Chapter 145:
It wasn’t that Kazephyr was afraid of conflict with this Darkrai, but as the Champion, he bore certain responsibilities.
His considerations couldn’t be based solely on personal opinion.
However, after hearing Darkrai’s request, Kazephyr’s expression turned strange.
Looking for a Pokémon?
A very powerful Pokémon, one that possesses its energy.
Three preliminary conditions.
None of them were useful.
’How am I supposed to find it?’
Kazephyr fell into deep thought...

Inside the Breeding House.
After leading wtwo to the plantation,
Hayashi Kaede looked at the youth form wtwo had taken, a hint of surprise on his face. "What brings you here?"
wtwo replied calmly, "Finished traveling, so I ca."
Unlike their last eting, Hayashi Kaede didn’t sense much hostility from it this ti.
"There’s one more thing. This ti, I plan to take Dragonite with . I need it to deliver a ssage."
Hayashi Kaede let out a puzzled "Huh?" before quickly catching on.
If wtwo needed Dragonite to deliver ssages, did that an the plot of wtwo Strikes Back was about to begin?
With his involvent this ti, would wtwo go easier on Ash and the others?
"It seems to be living very well here."
wtwo’s tone carried a hint of sothing unreadable.
When it arrived earlier, it had already taken a glance at Dragonite. Seeing its noticeably rounder figure, wtwo felt an inexplicable twinge of jealousy.
This dragon must be eating quite well here.
"Ahahaha..." Hayashi Kaede laughed along. "That’s true. It’s definitely the biggest eater here now."
"Mmm." wtwo remained impassive.
"How long do you plan to take it for?" Hayashi Kaede, not picking up on the subtle shift in its tone, continued casually. "We’ll be constructing road here in a few days, and I might still need it."
"Just three... no, five or six days. It won’t be long." wtwo’s voice grew even flatter.
"Alright." Hayashi Kaede asked again, "Want sothing to eat?"
Hearing this, wtwo’s expression shifted from neutral to a slight smile. "The sa as last ti will do."
Hayashi Kaede nodded. "Steak and soup, right? Sure, wait a bit. I’ll make it for lunch."
He added enthusiastically, "It’s been a while since you’ve been here. There are plenty of new delicious things I can make now. You’ll get to try them all later."
He casually glanced at its status panel.
[Pokémon: wtwo]
[Gender: Genderless]
[Ability: Pressure]
[Potential: God]
[IVs: HP (28) Attack (31) Sp. Atk (31) Defense (28) Sp. Def (29) Speed (31)]
[Level: 100]
[Moves: Disable, Confusion, Swift, Ancient Power, Life Dew, Psychic...]
[Happiness: 60]
[Friendship: 70]
Seeing these stats, Hayashi Kaede felt a surge of security.
Even wtwo had a Friendship level of 70.
With power like this, who would dare cause trouble?
Seeing a stranger suddenly enter the plantation, the Pokémon who hadn’t t wtwo before were all surprised.
Aside from Takagi gumi, Hayashi Kaede didn’t allow anyone else into the plantation.
The Pidgeot flying overhead often warned custors who tried to enter with sharp cries.
Over ti, everyone learned that the plantation was off-limits to visitors.
Among them, Gardevoir had the strongest reaction.
Its usual lazy deanor instantly turned vigilant upon seeing wtwo.
It sensed psychic power from this humanoid far exceeding its own.
Fortunately, this being didn’t seem to harbor any ill intent.
It also appeared to be on good terms with Hayashi Kaede.
"Mmm..."
wtwo secretly swallowed, though its expression remained unchanged.
Hayashi Kaede led the way, picking vegetables while making conversation. "So, what have you been up to all this ti?"
"Went to Johto, and also visited the Kalos region" wtwo replied "honestly."
"Planning to return to Kanto after this?"
"Yes," wtwo fell silent for a mont. "I plan to host a ga there, inviting human Trainers to participate. To test an idea I have."
Hayashi Kaede joked, "Ahaha? Can I join?"
To be honest, he was quite interested in seeing so of this world’s main characters.
Like Ash Ketchum.
"..." wtwo fell silent.
"Haha, just kidding. Don’t take it so seriously. I can’t just abandon all these Pokémon to go play so ga with you."
Hayashi Kaede stored the picked vegetables in a storage ball, stood up, and patted wtwo’s shoulder. He was about to head back to the Breeding House when he heard Serperior’s voice.
It had slithered up behind him at so point and tapped his shoulder with its tail.
"Shoo shoo..." (Look at this.)
Hayashi Kaede followed it to the spot it indicated and soon saw several stalks of large red leeks.
"Whoa, nice. With the increased luck, there really are a lot more mutated plants now."
Exclaiming in admiration, Hayashi Kaede inspected the red leeks.
[Flavorful leeks— Can be added to other food dishes to elevate the taste and rating of the ingredient by one grade. Can also be used as a weapon for certain Pokémon. If used as a weapon, it has special effects.]
’Enhances flavor, and can be used as a weapon?’
Hayashi Kaede was montarily stunned upon reading the description.
Used as a weapon?
Which Pokémon would use a leek as a weapon?
That would be Farfetch’d, right?
A Farfetch’d wielding a red leek?
The image made Hayashi Kaede want to laugh for so reason.
Without hesitation, he pulled out one of the red leeks.
He didn’t have a Farfetch’d, so he wouldn’t be using it as a weapon.
Better to use it for enhancing flavor.
"Alright, looks like you ca at just the right ti," Hayashi Kaede said, storing the leeks and turning to wtwo.
"..."
wtwo still didn’t quite understand what was happening. This plantation seed completely different from the last ti it visited.
It felt unfamiliar with this place, so it didn’t dare wander off, simply following behind Hayashi Kaede.
Just then,
Rotom flew over from the direction of the Breeding House. "Rotom, Rotom~ Master, there’s a ssage. It seems to have been sent by the League to all citizens of Haikou City and the surrounding areas. Do you want to see it?"
"Sent by the League?"
Hearing Rotom’s words, Hayashi Kaede imdiately thought of the news report from this morning.
He wondered if Darkrai, unable to find its target, was trying to use human forces to locate his Gardevoir?
"Let see." Hayashi Kaede motioned for Rotom to co closer.
