I beg you female trainers to give me money even if you lose!

The next morning, Yang Xiying's newly subdued Sigana finally met Rita Nanami, and the two exchanged casual pleasantries.

Then we got down to business: the Hoenn League team finally delivered the Pokémon eggs we had ordered last time.

At the same time, they also hoped to meet with Yang Xiying and the others, because Hoenn Champion Daigo had returned, and he wanted to thank them in person, as well as discuss some matters.

"Oh, you're here. Every time I see Teacher Ge with a beautiful lady by your side, I feel that you are very happy."

"I think Mr. Michael, who runs the Rurido Gym and attracts a lot of outstanding women to become trainers, is just as good."

Because Yang Xiying's side consists of one man, Nana, Meili, Tashigana, and three women, the cheerful Mikoli would unconsciously tease them.

This time, Yang Xiying didn't mind teasing back, but of course, he wouldn't go into detail about his relationship with the three girls beside him.

"Haha, but I also feel that the ladies accompanying you are all highly skilled. What's your name, young lady?"

Mikoli was very curious about Xijiana, since he didn't know her, but she was now following Yang Xiying.

“Sigana, or you’ll be more familiar with me if you call me a member of the Meteor Dwellers, Mr. Mikkuri,”

Higana responded with a calm and composed smile.

"..."

Mikoli's eyes suddenly widened. He was indeed familiar with the Meteor People, because he was a Crypt of Glass.

From ancient times to the present, they have been tasked with guarding the Sky Pillars for the Meteor People, which are facilities where the Meteor People worship something.

Now he suddenly understood why the Meteor Dwellers had come looking for him...

"Let's find somewhere else to talk. Hoenn Champion Steven has also returned from the Kalos region,"

Mikoli finally calmed down and spoke.

"...Alright, then I'll trouble Mr. Michael to lead the way."

Finally, Yang Xiying and her group arrived at a conference room led by Mikoli, and found that there were already several people inside.

Several of them were naturally the Four Heavenly Kings whom I had met not long ago. The man with only a tuft of red hair on his head was the evil Heavenly King, Kagetsu.

The dark-skinned girl with short black hair and a Hawaiian-style headdress with floral crowns on both sides is the ghost-attribute Heavenly King Furong.

The blonde Caucasian dressed as a noblewoman is Ice-attribute Uranus Bonnie, and the last one dressed as an old captain is Dragon Uranus Genji.

Besides him, there was also a young man with short silver hair, wearing a suit, with a clean and handsome face.

—It's just as good as Michael.

"Daigo, I've brought him,"

As soon as Mikoli entered, she greeted the silver-haired man, and then everyone's eyes were on Yang Xiying.

"Welcome, Mr. Yang, Miss Rita, Miss Nanami, and Miss Sigana,"

The silver-haired man was the first to stand up and greet Yang Xiying.

He casually mentioned the name of the other party. Although the intelligence report did not mention that Higana looked like a person, Mikoli had just contacted him.

—A distinguished guest from the Meteor Clan was also accompanying Yang Xiying.

"I am Steven Stone, the champion of the Hoenn region. I'm sorry I couldn't personally entertain you last time because I was away on a business trip."

"Mr. Daigo, there's no need to worry. After all, everyone has their inconveniences, and the champion must be busy with important matters when he's on business trips."

Yang Xiying responded politely.

"Thank you, but this thank you is also my way of expressing my gratitude to Teacher Pigeon and my companions for helping to resolve the issues with Team Magma and Team Aqua."

"So we have prepared the gifts of thanks. This is Mr. Yang's precious dragon egg, this is Ms. Rita's Iron Dumbbell egg, and this is Ms. Nanami's Ralts egg."

"And here is a small token of my appreciation. These are stones I dug up while traveling around the world. Please accept them if you don't mind."

As he spoke, Daigo also took out a thank-you gift in addition to the Pokémon egg. It was three boxes, which Yang Xiying took, opened and looked at.

The discovery included a large number of uniquely shaped stones, such as Evolution Stones, Damp Rocks, and Everstones, but the most eye-catching of these were the Mega Stones.

"These are too valuable..."

Nanami spoke up instinctively, while Daigo smiled and said, "You all deserved to help Hoenn solve the problem of trying to overthrow Team Magma and Team Aqua."

"Besides, it would be unbecoming of me to not properly thank my benefactors, so please accept this."

“We won’t do anything for you just because you accepted these requests, because we’d have to pay you extra if we asked for your help again.”

As he spoke, Daigo changed the subject, and Yang Xiying understood the implication in his words and spoke up directly.

"—So Mr. Daigo invited us here not just to express his gratitude, but also to show his appreciation."

"Yes, because I need Teacher Ge's help with something else later,"

Upon hearing Yang Xiying's words, Daigo responded just as frankly.

"...Then let's avoid this for a while,"

Rita spoke up at this moment, regardless of whether the Fengyuan Alliance people mentioned the meteorite crisis.

Neither she nor Nanami needed to stay here. After all, Yang was far more capable than them, and if they were to rely on someone, it would be him.

"It's alright, it's fine for Ms. Rita Nanami to listen in, because everyone will find out about that matter sooner or later."

Daigo shook his head in response.

"In any case, let's sit down and talk slowly. Besides, Mr. Yang should know something by bringing Miss Xijiana here."

"—After all, she is a member of the Meteor Clan."

"So you already knew that a meteorite would soon fall towards Earth and Hoenn?"

At this moment, Higana also spoke up, revealing a smile.

"..."

The room fell silent for a moment, until Daigo finally spoke, “Yes, the Space Center of Green Moss City has observed this.”

"Soon, a huge meteorite will fall to Earth and cause devastation. We are already studying countermeasures."

"Does the so-called research countermeasure refer to using unlimited energy to create wormholes to relocate incoming meteorites to other places?"

Higana's lips curled up, as if she had foreseen everything, which surprised everyone on the Hoenn League side.

"...Did you know all this?"

"After all, I did a lot of research, and I think your method is really unimaginative... Ugh!"

Xijiana looked confident, but Yang Xiying quickly ruined her composure by flicking her forehead.

“Speak more politely. Who would want to have a proper conversation with you if you spoke like that?”

"you……!"

Xijiana instinctively glared at Yang Xiying, but seeing the calm expression on her face, she couldn't bring herself to lash out.

—After all, this person is suppressing me in every way.

"Daigo-san, are you really planning to create a wormhole to move the meteorite? If so, why are you asking me for help?"

Since they can use wormholes to travel, there's no need to ask him for help. So, Daigo has a new plan...

PS: Update!

538

Chapter 538 It's just a meteorite...

"It seems Mr. Yang doesn't quite agree with solving this problem by creating wormholes either,"

Upon hearing Yang Xiying say this, Daigo also spoke up.

"Oh?"

Yang Xiying was stunned when she heard the word "also" from the other side, and Daigo didn't keep her in suspense and explained directly.

"In response to the meteorite crisis, our original plan was indeed to create a wormhole to transfer the meteorite, because that meteorite was very large."

"Using weapons to destroy it won't change the situation, because it can't annihilate the meteorite into powder, it can only break it into fragments."

"But even fragments falling to Earth can easily cause devastating damage, and it's very difficult to control their trajectory when they're broken into pieces."

"So creating a wormhole to transfer meteorites is the safest method we can think of, but I started to hesitate because of something."

"Something?"

Yang Xiying and her group suddenly fell into a state of confusion, and then they heard the other side ask a question.

Do you believe that there are other worlds outside of this one?

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiying and her group suddenly fell silent, and Rita Nanami felt a little uneasy.

—Because Yang Xiying is a human from another world.

"Oh, so Mr. Champion has already realized that other worlds exist?"

At this moment, Higana suddenly showed an expression of great interest.

Because subsequent developments have differed somewhat from what their own people observed, the Hoenn Alliance members will not stubbornly stick to that method.

“We understand the concepts of parallel worlds and the multiverse, Mr. Daigo, you can continue.”

Yang Xiying responded to Daiwu.

"Okay, I'll just say it directly, because I've been to another world, which is a parallel world to ours."

"There are Kanto, Johto region, and Hoenn region, but the Hoenn region there has been destroyed by a meteorite that suddenly appeared from a wormhole."

"—Therefore, doubts have been raised about this method of creating wormholes to transfer meteorites."

Thump! Thump! Thud! Daigo suddenly revealed a shocking truth!

Yang Xiying and her group looked at Daigo with some surprise, not to mention what he saw in another world.

—The very concept of time travel is already quite intriguing.

"...This is truly an unexpected turn of events,"

Higanbana also looked surprised. "Wait, you mean the Hoenn from the other world is gone?"

"But we haven't encountered a meteorite crisis here yet, have we?"

"Now that you know there's another world, you must understand that there's more than one world, and there are many similar worlds."

"It's just a few minor differences,"

Seeing Xijiana's somewhat belated realization, Yang Xiying had a speechless expression.

"You might be a boy from another world, so the destruction of the Hoenn in another world could be because the Hoenn people from that other world transferred the meteorite here."

"...So, did I in other worlds not successfully fulfill my mission?"

Higana couldn't help but think of this.

"But now I'm also unable to fulfill my mission because of you,"

She then turned her attention to Yang Xiying.

"So your mission to handle the meteorite crisis for me has failed... Ouch,"

Before she could finish speaking, Xijiana received another flick on the forehead.

"As I said, some worlds are roughly the same but the details are different. The fact that other worlds are experiencing meteorite crises means that something went wrong."

Yang Xiying spoke calmly.

"But I won't let this world have problems, and I also know a world where someone else can take your place."

"So your failure to summon Rayquaza and Mega Evolve it has nothing to do with resolving the meteor crisis."

"What do you say?"

Higana was stunned, and the people around her were even more bewildered, because the two of them were saying things that sounded profound but were actually quite incomprehensible.

They seem to know more here!

“Um… Mr. Yang, Miss Xijiana,”

Daigo interjected at this moment, "Although I didn't quite understand your conversation just now."
