Just as they were conversing.
The host, at some unknown moment, brought a cameraman to the audience and stood in front of Professor Oak.
The host had no choice, he was troubled inside, but he couldn't express it.
All the major websites were nearly crashing, and if he couldn't give the audience some answers, he'd be out of a job the next day.
So now, he had to turn to Professor Oak for help.
"Professor Oak, sorry to interrupt you and waste a bit of your time. We hope you can answer us about what Pokémon Natsuhiko's is?" The host wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked respectfully.
"Hehe——" Professor Oak chuckled.
"I don't know."
Host: "..."
"I don't know exactly what Pokémon it is, but it looks like an evolved form of a Togetic. Wild Togepi are rare, and the evolution of Togepi into Togetic is still uncertain, seemingly related to 'affinity.'
Nobody has researched whether Togetic can evolve again."
Professor Oak first gave a brief explanation of the Togepi evolution requirements to everyone.
Then continued: "Natsuhiko's Togetic has the trait 'Celestial Grace,' and this new Pokémon probably inherited that trait, also having 'Celestial Grace.'
With this explanation, many people gradually understood.
It turned out to be the 'Celestial Grace' trait, which, combined with 'Air Slash,' indeed brought a qualitative change.
"And about Natsuhiko's Pokémon performing 'Air Slash' continuously ten times..." the host asked again.
"Luck." Professor Oak answered simply, "Luck that's hard to replicate."
Upon hearing this, the host sighed with relief and quickly cast a grateful look at Professor Oak.
He then promptly shared this 'authoritative' information with the vast audience.
...
...
In the Elite Four's suite.
Agatha listened to Professor Oak talking endlessly, and couldn't help but roll her eyes in disdain.
Watching Natsuhiko and Togekiss from the window, she slowly revealed a smile.
So this was Natsuhiko's hidden trump card?
Indeed impressive.
The expressions of the Elite Four in the suite varied.
Especially Kikuno and Hoshino Ryuzi, the two Sinnoh Region Elite Four members.
...
...
"Whew——"
Natsuhiko let out a slow breath.
Ten-Blade Slash?
He wouldn't even dare to think about it.
In games, he never managed more than three 'Air Slashes,' and now the record soared to ten here.
Honestly, he himself hadn't expected it.
He could only say, Teacher Poke is amazing!
Teacher Poke is magnificent!
Natsuhiko also heard the interview content with Professor Oak, and he sighed with relief internally.
Luckily, this 'authority' confirmed the accidental nature of this occurrence, otherwise....
He looked across.
Karin, after listening to Professor Oak's explanation, slowly regained her senses.
Luck?
Coincidence?
But luck is a part of strength too.
So how should she deal with this new Pokémon?
Forfeit?
That's naturally impossible, she's representing not just herself but the Kalos Alliance!
So...
Karin showed a grave expression and seriously took the Pokeball from her waist.
Only it.
Maybe there's still a chance.
After throwing it out.
Seeing this Pokémon, Natsuhiko was momentarily stunned, his expression odd, muttering to himself, "Isn't this walking right into the line of fire? A Dragon Type, Goodra?"
