Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

night.

The moonlight is clear and cool like flowing water, and the evening breeze rustles like bamboo flutes.

Standing on the balcony, Xia Yan leaned against the railing, gazing at the full moon hanging in the night sky.

With one hand stroking the soft fur of Sylveon, who was perched on the railing, and the other holding a communicator.

"I received it. Some of the prop masters are quite capable; I went to great lengths to recruit them. I've also sent you the supplies you requested."

On the phone.

Joanna's voice was full of competence.

She has become the head of the Hunter Guild in the Unova region. Although she has not yet reached the highest position, she is already not much inferior to the other highest-ranking members.

Xia Yan nodded slightly.

With the development of Bright's teleportation device, not only has the transport of spirits become more convenient, but the transport of all resources has also become much easier.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to report to you," Joanna said.

"Tell me about it."

Xia Yan had a vague premonition of what was going to happen.

“There is an unknown force that seems quite powerful. They asked me to collaborate with you on a project, but they haven’t provided any details, and I’m not even sure if this force actually exists,” Joanna said truthfully.

Xia Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I understand. Then let's continue to probe their background."

Although I guessed who it was.

But he wouldn't be so thoughtless as to agree so readily.

"it is good."

Joanna had no idea what Xia Yan was thinking; she just felt that the arrangement was fine.

Their hunter guild is much more stable now.

Although Xia Yan has not yet officially become the undisputed leader of the Hunter Guild.

But with Tom Ruch's death, the internal reshuffling is over.

now.

The Johto region, Hoenn region, Unova region, and Alola region are almost all under Natsuhiko's control.

The remaining leaders of the Kanto, Sinnoh, and Kalos regions also had good relationships with Xia Yan.

and so.

Partnering with him is tantamount to partnering with the entire Hunter Guild.

Of course, we need to thoroughly investigate the other party.

End communication.

Xia Yan put away the communicator and continued to gaze at the night sky.

What are you thinking about?

The balcony next door suddenly opened.

Cynthia appeared on the other side of the balcony.

Xia Yan raised the corners of his mouth.

"No, it's just that the moon looks so round and close to me today."

Upon hearing this, Cynthia also looked up at the night sky.

Nod in agreement.

"That's true."

I gazed at the bright moon hanging in the night sky.

Cynthia couldn't help but show a look of ecstasy.

She simply murmured, "Is today the fifteenth of the lunar month?"

"Ok?"

Xia Yan was taken aback.

"Bu-i~~"

Sylveon, who was perched on the railing, stretched lazily.

The moonlight shone on it, making its fur appear especially lustrous, and it even seemed to reflect the moonlight faintly.

Also absorbing the moonlight was Cosmog, nestled in Xia Yan's arms, its eyes peeking out.

"Gu-gu-gu-gu-!!"

It happened suddenly.

Cosmogu seemed to sense something and flew out of Xia Yan's arms.

"Chirp chirp~~"

at the same time.

As golden particles, like scattered dust, fell, the island's guardian deity appeared.

“Tapu Koko?” Xia Yan was somewhat surprised.

Tapu Koko merely glanced at Xia Yan, his gaze lingering on Cosmog for a moment before turning to the sky.

And there.

Within the unusually round and enormous moon, a silhouette slowly emerged.

Its appearance made Cosmog even more excited, but it made Tapu Koko's eyes even more serious.

"Lunala?!"

Xia Yan made a sound in surprise.

Chapter Seventy: The Radiance of Awakening

The ultimate metropolis.

Inviting the Moon Department.

The heads of the Invitation Moon Department sat around the conference table, while the door was slowly pushed open.

A person dressed in a long black robe and wearing a bronze mask resembling ancient knight's armor, accompanied by a creature resembling a clay doll or an alien, slowly walked in.

As he entered, the eyes of the people in charge of the Invitation Moon Department all fell on him.

Upon seeing this person, the members of the Invitation Moon Clan displayed a variety of expressions: some were hostile, some were wary, some welcomed, some admired, and some harbored strong ambitions.

The man's golden eyes beneath the mask were calm, and one could even see a faint smile in them.

Without saying a word, he walked to the conference table of the Invitation Moon Department and placed a palm-sized device, shimmering with black and gold light, on the table.

Then he said softly, "The technology of the ultimate metropolis is nothing special."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the people in charge of the Invitation Moon Department turned somewhat ugly.

Then he slowly said, "I've finished making the things, and I hope you'll find them useful."

Done.

Ignoring the expressions on the faces of the people from the Invitation Moon Clan, he turned and left.

...

Eat the sun.

"The Moon Invitation Division is too conservative. Necrozma's power has been weakened again and again. It is unknown whether it can suppress Necrozma if it continues, but the aura emitted by the Ultimate Metropolis Tower will definitely be much weaker than before."

"I suggest we stick to the original plan and try to contact the Pokémon League in the Pokémon world to try and start a cooperation. At the very least, we should leave the humans of Metropolis with a chance to survive."

"Theonella has already begun preliminary cooperation with an organization called the Aether Foundation. According to him, the Aether Foundation is researching something called the 'Ultra Ball,' and it has already shown initial success. This is a tool that can capture Ultra Beasts like Pokémon."

"What we've always lacked hasn't been the tools to capture Ultra Beasts. What we've lacked are the resources to raise them and the materials to nurture them..."

bang-

Suddenly.

The gate of the Sun Devouring Clan was pushed open.

The reaction of the people in charge of the Sun Devouring Tribe to the black-robed man walking in through the door was much more intense than that of the Moon Inviting Tribe.

"What are you doing here?!"

"We don't need you here!"

"..."

The man in black robes, however, paid no attention and walked towards the conference table, waving his hand.

A similar, palm-sized instrument was placed on the table.

The words rang out, filled with laughter.

"I hope you like the gifts I'm giving you."

After saying this, he turned and left the Sun Devourer's meeting room.

...

The black-robed figures who had visited the Moon Invitation Division and the Sun Devourer Division, carried by the Great Universe Monster, slowly walked out of the command center of the Ultimate Metropolis.

Looking at the dazzling Metropolis Tower not far away, his confident eyes curved slightly.

"The real show is about to begin. How far will technology go? I'm really looking forward to it..."

...
