Axel asked several questions in a row, but Lusamine was like a blank sheet of paper, with no emotional fluctuations at all.
She stared blankly at Axel, looking exactly like a beautiful robot.
"I… seem to have been afraid of being captured, so I split the plan into three parts and placed them on the islands formed after the Aether Paradise split apart."
"The first part was to stabilize the channels. I put that part into the ocean. Their main task was concealment."
"The second part was the rift-generation device. They run about inside the biomechanical land jellyfish, opening channels in various places."
"Their main task is to create chaos everywhere, avoid being found by you, and at the same time capture a Nihilego."
Axel hurriedly pressed, "Then where are they now?"
To Axel, the plans themselves were not important. What mattered was how to find the other side.
Lusamine blinked, and suddenly showed a trace of expression, looking at Axel as if he were an idiot, "No idea. I already said I was afraid of being captured. What if the enemy forced it out of me?"
Axel: "..."
'You're damn vigilant, even you don't know where your own subordinates went?'
"Then do you even know what you came here to do? Don't tell me it was just to snatch Lillie back so she wouldn't ruin your plan?"
Lusamine bit her lower lip and thought for a moment, then said with some confusion, "I think I came to capture Kyogre and Groudon?"
"How is that possible, how could I capture Pokémon?"
"But I seem to know a lot of plans, as if those plans were made by me myself."
"If I remember correctly, Archie and Maxie should have already gone to where Groudon and Kyogre live. And that guy Pryce should be heading there soon as well."
"How did these people end up working together?"
Lusamine's voice carried shock and anger, as if she could not wait to rush over and denounce those people in person.
Axel: "..."
'Other than you, who holds the method of contacting Necrozma, who else could have pulled this off?'
Honestly speaking, Gardevoir's drug was really fierce. It probably restored Lusamine's mental state straight back to around Lillie's age.
If Gardevoir had been brought out earlier, Lusamine would probably already be leading the still-undamaged Sky Pillar to go find Pryce and fight him to the death by now.
But it wasn't too late either. At the very least, Axel had grasped Pryce's movements and had also dealt with Lusamine.
Next, as long as he made sure those two did not fall into Pryce's hands, he could just wait for the other two groups from Aether Paradise to show themselves and fight over Kyogre and Groudon.
After dealing with them, it wouldn't be too late to control Kyogre and Groudon.
Thinking this, Axel opened Rotom and sent a message to Giovanni.
'Leader Giovanni, I know the location Pryce is heading to next.'
Very quickly, an OK hand gesture came back in the other party's chat window.
At the same time, Giovanni looked at his chat window with Axel with a bit of a headache.
Out of fewer than a hundred lines of conversation, seventy or eighty were asking him to go beat Pryce up, and more than ten were asking him for move-learning methods.
And the way he addressed him was very clever. Whenever it was about beating Pryce, he called him "Leader," and whenever he wanted something, he called him "Uncle."
'This thickness of skin… if only he could join Team Rocket.'

[Hoenn Region, Seafloor Cavern]
In the deep sea ten thousand meters below, there should have been nothing but eternal darkness and deathly silence.
But at this moment, inside a massive cavern, terrifying red and blue light was radiating out.
A strangely shaped submarine hovered near the entrance of the enormous cavern, and the scene inside the cave was horrifying beyond belief.
Half of the vast cavern was a boiling, churning crimson magma pool, emitting a strong sulfurous stench. The scorching heat distorted the air.
At the very center of the magma, one could vaguely see the outline of a gigantic beast, mountain-like in size, covered in dark red armor. Each breath it took caused the magma to surge violently.
The other half was a violently rotating, deep-blue oceanic current, as if it could shred everything apart. It was icy cold, like some sea demon lurked within.
At the center of the current was an enormous, streamlined figure, glowing with a faint blue light.
The water around it surged like a living thing. Even the sound waves produced by crashing waves would often knock out a passing Water-type Pokémon by sheer chance.
These two beings were the legendary deities of the Hoenn region, Kyogre and Groudon, who had triggered disasters countless times!
Chi-nyu~
The submarine hatch opened, and Archie and Maxie, wearing blue diving suits, stepped out at the same time.
After glaring angrily at the people beside them, they both revealed looks of disdain, then gazed fanatically at the gods before them.
The Hoenn region was very different from other regions. Roughly half of the entire region was land, and half was water.
At the same time, it also had two villain organizations.
One was Team Magma, which worshipped Groudon and wanted the land to expand endlessly.
The second was Team Aqua, which worshipped Kyogre and believed that only by endlessly expanding the ocean could the world develop for the better.
And these two were precisely the leaders of Hoenn's two villain organizations, Maxie and Archie.
From before the organizations were even founded, they had fought each other for countless years. But a few days ago, Team Aqua seized an extremely important submarine, while Team Magma obtained the crucial core that allowed this submarine to dive to depths of ten thousand meters.
Left with no other choice, the two sides, in order to awaken their respective gods, could only cooperate temporarily and come together to the Seafloor Cavern, planning to first let the gods awaken, and only after gaining control of their power would they resume their struggle.
Now that they were finally close to the gods, Archie reacted immediately. He stepped forward and commanded his Sharpedo toward Kyogre's position.
"Go, Sharpedo! As long as we obtain Kyogre, we can expand the seas and create the ideal world!"
Beside him, Maxie was not willing to fall behind and also stepped forward.
His fervent gaze locked onto the dark red giant beast in the magma pool, "Go, Camerupt! With Groudon's power of the land, we can expand the continents without limit and build a perfect paradise!"
Under the orders of their two masters, Sharpedo and Camerupt both stepped forward, each charging toward the two gods at the centers of the current and the magma.
At the instant they stepped into the sleeping range of Kyogre and Groudon, the ocean waves across the entire Hoenn region surged sky-high, countless volcanoes erupted, and the whole region began to rumble violently.
The earth cracked open, vegetation lost its vitality, volcanic ash blanketed the sky, and the massive waves in the oceans caused countless weak Pokémon to instantly fall unconscious.
A natural catastrophe that swept across the entire continent erupted forth.
