After a moment's thought, Anjie replied, "I'm not sure, I need to see the situation first."
Lillie said upon hearing this, "After we arrive at my house, could I trouble you to take a look at Magearna?"
This was exactly what Anjie wanted, so he readily agreed, "Okay, of course."
Lillie said happily upon hearing this, "That's great! Thank you, Mr. Anjie."
Xiaozhi said, "Lillie, it would be great if Magearna could wake up, then you would have hope of finding your father."
"Mm ~" Lillie nodded vigorously, her heart filled with hope.
The car drove for a while and stopped in front of a huge manor.
As soon as Anjie and the others got out of the car, they saw an old man wearing a wine-red suit, with a monocle, and his hair neatly combed, standing straight at the door to greet everyone.
"Miss Lillie, welcome home! And welcome to all the guests."
"James, I'm back," Lillie said with a smile, greeting the other party.
James is the butler of Lillie's house. He takes care of Lillie's daily life, and he also watched Lillie and her brother Gladion grow up.
Lillie's mother is the chairwoman of the Aether Foundation and is usually very busy with work, so she certainly can't take care of the siblings too well. Their father disappeared when Lillie was very young.
So James is a very important person to the siblings.
James was already familiar with Xiaozhi and the others, so Lillie didn't need to introduce them much. So Lillie only introduced Anjie separately.
"James, this is Mr. Anjie, a member of the Kalos region's Elite Four and a Gym Leader, who will be staying here for a while."
James looked surprised upon hearing this, "So you are a distinguished guest, I am truly sorry for my lack of courtesy." As he spoke, he bowed slightly to Anjie.
Anjie waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Being a distinguished guest is too exaggerated, just treat me the same as Xiaozhi and the others."
James bowed slightly again upon hearing this, "I understand."
Then Lillie said, "James, please arrange accommodation for Mr. Anjie first, we still have things to do."
"Okay, Miss Lillie."
Immediately, Lillie couldn't wait to take Anjie and the others to her father's study, where Magearna was discovered.
After entering the room, Anjie and the others saw Magearna sitting in the corner at a glance. It was sleeping soundly, lifeless, and no different from a doll.
"Mr. Anjie, please help take a look quickly," Lillie said with hopeful eyes.
"Okay." Anjie nodded, walked slowly to Magearna, and began to squat down to examine it.
After some inspection, he did not find any problems with Magearna.
"How is it, Mr. Anjie?" Lillie asked nervously.
Except for one place.
"Then why is Magearna still unconscious?" Lillie looked disappointed.
Anjie said, "All parts of Magearna's body are very normal, so the only place where there could be a problem is..."
"What place?" Lillie and Xiaozhi asked in unison.
"This!" Anjie pointed to Magearna's chest, where there was a round hole, closed by two semi-circular doors, "This is the location of Magearna's Soul-Heart."
"Soul-Heart?" Everyone looked puzzled.
Lillie asked, "Mr. Anjie, what is a Soul-Heart?"
Anjie organized his words and said, "The Magearna we see is a humanoid doll, but in fact, it is just a shell. Magearna's Soul-Heart is its main body."
As he spoke, he pressed on a hidden part of its chest. With the sound of mechanical rotation, two semi-circular doors opened, revealing a circular device installed in the hollow chest cavity.
"This is the Soul-Heart, Magearna's true body. Once the Soul-Heart is lost, Magearna will die."
Hearing this, Lillie and the others exclaimed.
"The Soul-Heart is an artificial soul created by the genius scientist Elfanz by collecting the living energy of Pokémon. It is because of the existence of the Soul-Heart that Magearna is given a soul."
After Anjie's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
Anjie continued, "Under all other normal circumstances, Magearna cannot wake up, then there can only be a problem with the Soul-Heart."
"Then Mr. Anjie, can you fix the Soul-Heart?" Lillie asked.
Anjie smiled wryly and shook his head, "You think too highly of me. I don't know anything about scientific research, how could I find the problem with the Soul-Heart?"
Lillie's eyes lost hope again.
At this time, Anjie suddenly said again, "But there is one person who may be able to help you."
"Who?" Lillie's eyes lit up with hope again.
Anjie said, "Wait a moment, I'll make a call."
Lillie nodded and waited silently for Anjie.
Anjie first dialed Diancie's phone, asking Diancie to call the Claydol, and then dialed Rachel's phone.
At this time, Rachel was still traveling outside.
Then Anjie looked at Lillie and said, "Is there a Pokémon teleportation device here?"
"Yes." Lillie nodded quickly.
About ten minutes later, a circular golden ring appeared in Lillie's father's study. Inside the ring, the space channel slowly formed.
Before long, Rachel walked out of the space channel.
"Your Highness, I heard that you found the second Magearna, right?" As soon as she came out, Rachel said excitedly.
Only the royal family members know about Elfanz creating two Magearna.
Hearing this, Lillie and the others immediately looked at Anjie and Rachel in confusion.
Xiaozhi asked in confusion, "Mr. Anjie, what does Princess Rachel mean?"
Rachel looked at Anjie and said, "Your Highness, didn't you tell them?"
Anjie shook his head, "I originally wanted to wait for Magearna to wake up and completely confirm my guess before telling them."
"What are you talking about?" Mamane looked puzzled.
Anjie sighed, "Since Rachel mentioned this, then I will tell you. If there is no second person in this world who can create Magearna, then Lillie's Magearna is very likely to be the one that Elfanz created for me five hundred years ago."
He told everyone in detail about the origin of Lillie's Magearna and the Azoth Kingdom.
After listening, Xiaozhi suddenly realized, "I was wondering why there would be two Magearna, so it turned out that they came from the same person."
"So in this way, this Magearna also belongs to the Azoth Kingdom? Then will Mr. Anjie take it away?" Mao looked at Anjie and asked.
Lillie also looked at Anjie nervously.
She still needed to rely on Magearna to find her father. What would she do if Mr. Anje took Magearna away?
Seeing Lillie's nervous expression, Anje smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't force Magearna to leave. Although Magearna is a man-made Pokémon, it already has life and independent consciousness. Its future should be decided by itself.
If it wants to return to Azoth, I will of course take it away. If it doesn't want to leave, I naturally won't force it.
Besides, even if it really wants to leave with me, if it has clues about your father, I think it will be willing to help you find your father first."
Hearing this, Lillie breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Mr. Anje."
"You're welcome." Anje shook his head, then turned to Raquel and said, "Raquel, please check on Magearna's condition."
"Yes, Your Highness." Raquel walked to Magearna's side, then took out various strange tools from her backpack and shone them on Magearna's body.
About two hours later, Raquel finally finished the inspection.
"How is it?" Anje and Lillie asked in unison, and Satoshi and the others also looked at Raquel curiously.
Raquel shook her head and said, "There shouldn't be any problems with Magearna."
The reason Anje said that Raquel might be able to solve Magearna's problem was because he was Jarvis's student, and Jarvis had obtained Eliphas's research notes, inheriting a part of Eliphas's knowledge.
The technology of Anje's Pokémon Mega Evolution came from Jarvis, and Jarvis developed it based on Eliphas's notes.
So Jarvis can almost be said to be the person who knows Magearna best besides Eliphas.
Although Jarvis is ambitious, he didn't hide too much selfishness in his guidance of Raquel. He even took Raquel to study Eliphas's notes together.
"Then why is it still sleeping?" Anje asked.
"Bond!" Raquel said.
"Bond?" Everyone exclaimed in unison.
"Yes, in fact, you all don't know that when Eliphas first created Magearna, he installed a bond system in the Soul-Heart.
When Queen Anna first awakened Magearna, she relied on the power of the bond.
In fact, even if Magearna is in a dormant state, it can still sense the outside situation through the Soul-Heart.
Queen Anna took care of Magearna carefully, accompanied it, and talked to it. Magearna felt the Queen's love, so it was activated for the first time.
Although this Magearna has been activated through the bond, for some reason, its Soul-Heart has re-entered the unactivated state due to not running for a long time, which is equivalent to the phone being turned off."
"So, to awaken it, you need a deep enough bond?" Anje asked.
Raquel nodded and said, "That's right, but there is another way, which is to evoke its past memories, which can also wake it up."
Hearing this, Anje's eyes lit up.
Speaking of the people present, the only one who has common memories with Lillie's Magearna is Anje's Magearna.
Before Lillie's Magearna was sent away by Eliphas, it had been living with Princess Anna and her Magearna.
Although Lillie's Magearna was originally made by Eliphas for Anje, in fact, it and Anje had never met, so there were naturally no common memories.
Thinking like this, Anje took out a Poké Ball and released his Magearna.
"Duki ~" As soon as it came out, Anje's Magearna was attracted by Lillie's Magearna.
Five hundred years, five hundred years have passed, and they have finally reunited.
Looking at the former partner not far away, Magearna was a little dazed, as if time had traveled back to five hundred years ago.
"Du ~ ki ~ du ~" Anje's Magearna walked to Lillie's Magearna, took the other's hand, and its eyes were filled with deep longing and the joy of reunion.
Unfortunately, Lillie's Magearna did not respond.
Anje walked to his Magearna and said softly to it, "Now I need you to use your common memories to wake it up."
"Du ~ ki ~ du ~" Anje's Magearna nodded vigorously, expressing that it would definitely work hard.
In this way, Anje's Magearna and Lillie's Magearna sat face to face, and Anje's Magearna muttered to Lillie's Magearna about the past.
Lillie asked, "Using this method, how long will it take to awaken Magearna?"
Raquel shook her head, "I don't know, I only know the theoretical knowledge, I haven't really seen it!"
Anje smiled and said, "Be patient and wait, as long as the method is correct, it will definitely succeed."
Lillie nodded lightly.
After observing for a while, seeing that Magearna didn't show any signs of waking up immediately, Anje said, "Let's leave the space to the two of them."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Then let's go out." Lillie said.
Before leaving, Anje said to his Magearna, "Magearna, you can also take it back to the royal city or the palace to see, call back and let the Claydol pick you up."
Magearna has its own mobile phone.
"Du ~ ki ~" I know.
Anje's Magearna nodded.
After Anje finished instructing, everyone left Lillie's father's study.
As soon as they went out, they saw James walking towards them, "Miss Lillie, Mr. Anje, the room has been arranged, would you like to take a look?"
Just as Lillie was about to agree, a piercing alarm sounded.
Satoshi said in surprise, "It's the Ultra Guardians' alarm!"
The so-called Ultra Guardians are a special team belonging to the Aether Foundation. Their main task is to capture Ultra Beasts that have strayed into the Alola region and send them back to their original world to protect the safety of the Alola region.
Its members include Satoshi, Lillie, Mamane, Kaki, Suiren, Mao, and their Pokémon. Lillie's brother Glazio also briefly joined.
However, Glazio is currently outside looking for his missing father, so he rarely comes home.
Ultra Beasts are a special kind of Pokémon that come from Ultra Space and sometimes stray into the Alola region through suddenly appearing Ultra Wormholes.
When passing through the Ultra Wormhole, Ultra Beasts will be affected by the Ultra Aura, and will briefly become stronger, thereby bringing danger to Alola.
