A major incident has occurred in Japan's Pokémon League!
The death of a Champion-level Trainer or incidents involving Country-level Trainers can send shockwaves across the nation.
However, tonight, three such prominent figures have died.
The league higher-ups immediately held a brief meeting.
The normal procedure for Japan's league meeting involves the Champions first discussing the overall direction.
Once the general direction is established, the details are discussed together by the Country gym leaders and the Champions.
Just like the meeting about Jirachi.
The five Champions began their conversation.
After they finished, the subsequent Champion meeting would take place.
At this moment, in Daitokai, inside a very quaint wooden cabin.
"Takeshi Obaba is dead. What do you all think?"
Oushi, Central Region Champion.
He is the highest leader of the Trainer Association.
No one responded.
Oushi couldn't help but address the old man sitting in a rocking chair, wearing a vest, and feeding a Mime Jr.: "Noaka, can you please go feed it somewhere else?"
Noaka, Eastern Region Champion.
He is the top leader for secret realms and space-time distortions within Japan.
Noaka gently rubbed Mime Jr.'s little face and lifted his head, saying lightly, "My original stance was to let nature take its course."
"If the powers of the gods were so easy to grasp, I would have acted long ago."
"Takeshi Obaba is dead; we can just find someone to replace him."
"You are the one managing these matters; you can decide."
Yamada Roto, sitting beside them, took a sip from his teacup: "Recently, there have been sightings of Lugia in the Atlantic Ocean. We rangers are planning to investigate."
"As for the follow-up, don't ask me to handle it."
Oushi sighed.
"Then let's hold a Champion battle."
"Whoever wins will be the Western Region Champion and responsible for managing and coordinating the conference."
After Oushi finished speaking, he pondered, "Also, what about Kento and Tahara? What should we do with them?"
Yamada Roto continued drinking tea.
Noaka lowered his head, smiling at the Mime Jr. in his arms: "Mime Jr., say 'ah~'"
"Such a good boy~"
Oushi looked speechlessly at the two and then said, "Let Kento live for half a year before he dies; until then, we can find a Ditto to fill in for him."
"After six months, we will re-elect a Fighting type Country Gym Leader."
"As for Tahara, we'll publicly state that he is exploring the secret realms."
Yamada Roto set down his teacup: "I have no objections."
"Finally, we need to discuss the matter of Natsume."
Oushi, feeling a headache, looked at the three people in the room and asked, "What do you all think of this person, Natsume?"
Yamada Roto spoke up: "It was Jirachi that acted; what more can we think?"
"Takehana, you said that Jirachi is completely asleep, or can it still sense changes in the outside world?"
The old man in a suit, who had been silent, suddenly asked a very critical question.
Ryuzaki, Southern Region Champion.
He is the highest leader of the league investigators.
Yamada Roto pondered for a moment and said, "This is actually difficult to discuss."
"Many Pokémon can battle even while asleep, such as the move: Sleep Talk."
"Or the absolutely sleeping Komala."
"Although Jirachi is asleep, who can say for sure that it won't do something in its dreams if something happens at the farm?"
Ryuzaki calmly stated, "If Natsume has a way to awaken Jirachi, then we in Japan would essentially gain another god."
"The most important thing is, since Natsume's Dragonite has the strength to face off against Medicham, Natsume's future achievements will definitely not fall short of a Champion."
"So my opinion is to first see what Natsume plans to do next."
Oushi listened to this and pondered, "In that case, let's have Morimachi's Kaichou talk to Natsume for a bit."
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave; you can preside over the rest of the meeting."
Noaka stood up and said to Oushi, "I have a bunch of Pokémon waiting to be fed at home."
Takehana yawned: "Getting old, can't stay up late at all."
"Let's go, let's go."
Oushi watched the three of them disappear from the meeting room and sighed, "Times have indeed changed."
Pokémon Farm.
Misaki helped Lopunny sweep the shattered glass into a trash can.
She stood by the window, looking outside.
The night was thick.
Dark clouds covered half of the moon.
In the sky, from time to time, people rode on Flying type Pokémon, heading this way.
Misaki's Flygon and some Rotom flew into the sky, intercepting these Trainers and their Pokémon at the edge of the farm.
The commotion from the previous battle at the farm had been too great.
Especially the final clash between Dragonite using Z-Move and Medicham.
The energy waves that illuminated the entire sky radiated to all surrounding cities.
Such a large commotion naturally made many people want to know what was happening here.
Omine was one such Trainer.
He was from Morimachi.
Planning to go out tomorrow, he intended to go to bed early.
He had just taken off his clothes and lay down in bed when he suddenly heard a loud bang.
Omine looked out the window and was shocked to find that the sky had been lit up.
Omine opened his phone and accessed his LINE social network.
The LINE social network was being flooded with posts about the commotion outside.
Posts were continuously refreshing.
"Friends, did you hear that? Is it an earthquake?"
"That scared me! I thought a meteorite had fallen!"
"Damn, my chandelier shook loose and almost hit my head; luckily, my Meowth reacted quickly."
"Does anyone know what happened? What's that enormous beam?"
"I don't know why all my Pokémon just ran outside; they're all staring at that beam."
Someone excitedly said, "Jirachi, it's definitely Jirachi! The legends of Jirachi are real!"
Omine closed his phone and raised his head to look in the direction where the beam had disappeared, murmuring, "That seems to be Natsume's gym leader's farm, right?"
In Morimachi, no one is unaware of Natsume and Natsume's farm and gym.
"Could it be?"
Thinking about this, Omine couldn't sleep anymore.
He said to Cyclizar, who was leaning by the window, "Let's go check it out!"
"Cyclizar~"
Cyclizar had a gentle personality; it loved having humans sit on its back.
Because Cyclizar could warm its back with the human's body heat to fend off the cold.
Historians have found that the relationship between Cyclizar and humans seems to have begun thousands of years ago.
Cyclizar was very fast, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at Natsume's farm.
In the sky, a Flygon, a Rotom, and a Noibat were intercepting the Pokémon flying this way.
"Let me through to take a look."
A Trainer sitting on a Pelipper tried to push through.
"Flygon."
Flygon appeared somewhat hesitant, unsure whether it should take action.
"Serperior~."
Serperior glanced casually at the sky.
Frenzy Plant!
A massive vine grew rapidly, shooting up into the sky.
The vine wrapped around Pelipper's body and mercilessly slammed it down to the ground.
Bam~
The earth trembled with the impact of the Frenzy Plant.
Pelipper instantly fainted.
The Trainers gathered here looked at the Pelipper that had been knocked out cold, their hearts racing.
That power was truly terrifying.
The scene, which had been somewhat chaotic, instantly fell silent.
"Everyone."
Yamada Kaichou from Morimachi stepped out from the crowd.
"I know everyone is very concerned about what has happened."
"We are already investigating the details, and everyone can keep an eye on the Morimachi Trainer official website for updates."
"We will issue an announcement."
"So, for tonight, please head back home."
After Yamada Kaichou's subordinates began to manage the crowd, and with the strong deterrent force of the farm Pokémon, the Trainers who had come to join the commotion started leaving one by one.
"Yamada Kaichou."
Omine, who knew Yamada Kaichou, asked while sitting on Cyclizar, "Was that commotion really related to Jirachi?"
"Speaking of which, I remember there's a Jirachi with the gym leader Natsume; I initially thought it was a Ditto."
"That Jirachi couldn't be real, could it?"
Yamada Kaichou shook his head: "I'm not sure about that either. Just keep an eye on the upcoming announcement."
After finishing his words, Yamada Kaichou walked away from Omine.
Yamada Kaichou said to his Mr. Mime, "Mr. Mime, please help clear the crowd."
"Mr. Mime~"
Mr. Mime nodded slightly, then half-pleadingly, half-forcibly urged the Trainers who were reluctant to leave to vacate the area.
"Roar~"
In the sky, Dragonite's voice echoed.
Natsume and Dragonite landed in front of the farm cabin.
"Rotom, Yamada Kaichou is here."
Rotom flew to Natsume's side after she returned and reported what had just happened: "Some people tried to break in earlier, but they were knocked out by Serperior."
Natsume replied, "I understand."
"Natsume, are you okay?"
Misaki came out of the room, looking concerned as she asked Natsume.
Natsume shook her head slightly: "I'm fine."
"I just brought back some Pokémon."
As Natsume spoke, over forty Poké Balls appeared in front of her.
Bang~
All forty Poké Balls opened at once.
There were twenty Eevee.
Additionally, there were the Grass type line of Bellsprout, Weepinbell, and Victreebel.
The total number of those was ten.
Besides that, there was also a Bulbasaur among the Grass type Pokémon.
The Ground type Pokémon included several Sandshrew and a Drilbur.
Grass type and Ground type Pokémon are the ones that can most intuitively experience changes in the earth.
The average potential of these Pokémon reached the Elite level.
Bulbasaur's potential is at most Near Champion level.
The focus of this laboratory is Jirachi.
Natsume speculated that the fate of this batch of Pokémon would likely be as the first trial subjects.
The original plan for biotechnology was to develop the fossil park as the key research base.
However, before the base was fully built, Natsume swooped in and took everything.
The batch of Pokémon just brought out from the laboratory looked a bit uneasy.
They nervously watched the gathering farm Pokémon.
"Serperior~."
Serperior glanced at them.
The group of Pokémon lowered their heads in unison at the sight of Serperior.
The pressure from Serperior was too strong.
They even felt that Serperior was more intimidating than the Dragonite standing nearby.
"Serperior~."
Serperior had little interest in these individuals.
It walked over to Natsume's side.
"Serperior, thank you for your hard work."
Natsume stroked Serperior's cheek and then took out the Terrain Extender and Clear Amulet.
"You should absorb the energy from these two treasures."
Serperior nodded, then wrapped around the two treasures to begin absorbing their special energy.
After using the Terrain Extender, Serperior gained a deeper understanding of venue moves.
Serperior learned a new move: Hidden Power.
After using the Clear Amulet, Serperior will not have its abilities lowered in battle.
Serperior's level increased to 69.
Serperior's individual value for attack increased to 31.
Serperior's potential was upgraded to Champion.
New changes appeared in Serperior's data.
Name: Serperior
Type: Grass
Level: lv69
Ability: Contrary
Individual Values: hp31, Attack31, Defense31, Special Attack31, Special Defense31, Speed31
Moves: Leaf Storm, Frenzy Plant, Protect, Hidden Power
Inherited Moves: Magical Leaf, Grassy Terrain
Potential: Champion
Absorbed Treasures: Big Root, Miracle Seed, Grassy Seed, Terrain Extender, Clear Amulet
"Just one level short; the last Rare Candy can finally be used."
Natsume looked at Serperior's data and took out her last Rare Candy.
"Serperior~."
Serperior took the Rare Candy from Natsume and placed it in its mouth.
Serperior used the Rare Candy, and its level increased to 70.
Serperior learned a new move: Glare.
"Serperior~!"
Suddenly, an incredibly astonishing energy surged from Serperior's eyes.
Serperior's gaze swept across the surrounding Pokémon.
A special aura instantly spread out.
Looking into Serperior's eyes, not just the newly arrived Pokémon, but even Houndoom and Heracross felt an inexplicable sense of dread.
"Houndoom"
Houndoom wanted to move.
But it suddenly found that its body would not cooperate.
Houndoom's legs went weak, and it fell to the ground.
Houndoom was paralyzed.
"Infernape."
Infernape instinctively turned away from the gaze but quickly forced itself to look at Serperior again.
"Infernape!"
Infernape's legs trembled, but it still did not avert its eyes.
This was the fighting spirit of a Fighting type Pokémon!
Natsume watched this scene and couldn't help but say, "What kind of Haoushoku Haki is this?"
Natsume felt that if her Inner Focus weren't strong enough, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand Serperior's gaze.
Natsume said, "Serperior, control it a little."
"Serperior~."
In that moment, Serperior exuded a powerful and sacred aura that felt inviolable.
Very few Pokémon can learn the move Glare.
The ones most skilled in this move are the Arbok line.
They can intimidate opponents through the patterns on their bellies, instilling fear and even causing paralysis.
Serperior, on the other hand, directly releases this move through its eyes.
"Natsume, I think I'm being paralyzed."
Misaki weakly spoke up at that moment.
Not just Misaki; Eevee and the others also flopped down on the ground.
"Audino."
Audino used its Healer ability.
"Serperior~"
Serperior then used Grassy Terrain.
The life energy coming from the ground made everyone feel much better.
"Serperior~."
Serperior expressed its apology.
Having just recently ascended to Champion level, it still couldn't control its power very well.
"Dragonite~"
Dragonite indicated that it started out like this, but would adapt soon enough.
"Sandslash."
Once Sandslash recovered, it waved at the Sandshrew and Drilbur that Natsume had brought back.
Sandslash signaled for them to follow.
"Drilbur."
Drilbur and Sandshrew turned their gaze to Natsume.
They had all come out with Natsume.
Natsume assured them that she would take them to a safe place.
Only then did they decide to follow Natsume to this location.
"Sandslash is the captain of our arable land team here."
At this point, Natsume's mood had improved significantly.
She smiled at the Pokémon and said, "You can follow Sandslash and take a look around our farm."
"While you're at it, check out the environment of our farm."
"Drilbur."
The leader of the Drilbur decided to follow Sandslash upon hearing Natsume's words.
"Sandslash~"
Sandslash headed towards the fields below the mountain.
Sandshrew and Drilbur formed a line and followed closely behind Sandslash.
"Sewaddle~"
Swadloon approached and tapped a standing Victreebel with its leaf.
Victreebel turned around, looking at the Swadloon in confusion.
Swadloon asked, Do you feel hungry?
Victreebel nodded: I'm a bit hungry.
