Pokémon: Dreams Come True Starting in Sinnoh

Chapter 293 The Curtain Falls, The Trip to Water Vein City

The Galaxy's operation came and went in a hurry.

Aside from the chaotic scene and the subsequent television reports, most people were unaware that Team Galactic had joined forces with the Hunter Organization to carry out this operation to steal the Diamond Jewel and the White Jewel.

Team Galactic's actions this time were effective. As expected, the League has raised the priority of protecting the Diamond Orb and the White Orb. It seems that the higher-ups believe that the three Lake Pokémon are just a pretext to transfer them away.

After all, compared to the three ethereal Pokémon in the lake, the unearthed Diamond Jewel and White Jewel are more important.

At least most of the higher-ups thought so, and even though Cynthia wanted to refute it, she couldn't come up with any stronger evidence.

As for Ash and the League, it can't be said that they gained nothing.

The alliance gained fame. Although in the end they still failed to capture any high-ranking officials, the capture of more than a hundred people from the two organizations raised the Sinnoh Alliance's status in the eyes of the world to a new level.

Ash also spread the news that Sun might be the leader of Team Galactic.

If it were just him saying this, it might not be very convincing, but later Xiao Guang and Xiao Gang also came to testify that after they went out, Chi Ri reassured them that Huo Xing and Sui Xing had been escorted away by the Alliance and that they didn't need to continue following.

Xiao Guang and Xiao Gang weren't the only ones who were fooled like this.

Even the Four Heavenly Kings are the same.

When A-Liu arrived at the scene, Chi-Ri easily tricked her away with the excuse that "there are already enough people here."

Da Ye and Wu Song, who were supposed to arrive at the site an hour before the opening to provide assistance, were also transferred away by the request issued by Akari within the alliance.

By using the smoke bomb as a cover, Chi Ri only managed to avoid being exposed in person. When the alliance discussed the matter afterward, they immediately identified Chi Ri as the suspect.

Unfortunately, even though the alliance did not issue a bounty to avoid alerting the enemy, Chi Ri seemed to have anticipated this, and disappeared from everyone's sight after the operation, vanishing without a trace.

......

"Ah... I never expected that the number one philanthropist in the Sinnoh region was actually the mastermind behind Team Galactic. No wonder he seemed so strange that day."

On the airship heading to Watervein City, the television hanging on the wall was broadcasting the latest news. After today's news finished, Hikaru couldn't help but sigh.

The most discussed item was undoubtedly the bounty notice for Chi Ri.

After confirming that Crimson Sun would not reappear, the Alliance waited for about a week before finally announcing the bounty for Crimson Sun.

He was originally the biggest philanthropist in the Sinnoh region, but it turns out he was also the leader of the biggest villainous organization in the Sinnoh region.

This stark contrast left the people of Sinnoh somewhat incredulous.

However, faced with the facts that are already out in the open, no matter how uncomfortable people feel, they can only choose to accept them and attribute everything to Akari's ability to disguise himself.

"Is the philanthropist actually a bad guy? This kind of plot is not uncommon."

After all, Xiaogang was a gym leader in the Kanto region. In the past investigations of villainous organizations in the Kanto region, a large number of the leaders of these organizations used the identity of a philanthropist as a disguise.

After all, who would believe that someone who donates money every day and is dedicated to charity would also be running a villainous organization?

"Hmm... really? I could accept such a plot if it appeared on TV."

Xiao Guang tilted his head, still somewhat unable to understand.

But then I thought about it again, and none of that mattered anymore. What mattered most was...

"Hehe~"

Xiao Guang picked up the gift box displaying his ribbon medals from the table, examined the four ribbon medals lying inside, and started grinning foolishly.

With only one final battle left before participating in the grand celebration, even Hikari hadn't expected that despite not being fully prepared for the God and Grand Contest, she would win so easily once the contest began.

Whether it was the first round of review or the second round of battle, Xiaoguang won with an overwhelming advantage.

Although the Gods Tournament was postponed for two days due to the Galactic Team's riot, causing some contestants whose schedules didn't match to have to leave in a hurry, it is still a fact that Hikaru achieved the final victory.

After this grand gathering of gods, Hikaru was naturally selected as the dark horse contender for this year's magnificent grand celebration.

In the newspapers and magazines featuring the Grand Contest, almost all the well-known commentators placed Hikari and Nozomi on the same level.

"Don't be careless."

Seeing that Xiaoguang's smile hadn't stopped since he boarded the airship, Xiaozhi finally couldn't help but remind him, "Although we're only one step away from the grand festival, that last step might not be easy. We still need to stay vigilant and humble."

"Pi~"

Pikachu nodded in agreement, deeply understanding the sentiment.

"No problem, no problem!"

Despite Ash's reminder, Dawn didn't seem too worried.

If this weren't real life, Xiaoguang's nose would definitely be flying high by now.

"I'll definitely win the next Grand Contest too! Don't worry!"

For newcomers, things are almost always going smoothly after the very beginning, so it's understandable that they might feel complacent.

Ash went through a similar period, but in the end, he was severely punished by that Elite Four member.

Forget it.

Seeing how happy Xiaoguang was, Xiaozhi gave up on reminding her any further.

As long as she's happy.

I just hope I don't fall too hard next time.

Time passed quietly in this harmonious atmosphere, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, the airship's broadcast finally came on.

"Dear passengers, we are about to arrive at Watervein City. Please be seated and hold on tight to the handrails. Our airship journey is about to reach its final destination—"

Water Vein City.

Xiao Zhi chose a seat by the window and sat down.

Looking down at the floating city made up of various islands, Ash's eyes sparkled with a mixture of tension and anticipation.

This trip to Watervein City was arguably one of the trips he was most looking forward to.

Of course, it's not because the structure of Canal City is somewhat similar to that of the Alola region.

It's not because he has a rival he really wants to fight in the Watervein City area.
