Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 618 The Colorful Ghost Tournament
After bringing Danyu and Erguipeng back to the academy and settling them in, Natsume planned to contact Satoshi.

Judging by the time, the Hoenn region's Rainbow Festival should have started long ago.

However, before Natsume could contact him, he received a call.

The contact person was not Satoshi, but Daigo.

"Oh?"

Natsume was slightly surprised, pressed the call button, and wondered what Daigo wanted to talk to him about.

The video call connected, and what appeared to be a face full of resentment was the viewer's eyes.

"What's wrong? Did someone trick you into going to Carlos to mine?"

Natsume exclaimed in surprise.

How dare you say that?

Daigo gritted his teeth, his lips twitching.

"At least I didn't lie to you, the little diamond really does have an evolved form."

Natsume waved his hand, though he didn't know if Daigo himself had found Diancie's existence.

If so.
Daigo remained silent for a long time without replying, which aroused Natsume's curiosity.

"You really found it?"

"If that's the case, why are you so angry?"

Natsume waved his hand, looking completely innocent.

"Ah."

Daigo didn't reply; he shook his head and said:
"Let's get down to business."

Suddenly, the Hoenn champion's expression turned serious.

"I heard that you're in the Unova region, planning to gather the entire region's research resources to develop Rotom technology?"

Daigo took a deep breath, his white-green eyes fixed on Natsume.

"Yes, everything is ready."

As Natsume spoke, he stepped aside, showing Daigo the academy gate behind him.

Are the security guards at your college that special?

Daigo's lips twitched as he looked at the red figure that occupied most of the screen.

"Fangyuan Specialty Products"

As Natsume spoke, he turned the camera around and focused it back on himself.

"All right."

Daigo let out a long sigh.

He said somewhat dejectedly:

"You plan to gather a large number of scientific research resources to develop Rotom technology?"

Daigo's voice was resolute.

Natsume nodded slightly, without denying it.

Although Dr. Yew has not yet made an official announcement.

However, Natsume did not hide anything, and some people who wanted to know could still find out some information in advance.

Daigo continued:
"To be honest, we at Devon were planning to launch Rotom Technology business and had even set up quite a few laboratories, but you suddenly appeared out of nowhere."

"It's okay," Natsume reassured her.

Daigo's lips twitched.

It's alright, God. They've already invested so much manpower and resources.

However, it is clear that the number of researchers assembled by the German company is no match for that of a single region.

If they and Natsume are competitors, then there's no way to compare them.

Unexpectedly, Natsume's next words gave Daigo new hope.

"The collaboration of research resources from multiple regions to develop Rotom technology is actually just a pilot project."

Natsume spoke up.

"Oh? What about after the pilot program?" Daigo's eyes lit up.

"After the pilot program, it will be rolled out worldwide," Natsume said matter-of-factly.

Daiwu: "."

The departure of a competitor seems to make things worse.

But Daigo's thinking changed quickly, and he tentatively changed his words:
"Worldwide promotion? Including the Hoenn region?"

"Including." Natsume nodded in confirmation.

"That's easy to say."

Dawu smiled knowingly.

If you can't beat them, you'll just have to join them.

With the last weight lifted from his heart, Daigo's mood visibly improved.

Last time, Natsume gave their Devon company a lot of advice on this matter. This prompted Daigo, upon receiving the news, to contact Natsume immediately.

As expected, the other party did not go too far.

"What are you doing?"

Natsume keenly noticed that the video background behind Daigo was not static, but rather presented a dynamic blurring effect.

The figures of people moving about and the flashing energy lights could be vaguely seen, and there seemed to be faint cheers in the air.

"Yes, I am at the Rainbow Ghost Festival."

Daigo's tone was much more relaxed as he spoke, gesturing to the shiny Metagross beneath him.

"So you can experience the atmosphere too."

Before he finished speaking, the camera suddenly zoomed out.

The massive, metallic silver body of the Shiny Metagross carried Steven, its four enormous alloy arms balancing it. Powerful psychic energy surged, propelling it into the air as smoothly and swiftly as a rocket.

The wind howled off-camera, and the scenery on the ground shrank rapidly.

The vision suddenly opens up.

The entire venue for the Rainbow Fairy Tournament is a huge ring-shaped island complex, which is laid out on the azure sea like a dazzling necklace of gemstones.

At the center is the largest main island, upon which stands the magnificent main arena, with a huge holographic screen suspended in mid-air, broadcasting the battle situation in various locations in real time.

Surrounding the main island are dozens of smaller islands, varying in size and shape, like stars around the moon.

Each island is an independent sub-venue.

The islands are connected by energy bridges or high-speed waterways that emit a shimmering glow, resembling an intricate spider web.

At this moment, almost every island was packed with people, and the stands were full.

Different types of energy burst forth everywhere, rising and falling, painting the islands in different colors.

Even through the screen, you could feel the almost overflowing fervor and passion.

Natsume's gaze swept across the grand scene like the most sophisticated radar.

His gaze eventually settled on one of the small, relatively ordinary-looking rocky areas located on the periphery.

There, a vibrant young boy wearing a signature red and white hat was waving his arms and shouting:

"Pikachu, I choose you! Quick Attack!"

It's hard to believe that Ash has already entered the competition.

Natsume touched his chin.

Before the battle, Zapdos was sent to Ash to collect competitive flames.

I don't know how it's progressing.

"You go over there."

Natsume pointed to the small island where Ash was.

Daigo didn't understand, but he did as instructed.

Shiny Metagross carried Steven at a steady speed toward that direction.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't you be in the Carlos region?"

Natsume seemed to remember something and suddenly asked.

Judging from Daigo's previous reaction, the other party must have met the Diancie group.

But why did they turn back halfway?

"Hehe, it's all because of what happened last time."

Daigo's lips twitched.

Last time, Groudon and Kyogre went on a rampage in the Hoenn region, but I wasn't there.
He has no idea how many cases he has been impeached.

If he doesn't come back to make his presence known at this Hoenn event, he'll definitely be criticized by the Hoenn residents.

“You could actually do what Adek did and consider choosing an heir.”

Natsume saw through Daigo's thoughts and made a suggestion.

Daigo paused, his eyes glazing over, as if deep in thought.

"I think Mikeley is pretty good."

Natsume recommended it.

"The Grand Contest, the one from the Mikkuri Cup?"

Daigo frowned slightly.

But he nodded:

"Since it was you who recommended it, I'll go and make contact with them when the time comes."

Seeing this, Natsume nodded inwardly.

Daigo should also return to the family business.

For example, taking the lead in relocating his company's laboratory to his college.
