...
The wide sea.
Nameless island.
"Maxie, did you know you were setting yourself on fire?"
Drake stood on his Salamence's back, staring at the man with his hands behind his back, his glasses glittering with wisdom.
He is Team Magma's boss, Maxie, a man who looks very gentle, but is actually full of cruelty.
Maxie patted the Camerrupt beside him with a smile, and said slightly disapprovingly: "The Hoenn Alliance is determined to destroy our Magma Team? I welcome you anytime, just wanted to remind Drake Elite it looks like you should also prepare for Team Aqua and Archie, he's also acting at this time."
Drake took a deep breath after hearing Maxie's vague threat.
The two underground powers, Team Magma and Team Aqua, weren't fighting each other, but they were in a cooperative position and held back from each other.
If the Hoenn Alliance wanted to destroy one of them, the others would feel the threat of death and would never stand still.
Unless the Hoenn Alliance could defeat Team Magma and Team Aqua at the same time, but that would only get harder once the war started.
Maxie only dared to launch this sneak attack because of the Hoenn Alliance's mentality.
Of course, if Team Magma spent a lot of money, and put in a lot of perseverance and determination to kill the Elite Four Alliance, then the Hoenn Alliance wouldn't be able to sit still.
But that's just a few young Trainers.
"To hell with your mother!"
On the other hand, a rough roar came, the person Maxie had just mentioned, Team Aqua Boss, Archie!
After all, Maxie and Archie had known each other since childhood and were still good friends.
It's just that for some special reason, in the end, the two of them set foot on two different T-junctions at the same time, and finally arrived at the opposite side.
But they could all say without the slightest hesitation that the one who knew Maxie the most had to be Archie, and the one who knew Archie the most had to be Maxie.
It was because of this tacit understanding that Team Magma, Team Aqua, and the Hoenn Alliance had struck a strange balance.
"Golem, Stone Edge."
At this time, Bertha Elite's cold and stern voice came, and she immediately called Archie back, not daring to be disturbed anymore.
They all just dragged these three Elites, by taking advantage of the number of Pokemon, dragging hard, to buy time for Team Magma members to enter different spaces.
In fact every time a Pokemon is defeated, they can summon another one to make up for it.
Maxie and Archie are none other, but with the support of enormous financial resources and the resources of the two underground powers, Team Magma and Team Aqua, there is a large number of Pokémon.
Not at Peak level, but not weak either.
The other side, Agatha's side, doesn't seem to be fighting as much as this side.
The battlefield where Agatha was was surrounded by forest, but her attention was not too focused on the fight. Just looking at the old man in front of him.
Agatha and Old'Bill are old acquaintances.
The two competed for the Elite Four spot at the time, but in the end Agatha won and Old'Bill disappeared.
Agatha saw him again recently in Saffron City.
did not expect this time, the intelligence businessman who did not interfere and only provided this information, actually came.
Neither of them communicated, but Old'Bill put a lot of pressure on Agatha.
Old'Bill suddenly looked at the old pocket watch in his hand, and shouted to Maxie: "Maxie boss, signal suppressor, it's time to recharge."
"Understand!" Maxie's voice came from far away.
The boat they were on had a signal damper installed, so there was no worry that the situation here would be passed on to the Alliance.
Hearing Old'Bill's words that seemed intentional and unintentional, a black light flashed across Agatha's clouded eyes.
A shadow quickly separated from the shadow beneath her feet.
...
The seventh day entered a different space.
Natsu learns from Lorelei that she has seen a special mark, and after a short rest for the night, sets out on a journey to find the person who left the mark.
That night, Lorelei learns a lot of experience and knowledge about survival in the wild from Natsu's mouth, like a sponge that quickly fills in her own shortcomings.
But that's it.
The relationship between the two has undergone some subtle changes.
And this change was all from Natsu's words.
"It won't be long before I get a 'bachelor' degree from the Silver Academy."
With just such a sentence, Lorelei suddenly realized that Natsu could be considered a member of the academy faction.
Or her senior?!
If Lorelei asked Natsu a question from a friend's point of view before, then after this sentence, Lorelei became a "little sister" or even a "student" to ask some questions.
The relationship between Natsu and Natsu grew closer in an instant.
Since Natsu, who was also the "Academy Faction", was able to gain so much field experience, Lorelei thought she could too.
And the fastest way is to ask Natsu.
No, Senior Natsu.
"Senior Natsu." Lorelei who was walking shouted.
Do you feel that the relationship is getting closer at once?
Senior who is also a teacher and brother.
Natsu rubbed his temples with a headache, thinking that he must have something wrong with him before thinking of having a good relationship with Lorelei.
Is this relationship necessary?
"Say." said Natsu angrily.
But he didn't refuse.
A Lorelei who didn't have much field experience and only common sense, in the current situation, no more useful and valuable Lorelei would appear in the shadow of the "Ice Type Elite" in the future.
Now that a large number of Team Magma members have entered different spaces, it is also necessary to unite the limited forces to obtain some resources while ensuring their own safety.
"Find it."
"en?"
Looking back, he saw Lorelei crouched on the ground, under a muddy tree trunk, not really. The clear markings were almost completely blocked by the ground.
Natsu's eyes lit up, seeing the marks left by the removed dirt.
But he was also curious.
"How did you see this mark before?"
He couldn't even see it consciously.
Lorelei's beautiful face rose slightly red, and whispered: "I was in a daze before. No, I accidentally saw it while I was thinking."
Understand.
Natsu nodded.
look in the direction marked by the trail.
He doesn't know who left this, Lance? Steven? Or Shirona?
No matter who it is, is a character with thick thighs.
And the direction marked by the trail was the dense forest in front of them. At first glance, there are not many traces of human activity.
However, when they had just entered this forest, a loud and excited growl came from the forest.
And the sounds continued, one after another.
"wu wu woo woo-"
For a moment, Natsu felt like entering a forest full of monkeys.
