When it es to hidden bosses in Pokémon games, the ultimate example has to be Red from PokémoGold and SoulSilver.

  In the game, after pyers collect all the Gym Badges a the Pokémon League Champion, they unlock the path to Mt. Silver, where they challenge a legendary trainer known as Red.

  Red began his jour the age of ten, and within a year, he became the Pokémon League Champion. Along the way, he single-handedly dismaeam Rocket, defeating their leader Giovanni in the process.

  After that, Red stepped down as Champion areated to the remote Mt. Silver to train in solitude. Years passed, and no one heard from him—until the pyers reach the summit to find him waiting.

  Naoki recalled that in the game, all six of Red's Pokémon were over level 80, with his Pikachu being a staggering level 88, only 12 levels shy of the maximum.

  Such a formidable lineup made him the true hidden boss of his era.

  Thinking of this, Naoki g Koraidon, who was napping peacefully at the foot of the bed, and then thought of Pawmot and Dragonite.

  "If we were to calcute their strength in terms of levels from the games, what levels would my Pokémon be?" he wondered.

  Calling himself a "hidden boss" felt like an exaggeration.

  But thehought about the "special" traits of his ranch's Pokémon, and the term didn't seem so far-fetched.

  "..."

  Well, maybe he could sider himself a half-hidden boss.

  At that moment, Raifort sent him another message.

  [Raifort]: Did you see that post? You're really famous at our academy now. I even heard that some trainers are f a team to challenge you!

  [Naok: …

  Was this turning into an MM, where pyers had to team up to raid the boss?

  [Naok: By the way, how's your research progressing?

  [Raifort]: So far, so good! I've found a way to undo the seals, and I've pinpoihe general locations where they're hidden. Some areas might have shifted slightly due to earthquakes or other factors, but I'm fident we finish this soon!

  [Raifort]: Wheime es, I'll need your help again.

  [Naok: Got it.

  Areasures like the Jade Fish, the Celestial Cauldron, and the mythical deer Pokémon were fasating. Even if he couldn't capture or tame them, it would be worth it just to see them in person and take some photos.

  After ending his versation with Raifort, Naoki logged onto the Pokémon Forum. He immediately noticed that Giratina's fan t had surpassed 100,000, reag six figures.

  In this world, legendary Pokémon were exceptionally rare and often symbols of immense power.

  Across cities and trysides, tless people dedicated their lives to searg for these mythical creatures. Yet, aside from a fortunate few, most would never enter a legendary Pokémon in their lifetime, leaving them with an unfulfilled dream.

  But now, Giratina—a legendary Pokémon that not only revealed itself but also used a Rotom phoo surf the i—had naturally captured the world's attention.

  Naoki couldn't help but marvel at the sheer curiosity izens had fendary Pokémon.

  But Giratina's popurity was utterly overwhelming!

  Seeing the number surpassing 150,000 followers, Naoki felt a twinge of envy.

  His cultural promotion at for the King of Bountiful Harvests only had a little over 200 followers.

  "If only I could transfer Giratina's fan base to Calyrex!" Naoki mused with a sigh.

  But then, a spark of determination lit in his eyes. "We 't let Giratina's popurity go to waste like this!"

  The m, Naoki found Calyrex, rexing in the garden with its phone. Naoki quickly helped the Pokémister an at on the forum.

  Afterward, Naoki used his Rotom Phoo capture a series of picturesque shots: Calyrex elegantly sipping afternoon tea amidst the blooming flowers of the ranch. Satisfied with the photos, Naoki uploaded them to the forum with the caption, "A tranquil moment with the King of Bountiful Harvests."

  As Calyrex observed Naoki's as with a mix of curiosity and fusion, it tilted its regal head slightly and asked, "urpose does this serve?"

  Naoki simply grinned, his toeasingly cryptic. "You'll see soon enough."

  Naoki theured into the Reverse World, where he found Giratina engrossed in online discussions. Without hesitation, he asked for its help in sharing Calyrex's post.

  Giratina, intrigued, readily agreed. The powerful Pokémon remembered Calyrex from a past visit when it had e to the Reverse World with Naoki and assisted in pnting flowers.

  Giratina rumbled, "Rotom, repost the message for Calyrex."

  "Right away, Rotom!" Rotom Phone responded promptly, albeit with a hint of nervousness. It quickly opened Giratina's at to forward the post.

  Before finalizing, Rotom asked, "What caption should I attach, Rotom?"

  Giratina turs imposing gaze toward Naoki, clearly unsure.

  Naoki thought for a moment before suggesting, "Hello everyone, meet my good friend, Calyrex

  Rotom chirped, "Got it, Rotom!" and the post was forwarded successfully.

  Watg the post go live, Giratina raised a metaphorical eyebrow and asked, "Since when am I friends with Calyrex?"

  Naoki chuckled and replied, "You are now." He quickly opehe Forum's group chat fun, creating a new group and adding Giratina and Calyrex to it.

  [The Most Powerful Giratina has joihe group chat!]

  [Farmer has joihe group chat!]

  Naoki grinned. "There! From now on, if you want to say anything, you just drop it in the group. ve, right?"

  He turiratina. "Calyrex is a fellow legendary Pokémon like you, but its powers focus on granting abundand prosperity to the nd. I believe you've wits abilities firsthand."

  Giratina's crimson eyes glimmered as it recalled the lush fields Calyrex had nurtured during its previous visit to the Reverse World.

  Naoki tinued, his tourning persuasive. "The more people know about Calyrex and revere it, the stros prow. Someday, its strength might eveend to rest life to the barren nds of the Reverse World."

  Giratina blinked in astonishment, its imposing presence slightly softening. "He do that?"

  Naoki smiled knowingly. "Perhaps. That's why I came to ask for your help today."

  Giratina uood immediately. With its growing fahis was the perfeent for Calyrex, to step into the limelight. Calyrex could attract more attention from humans and bee even stronger.

  Realizing this, Giratina grinned mischievously. "You owe me a favor for this, Naoki."

  Naoki blinked, caught off guard. "You keep track of favors?"

  Giratina huffed proudly. "I am Giratina!"

  Naoki couldn't help but ugh, realizing that Giratina had clearly learned such p from its time spent browsing the i.

  "Alright, how about this? I'll give you another massage using the power of the dragon," Naoki offered.

  Giratina's eyes gleamed with i. "One huhousand massages!"

  Naoki froze, stunned by the absurd demand. "A huhousand? That's impossible! My dragon power takes all night to recover after one use. I've been using it for the Cyclizars tely—I don't have ara for you!"

  Giratina leaned closer, uerred. "housand, then!"

  "Three massages!" Naoki tered.

  "Fifty thousand!"

  "Fifteen, and that's my final offer! You're already so powerful that dragon taming barely bes you anymore. Meanwhile, the other dragon Pokémon at the ranch still need my help."

  After a tense moment, Giratina grudgingly relented. "Fine. Fifteen massages it is, but don't you dare fet!"

  .....

  The post shared by Girati shockwaves across the i.

  "The King of Bountiful Harvests? Giratina's friend? Anendary Pokémon?"

  Fans of legendary Pokémon flocked to Calyrex's profile in droves, marveling at the image of the elegant Pokémon enjoying afternoon tea amidst the garden's serey. But their curiosity quickly turned into skepticism.

  "Anendary Pokémon that surfs the web?"

  "Is this legit, or just a publicity stunt?"

  "Who's behind this? Are they trying to boost traffic to the site?"

  The rising suspis also impacted Giratina's reputation. Faced with waves of doubt from humans, Giratina became visibly irritated.

  Angered by the accusations, Giratina responded swiftly. It anded Rotom, "Post another photo of me, and make it clear who I am!"

  "Right away, Rotom!" Rotom chirped nervously.

  The sed photo showed Giratina in its majestic in Forme, surrounded by swirling shadows and a foreboding aura. The caption, written at Giratina's request, read:

  "I am Giratina, ruler of the Reverse World. Believe it, or feel free to firm it yourself."

  With the release of Giratina's sed photo, all doubts about its authenticity vanished.

  The enviro in the background was surreal, clearly not of this world. As legends stated, the God of Time and the God of Space resided in separate dimensions, and Giratina, being their terpart, shared the same ins. This left little room for skepticism.

  However, the story of Calyrex, the King of Bountiful Harvests, was different. Unlike Giratina, Calyrex's background was iwined with the human world. The skepticism surrounding Calyrex began to diminish as izens g to have entered it shared their experiences online.

  [Cherry Wine]: "Stop doubting the King of Bountiful Harvests!"

  [Potato]: "Exactly! Calyrex saved the mountain near Kosaji Town after a devastating fire two years ago, rest its ecosystem pletely!"

  [Aaron]: "I bought a souvenir in Kosaji Town that honors Calyrex! The shopkeeper told me that He make crops grow instantly and rejuvenate soil fertility. It's a miraculous Pokémon!"

  [PetalLover]: "So true! Last fall, I attehe Kosaji Town Harvest Festival where Calyrex appeared. I even have photos—take a look!"

  These heartfelt testimonials and photos gradually silehe doubters. The i began buzzing with admiration for Calyrex.

  As Calyrex observed the growing support, it responded humbly on its Rotom Phone:

  "Those events are in the past. Now, I am just a simple farmer."

  To reflect this shift, Calyrex ged the name of its profile to "Farmer."

  Unlike Giratina, who seldom ied with fans and had a fiery temper, Calyrex was gentle and approachable. It often respoo questions from izens, further endearing itself to its growing fanbase.

  For instance, when someone asked where Calyrex lived, it replied:

  "I now live in a peaceful aiful pce."

  Wheioned about its use of a Rotom Phone, Calyrex expined:

  "A friend taught me. The little Rotom in the phone helps me use it. If I e across a word I don't know, Rotom tra for me."

  This did expnation revealed how these legendary Pokémon mao navigate modern teology, and it sparked admiration among fans.

  With time, the number of Calyrex's followers increased rapidly. More and more people began to learn about the King of Bountiful Harvest.

  The growth in popurity of Calyrex, the King of Bountiful Harvests, was astonishing, even showing signs of surpassing Giratina. The reason was simple: Calyrex's deeds and benevolence resonated deeply with humanity, earning it their resped admiration.

  Meanwhile, in Pallet Town...

  Professor Oak sat in his boratory, staring at the photo on his Rotom Phohe image showed a regal Pokémon with a rge -like head sitting gracefully in a vibrant garden, elegantly sipping bck tea.

  The esteemed professor's hands trembled with excitement."Incredible! Anendary Pokémon in just a matter of days!"

  Oak scrolled through the forum posts detailing the King of Bountiful Harvests.

  "Calyrex truly lives up to its title," he murmured, eyes gleaming with admiration.

  Professor Oak's enthusiasm boiled over as he formuted a pn. With trembling hands, he opehe private messagiure on Rotom Phone. He began typing a heartfelt message to Calyrex.

  [Professor Oak]:

  "Greetings, Calyrex! My name is Professor Samuel Oak, a schor devoted to studying Pokémon and their unique es to nature and humanity. It would be an honor to meet you. If you have time, I would be delighted to invite you to my research b here in Pallet Town in the Kantion. I promise to serve you the fi bck tea as we discuss your incredible abilities and history!"

  The message was sent. Professor Oak leaned back, his heart pounding with anticipation. He recalled how his previous message to Giratina had gone unanswered, leaving him uain if Calyrex would respond. Still, he held onto hope.

  Needing to distract himself, Oak decided to prepare a quick meal. With a sigh, he grabbed a pot of instant noodles and made his way to the kit. As he returo the b with his steaming cup, a familiar notification chime from the Rotom Phone caught his attention.

  Professor Oak quickly set down his instant noodles and grabbed his Rotom Phone. His heart raced as he opehe message from Calyrex, the King of Bountiful Harvests.

  [Farmer]:

  "Hello, Professor Oak. I have heard of you. I am sorry, but I ot visit your researstitute in Pallet Town."

  Oak's excitement dimmed, repced by a wave of disappoi.

  "Ah…" he muttered, his shoulders slumping.

  But before despair could fully set in, another message appeared on the s.

  [Farmer]:

  "However, while I ot travel there, you are wele to visit me instead. My friend is also looking forward to meeting you."

  Professor Oak froze in pce, his mind swirling with possibilities.Calyrex's friend? Could it be Giratina?

  He quickly dismissed the thought. No way. Giratina didn't even aowledge my previous message—it wouldn't be looking forward to meeting me.

  Then who could it be? The human who taught Calyrex how to use a Rotom Phone? If that person also taught Giratina, were both legendary Pokémon ected to this mysterious trainer?

  The thought boggled Oak's mind. Capturing a Pokémon like Giratina, a deity from another dimension, seemed impossible. If such a traied, they must be someoruly extraordinary.

  Looking back at the message, Oak turo his assistant and decred, "Prepare my travel kit. I'm heading to the Paldea region!"

  On February 24th of the Alliance dar, Professor Oak boarded a jet bound for the distant Paldea region, filled with anticipation for what y ahead.

  Paldea Region, Kosaji Town, Naoki Ranch

  Calyrex pced the Rotom Phone dowly and looked to Naoki.

  "Will this be suffit?"

  Naoki nodded with a grin. "Perfect. Professor Oak is one of the most respected Pokémon researchers in the world. If he aowledges yreatness, your name will spread to every er of the globe."

  Feeling the surging energy that had been growing within, Calyrex smiled softly.

  "To think this was unimaginable just a few years ago. Now, the world knows my name."

  Naoki's expression turned resolute. "We've e this far, but we're not stopping here. One day, your name will echo in every part of this world!"

  Meanwhile, in the Reverse World...

  Rotom buzzed urgently in front of Giratina.

  "Emergency, Rotom! The number of fans for Calyrex has surpassed yours!"

  Giratina's crimson eyes snapped open, wide with shod indignation.

  "What?! Impossible!"

  As the most powerful legendary Pokémon, Giratina believed it deserved the rgest following. Anything less was an affront to its status.

  It growled deeply, wings fring with dark energy. "Rotom, start taking more photos of me immediately!"

  "Copy that, Rotom!"
