Who is the person riding on the back of Rayquaza?
The opinions are varied.
In any case, this matter was absolutely explosive, both online and offline.
Among every ten people, at least three were discussing this issue.
Even the League attempted to identify him.
But fortunately, Genji was quite reliable and kept this secret well for Natsuhiko.
And what about Natsuhiko, the mysterious person at the center of the event who was being discussed the most?
He... quietly returned to Sinnoh.
Concealing his achievements and fame.
Two days later.
Natsuhiko finished all miscellaneous matters and slept for a whole day and night after returning to his dojo in Suiyi Town.
Sitting in the dojo's study, he finally had time to sort out the gains from this incident.
First.
What was most important and also had the greatest impact on him.
Alakazam, Togekiss, and Aegislash all successfully reached the Elite Candidate Level.
Monferno and Latios, although did not make progress in their power level, gained significantly, and have already started preparing to enter the Gym Leader Level.
Eevee, however, successfully reached the Elite Level.
But choosing its evolved form has been a recent headache for Natsuhiko.
Apart from these gains in Pokémon strength, which had a long-lasting impact on Natsuhiko, there were also a few Pokémon that complemented his hunter identity and perfectly matched the characteristics of the "Space Team."
The second space hand Audino, the first physical shield Steelix, and the first special attacker Hatterene.
These filled the gap in Natsuhiko's hunter identity Pokémon completely.
And effectively separated his hunter identity from his real identity.
Among the Pokémon caught, the one Natsuhiko valued the most was undoubtedly the Elite Trainer Level Hydreigon.
However, the Hydreigon was quite temperamental, and Natsuhiko hadn't tried to tame it yet.
Next.
There were those Pokémon caught for monetary gain.
Total.
6 Elite Candidate Level Pokémon, including three Aggron with extraordinary Dragon Type lineage.
64 Gym Leader Level Pokémon, with varying quality, strength, and value, but it's safe to say their average value would be at least over one million Alliance Coins, with the possibility of reaching one and a half million Alliance Coins.
It still largely depends on market demand.
All these Pokémon combined, the financial gain Natsuhiko made this time was probably close to two small goals.
To him, it was undoubtedly a huge fortune.
It could greatly alleviate his financial pressure.
There was also the Elite Trainer Level Trainer sent by Hoshino Ryuzi to assassinate him, with her five Elite Candidate Pokémon and one Gym Leader Level Pokémon.
Selling these Pokémon, although low-risk, couldn't guarantee absolute safety.
So ultimately, Natsuhiko decided to hand them over to some professional executioners from the Hunter Guild in exchange for necessary materials like Poison Sacs.
As for why there's a risk.
Because he couldn't ensure into whose hands these Pokémon might end up once sold.
If Hoshino Ryuzi or the organization she belonged to paid attention to these Pokémon's movements and bought them.
There were certain means through their memories, descriptions, and other aspects to deduce the situation at the time.
Pokémon that had trainers were different from ordinary Wild Pokémon in terms of their knowledge reserve and could vaguely describe the events to some extent.
Natsuhiko and Hoshino Ryuzi were almost on the verge of a fallout, he wasn't afraid of being known for the person he killed.
The primary concern was the potential exposure of Super Evolution.
Although the possibility was less than one in ten thousand.
After all, so much time had passed, and the Pokémon Realm was enormous, the likelihood of them being sold to whoever they wanted was extremely thin.
Part of the reason was also that Natsuhiko wanted to enhance Beedrill's toxin using these Poison Sacs.
Elite Candidate Level Pokémon's Poison Sacs were not something you could buy easily.
Besides these Pokémon to be sold and utilized for their remaining value, there was inevitably that large group of Shiinotic and Morelull.
Natsuhiko planned to place them in his Pasture to see if he could recreate the scene of the Fairy Forest in Rayquaza's Alternate Space.
Once the Fairy Type emerged, their value would soar dramatically.
These were all gains in terms of Pokémon.
As for items and tools.
The most notable were these few.
A Rayquaza's Dragon Scale, Latios' Super Evolution Stone, two Elite Trainer Level "Dragon Scales," two Dark-type Pure Crystals, and the "Earth's Membrane" that Aegislash used on the spot.
Listing all these.
Natsuhiko stretched in his chair.
With a cup of coffee, he turned his chair to look out the floor-to-ceiling window, inhaling the slightly bitter yet invigorating rich aroma, a smile appeared on his face.
Alternate Space, although dangerous, each entry was a massive boost in strength or resources for him.
"High risk but also high reward."
The money he was about to get, Natsuhiko had already decided to use a large portion to exchange for top-level Energy Blocks tailored to Pokémon.
Outside the window.
Suiyi Town had entered a period of rapid development.
In the town, you could almost always see at least two or three Devon Company construction sites if you just looked up.
Moreover.
In various corners of the town, ads for the "Devon Small Cup Competition" were posted.
Although the planning time for this was much longer than Natsuhiko had imagined, it allowed him to catch the beginning of the competition just in time.
Knock knock——
"Please come in."
