"Well, I heard you're recruiting student council members!"
"That's an elite club."
"Oh, the Elite Club." Langley tilted her head, thinking that it meant something similar.
But she couldn't say much, otherwise it would seem like she was the one doing all the work, so she nudged Alice.
The latter curled his lip and retorted, "So, we want to join!"
"Yes, join! For example, let us participate in league tournaments in other regions!"
Danyu followed closely behind.
Although the academy offers many practical courses, no trainer is without aspirations to challenge the League Tournament.
"No, that won't work." Natsume shook his head.
The remaining quotas for the three regions have all been allocated.
"ah...
'
The two of them immediately frowned.
"Aren't there major tournaments in Kanto, Johto, and the Hoenn region next year?"
After a pause, Lan Ge Lei suddenly spoke.
"Kanto, Chengdu..." Natsume shook his head slightly. That place had the most stable base of support, so there was no need to worry about it.
When the time comes, if Giovanni and Professor Oak raise their arms and call out, most research institutes and powerful trainers will likely come running.
As for the Hoenn region... that's even more unnecessary.
Two weeks ago, Daigo obtained the Crystal Orb from here and returned to the Hoenn region.
The other party now rides his crystallized Metagross around the Hoenn region every few days, and you can see it in the Hoenn Morning News from time to time.
The champion highly recommends it, and the results are quite good.
The three were not giving up. After much pleading and cajoling, Natsume decided to let them follow in the footsteps of Yurika, Serena, and Shinji to conquer the Kalos, Alola, and Galar regions.
Anyway, they haven't been gone for very long.
As the academy's affairs gradually returned to normal, the members of the Sunshine Academy Elite Club embarked on journeys to different regions.
Natsume had a rare period of relatively free time to handle some routine documents and keep an eye on external developments.
That afternoon, he was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, drinking a refreshing tea while flipping through the latest Sinnoh Morning News.
The newspaper's front page headline prominently featured a report on the upcoming Sinnoh League tournament, along with a rather eye-catching business news item—
[Sinnoh philanthropist Mr. Red Sun has once again generously donated a huge sum of money to the Sinnoh League Conference, aiming to improve the conference's infrastructure and player welfare!]
The accompanying picture shows a middle-aged man with blue hair, wearing a sharp suit, with a serious face and deep eyes.
It was the blazing sun.
"Red Sun?" Natsume paused slightly, his brows furrowing unconsciously as he held the teacup.
"Isn't this guy the leader of Team Galactic? When did he become a philanthropist obsessed with public welfare?"
A strong sense of disharmony welled up inside me.
He put down his teacup, immediately turned on his computer, and used his privileges to begin an in-depth investigation into Chiri's recent public activities and fund flows.
What Natsume found even more puzzling was the result of his investigation.
Red Sun's "charity" extends far beyond the Sinnoh region.
Over the past year, his foundation has made staggering donations to emerging universities and cutting-edge research institutions in Chengdu, Fangyuan, Unova, and even Alora.
These donations often share a common characteristic:
After receiving donations, these institutions will more or less carry out some basic or cutting-edge research projects related to "reversed world energy properties", "stability of heterogeneous space structures", and "research on spacetime paradoxes".
The Red Sun Foundation, under the guise of "monitoring project progress," would periodically obtain non-core information.
Publicly available research reports.
In fact, Natsume knew more about Akari than he did about himself before he transmigrated.
The reason is simple: Red Sun is the discoverer of Rotom.
Yes, he was the discoverer of Rotom.
Although the game mentions that Akari was very withdrawn and even autistic as a child, his only interest was tinkering with machines.
The opponent's first Pokémon seemed to be Rotom, which had been attracted by him.
But none of that matters.
As the pioneer of Rotom research, Natsume had nothing noteworthy to say beyond thanking the other party for naming Rotom.
"Reverse World, Giratina..." Natsume tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, his mind drifting back to the incomplete records he had seen in the abandoned factory laboratory.
Chi Ri's purpose has always seemed very clear.
He is using his vast funds to cleverly guide and promote the entire academic community of the Pokémon world to research the mysteries of the Reverse World for him.
This kind of highly targeted research funding, hidden beneath the guise of public welfare and charity, has ulterior motives that are definitely not trivial.
Just as Natsume was deep in thought, trying to connect the possible links between the Red Sun, the Reverse World, and Team Rainbow Rocket, his personal communicator rang urgently.
It is bamboo orchid.
"Natsume!" Ran's voice carried a hint of urgency and excitement: "Based on some ancient legends and recent unusual energy fluctuations, I've pinpointed an area where Uxie, Amritod, and Azelf might be active recently—near an ancient altar on Mount Tenguan!"
Mt. Crown. It is the center of the Sinnoh region, a place said to have a mysterious connection with the Time Gods and even the Creator God.
"I'll be right there!" Natsume replied without hesitation.
With the discovery of clues about the Three Sacred Mushrooms, Natsume immediately put the matter of the Crimson Sun out of his mind.
He set off immediately, riding the Great Dragon to Mount Tenguan at top speed.
After meeting up with Zhu Lan at the foot of Tianguan Mountain, the two exchanged a few brief pleasantries.
"You don't look well. Haven't you been getting enough rest lately?"
Seeing Natsume's slightly tired expression, Takeran asked with concern.
"It's alright, it was just handling some college affairs."
Natsume waved his hand, steer the conversation back on track, "Where exactly are the clues about the Three Sacred Mushrooms?"
"Based on the energy fluctuations, it's near that ancient altar halfway up the mountain," Zhu Lan pointed to the misty mountainside. "We need to hurry."
The two said no more and hurried along the steep mountain path.
The mountain road was rugged, the fog was getting thicker, and an unusual sense of oppression permeated the air.
However, just as they approached a sacrificial site halfway up the mountain, surrounded by ancient stone pillars, a strange thing happened!
"i—like, "like, "i—like" Several dark purple energy beams shot out from the surrounding mist without warning, aiming directly at Natsume, at an astonishing speed!
"Watch out!" Cynthia reacted quickly, immediately releasing Garchomp to block Natsume's path.
"roar!"
Garchomp roared and used several Brick Breakers to forcefully deflect the beams of light, but it was also shaken back a few steps by the impact.
Several uninvited guests slowly emerged from the mist.
