Chapter 451: Summoning Dragons with a Whistle
"Didi!"
"You have a new private message. Click to view!"
Three days later, just as Naoki was steaming grass dumplings for his goat mount at home, his Rotom Phone suddenly received a notification.
Naoki opened the Pokemon Forum to check, and then he saw a series of private messages sent by netizens.
After a quick glance, there were netizens who wanted to chat with him about the Groudon and Kyogre legend, some asking about his subsequent journey, and even some League Investigators seeking his advice on further intelligence.
Naoki even spotted threatening texts seemingly sent by members of Team Aqua and Team Magma.
A netizen named [FireFireFire] said: "You little brat, I advise you to be wise and quickly delete this post, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
Naoki replied with a question mark.
The other party quickly sent another message.
[FireFireFire: If you have the guts, send me your address. You're asking for a beating. I'll show you the consequences of interfering with our plans!]
This time, Naoki decided to employ the 'Two Tigers Competing for Food' strategy.
Pretending to be a member of Team Rocket, he replied in Sakaki's tone:
["Hmph, you overestimate yourself. This world ultimately belongs to Team Rocket. Team Magma and Team Aqua are nothing but lackeys. This time, we'll use the Hoenn League's hand to eradicate the likes of you!]
Then, the other party started spewing insults.
The gist of it was that Team Rocket wasn't even worthy of carrying Team Magma's shoes, and that Team Magma was working for the betterment of the world.
They also scoffed at Team Rocket, claiming they had never heard of such a puny organization.
Naoki: "..."
Seeing this, he directly replied:
[Team Rocket has existed for decades, while Team Magma has only emerged in recent years. How dare a fledgling force challenge Team Rocket? If you have the guts, come to Jade Grand Street. I assure you, you won't like what's coming your way!]
Then, he blocked the user, leaving them unable to reply or comment, only able to stew in their frustration.
Jade Grand Street was a famous street in Jade City, located in the Kanto region, the very base of operations for Team Rocket.
If a lackey from Team Magma dared to go there and provoke them, the scene would undoubtedly be entertaining.
As he scrolled down further, Naoki suddenly spotted a familiar name.
[Daigo]
Hmm? Daigo? Is it the Daigo he knows? Intrigued, Naoki clicked on the person's profile page and saw the League's certification mark.
This indicated that the person was none other than the current Champion of the Hoenn League, Daigo Tsuwabuki.
[Hello, I am the current Champion of the Hoenn region, Daigo Tsuwabuki. Regarding your post, I'd like to discuss it with you. May we meet in person?]
Daigo wanted to meet him? Naoki was slightly taken aback but quickly recovered.
Without a doubt, Daigo wanted to talk about Team Magma and Team Aqua.
After a moment's thought, Naoki replied: [Hello, I'm sorry, but I'm not available to meet in person right now. If there's something you'd like to know, we can chat online!]
Soon enough, Daigo sent a message.
He didn't insist on meeting in person anymore but asked: [Are you with the International Police?]
International Police? Naoki's mind immediately went to the handsome man.
But unfortunately, he wasn't.
[Stranger1: No, I'm just an ordinary person.]
At the same time, in the Hoenn region, Green Ridge City...
Daigo stared at the reply on the screen, deep in thought.
Is he reluctant to reveal his identity? Or is he afraid of retaliation from Team Magma and Team Aqua?
He clicked on the other party's profile and found that it was a newly registered account, named Stranger1, indicating that the person was deliberately concealing their identity.
Since that was the case, Daigo decided not to pry further.
With that in mind, he changed the subject and began asking about the main issue.
[Daigo: Are all the contents of that post your personal speculation?]
[Stranger1: Yes, it's my speculation based on the current situation in the Hoenn region. Whether you believe it or not is up to you.]
[Daigo: To be honest, your speculation is remarkably accurate. There have been signs of Team Magma and Team Aqua activity all over Hoenn, including traces of suspicious individuals at the Kai nautical workshop and the Weather Institute.]
[Daigo: Up until this year, Team Magma and Team Aqua were perceived by the public as the Nature Preservation Society and the Ocean Preservation Society, respectively. It's only recently that their true colors have started to show.]
Nature Preservation Society and Ocean Preservation Society?
Upon reading Daigo's message, Naoki was at a loss for words.
If Red Pine and Blue Castor weren't so extreme, perhaps they could have indeed become such organizations.
After all, Team Magma's goal was to expand landmass and increase human activity areas, thereby closely linking human development with the world's overall happiness.
On the other hand, Team Aqua aimed to expand the oceans and reclaim the habitats that ocean Pokemon had lost due to human desires.
They believed that the ocean was the source of life for all beings and intended to establish an ideal homeland for Pokemon by increasing the ocean's area.
Naoki stared thoughtfully at the message Daigo had sent.
Daigo mentioned that there had been signs of suspicious activity at the Kai Nautical Workshop and the Weather Institute.
This meant that Team Magma and Team Aqua were about to make their move.
All they needed was access to the Seafloor No. 1 Submarine, and they could pinpoint the locations of the two ancient Pokemon through the Weather Institute.
Groudon and Kyogre would soon be awakened.
Seeing that Naoki hadn't responded for a while, Daigo sent another message.
[Daigo: You still there?]
Naoki snapped out of his reverie and carefully thought through his response before typing out his reply to Daigo.
[Stranger1: Things are unfolding as I suspected. If I'm not mistaken, Team Magma and Team Aqua will be taking action soon.
Their goal is those two legendary Pokemon, and based on the previous activities of these two organizations, Team Magma seems to be planning to expand landmass, while Team Aqua intends to increase the ocean's area.
Conveniently, Groudon and Kyogre possess the power they need, so they need to capture them.
Next, Team Magma and Team Aqua's targets may include the Weather Institute and a shipbuilding factory.
That's all I know for now; the rest is up to the Hoenn League.]
Naoki typed out the message in one breath and then heaved a sigh of relief.
This way, the Hoenn League would be alerted to the impending threat.
If they could stop the plans of these two organizations, Groudon and Kyogre would not awaken from their slumber, and the Hoenn region could maintain stability for a few more years.
If they couldn't stop them, then the coastal cities of the Hoenn region would have to make early preparations for evacuation.
Daigo read through Stranger1's reply word for word, then sincerely thanked him.
Next, he prepared to contact the Hoenn League to report this intelligence and dispatch capable trainers to guard the Weather Institute and the Nagi Shipyard in Kai.
As for verifying the authenticity of these speculations...
Daigo felt it unnecessary. If nothing happened, then all was well. But if something did happen, their advance preparations would prove invaluable.
"Phew," Daigo said as he put away his Rotom Phone. But just then, another private message came through.
When he opened it, he saw a surprising message from Stranger1, the content of which was completely unexpected.
[Stranger1: If the Hoenn League is unable to handle the situation when Groudon and Kyogre are resurrected, you can contact me. I might be able to help.]
Daigo was taken aback.
He had assumed the other party was just an ordinary person afraid of retaliation from Team Magma and Team Aqua.
But now, it seemed there was more to them...
Naoki switched off his phone and breathed a sigh of relief. With that, everything should be fine!
He didn't know the exact time when Groudon and Kyogre would awaken, so he couldn't rush to the Hoenn region to witness the event.
But now that he was in contact with Daigo, he might just get the chance to observe this legendary occurrence.
Moreover, since Kyogre had badly injured his Salamence, he felt responsible as its trainer to help it get its revenge.
With the cards he currently held, even if Groudon and Kyogre joined forces, he could handle them.
Not to mention the Ultimate Garchomp.
A single phone call would be enough to summon Dialga and Mega Altaria.
And if all else failed, Salamence could always use the Dragon Summoning Service.
Using the Dragon Scale gifted by the alternate-colored Rayquaza, he could call upon it for assistance.
Given the number of rare candies and energy blocks at stake, Rayquaza would surely be more than happy to teach Kyogre a lesson on Salamence's behalf.
At this thought, Naoki suddenly realized something.
Unknowingly, he had also become a Legend Catcher.
If he had a few more Legendaries at home, he could even assemble a Legend Catcher squad to compete in the World Championships and against the Elite Four.
Extreme Garchomp, Dual Mega Altaria, Dialga, Mewtwo...
What a terrifying lineup!
It was even more impressive than Darknight's team of Legendaries.
But Naoki could only keep these thoughts to himself, as not every Legendary Pokemon was willing to participate in battles.
Dialga, with its playful personality, would likely be eager to join in the fun.
Mega Altaria would surely be willing to help him out.
However, the Mewtwo that now craved a peaceful life might not be so inclined.
After all, Mewtwo had become like Mega Altaria—a farmer Pokemon that disliked conflict and preferred to tend to its garden in the World Tree...
Never mind, let's not think about that! Today was Role Model Day.
Naoki needed to take his three riding goats to the World Tree to visit the little riding goat that Mewtwo had rescued, the one that had once been hurt by humans.
