This is important.
It can help him figure out the difference between the Beedrill's Leader Aura and the Overlord Pokémon's Overlord Aura.
Overlord Pokémon are considered a unique feature of the Alola Region.
Lusamine fiddled with the pen on the table and nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll have Bico send you some information later."
This gesture marked a friendly conclusion to the conversation between both parties.
They chatted briefly again.
"Bico, please see Mr. Natsuka out."
This signaled the end of the conversation.
"Alright." Bico bowed slightly, then smiled and extended his hand to Natsuhiko, "Mr. Natsuka, please."
Natsuhiko nodded.
He turned to leave with Bico.
However.
As they stepped out of the office door.
The walls suddenly flashed with urgent red light.
It's an alarm!
Understanding the significance of the alarm, Bico's expression changed.
He apologized slightly to Natsuhiko, "Sorry, Mr. Natsuka...."
Before he could finish.
Lusamine, with some bodyguards, strode out of the office.
Looking grim.
"Bico, come with me to Ethereal Paradise."
"Yes."
When passing by Natsuhiko, Lusamine hesitated slightly, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "Sorry for the poor hospitality, Mr. Natsuka."
"Hmm?"
After speaking.
Lusamine didn't offer further explanation and swiftly walked out.
Watching their quickly departing backs, Natsuhiko paused for a while.
He faintly sensed that something had happened.
It's very possible.
That ZaoBo had opened the Ultimate Cave, resulting in Nihilego's appearance, who kidnapped Lillie, eventually rescued by Silvally.
This incident caused Lillie to lose her ability to touch Pokémon.
It also led to Lusamine and Lillie heading in two different directions.
To put it more seriously.
This may be one of the starting points for Lusamine's step-by-step blackening.
But after all, this was their affair, and those areas in Ethereal Paradise, he couldn't approach.
Thinking it over.
Natsuhiko still left the House of Ether.
This might not be a bad thing for him.
The appearance of Nihilego further confirmed what he told Lusamine about the Ultimate Beasts.
And it would certainly weigh heavily on Lusamine's mind.
This would undoubtedly greatly help in the subsequent cooperation with the Ethereum Foundation.
...
...
Back in Malieu City.
Everything proceeded orderly after the battle outbreak last time.
Joanna also returned to the base and told Natsuhiko about the encounter and results with Skull Team, without any omissions.
"They really asked for an arm and a leg." Natsuhiko sneered at Skull Team's demanded price.
But when it comes to finding people, currently in the Alola Region, there's truly no one better than Skull Team.
"Agree to their terms, but give them a deadline, five days." Natsuhiko tapped the edge of the table lightly with his fingers.
"Five days is enough time for my competitors to develop."
What was paid to Skull Team must be retrieved from them.
"Alright." Joanna didn't object either.
Working with some other forces is just like that.
Especially when you need help from others.
"These next few days I won't be around, pay more attention, and if it's not something critical, make the best decision yourself." Natsuhiko said to Joanna.
"Are you going to..."
"I've come all the way to Alola, there are some things I should explore." Natsuhiko slowly lifted the corners of his mouth.
