Natsuhiko turned slightly and looked at Shirane, who had a serious expression and seemed to have guessed something. Natsuhiko smiled and bent his eyes.
"Mr. Natsuhiko is a very interesting person. It seems I can use him as a prototype to shape a character." Wanlong murmured thoughtfully.
Shirane and Jade Liya neither agreed nor disagreed.
"Ladies, what would you like for dinner this evening?" Shirane bowed slightly.
...
...
Natsuhiko, leaving Jade Liya's villa, did not leave Ripple Town immediately.
He walked north along the beach.
"There are no signs of the Plasma Team's destroyer docking. This means that the seaside cave and deep-sea relics haven't caught their attention yet.
The battle at this location by the Hunter Guild has nothing to do with the Plasma Team? That's good news.
Jade Liya and the others didn't mention anything in this regard, which isn't intentional concealment. They genuinely don't know."
Natsuhiko murmured to himself, analyzing the intelligence he had at this moment.
He came to Ripple Town in part to find Jade Liya.
Investigating whether the Plasma Team was involved with the Hunter Guild's affairs was another reason.
Or rather.
His main purpose was to investigate if the Plasma Team and the Hunter Guild events in the Unova Region were directly related.
If the Unova Region's Hunter Guild incident is closely related to the Plasma Team, Natsuhiko would have to handle it more cautiously.
But if it has nothing to do with the Plasma Team or the relationship isn't so close, then dealing with it would be relatively simpler.
According to his intelligence.
Outside Ripple Town, in the area of Ripple Bay and the seaside cave, there has been a large-scale battle by the Hunter Guild.
That's why he came here to investigate.
However, he heard no information about this aspect from Jade Liya and the others.
This indicates that the United Alliance also doesn't know for now, or hasn't announced it.
Without the Plasma Team's involvement and the Alliance not intervening, dealing with this matter is much simpler than Natsuhiko imagined.
"Did the Guild discover the deep-sea relic?"
This is Natsuhiko's speculation about the Hunter Guild's battle erupting here.
The deep-sea relics have exploration value.
But not now.
Natsuhiko's trouble is that his main Water-type Pokémon hasn't been determined, so for things requiring him to dive into the deep sea, he mostly postpones.
He summoned Latios, quickly soaring into the upper clouds.
Flying towards Twin Dragons City above the clouds.
Twin Dragons City is a major city in the northern Unova Region, known as "the city where the past and future intertwine."
Along the way.
Natsuhiko saw below the clouds, the "Giant Chasm" standing tall like a menacing mouth.
Unexpectedly, Kyurem should still reside within.
Also, the Holy Swordsmen should be living in the surrounding forests.
Kyurem, hailed as "the strongest dragon."
"The strongest dragon, huh? I wonder what Rayquaza would feel knowing others have such a title for another dragon," Natsuhiko thought to himself.
Indeed.
Kyurem, a Dragon-Type and Ice-Type, if it could obtain the "Genetic Wedge" and merge with Zekrom or Reshiram, transforming into Flame White Form or Dark Form, its attribute advantage would be considerable.
The best at dealing with Dragon Types, besides "Dragon Race Traitor" Super Qixi Cyan Bird, is Kyurem with Dragon and Ice Types.
Rayquaza probably can't defeat it.
Of course, assuming Rayquaza doesn't undergo Super Evolution.
