It wasn't until Ash and Cynthia appeared that a new path opened up in this stalemate.
Ash and Cynthia have already joined Team Galactic, and from their status, they belong to Team Galactic members.
But anyone can see that they are only temporarily using Team Galactic as a base in Jubilife Village and have not truly sided with Team Galactic.
More importantly, their approach to Pokemon is different from Team Galactic's.
Ash can understand the emotions of Pokemon and is willing to communicate with them proactively.
Between Cynthia and Garchomp, there is no relationship of commander and tool. The trust built over a long period of time is obvious to everyone.
With their involvement, the Diamond Clan and Pearl Clan are more likely to accept it.
"Is this why you insisted on raising their rank to Three Stars?"
Irida raised her head, her gaze falling on Kamado.
"Indeed, Team Galactic's rules cannot be changed at will," Kamado replied calmly, "but I also need time to observe them."
"Ash has the ability to communicate with Pokemon, and Cynthia has Pokemon capable of suppressing leader groups. Their abilities are very suitable for quelling the King."
"But ability is one thing; character and intention are another."
"The quelling of the King concerns the entire Hisui Region. I can't just entrust such an important matter to them based on the completion of one task."
"Raising them from Zero Star to Three Stars is enough for us to see how they treat the people in Jubilife Village, as well as how they treat Pokemon."
Only then did Adaman and Irida truly understand Kamado's plan.
The so-called Star Level restriction is both a rule that Team Galactic must follow and a period given to all three parties for observation.
If Ash and Cynthia prove trustworthy, they will naturally become the best candidates to resolve the King's rampage.
If the two reveal other motives during this period, all three parties can adjust their plans accordingly.
"In any case, this plan will suffice for now."
Kamado said in a deep voice.
"I will have Team Galactic keep an eye on their actions."
"If you're not reassured, you can also send your own people to observe."
His intention was simply to suggest that all three parties could confirm the situation of the two together, preventing Adaman and Irida from suspecting Team Galactic of concealing information.
Who knew that, after exchanging glances, the two would simultaneously nod.
"Then we'll respectfully accept the offer."
Two voices sounded almost simultaneously.
Kamado: "..."
No, he was just being polite; are you really planning on sending people over?
But since he had already spoken, Kamado naturally couldn't take back his words.
But since he had already spoken, Kamado naturally couldn't take back his words.
He could only wave his hand, face dark, telling the two to leave as soon as possible.
Once the office was quiet again, Kamado pressed a hand to his still aching chest.
Observing Cynthia was quite normal.
As for Ash...
Recalling the scene of being thrown to the ground with one move, Kamado suddenly thought that those responsible for observing should best keep their distance from that kid.
That night, Ash and Cynthia chatted for a while before lying back on their beds.
What they needed to do next wasn't complex.
First, complete Team Galactic's commission to raise their Star Level to Three Stars.
At the same time, get acquainted with Jubilife Village and the Obsidian Fieldlands, to understand how humans live in this era, and how the Pokemon here differ from those in modern times.
Ultimately, they must return to their original time, but before collecting all the Stone Tablets and finding a way back, they have to continue living in the Hisui Region.
The first night, neither of them slept well.
The unfamiliar room, the strange era, and the occasional Pokemon cries outside the window all reminded them they had left their familiar world.
"Ash, are you asleep?"
"Not yet."
"Thinking about home?"
"Yeah."
Ash looked at the dim ceiling and said softly, "Mom must be very worried about me now, and everyone is probably searching for us."
"The Sinnoh League must be in chaos too."
Leaning on her pillow, Cynthia spoke with a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, we've already found a way back. It shouldn't take too long."
"Yeah... Wonder how Dialga, and Mewtwo, are doing."
"As for Mewtwo, I wouldn't worry too much. That one's Divine Domain Level. As for Dialga and others... Since arriving in this world, perhaps their energy depleted, and they're temporarily resting somewhere."
The next morning, Ash and Cynthia officially began their lives as members of Team Galactic.
They first received tasks suitable for Zero Star members from Cyllene, then learned the recording process with Professor Laventon's guidance.
The initial tasks weren't difficult.
Collecting specified berries, investigating Pokemon distribution in the outskirts of the Obsidian Fieldlands, finding lost tools for the survey team, and escorting villagers unfamiliar with Pokemon habits to safe areas.
Given Ash and Cynthia's prowess, these commissions posed almost no danger.
But Team Galactic's mission evaluations don't rely solely on combat.
Completeness of investigation records, route safety, how one deals with Pokemon encountered, and whether the commission is genuinely handled properly all influence the final evaluation.
Ash was initially a bit out of his element.
Battling and calming Pokemon was simple for him, but writing down all the Pokemon encountered and their activity range in a report gave him a headache.
Luckily, Cynthia was very skilled at organizing information.
Ash would communicate with the Pokemon to confirm why they recently changed their activity area.
Cynthia would document the environmental changes and organize the information Ash got into reports that Team Galactic could understand.
