Unusual Movement at Mt. Pyre

"Mr. Tetsuya? What are you doing here?"

There was no misunderstanding where they mistook him for a Dark Organization member.

The leading Officer Jenny recognized the young Trainer from Kanto almost immediately.

Over the past two or three months,

Tetsuya had made quite a name for himself in the Hoenn Region.

Most people who paid attention to such matters knew that Kanto had produced a second "Lance."

Although Tetsuya had no interest whatsoever in becoming a second Lance,

he was still quite happy to be called that.

There were certainly plenty of things to criticize about Doduo, but no one could deny that man's talent as a Trainer.

Being called the second coming of him was the dream of countless young Trainers.

As for whether someone might impersonate him,

Ampharos was right beside him.

A Shiny pink Ampharos—there were so few in the world that one could count them all on both hands. It was impossible to fake.

Tetsuya raised the stone in his hand. "I just dealt with a minor problem. I'm truly sorry for disturbing you."

His tone was gentle.

He was nothing like the proud, powerful geniuses Officer Jenny had met before.

"This is an Odd Keystone. An Elite Four Level Spiritomb is Imprisoned inside it."

Seeing the confusion in everyone's eyes,

Tetsuya briefly explained what the stone in his hand was.

The Odd Keystone was not particularly well-known.

Moreover, aside from its patterns, it looked no different from an ordinary stone.

So it was perfectly normal that this group had failed to recognize it.

There were countless strange and bizarre things in the Pokemon World. It was impossible for anyone to know them all.

Not even Tetsuya, with his Photographic Memory, could manage that.

But that did not matter.

An Elite Four Level Spiritomb.

Those words
