Chương 30: New Champion In Hoenn, Wallace

"F**k!, It's so annoying," Hisoka smacked his hand on the table and leaned his back on the chair. He felt as if there was someone out there against him.

He had been searching for Prism Scale on many auction websites for two whole hours. Although Prism Scale is quite rare, there are still some of them in circulation. He had found this information by looking through the transaction history of many large auction sites. And just a few minutes ago, he had found that a Prism Scale was currently up for bidding.

The seller was from the Johto region. According to the information written on the page, the mysterious and colorful scale was accidentally discovered by a fisherman in Cianwood City this morning. Thinking that it might be worth something, he decided to put it up for auction.

However, when he was about to bid for the item, suddenly another buyer bought it instantly.

300,000 Pokedollars

It was bought for 300,00 dollars in an instant. Hisoka was really pissed as he stared at the now sold Prism Scale. Unfortunately, there's nothing he could do about it. It's already been sold to the other rich people.

The fisherman probably thought it was just some collectible item and should attract a few buyers, so he just sold it at the low starting price of 3,000 dollars with a Buy-It-Now option at 300,000 dollars.

Hisoka could imagine the surprise on the fisherman's face that someone was willing to splurge on what he thought was just a fancy scale.

After calming himself down, he turned back his attention to the already sold Prism Scale. He then quickly typed on the keyboard while inserting a flash drive into the laptop.

"Let me see. Where does this rich guy come from?"

He is quite good at hacking, and the flash drive contained hacking programs that he has written over the years. Sometimes, he would hack into a few research institutes' main computers to obtain some information to verify some unclear conjectures.

Moreover, the current Pokemon world paid less attention to their cyber network security. In fact, Hisoka could probably sell some important information to black organizations for large sums of money. But doing this will probably attract the attention of the Alliance. So he strictly used his hacking skills only to obtain a little information.

A few minutes later, a flashing red dot appeared on his screen, which was displaying the world's map. Hisoka managed to track the IP address of the other party to the Hoenn region. After successfully locking the unknown buyer's current region, he continued to type on the keyboard as he searched for the detailed location of the IP address.

He continued tracking the IP address until it finally stopped at a particular place in Sootopolis City, Sootopolis Gym.

"So, it's him."

A smile appeared on Hisoka's face as he opened the official website of Hoenn League. A second later, an eye-catching image appeared on the homepage. It was the image of a tall, thin young man with light blue eyes and teal blue hair that curls gracefully around his head. He wore long white pants, which are connected to his teal upper shirt. He also has a purple undershirt, which covers a part of his chest. Lastly, he sported green, transparent stripes on his shoulders and a small white cape, as well as a pair of tri-bracelets on his arms.

(AN: I'm changing Alliance to League now.)

He is Wallace, the former Gym Leader of Sootopolis City Gym. He is the current League Champion of the Hoenn region. It was during January last year when he became the new Champion and the symbolic figure of the Hoenn League.

There are as many as four Elite Four in the League, but only one trainer could be the Champion. And only the strongest trainer in a region can represent as the region's Champion.

The new Hoenn's Champion, Wallace, is different from usual. He is not only a Pokemon Trainer but also a Pokemon Coordinator.

Originating in the Hoenn region, Pokemon coordinating is based on showing off Pokemon in visually impressive ways. It also refers to the act of raising Pokemon, particularly for Pokemon Contests, rather than for regular battles. Therefore, in the eyes of most people, a coordinator should be far inferior to a trainer specializing in Pokemon battles in terms of actual combat.

But Wallace broke this cognition. There has never been a Champion who specialized in both paths before him. Hisoka remembered that the news of Wallace becoming the League Champion last year caused quite a stir.

Wallace and Hoenn's former Champion, Steven Stone, are good friends. There is a rumor circulating on the Internet that the two had a private battle. And the result was that Wallace, who was a Pokemon Coordinator, won. Defeated and frustrated, Steven gave up the title of League Champion to his friend Wallace.

Of course, it was only a rumor anyway. As for whether it is true or not, Hisoka is not sure, nor does he interested to know.

As a person who has no experience as an Elite Four but suddenly became a League Champion, it only shows that Wallace's strength is unfathomable.

'Couldn't offend this guy,' this thought ran around Hisoka's mind.

He immediately gave up the idea of planting a virus on the opponent's main computer. The anger of a League Champion is not something a small bronze-rank Hunter like him can handle.

However, as a vindictive person, he still needs to do something to the other party for ruining his chance of obtaining a Prism Scale. He secretly copied the top-secret videos and materials in the other party's main computer and then disconnected himself from the network after erasing all traces.
