"Alright." Chief Jenny pressed her hands down again and looked at Lila, asking in a brisk tone, "Lila, what are your plans?"
Lila saw Chief Jenny's attitude and knew it was about time.
She immediately sat up straight and said in a deep voice, "UB Countermeasures Department."
"UB?" Chief Jenny was taken aback for a moment.
The "UB Countermeasures Department" is a special department established by the League during its investigation of the Alola Region.
It specifically targets the "Ultimate Beasts" and the "Ultimate Cave" known in the Alola Region.
Lila nodded and continued, "With the Alola Region opening shortly, I apply to transfer from the Special Operations Department to the UB Countermeasures Department, and appoint Natsuhiko as the deputy director of the UB Countermeasures Department, with the rank of Deputy Police Chief."
Upon hearing this, the others didn't have time to react.
The "handsome guy" standing behind Lila couldn't help but click his tongue.
Deputy Police Chief?
He had been undercover diligently for so long and hadn't even made it to Deputy Police Chief.
Natsuhiko came and immediately became a Deputy Police Chief, which shows the importance the International Criminal Police places on him.
However, the "handsome guy" didn't feel any jealousy.
An outstanding researcher, with extraordinary investigative and combat abilities, and still the "Hero of Truth".....
He thought that if not for Lila's identity as the "Battle Tower Monarch" weighing him down, appointing Natsuhiko as the "UB Countermeasures Department Director" wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility.
It was purely a matter of amazement.
Talent shines wherever it goes.
"Are you going to the UB too?" Chief Jenny furrowed her brows once more.
Lila's abilities are well-known, and among the Special Operations Department's self-styled capable officers, only Lila could keep them in line. If she goes to this "idle department" like the UB, what about those rowdy ones in the Special Operations Department?
"Yes!"
But in this matter, Lila's attitude is resolute.
Not long ago, a few people who claimed to be from the Alola Region's Ethereum Foundation found Lila and confirmed her identity.
They directly told her she was someone who walked out of the "Ultimate Cave."
Because of the special atmosphere inside the "Ultimate Cave," anyone entering without protective gear would immediately be harmed by the atmosphere inside, and losing all memory was normal.
And Lila indeed had no memory of her younger days and was taken away by the International Criminal Police after walking out of the "Ultimate Cave."
Upon learning she was someone who came out of the "Ultimate Cave," Lila was keen to investigate her origins and the truth.
But because the Alola Region wasn't open, she could never act on it.
Now.
The Alola Region is about to open.
The "UB Countermeasures Department" is the one she's most enthusiastic about.
Additionally.
As a top research talent, Natsuhiko can serve not only as Deputy Director but also as the Chief Researcher of the "UB Countermeasures Department," playing the role of two or three top talents in one person, making him the most suitable for the role.
Chief Jenny looked at Lila's determined attitude, her expression complex.
With a slight sigh, she asked, "You know?"
Lila nodded.
Chief Jenny also knew of Lila's origins.
Since Lila's attitude was firm, she couldn't stop a person from exploring their origins.
Moreover.
With the Alola Region opening, there indeed needs to be someone capable enough to oversee the Alola Region, and Lila is undoubtedly the best choice.
...
...
"It seems this really is the method of using the barrier."
After studying for a long time, Natsuhiko slowly opened his eyes, smacking his lips while looking at the "Philosopher's Stone" in his hand.
The old king didn't really want to imprison Victini here.
He knew he wouldn't survive after moving the "Earth Sword," so he deliberately left the method to control the barrier.
But unfortunately.
There were no more Superpower Users among the "Earth People," or rather, no one dared to open the barrier casually, causing Victini to be locked in for so long for nothing.
"It's not just about the barrier, but also some insights from the Superpower Users."
Natsuhiko finally obtained the formal method to enhance his superpowers, rather than the rather brutal and straightforward way mentioned by Jade Liya.
In ancient times.
It seems there was a complete lineage of Superpower Users, but for some reason, Superpower Users became extremely rare, and even their lineage disappeared.
"Strange..."
Natsuhiko focused his superpower.
A small flower appeared out of thin air in front of him.
According to the records in the "Philosopher's Stone," this flower was used by the old king as a final signature.
"I feel like I've seen it somewhere..." Natsuhiko murmured.
For a moment, he couldn't remember.
Fortunately, after becoming a Superpower User, his memory improved significantly, making it easier to search through fragments of memory.
"That woman at Elite Candidate Level sent by Hoshino Ryuzi to attack me also had such a flower on her clothes!"
Natsuhiko's eyes widened slightly.
It could be a coincidence.
But after everything that happened in Goldenrod City, Natsuhiko no longer believes in coincidences.
He'd rather believe there is a connection.
Even.....
Beep beep beep—
His communication device suddenly started ringing.
Seeing the avatar displayed on the screen, Natsuhiko raised an eyebrow.
He pressed the answer button.
"Inspector Lila."
On the screen appeared Lila's face, seemingly ageless and youthful.
If she weren't in an Interpol uniform, if she donned some young clothes and carried a backpack to go to school, some might actually believe it.
The main thing is...
Ahem, a bit flat.
"Mr. Natsuhiko."
