Lusamine sensitively detected the key point.
Never underestimate the intuition of a strong woman.
To speak honestly.
If an eighteenth type truly emerged, the influence on the League and the entire Pokémon Realm would be enough for an outstanding researcher to become a Doctor.
The main point is still Natsuhiko's age.
Not yet twenty.
It's indeed a bit exaggerated.
"My teacher asked me to try it." Natsuhiko said directly.
"I understand."
Lusamine didn't say more unnecessary words.
If Natsuhiko becomes a Doctor, the likelihood of him joining the Ethereum Foundation would become very low.
But Lusamine has a long-term vision.
Having Gladio and Lillie become Natsuhiko's students was also her arrangement, aligning with both children's wishes.
Natsuhiko becoming a Doctor has far more benefits than drawbacks for the Ethereum Foundation.
She must also utilize the influence of the Ethereum Foundation.
Put away the phone.
Just from this one morning, it's clear how much impact Natsuhiko's paper has brought.
Whether it's supportive or opposing.
...
...
Manaro Arena.
Regardless of the impact Natsuhiko's paper brought, the tournament must continue.
From today, it is the Round of 32.
The rules have changed.
It has become a 6v6 full battle.
This presents a brand new challenge for Trainers in tactical planning, command, and various abilities.
Honestly speaking, Natsuhiko seems to have never seriously engaged in a 6v6 full battle until now.
Shaking off Da Ye and a few others, and exchanging a few polite words with acquaintances without dwelling too much on the paper, he sat down at his contestant seat.
However, Natsuhiko could still feel many gazes intentionally or unintentionally sweeping over him.
Natsuhiko didn't mind.
Listening to the host's usual enthusiastic opening, looking at the thirty-two avatars listed on the screen.
Under computer control, these avatars were shuffled.
But Natsuhiko almost knew all of these remaining people, who would certainly be key figures in their respective regions in the future.
No matter who they encounter, it won't be an easy battle.
Very soon.
The battle list was arranged.
Natsuhiko also saw his opponent.
Shimi.
A famous chef from the Kalos Region.
Also an outstanding Trainer proficient in Water-type Pokémon.
A future member of Kalos Region's Elite Four.
Natsuhiko discovered that in the future, Kalos Region's Elite Four were indeed just part-time jobs for them.
Shimi is mainly a chef, part-time Elite Four, Wikstrom mainly a knight, part-time Elite Four, Pachira mainly an undercover agent, part-time Elite Four, Drasna mainly a shaman, part-time Elite Four.
True, everyone is part-time Elite Four!
Even Champion Karin is the same.
Mainly an actor, part-time Champion.
It's just absurd.
In this Round of 32, someone among Natsuhiko and his group finally encountered the King of Islands from the Alola Region.
The first match today, Lance's opponent is the King of the Melemele Island, Fighting Type master Hala.
Compared to yesterday, the intensity of the match has suddenly increased.
Hilona's opponent is Yishu from Johto, Flint's opponent is Pachira from the Kalos Region, and Kona's opponent is Furong from the Hoenn Region.
Just looking at these names, you can feel that no match will be easy.
Each has some chance of failure.
Nonetheless, the person who should feel the most pressure, Lance, is the most excited.
Clenching his fist.
The opportunity to face off against the veteran King of the Alola Region, Hala, makes him very excited.
Although the opponent cannot use Elite Trainer Level Pokémon, Lance is already quite satisfied.
Watching Lance toss his cape and confidently walk towards the player's tunnel.
Kona couldn't help but ask, "Senior Natsuhiko, do you think Lance has a chance?"
Natsuhiko rubbed his chin, "About seventy to eighty percent."
"Hmm? That high?" Hilona showed a bit of surprise, "You wouldn't say it's because his Pokémon are Flying Type, which restrains Fighting-type Pokémon, are you?"
Natsuhiko was speechless.
Although he always teases Lance, he has never underestimated him.
"Yes, but that's not all," Natsuhiko couldn't help but chuckle, "Because, do you know who has battled him the most?"
"Who?" Flint rubbed his ring.
"Sheba," Natsuhiko said.
Upon hearing this.
Everyone suddenly understood.
That explains it.
Sheba is also very skilled with Fighting-type Pokémon.
Lance has battled Sheba many times and should have enough experience in battling Fighting-type Pokémon.
This is Lance's greatest asset when facing Hala.
Because no matter how the tactics change, Fighting Type Trainers rely on the excellent fighting techniques of their Pokémon, which is an immutable principle.
Today's battle stage is just one.
So the matches will be conducted under the watchful eyes of all the audience.
Amid cheers, the match began.
