Agatha gave Tetsuya a half-smiling look but said nothing more.
After all, even she was immensely astonished by the speed at which this young man had improved.
She remembered that she had first taken notice of him because of her own grandson, who had shown considerable talent as a Trainer.
However.
Her grandson was still striving to become an Elite Four Level Trainer, while the young man before her was already capable of challenging the Elite Four.
They were practically the same age. Tetsuya was even a little younger.
Tetsuya looked at Agatha somewhat strangely.
The latter smiled, wrinkles creasing across her face. "Sorry, sorry. When you get old, you tend to zone out habitually, just like Lorelei."
Had he just heard a rather strange description?
Tetsuya's mouth twitched, and he wisely deleted that memory from his mind.
"When do you plan to leave?"
Agatha sat in her chair with her cane in hand, asking Tetsuya with great interest.
"Probably after the New Year. A new year should begin in a new region."
After thinking for a moment, he answered, "Do you need something?"
Agatha had been stationed in Viridian for a period of time.
However.
Although she knew he was here, she had never taken the initiative to seek him out.
Since she had specifically called him over today, she surely had something to say.
Agatha let out a somewhat chilling laugh. "You're very clever. That really is an advantage."
"You know about the organization called Team Galactic in the Sinnoh Region, don't you?"
Though phrased as a question, her tone was utterly certain.
Tetsuya raised an eyebrow. "Of course."
Team Galactic was a Dark Organization in the Sinnoh Region. Its status was roughly equivalent to Team Rocket's in the past: the leading force of a region's underground powers.
