Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 213 Revisiting the old place in the dark tide (35)

In late summer and early autumn, Wudou Town was almost the same as last year. The only difference was that there was less excitement with trainers from all over the place gathering together.

As the only city of some size in the alliance in the southwest, in the medium-sized urban area, citizens are in a hurry and rushing for life, but you can also see scenes of people walking and chatting in twos and threes, which is different from the atomized society in big cities. , here still has the simplicity and friendship of early civil society.

After a half-day flight, Lai and Naqi arrived here in the afternoon. After checking the time, they felt that it was a little late to challenge the gym, so they simply walked around the city and waited until the next day to visit the fighting gym for advice.

"Compared to Kaina, it's still a lot inferior, but it's quite distinctive in some aspects." Although this is not the first time Naqi has come to Wudou Town, she had always been with missions or focused on training before. It was the first time that I really had the leisure to take a stroll around the city, so I was quite excited and commented on all aspects of the city.

Naturally, Lai would not spoil his girlfriend's interest, and consciously acted as the bag carrier and approval machine.

After passing an intersection, Naqi took Lai's arm and pointed in the distance: "That's the arena over there. I heard that Ms. Bonnie got the highest winning streak here last year. Are you interested in challenging it?"

"No need, Ms. Bonnie last year was better than me now." Lai waved his hand, "In that case, why bother to break this record?"

"Hey, you are so boring..." Naqi sighed exaggeratedly, pretending to be like "you are hopeless" and holding her forehead, "As punishment, I will let you go shopping with me!"

With that said, Naqi turned a corner and started heading towards the commercial district of Wudou Town.

"You slow down!"

Carrying large and small bags, Lai quickly moved forward to catch up with his girlfriend.

"You are too slow!"

Laughter like silver bells spread through the streets.

[Naki, let’s play together! 】

Jirachi was wearing a tailor-made windbreaker that completely covered his entire body, making it impossible to see his true appearance. He was happily floating beside Naqi.

"Okay! I'll take you to the game arcade later!"

[Yeah, let’s play! 】

······
In the northern part of Wudou Town, there is a high-end apartment for the Alliance's special advisor in the southwest region.

The old man was making a phone call with a displeased look on his face. All the servants had exited the room, except for the old butler who was dressed neatly and had no expression on his face.

"Shui Wutong, who gave you the courage to give orders to me?"

On the phone, Quan's voice came out faintly and reached the ears of the old housekeeper who had excellent hearing.

"Mr. Rongzhi, please forgive me, BOSS has no such intention."

"Do you have the right to speak? Shui Wutong, is this how you discipline your subordinates?"

Quan's words not only did not calm the old man's anger, but instead ignited his anger.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rongzhi, it's my fault. But compared to this, business is more important, right?"

Shui Wutong's calm voice came out slowly, and his Qi-nurturing skills were still as good as ever.

"Business? Let me remind you that you and your soldiers and crab generals are able to exist today not because of how well you hide or how sophisticated your methods are. It's just that a few of us think you are still useful and don't want to touch you. Figure out your identity , and then speak."

The old man's face was full of arrogance. He was about to retire. He was already a little tired of the water fleet that frequently caused trouble for him and failed to do anything by himself. He was not as enthusiastic as his other collaborators.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rongzhi, but please think twice. If we don't deal with this person as soon as possible, over time, there will be a problem with our water fleet. I will follow you..."

Just by listening to the voice, you can feel the person on the other side of the phone standing up and bowing his head respectfully.But what he said made the old man's ears more and more uncomfortable.

"Are you threatening me?"

The old man's voice was as cold as ice.

"Don't dare! I'm just stating a fact. This young man named Lai knows a lot of information, and the source is unknown. If he is not careful, it will cause a lot of trouble." Shui Wutong's voice became more respectful.

"You are really getting better and better as you live. You can't deal with a brat under 14 years old. It seems we have to consider how much we support you."

Although he was very dissatisfied with Shui Wutong, the information in front of him could not allow him to ignore it. At the level of an old man, the focus was always on the continuation of the family and the family.

As an old king who is nearly 60 years old and has passed his prime. Now he only has two king-level Pokémon left, and he must deal with the crisis at hand carefully.

With his strength, even at his peak, he was completely unable to compete with the real Four Heavenly Kings, let alone with Genji who stood behind him.In addition, from the intelligence point of view, behind this young man is not only Yuanji, but also the old guy Zijin who hides deeply, and the boy Yinyu who paints the earth as king, all of whom have connections with him.

Moreover, regardless of the relationship, if the four Quasi-Kings, two of them, were equipped with top-level Quasi-Kings, it would be difficult even for him to fight head-on.

After listening to the old man's words, Shui Wutong, knowing full well that there would be more to come from him, kept waiting silently.

Finally, the old man who had been thinking for a long time said silently: "What is the strength of the little girl from the Moshu family now?"

"They are much inferior to Lai, two quasi-kings who have just broken through."

For unknown reasons, Shui Wutong hid part of the information.For example, these two Quasi-Kings who have just broken through are already at a very strong level among Quasi-King Pokémon.

"With such strength, it makes sense for you to approach me and ask me to take action. But how stupid are you to think of taking action in Wudou Town? If something happens to him here, even if it has nothing to do with me, That old thing Genji will find me."

At this time, the old man already had the idea of ​​​​doing it, but how and where to do it was still a question that needed to be thought about.

"Mr. Rongzhi, I am just reporting this matter to you. How to deal with it depends on your decision. However, our water fleet has been forced to completely withdraw from the southwest sea. It is difficult to provide you with more assistance for a while. At most, some Information about the itinerary.”

"Forget it, let's do it. For this kid, he is indeed very dangerous. I will arrange it later. You just need to provide information."

The old man's tone gradually became more solemn, but he, who had gradually lost trust in the water fleet, also had some plans of his own.

Immediately afterwards, he hung up the phone and fell into deep thought accompanied by the housekeeper.

It's not that he has no idea of ​​recruiting young talents, but with Lai's current strength, he may no longer be qualified to recruit an old man like him who is in his waning years and whose combat strength is less than [-]% of his peak. But he still has to give it a try.

The strength of this generation of young people, represented by Lai, Dawu and others, is growing at a rate that far exceeds the imagination of these senior executives.

In the prelude to this violent era, they have begun to fall behind. However, they are in the torrent of the times and have not fully realized this. They still hope to control the situation and eliminate people like Lai who appear suddenly and may be uncontrollable. X factor.

"Afu, what do you think?"

Suddenly, the old man with his head buried asked a question.

"Sir, I don't know what you want to ask."

The well-dressed old housekeeper still stood upright, as if he had not heard the call just now.

"You and I have been together for many years, so don't worry."

The old man waved and motioned for him to sit over.

The butler was unmoved and still stood where he was, but his language changed:
"In the southwestern region, apart from Mr. Kiyooka of the boxing gym, there is indeed only one true king of power, Mr. You, but that's not necessarily true if you go north."

After speaking, he seemed to have never said any words, standing there like a sculpture.

"North?"

This time, no one answered his question, and he didn't expect anyone to answer, because this sentence was actually a declarative sentence.

Outside the window, the setting sun has mostly sunk into the water, leaving only an increasingly faint residual light, still trying to illuminate the entire sky.

His mind became more and more irritable, and the old man waved his hand: "Afu, close the curtains!"
