It's still that office.

Natsuhiko sat behind a solid wood desk with a large number of Poké Balls on it.

These.

All of them were collected from the hunters just now.

Hunters are all people who live with their heads pinned to their belts, and all their belongings are naturally carried on their bodies.

This approach is also cheaper for Xia Yan.

There are not only elves here that belong to them, but also the harvest of the past few days.

Four of the Poké Balls were released individually.

These were the four quasi-king-level elves of those two seat contenders.

"Pick two?"

Natsuhiko looked at Joanna.

Although it's someone else's elf, it's definitely not easy to use.

But if we encounter today's situation again, at least we won't be so passive.

The premise is that Joanna can tame these elves.

In this regard.

Joanna has always admired Xia Yan.

Because although his elves can also be seen at a glance that they are subdued later, they are very obedient to his orders, even if the tacit understanding is not good, obeying orders can also exert good combat effectiveness.

Joanna groaned slightly.

Although she didn't like such elves, she also suffered today.

In the end, she picked up the Dragon King Scorpion and Dong Shi Meow.

These two elves are relatively small in their imprints.

Then Xia Yan looked at the people below who were all injured.

"Seven of you, choose one of each."

Hearing this, the seven people suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Although it was impossible for them to choose a quasi-heavenly king-level elf like Joanna, it was also excellent to be able to obtain a pavilion master-level elf.

They are all hunters, and the requirements for elves are not so high.

It's nice to have a reward.

"You keep these, dispose of what should be disposed of, and keep some of the rest." Xia Yan slowly stood up and said to Joanna.

"Hmm."

"Starting tomorrow, in the black market of Mariejing City, establish a branch of the Hunters' Guild and start recruiting hunters."

Xia Yan walked to the window and looked at the idyllic scenery outside the window.

People who come out of the Hunters' Guild, he won't believe anymore.

Rather than subduing those who may betray at any moment, it is better to re-recruit quickly.

Anyway.

There are also many people in the Alola area.

There are also many people who specialize in catching elves and selling them.

It's just that they don't know that there is such an organization as the Hunters' Guild.

Recruit up.

Whether it's posting a mission, or gathering intelligence, it's good.

Prophase.

You can use these elves as rewards and rewards.

Although they will not stay long, the Alola area will open up in a while, and some roads will be paved early, which will also make it easier to plan some later.

"Okay."

Joanna had no objection.

Through today's battle, she thoroughly realized Xia Yan's strength.

It also recognized his ability to sit in the seat.

To help him is to help herself, Joanna has always had this voice in her heart.

Maybe......

Joanna narrowed her eyes.

When the Alola region is opened, the Hunter Guild will have the right to speak in this area, and who will have the final say.

"By the way, the skeleton team and the Aether Foundation you contacted us last time have news." Joanna finally spoke.

"You go and get in touch with the Skeleton team and spend some money and have them help gather information about the remaining candidates for the seats."

Xia Yan lifted the hat on his head.

"I'm going to meet the Aether Foundation."

...

...

Following.

Natsuhiko led the elves to climb Mount Ranakira, the highest mountain in the Alola region and completely covered in snow and ice.

Here, after the alliance is fully settled, it will become the headquarters of the Alola Alliance.

He wanted to come and see if he could meet Alola Nine-Tails, or Alola Piercing King.

These two elves are still more practical.

Alola's nine-tailed ice and fairy attributes are simply the nemesis of the dragon type.

The main thing, of course, is to be good-looking.

Think about it, in the future, when Xia Yan's Eevee has all evolved, and then get a group of Menas and an Alola Nine-Tails, with Pokkiss, how many cards will there be?

How about announcing the champion directly in the Gorgeous Contest?

It's a joke, of course.

Xia Yan subdued the elves, and the first thing he saw was the fit between the elves and himself, the suitability with the lineup, and then the appearance of the elves.

In addition to the Alola Nine-Tails, the Alola Piercing King is also good.

The combination of ice and steel, although it is defeated by the fighting and fire types, has enough resistance to make up for the shortcomings in this regard.

The "Snow Picking" trait, coupled with the "Sword Dance" that can be learned by itself, can also become the object attacker of the Snow Sky Team.

I believe that Kona and Daigo, who know about this kind of elf, should be very interested.

But alas.

He spun around, but couldn't touch their shadows.

I met a few snow boys.

But Xia Yan doesn't have much desire for this kind of elf, and their strength is not strong, so there is no need to capture them.

But after coming up, a few little ones had a lot of fun.

After looking around and not finding it, Xia Yan knew that he couldn't force it, and seeing that they were having fun, he decided to take a break and let them play for a while.

"Os!"

Ladios picked up a cloud of snow and smashed it at Ibrahim.

"Bu Te ~~"

Ibrahim's little nose was red, and he took a bath in the snow that was picked up by Ladios.

"Boo Boo Bu Bu Ti!!"

Shaking his body so hard that he couldn't shake out all the snow mixed in his thick hair.

Suddenly angry.

He aimed his ass at Ladios and pretended to be angry.

(?? ˇεˇ??)

"Oss?"

Seeing this, Ladios cautiously stepped forward, wanting to come forward to see how Eevee was doing.

Outcome.

Eevee, who had his back to it, had a sly look in his eyes.

Facing Ladios's head, his hind legs kicked the ground, and he took the snow as sand and gave it a "splash of sand".

Ladios, who was drenched, blinked.

"Bu Te Bu T ~~"

Seeing Ladios's embarrassed appearance, Eevee burst into tears of laughter and rolled in the snow.

"Oth!!"

Ladios knew that he had been tricked, and he was immediately "angry".

I don't know where I got the inspiration, so I took a big breath and blew it towards Ibu.

The breath of extreme cold, wrapped in a little ice ballast, spit out from its mouth.

"Freezing winds?"

Xia Yan, who saw this scene, was stunned.

I didn't expect Ladios to play games and learn moves?

Actually, Ladios himself didn't expect it.

I just did it subconsciously.

And then it was used.

Eevee rolled on the ground a few times.

When he stood up again, his expression was confused, and his body was covered with ice ballast.

"Osios~~"

This time, it was Ladios' turn to happily spin in mid-air.

Not far away.

Porkis dusted off the ice ballast from his face.

It's kind of affected by the pond fish.

Suddenly.

Ladios and Eevee's expressions froze at the same time.

Pokkiss's gaze fell on them.

￢o(￣-￣?)

"Osios~~"

"Bu Te Bu T ~~"

The two elves waved their hands and retreated.

"Cha Ke Babble!!"

Pokkiss flapped his wings and rolled up a large amount of wind and snow, overwhelmingly towards Ladios and Eevee.

The two elves saw the battle.

I was taken aback.

Hurry and run away.

Ultimately.

They have found a backer.

Kirbymon!

With the huge body of Kirbymon as a city wall, it resisted the "baptism" of Pokkiss's wind and snow.

It's just that Kirbymon's body is covered with a lot of snow.

Then the three elves had a snowball fight around Kirbymon.

As the "war" expanded, several more elves were "forced" to join their "battle".

And when an elf intervened.

Things are different.

That's when Kapo Bear came out.

Ladios swallowed quietly and looked at the huge snowball that Kabi was holding on his head, twice as big as Kirbymon.

He slammed his body behind Kirbymon.

This was followed by Pokkiss and the Fierce Fire Monkey.

"Bu Te ~~"

'Wow~~'

Ibu's eyes were full of little stars, and he was a little slow to react.

Luckily, Ladios hurriedly pulled it back.

There was a rare expression on Ka Po Bear's face.

Eventually......

Kirbymon buried in the snow and almost becomes a large snowman: ......

Played for a while.

Xia Yan saw that a few little guys were tired of playing, so he clapped his palms and called them back, signaling that it was time to go.

The little ones have had enough.

Putting away the elf, Natsuhiko hugged little Eevee, who was curled up in his arms and yawned to fall asleep, and left the summit of Ranakira Mountain.

But after they left.

A snow-white and pure figure appeared in the place where they had just played.

Pure blue eyes blinked.

In the wind and snow, the figure looms.

Faintly you can see that the nine slender tails behind him are flying wantonly along the wind and snow.

And at its feet, followed by a round little guy who was also snow-white.

glanced at Xia Yan in the distance, and their shadows were getting farther and farther away.

He lowered his head and gently flicked the remaining snowballs on the ground, revealing a happy smile.

"Whew~~" screamed glutinously.

But after playing for a while, it seemed that it was not fun to play alone, and I looked into the distance with some longing.

The larger elf picked it up, dodged a few times, and disappeared into the snowstorm.

...

...

House of Aether.

A complex of buildings on the west coast of the island of Ula Ulaura, on the other side of the Ranakira Mountains.

This is one of the Aether Foundation's bases on the island of Ulaula.

There are a large number of elves living in it.

There are many children who like elves, and before they can meet Alola's local rules and become trainers, they like to run to the house of ether to play with these elves.

Of course, there are also some people who have become trainers and come here to play with the elves.

Like Acelola.

Natsuhiko came to the door of the Aether.

He was greeted by a woman wearing a white coat with a pink sweater underneath, high heels, and pink-rimmed eyes.

Bico.

One of the top executives of the Aether Foundation.

This illustrates.

Some of the information provided by Xia Yan has attracted the attention of the Aether Foundation.

"You're an informant from outside Alola, Mr. Yanxia, right?"

Bike saw Xia Yan waiting at the door, and greeted him with a smile.

Bico is a very gentle and considerate person, who has no arrogance towards his subordinates and others, and is highly rated in the Aether Foundation.

It can be regarded as one of the few good people in the Aether Foundation, which seems to be a neutral organization.

As for the "tipster".

It's just a name that Xia Yan casually came up with.

Because the Alola area is about to open.

A lot of information about the outside world is what the Alola region needs.

This allows for better and faster integration into the alliance system.

Although in this regard, the alliance will not be stingy.

But what the alliance provides will certainly only be some good direction information.

And there is a lot of bad information about the alliance today, such as some underground organizations, which is estimated not to be revealed.

How can anyone want to pull others into the gang and say that they are not good?

And these are also very important for the Aether Foundation, an organization that plays an important role in the Alola region.

Of course, the Aether Foundation will definitely send some people to do some research on their own.

However, in some aspects of intelligence information, Xia Yan is still very confident.

There are some things he knows that may not even be clear to the current Alliance.

Xia Yan thought that the person who came to contact him would be Zaobo.

But thinking about Zaobo, who is secretly bitter and mean, and who is bent on research and just wants to get ahead, it is estimated that he will not take care of a "little person" like Xia Yan.

smiled and shook Bike's hand gently.

"Alola."

Hearing this, Bike was stunned, and then replied with a smile, "Alola." ”

Lead Natsuhiko inside.

"It seems that Mr. Yan Xia still has some understanding of our Alola culture."

"Hehe—as an informant, this is a must."

"Yes." Bike chuckled.

"I don't know where Mr. Yan Xia is from?" Bike asked again.

Xia Yan helped his hat.

He felt that he should be equipped with a cane to be more in line with his current status.

"Sinnoh region."

Xia Yan also understands Bike's question.

After all, in terms of identity, he is a person of unknown origin, and if some basic questions cannot be answered, there is no need to continue to go inside.

"Sinnoh region? I once traveled to the Kanto area for a while, and I heard that there was a very powerful organization called ...... Rockets? Bike said with a smile that seemed to be intentional and unintentional.

Xia Yan's eyes flashed.

Bi Ke traveled to Guandu, and he was not surprised.

Just like Dandi in the Legar region, isn't he wandering around the various regions of the alliance now?

As the largest organization in the Alola region, the Aether Foundation cannot afford to be granted some privileges by the Alliance.

And he knows better.

The Aether Foundation and the Sinnoh region are inextricably linked.

It is even possible that the current chairman of the Foundation, the Rusa Mina family, is not a native of Alola, and is very likely to be from the Sinnoh region.

Secondly.

Artificial sprite attribute created by the Aether Foundation: Empty.

Or the Silver Companion War Beast.

The "AR system" installed.

A large part of it was developed based on some of the materials recovered from the Water Pulse Library in the Sinnoh region.

The Silver Companion War Beast, which can change its attributes at will according to the loading disc, and Arceus, the "God of Creation", who changes its attributes according to the power of the slate.

Saying that they are okay, I don't think anyone will believe them.

After all.

Arceus is known as the "Little Silver Companion War Beast".

Maybe now the property: void has been created.

This is a testament to how powerful the Aether Foundation is.

Those who think that the Aether Foundation can't do it are just a small group of people in society who don't understand the difficulty of creating divine beasts.

Even if it is created on the basis of part of the original.

"yes, Team Rocket is a very powerful organization." Xia Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he said words of admiration in his mouth.

"Really? I don't know how it compares to our Aether Foundation? ”

Miss Bike laughed.

The Aether Foundation and Team Rocket?

Is this comparing itself to an underground organization?

Bike smiled, "I said the wrong thing. ”

It seems to be a word, but it is not a temptation.

Test whether Xia Yan is a serious businessman.

They have a different attitude towards the Ether Foundation.

Then the two chatted a little more, seemingly casual, but they were always playing the topic of side balls.

Came to the end of the aether house aisle.

Ultimately.

Bike finally asked for a message that Xia Yan asked Joanna to send.

It was this message that led him to knock on the door of the Aether Foundation.

"Mr. Yan Xia, I don't know if what you said is true and reliable that you have seen the ultimate beast and even seen the person who came out of the ultimate hole?"

That's right.

Natsuhiko knew that Rusa Mina had an almost twisted love for elves and liked to collect different kinds of elves.

Underneath her private mansion, there are a large number of elves frozen, and those are her "collections".

And the ultimate beast is the existence that Lusa Minay has chased so far, but has not been able to see and collect.

Xia Yan knew that as soon as his words came out, he could definitely attract the attention of Lusa Mina.

It was also the only effective and fastest way he could think of to get close to the Aether Foundation, to get close to Luza Mina.

Why approach Lusa Minay?

Close to the Aether Foundation?

Because in the Alola region, the help that the Aether Foundation can give him is incomparable even after the alliance has settled in the Alola region for a period of time.

What helps?

Let the Hunter Guild settle in the Alola region!

He's not even a seat now, so he's starting to think about letting the Hunter Guild settle in the Alola region?

Because when the Alola region is opened, this is destined to be a place where the Hunters' Guild will fight.

Because Xia Yan can't just be satisfied with an ordinary seat.

Because to deal with Tom Rich, who is at the top of the bench, he must also have a similar status.

Because....... He was in the Alola region and saw the possibility of earning a lot of resources.

Kikuko's mission is part of it, and he also has to plan for his future.

Preparing for a rainy day can end up not succeeding.

But you can't help but try.

Besides, his current opportunity is the best time.

The current Aether Foundation, the current Lusa Mina, has not been completely blackened.

Hearing this, Xia Yan said with a smile: "I don't know, can I let me meet Chairman Lusa Minai with such a gift?" ”

Instead of answering Biko's question, he asked a rhetorical question.

Bi Ke pursed her lips, and after a little thought, she said, "Actually, Mr. Yan Xia, you are not the first person to provide this kind of information in these years. But after our investigation, they are all fake. ”

It's normal, given the size and capabilities of the Aether Foundation, there won't be a few people who want to try their luck.

As for their results, although Bi Ke didn't say it, Xia Yan also had points in his heart.

smiled: "Isn't this the reason why Miss Bike received me?" ”

She was the first to check for Lusa Minay.

Bike smiled and nodded.

The ID card was swiped on the instrument next to the gate.

The high-tech metal door opens slowly.

Inside is an office.

And sitting in the back of the office facing the door, with his head propped up, with long blonde hair, his appearance is extremely exquisite, and he can't see the cheeks that the years have left traces on him.

Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Aether Foundation.

Rusa Mina!
