...
Three days later.
Hokulani Mountain.
"Chiwa~~"
The Oranguru was sitting up in a tree, and saying something to Alakazam.
"Kazaam."
Alakazam nodded.
With focus expression, a black and transparent energy formation spread out with him as the center, and its reach was getting bigger and bigger.
However, when it was expanded to a certain range, it shattered.
This is Alakazam learning the "Trick Room" with Oranguru.
After all, this is the "magic" of the Pokemon world, it is not easy to learn.
However, in just three days, Alakazam was able to use a rough estimate. In fact, the development is very good.
"Chiwa~~"
Oranguru said nothing about Alakazam's failure.
It's just a more careful analysis of some of the release's rhythms and "Trick Room" principles.
The two highly intelligent Pokémon communicate in very technical terms that even Natsu can't understand.
Judging from the current situation, it was absolutely right for him to accept the Oranguru.
Alakazam now spends more time with the Oranguru besides training with Beedrill every day.
Even though Oranguru is a Quasi-Elite and Alakazam is a Gym Leader, it doesn't seem like the difference is that big.
But Oranguru outlived Alakazam.
And delve into some of the daily Pokémon battles and tactics yourself.
This was enough for Alakazam to study for a long time.
Although Natsu's tactical abilities are much better than Oranguru, after all, different from Pokémon's experiences and feelings.
Foreseeable.
While Alakazam could really learn everything from Oranguru, Alakazam surely could become the core of an amazing and competent in Natsu team.
The other Pokémon are also on Mount Hokulani, keeping up with Natsu's training schedule, and even Eevee isn't slacking off.
And Natsu took Beedrill to the edge.
This time.
This is not a small training, this is special training.
After the final fight with Totem Vikavolt, Beedrill's changes were obvious.
Beedrill's current speed far exceeded his normal level.
Although the special magnetic field in the territory has a certain influence, what really determines Beedrill's changes are the current-driven pulses in his wings, and the Boss aura contained in Beedrill.
The last few days Natsu had spent a lot of time and effort trying with Beedrill on how to give Beedrill more control over currents that weren't his own, and the Boss's aura.
There is no ideal end result.
But today.
Natsu thought of a solution that might work.
When he was fiddling with Beedrill.
Quick.
At Beedrill's feet, two square pieces of green appeared.
That's Charjabug.
This is Natsu's inspiration from Vikavolt.
Since Charjabug can charge Vikavolt, theoretically it can also charge Beedrill.
He carefully recalled the entire process of Beedrill's transformation back then.
Final conclusions are drawn.
It all started when Beedrill fended off Vikavolt's "Zap Cannon".
At this point, his feather wings, the current it carried, had completely gone wild.
"Beedrill, how are you feeling?"
After doing this, Natsu released his Psychic and watched Beedrill's physical changes.
"Bir."
As the two Charjabugs began to "Discharge", Beedrill didn't feel any damage, but the currents in the wings on his back did start to show to the naked eye. Visible activity.
Zzzz-
Feathers vibrated gently, and currents surged.
In the blink of an eye, Beedrill appeared behind Natsu.
Natsu's eyes lit up.
"Succeed."
"Bir."
But Beedrill feeling his legs a little uncharacteristically.
Although the Charjabug isn't heavy, one Charjabug is just over twenty pounds, and two Charjabug is forty pounds.
This has little effect on Vikavolt, who is slow by nature, but has a big impact on Beedrill, who has an eye for extreme speed.
Natsu don't mind it and said with a smile: "Think of it as weight training."
Beedrill nodded.
Natsu gently tapped his long needle and said, "However, this is an external force, you need to find a switch to actively control this method through the stimulation of Charjabugs, instead of getting too addicted to the help of an external force. . ."
Beedrill knows this, of course.
Natsu's topic changed, "How's Boss aura?"
About Boss aura, Natsu can only give some of his own conjectures and assumptions at most, the real exploration It's still up to Beedrill himself.
"Bir!"
With Beedrill's low voice, the red compound eyes condensed, and his body began to expand with a crimson airflow, and strands of thread wrapped around him. Around his body, it seems that the whole body has become much larger.
Beedrill related very early with the Boss aura.
After a long time of exploration, although it is still not clear what the specific effect is, at least some of the tricks are clear.
The moment Beedrill opened the Boss aura, the two Charjabugs that were tied to his legs trembled, showing expressions of fear and awe.
They changed, Natsu noticed.
Charjabug returned after Beedrill restrained the aura.
Natsu looked thoughtful, rubbing his chin.
"I just don't know if it's Totem Vikavolt that gives you joy, or all the Totem Pokémon that give you that kind of positive stimulation."
Beedrill also said it wasn't very clear.
He just feels.
When facing Totem Vikavolt, there was a voice in his heart that he must fight well against opponents and strive to win.
It's like.
It's like one mountain with one king.
Then it hit hard.
In the end, with Natsu's support and help, victory was won.
After Beedrill telling Natsu about his feeling, Natsu was lost in thought.
After all this time, he couldn't figure it out.
"You train first, if you can bring that speed to normal, you will become very scary" Natsu said.
Famous people say it well.
Speed is weight, have you ever been kicked by light?
To some extent, speed can partially replace strength.
"Bir."
After Beedrill responded, he took two Charjabugs and performed an elaborate, unplanned fly around the tree.
And Natsu started contemplating whether to let Beedrill try another Pokemon Totem.
Sit on Snorlax's belly.
He thought of several ways and plans to increase the power of Pokémon, and thought about what to do in the Alola Region.
Tell the truth.
The Hunter's Guild of Hunters on Ula'ula Island has been very quiet recently.
However.
An emergency call from Joanna in the late afternoon made his laugh out loud.
"Yanxia, they are here."
Core.
It's in the word "they".
Natsu clapped and called back his Pokemon.
Laughs self-deprecatingly after taking his Pokémon back.
"I said what the problem was, and it was in this place. Blame me, I took it for granted."
Stepping on Noivern's back, flying instantly.
Natsu leaned his head down to support his hat amidst the wind flapping his wings.
"But it's good, it saved me a lot of trouble."
Under the brim of the hat, in the downcast eyes, a cold light thickened.
In a few minutes.
On the edge of Malie City, Natsu's temporary backyard.
Joanna's face was cold, holding her constantly blushing shoulders.
Beside her, were several hunters, and several Pokémon.
Salamence fell to the ground, gasping for breath, and covered in bruises.
Beside Salamence, two Vikavolts staggered and floated up.
This was specially given for Joanna by Natsu.
And the opposite.
The faces of the men and women headed by them were full of playful smiles.
Behind them stood dozens of hunters in various costumes, gazing greedily at Salamence beside Joanna.
However.
Joanna's cold gaze was not on the two leaders.
It landed by their side, two familiar and flattering hunters.
These two people.
Must be on their side.
Responsible for intelligence gathering.
Obviously, it was bought by the other party.
Or in other words bought before coming.
But this.
It was actually within Natsu's expectations.
That was why he had purposely left two Gym Leader-level Vikavolts for Joanna.
In addition to his original Pokémon, even if he encounters an Elite-level Pokémon, not to mention victory, there is no attachment problem for a while.
But that's the problem.
This time it wasn't just one competitor.
Here are two!
"I said Joanna, what about that Yanxia? Not yet come? Aren't you going to run?
The man leading the two spoke, his voice as husky as a duck's, "Didn't he say he wanted to kill me first?"
This guy is the hunter "Hound" Casspi that Joanna mentioned to Natsu earlier, and his signature Pokémon is Houndoom.
Beside him, a woman in heavy makeup and luxurious clothing, with her fingers constantly fiddling with her golden curly hair, was a hunter nicknamed "Wildcat" Semina, whose signature Pokémon was Luxray.
Their immediate leader is Tom Ritchie.
"I don't think he will come. Let's kill her first. Salamence's potential is not small, and it will be troublesome in the future."
Although Semina smiled, but her eyes were full of ferocity.
"Don't, it's a shame to kill like this."
Casspi glanced up and down Joanna, his eyes aggressive.
Joanna placed a hand on her shoulder and placed it on Salamence's body, slowly backing away.
Semina glanced at Casspi, a trace of disgust flashing in her eyes.
But nothing was said.
Slowly moving toward the approaching Joanna.
In his current state, there was no need to worry about escaping.
"Houndoom, take down that Salamence first. It is a very valuable Pokemon." Casspi waved her hand.
"Houunn!"
hearing this, Houndoom's jet-black body shot forward swiftly, and Lock On caught Salamence, who was heavily injured.
However.
Houndoom who was running fast suddenly stopped, because of a Pokémon's instinct, it not only stopped its forward movement, but even slowly took two steps back.
"En?"
Casspi and Semina frowned and looked up at the sky.
A large figure was seen falling swiftly from the sky.
bang! !
The inertia caused by falling from a great height, as well as the terrifying weight of the figure, instantly smashed a large hole in the ground and raised a large amount of dust.
"Laxxx!!"
A deep voice emanated from the dust.
A strong wind blew and blew away the dust.
The huge Snorlax suddenly stood before Joanna and her Salamence.
Then a silhouette also fell from the sky.
Pat.
Natsu held the black hat in the palm of his hand, and landed gracefully beside Snorlax.
"Yanxia!"
Seeing that person coming, Joanna's serious face finally showed joy.
From here.
Natsu, who naturally received Joanna's message, came over slowly.
At Noivern's speed, it was only a few minutes from Mount Hokulani to Malie Town.
But in these few minutes, a lot seemed to have happened.
Natsu looked around, frowning when he saw a blush on Joanna's shoulders.
He shifted his gaze and landed on a group of people on the other side.
Little surprised.
Not suprisingly.
It turns out that there are two competitors.
Otherwise, with Joanna's strength and the help she left behind, it shouldn't be so embarrassing.
At least it could last until he came back.
I have problems with my own people.
Natsu expected it.
He just wasn't sure who had the problem.
Delayed the original plan to directly deal with other hunters, only to find these people.
After all, even Miss Q's cronies could be bribed.
This core hunter, who seemed to have little sense of presence, was too simple to be drawn into the mutiny.
He remembered that Hunter A, who used Tom Ritchie as a stepping stone, was also an ordinary seat in charge of the Sinnoh Region.
He should have done his best to infiltrate the hunters of the Sinnoh Region.
So Natsu expected this.
But he didn't know when things would happen, nor could he waste his time waiting on these people.
So he saved two Vikavolts as Joanna's help.
Chair challenger is here.
But there are two.
They foresaw each other, and instead of colliding, they joined hands to face it.
This situation was beyond Natsu's expectation.
So.
Natsu says he "takes it for granted" when Joanna says "they".
But the current situation is fine.
It's just a wound, not a corpse yet.
The most important.
Not only did he find two troublesome hunters in his team.
It also attracted two seat contenders on opposite sides who also chose to land on Ula'ula Island.
Saves a lot of unnecessary trouble to find it.
"You are Yanxia?"
Casspi saw Snorlax and Natsu, and the high-pitched voice came out again.
Natsu ignored it, just threw a bottle of potion to Joanna, and said softly: "Special effect."
Hearing this, Joanna didn't hesitate either, grabbed the bottle with one hand, bit the bottle cap with her mouth, and squirted directly into the wound.
Immediately, the redness of the wound stopped flowing.
But his face also turned pale.
Seeing that his wound had stopped, Natsu threw in some more potions.
"The rest is for Pokemon and then some."
"Okay." answered Joanna.
Natsu returned with much less pressure on his shoulders.
Casspy's expression sank immediately when he saw Natsu ignoring him.
Semina next to him looked at Natsu with interest.
"They..."
Joanna deals with injured Pokémon and distributes potions to other injured hunters, but still can't stop herself from talking.
Even though this attack was something both he and Natsu had expected to happen.
But with the arrival of two competitors, it is not easy to deal with them.
There are some concerns.
But before she finished speaking, she saw Natsu throwing two Poke Balls at random.
Appears at a red light.
Bewear.
And the Oranguru, who didn't take long to catch.
Joanna stared at the Oranguru, surprised.
He got even stronger?
Then he heard the words from Natsu.
"Don't worry, this will not take long."
