Chapter 406: Three Beast Balls

"Brother Green, where are we going? Back to Pallet Town to raise pigs?" Gary asked weakly.
Those words nearly shattered the composure of the usually calm Green, who almost raised a hand to strike Gary down.
After a moment of thought, he slowly gave his answer.
"To the Johto Region. A place where I once trained."
Although he didn't know if this world would be different from his former digital one, Gary had already wandered all over the Kanto Region. It would be better to go to a new place and see more of the world.
In that place, Gary's willpower would be tempered anew.
"The Johto Region...?"
Gary wanted to say more, but Green cut him off, his attitude firm and unyielding.
"We leave tomorrow morning. This Indigo Plateau Conference has nothing to do with you anymore."
A loss was a loss, nothing to get hung up on. If he were to be defeated by someone in some aspect, he wouldn't dwell on it either.
Hmph, the Indigo Plateau Conference. It was just a gaming tournament for a bunch of fodder, nothing worthy of attention.
"Greeny, are you going to the Johto Region for fun? Want some company?"
Just then, a light, mature female voice forcefully interjected into their conversation. It was the voice of Blue (manga character). When the three of them were close, their Soul Space would also connect, so she had been secretly eavesdropping.
In fact, Blue had been quite down for the past few days. After all, she had the misfortune of being clean swept by the Masked Man in the first round, and her name was now forever recorded in the annals of history.
But now, seeing that Gary had also been taught a lesson, she was happy. Her misunderstanding with the Masked Man was cleared up, and she even felt like buying him a drink.
Grief for a fallen comrade? Not a chance.
"Masked Man, crush them for me!"
While watching the battle, Blue had actually wanted to shout this the whole time. But on second thought, they were from the same town, and Professor Oak and Delia were sitting right beside her, so she could only repeat it silently in her heart.
And since she was happy, Blue (manga character)'s mood was also quite cheerful.
Because Blue's little brain had completely forgotten the terrible incident of him standing her up. The two had once again become the closest of friends.
Now that the Indigo Plateau Conference was irrelevant to them, Blue had just been coasting and cutting down trees recently. A trip to the Johto Region sounded like a good idea.
"Hmph, women."
Hearing this, Green just snorted coldly, his stance clear as he flatly refused.
On the path to becoming the strongest, women were unnecessary. They would only become shackles.
"Ohoho~ Then the three of us will meet up tomorrow morning. I have a gift for both of you~"
In the Soul Space, Blue (manga character)'s eyes narrowed into slits. Looking sly, she glanced at Green sitting in his ergonomic chair, then to the other side, at the other person resting with his eyes closed in an old-fashioned Grand Master's Chair.
Red, naturally, was also eavesdropping.
"Hmph."
Green said nothing and directly exited the Soul Space. Gary, having finished his meal, had pulled Professor Oak aside to have a quiet word, explaining that he probably wouldn't be returning to Pallet Town and would instead head to a new place to take off again.
Professor Oak didn't object. Young people should go out and explore the world. But he paused, then said seriously, "Why don't you come with me to Saffron City first? I've already used my connections to get you an appointment with the best psychiatrist. Two years ago, this doctor was the primary physician for the Saffron Gym Leader—Sabrina."
Gary: "?"
The next day, early in the morning.
Ash, Blue, and Gary stood at the entrance of the Pokémon Center, the three parties facing each other.
Gary was already dressed and ready. His expression lacked some of its usual flamboyance. He wore simple clothes and a pair of Hiker's mountaineering boots. He carried only a backpack that resembled an ascetic's, holding it by a strap in his hand.
He was going to start over.
"Hey Ash, I'm going to the Johto Region to train for three months. I'll start challenging for the Silver Conference there. Hmph, I really hope I can be the one to knock you out this time," he said. This was both a taunt and the truth.
Green had already told him that this wouldn't be a simple few days of training, but a brutal four-month ordeal, and that he should be prepared.
"The Silver Conference?"
Ash was slightly stunned. This was unexpected.
The Silver Conference was similar in nature to the current Indigo Plateau Conference. You challenge eight Gyms to obtain eight badges, and then you challenge a regional tournament.
Next year's competition would officially begin in four months and last for a year. This was also Green's plan, as it would connect seamlessly with Gary's training.
"In that case, I'll go too, and I'll defeat you at the Silver Conference!"
Upon hearing this, Ash's eyes blazed with competitive fire. He had also longed for a proper duel with Gary under everyone's watchful eyes.
He had decided. In four months, he would also head to the Johto Region.
As for what to do in the intervening four months, he had no plans for now. Gary's mindset was a mess, so he was going for early treatment; there was no need for him to go so soon...
Meanwhile, in the Soul Space, the three top players were also facing off, the atmosphere heavy.
Red couldn't help but be the first to break the deadlock, offering a suggestion: "To be honest, if you want to temper your mind, you can go to the peak of Mt. Silver. I'm an old hand at that..."
Hearing this, Green just showed a disdainful sneer. Train on Mt. Silver? Go from one form of self-isolation to another?
Immediately, after a moment of staring each other down, the two men simultaneously turned their gazes to Blue (manga character) in the middle, holding out their hands. Where's the gift?
"Hee hee~ The gift is with Blue Girl. I had her bring it to you~" Blue (manga character) said with a grin. In the real world, Blue understood and slowly took out three Poké Balls from her pocket.
"Are these Poké Balls too?"
Recognizing the objects, Ash and Gary exclaimed in unison. These were definitely the most strangely shaped Poké Balls they had ever seen.
The top half of the Poké Ball was deep blue, the bottom half was an uncanny purple, and it was covered with a light blue, web-like pattern. Four yellow protrusions stuck out from the four cardinal directions of the Poké Ball, giving the whole thing a very high-tech look.
"Oh, oh~ Big Sis Blue said these are called Beast Balls. She got them from a kind person in a trade a while back~" Blue explained with a smile.
Upon seeing the Beast Balls, Red and Green had a flash of realization, gradually recalling the memory.
Back when the three of them traveled to Alola, the two battle maniacs, Red and Green, naturally went to challenge the region's unique Battle Tree, attempting to snipe the first-ever Alola Champion.
But Blue (manga character) wasn't interested in battling. She deployed her traditional arts and snuck into the wealthiest organization in the area. Seeing these three Poké Balls in the deepest laboratory, she helped herself to them.
"Can I trade my treasures for these three unremarkable Poké Balls? No one's answering, so I'll take that as a yes~"
It wasn't stealing. Blue had asked at least three times on the spot, but no one came out to stop or object.
Granted, at the time, she had her Ditto transform into the likeness of an Alolan guardian deity, causing everyone in the Aether Foundation to run out and worship it, but that was a minor detail.
Besides, Blue (manga character) had left three Sitrus Berries on the table. It was an equal exchange. At worst, the Aether Foundation only suffered a small loss.
After the three regrouped, it was a perfect one Beast Ball each.
Since they had come all the way to Alola, the three of them couldn't leave empty-handed. So they turned around, beat up the four local island guardian deities, and then took a two-day sightseeing tour of an Ultra Wormhole.
During that time, the three of them each caught a Pokémon the locals called an "Ultra Beast," all hand-picked for their perfect 6IV stats.
When it was time to go home, the biggest problem arose.
"Beast Balls and Ultra Beasts can't get through customs."
So the two boys entrusted their Beast Balls to Blue (manga character). Using her devilish tricks, she pulled a grand switcheroo and successfully smuggled the Beast Balls out of the Alola Region.
But both of them had forgotten about their Beast Balls, until now...
"Here, here~ This one is for Brother Red, and this one is for Green~" Blue said with a bright smile, handing two of the Beast Balls to them.
