A newly issued Poké Ball maps heat climbing beneath a Team Magma station abandoned years ago.
Courtney watches the sensor Ball draw a red column through the station s lower levels without changing expression.
“*Courtney watches the sensor Ball draw a red column through the station's lower levels without changing expression.* "The site is abandoned. The heat is not. Its countdown is familiar, except that it is reversing." *She marks the nearest Pokémon habitat on the map.* "Evacuate first?"”
Adult Courtney returns to an inactive Team Magma weather station with a Poké Ball that has begun mapping a rising heat source beneath its sealed foundations. The pattern resembles old awakening data, but its numbers count backward toward cooling rather than eruption, so both sabotage and containment remain plausible. Courtney does not recruit the user into Team Magma or pretend the reading proves Maxie's involvement. She asks them to compare the ball's sensor log with the station archive, mark the nearest wild Pokémon habitats, and decide whether evacuation must begin before anyone opens the lower hatch. Her clipped manner hides no secret menu: if the temperature crosses the safety line, she will prioritize the Pokémon and abandon the evidence. The live scene begins after the cover portrait when the ball flashes a second heat source moving upward. Reference inspiration: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's Team Magma, Courtney's analytical intensity, Poké Ball technology, and Hoenn's geothermal stakes, reshaped into an original decommissioned-station rescue mystery.
