...
Natsu didn't expect Lusamine to be waiting for him here.
He thought it would be awesome to have a video call with Lusamine.
He still disdaining the status of the Ultra Beast in Lusamine's heart.
Clear.
Wicke greets Natsu, and the questions she asks along the way are a test for him.
If Natsu doesn't deserve the title of "intelligence", then Lusamine doesn't need to look.
But if Natsu really is an "intelligence" with multiple sources of information, and it's related to the Ultra Beast, Lusamine will definitely get in touch with him.
Natsu's right hand removed the hat on his head and placed it on his chest, bowing slightly.
"Alola, what an honor, Chief Lusamine."
Lusamine rested her hand on her chest and smiled, "Alola, Mister Yanxia."
Since Natsu was able to come here, it means that Wicke acknowledges Natsu's intelligence ability.
"I know that Mr. Yanxia said you had seen the Ultra Beast, can you tell me?" Lusamine asked to the point with a sweet smile on her face.
Tell the truth.
If Natsu didn't know Lusamine's true situation, seeing her gentle expression, coupled with her normal appearance on Alola's various TV shows, would definitely think of her as an extremely outstanding chief of the council.
In fact, Lusamine is indeed extraordinary in her management of the Aether Foundation.
But unfortunately.
Lusamine is amazing, but her love for Pokémon is twisted.
But Natsu said neither too fast nor too slow: "It is a jellyfish-like transparent body in the shape of a bell that can float freely."
What he said was one of the Ultra Beasts.
Nihilego!
The Ultra Beast that will have stories with Lusamine in the future.
Lusamine's eyes lit up.
Leaning forward slightly, "What about the specifics?"
"Sorry, I've only seen it, but never touched it," Natsu said.
Lusamine showed a hint of disappointment.
"Where did you see it?"
Natsu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Altar of the Sun."
Lusamine glanced at Wicke.
Wicke moved towards her with a slight nod.
Write this down so she can investigate later.
"I don't know what Mr Yanxia, who came out of the Ultra Wormhole, said." Lusamine asked something else.
Not many people know about this.
But it's not really a secret, as long as you have the intelligence to know it.
Natsu raised the corners of his mouth, "Battle Frontier, Anabel, the current leader of the Battle Frontier."
This time was the greatest confidence he had today.
Because Anabel is a person who came out of the Ultra Wormhole years ago and has forgotten everything but her name.
For this type of person, there will be a collective name, "Fall".
Anabel first worked at Interpol, then headed Battle Frontier, and would soon return to Interpol.
"Battle Frontiers?"
Lusamine slowly traced the knitting.
As chief of the Aether Foundation, it was no stranger to places like Battle Frontier to have special status and treatment in the Alliance.
A Battle Frontier leader, let alone strength, was not inferior to an ordinary Elite Four in terms of Alliance status.
"I believe that when the Alola Region is fully opened, it will not be difficult for the Aether Foundation to investigate this kind of information." Natsu added.
Lusamine nodded.
She didn't even need the Alola Region to be open for her to find out about Anabel.
If what Natsu said about Anabel is true, chances are that what Natsu said about Ultra Beast is also true.
This made Lusamine a little excited.
Lusamine then asked about matters outside the Alola Region.
Some Natsu answered well, while others answered vaguely.
In general it is more in line with its status as an "intelligence agent".
After a while.
Lusamine changed her sitting position and looked at Natsu with great interest.
"I don't know what Mr Yanxia wants from our Aether Foundation?"
As chief, Lusamine was sure of this.
Lusamine heard Natsu say "I said, this is a present."
"Oh? A present?"
Natsu said so, only making Lusamine more interested in his goals.
think about it.
Then he said: "Then, I hope Mr. Yanxia can help me with one thing, which is the beginning of our cooperation."
Natsu's eyes flashed, "Please say."
"Help me investigate someone."
"Who?"
Lusamine glanced at Wicke.
Wick understands.
She walked over to the table and lightly tapped the table a few times, then a virtual screen appeared in front of him.
Presented above is an interface that Natsu is very familiar with.
To be honest, when Natsu first saw this interface, he was stunned.
See you.
Shown on the virtual screen was the interface of the Alliance's current official forum, the Researcher's Forum.
And what opens is the researcher's personal interface.
The interface is very simple, no photos, not much basic information listed, just a few titles, and a name.
For example: "Eevee Expert".
Another example, in the name column, there is a word that is too familiar to Natsu. "Dodo".
Natsu: "."
It's so special!
Isn't that the personal interface of the account where he published the paper?
Let me investigate myself?
Lusamine paid no attention to Natsu's brief loss of self-control.
Instead said with a smile:
"The Alliance does not allow us to publish any information regarding the Alola Region on the Alliance forums for now, but the Alliance also restricts giving us information."
She lightly stroked her hair and continued:
"I wonder if Mr Yanxia has heard of this Mr Dodo, who is now quite famous."
Natsu lowered his eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.
"I've heard of a few, it seems a researcher who has made great achievements in Eevee research."
Lusamine nodded.
"Yeah, I didn't noticed it at first but my son has an Eevee, and he can never tell what it will evolve into."
However, given Lusamine's appearance like she nineteen year old , it would feel a bit strange to talk about her own son.
But her son, Gladion, will indeed possess Umbreon in the future.
"Then was the paper 'Intimacy' published by Mr. Dodo and Mr. Sakuragi, which made us fully understand the bond that exists between humans and Pokémon."
Aether Foundation, as an organization in the name of the peaceful coexistence of humans and Pokémon, and the protection of Pokémon, the emergence of the concept of "intimacy" is obviously very important to them.
Natsu lowered his head and listened silently.
"Until recently, he published again about the relationship between Milotic and Feebas."
Here.
Natsu almost got it.
Lusamine will own Milotic in the future, right?
Most of her Pokémon are Pokémon with outstanding looks like Milotic and Lilligant.
In fact, most female trainers are more concerned with how Pokemon look.
Also, Lusamine is a researcher who does a lot of Pokemon research.
Her missing husband, Mohn, is an authority on Ultra Space and Ultra Wormhole.
She attended the Alliance Research Forum, of course.
Talking and talking.
Lusamine's face blushed slightly, "By the way, I'm a fans of Mr Dodo."
Naruto: "."
"Me too, Chief." Wicke echoed beside her.
"Is it right?" Lusamine's eyes lit up.
Natsu never imagined that things would turn out like this.
How this is become a fans meeting?
Even though his fans don't know him.
Then Lusamine looked at Natsu again, hesitated a bit and smiled.
"What I want Mr Yanxia to do for me is very simple, I don't need to investigate the true identity of this Mr Dodo."
Good person.
You almost ran into someone's house because of your insistence?
You might as well send the blades.
"Can it be done?"
Lusamine looked at Natsu a little expectantly.
Natsu, who lowered his head, took a deep breath, then slowly raised his head.
"It's hard, but it's okay."
Hearing this, Lusamine smiled sweetly again.
"In that case, please Mr. Yanxia to help me hand this thing over to him."
Said, pulled out a card.
Wicke brought her to him.
"This is."
"Our Aether Foundation has always had a researcher support policy. There are five million Alliance coins in it, which is a help and support for Mr. Dodo."
Researchers are an invalid asset in any organization.
Not to mention those who are on the rise like Natsu.
"Of course, if Mr. 'Dodo' is willing to work with us at the Aether Foundation, I can give him the position of Undersecretary of Division, on the same level as Wicke."
Natsu scared.
This is the key that Lusamine wants to contact himself right?
Lusamine treats Pokémon researchers quite well.
Whether it's for Professor Burnet later, or for Faba who made a big mistake.
"I understand." Natsu put the card away.
However.
Five million alliance coins were taken without a sweat.
Natsu decided to go back and take a good look at the paper he had just published.
See if there is one called "Lusamine" among the many comments.
"If Mr Yanxia can do well, then our Aether Foundation can work with you."
This can be considered as a test for Natsu by Lusamine.
Even though he might not know it, this test was no different from awarding points.
But regardless of Natsu's identity as a "dodo".
Currently, the name "Dodo" is very popular in the research community, but Alliance has been slow to update his original name, which shows that his secrecy work is quite good.
If Intelligence agents can contact such a person.
There is no doubt about ability in intelligence.
The Aether Foundation is also willing to work with those with intelligence capabilities.
Wherever it is.
Intelligence will always be a very important and inseparable part.
"Okay."
"Now can Mr Yanxia tell me what you wants? We can advance some of the payments."
Lusamine is still slightly active.
Natsu didn't hesitate, saying, "I want research on 'Totem Pokémon' and 'Totem aura'."
This is important.
Allows him to tell how Boss Beedrill's aura differs from Totem Pokémon Totem's aura.
Totem Pokémon are a special feature of the Alola Region.
Lusamine fiddled with the pen on the table, and said with a nod, "Okay, I'll let Wicke pass on some information to you first."
This kind of action is a kind of friendly exchange between the two sides, which ends.
Just chat again for a bit.
"Wicke, please help Mr Yanxia."
This is the end of the conversation.
"Okay." Wicke bowed slightly, then moved towards Natsu with a smile and stretched out her hand, "Mr. Yanxia,please."
Natsu nominate.
Follow Wicke to get out.
However.
When the two had just stepped out of the office door.
The red light suddenly flashed in dining.
This is a warning!
And Wicke's face changed who understood the meaning of this warning.
Slightly apologized to Natsu: "Sorry, Mr Yanxia."
Her words are not finished.
He saw Lusamine coming out of the office with a few bodyguards, a sullen face.
"Wicke, follow me to Aether Paradise."
"Yes."
Lusamine hesitated a bit as she walked past Natsu, taking a deep breath. Slowly said: "Mr. Yanxia, sorry for the bad reception."
"en?"
Done talking.
Lusamine didn't explain much and left quickly.
Seeing their backs leaving quickly, Natsu paused for a moment.
He had a vague feeling of what was going on.
Possible.
This is a case where Faba opens an Ultra Wormhole, and Nihilego appears, kidnaps Lillie, and ends up being saved by Silvally.
It is because of this that Lillie scared to touch Pokemon.
A cause that made Lusamine and Lillie go in two directions at the same time.
To be more serious.
This is probably one of the starting points for blackening Lusamine step by step.
But that was someone else's business, and he couldn't get close to that area of Aether Paradise.
think about it.
Natsu still leaves the Aether House.
This is not necessarily a bad thing for him.
Nihilego's appearance further confirmed what he had told Lusamine about the Ultra Beast.
This will certainly add to the heavy heart of Lusamine.
This will undoubtedly be of great help in future collaborations with the Aether Foundation.
Return to Malie City.
Everything went smoothly after the final battle.
Joanna also returns to base, and tells Natsu what really happened and the results of her contact with Team Skul.
"It really is a lion's big mouth." For the price the Team Skul wanted, Natsu snorted in complete disappointment.
But in terms of finding people, in the current Alola Region, there was no one better than the Team Skul.
"Promise them, but give them a time limit, five days." Natsu tapped the edge of the table with his finger.
"Five days, enough time for my competitors to develop."
What is paid to Team Skul must be recovered from them.
"Okay." Joanna didn't mind either.
Team up with some other force, that's all.
Especially when asking for help.
"I won't be here for the next few days, so be careful. If it's not important, you can decide for yourself." Natsu said to Joanna.
"Where to?"
"It's hard to come to Alola, there's always something to see." Natsu raised the corners of his mouth slowly.
