Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 490 The dark clouds at the alliance headquarters (35)

Liang Guang closed the door and stood behind Genji.

"The international police are full of ambition but not strong enough. The two old guys from the alliance have long since lost their momentum. Those bastards from the Imagawa family who escaped from the battle are even more hopeless. If we really want to solve this problem, we have to rely on us."

Without outsiders, Genji also showed signs of fatigue. After a month of fighting, he understood these wild Pokémon better than anyone else.

"This matter has spread widely. We also need to guard against the intervention of evil forces such as hunter organizations. They will not care about the dangers of these Pokémon."

After hearing what Genji said, Lai nodded understandingly and mentioned the evil organization.

"Yes, it is necessary to guard against these scum, especially today when your boy has registered with many evil organizations."

Tie Xuan sat next to Lai, and was very relieved to see this young man whom he had taken care of in the face of his old friend at first, but now he really admired him.

"However, I'm confused as to why my information is known to the Hunter Organization in such detail?"

Lai put his hands on the table and asked this question that everyone knew well, and also put some contradictions on the table.

"The problem lies within the alliance. Some people want to kill people with a borrowed knife." Bonnie is not a native of Hoenn, and she is the most unscrupulous in her words.

Her words also made Yuanji's expression suddenly become unnatural.

"If it's just local tycoons like Kanaz and Zijin, and they don't have much contact with me, they shouldn't know so much in detail. After all, apart from gym challenges, I don't take many shots. I want to be more detailed about hunters. To organize at that level requires very systematic collection and summary, and only the alliance headquarters should have this ability. After all, they have the most complete information about the Eighth Avenue Pavilion, even Fu Yan and Yin Yu."

Lai's gaze was unavoidable at Genji, the senior and teacher who had always taken great care of him.

"Lai, this matter." Liangguang wanted to say something, but Yuanji extended his hand to interrupt.

"Let me tell you. Lai, at least from my understanding, and from the decades of friendship between me and the chairman, this matter cannot be his handiwork, although he is already extremely wary of you, or in other words, he is very wary of you and Tie Xuan. The development zone they built. However, he is a person who follows the rules in everything, otherwise he would not be able to sit in the position of balancing all parties."

Genji was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, he still defended his old friend.

"So, what does Genji-senpai mean?" Lai cast an inquiring gaze.

"Although it will not be his own handiwork, his acquiescence is inevitable. I do not intend to cover up for him. On the contrary, I hold an objection. Therefore, on this island, Tie Xuan and I also Bonnie will be your backing. Of course, with your current strength, at least in Hoenn, few people can attack you and escape unscathed. However, the conditions in this ghost place are special, so you have to be more careful. .”

Genji stepped forward and patted Rai on the shoulder, his expression a little forlorn.

"Maybe our generation is really old, and it might be a good thing to replace with some fresh blood like you. You grow up so fast, beyond our imagination, and even beyond our common sense. Maybe this is the era signal."

As he spoke, he took out a newspaper and put it on the table.

"Young trainer Red defeated the Four Four Kings of the Alliance and the new champion Green, and became the champion of the Kanto region! 》

The huge title is visible at a glance.

"Such monsters have already appeared, including that little girl from Sinnoh, our Dago from Hoenn, and you. This is a reminder to us that our time has passed."

While he was feeling emotional, Tie Xuan suddenly spoke up and interrupted Yuanji: "That's when your time has passed. I'm still very young, and there are still countless dreams that have not been realized. Don't compare me with you!"

Tie Xuan's words dilute the slightly depressing atmosphere. Under Genji's astonishment, Bonnie, Liangguang, and Lai all covered their mouths and chuckled.

"Senior Genji, I think Senior Tiexuan is right. You are in the prime of your life, and juniors like us still need the teachings of our seniors. I understand what you mean. After the Aiyu Conference, I will launch the King of Heaven Challenge .”

"Just understand and do your best. Leave your students to me. With me as an old man and the old man who doesn't obey me very much, their safety is absolutely guaranteed." Yuanji was greatly relieved by Lai's announcement, and he patted Lai's shoulders and back hard. He was not old at all as he said, and his strength was no less than that of Bernardo who was far away in Villarrica.

"Okay, after finishing your story, let's talk about the specific situation of this battle. I was in the communication that day."

The lights in the conference room stayed on until midnight.

······
While the meeting was held on the Feilong, the alliance headquarters was also very busy.

"Don't think that I don't know your thoughts and the money you receive. Normally I just turn a blind eye. When it comes to major matters, who dares to do what I did nine years ago? I am not as soft-hearted as the previous chairman to ignore the interests of the Fengyuan region."

In the chairman's office, the short chairman looked very imposing at the moment.

A group of high-level civil servants from the alliance nodded and bowed in front of him, not daring to express their anger.

After all, although the little man in front of him is usually kind and amiable, when he was young, he was also a strong man who fought with swords and guns. He was fundamentally different from those of them who were good at writing.

"Let me get rid of all those dirty tricks that are not on the table. If there are more, I don't think I need to say anything. You all know it in your mind. If you let me see it again, don't say that I didn't say hello today. Just do things.”

With a wave of his hand, several people exited the office one after another as if they had been granted amnesty.

They were also aware of the Chairman's hint.

Behind the stick raised high and lowered gently is both tacit approval and secret encouragement.

"Hey, I don't know if what I did is right or wrong. But no matter what, I must maintain the hard-won peace and stability of Fengyuan. No matter who it is, no one can break this order."

With a sigh, the chairman bent over his desk and continued to deal with various tasks that could not be solved no matter what.

The alliance's huge and complicated system from top to bottom, while operating inefficiently at each level, also turns countless trivial layers upwards into countless information garbage, filling up the entire working time of the alliance headquarters.

The large-scale civil servants at the headquarters rely on such information garbage to ensure their own existence value, and use them to fill the chairman's work schedule, leaving him with no time to care about others, even if he is only a neutral faction to maintain the stability of the current structure , have exhausted all their efforts.

As the only leading voice in the alliance headquarters, in the face of absolute power, some things are sometimes helpless.

However, from another perspective, such a mechanism avoids the indiscriminate use of the power of the alliance chairman and creates a structural flexibility that is neither easy to get better nor easy to get worse.

The chairman knew this well, but he could only let it go and try his best to make slight improvements. This was his limit.

The Fengyuan Alliance, which has been established for a hundred years, has become increasingly powerful in terms of strength. The four major cities have become the same as some developed regions, and even some small and medium-sized cities and towns close to these cities are also developing very well.

However, internal structural crises are gradually becoming apparent.

Both he and the conservative directors are very aware of the current problems, but he does not dare to tamper with them. Each of the directors is involved in their own affairs. Although they have the idea of ​​​​improving the status quo or even providing benefits, it is difficult to make much progress. After the intensity was reduced layer by layer, there was not much left.

······
Over Caiyou City, the bright moon is bright, and its silver-white light shines on this city where there are not many residents, mostly staff and family members of the alliance's major agencies and headquarters.

The edge of the city is a towering cliff, and the waves wash over the cliff below, making a gentle sound.

However, on the cliff more than a hundred meters high, this sound was inaudible.
