Outside Ripple Town, within an ancient castle.
Caitlin and Nastina had already changed into their Battle Uniforms and were fuming mad, searching for the thief who had stolen the Tablet.
Caitlin: ┴┴︵╰(`□′)╯︵┴┴
Nastina: (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
Amidst the "boom boom boom" sounds, the castle's butler Shi Lan and the host of servants were scared out of their wits.
Could it be that the two superpowered girls had gone berserk again?
When Caitlin had a tantrum as a child, she single-handedly demolished a castle.
If she went berserk now, even the nearby towns might not be spared.
Before the others in the castle could even react, they saw Caitlin and Nastina's Pokemons swiftly flying out of the castle, rushing outside to search for the thief.
"Miss, what happened?"
In the hall, Shi Lan held a communicator, anxiously asking.
"Shi Lan, go quickly and lock down Ripple Town. The Tablet... the Tablet has been stolen, the thief probably hasn't gone far," Caitlin said, annoyed.
Without using the communicator, Caitlin's Mind Induction instantly appeared in Shi Lan's mind.
After Caitlin finished speaking, Shi Lan stood there with a blank expression.
Wait, hang on? The Tablet was stolen?
How could that be! Weren't the two of you watching over it the whole time?
"That was a Spacial Wave just now; the thief used some kind of Spacial Moves to take the Tablet… but now I can't sense any trace of them," Nastina said with a not so pleasant tone.
Was it a Wild elf? Or a Pokemon ordered by someone? And the thief spoke just now, right?
"I…I know!" Caitlin's eyes reddened, she gritted her teeth in anger, upset with herself for spacing out earlier.
The nerve… How could they just take it without saying anything!
In the blink of an eye, the thief didn't leave any trace, Caitlin was almost in tears; after all, this was a Legendary Tool, she hoped against hope that she wouldn't find out who it was because if she did! If she did!
...…
All of Caitlin and Nastina's Pokemons went outside to investigate while Caitlin herself was not willing to give up on the spot where the hoop had appeared, hoping to find some new detail.
"Just now, the person called themselves Hoopa, right?"
"Is that the name of a Pokemon?"
Caitlin always felt like she had heard that name somewhere before.
Nastina didn't go outside either; she looked at Caitlin, who was acting like a little child, and shook her head, "I've never heard of it, and besides, searching like this, I don't think it's going to be of any use."
Caitlin clenched her fists: "Then what should we do..."
"Future Sight," said Nastina. "You assist me, and I'll use Future Sight to foresee the location of the Tablet."
In terms of Superpower strength, Caitlin was stronger than Nastina, but when it came to Superpower Techniques, Nastina was undoubtedly stronger because she had come into contact with the Tablet. At this moment, Nastina was confident that with Caitlin's assistance, she could foresee the location of the Tablet.
"Okay…" Caitlin was momentarily taken aback; indeed, it was a good idea. She looked at Nastina with anticipation, and Nastina, after taking a deep breath, also began to close her eyes.
Caitlin immediately drew near and placed her hands upon Nastina's shoulders, as if embracing the latter from behind.
Using Future Sight to foresee things unrelated to oneself—people, things, happenings—was extremely difficult. However, it would be much easier and more accurate to foresee something closely related to oneself.
Now, as Nastina set out to foresee the position of the Tablet she had been in contact with for two months, it wasn't a hopeless endeavor.
A moment later.
Caitlin and Nastina both entered a meditative state, their vision filled with emptiness as if traversing time and space to see scenes of the future.
In the end, they saw two visions: an island and a person.
[An island shrouded in fog.][A Trainer in a Red and White Battle Suit.]
The visions faded away.
Caitlin and Nastina opened their eyes in silence.
"That island, isn't that the 'Supernatural Relics' we went to before our gathering?" Caitlin shouted after the silence, as bad memories rushed back to her.
The Monferno that knocked her out in one punch, the infuriating Fusion of steel contraptions, and that Darkrai that loved to give people Nightmares…
"And… that person…" She looked at Nastina. Besides the island, there was also a person in the vision, and Caitlin remembered him; wasn't that one of Nastina's old lackeys and also that nobody from the Relic Conquer Team?
Oh wait, not a nobody. The person seemed to be a formidable Trainer too. Although she did not watch the battle herself, Shi Lan had mentioned before that the battle between Fang Yuan and Lt. Surge was spectacular.
Nastina: "...I think, maybe, my prediction was wrong."
How could the Tablet be related to Fang Yuan? Impossible!
...
Fanba City.
Fang Yuan had already arrived here.
Searching for the Tablet while on the move had cost him quite some time.
In the end, Hoopa actually managed to snatch it...
Fang Yuan shook his head, thinking about the mess this had become… It seemed the only thing left was the championship battle.
Today was the day of his battle with Lian Wu.
Since he was in a hurry, he had Olive arrange the battle as soon as possible, and it seemed the other party was also eager, so the battle was set up immediately.
Now, Fang Yuan could directly go to the championship facilities to wait, grabbing some free food and drinks on the go. At this level of Top 100, even if one isn't part of the Four Heavenly Kings, they are still King Level Trainers, and the organizers generally provide food and accommodations.
After giving it some thought, Fang Yuan headed straight to the battle facilities; after all, it was just a few hours away.
But before he could reach his destination, his phone suddenly rang.
