“So that’s how it is. Thank you, Natsume gym leader.”
After hearing Natsume’s explanation, the tourists looked enlightened.
Natsume smiled slightly and then walked toward the battle arena.
“Heracross~”
Heracross raised its arm to Natsume.
Natsume smiled at Heracross and said, “I saw it; that was an exciting battle.”

Glub, glub~
The swirling waters made it hard for Watanabe to see his surroundings.
The ocean water quickly enveloped him.
He was unable to breathe.
The pressure of the sea was overwhelming and unresistable!
The impact of the waves felt like large hands gripping Watanabe tightly, lifting him upward, then violently pushing him down to the seabed.
“Floatzel!”
Watanabe struggled desperately, trying to call for his Floatzel, but he couldn’t make a so...

Jangmo-o’s ability is Overcoat.
This ability allows Jangmo-o to be unaffected by weather-related moves like Sandstorm and Hail.
It is also immune to all powder moves.
Both Sleep Powder and Spore fall into the category of powder attacks.
“Jangmo-o!”
Jangmo-o ignored the numerous Sleep Powder and Effect Spore drifting toward it and charged straight at a Morelull.

Arcanine looked at Natsume.
It was ready to take action.

Flabébé brought a small red flower and presented it to Misaki.

“Thank you, Flabébé.”
Misaki happily gathered her hair so Flabébé could tuck the flower into it.
The farm's garden was always filled with life.
Various types of flowers bloomed vibrantly under the care of the Flabébé.
These flowers added a dreamlike and romantic touch to the place.

A loud bang resonated in the farm's battle dojo.

Annihilape waved at Infernape.
Infernape pushed off the ground, and its body raced toward Annihilape.
Flames burned around Infernape.
Fire Punch!
Flames engulfed Infernape's Iron Fists.
The flames scattered in all directions with Infernape's swing.

Natsume hadn’t expected Takehana to directly invite him to battle.
He didn’t plan to refuse either.
“I also want to know just how big the gap is between me and a Champion.”
“Wait a minute.”
Ohtaka exclaimed in confusion, “Are you two really going to fight here?”
Takehana smiled at Ohtaka. “Is there a problem?”

As Natsume was looking at the task notification, his phone suddenly vibrated with an incoming call.
It was Rotom calling.

The slowly rising steam had unknowingly enveloped the entire space.
Natsume brushed his hair back, resting his hands on the edge of the bathtub, his neck slightly arched back as he gazed at the ceiling where water droplets were steadily dripping down.

A water droplet fell.
Natsume extended his finger, and all the falling droplets were instantly suspended in mid-air.

Natsume stood on the riverbank and said to the Wishiwashi Ruler in the water, “I’ll take you to a new place that will significantly improve your quality of life.”
As he spoke, Natsume poured all the Plump Beans from his bag onto the shore.

From now on, Gardevoir would keep a close watch on it.
Mewtwo looked at Natsume with curiosity and asked, "Is the purpose of searching for Wishiwashi for Battle?"

On top of this, with Serperior having learned Glare and possessing a treasure like the King's Rock, it becomes even more potent.
