Yes.
This way is very convenient.
For example, Bewear, after being captured by Natsuhiko, quickly becomes a combat power.
But to put it bluntly.
In battle.
How much combat power Bewear can exert, does it really have much to do with whether Natsuhiko commands it or not?
Ah-hem.
The main purpose of capturing these three Water-type Pokémon is to explore this lake.
But it also made Natsuhiko clear about one thing.
The direction for capturing Pokémon in the future.
The choice of Water-type Pokémon must be put on the agenda.
Otherwise, if such a situation arises again, having to "work with local resources" is both time-consuming and consumes more time.
The main Pokémon that Natsuhiko has truly settled on are Beedrill, Alakazam, Togekiss, Aegislash, Monferno, and Latios.
Exactly six Pokémon.
Little Eevee is still in his consideration stage.
However, training one or two now is the same, so he might as well include Little Eevee.
That makes seven true elite Pokémon.
The others, like Snorlax, Bewear, and Noivern, mostly serve as temporary Pokémon, to fill the gap in his Pokémon roster as a Hunter.
For these Pokémon's role allocation, Natsuhiko is still very clear.
Even though Snorlax and Bewear are currently very strong.
But Natsuhiko believes that soon Togekiss and the others will catch up.
It's just that due to the sensitivity of his current status, he can't bring them into the open.
"Almost there."
Natsuhiko looked up at the sky.
Although it was grey and shrouded in mist everywhere, the dimming was noticeable.
Wasted quite a bit of time... Natsuhiko muttered to himself.
"Are you going underwater?" Nancy saw Natsuhiko finish and finally ran up again.
"Yeah."
Put all three Water-type Pokémon back in the water.
They hovered silently on the surface, waiting for Natsuhiko's instruction.
To them, Natsuhiko promised that when he leaves this island, they are free to leave if they want, which is why the capture process was so fast.
Of course, part of it was also because Snorlax and Bewear displayed enough "friendliness."
"I also..."
Nancy was about to excitedly say she would join, but her phone rang.
It was a satellite phone ringing.
As soon as it was connected, the voice on the other end made Natsuhiko focus.
It was Giovanni!
"Nancy."
Giovanni's voice was deep, carrying an undeniable seriousness.
Nancy stuck out her tongue, "Boss Sakaki."
So it's "Boss Sakaki" here?
Just before, she was calling him "Uncle Sakaki" every time.
Natsuhiko squinted his eyes.
"Did you run off again?"
"Hehe..."
"Return quickly, without you, they are not safe."
"Okay, okay."
During their conversation, Nancy didn't avoid Natsuhiko, so he overheard some of it.
Nancy's excursion this time had a mission attached to it.
As for the specific content of the mission, Natsuhiko didn't catch it.
But he guessed it was related to this island.
As the call was about to end.
Nancy said, "By the way, Boss Sakaki, I met someone very interesting, talks like you with quite a logic, I'll bring him to meet you next time?"
Upon hearing this, Natsuhiko didn't feel quite right.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.
"Really? If you recognize him, then we should meet when there's a chance."
"Mm-hmm."
"Remember to complete the mission."
With this last sentence, the call was hung up.
Nancy smirked at Natsuhiko and waved him goodbye, "Then I won't accompany you down."
"Mm..."
"See you next time."
After speaking, Nancy disappeared into thin air before Natsuhiko's eyes with Espeon.
"Giovanni..." Natsuhiko rubbed his forehead.
Honestly speaking.
In his heart, Natsuhiko actually felt a bit conflicted.
He didn't want to meet such a terrifying Rocket Team Leader, yet he was somewhat curious about what kind of person Boss Sakaki, whom so many people wholeheartedly follow, was.
He shook his head.
Gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"Forget it, better not to meet."
With his small frame, entering the Rocket Team headquarters means he truly wouldn't have any say.
Even with Dragapult's protection, it would be the same.
However, Nancy's departure did relieve some of the constraints for him.
Summon Alakazam.
"Try again, Alakazam."
"Alakazam."
Alakazam nodded, moved the spoon, forming a Superpower Space.
...
...
In the distant Kanto Region.
In the underground of Changpan Dojo in Changpan City.
The base of Rocket Team.
After hanging up the phone, Giovanni shook his head with a wry smile.
"Boss Sakaki, is it really okay to leave it to Lady Nancy?"
Before Giovanni, standing respectfully were three people in white lab coats, dressed as researchers.
The one questioning was Dr. Nanbo, who stood on the far left.
The other two were Dr. Fuji and Uncle Xia.
These are high-end talents within Rocket Team, with special statuses, among whom Uncle Xia is additionally the Gym Leader of the Red Lotus Dojo in the Kanto Region.
And they.
Are the main three researchers working on the Dream Gene for Rocket Team.
Dr. Nanbo focuses on Pokémon control as his research direction.
Dr. Fuji's research direction is purely Pokémon genes.
Uncle Xia is responsible for Pokémon fossils.
Hearing Dr. Nanbo's doubt, Giovanni assured, "As long as that thing is indeed there, leaving it to Nancy is fine."
One of Giovanni's key traits is his trust in the abilities of his subordinates.
Of course, this trust is based on the condition that they have earned Giovanni's acknowledgment.
