldn't match Zapdos one-on-one without Chris's commands. But now, less than a year had passed, and this once formidable enemy couldn't even withstand a single move from her.
Chris had already taken out a Poké Ball to capture this Zapdos.
The Poké Ball kept rocking back and forth on the ground, flashing red. It was clear that Zapdos was very dissatisfied with the situation.
But being dissatisfied was useless. Chris took out several more Poké Balls and waited patiently. If Zapdos broke out of the Poké Ball, he would simply continue throwing more Poké Balls.
After all, Mega Gardevoir was outside, blocking the space and creating an inescapable trap. If Zapdos refused to give in, Chris would keep catching it until it did.
Perhaps realizing its situation, Zapdos chose to surrender after being captured twice in a row.
In a flash of light, the Poké Ball successfully completed the capture of Zapdos.

It wasn't even as good as the Zapdos that Chris had caught in the Orange Islands. That Zapdos had three perfect IVs, while the Zapdos before him only had a quasi-two perfect IVs. The only bright spot was probably that it had mastered some spatial moves like Teleport and Ally Switch.
Chris didn't know how it had managed to learn those abilities.
"There's actually a Zapdos here?" Vladimir looked on in amazement as Chris captured the Zapdos.
"Teacher, do you want this Zapdos?" Chris casually tossed the Poké Ball containing Zapdos to Vladimir.
Vladimir didn't refuse. He had long known that Chris had a team of the three legendary birds at his ranch.
This Zapdos was being given to him.
"Yes, I'll be considered to have a popular mount from now on," Vladimir said happily as he accepted it. The benefits of having a talented student were clearly showing. Even the Pokémon that his genius student didn't want were legendary Pokémon that countless people in this world would go crazy over.
Chris glanced around Zapdos's entire lair. He had just checked and confirmed that Zapdos wasn't carrying anything. Now, he couldn't find any special items on the surface of the lair either.
So he took out the treasure detector again.
Mega Gardevoir's Psychic power had only scanned for the space rifts hidden within the Hanging Islands secret realm, but the treasure detector had directly locked onto the treasures inside through those space rifts.
It seemed that this treasure detector really wasn't an ordinary item.
Chris thought about studying this treasure detector from his handheld device when he returned. It wasn't that he wanted to mass-produce treasure detectors—he wanted to explore the "target-seeking" technology within it.
He wanted to see if it could be applied to other fields.
The treasure detector he took out immediately pointed directly below Zapdos's lair.
Without Chris's command, Mega Gardevoir immediately used her Psychic power like a shovel to dig up all the dirt from the ground.
Soon, a piece of milky white jade with a slightly pink tint appeared before everyone.
"Is this the Lustrous Orb?" Vladimir looked at the jade before him in shock.
"No, this is the Lustrous Globe," Chris said, the corners of his mouth turning upward!
The jade before them was undoubtedly Palkia's Lustrous Globe, which corresponded to Dialga's Adamant Crystal!
Chris quickly picked it up from the soil and opened his handheld device to check its properties.
Lustrous Globe(Incomplete)
Increases the power of Water-type and Dragon-type moves by 150%, and enhances the effect of spatial moves by 300%.
Description: Due to a fierce battle, its power was forcibly separated, resulting in the loss of most of its strength.
"Incomplete?" Chris frowned.
Comparing its properties with the Adamant Crystal, this was indeed not the complete Lustrous Globe.
Looking at the description carefully...
The power within it had been forcibly separated?
The power capable of separating the Lustrous Globe must be at least on the level of Palkia and Dialga.
Perhaps it had been separated during a fight between Palkia and Dialga.
It wasn't impossible!
Chris thought about the scenes depicted in the Hanging Islands secret realm.
So where was the "part of the power that was forcibly separated" now?
Chris suddenly looked at Mega Gardevoir.
"Gardevoir, give me the Lustrous Orb," he said.
Mega Gardevoir immediately took out the Lustrous Orb she had been carrying. Before she could hand it to Chris, the Lustrous Orb in her hand had already risen into the air, shot straight forward, and merged with the incomplete Lustrous Globe in Chris's hand.
In a flash of light, the smaller Lustrous Orb integrated into the larger one.
At this moment, the Lustrous Globe looked much warmer and felt very warm to the touch. At the same time, its properties had also undergone some changes.
Lustrous Globe
Increases the power of Water-type and Dragon-type moves by 200%, and enhances the effect of spatial moves by 400%. The holder will gain the power of space.
When a Pokémon carries it, they will gain an additional power boost.
This was right!
The current properties of the Lustrous Globe were exactly the same as those of the Adamant Crystal.
One corresponded to the power of space, and the other corresponded to the power of time. With them, one could master the powers of space and time!
However, the fusion of the two Lustrous Orbs also confirmed Chris's theory.
The smaller Lustrous Orb didn't exist independently in this world—it was just a fragment of the true Lustrous Globe. If there were Adamant Orbs in this world, they must also be fragments of the true Adamant Crystal.
But from the properties' perspective, the Adamant Crystal he had was complete, not incomplete.
Therefore, it was impossible for smaller Adamant Orb fragments to exist in this world.
Chris thought about searching for them in other places. If there were no results, then he could create an exclusive "divine treasure" for Gardevoir.
"So they really were one body," Vladimir said clearly, unable to help but sigh.
It was unfortunate that his Gengar wasn't accomplished enough in spatial abilities. Otherwise, he probably would have discovered this Lustrous Globe back then, and his former self would definitely have been able to advance one step further.
Perhaps he could have even been considered a Champion-level trainer.
