Natalie also came over and extended a helping hand, which was unexpected for Fang Yuan.
"Turns out she's a kind-hearted old lady."
Fang Yuan muttered to himself, glad he hadn't directly ordered Luo Kuo to take her out.
Though... Luo Kuo probably wouldn't have taken her out anyway.
Before coming, Luo Kuo had already stated that he would only ensure Fang Yuan's safety, not act as Fang Yuan's enforcer, which quashed any thoughts Fang Yuan had of Luo Kuo being an unstoppable force against gods and Buddhas.
"Roar!!"
Elsewhere.
After being ganged up on by the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster and the Raven Boss, the Fossil Pterosaur became angry, and also scared.
After sustaining injuries, it issued a fierce threat and then turned and flew off, doubling its speed.
If you can't beat them... naturally, you have to run.
The Self-detonating Magnetic Monster and the Raven Boss chose not to pursue.
...
Having driven off the Fossil Pterosaur, Fang Yuan looked towards Yoko Suzuki and asked, "It was you who provoked it first, wasn't it?"
Fang Yuan's question made Yoko Suzuki's face turn slightly red with embarrassment, as she said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was indeed my fault."
The Wild Elves Fang Yuan had encountered along the way were all very mild and did not attack them actively; this strange phenomenon was unlikely to be a coincidence.
The only possibility was that Emuritto had tampered with Eevee.
This Yoko Suzuki, she must have also been teleported here, so there was no reason for her to be attacked by Wild Elves.
Yoko Suzuki's response confirmed Fang Yuan's guess, indeed...
Fang Yuan didn't ask how she had provoked the Fossil Pterosaur, but with the aura bestowed by a Legendary Pokémon and still being hunted by Wild Elves, it could only mean that this heiress of the Suzuki Group was truly naïve.
It wasn't long before Natalie, the Professional Trainer from Israel, arrived on the scene.
Her expression was calm, and she didn't pull out her gun this time. Although she remained vigilant, she seemed to no longer regard Fang Yuan as a Trainer who posed a significant threat.
The Raven Boss landed beside her, which drew Yoko Suzuki's attention, and turning her head, Yoko Suzuki once again expressed her gratitude to Natalie.
"Neither of you are over twenty years old, are you?" Natalie said to Fang Yuan and Yoko Suzuki.
She herself was nearly thirty, and Fang Yuan and Yoko Suzuki were clearly a generation younger than her.
"Yes... Yes, I came here with my family to capture Pokémon, but then I was suddenly teleported here," explained Yoko Suzuki.
Coming to Champion Mountain with her corporation's bodyguards to capture Pokémon, she had encountered Emuritto... Yoko Suzuki did not disclose the incident with Emuritto.
However, as soon as she mentioned "teleportation", Fang Yuan and Natalie essentially understood everything; everyone had shared the same experience. Who are you trying to fool?
"As I thought... the Miss of the Suzuki Group is really naïve," Fang Yuan thought.
She was around the same age as him but lacked his wit.
Now, after hearing Yoko Suzuki's account, Natalie was formulating a new hypothesis about Fang Yuan's identity.
Fang Yuan was most likely another Trainer who had been teleported here.
Natalie fell silent for a moment, and during her pause, Yoko Suzuki began to bring up her identity again, hoping that Fang Yuan and Natalie would escort her from this place.
"The Suzuki Group?"
This identity of the heiress of the Suzuki Group indeed made Natalie pause momentarily.
"The Suzuki Group that developed the Trait Capsules??"
Natalie was more aware of the formidable status of the Suzuki Group than Fang Yuan, especially after their research institute developed the Trait Capsules... the rise of the Suzuki Group had become unstoppable.
Trait Capsules, the name says it all.
They change Pokemon's traits.
For instance, an Arbok that possesses the Intimidate Characteristic could use a Trait Capsule to change its trait to Shed Skin Characteristic.
Of course, this change comes with a condition, the trait before and after the change must both be ones that the Arbok species can inherently possess.
This invention, without a doubt, has epoch-making significance.
Although, according to the Suzuki Group, there are still many limitations in the Trait Capsule for switching traits at present, some special traits cannot be switched, but whoever it is, they all see the bright prospects of the Trait Capsule.
The Suzuki Group, which has monopolized this technology, appears insurmountably colossal in Natalie's eyes.
And now... the heiress of the Suzuki Group has fallen into her hands?
Off to the side, Youzi was gazing eagerly at Fang Yuan and Natalie.
Yoko Suzuki was tired at heart; her bodyguard team was absolutely luxurious, including a Ghost Type Master. But now that she had been mysteriously transported here, even they would not be able to find her, right?
Now, all she hoped was that her identity could allow her to cling to Fang Yuan and Natalie's coattails. Even if they kidnapped her to ask her father for ransom, it would be okay, as long as they could get her out of this dreadful place, any method would be fine.
The young lady had been scared out of her wits by the Fossil Pterosaur and had given up on all treatments.
...
Fang Yuan and Natalie, because of their joint effort in saving Yoko Suzuki, had tentatively reached a consensus to protect, within their capabilities, the safety of this self-proclaimed Suzuki Group heiress until she could be safely escorted out.
Finding a Legendary Pokémon doesn't necessarily bring benefits, after all, they only play hide and seek with you. But bringing this lady back would no doubt bring a clear and arranged reward.
Fang Yuan was currently very tempted by the Trait Capsules, these capsules, which one couldn't even buy now, were in very short supply due to an inability to mass-produce them.
If, after Miss Suzuki returned, she could procure a Trait Capsule for him, that would be truly delightful.
In the game, Trait Capsules have major restrictions, unable to change a Pokemon's trait from a common one to a hidden or special trait, or vice versa.
But these Trait Capsules developed by the Suzuki Group might have more restrictions, or perhaps they were more advanced than those in the game, Fang Yuan didn't know.
But no matter what, for a Trainer, this kind of capsule capable of changing traits would be useful sooner or later.
"James, you're also from the island nation? You shouldn't be, after all, your Japanese is terrible."
Yoko Suzuki now had a good impression of Fang Yuan, who saved her. Even though he wasn't very handsome, he was about her age, and his strength was formidable...
If only she could... Yoko Suzuki's heart was pounding.
If only she could get him to be her bodyguard. Such a Trainer definitely had great potential.
"I..." Fang Yuan didn't know how to answer. Why did he owe it to himself to show off in front of Natalie, reciting Rocket Team's lines and cosplaying James?
Now his identity was difficult to explain. With his mysterious origins, when Yoko Suzuki wanted to send him a token of gratitude, he wouldn't be able to accept it.
Fang Yuan was troubled.
Before nightfall, the trio arrived at the nearest lake, and without actively provoking any Wild elves, they smoothly made their way.
Although they intended to escort Yoko Suzuki out, they still had an important matter at hand: to find Emuritto.
Since Emuritto was able to transport them here, it certainly could also safely transport them back.
That would be the quickest way to leave.
"There seems to be an island in the center of the lake..."
The lake was large, but Fang Yuan and his companions could still see at a glance that a small island existed in the center of the lake.
Back and forth.
Two other female Trainers, one with wheat-colored skin and another with delicate features, who had been transported nearby, also arrived nearby. Everyone, as if by unspoken agreement, thought that Emuritto was hiding here.
