The Rising Volteccers arrive in Kumuri Town in search of Rakua and Rayquaza. They meet Yuha, a local boy who blames Rayquaza for a series of events. While exploring the town, Friede learns from the town's matriarch that a mysterious explosion occurred a century ago at Kumuri Mountain. Rayquaza was seen flying away, and a long-haired man (Gibeon) appeared. Friede updates the team, revealing that Rakua lies at the "place where heaven and earth meet" on Kumuri Mountain. The group embarks on a dangerous trek up the mountain, facing various obstacles. They eventually reach a cloud-filled crater at the summit.
