"And one more thing!"
His dad hadn't finished yet. He said solemnly,
"Dewford Town and the nearby waters haven't been very peaceful lately. Be careful whenever you go out!"
Yong frowned.
"Are they all here because they covet the power of Mega Evolution?"
His dad shook his head.
"Not all of them! I just have a feeling something is going to happen in Hoenn soon, so it's best to be careful!"
Yong nodded thoughtfully.
What could happen at this point in time?
"There's something else. The Pokémon League has notified us about the departure date for the Kalos Region. It'll probably be moved up!"
His dad said gravely,
"An unfamiliar environment, an unfamiliar region, unfamiliar dealings... now that we've decided to go to the Kalos Region, there's no telling whether things will turn out well or badly! But this is also an opportunity!"
There were no outsiders present, only people they could trust, so his dad held nothing back.
"Although the Stone family has always treated us gently, I know that's because of your relationship with Mr. Steven! That's why they haven't thrown their weight around as a financial dynasty, instead taking a conciliatory approach toward the Ishida family and Shiyan Company."
Looking at the family members present, his dad's voice grew subdued.
"Since we've already decided to break away from the Stone family, the Kalos Region is our family's opportunity! Son..."
His dad looked at Yong.
"Although Mr. Steven truly lacks the arrogance and selfishness you'd expect from the heir to the strongest financial dynasty among the Seventeen Families, still..."
"Old man..."
Yong smiled faintly, held his mom's hand, and looked his dad in the eyes.
"I understand what you mean! Don't worry, old man! The person I know is Steven, Champion of the Hoenn League! Not Steven Stone!
