He shrugged and continued: "No matter what, I am a Chief Inspector of the International Criminal Police of the Alliance, a Dojo Leader, and a Researcher, still enough to prevent anyone from acting openly."
If someone wants to do something secretly, Natsuhiko is even less afraid.
His teacher Agatha, Lira from the "UB Countermeasures Department," and Jade Liya and Shirane, who owe him favors, are not to be trifled with.
Not to mention.
In the Underworld, Natsuhiko also has such a strong backer like Giovanni.
He cannot ride the Black Dragon Zekrom to proactively seek trouble, or else the Alliance will definitely not stand by.
But this does not mean that when others come looking for trouble, Natsuhiko cannot fight back.
Even in the Alola Region, he has good relations with several Kings of Islands.
Not scared.
Moreover...
"I never said I would always hide this secret, and since I let Hilona display it, it means I will reveal this method."
"Are you planning to disclose it?"
Everyone was surprised at this.
Natsuhiko replied calmly: "It's not a big secret, disclosing it would benefit the entire Pokemon Realm. As a Researcher, I have long had this awareness."
Upon hearing this.
Everyone had different expressions.
Lance laughed heartily and patted Natsuhiko's shoulder, Flint rubbed his ring thoughtfully, and Kona, who already admired Natsuhiko, admired him even more now.
Hilona also felt admiration for Natsuhiko's actions.
If everyone in the Pokemon Realm could be as generous as Natsuhiko, for example, if families and forces holding unique methods disclosed their secrets, the Pokemon Realm could definitely reach new heights.
Don't even mention these big and small forces; even the Alliance has countless secrets.
But Natsuhiko hadn't finished speaking.
He silently added a sentence in his heart.
"As long as the Alliance can be 'sensible enough.'"
Hilona's "display" can actually be seen as Natsuhiko throwing a question to the Alliance.
I want to be a Doctor.
Who approves, who opposes?
Facts have proven.
The Alliance truly is quite "sensible."
After all.
Natsuhiko has already established considerable interpersonal relationships in the research field and among various Alliance figures.
Top Doctors like Professor Oak, Dr. Sakuragi, Dr. Yamanashi, Dr. Cypress, and Professor Elm, among others.
Elite like Agatha, Elite Trainer Yuanzhi, Ice-type Expert Kikuno, Adick Champion, even the International Criminal Police Department, Investigation Department, Medical Department, Battlefront Territory, including the Dragon Taming Race, Devon Company, Ethereum Foundation, all have some extent of influence.
The things Natsuhiko has done over the years, the experiences he's had, the people he's met and known, the friendly organizations, have all become his aid in pursuing a Doctorate degree.
Unknowingly.
Even Natsuhiko himself hadn't realized that he slowly gained some influence in the Alliance from being just an ordinary civilian.
Though such influence is still not large.
But it is foreseeable that this influence will only continue to grow.
And these are the interpersonal relationships Natsuhiko has accumulated.
Moreover, as Lance and others gradually become the upper echelons of the Alliance, his network will become increasingly formidable.
Of course, that's for later.
Now.
Under the pressure of widespread public opinion.
Guided by leading figures in the research field like Professor Oak, Dr. Yamanashi, and Dr. Sakuragi.
Whether Natsuhiko can achieve a Doctorate by mastering the Fairy Type has officially become an important topic discussed by the Alliance.
Just as it was discussed in the past whether Dr. Sakuragi could become a Doctor.
And as for Natsuhiko and others?
After the commotion in the venue quieted down, the match continued.
Kona faced off against the sole remaining person in the Alola Region, Royal Masked Man Dr. Kukui.
Natsuhiko reminded Kona to be careful of the Royal Masked Man's Red Flame Roaring Tiger, his ace Pokémon, and the one posing the greatest threat to Kona.
Unfortunately.
Even with Natsuhiko's warning.
Kona cautiously dealt with the Red Flame Roaring Tiger but overlooked the Royal Masked Man's Lycanroc.
Ultimately losing to the Royal Masked Man by the margin of one Pokémon.
Allowing the Alola Region to secure one person into the final four.
Thus, avoiding too embarrassing a defeat.
Following the match between Kona and the Royal Masked Man.
Flint and Natsuhiko, who were the grand finale, received tremendous attention.
A direct confrontation between outstanding representatives of young generations from Hoenn and Sinnoh.
A competition between the Young Master of Devon Company and the new Genius Researcher.
Their identities, their influence.
Destined this match to be the most watched one today.
And Natsuhiko.
Will also face Flint for the first time in a direct match.
Using a 6v6 full team battle mode.
As to who will win.
Watching Lance, Kona, and Hilona, no one dared to make a rash conclusion.
Both individuals are very strong.
On-the-spot performance, tactical arrangements, will likely be the key to deciding the match's outcome.
