Chapter 579 I almost believed it

...

Three days later.

At Natsu's Pokemon Ranch.

"How is Milotic? Are you used to living here?"

Small pool but not too small for Milotic and Feebas.

Currently there are only Milotic and Feebas.

However, he predicted that he would continue to incorporate Water-Type Pokémon into it in the future to widen the variety of Pokémon on the ranch.

"Mill~~"

Milotic nodded happily, waving her tail gently, splashing a little.

The water resources here were naturally inferior to those on the island, but compared to the danger that might erupt at any time there, here was still much more reassuring.

In terms of food, there is also Pokemon food prepared by him, so there's no need to worry.

And the environment here is also great, not to mention there are no fights against foreign Pokemon.

Milotic and Feebas quickly adapted to the living environment here.

"Fine."

He glanced at Feebas, who was swimming back and forth with Latios.

Every day Feebas will play a few games with Latios.

This can also help Latios to develop his fighting skills.

And this Feebas was indeed one of the better ones, and he was contemplating whether to take it or not.

But in the current situation, he didn't have much energy to training new Pokemon for the time being.

A Pokémon like Feebas isn't like Latios and Eevee. If you want to exercise, you must have a water source.

For now, it is not suitable to accept it.

As for the future, let's talk about the future.

"Mill~~"

Milotic noticed Natsu's gaze and slowly approached him.

Natsu smiled and touched the scales on her body, nodded while saying: "Very good, if you have the opportunity, you can train it well."

"Mill~~"

Milotic rolled her eyes.

"Ssaal--"

At this time.

A Salandit suddenly came to Natsu's side with a card in its mouth.

Natsu looked at it for a bit, then said to Milotic "Then you can take care of this place for a while, I'll be going."

Milotic nodded in disapproval.

With the quasi-Elite Pokemon, plus Turtonator, two quasi-Elite Pokemon to guard this place, and the pheromone gases Salandit and Salazzle as barriers, it should be more than enough security.

Holding the card, Natsu summons back Pokemon, takes Eevee to summon Latios, and leaves quickly.

Gymnasium entrance.

Natsu saw a familiar silhouette from a distance, as well as a sturdy Pokémon standing beside him, which was very eye-catching.

Hypertrophy, Dragonite!

Come.

It was Lance.

Short dark red hair, a cape that hangs down the back, and the identity of a Dragonite Quasi-Legendary Pokémon.

The corners of Lance's mouth turned up slowly, very "cute" and attractive for Natsu's Gym competition.

In the end, it was even better.

"Natsu."

When Natsu sees Lance, Lance finds him too.

His eyes shone and called out.

"I said, are you here to steal business?" Natsu walked towards Lance and glanced at the Dragonite who was getting stronger beside him.

"You're too embarrassed to say that about me, the new Gym Leader who threw the Gym at someone else."

Lance returned not to be outdone.

The two immediately looked at each other and smiled.

A squabble is a squabble.

How can there be no bickering between brothers?

Natsu moved towards Lance holding out his hand "Come in and talk?"

But seeing the smile on Lance's face slowly disappear, Lance shook his head and said, "Next time, come with me. "

"What?" Seeing Lance's expression, Natsu subconsciously avoided his outstretched hand.

Lance immediately grabbed the empty space, looking slightly embarrassed.

But still explained: "There is a mission that requires your help."

"A mission?" Natsu was surprised, and took two more steps "I'm not your investigator, you shouldn't be looking for me."

"Now."

But Lance pulled out an identification piece.

A picture of him and the words "Primary-Rank Investigator" were prominently displayed on it.

Natsu: "."

"Are you kidding?"

The Investigators Organization is a secretive unit of the Alliance, which specializes in investigating and dealing with some shady people.

Surface business belonged to the Alliance Police Officers' families, and urgent or shady matters belonged to investigators.

So the investigator's examination is still very strict.

"Agatha Elite prepared it for you." said Lance bluntly.

Natsu: "."

Turns out the problem was at the source.

"Anyway, follow me first, and talk slowly on the way. Believe me, you won't refuse after listening to it."

Lance looked at Natsu "sincerely".

Natsu almost couldn't believe it.

But if Lance said so, then it wouldn't be too good to refuse him.

After all, when he invited others to help, he came without a word.

Even if this incident had nothing to do with her, she couldn't refuse Lance's advances.

"Oke."

Profit.

He didn't need to go back and make any preparations, he had all of his belongings.

The good point is always being ready, and the bad point is being ready to run at any moment.

Ready to call Yanmega.

Noivern couldn't become his Flying Pokémon for the time being, so he could only draw Yanmega out.

But he didn't expect Lance to take a step faster, he threw a Poke Ball and summoned Charizard.

"I have too much Flying Pokémon."

You know it.

Natsu didn't say no.

Then the two of them flew high into the sky under the support of Dragonite and Charizard, and headed north towards Sinnoh.

"What exactly, can you talk about it?" he asked.

"A few days ago, the Kanto Alliance gene lab exploded, and it was an insider." He said seriously, with a serious face.

"Gene lab?" Natsu's eyebrows rose.

It is not easy.

Explode?

"Wait, shouldn't"

"That's right, Team Rocket." Lance helped him determine the answer.

Natsu fell silent.

Reminiscent of Team Rocket's research into Mew's genes, and Sabrina's previous appearance on the misty island in the sea.

Several clues slowly coalesced in Natsu's mind.

"Then why did you come to Sinnoh?" Natsu's brows furrowed tightly, asking again.

"That's what I wanted to tell you."

Lance clenched his fists slowly, as if remembering something bad.

"After my investigation, regarding this person's existence and previous contacts in the Alliance, you think I've finally seen, who recommended him to join the Alliance?"

"Who?" said Natsu, but there was a slight guess in his heart.

"Tom Ritchie."

Of course.

As Lance uttered the name angrily, Natsu finally connected this chain of events.

It's no secret to Natsu that Tom Ritchie and Team Rocket are a bit connected.

Then why did Lance ask himself to do this task?

Lance guessed Natsu's thoughts should be similar to his.

"So where is this person hiding?" Natsu spoke again after a moment of silence.

"Latest news." Lance looked at the north of the Sinnoh Region and said slowly, "Mount Stark."

"Wait, where?!"

"Mount Stark." Lance glanced at Natsu, who looked slightly excited.

"Let's go back first and make plans again?" Natsu sneered and said sincerely.

Initially, he felt that Lance and his own deduction were fine, and he also pointed his finger at Tom Ritchie.

But when this man hides on Mount Stark, Natsu has to re-examine his judgment.

Because.

On Stark Mountain there's a big thing sleeping inside of it
