Chapter 963: Illusion
They had to leave. There were too many people in this place, including the elderly, couples, and lovers. There were not many Pokémon to be seen. After all, most wild Pokémon, except for those that were born with good personalities and liked to be close to people, would hide from humans if possible. Although these Pokémon would not mind letting humans hide if there was only one person, so many people were a deterrent in themselves, not to mention that some people had released their Pokémon, so the wild Pokémon would run away if possible, and they were basically impossible to find. Heath also knew that it was difficult to find what he was looking for here, so after reporting to the alliance staff, signing the agreement, and receiving a positioning device, Heath left the safe area.
The Alliance was well prepared. It was not impossible to leave the safe area, but one needed to sign a life and death agreement and then wear a positioning device. This was not necessary in Viridian City, after all, the mortality rate was not very high. However, many people died in Meteor Falls, so the Alliance had given many warnings, but it could not stop others' desire to explore, so they did this. Heath didn't care about it, as he was quite confident in his own strength. What's more, Mew was there too, so it was basically impossible for anything to happen to him. There was no Pokémon in the Hoenn region that was stronger than his own.
After leaving the safe area, Heath also saw a lot of unique scenery. Those peculiarly shaped stones made Heath couldn't help but look at them a few more times. There were also crystals here. Heath also picked up a crystal that looked like Groudon, which was quite interesting. However, as he walked, Heath found that he seemed to have walked into an unfamiliar place. This was a dead end, so he could only turn around and go back. However, Heath was not very scared because he had special equipment to leave the cave and would not get lost.
However, Heath soon discovered that there seemed to be another person in front of him, squatting there, holding a flashlight in his hand and doing something unknown. Heath looked at the other person's back with some curiosity. The shape of the hair reminded Heath of a person, a person who theoretically could not appear here, but actually it was normal for him to appear here, that was the champion of the Hoenn region, Daigo.
Daigo can be considered a relatively unique champion among the Pokémon League champions. Although some other champions are lazy or act as idols, most of them are still very competent. Only Daigo is an exception. He prefers to go to caves in various places to find those magical stones and add some novel collections to his collection. Therefore, Daigo often runs around. However, there are matters in the league that need to be handled by the champions. Therefore, Daigo, who seems to be doing things calmly on the surface, has actually begun to think about resigning in his heart.
He resigned from the position of champion and handed it over to someone else. Even if it is not unique in the development history of the League, it can be said that there is no precedent. After all, this is the champion. It can be said that with this position, it is easy to be famous and achieve financial freedom. Shirona once told him that a large company in the Sinnoh region wanted to invite Shirona to be an advertising spokesperson, and the endorsement fee was directly set at more than 300 million League coins.
The alliance will just collect taxes and won’t be involved in anything else. Even if they collect taxes, it will be a lot of money, more than an ordinary person can earn in their entire lifetime.
But Daigo is different. He doesn't need it. He is the heir of Devon Company and will hold great power in the future. Money is just a number. That's why Daigo doesn't care about the position of champion. If it were Heath, Heath would probably be reluctant to give it up. Being a champion means power and wealth. For example, doesn't a certain countryman care about fans? It can be said that a champion is the biggest star in that region. All the traffic stars in the Sinnoh region cannot compare to the champion Sirona who suddenly appeared.
"Mr. Daigo?" Heath called out tentatively , and the other person turned his head. It was indeed Daigo. His face was very recognizable. Of course, the most important thing was that the Pokémon Metagross beside him was very recognizable. Heath recognized the other person at once. After all, there was probably no one else except Daigo who liked to dig for treasure in caves and brought Metagross with him.
"Hello." Daigo simply responded, then turned around and planned to continue digging stones. It is not a strange thing for Daigo to be met by fans in the caves these days. After all, Daigo's personality is like this, and his favorite thing is to dig stones. Now everyone knows that if you go to some caves, you are likely to meet Champion Daigo, and some people will come to ask for a photo or something, so Daigo is not surprised. Heath's thoughts are more ordinary. He was just curious whether he had met Daigo. Now that it has been confirmed, Heath has no interest in joining in the fun and chatting.
It’s just the champion. Heath even kissed the champion’s little mouth.
So Heath did not disturb Daigo from digging stones, but changed his route to leave. But when he was about to leave, Heath heard a strange sound, like someone singing, and like someone talking, but he could not understand what the other person was saying. This reminded Heath of the urban legend he had seen before, and Heath became excited instantly. Could it be that he was so lucky? He could even encounter a legend?
Heath looked at Daigo. Mr. Daigo had obviously heard the voice and turned his head to look at him. But then Heath found something wrong. Why did Daigo twist his neck 180 degrees? A normal person would have died long ago.
"Oh, an illusion." Heath became interested. He was not afraid at all. Instead, he touched his Poké Ball. Sure enough, there was no reaction inside. When did this start? When did he fall into this illusion?
But even if it is an illusion...
Heath touched his pocket and took out his food identifier. Even if it was an illusion, he couldn't fight against the power of the system. Heath had just taken out the food identifier when his eyes blurred. The next second, Heath found himself standing at the entrance of a cave, and next to him was the anxious Lao Pen. A dreamy and angry voice came from inside, and it seemed like he was hitting something.
"So what's inside?" Heath touched his chin and walked in.
