Destroy the Meteor

Meanwhile, when Brendan and friends were fighting Kyogre...

Yo, yo! Hand over your Pokémon!

Aaaaahhhhh!

Hey, you too! Come on, give us your Pokémon!

S-stop! Don't take them away!

Ahahaha! No one's here to stop us! We can be as bad as we like!

Yeah! And it's all thanks to Team Magma and Team Aqua!

U...uhhh...

I feel...messed up...again...

Stay strong, Courtney! We need you to control Groudon!

Get yourself together, Matt! Stop raging! You're causing a mess!

Bro...

Now's your chance, Champion!

We can't hold them much longer, so hurry!

I know... I'd like to do so, but I can't now!

I'm being attacked by Deoxys and can't take off!

This Deoxys must've come on a meteor...

For some reason, it's only attacking my Rayquaza and isn't showing any interest in the other Pokémon.

I don't know what happened before it came here, but it can't go on like this!

Can you hear me, Champion? It's me, Maxie.

In order to destroy the meteor, we need a Trainer who's wearing a space-compatible suit...

and is a sync pair with Rayquaza, correct?

Yes, but...

We have a suit that has almost the same features as what you're wearing.

As long as we can make our Rayquaza Mega Evolve...

Oh, I get what you're trying to do.

Zinnia... Sounds like what we need is for you to destroy the meteor with Mega Rayquaza.

You know my Rayquaza can't Mega Evolve, right?

It's not about whether you think it can or not. Mega Evolution is the only solution we have.

Jeez. What a reckless Champion.

And? What are you gonna do?

I'll try to catch this Deoxys.

Brendan said that we can definitely become friends with any Pokémon!

I want to believe in those words, too.

Yeah, sure. It's easy to delegate the important stuff to everyone else.

That's not what I'm doing.

This is a race between you and me.

Let's see if I can catch Deoxys and take off first...

or if you can lift off and get to space before that.

That doesn't sound bad. I'm in.

Yeah! Let's do this fair and square, and see who wins this race.

All right, Deoxys. If you're so interested in us, let's battle!

When you change your mind and decide to become our friend...

I'm sure we can be partners.
