From the perspective of Teppei's identity, Sato Kaede came to Kena City this time to join a relative, an uncle who has not been in touch for many years.

In fact, the most difficult thing for Teppei is that he has contacted this uncle, whom he has never met, to ask for help.

It's a pity that Teppei, an uncle who has long established himself in Kena City and has a small family business, looks down on his poor relative at all, and as soon as he talks about borrowing money, the other party begins to pretend to be dead, and he is not willing to borrow a penny at all.

In the end, even if Tehei was hospitalized and became a vegetative person, his uncle still didn't come to see him.

It can be seen how much this uncle of Zheping does not want to see his poor relative.

Therefore, Sato Kaede didn't have the intention of going to this "uncle" at all, and when he came to Kena City this time, he just wanted to use this most prosperous city in the Hoenn region as a foothold, and then start the alliance road in the Hoenn region.

However, now that he is embarking on the path of the alliance in the Hoenn region, he must first register as an alliance trainer, and the league tournament will always only be attended by registered alliance trainers, and the same is true for the promotion path within the alliance.

In general, the alliance is similar to other powers, and it is also very xenophobic.

So the question is, how can a civilian trainer with no background like Teppei become a real alliance trainer?

It stands to reason that there is generally only one way, that is, Sato Kaede first goes to the Pokemon Center to register as a trainer registered in the alliance, and then by completing some tasks arranged by the alliance, after reaching a certain number of tasks, Sato Kaede can automatically become a peripheral member of the alliance (even if he is not a direct trainer).

Although they are only peripheral members of the Alliance, they are also eligible to participate in Alliance competitions, and also have the right to freely choose the tasks issued by the Alliance and the right to use the Alliance's internal currency to purchase items within the Alliance

However, now the situation has changed, Sato Kaede now has a letter of introduction with a lot of energy, as long as he has this letter of introduction, he can skip the initial link in minutes, and then directly become a peripheral member of the alliance, and may even become an internal member of the alliance (descendant trainer).

Yes, this letter of introduction was naturally given to him by the old captain Regu, who is also an alliance trainer, and as a former king-level trainer, his status within the alliance is not low.

It is precisely because of this that Sato Kaede is confident that he can quickly become a registered alliance trainer through this letter of introduction, and he is also a person with a king-level trainer behind him.

According to Captain Raygu's parting words, Sato Kaede is now going to the Marine Research Institute in Kena City to find a Dr. Elf named Todd, and then give him this letter of introduction from Raygu.

Sato Kaede listened to Captain Lei Gu's introduction, this little elf doctor named Todd was his old friend, and in that chaotic era, the two were also comrades in arms who were born and died.

Todd's hometown is really Kena City, he is a top figure in the field of pixie research when it comes to studying sea elves, he has published many famous papers, and his status within the alliance is much higher than that of Regu.

Therefore, Captain Ray told Sato Kaede with certainty that as long as he handed over this letter to Todd, it would not matter if he wanted to become an alliance trainer.

The Institute of Oceanography is located in the upper right corner of the city of Kena, it is built on a high cliff on the shore of the eastern coast of Kena City, Sato Kaede is not familiar with the place, he asked many people along the way to find this research institute away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

It's just that when Sato Kaede came to the gate of the Institute of Oceanography, he found that the Institute of Oceanography was completely closed, and even if he rang the doorbell outside for a long time, no one came to open the door.

In the end, in desperation, Sato Kaede had to use his mental power to observe the situation inside through the door, and then he found that there was no one in the research institute now.

"What's the situation? What the hell is going on here? How can there be no one in such a large research institute? ”

Kaede Sato looked at the huge but empty research institute in front of him and thought with a strange expression.

It was obviously useless to wait here, so Sato Kaede had to turn around and leave with a hint of disappointment.

However, he did not choose to give up, he walked around the neighborhood, and finally found a person in a small fishing village nearby who knew something about the situation at the Institute of Oceanography.

"Sir, you're saying that the people in that institute have mysteriously disappeared in front of them."

In front of the commissary in the small fishing village, Sato Kaede handed a bottle of high-end beer worth 50 alliance coins in his hand to the greedy old man in front of him, and then said with a look of surprise.

"Yes, it's just a matter of the past few days, this thing is very strange, overnight, all the people in that research institute have disappeared, if it weren't for the people who sent supplies in the morning, no one might have found out for days....."

The old man hurriedly took the beer handed over by Sato Kaede, and after taking a few sips, he explained in detail to Sato Kaede the reason why there was no one at the Institute of Oceanography now.

"It's really unlucky, I didn't come sooner, but I disappeared when I came, this is too unlucky, is it because I opened the treasure chest and consumed all the character I have accumulated for a long time?"

After listening to the old man's words, Sato Kaede couldn't help but feel disappointed in his luck, and thought to himself with chagrin.

According to the old man's introduction, the whereabouts of the people in the Institute of Oceanography are still unknown, and although the police in Kena City have almost all dispatched because of this incident, and even alarmed a Four Heavenly King, they have not been able to find the whereabouts of the missing people in the Institute of Oceanography so far.

"It's impossible to disappear for no reason, I guess the people in the institute were kidnapped, and they were kidnapped without being able to fight back, if that's the case, this thing is completely beyond my ability."

Sato Kaede followed the old man's brief description and analyzed, and finally came to a conclusion that made him feel extremely helpless.

Dr. Todd of the Institute of Oceanography used to be a comrade-in-arms who was born and died with Captain Thunder, so his strength is obviously not bad, even if he is old and his strength has declined, but the strength of the quasi-heavenly king level must still be there.

According to the introduction of the old man in the fishing village and what he learned about the Institute of Oceanography with his mental power, there is no trace of a fight in the Institute of Oceanography, which means that the people in the Institute should have been kidnapped without resistance or without being able to resist.

"By the way, on the night of the disappearance of the people from the institute, I happened to be walking on the beach, and I seemed to see a ship leaving quickly on the surface of the sea, and the speed of the ship was really fast, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Soon, the old man of the fishing village drank the 500 ml bottle of high-end beer, he made a wine gap, and then said to Sato Kaede drunkenly.
