"Pfft."
Tetsuya ultimately couldn't hold back and laughed.
"Sorry, I switched careers halfway through and never received professional training. I'll definitely be more careful next time."
Facing the looks the two gave him, he calmly explained himself.
Professor Nihara gave a helpless wry smile.
For a Trainer,
when money could no longer move them, only Pokemon or related items could spark their interest.
Without a doubt,
a pseudo-Legendary hatchling and a Mega Stone were exactly such things.
None of the Ranger Union's upper management, Professor Nihara included, had ever imagined that the reward they planned to offer was something Tetsuya already possessed.
"Ah."
Professor Nihara sighed. "Name your price. The Ranger Union will definitely do everything in our power to meet it."
"Why do you have to ask me?"
Tetsuya was deeply puzzled. "The Ranger Union's high-level combat power shouldn't be that scarce, right? Seven and the others seem very capable too.
And according to your plan, with Cresselia and Heatran working together, dealing with that Darkrai shouldn't be difficult, should it?"

The remaining seven only have Elite Four Level partner Pokemon."
"Ah? That's so—"
Tetsuya stopped
