"I am coming!"
Seeing that Higana was about to leave, Shigeru followed her.
Xiao Mao was changing clothes in the changing room when Xi Jiana suddenly rushed in.
When Shigeru saw Higana rush in, he was startled. Luckily, he had already changed his clothes, otherwise Higana would have had a good look at him.
"Xiao Mao, something terrible has happened! My meteorite is gone!" Xi Jiana said anxiously.
"what!"
Xiao Mao was completely bewildered.
That meteorite was something Higana always carried with her, how could it be lost? Could it be that someone stole Higana's meteorite when she went to play in the zero gravity chamber?
. .. ....
Xiao Mao immediately thought of Dr. Solans.
Dr. Solans appeared at Chimney Mountain in search of meteorites, and it is possible that he discovered the meteorite on Higana at that time, which is why he invited Higana to the center of the universe.
But Xiao Mao felt that Dr. Solans didn't seem like that kind of person. If he really wanted to get his hands on the meteorite from Higana, there was no need to resort to such despicable means.
"Have you searched carefully?" Xiao Mao asked.
"I've looked for it. I put the meteorite in my bag and always carry it with me. I put the bag in the closet when I was changing clothes just now, and I checked just now, but the meteorite is gone," Xijiana said anxiously.
Higana looked panicked. She had no intention of observing Rift now. If the meteorite was lost, the trial her grandmother had given her would be a failure.
"Don't worry, ask Dr. Solans."
Although I really don't want to doubt it, I have no choice but to ask Dr. Solans for help now, since it was lost in the center of the universe.
Shigeru put on his coat and hurried Higana out of the changing room. Dr. Solans was waiting outside. He was a little puzzled when he saw Shigeru and Higana rushing over. They had been having so much fun just now, why did they suddenly become so anxious?
"Dr. Solans, I've lost my meteorite. Please help me find it!" Higana said.
Dr. Solans looked bewildered and asked, "What meteorite?"
Looking at Dr. Solans's bewildered expression, Xiao Mao figured that the meteorite probably wasn't soil that Dr. Solans stole.
400: Meteorite Stolen
"yes...!"
Higana remembered her identity and was unsure whether she should reveal the story of the Meteor People.
Originally, Higana trusted Dr. Solans, but now that the meteorite has been lost, she no longer trusts anyone except Shigeru.
What if the location of Meteor Village is revealed, and the other party goes there to steal the Rainbow Meteorite?
"Let me explain," said Xiao Mao.
"Um.".
Higana nodded; she trusted Xiaomao.
“Well, it’s like this, Higana is actually a Meteorite, I wonder if Dr. Solans knows that,” said Shigeru.
Dr. Solans must have studied Rayquaza, so he should know that in the Hoenn region a thousand years ago, there were three nations that worshipped three ancient Pokémon as gods.
The people who worship the Rift God on January 27th are the Meteor People.
The people who worship Gaioka are the people of water.
The people who worship Groudon are the people of the earth.
Records of these three ethnic groups can be found in some ancient relics, and they are also depicted in murals.
"You are a Meteorite." Dr. Solans was surprised. He knew this, of course, because to observe the universe, the Rift Siege was a necessary hurdle to overcome.
Each time a satellite is launched, it must avoid Rayquaza, otherwise Rayquaza will see the rocket and think that the rocket has invaded its territory and will be attacked.
"Ah."
Higana nodded slightly, acknowledging her identity.
"What about that meteorite?" Dr. Solans asked.
"The Meteor People have always been isolated from the world, but every once in a while, they will choose a successor. However, to become a successor, one must pass a trial."
"Higana is the successor of this generation. Her trial mission was to escort a meteorite to the Sky Pillar and deliver it to Rayquaza, but now that meteorite is lost, and it was lost here."
Solans was shocked. He hadn't expected that Higana had such an important item, especially since it was lost in the center of the universe. That made things quite serious.
"Please wait a moment, I'll have someone check the surveillance footage!" Solans realized the importance of the matter and quickly went to check the surveillance footage.
Higana looked completely bewildered. She had no idea what to do, having come from a village and being unfamiliar with the rules of modern human society.
"Don't worry too much, Higana, we'll find the meteorite," Shigeru reassured her.
"If I find out who the thief is, I'll make him pay," Xijiana said through gritted teeth.
Seeing how quickly Higana had changed, Shigeru was relieved.
Just now, Xijiana was only worried about how to explain the lost meteorite to her grandmother. Now that her panic has subsided, all she wants to do is find the meteorite and teach the thief who stole it a lesson.
Dr. Solans led the two to the security department's monitoring room to investigate the surveillance footage near the zero gravity chamber. Since the changing room was a place for changing clothes, there were naturally no surveillance cameras there; only the entrance had cameras.
Shigeru and Higana entered the weightlessness chamber at 10:20. They started watching from that moment and could see Dr. Solans adjusting the weightlessness chamber outside on the monitor.
As the progress bar accelerated, a woman in a white coat soon appeared. She bypassed Dr. Solans and quietly slipped into the changing room. She quickly came out of the changing room with a box in her hand, which seemed to contain the meteorite.
“Sally! How could it be her!” Solans exclaimed.
"Do you know Dr. Solans?" Xiao Mao asked.
“She was transferred from the Great Aster Corporation to assist with the research. She is also a PhD, but the fact that she came to steal the meteorite clearly indicates that she came prepared,” Dr. Solans said.
"Can we find this wicked woman now?" Higana asked hurriedly. She didn't care who the other party was; getting the meteorite back was the most important thing.
Dr. Solans immediately notified the security captain to search for Sally and activated the security alarm. No one inside the space center was allowed to leave at this time.
Xiao Mao and Xi Jiana could only continue to wait for news in the monitoring room.
Xiao Mao felt that the chances of finding Sally were slim. She must have already run away. More than twenty minutes had passed since she entered the changing room, and she had most likely already left the center of the universe.
But Xiao Mao doesn't know what to do either. The only information he has is that Sally works for the Big Aster Company.
Big Aster is an energy development company that is on par with Devon Corporation, and the two are competitors in various industries.
Moreover, the headquarters of the Great Violet Company is located in Violet City. It is a large company, and if we were to question them, they could easily deny everything.
"Xiao Mao, Xi Jiana, I'm so sorry that you had to go through this." Dr. Solans was also upset and could only keep apologizing.
"Dr. Solans, if we go to the Great Violet Company now, will they give us an explanation?" Xiao Mao asked.
“This… probably not. Although Sally works for the Great Violet Company, it’s unclear whether she was acting on orders from within the company or if it was her own doing. We still need to apprehend Sally,” Dr. Solans said.
"So now we can only wait and wait?" Higana asked anxiously.
"That's all we can do for now, but is that meteorite really that important?" Dr. Solans asked.
Shigeru looked at Higanbana. To be honest, Shigeru didn't know what the meteorite was for, or whether it could help Rayquaza complete its Mega Evolution.
Rayquaza in the anime undergoes a super evolution using meteorite energy within his body, so the meteorite must be very important. However, considering the rainbow meteorite from Meteor Village, this meteorite should not be lacking.
“Of course it’s important. It’s something to be offered to the Dragon God, and it can help the Dragon God withstand future disasters,” said Higana.
"Disaster? What disaster?" Xiao Mao asked.
When Shina's grandmother took her away from Meteor Village, she didn't tell Shigeru about any future disasters.
“My grandmother said that a disaster will befall us in the future, and we must give the meteorite to the Dragon God to prevent it,” Xijiana said.
"That's really a headache."
Shigeru didn't know what the future disaster would be, but he figured it was related to the future struggle for the ancient rainbow meteorite. Rayquaza also showed its super evolution at that time.
Groudon and Kyogre also showed Primal Reversion forms. If Rayquaza can only Mega Evolve by obtaining a Meteorite, then that's really quite important.
401: Seeking Daigo's Help
"Dr. Solans, Mr. Daigo is here and wants to see you." At that moment, a security guard came in to announce.
"Daoh!"
Shigeru and Solans were both surprised, not expecting Daigo to arrive.
Solan was immediately delighted. Although Daigo was no longer the champion, he was still very serious and responsible during his time as champion.
Daigo played a significant role in the growth and expansion of Green Ridge Universe Center during his time as champion.
"Shigeru, I think Mr. Daigo can help. Should we meet him?" Solans still wanted to ask Shigeru and Higana for their opinions.
"Alright, let Daigo come over," said Shigeru.
Daigo is a decent person, and with his help, regardless of whether the meteorite can be recovered, at least the issue of Higanbana's unregistered status can be resolved.
Soon, the security guard led Daigo into the monitoring room.
"Dr. Solans, what exactly... Gary! Shiga!" Mr. Daigo wanted to ask what had happened at the center of the universe, but when Eleven saw Gary and Shiga, he was completely dumbfounded.
"What are you doing here?" Daigo asked.
"Daigo, please help me! My meteorite has been stolen by a wicked woman!" Higana cried.
Daigo: (O_o)??
Daigo was unaware of what was happening at the center of the universe. He was simply resting at his villa in Green Ridge City and was planning to explore the Shallow Cave properly later.
Upon hearing the alarm sounding from the center of space, Daigo, worried that something had happened, rushed over to see what was going on. When he saw Shigeru and Higanbana there, he assumed that the two of them had triggered the alarm.
"Higana, calm down and tell me what happened first," Daigo said calmly.
Seeing that Shigeru had already told Dr. Solans about his affairs, Higana stopped hiding it and told him about her Meteor Clan as well.
"I understand." Daigo nodded and fell into deep thought.
"Mr. Daigo, now that you understand, what should we do? How do we catch that wicked woman?" Higana asked.
“They should have already escaped, and we won’t be able to find them now. But… leave this to me. I’ll help you retrieve the meteorite,” Daigo said.
“Then I want to go with them,” Higana said.
