Qingwu took a sip of rich crab soup, looking at the crackling bonfire. In his previous life, Qingwu had let down two people: one was Courtney, and the other was Quan.
He had also been saved several times by one person: Zinnia.
{Courtney was also known as Tabitha}
The executives of Team Magma and Team Aqua all used codenames, and there had been more than two generations of them.
Quan was a gentle and intelligent older sister, while Courtney was a mischievous and adorable younger sister. In his previous life, Qingwu was actually a double agent.
Not only was he undercover with Team Aqua, but he also spent some time with Team Magma, so Qingwu knew many secrets of both Team Aqua and Team Magma.
Qingwu wasn't the only double agent; Zinnia was also one. She disguised herself as a member of Team Magma and Team Aqua, constantly stirring up conflict between them, all for the sake of completely reviving Kyogre and Groudon to draw out Rayquaza.
Zinnia was a descendant of the Draconid people of Meteor Falls and also the high priestess who served the Dragon God, Rayquaza.
The first person to serve Rayquaza was Aster, Zinnia's elder sister, also known as Xi. She possessed a special Dragon Power.
Aster could use herself as a medium, borrowing the power of a Key Stone and Mega Stone, to enable Rayquaza to undergo Primal Reversion and become Mega Rayquaza.
According to the current timeline, in three months, Aster would arrive at Sky Pillar in the Johto Region.
There, funded by the Birch Family, with technical assistance from Devon Corporation and Mauville Holdings, and implemented by the Pokémon League, the "Rayquaza Capture Plan" would be executed.
The League learned through a Prophecy Master that Rayquaza would head to Sky Pillar, and so they laid out a Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap in advance.
A team led by Mr. Stone used a device called "Flower" to launch an attack on Rayquaza, and the battle was cataclysmic.
Not only was Rayquaza captured by the League, but Aster would also die as a result.
Later, Zinnia inherited Aster's position as high priestess, using Salamence to lead countless Dragon-type Pokémon to attack the Pokémon League, thus rescuing Rayquaza.
However, Rayquaza was also severely injured and had to return to the Ozone Layer, recovering through hibernation.
Why did Qingwu know all these details? Zinnia had told him everything.
Zinnia had once saved Qingwu, and Qingwu had also saved Zinnia. Zinnia's greatest regret was Aster's death.
Zinnia died saving Qingwu when he was besieged by Groudon and Kyogre; half of her body was frozen in ice, and the other half was scorched by flames.
Under the influence of the Dragon Power, Zinnia burned her soul to speak her heartfelt words to Qingwu.
When Qingwu held Zinnia and asked if she regretted it, Zinnia smiled faintly and said to Qingwu:
"Qingwu-kun, you are the kindest human I have ever met. Please don't live your life in hatred like I did. Chasing Rayquaza's footsteps has made me very tired. For the Dragon Lord, I did not hesitate to awaken Groudon and Kyogre, bringing disaster back to the Hoenn Region."
"To achieve Rayquaza's Mega Evolution, I collected a large number of meteorites and formed this Delta Emerald. I don't know if this item will help the Dragon Lord achieve Mega Evolution, but I only know that as a descendant of the Draconid people and the high priestess of the Dragon Lord, helping the Dragon Lord is my sole destiny in this life."
"How I wish I could once again lie in my sister's embrace, cuddling with her, watching Shroomish gather flowers in the Dragon's Sanctuary of Meteor Falls."
"Qingwu-kun, I beg you, stop this battle. Stop the mistakes I have made. I was wrong, I shouldn't have painstakingly awakened Kyogre and Groudon. Please use the power of the Delta Emerald to help the Dragon Lord undergo its final transformation."
"I finally understand why this Delta Emerald couldn't take shape; it still lacked the blessing of Dragon Power." Zinnia injected all her Dragon Power into the Delta Emerald, and the symbol δ appeared on the green gem.
"Qingwu-kun, please, stop this war. Salamence will also obey your command." Zinnia tiredly raised her left hand, holding the Delta Emerald and a Salamence Poké Ball, entrusting them to Qingwu's arms.
Then, Zinnia closed her eyes, a smile of relief appearing at the corners of her lips.
Flames and frost formed intertwining crystals, sealing Zinnia's body within the fire and ice. So, Qingwu was now irrevocably committed to the suicidal mission of obtaining the Divine Fire.
Qingwu's Robbery of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire was precisely to stop the rampaging Groudon and Kyogre.
"Unfortunately, I was ambushed by an Elite Four Trainer, and my identity was exposed. Not only that, but the Delta Emerald also disappeared," Qingwu felt deeply guilty towards Zinnia.
"Should I save Aster?" Qingwu chuckled self-deprecatingly.
He was nothing now, yet he wanted to save Aster, who was already an Elite Four Trainer and Rayquaza's collaborator. What was he even thinking?
Aster was Zinnia's most important sister. If Aster hadn't died suddenly, and the Draconid people hadn't lost their most outstanding descendant, Zinnia wouldn't have closed off her heart at such a young age.
"If my sister hadn't died, I would have lived happily in the Dragon's Sanctuary, cuddling in my sister's embrace, gathering flowers with my elder cousin in the Dragon's Sanctuary," Zinnia's words echoed in Qingwu's mind again.
"Zinnia, if I have the ability to save Aster, I will do everything I can to bring Aster back. If I can't save Aster, then I will be your lifelong support," Qingwu clenched his fists and secretly vowed.
He would repay those who were kind to him and his Pokémon in his previous life tenfold, a hundredfold. A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring.
Qingwu's Pokémon seemed to sense his loneliness and gathered around him, looking at him with anxious expressions.
"Yes, in this life, I have you lovable ones. I am no longer alone, because I have you all," Qingwu smiled happily at his Pokémon. It's truly wonderful to grow together with you all by my side.
In a place Qingwu didn't notice, the symbol δ of the Delta Emerald appeared on his brain, flashing across it.
"Roar!" In the distant Ozone Layer, Rayquaza, who was devouring meteorites, suddenly felt a special power attracting it; this power flashed by.
Rayquaza was a flying dragon, mostly green in color, with red-edged, rudder-like side fins on its shoulders and lower body, and similar fins at the tip of its tail.
Rayquaza's body was encircled by yellow ring-like patterns, and a similar yellow ring was on its head. It had two limbs with three-clawed wrists.
It had two long, flat, horn-like structures on its head, with two smaller horns below them.
Rayquaza had prominent gums, with two clearly discernible fangs at the tip of its upper snout, while its other teeth seemed completely encased by its gum tissue.
It had small yellow eyes with black pupils.
"What's wrong, Dragon Lord?" a girl dressed in priestly attire, holding a giant Dragon Gem, looked up at the slightly hesitant Rayquaza.
The girl's body was adorned with countless Key Stones, producing a clanging sound as she moved.
A specially designed anklet, inlaid with a Mega Stone that emitted a green glow, was fastened to her left ankle.
Rayquaza shook its head, indicating that nothing was wrong.
A Noivern accompanied the girl, gazing at the lonely night sky.
Both the girl and Noivern, empowered by Rayquaza, could breathe freely in the Ozone Layer and did not feel the cold. "Zinnia, I wonder how you're doing. As soon as I complete the Dragon Lord's Mega Evolution ritual, I will immediately return to Meteor Falls, back to your side," the girl murmured.
This girl was Aster. To help Rayquaza master Mega Evolution, Aster had tried countless methods to stimulate Rayquaza's Celestial Organ (Rayquaza devours meteorites to accumulate natural energy for Mega Evolution, and this natural energy is stored in the Celestial Organ).
No matter how Aster and Rayquaza cooperated, they couldn't complete the Mega Evolution; it was always just a little short.
According to the legend of the Draconid people, a super massive meteorite would impact the Pokémon World in the future.
The Hoenn Region was the primary impact site, and only the combined Mega Evolution power of the Hoenn Region's Creation Trio could resolve this crisis.
Rayquaza also often saw a super massive meteorite flying towards the Pokémon World in its dreams, getting closer and closer.
"Dragon Lord, why don't we go to Sky Pillar in the Johto Region? That's an ancient place of worship for you. Perhaps we can successfully achieve Mega Evolution there," Aster conveyed to Rayquaza using her Dragon Power.
Rayquaza looked at Aster and nodded in agreement, but indicated that it had not yet devoured enough meteorites, and the natural energy in its Celestial Organ was still insufficient.
"Then let's go to Sky Pillar in a few months," the girl's voice echoed in Rayquaza's mind.
