Infernape is the only Fire-type Pokémon among Natsuhiko's Pokémon.
And Reshiram, being a Fire and Dragon-type Divine Beast, its signature is the Fire Type, whether it be traits or exclusive techniques, all are related to the Fire Type.
If Infernape can learn a bit about using flame from it, or even learning a bit about utilizing the "Cyan Flame," the benefits would be tremendous.
Among the six main Pokémon Natsuhiko currently has on the surface.
Only Latios and Infernape are Gym Leader Level.
"Then I'll trouble you with this." Natsuhiko said seriously.
Reshiram glanced at the two Pokémon, and sensed the other Pokémon playing on its body.
Decisively chose to take Latios and Infernape aside for specialized training.
After Natsuhiko simply assigned training tasks to his Pokémon, he finally had the opportunity to sit down and study this "Philosopher's Stone" thoroughly.
...
...
Unova Alliance.
International Criminal Police Headquarters.
After imprisoning all the surviving top members and officers of the Plasma Team, the pressure that the Plasma Team brought to the Unova Alliance diminished significantly.
Lance represented the Investigation Department, accompanied by Police Chief Lira, to report on the mission.
When Lance, at the International Criminal Police high-level meeting, in front of everyone, reported on Junior Investigator Natsuhiko's contributions during this period, a profound silence fell over the meeting room, and he smiled broadly.
This time.
Natsuhiko truly brought great pride to their Investigation Department.
Even resolving the Plasma Team issue that troubled both the Unova Alliance and the International Criminal Police, Natsuhiko single-handedly took care of more than half the problem.
The speechless expressions of the International Criminal Police high-ranking officials almost made Lance too delighted.
After completing the mission report, Lance swaggered back to the Kanto Region.
But after Lance left.
The International Criminal Police in Unova and the entire Alliance's International Criminal Police convened another meeting encompassing the entire department using the latest holographic imaging communication devices developed by Lysandre Labs in the Kalos Region.
Sitting at the large round table in the conference hall were all the high-level officers of the International Criminal Police.
Most of them were presented in the form of virtual images.
Among the participants, Miss Jenny was the primary focal point.
Sitting at the head of the table was a woman around her forties, with neat short hair, wearing International Criminal Police attire: Miss Jenny.
She is currently the highest-ranking official of the entire International Criminal Police Department.
Among them.
Lira from the Special Operations Department was also present, and she sat relatively forward.
Her identity is quite special.
Not only is she a Police Chief, but also the Grand Duke of the Battle Tower; even though her police rank isn't the highest, her authority is substantial.
She is one of the few among these forefront individuals who isn't a member of the Jenny family.
The "Handsome Guy" police officer who played a crucial undercover role in the recent mission stood behind Lira, being specially allowed to participate in this meeting.
The content of this meeting was actually quite simple.
Miss Jenny at the forefront looked at her, frowning slightly.
"Lira, are you certain about specially enlisting Natsuhiko into the International Criminal Police?"
Police Chief Lira placed her hands on the table, her expression composed and resolute.
"You have all seen Natsuhiko's contributions this time. The role he can play goes beyond just the International Criminal Police, and extends to the area in which we currently lack scientific researchers."
"But you must know, special enlistment means..." hesitated another Miss Jenny sitting on the other side.
"I know, it means he can be exempt from some of our regulations. But besides during missions, we inherently do not restrict personal freedom, do we? I believe that Natsuhiko, as a 'Hero,' will not ignore our mission arrangements," Lira directly interrupted her.
"But he is also an Investigator," another person spoke up.
Lira glanced at the person.
Then, she looked toward the shadowy figure sitting at the first position to Chief Jenny's left:
"There's not no precedent for this."
Everyone's gaze followed her, focusing on that shadow.
In the next moment.
"Heh heh—" a deep, raspy laughter emanated from within the shadow, "I never said I disagreed."
The aged face emerged from the shadow, surprisingly revealing it to be Natsuhiko's teacher, the Ghost-type Elite Four Agatha!
Upon hearing this, many people twitched their mouths.
Is this really about agreeing or not?
Who doesn't know that Natsuhiko is your disciple?
And ever since you, Agatha, took on a disciple, did you know you gained a new nickname?
Overprotective Berserker!
It's unclear where this rumor started.
The currently serving Sinnoh Region Elite Four Hoshino Ryuzi seemed to have a conflict with Natsuhiko, who is a Dojo Leader there, and you directly led the "Ghost Legion" to his home.
Although Hoshino Ryuzi did not stand out to acknowledge this incident.
He also didn't step out to deny it, right?
According to some descriptions, indeed, the backyard of the Hoshino family residence in Zhuqing City was leveled by someone.
Afterwards, Hoshino Ryuzi came out claiming to be researching new techniques.
But with such thorough destruction, everyone knew he was just trying to cover it up.
However, no one came forward to strip away this last fig leaf from the veteran Elite.
But everyone understood what had truly happened.
Especially the International Criminal Police.
Gathering accurate intelligence from subtle clues is their forte.
How could Agatha refuse?
