Chapter 592 Business Development?

...

Another week has passed.

Natsu lived quietly in Solaceon Town for a week without experiencing any accidents or so-called disturbance.

It seems that life has suddenly entered a relax time.

Tell the truth.

He really enjoyed this kind of life.

Whether it's playing around with Pokémon every day, or doing some training to develop their tactical literacy.

However.

Natsu didn't forgot about anything else during that time.

He took the time to write a paper on one of Eevee's evolutionary forms, Espeon.

Impossible.

If he didn't write anymore, the Alliance would really come to him.

It's like writing a novel.

The Alliance Leader, monthly pass, etc. Everything is in place, honey, do you want to rest?

But it has to be said that Natsu has little reputation in the Pokémon research community now, and his previously published paper on the Eevee has won unanimous acclaim.

The "Intimacy" paper that Sakuragi signed and co-published wasn't exactly popular yet.

His paper on Espeon was on the front page as soon as it was published.

And, got a lot of good reviews about Espeon Pokémon owners.

When it comes to research on Pokémon like Eevee alone, Natsu is almost at the top of the list.

Of course.

As soon as Espeon's paper was published, the other Trainers with Umbreon, Leafeon, and Glaceon didn't forget to told him to make papers in a hurry.

They just wish they could have a look papers on their Pokemon as soon as possible and get the most correct way of training.

But this is impossible.

His rare free time and relax had to come to an end.

Because.

The competition for the Hunter's Guild seat had finally begun.

...

...

Sinnoh Region.

A secret underground base somewhere in Jubilife City.

As the "Yanxia Hunter".

Natsu is here.

This was a certain stronghold of the Hunter's Guild in the Sinnoh Region.

And come today.

Due to Miss Q's call, one of the highest seats.

In a small room.

Miss Q sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, her beautiful and slender legs were eye-catching and sudden.

It was just the two of them in the dimly lit room, and Natsu was standing there with a blank expression on his face.

Seeing Natsu's serious look, Miss Q smiled, her cat eyes filled with jokes, with raised eyebrows she started to speak, "do you miss me?"

Natsu: "."

"hehehe—" seeing his speechless, Miss Q was laughing happily.

Miss Q changed to a more comfortable position.

Get rid of the emotion of joking.

"The results are out," she said.

Natsu lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"There are three seats in total."

"Isn't that four?"

Why be three?

This surprised Natsu somewhat.

"There should have been five, but one died, but we helped two people. Believe me, you don't want to be one of them."

Hearing that, Natsu fell silent.

Another one died.

But they help two.

Don't think about it, the battle for the right to speak among the top seats of the Hunter's Guild has reached a fever pitch.

And these two people being helped must be just puppets, maybe puppets that don't even have autonomy.

For balance.

"How much does it cost?" Natsu couldn't help but ask.

Don't know where Miss Q got the lollipop, put it in her mouth, and took it out again saying slowly: "She get three places to participate in this competition."

Natsu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Ritchie is very confident.

She sent three people to participate, and she was even willing to give up two seats. Did she think that her three people could sit on the chairs?

With a "ploop" sound, Miss Q took out a lollipop, looked at Natsu and asked. "So confident, right?"

Natsu silently nodded.

This is no longer self-confidence.

This is vanity.

"Are you sure you can take it back?" Miss Q moves towards Natsu and blinks.

As long as they can take it back, this wave is actually not a loss for them.

Natsu twitched the corners of his mouth.

"I don't know the rules yet."

"Ah, I almost forgot."

With that, Miss Q took out the information from under the table, shoving it at Natsu.

"You see first."

Natsu didn't refuse, and slowly opened up the information curiously.

But the more he turned the page, the bigger his eyes got. When he read the last page, he looked at Miss Q in surprise.

"This is"

"Yes, new Region." Miss Q looked very calm.

Natsu was very surprised because what he saw in this profile was about the Alola Region.

Alola region!

Some of the higher-ups of the Alliance had actually known about this place for a long time, and the Alliance had been negotiating with it for a long time.

It's just that some content hasn't been discussed yet, so the Alola Region hasn't been announced yet.

But knowledgeable people have long known of the existence of this Region.

It just wasn't disclosed because of the Alliance's rules.

But the Hunter's Guild didn't care about the Alliance's rules.

And.

In fact, the Alliance had sent several direct path Trainers to the Alola Region on more than one occasion.

As far as Natsu knows.

Professor Oak's cousin, Samson Oak, entered the Alola Region early, opening a "Trainer School" and serving as Headmaster himself.

He is also an expert in the study of Pokémon morphology in the Alola Region.

Although his popularity is definitely not as good as that of Professor Oak.

But his identity represented the attitude of the Alliance.

The Alliance had long been ready to open up the Alola Region, only one more time.

And how could the Hunter's Guild, which hunts and sells Pokémon, not notice this new unexploited region?

"According to reliable information, the Alliance will announce a new region in the near future, this region named Alola." said Miss Q firmly.

"So... this competition is in the Alola Region?"

Natsu suppressed his surprise.

Because, he knew a lot about the Alola Region.

Especially some special Pokémon forms in the Alola Region.

"That's what it means."

"What about the rules, and the victory conditions?" asked Natsu again.

Miss Q laughed softly.

"We are the Hunter's Guild. We are hunters, and Pokémon battles are just one way we hunt. What do you think you need to become a qualified Hunter Guild manager?"

She didn't answer Natsu's question, but Natsu almost get the point.

These are the three important "management" words.

This was not the status of an ordinary hunter, and the responsibilities that needed to be shouldered would be different.

Natsu said after a moment of silence "Make money."

Click!

Miss Q snapped her fingers.

"Right answer. So everyone in this competition will get 10 million as starting capital, and ten members, within a period of fifteen days, the person who earns the most will get a seat. "

"Ahem, by the way, does this include helping the guild develop new markets?" Natsu said without hesitation.

"Of course." Miss Q didn't mind this, leaning forward tightly, "Do you know what that means?"

Black, great color.

Cough.

Natsu glanced indifferently, then turned his eyes away, saying, "Competition for the seventh top seat."

Seeing Natsu's look in her eyes, Miss Q showed a proud smile.

"It's good that you know."

So it appears that Tom Ritchie has put two positions in contention to compete for the three remaining seats, but in truth she has set her sights on the long-term top seat.

"Those who are called members"

"You can choose from the core members or the outer members yourself, as long as they are willing to follow you, no more than ten people." Miss Q Sits back, leaning back on the sofa "Of course, you shouldn't think that it is purely about running games, kill or kill, collide or collide."

Natsu nodded.

Of course this goes without saying.

Fifteen days is neither long nor short.

If you do well, you can make a lot of money.

But the easiest way is actually dealing with everyone participating in the competition, and there is no so-called profit competition.

"I see, when do I go?"

Miss Q looked at the clock on the wall.

"Soon, so you can gather the people you need now. If you can't find it, you can ask me."

"Oke."

However, Natsu turned around and left without speaking any nonsense.

Watching Natsu leave, Miss Q popped a lollipop into her mouth and muttered to herself.

"I don't have a problem with your identity, I don't have a problem with my intelligence. I'am a decisive person. I wonder if you can climb ? "

Curiosity and interest flashed across her eyes.

...

...

Three days later.

On the Hunter's Guild ship.

After the captain deftly dodged several eddies in the sea, the outline of a large island finally appeared in sight.

The Alola region is in the south and has a hot climate.

The entire region consists of four major islands.

Relate to each other.

In the surrounding sea territory there were many eddies, some visible to the naked eye, and some completely indistinguishable.

If you're not careful, the ship might get involved, making it very dangerous.

Currently the Alola Region is not fully disclosed, so there are no flights to the Alola Region.

In addition, some of the main waterways are controlled by the Alliance, so if you want to sneak in, you can only pass through some of the more dangerous sea territory.

Fortunately,

The Hunter's Guild well prepared for this.

Everyone participating in the competition will be randomly assigned to an island.

Natsu was lucky to enter the easternmost island in the entire Alola Region, Ula'ula Island.

Ula'ula Island is the largest island in the Alola Region, with a diverse topography and variable climate.

There are tropical beaches and towering icebergs.

The so-called "luck" is actually a covert operation by Miss Q.

For Pokemon hunters.

The bigger the place, the more resources that can be used.

And more resources means more Wild Pokémon.

In fact, the easiest way to make money in a place like the Alola Region is to catch Pokemon here and sell them outside.

But now that the transportation between the Alola Region and the outside world was so troublesome, this idea could be avoided.

Otherwise, the Lapras, which are extremely rare or even endangered outside, would not have flooded into the Alola Region.

Take lots and sell.

The two of them eased the troubles in the Alola Region.

It can also satisfy trainers craving Pokémon like Lapras.

You can also earn a lot of money.

Three birds with one stone.

But it's impossible to make transactions across regions, and making money has become even more of a hassle in the Alola Region.

Because.

The Alola Region actually has another name.

"Pokemon world countryside".

The ecological environment and the economy is not developed.

Even then, after the opening of the Alola Region, it was more of an area for tropical tours and vacations, and not much economic and trade development.

This probably had a lot to do with the living habits of the Alola Region' inhabitants.

"Is it almost there?"

A voice came from behind Natsu.

It was Joanna who walked to the bow!

Natsu's last "wait and see" plan doesn't work, so Joanna still not on to the contenders list.

So, Natsu immediately invites her to join his team.

Together with nine worthy hunters provided by Miss Q, Natsu's team assembles.

In fact, Natsu didn't have much demand for his subordinates.

But thinking about having them multitask, they're not saying no.

It was Joanna who was so helpful.

"En. "

The rugged outline of Ula'ula Island drew closer to their eyes as the mist from the sea cleared.

Because the Alola Region is located in the south, the climate is hot, and the sky sea territory around it is also filled with lots of fog caused by convective air, so if you want to approach from the sky, you can only take Alliance route, if not better by sea.

"What would you do?" Joanna looked at Natsu.

Helping Natsu compete for the seat, and then use Natsu' power, with her relationships, after Natsu' status increase, to put herself in the top spot, this is a plan that has been completely completed in Joanna's heart.

So helping Natsu is helping herself, and Joanna knows that.

let alone how.

Joanna has seen Natsu "next to" Miss Q.

It's not like he's just taking cover and not getting much attention, Natsu has truly become something like Miss Q's crony.

So she was more certain about her plan.

It's just that she was more or less fed up with Natsu's method of relying on the relationship between a man and a woman.

Impossible.

No matter what Natsu explained to her, first impressions of some things really mattered.

"I'll go check the island first," Natsu said.

Joanna nodded "What about us?"

Natsu glanced at her.

In a calm tone: "First, send someone to rent a property on the island. There are no other conditions, that is, having a large enough backyard shouldn't be difficult. Then the rest set up a simple temporary Pokemon Farm, And for you..."

After a while, Natsu's tone became much colder, "Go investigate and see other competitors have appeared on this island."

Joanna's expression moved.

"Just fighting when you came?"

"It's not easy to make money here. The money stolen from those people is also money isn't it?" Natsu said indifferently.

Joanna's heart froze.

She had seen Natsu's murder decisively on the island.

And she has quite the definition of Natsu in mind.

He is a madman who dared to do something daring.

Not good.

The money that other people had made was now a treasure for him.

Joanna took a deep breath, "Got it."
