Not Being a Trainer This Time
Chapter 830 - 423: Unknown Moves, Cynthia’s Visit (Part 2)
Unexpectedly, this time Alcremie actually used this move...
Naoki was equally taken aback by it.
Meanwhile, in a place unnoticed by anyone, a light orb fell into the lake at the ranch and entered the Reversed World through the portal opened by Giratina.
Giratina, who was listening to Rotom read comments with its eyes closed, suddenly sensed the presence of Arceus.
It jolted awake, opened its eyes, and its scarlet eyes locked onto the sky.
In the next moment, its enormous body surged out through the lake surface like a mirror.
Just as Professor Oak recovered from his shock and was about to announce Clefairy’s defeat, ending the battle, his gaze caught the terrifying figure that burst from the lake.
Professor Oak: "!!!"
That majestic stature, those blood-red eyes, and that cold, ruthless expression — that Pokémon...
It’s the legendary Giratina!
Professor Oak instantly recognized Giratina because he had seen its selfie on the Pokemon Forum.
"Oh my..." Professor Oak took a deep breath, never imagining Giratina would appear here.
No! He should have realized it earlier!
Professor Oak suddenly noticed something.
Giratina claimed to be friends with Calyrex, and the reason Calyrex uses a Rotom Phone is because Naoki taught him.
Similarly, we can deduce that Giratina, who also uses a Rotom Phone to go online, is Naoki’s Pokemon!
Not only Professor Oak, but Lulu was also stunned by the sudden appearance of the Pokémon.
Giratina was vigilantly looking around.
It emerged because it sensed the aura of Arceus, but now... where is Arceus?
Giratina’s gaze swept over several humans, finally stopping on Naoki.
Naoki couldn’t help but sweat a bit.
He didn’t expect Alcremie’s Judgment to surprise Giratina.
Giratina must have thought Arceus descended earlier, right?
Not finding any trace of Arceus, Giratina realized it made a mistake.
It glanced at the humans below and then turned to dive back into the lake.
Professor Oak and Lulu were shocked as they gazed in that direction.
After a long time, he finally asked, "Was that Pokémon just now Giratina?"
Naoki: "...Yes."
"That is truly incredible!" Professor Oak looked at Naoki, murmuring.
First Calyrex, then Giratina, and capturing so many Dragonite and rare Pokémon... this Trainer is really impressive!
Noticing the look in Professor Oak’s eyes, Naoki helplessly explained, "No, that Giratina is not my Pokémon; we are just friends."
With that, Naoki waved his hand towards the distance.
Elder Indeedee brought over a bottle of Life Sheep Milk to feed Clefairy.
Soon, Clefairy opened its eyes.
"Unfortunately, you didn’t pass Alcremie’s Metronome Trial." Naoki shifted the topic to the Trial. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Lulu finally recovered, recalling the extraordinary move Alcremie used earlier, and asked, "Mr. Naoki, what was that move just now?"
"That, huh? Honestly, I’m not too sure." Naoki said, "There are many Pokémon and moves in this world that humans have yet to discover. Perhaps that move belongs to one of those undiscovered Pokémon?"
"I see?" Lulu murmured, "I understand now!"
Lulu looked deeply at Naoki.
Indeed, as the school forum said, Mr. Naoki is a Trainer with unfathomable strength!
Not only did he raise so many champion Pokémon, but he also became friends with the legendary Pokémon Giratina.
Even the top Champion might not be his match!
At this moment, Lulu wholeheartedly agreed with the forum calling Naoki the Hidden Boss of the Paldea Region.

In the afternoon, Lulu left the ranch.
Before leaving, she said she would come over again to challenge the formal Trial once she collected six badges.
Watching her figure gradually fade away, Naoki turned around, intending to return to the ranch to repair the grasslands damaged by Alcremie’s Judgment, when suddenly a familiar voice sounded from behind.
"Excuse me, is this Naoki Ranch?"
Naoki and Professor Oak turned around to see a tall woman with long golden hair, dressed in a black coat, smiling from not far away.
Seeing the newcomer, Naoki and Professor Oak were slightly startled.
Professor Oak was the first to react: "Miss Cynthia? Why are you here too?"
Cynthia’s tone was gentle as she greeted Professor Oak, "Long time no see, Professor Oak. I came over this time because there are some matters I want to consult with this Trainer."
Saying this, Cynthia’s gaze turned to Naoki, her attitude warm and approachable, completely devoid of a superior air.
Naoki: "..."
No need to say, he already guessed Cynthia’s purpose for visiting the ranch.
Presumably, the incident of Giratina following the online signal to the Sinnoh Region had been thoroughly investigated by her.
Including his appearance that stopped Giratina’s actions.
And Cynthia’s visit this time is surely to learn more about Giratina.
Naoki looked up and found Cynthia and Professor Oak looking at him.
