This is a trait that doesn't have much use in battles, but is very handy outside of battles.
If Natsuhiko can successfully tame this group of Linoone, he can send them out.
Pokémon with the "Pickup" trait will have a certain sensitivity to scattered items, Tree Fruit, and such.
Natsuhiko's requirements aren't high; if they can pick up some good Tree Fruits or materials that can be used as Healing Potions, that's enough.
Just like when he used to play games, during the poorest early stages, he liked to roam around with five Zigzagoon with the "Pickup" trait.
In Rayquaza's Alternate Space, there are no traces of human activity, so this trait should have a relatively significant effect.
In total, he obtained eleven Linoone with the "Pickup" trait, and he ignored the rest.
"Let's rest a bit and stroll around this prairie," Natsuhiko said.
It was both to see if there were any Crystal Stones and to find a "medic."
...
...
Sinnoh Region.
Zhuqing City.
The Hoshino Family residence.
Hoshino Ryuzi's son is the Gym Leader of the Zhuqing City Dojo, and the Hoshino Race has considerable power in Zhuqing City.
As one of the current Sinnoh Alliance Elite Four, Hoshino Ryuzi usually likes to stay here, planting flowers and watering trees, living a quiet life.
But on this day.
An unexpected guest arrived at the Hoshino Family residence.
Sitting in the garden, Hoshino Ryuzi, with a slightly furrowed brow, suddenly looked up toward the corner of the wall while reading a report.
His expression changed slightly but quickly returned to normal.
He said with a smile, "Ghost-type Elite Four Agatha, my Hoshino Family does have a front door."
"Heh heh—"
The response he received was from a Gengar who peeked from the shadow in the corner.
Making faces at Hoshino Ryuzi, sitting on the chair.
With a playful and mischievous manner, it seemed to hardly take Hoshino Ryuzi seriously.
"Roar!"
However, while Gengar was making faces, a colossal creature slowly emerged from an artificial desert ecological environment next to the residence.
Covered in a dark green hard shell all over its body, with a fierce appearance and spikes on its back, a triangular head, and eyes full of battle intent, it looked angrily at the Gengar taunting in the corner.
This was the ace Pokémon of Elite Four Hoshino Ryuzi and undoubtedly the core of all his current Pokémon.
Sandfall Monarch, Tyranitar!
Seeing the appearance of Tyranitar, the playful expression on Gengar's face slowly faded away.
Its eyes glinted with a dangerous light.
Even though the opponent was a fully evolved Quasi-God Pokémon, Gengar was not afraid at all.
As the two Pokémon stood off.
Hoshino Ryuzi, with a grave face, slowly stood up from the chair, his aged but strong voice saying:
"Agatha, what do you mean by this?"
Outside the tall wall.
An old lady, leaning on a cane, wearing an apron, hunched over.
Slowly lifted her head.
Although the two did not meet completely, Agatha also knew that Hoshino Ryuzi was definitely watching her at this moment.
A sinister smile appeared slowly on her face full of wrinkles, making the wrinkles even more pronounced.
Agatha didn't speak.
But the Gengar inside the wall moved.
"Heh heh!"
Only to see.
Gengar's already dark body seemed to become even shinier, as if the surrounding light was absorbed.
And its Fourth Dimension Space opened.
Shadows one after another continuously emerged from its body, from its Fourth Dimension Space.
Haunter, Gastly, Misdreavus, Mismagius, Banette, Dusclops...
Various Ghost-type Pokémon appeared one after another.
The sheer number, dense and numerous, made Hoshino Ryuzi's scalp tingle.
The Tyranitar beside him didn't show fear, but indeed felt at a loss when facing such a formation.
Agatha's trademark.
The Ghost Legion!
Hundreds of Ghost-type Pokémon linked together.
Like a massive black shadow curtain, completely enveloping the backyard where Hoshino Ryuzi was.
Crossing from day to night, it was just an instant.
From the outside, one could only see a large shadow enveloping the backyard of the Hoshino Family residence.
Unfortunately.
Hoshino Ryuzi liked tranquility, so there were hardly any people nearby, nor did anyone witness what was happening here.
And within the Ghost Legion.
Hoshino Ryuzi now had two Pokeballs in his hand.
His palm, sweating slightly, gripped the two Pokeballs tightly.
He did not immediately release them.
Took a deep breath, his tone softened a lot.
"Ghost-type Elite Four Agatha, as one of Kanto Region's Elite Four, do you know what it means to attack me, an Elite Four of Sinnoh?"
Although his tone softened, the threat in his words became more apparent.
"Heh—"
What responded to him was a contemptuous and scornful low chuckle.
Agatha's voice acted like a command.
The entire Ghost Legion moved.
Hoshino Ryuzi's expression suddenly changed, hesitating no longer, he swiftly threw the Pokeballs in his hand.
Boom boom boom—
A series of dull sounds like firecrackers under water resounded.
From the outside, through the gaps of the densely packed Ghost Legion, sand and gravel could be faintly seen flying out.
But these did not have much effect on the Ghost-type Pokémon.
The muffled sound lasted for about half an hour.
"Heh heh!"
With Gengar's call, the Leader Legion quickly converged, and night turned back into day.
