Poipole didn't really have much of a choice. The things he carries with him don't allow him to do what he wants.
He had no choice but to join Rope's team in order to keep Kaedenatsu from getting angry or embarrassed.
If Rope really chooses to give up on him. If Rope chooses to give up on him, then it's really Kaedenatsu who's in trouble.
So he looks at Rope. and says seriously, "Poi, poi!"
Rotom translates, "I'll join your team, but I hope that you'll be able to give some help to sister Kaedenatsu. Loto!"
Rope nodded, "No problem, but I'll help Kaedenatsu even if you don't join my team."
After all, Kaedenatsu trusted him so much, and that trust was heavy enough in itself. There was no need for any other act to emphasize the relationship between the two.
Rope is such a person that if you treat him sincerely, he will always treat you seriously no matter how many times you have met. That's one of Rope's principles.
Poipole was noncommittal. He didn't have the ability to read minds to see what the man was really thinking. But thought if Ms. Kaedenatsu trusted him so much, then this person must be an okay one.
"Poi!"
"In that case, it's fine! Loto!"
Rope nodded in return before pulling the Pokéball out of his own pocket, and then knocked the black deluxe ball over Poipole's head, who turned into a red light and was collected into the Pokéball. The ball wobbled for a moment, then returned to calm.
Rope had a faint smile on his face, "More to come, Poipole."
The ball in his hand wobbled as if in response to Rope, and after a moment here returned to calm.
"You let the little guy out first, he hasn't had his breakfast yet..."
Kaedenatsu said in a no-nonsense manner.
With that, he walked out with two plates.
Rope shrugged the tip of his nose and smelled fried rice.
"Is it egg fried rice?"
Rope asked.
"Yes, I got Chansey's 'eggs' two days ago and they taste pretty good. How about some?"
Kaedenatsu asked as he walked closer and placed two plates of egg fried rice on the table.
As the fried rice was placed on the table, the aroma became even stronger...
Rope touched his stomach and regretfully said, "I kind of wanted to eat it, but my stomach really can't fit it in."
It was not good to eat too much for breakfast. So even if it was delicious Rope wouldn't eat a lot at once.
"Fine, whatever."
Kaedenatsu doesn't care about such trivial matters. If Rope wants to eat, she will cook it. If she says she doesn't want to eat, then she won't eat. There is no need to be so evasive.
"Say, Kaedenatsu, is it true that you can't tell me anything about your identity?"
Rope didn't try to make things up with Kaedenatsu. If you're willing to answer, then you can say it, if you're not, then you can't say it.Kaedenatsu didn't even think of thinking of himself as a normal human being when Rope was reluctant to do so.
Otherwise, a high-level cultivator who can make a living in human society, how would Rope be able to see the cracks?
Rope himself had checked, Kaedenatsu's information after becoming a Breeder was exhaustive, and at first glance it was the normal League record method. And the information before that...
Saying that it was the mode of recording information when the League wasn't established Rope believed it... it was too sketchy...
It was clearly a fabrication.
"...Or not, you'll find out later. It's not that I won't tell you, but I'd like to have a good time for a while yet. Rather than face your questioning now I'd rather make it easier on myself.
Once you know these things, my identity will be known to you naturally and talk about it."
Kaedenatsu took a bite of his egg fried rice, then said.
At this moment, Poipole also popped out of Pokéball, then ate his bowl of egg fried rice and looked at Rope and Kaedenatsu. he still didn't know what Rope really meant to them now. If they were going to do it later. Even if he had to carry the title of a traitor he would definitely protect Kaedenatsu.
After all, Kaedenatsu had an extremely important meaning and status to him.
After all, Kaedenatsu has an extremely important meaning and status to him. He must also protect Kaedenatsu.
Rope looked at Kaedenatsu, who was eating egg fried rice with a calm demeanor, and for the first time, he felt that he was also being looked at.
He shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "Fine, whatever you say."
After saying that Rope also stopped talking.
While beside him, Rotom was doing all sorts of scanning and recording at Poipole's side.
Soon, this brand new Pokémon would be uploaded to Pokédex. However, it would not be publicized immediately, but rather, it would wait until the Oak family had determined the current basic situation of the Alola region before deciding on what kind of attitude to release the research about Poipole and the myths about the Alola region.
Two pieces of paper that would be enough to make a junior researcher a senior researcher were taken out so easily...
For some people, papers are meant to be held back. For others, papers are written on the fly.
Rope wrote it casually...
After all, his main job is considered a 'savior'!
Though he still didn't know where the dangers of this world were coming from.
Thinking of this, Rope glanced at Kaedenatsu and Poipole in front of him, and suddenly felt that he had some guesses...
But still, he didn't know what the source was...
Rope couldn't just kill everyone he suspected... that would be no different from the destruction of the world! What's the difference?
——————————
"Is this Poipole? The Pokémon from other worlds you speak of..."
Professor Oak said as he looked at the exasperated little guy in front of him with a magnifying glass.
On the other hand, all the people in Oak's institute had gathered. But there weren't many is all.
Aside from Crystal, who had been mentioned earlier, Professor Oak actually had two understudy assistants. Naturally, these assistants could not inherit the mantle. However, as long as they said that they had worked beside Professor Oak, this in itself was a talking point, and even more seniority...
It's good to enjoy the coolness under the big tree, and Professor Oak is the biggest tree in the research world.
"It doesn't look too different from the Pokémon in our world."
Blue said after observing Poipole on one side as well.
Red, on the other hand, was looking at Poipole from the side with a happy sight, and had the urge to go up to him and cross his arms...
Poipole was a bit hairy from his stare... or rather... it had already begun to be hairy the moment he saw Red... "To be precise...the world they're in counts as a world connected to us in its own right. And not an otherworldly dimension. It can only be described as an alien dimension."
Rope explained with relative rigor.
"Poison-type... is there an evolution?"
Professor Oak was rubbing his chin in the first half of the sentence, and then came right up to Poipole's eyes and asked in the second half.
Poipole was startled by Professor Oak and then glanced at Rope. He always felt that Rope knew about such things.
But Rope just looked straight at him like he was urging him to speak quickly...
Poipole gave Rope a big blank stare. Seriously, he had a feeling that this Rope guy was definitely hiding more secrets than him and Kaedenatsu.
"Poi poi!"
Poipole turned to Professor Oak.
"Poipole said that he comes in an evolved type called Naganadel, just learn Dragon Pulse then energy level up one level. Loto!"
Indeed it wasn't a difficult evolution condition. Professor Oak nodded. There were still quite a few Pokémon around who knew Dragon Pulse, and there were Technical Machines as well.
Professor Oak rubbed his chin as he thought.
"That said, Rope! Are you really not worried that someone will come after you in the future when the other world is connected to ours?"
Professor Oak turned his head and asked.
The others also looked at Rope. after all, this was no small matter. You know a mole a are something that people feel hated. , and the higher the rank the more hateful it is.
The only thing more hateful than a mole is a traitor...
Poipole looked at Rope, as if waiting for a response from Rope.
"Of course I'm not worried...what reason is there to suspect me? I myself exist to harmonize them."
Rope said so with a shrug.
Just kidding... The conflict between Alola and Ultra Beast might be the first conflict between legendary Pokémon and humans that he has to solve. Although Pokémon like Pheromosa are just exotic beasts, the conflicts between them and humans are basically left to Rope to solve...
"Doubt me? On the court, arguing with the referee is the stupidest thing to do."
A smug smile appeared on Rope's face. He was the referee...
"If you say so... it makes sense." Professor Oak thought for a moment then said, then he patted Rope's shoulder before saying, "Don't worry, grandpa will definitely be on your side!"
Saying that, he also winked rather mischievously.
Rope looked at Professor Oak who was in a playful mood and nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, I got it! Mr. Backer!"
And so the sound of laughter came out of the room.

"Say, Koga... are you sure you really don't know that guy?"
Lance asked from across the table from Koga.
"I really don't recognize him... I'm also puzzled... where did such a guy appear from..."
Koga's tone also carried a deep sense of helplessness... who knows which rock these Heavenly King level powerhouses that suddenly appeared popped up from! ...
There are still so many hidden experts in this world?
Lance frowned tightly and said after a moment, "Do you think it's possible that this person is the hidden power of those clans?"
Koga shook his head and said helplessly, "I don't think so... One Elite Four can't subvert the League, neither can a group of them... And one Elite Four is enough for a family to gain a lot of benefits in the League... You're also a son of the family, although you not often involved in the family's affairs, but you should have some knowledge of it..."
Lance 'tsked' and said rather unwillingly, "So these people can still be popping out of the cracks of a stone? "
"Don't worry too much...they shouldn't be able to hide their fox tails for much longer..."
Koga opened his mouth to comfort.
Lance talked for a breath, then said, "Shall we organize a counterattack...if even the Four Heavenly Kings have been attacked and we don't have much of a reaction... we're too weak."
"Er, do you have any information there about the Servants of God organization?"
Koga asked a rather deadly question.
Lance felt like he'd been shot in the chest.
No... why bother...
Why do you have to expose me like that...
"I really don't have much... why don't... we not retaliate?"
Lance asked tentatively.
Koga: ????
No... can it really be like that?
You're just going to give up so easily?
Is it League's problem or mine?????
"Er... Rope might have news on his end, after all, it was only after I got a message from him that I realized that Bite had come back to haunt me."
Koga spoke up.
Lance froze at first when he heard this and said with an odd look on his face, "Rope knows?"
"Emm, Rope seems to have been tracking down this organization. There seems to be quite a lot of information in her hands."
Koga said seriously.
"...Alright, I'll ask him."
With that, Koga took out his cell phone and dialed Rope's number.
"Beep~ Hey, Lance? what's it for?"
Rope's confused voice came out from the receiver.
"Let me ask you something, how much do you know about the Servants of God organization?"
Lance didn't drag his feet and said bluntly.
"Servants of God... I really do know quite a bit... what do you want to ask?"
Rope's voice remained confused.
"It's like this, wasn't Koga attacked a few days ago, over here we want to find a field and hit one of their strongholds, do you have any information on the strongholds?"
To be honest, when asking this, Lance didn't have much hope. After all, this kind of information wouldn't be anything to know about this organization.
And Rope's answer really wasn't out of Lance's expectation.
"Huh? Stronghold, I don't know..."
Rope's somewhat confused voice came out.
Lance also knew that he had lost his words, and also continued, "Then even if..."
"Wait a moment, I'll ask for you..."
"Up... What did you say???"
Lance was all confused as to what kind of stuff Rope was talking about.
Then Rope hung up.
Koga looked at a dumbfounded Lance with some confusion and asked, "What did Rope say?"
"He said... he went to ask..."
Lance still didn't react too well, and his whole body was still in a state of confusion.
The corners of Koga's mouth were also slightly twitching, thinking, "This thing can still go ask?
A moment later, Lance's phone rang. Lance picked it up and saw that it was Rope who was calling.
"Hello, Rope?"
"Lance, I asked you for a stronghold in the Johto region, listen up! You guys run it off of a guy named Tasae in Azalea Town and it will lead to a guy named Teppei. Then you'll uncover a stronghold in Goldenrod City, and Tasae in Azalea Town has been receiving large sums of money from an unknown source these days, so start with that. I don't need to teach you the rest."
Rope still said lazily. A look of not waking up.
"Well, there is no need to teach..."
Lance's entire body was still in a frozen state.
"Okay, it's fine then I'm hanging up, wah~ I'm sleeping for a while."
Lance then reacted, "No! You're waiting for a while? How did you know in such detail??"
"Told you... I asked..."
