Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

The massive meteorite threatening the Hoenn region is actually a Pokémon called Deoxys. These creatures almost always appear with meteorites, and as seen in the movies, they have a strong sense of camaraderie. When one companion disappears or goes missing, the others will go to any length to find them.

When they enter the Pokémon planet in meteorite form, they face severe trials. Smaller meteorites are usually eaten as snacks by Rayquaza, who lives in the ozone layer. However, this one is too large for Rayquaza to consume.

Therefore, Rayquaza is likely seeking the power of Mega Evolution, which could prematurely introduce the legendary monolith, a stone discovered in the Hoenn region and considered one of the sources of Mega Evolution.

"Every time Deoxys appears, it battles Rayquaza. In the special edition, the Deoxys that caused the massive meteorite crisis was an individual experimented on and abandoned by Giovanni, returning to this planet with a massive meteorite for revenge."

"However, the game doesn't specify the intentions of this Deoxys. If it's also searching for companions, there's actually a place in the game that's somewhat related to it."

"Located south of the Kanto region, near the Sevii Islands, is Birth Island. In the special edition, the Deoxys on this island is another individual controlled by Giovanni, with a strong connection to the Deoxys carrying the massive meteorite. Most importantly, both of them use Triangle Attack to envelop themselves, a unique skill not seen in other individuals appearing in the movies and anime."

"Moreover, Birth Island has a strange setting in the game. Although Birth Island is clearly located in the Sevii Islands in 'FireRed/LeafGreen,' opening the map in 'Emerald' still displays the Hoenn region map in this area, without being marked anywhere."

The Hoenn region is currently executing a plan. To counter the massive meteorite, the remnants of Team Magma and Team Aqua, Devon Corporation, and the people of the Meteor Village are likely already active, and their plans will severely conflict.

However, that will ultimately be resolved by the protagonists there, May and Brendan. They will control Rayquaza, undergo Mega Evolution, enter space, and confront the resentful Deoxys.

Out of curiosity, Guāng Tái used the Mysterious Ticket crafting technique to create a "ferry ticket."

After purchasing some artwork for research, his painting skills have also improved to a certain extent, but there's still a difference compared to printed ones. It's easy to tell it's a fake at a glance.

However, due to the special crafting technique, when this ticket is given to others, they will be influenced by a mysterious power and treat it as a genuinely usable "special item."

『Craft: Aurora Ticket.』

『Description: A necessary ferry ticket to travel to Birth Island. Beautifully radiant. Crafted using the Mysterious Ticket technique, it's a replica with the same effect as the original (original? Perhaps such a thing doesn't exist).』

『Effect: A ferry ticket that can be used at any pier. When carried, the disembarkation point will change to Birth Island. Those who don't possess the ticket cannot reach the island.』

After carefully storing this ticket, Guāng Tái decided to use it after leaving Saffron City. Then, carrying the Heat Rock, some materials, and an important "item," he entered the Reverse World.

"Huh?" Just as he returned to the dilapidated workshop in the Reverse World, he heard Pokémon cries upon opening the door. Apple trees had been added to both sides of the house, and the Applin were leisurely swaying their bodies on and under the trees, using their abilities to process the apples.

When they saw Guāng Tái enter, the timid Applin widened their large eyes, then let out anxious 'Kaji Kaji' cries, all scrambling to the top of the apple trees, gathering together for courage, but curiously peering out with their large eyes to observe Guāng Tái.

Humans?

Some Applin looked at Guāng Tái, who had appeared here, with confusion. However, compared to Giratina and that terrifying Scizor, humans seemed amiable and approachable here.

Guāng Tái waved at the Applin, looking around, not seeing Giratina and Scizor. They must have gone to other sky islands to process the land. It's good timing, as he brought a lot of statues for it, which can further develop the floating islands here.

"Kaji Kaji...?"

"[?]"

The Applin seemed to have question marks popping up above their heads, looking at each other suspiciously. Feeling that the human in front of them didn't have any malice, they jumped down along the tree trunks. For a moment, apples rained to the ground. They gathered around Guāng Tái, looking up at Guāng Tái with their large, questioning eyes.

"Want some?" Guāng Tái took out some Energy Cubes. For gluttonous Pokémon, delicious food is the first step to establishing a friendly relationship. The gluttonous Applin, smelling the fragrance of the Energy Cubes, immediately wagged their tails, their eyes lighting up, and they couldn't wait to "press" the Energy Cubes under their bodies and devour them!

"Ka! Ka!"

Another reason Guāng Tái came to the Reverse World was precisely because he had promised Giratina to help these Applin become qualified apple growers. Therefore, among the four moves available to remember, of course, the most useful one, Recycle, should be chosen.

Now, even the Applin with the "Gluttony" ability have become useful fellows in the Reverse World!

"Kaji Kaji Ka!"

The Applin jumped up in delight. They had completely mastered the move "Recycle." Under Guāng Tái's gaze, the Energy Cubes that they had already eaten were recreated in the form of apple cubes!

The Pokémon that can learn "Recycle" use different "recycling" methods. The recycling of Energy Cubes is the result of apple pulp, cube residue, and Grass-type and Dragon-type energy being reprocessed. With a testing mindset, Guāng Tái picked a fresh apple and threw it to one of the Applin, a conspicuous teal one.

[Ingredient: High-Quality Large Apple.]

[Description: Restores 100 fullness when eaten. When fullness is full, it increases the maximum fullness by 10, and restores 20 HP. By conducting cultivation in specific directions, different branch varieties can emerge.]

"Shiny?" Guāng Tái stared curiously at this teal Applin. The latter glanced at Guāng Tái, blinked, and ate most of the fresh apple like a small whirlwind, leaving some residue. The teal Applin used the Recycle move as if performing deliberately. In Guāng Tái's gaze, the apple, which originally only had residue left, became the "leftovers" and quickly regrew its flesh and returned to its original state!

"Oh, it looks a bit like regeneration. Is this one of the true meanings of Recycle?" Guāng Tái held up the teal Applin. This Shiny Applin was no longer afraid of Guāng Tái but was looking at Guāng Tái with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Can you let me see how your Ripen ability works?" Guāng Tái made a request to the teal Applin. The teal Applin made a 'Kaji Kaji' sound, then jumped hard, returned to the apple tree, lay on a relatively green apple, and gathered its strength. Soon, the apple changed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

『Applin (Teal) completed a task, gaining experience and growth.』

『Gained knowledge: Targeted Ripening - By combining the Ripen ability with the Recycle move, it can rapidly grow originally green fruits and cause mutations. Depending on the direction of cultivation, it can specifically ripen different flavors of magical apples. Combining it with mutation knowledge can cultivate unique apples.』

"Kaji?" The teal Applin looked questioningly at the enlarged apple under it. Guāng Tái also reached out, and the knowledge of mutation took effect at this time. The red apple suddenly became more lustrous and turned a "golden" color!

[Advanced Ingredient: Golden Apple!]

[Description: A special fruit that would only appear in the Mystery Dungeon world. It contains a large amount of nutrition and energy and is very beneficial to the growth of Pokémon. It fully restores fullness when eaten and increases the maximum fullness by 50. All of the Pokémon's basic abilities will grow.]

[Effect: Cultivation buff, eliminates all abnormal statuses and restores all lost health.]
