Chapter 591 Suspected

...

Last night.

The sun was visible on a dark night.

Under Mount Stark.

Wild Pokémon's hearts flash from time to time what they saw last night.

It made no sense to look at the sun even though it was night, but that was the reality.

A dazzling beam of light, a temperature that illuminates the body.

It's the sun!

How long.

Under the rich cover of volcanic ash, they haven't seen the true sun?

Been a long time

Today.

Pokemon on Stark Mountain seems to be full of life again.

They believe that what they saw yesterday indicates that they will gradually move towards a better life in the future.

"Hmm"

Lance lay on the ground, his eyelids trembling slightly, he slowly opened his eyes.

Not dead?

Oh yeah, Natsu appears at the end.

His consciousness gradually recovered, and yesterday's memories slowly surfaced in his mind.

Natsu?

"Nats!" Lance had a sudden reaction and sat up abruptly.

"You sleep well."

As he was looking for Natsu, a familiar voice came from behind him.

Lance quickly turned around.

Natsu, dressed slightly in tatters, was sitting cross-legged on a rock behind him, a Pokémon egg discreetly placed between his knees.

Even though the Pokémon's egg wasn't a Dragon-Type Pokémon, the rich life-energy made the other, usually calm power in Lance's body active.

"What's going on here?" Lance blinked.

Natsu rolled his eyes angrily "Nothing, it was your sleeping appearance that sent Heatran off."

Lance: "."

Just because I passed out doesn't mean I'm stupid, moron.

Natsu stood up, dusted himself off, and carefully put the Pokemon egg back into his backpack, "Okay, mission accomplished, It's time to go home."

"Wait a minute, Dragonite and other?" Lance finds no trace of his own Pokemon.

In fact, they've been awake for a long time and couldn't contain their frustration. So as not to disturb the others, they gone outside for training.

This is the only way to release the frustation.

"Why did you suddenly get Pokemon eggs?"

The two walked out of the cave and left Stark Mountain.

Natsu turned his backpack over, felt the temperature on his back, and looked up at the sky below Mount Stark.

Volcanic ash still blankets.

But he always feels that the sun today is very comfortable.

The corners of his mouth curled up, "A friend left it"

"A friend?"

Lance was stunned, looking at Natsu who was walking in front.

He always felt that a lot of things happened last night, but it was a pity that he was in the dark about it.

But

A smile slowly appeared on Lance's face.

That's enough.

The most important thing is that he and Natsu are safe, right?

Things don't end at Stark Mountain until Natsu and Lance leave.

Last night, the sun appeared at the top of Stark Mountain, not only Pokemon on Stark Mountain saw it, but also several Trainers in the Battle Area, who came to block under Lance's orders. The Alliance staff in the area near the Mountain naturally saw it too.

This incident even caused a stir on the Internet.

Many people have speculated as to what could be causing this.

Are there any legendary Pokemon?

And the Sinnoh Alliance, also showed quite a bit of concern.

...

Inside the Mount Stark.

Due to the appearance of Heatran, it had caused a messy cave.

An old man with white hair and a white beard, but he was very neatly dressed and took care of himself meticulously, and a staff plated on the handle slowly appeared here.

The old man first looked around, tense and frowning.

Swish-

A black claydol with a red eye ring appeared beside him.

Psychic radiated from Claydol's body, sweeping through the entire cave area in a circle.

The old man smacked his mouth, "Looks like the traces have been cleaned."

But Claydol still held the thumb-sized crystal with Psychic and appeared in front of the old man.

"Scale powder? Rich Fire-Type energy, is that Volcarona scale powder? It seems that the 'sun' last night was a Volcarona." The old man nodded.

He continued to stare blankly at the mess in front of him.

Although many traces have been lost due to the damage done.

But as an Elite Four, and a seasoned Elite Four veteran, things could be deduced even just by looking at them.

The most basic result, this kind of destruction, wasn't something that a Gym Leader level Pokémon would have.

The old man looked at the surging lava.

"Is that what sleeps in it? Then they can still survive, is it luck? Or"

Muttered to himself, the old man's originally friendly expression, gradually a little gloom revealed.

"Or what?"

Suddenly.

A hoarse and low voice sounded behind the old man.

The sudden sound made his heart skip a beat.

He turned to take a look.

In shadow.

An old woman with a hunched waist and a wooden staff walked slowly out from the shadows.

The gloom on the old man's face instantly disappeared, revealing a warm smile, "Agatha Elite, didn't expect you to come too."

Which will come.

It's Natsu's cheap teacher, Agatha!

Agatha glanced at him, a fake smile on her face, Agatha didn't buy it at all.

She only said sullenly: "Ryuichi Elite, I don't care if you want to investigate problem your grandson, but don't put your hands on my disciple, don't go around doubting people, it's very bad character. ."

And the old man who first arrived here was the current Rock-Type Elite Four of the Sinnoh Region, Ryuichi Hoshino!

Agatha who has a bad temper and quirky personality, doesn't respect Ryuichi.

Agatha hates men who stay in the Elite Four and refuses to step down.

Compared to Pryce, who had just descended among the few people she knew, she immediately felt that there was a huge gap.

So she didn't have the good slightest impression of Ryuichi.

Ryuichi was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Agatha Elite is joking."

Faced with other people's undisguised rudeness, Ryuichi actually still managed to smile showing his depth.

Agatha looked at him deeply.

Each minding their own business walking past him into the lava.

Even though Baird was dead, as the Head in Charge, she still needed to check on the situation.

As Agatha passed by, the smile on Ryuichi's face gradually disappeared.

but lo and behold.

A dark head emerged from Agatha's shadow, moving towards her and making a face.

It's Gengar!

Agatha has a Poke Ball in her hands.

Inside is the Magmortar, which Lance handed over.

"Looks like the rumors of Magmar and evolution are true, so the person who came up with this theory at the time also mentioned a possibility."

Agatha's eyes flickered.

"Electivire."

Completed task.

...

Solaceon Town.

Submission of search reports, etc., were all done with a handover, and Natsu returned to Solaceon Town.

Entered the back of the gym, his private residence.

Extensive study.

In front of the now empty row of bookshelves, Natsu leaned back in his chair, eyes unfocused, his fingers lightly tapping on the edge of the desk.

Knock, knock, knock

At his feet, eight Eevees strutting around, looking like they're having fun.

The "Eevve Evve" growls are endless.

Suddenly.

The gray Eevee hopped into Natsu's lap, caressing him affectionately.

"Evv~~"

Natsu came back to his senses, smiled and reached out and gently stroked the very soft Eevee.

Instead he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this scene, the other Eevees immediately stopped.

One by one jump on him.

Not long.

Natsu has Eevee all over him.

Natsu was also very helpless about this.

Eevee was the most exaggerated Pokémon he had ever seen.

It's no wonder that many wealthy women love to keep Eevee.

After a while, Natsu finally "got rid" of these little ones.

But after they made such a ruckus, Natsu, who had always been slightly unable to understand the gaps in his mind, suddenly reacted.

"The Magmortar evolves through normal means, the 'Magmarizer' prototype should be there, and the 'she' mentioned by Baird should be Tom Ritchie as expected, so isn't it about the 'Electrizer' to appear along with the 'Magmarizer'? "

Thinking of this, Natsu sat down slowly.

Knock, knock, knock

Keep tapping his finger on the desk.

"'Electirizer' can evolve Electabuzz into Electivire. As a Pokémon with the best physical attack in Electric-Type Pokemon, it is a good choice to make up for her shortcomings"

Big Most of Electric Type Pokemon are actually good at special attacks, at least relatively few are good at physical attacks.

Certainly not without it, like Luxray who is good at physical attacks.

But the Luxray's speed was flawed.

"Team Rocket got the gene, Tom Ritchie got the 'Electirizer,' and Baird was the bait, but it was quite delayed."

Natsu didn't know if his guess was right.

But he thinks it makes sense.

He took a deep breath.

"I'm thinking of a way to get stronger."

"What way?"

Suddenly.

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his study.

Natsu stood up slowly when he heard the voice, a bit helpless on his face.

"Teacher, i have a door."

Seeing Agatha who suddenly appeared on the sofa in front of the table, Natsu sneered.

Agatha raised her eyelids to show that she understood.

"Teacher, why are you here?" he asked.

"Come to you to confirm one thing." Agatha took a snack on the coffee table.

"Something?"

"Does Hoshino's grandson have anything to do with you?"

Hearing this, Natsu was shocked.

Why are you mentioning this all of a sudden?

But soon.

Natsu reacted.

Was he responsible for the Stark Mountain incident?

But Natsu remembers that he did a great job cleaning up the scene before leaving, leaving no traces behind.

Agatha looked at him, casually said "What? You think that after cleaning up traces of the crime scene, an old Elite can't see anything?"

Natsu smirked bar.

"Teacher, look what you said, how come, how much relationship does Elite's grandson have with me, clearing traces just because some information about my hunter's identity does not want to be disclosed."

This kind of thing is hard to say, at least it can't be said by Natsu, otherwise, even if he has his reasons, what is the value?

"Huh—" Agatha chuckled, "That's true."

"En?"

Agatha stood up slowly, with a cane. "In the future, no matter who asks this kind of question, just follow this respone."

"Eh" Natsu opened his mouth.

So Master, you think I do too?

Natsu didn't say this, but he felt close enough.

"He already suspects you," said Agatha.

Natsu was very calm.

Nod.

Hesitant?

Hadn't Ryuichi suspected many people for a long time?

Coming uninvited to watch the "Lily of the Valley Youth Tournament" was the best proof of that.

But failed to lock anyone.

But this time in Stark Mountain, Natsu and Lance survived, and it got his attention.

Not to mention that Natsu.

At least Natsu has more weight in his heart than the others. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the number one target of suspicion.

As for talking about Lance?

Haha --

"But don't worry, he doesn't dare to do anything to you personally, he dares to look for you, I dare to look for him." Agatha consoled Natsu.

This is the support of teacher.

Natsu was still a little moved.

"But if he sends someone to deal with you, that's up to you," Agatha added.

Natsu: "."

He took back his emotions now.

Although Agatha looks down on Ryuichi Hoshino, one thing that can't be denied is that he has been sitting in this position of the Elite Four for so long, and he has accumulated a legacy that most of the Elite Four don't have.

On the level of personal connection, I'm afraid that no one in the entire Sinnoh Region can match him.

"Don't worry too much, I commemorate him today, he wouldn't dare to do anything to you in a short time, just work hard to improve yourself.

After all, you are also Gym Leader in Sinnoh, he doesn't have enough evidence to bully you, so tell the Alliance about it and see what they do."

Natsu is a Gym Leader.

If the Elite Four shot the Gym Leader without any evidence, what would the other Gym Leaders in the Sinnoh Region think?

So.

On the surface he had nothing to worry about.

Safe at least in the Gym.

There he is.

Agatha walked slowly towards the door.

"By the way, let me tell you some news. In the Hunter's Guild, several people have investigated your identity, and they haven't found anything. But this is good news, it means that you have received enough attention."

As Agatha's silhouette slowly disappeared into the dark corridor.

Natsu returned to his seat.

Since Agatha had said that Ryuichi Hoshino didn't dare to trouble himself, Natsu wasn't really that worried.

Test yourself with impossible Gym Leader levels.

Cold and severe flashed in his eyes.

"Coincidentally the competition for seats in the Hunter's Guild is about to begin, so take advantage of this opportunity to avoid the limelight."

After all, it's just a suspicion, this kind of old fox can't be blatant because of the suspicion of doing something.

The Elite Four status was very important to him, otherwise he wouldn't have to endure and refuse to step down.

But that's also a problem.

He definitely couldn't find any evidence.

Heh~

...
