...
Far in the sky.
An Aerodactyl swiped quickly across the sky, its flapping wings rolling up the clouds, leaving a trail of bright white trails.
Flickering——
The red cloak screeched loudly, and the resolute face had a hint of curvature.
When the ferocious airflow blew on his face, it suddenly became much smaller, and it only gently moved the ends of his hair.
Finding the special headset in his ear, "It's me, Lance, on the way."
The person above Aerodactyl was the future champion, Lance, now he was an official investigator of the Alliance, who had been successfully promoted to mid-level investigator after his contributions and hard work.
Currently en route to a mission as directed by the Alliance.
"I won't let him run away again this time, I'll arrest him."
"That's it, I'm almost there, I hope your proofs can be issued as soon as possible, otherwise, it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble."
A vast continent appeared in Lance's sight.
With that, he hung up.
Take out the phone.
The tasks he completed during this period were recorded above, most of which were successful options, the only one displayed was "to be completed".
He's a perfectionist.
The pursuit of task completion is like obsessive-compulsive disorder.
However, there are other reasons for his dedication to this task.
Because the goal of this mission is inextricably linked with the person he has been looking for, as long as he finds this person, he may be able to obtain information about her.
...
In the other side
"I'm here."
"Well, I'm here. I'm standing by the flower bed at the exit of Slateport Harbor. The one in the black suit and the black hat." Natsu put the phone away. He put it by his ear and spoke softly .
Soon.
Squeak——
With the Screech of the tires rubbing against the Ground, a luxurious car stopped in front of Natsu.
The door opens.
"Get in the car."
Looking at the elegant and handsome man in a small dress with a smile on the corner of his mouth in front of him, it is the stone hobby, Steven Stone .
"didn't expect you're still free."
Natsu got into the car.
When he arrived in the Hoenn Region, he really wanted to meet Steven, and for nothing else, he just wanted to let him help him sell some of his belongings.
For example, the two intermediate rank evolution stones obtained earlier.
As for the Dusk Stone of Top Rank quality that he just got, the funds in his hand are not so short, so he can put it away a little.
Top Rank quality evolution stones are still very rare, and when they meet the right buyer, the price will be ridiculously high.
The main reason is that neither the Pokémon teleporter nor the Items teleporter has been developed and researched, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome.
Natsu wanted to ask where Steven was and go find him himself.
Unexpectedly, Steven happened to be in Slateport City. Hearing that he was in the Hoenn Region, he immediately came to pick him up.
The car drives smoothly.
"Just in time for the promotion of Slateport City and some local Chamber of Commerce communication tools, otherwise you'll have to go to Rustboro City to find me." Steven sorted out his sleeves and said with a smile.
"That tool?" Natsu asked with a thought.
"Well, we cooperated with Silver, and Alliance fully supports it. That tool has been upgraded several times. Now it has more complete functions, more complete equipment, and less trouble to install."
"That's really the blessing of the trainers." Natsu said with a smile.
"Yeah."
Steven is still more than enthusiastic about doing good things for all the Trainers in the Pokémon world.
"However, Steven, this kind of tool involves all the personal information and secrets of Trainer, the protection of the database should be taken seriously, otherwise I think there should be some people who are afraid or unwilling to do so. Use."
Everyone has their own little secrets to some extent, some may be irrelevant, and some may involve some people's secrets, such as some chat content, if they can be flipped at will Look, that will undoubtedly make many people have scruples in their hearts.
Steve nod at their agreement, "It's true, the biggest obstacle we encountered during the promotion process was that some people were worried that secrets would be viewed will be."
For this At one point, Natsu was deeply moved.
"But you can rest assured, or everyone can rest assured, the final database of this tool is stored in the database of the Alliance, even if the Elite Four of a certain Region wants to view it, The permissions are not enough, at least two or more Elite Four are required to qualify."
"Also, the protection of the database by the Alliance is also the entire world cream of the crop."
Steven is quite confident about this.
As the Eldest Young Master of Devon Company, he has access to more things and secrets than the ordinary person.
And even as one of the developer's important figures, he is not eligible to view the database.
Hearing this, Natsup nods.
'putting it that way, even Team Rocket, deeply infiltrated by Silph Co., wanted to see the information behind this tool, but couldn't do it. '
Even the Elite Four can't be viewed alone, and the level of visibility is extremely high.
This indeed paved the way for the future Pokémon Pokédex developed by Professional Oak.
Although the appearance of this tool will inevitably allow some people with ulterior motives to use it, it is definitely a good thing for most Trainers.
The car stopped.
The door is opened.
Outside are the tall buildings row upon row.
Slateport City, as the largest seaport city in Hoenn Region, is second only to Rustboro City where Devon Company is located, and it is also one of the famous metropolises in Hoenn Region.
"Let's go, I'll show you around and see the customs of the Hoenn Region."
Steven got off the bus first.
Natsu walked out after hesitating for a while.
Looking up.
In addition to the high-rise buildings that stand in great numbers, you can also pass through the layers of clouds and mist, and you can faintly see a huge mountain standing in a very distant place, but it is too far away and you can only see it. to a rough outline.
"That's Mt. Chimney, the largest mountain in the Hoenn Region, with the characteristic Mt. Chimney hot springs at the foot of the mountain, if there is an opportunity, I can take you to try it out. The minerals in Volcano blend into Hot spring water, it's the most relaxing way for people and Pokémon."
Steve noticed Natsu's gaze, introduced with a smile.
"But you may have to wait a while, I've been busy lately, or I can arrange for someone to take you there."
"Then why are you still free to pick me up? ?"
"Always do your best as a landlord watch, and besides, I still have an hour and a half to rest." While speaking, Steven looked down at his, and the time was accurate.
Natsu was a little speechless.
Steven's business is so busy, the first hobby is to collect all kinds of stones, becoming a Trainer can only be ranked third at most.
In this way, I can still become a champion in the future, and it is not the kind of champion that is purely based on resources.
I have to admit that innate talent is indeed terrifying.
"Where do you want to hang out first? Or do you want something special?" Steven asked.
"I want to sell these two things first." Natsu spread his hands, and the two evolution stones lay quietly in the palm of his hand.
"Don't bother."
Steven laughed.
Following beckoned, a staff member walked from the store next to him. After receiving Steven's affirmation, he took the evolution stone from Natsu and left quickly.
If it wasn't for the person Steven called, Natsu really thought it was a robbery.
"He"
"He will put these two evolution stones into the Devon shop to sell, and when the time comes I will directly credit your account."
Natsu lowered his eyes.
Do all the rich do this?
Sorry, poverty does limit his imagination.
"That pays him."
Steve waved his hand, "No, he's a Devon employee."
Natsu looked up and moved towards that. The store where people come out is obviously a noodle restaurant.
Then Natsu suddenly seemed to think of something, moved towards all the shops in the whole street, his expression was a little stiff, and the corners of his eyes began to twitch uncontrollably.
"This street, shouldn't it be"
Steven calmly nodded, "It's all Devon industry, in order to speed up the promotion, I bought the whole street ."
"Just bought it?"
"No, three days ago."
Natsu gave a thumbs up.
"Sorry."
He didn't feel like he deserved to be with Steven.
