Chapter 612 Tricky stage and go back (two-in-one)
...
"Damn, don't let Young Lady remember that."
That night, Faba came out of the lab with a dirty mouth.
"Mr. Faba."
Suddenly.
As Faba walked out the door of the B2 lab, he heard a voice that made his very sick.
Natsu!
Due to Natsu's help, Lillie's recovery was very effective. Even though she was still relatively afraid of some ferocious-looking Pokémon, relatively cute and good-looking Pokémon such as Alolan Vulpix, Eevee, Gardevoir, and Gothitelle are not too afraid.
So Lusamine gave him high authority.
In the entire Aether Paradise, except for a few secret places, he can't enter, and he can go to other areas.
And this B2 laboratory is one place that Natsu can't enter.
But that didn't stop him from waiting for Faba outside the door.
"What are you doing here?" Faba glanced at Natsu.
Although Faba is arrogant, greedy and cunning, he also has a very good trait, namely loyalty.
From start to finish, Faba never thought of betraying the Aether Foundation and Lusamine. What he's after is getting more attention from Lusamine.
Of course it couldn't be denied that Faba had certain abilities, otherwise he wouldn't be able to become the minister of research in an organization like the Aether Foundation.
Natsu lifted his hat.
"Nothing, just found something interesting on Lady Lillie today and would like to ask Mr Faba's opinion." Natsu said calmly.
Hearing this, Faba's face stiffened.
"What's that?"
Natsu looked at him with a faint smile "I think Mr. Faba knows more than me?"
"You? What do you mean?" Faba said solemnly.
"It's okay. It seems Mr. Faba doesn't know either. When Chief Lusamine finds me, I can only tell the truth."
After he finished speaking, Natsu waved his hand and moved towards the outside.
Faba's eyes flickered as he watched Natsu leave.
An evil look flashed in his eyes.
Two Poké Balls appear in Faba's hands, opening simultaneously.
Appearing at the red light are Alakazam and Hypno.
However.
Before Alakazam and Hypno could move, in the dimly lit hallway, an emerald green fan swayed gently.
Quash!
Alakazam and Hypno were immediately affected and stopped some of the actions they wanted to take.
About--
The black transparent formation opened.
Immediately after that, a red light was shot from Natsu's body.
"Laaxx!"
A large silhouette of Snorlax appeared in front of Alakazam and Hypno.
rumble.
Snorlax's mouth was full of dark and rich Dark Type energy, and he bit into Hypno's body.
Crunch!
bang!!
Hypno staggered backwards.
A milky white beam shot out of the shadow behind Natsu, and while locking onto Snorlax, Snorlax barely stopped, and fired another "Crunch" at Alakazam next to him.
Alakazam tries to block with Psychic.
But Psychic's movements like as thin as a blank sheet of paper in front of Dark Type's "Crunch".
Alakazam was also forced to take a few steps back.
"Laxx!"
Snorlax stood straight, his head almost touching the ceiling, his small eyes narrowed, staring at Alakazam and Hypno.
It wasn't what Natsu expected.
Even though Faba was an Executive of the Aether Foundation, however, as a scientific researcher, there was still a large distance between him and the Executive who was actually in charge of the battle.
Tell the truth.
It comes as a surprise to Natsu that Faba has two quasi-Elite Pokémon.
If Faba wants it, it is estimated that it is difficult to destroy it with the resources of the Aether Foundation.
And Faba is a real worry when it comes to the fight.
"Mr. Faba, if you choose to do this, it is very boring."
Natsu moved towards Faba step by step with a stern face.
In the shadows behind him, Oranguru also walked slowly, the fan in his hand flapping gently.
Oranguru glanced at Natsu and made a note in his heart.
When using "Trick Room" to deal with some more flexible enemies, you must first give "Quash", so that the opponent can only fight with his own frontal strength, the chance of winning is greater.
With Natsu, Oranguru also learned something.
Faba's forehead was dripping with sweat. Seeing Natsu getting closer, he didn't flinch at all and said, "What do you want to do? Monitoring is everywhere here, I am a research Minister of the Aether Foundation."
"Monitoring? Did you say that?"
Natsu tilted his head.
Faba followed his gaze, his face suddenly pale.
For some time, Bewear was standing in a corner, playing with the camera in his hands curiously.
"This.."
Faba's expression froze.
so!
Natsu's palm rested on his shoulder at some point.
"Don't worry, even if the surveillance is broken, I won't do anything to you."
He couldn't completely hide it.
Find him?
Even though his strength wasn't that great, he was also an Executive of the Aether Foundation.
"What do you want?" Faba also wanted to understand, but she was still a little worried about Natsu being so close to her.
"About lady Lillie, is that you?" Natsu approached Faba and whispered.
"You.."
"What about deal?"
"Deal?"
...
...
Lusamine's private residence.
Dining room.
A long table long enough to seat twenty people eating together.
Lusamine sat in the front seat, Lillie and Gladion sat on the left and right of Lusamine, and Natsu sat next to Lillie.
"Gladiom, you take Lillie to play." Lusamine said, stroking the heads of the two young children with concern.
"Okay, mother"
Gladion left the dining room, pulling Lillie who still wanted Natsu to tell her story.
This time, there were only two of them left.
There are several things that can be said.
"Mr Yanxia, should I call you Yanxia intelligence agent? Or Yanxia Hunters Guild?" Lusamine said bluntly.
Natsu shrugged "It's all the same."
"Then you approached our Aether Foundation for guild development?"
Natsu played with his hand while smiling. fork.
"That's half the reason."
"Oh? What about the other half?" Lusamine's eyebrows rose.
Right now, she really looked like the Boss of a large organization.
Lusamine definitely can.
Is it power or means.
If not.
How did the Aether Foundation grow to what it is today after her husband, Professor Mohn disappeared?
Usually she looks good, just because she needs such a disguise.
Of course.
It wouldn't be wrong for her to take her children seriously.
But from Gladion and Lillie's nicknames, one is "mom" and the other is "mother", it can be seen that their relationship is not as good as one might think.
"The other half is for me, of course" Natsu said without any pretense.
"Tell me."
"It's too early to tell."
Natsu put down his fork and looked at Lusamine seriously.
Continue: "But you can rest assured, Chief, I can provide you with appropriate remuneration no matter what you do."
"Remuneration?"
Natsu solemnly nodded "A gift of absolutely equal value."
"Like as?"
"Like as, the Ultra Beast, and another instance of the 'Shining God'."
Lusamine narrowed her eyes slowly.
...
...
Ula'ula Island.
Police Station in Po City.
Surrounded by a group of very unfriendly looking Alolan Meowth and Alolan Persian, Natsu walked into the shabby looking police station with a smile.
There was nobody in it.
Just a middle-aged man with his head down, playing kendama, with a decadent and haggard face, sitting at the front desk chair.
Merdan narrowed his eyes slowly as he realized that Natsu had walked in, and that Meowth and Persian, originally evil characters, didn't dare approach him.
As for Natsu, he remembered that he had met him once at the entrance of the library.
Merdan sat down.
"Mr. Merdan." Natsu who entered the police station pulled a chair across from Merdan.
Merdan, who usually likes to joke around and bully some tourists who don't know him, didn't do it in front of Natsu.
"Are you Yanxia?" Merdan remembered that Acerola had mentioned Yanxia's name to him.
"It's me." Natsu nodded.
"What are you doing here?"
The kendama in Merdan's hands was jumping up and down. Meowth and Persian, who looked grumpy, obeyed. Along with the kendama in his hand, he swung up and down.
"Want to chat with you about your old friend."
Old friend!
Merdan's eyes changed, and the lazy look was no longer there.
Even though he had many old friends, Merdan knew very well that there was only one person who was called "old friend" in Natsu's mouth.
Team Rocket Boss, Giovanni!
"Don't worry, Mr Merdan, take a look at this first." After speaking, Natsu placed the letter on the table and moved towards Merdan.
Merdan didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but when he saw the mark on the letterhead, he was shocked.
Glancing at Natsu, he opened the letterhead.
He changed quickly.
With a shocked and surprised expression, he looked at Natsu and asked, "Are you sure?"
Natsu smirks and takes out what was previously Tapu Bulu's gift, the Sparkling Stone.
"Okay."
...
...
The bow of the boat drives the wind and waves.
This is the Hunter's Guild ship.
Natsu and the others have left the Alola Region.
As confirmed by the Aether Foundation, the Alola Region only has three competitors for the seat, including Natsu.
After confirming that the chair was stable, Natsu stopped wasting time looking for the two people.
He also has consideration.
Some things, big fish won't be hooked without enough bait.
"I almost set the stage for you. When will you appear?"
Seeing the splashing water and Wingull following the boat, Natsu muttered to himself.
Leaving behind some of the things he prepared in secret.
This trip was much smoother than he had imagined.
Be it the competition for the seat of the Hunter's Guild, the interaction between the Alola Region and all influences, or the conquest and capture of the target Pokémon.
This journey.
Very profitable.
Oranguru, who is now the core of the hunter's identity, is also Alakazam's current teacher, so Alakazam has a good understanding of the "Trick Room" move.
Alolan Ninetales and Alolan Vulpix, two Fairy-Type Pokémon awakened by Tapu Bulu.
Although Vulpix's strength is not strong, her future space is not small, and it is very precious.
However.
The current Natsu might not be able to put so much energy into training Vulpix for now.
Partly because of her energy, and partly because Ninetales hopes to be close to her child for a while.
Natsu is very human at this point.
So Vulpix is on his list of alternative Pokemon for now.
Also on the list is Feebas from last time, the Pokémon egg that Volcarona fought for with her own life.
Natsu's goal is clear when it comes to Pokémon development.
Most of his energy is now mainly in the four main Pokémon: Beedrill, Alakazam, Togekiss, and Aegislash.
Maybe when he enters the quasi-Elite stage, his strength increase speed is relatively slow, he will have more energy and will try to cultivate more Pokemon.
But now.
Whether it is Alakazam or Togekiss or Aegislash, in fact, the evolution time is not very long, and they are in the stage of rapid strength improvement, and need to pay close attention.
And Beedrill.
He is the closest thing to a quasi-Elite in his current Pokémon.
It is even more important to understand this critical stage.
After the four of them were Latios, Monferno and Eevee.
The strength of the three little ones was not slow to increase.
But caring for seven Pokémon at the same time was almost his limit.
It's not for nothing that the Alliance stipulates a maximum of six Pokémon per Trainer.
Of course.
An Alternative Pokémon, just saying that it won't be developing and exploiting its abilities for the time being, and some things like Super Pokéblocks are also very necessary.
That didn't mean he wouldn't train them too.
It's only possible to log out sometimes, it doesn't have to be with that.
If he had stayed at the Pokémon ranch in Solaceon Town, he would not have completely neglected them and would have taken them for training.
The same goes for other Eevees.
But now Natsu had identified the little Eevee.
But after all, one's energy is still limited.
Moreover, with his current strength, he was in a somewhat embarrassing stage.
It is very important to take the lead in increasing the power of the main Pokémon.
In addition to these Pokémon, he also harvested group of Vikavolt, Alola Sandslash Quasi-Elite, Weavile, and three Sneasels.
It also included the five Alolan Exeggutor he had captured while traveling to Ula'ula Island.
Dragon Type Pokémon Well, in Gyms Dragon Types are still useful.
Second.
Through the tasks he posted, he harvested two Alolan Sandshrews, two Mareanies, and many Pokemon.
According to a rough estimate, the Pokemon he would sell alone were worth no less than 50 million Alliance coins, and Sandslash and Vikavolt were the biggest.
Of course there are some Pokémon that he will raise, or to "bribe" friends.
Due to the construction of the gym and the development of the ranch, his wallet was completely depleted and had to be replenished.
Include the 5 million Alliance Coins sent by Lusamine and at least 20 million Alliance Coins completed in the last mission's Integral Points.
Natsu's Wallet, again from zero to nearly 75 million Alliance Coins.
Another fat wave.
Only that.
Natsu has a big heart.
He wants to switch Pokéblocks for his Pokemon.
This time.
He wants to replace Pokeblock with Peak Level Pokéblocks.
The highest known Pokéblock.
With his current abilities, he couldn't create this kind of Pokéblock, so he could only find someone to customize it.
This is another big expense.
But he knew it wouldn't save him any money.
Making money is all about training Pokemon.
Especially as a Pokémon prepares to run to Elite levels, leveling up Pokéblocks will likely provide Pokémon with a big helping hand.
There was one more thing he had to prepare for after passing through the Alola Region.
It was the Fairy Type's awakening.
This is bound to happen.
In order to maximize profits, he needed to prepare in advance.
Obtaining a large number of Pokémon that would be Fairy-Type in the future, and Fairy-Type Items as he knew them, had become something he needed to do now.
He is obliged to do this.
With improved Pokéblock Levels, acquisition of Pokémon, Items and more.
His 75 million Alliance Coins, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was not enough.
Think about collecting Mega Evolution stones too.
Standing in the bow, the soft water splashed by the boat breaking through the waves splashes in the face.
Remind him all the time.
Money is not enough.
Go and get it!
