Soon after, a figure also descended from the sky.

Plop.

Clad in black, with one hand on the brim of a black top hat, they gently landed beside the Snorlax.

"Natsuka!"

Seeing the newcomer, Joanna's solemn face finally showed a hint of joy.

He had come.

Of course, it was Natsuhiko, who received Joanna's message and arrived fashionably late.

With Noivern's speed, it only takes a few minutes to get from Hikelani Mountain to Malieu City.

But during those few minutes, quite a bit seemed to have happened.

Natsuhiko's gaze swept around, and upon seeing the crimson on Joanna's shoulder, he furrowed his brow.

His vision shifted, landing on the group opposite.

It all clicked in his mind.

No wonder.

It turned out there were two competitors present.

Otherwise, with Joanna's strength and the help he left for her, she shouldn't be in such a dire state.

At least she should've been able to hold on until he returned safely.

There was a problem among his people.

Natsuhiko had anticipated this.

He just wasn't quite sure who had issues.

He delayed the original plan to directly deal with other Hunters just to identify these people.

After all, even Miss Q's trusted aides could potentially be bribed and swayed.

These core Hunters, seemingly at the fringes with little presence, could easily be lured and defected.

He remembered, the hunter Tom Rokicki used as a stepping stone, Hunter A, was also a regular from the Sinnoh Region.

Her penetration into the Hunters of the Sinnoh Region should have been the most thorough.

Therefore, Natsuhiko had foreseen such a situation.

But he didn't know when it would happen, nor could he waste his own time just waiting for these people.

So he left two Vikavolts to assist Joanna.

The competitors for the spot had come.

And two of them, no less.

Seeing each other, instead of colliding, they actually teamed up against him.

This situation exceeded Natsuhiko's expectations.

So.

When Joanna spoke of "them," Natsuhiko only said he was too presumptive.

But the current situation wasn't so bad.

They were injured, but no one had died yet.

Most importantly.

Not only had they identified two problematic hunters from his team.

They had also lured in the two competing for the spot who chose to land on Ula ula Island.

This spared them the unnecessary trouble of finding them.

"Are you Natsuka?"

Kasbi saw the Snorlax and Natsuhiko, and his sharp voice sounded again.

Natsuhiko ignored him, simply tossing a vial of medicine to Joanna, and said softly, "Special effect."

Upon hearing this.

Joanna didn't hesitate, grabbing the bottle with one hand, biting off the cap, and directly spraying it on her wound.

Soon, the crimson on the wound stopped flowing.

Yet her face became somewhat pale.

Seeing her wound stop, Natsuhiko tossed over some more medicine.

"For restoring health. The rest is for the Pokémon, and the others."

"Okay," Joanna responded.

With Natsuhiko back, a lot of the pressure on her shoulders was alleviated.

As Kasbi saw Natsuhiko ignoring him, his expression instantly darkened.

Beside him, Seminna, however, looked at Natsuhiko with great interest.

"They..."

Joanna, while attending to the Pokémon's injuries and distributing medicine to the other injured hunters, couldn't help but speak up.

Although this attack was among the things she and Natsuhiko anticipated.

But dealing with two competitors for the spot wasn't easy.

She couldn't help but feel some concern.

But before she could finish speaking, she saw Natsuhiko casually throw out two Pokeballs.

Appearing in the glow of red.

Were Bewear.

And the relatively recently captured Oranguru.

Joanna looked at the Oranguru, momentarily stunned.

Had he gotten stronger again?

Then she heard Natsuhiko's light words.

"Don't worry, it'll be quick."
