Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 680 Back on track (25)

【Ha~Yawn】

Rubbing his hazy sleepy eyes and playing games with Mariluli until late at night, Jirachi woke up from the crib, drifted to the living room in a daze, picked up breakfast and started to eat.

Sunlight poured in from the window, illuminating the entire room.

The house is empty except for it.
-
"Mary~"

Mariluli, who was yawning profusely, was practicing boxing sleepily on the beach, and Naqi shook her head repeatedly.

The Lizard King dodged and rushed forward, giving it a wake-up call with his knife.

"The reason!"

"Mary?!"

After being hit hard suddenly, Mariluli screamed and subconsciously held her head in defense before realizing her situation.
-
"World Championship? You don't have time. If you don't think about it, let them figure it out on their own. If it doesn't work, let Daigo go."

"A high-risk resource island? If Lila can't solve it, let's go there together sometime."

"The second pioneering summit, oh, it's been a year, it's time to hold it."

"The Southwest Development Plan? What does Yahida think? Cortna, send this to him."

"The information on Team Lava, this is worth a look. Brother Hanazuki is very efficient, but you have to be careful not to accidentally hurt Shijana. I will give him details on the phone later."

"What's going on with ancient Pokémon research funding? Why has it increased so much? Do you want to sell me for money?"

"Then give it or not?"

".Here, you go find Lila."

"She said that the school doesn't have enough money."

"Then send a copy to Yashida by the way. He is a wealthy person."

"Okay~ Then there is the next document, BOSS~"

It has been nearly a week since they returned to Tianshui Island, and the specially designed promotional exhibition match between Lila and Yahida has also ended.

Various tasks that had been squeezed out since March last year finally appeared on Lai's desk.

Cortna, who was absent from work, was caught by Lila. She happily put on a small suit and became Len's temporary secretary.

As for the challengers against the volcano, it seems that they can only continue to hone their willpower in the short term.

"Why are there more?!"

Lai, who had spent the whole morning reading and signing documents, got up with two heads on his head.

He finally fully understood why a large part of those high-ranking Champions of Heaven had completely stagnated or even declined in strength. They had no time to train and take risks. They were completely tied up.

"Report~" Cortna gave an exaggerated salute, and there was a slight ripple under her slim-fitting suit. "This is all accumulated at the end of the year! There are some things you need to know, such as our relationship with the alliance. Each branch also has the number of conflicts and frictions of the coastal defense forces."

Averting his gaze slightly, Lai sat back in his seat, picked up half of the documents, and asked: "How many times have there been conflicts on the surface, where are they, and who is involved?"

"On the surface, there were 153, mainly concentrated in the mountains and the south. There were no large-scale conflicts. At most, Uncle Bernardo beat the middle-aged man of the Murata family, and Lila took action to eliminate several people hired by the Imagawa family. A small team, that's all. There were a few in the northwest, but it didn't have much impact." Cortna handed over a few pieces of paper, and the writing on them was very clear.

In order to perform well, Miss Cortina took a short sleep in her beauty sleep yesterday.

"Not big, not small. What about secretly? Are there any clues?"

Lai nodded. The situation above was as expected. It seemed that in order to rescue the Lava Team, the Zijin Branch spared no effort. On the contrary, the Water Fleet had almost disappeared over the past year. Except for the No. [-] Base that had been secretly monitored, there was no one. Exposing new strongholds is very cautious.

"I knew you were going to ask this a long time ago. Lila asked me to tell you secretly." Cortna stepped forward and her voice became much softer. "The battle against the Pyramid was a mixed bag. Yahida was assassinated once some time ago. , Shengli did a good job and there were no problems. But the person who did it was also very cautious and did not leave any clues." Hearing the news, Lai frowned: "Huh? Let me tell you the specific situation. In addition, Yashida's Security still needs to be strengthened. His self-protection ability is relatively poor, so he needs to pay special attention to it. The same goes for you, Nine-Tails and Flame Chicken cannot be separated from each other. There are also family members, Shengli's side should have almost trained their staff. At this time Different from the past, after I come back, my actions on the surface will decrease, but my actions secretly will only increase."

As he spoke, he ruffled Cortner's hair again.

"Okay, BOSS~"

It had been a long time since she had been so intimate. Cortna blushed slightly and jumped away from her. Her tone was a little exaggerated, but she didn't know how much she heard.

As the morning passed, the squeezing work decreased slightly, but the subsequent arrangements also became intensive.

From then on, it was a full day and night of work, even though he was a tough man, he was still unable to do it.

At first it was Cortna, and later it was replaced by Naqi and Lila. One by one, big and small matters were finally dealt with.
-
“It’s really an honor for me, Little Brother Lai, to come to my humble home!”

"Sister Sachiko is too polite. Naqi and I took the liberty to come here today. It's only a bother."

Shuijing City, Kanhara Sachiko's private residence, was bustling with activity at this time.

Senior figures from the Kanbaru family, Shui Jing branch, and the coastal defense force after the major change were all present.

However, compared to Kamihara Sachiko's radiant face, many people's faces were not pretty.

Choosing to visit the private residence meant that Rai valued and rewarded Sachiko Kanbara personally more than the Kanbara family, a behemoth entrenched in the northeastern part of the alliance, and also represented Rai's position in this area.

For the young Sachiko Kamihara, she can completely win the trust of this young and promising league champion. Although she will be tied to his chariot in the future, it also makes her status as stable as a mountain. Overshadowing the older generation in the family.

This also made her very happy that she had made the decision to express her position in the council against all opinions.
-
After the tedious entertainment, Rai and Sachiko Kanhara sat opposite each other in the secret meeting room of only two people.

Lai spoke bluntly: "My sister invited me here, surely it wasn't just to create a scene, right? Is there anything I can do for you, little brother?"

"Indeed, I have a little trouble, and I would like you to help me solve it." Kanhara Sachiko smiled very kindly, and his posture was much lower. The young man in front of him was no longer the same as two years ago. He had truly become a A giant that the entire Kanyuan family cannot fight against. "The cooperation between the development zone and us is very smooth. I think Mr. Mo Shu has also mentioned this, right?"

"Of course, Uncle Moshu is very satisfied with the cooperation between the two parties, and he also mentioned that we would expand the cooperation. Before I came back, this matter was put on hold for a while. I also had the idea of ​​discussing it with my sister." Lai nodded and did not agree with the asking price. No resistance.

For all parties involved in the Laihe Yinyu Agreement, facing an established wealthy family like the Kanbaru family with deep roots, an excellent geographical location, and no direct conflicts, cooperation is a better choice than confrontation, especially when they have the power of Kanbaru. When Sachiko is a leader who knows how to advance and retreat.

In a short period of time, the project to jointly develop the natural resources in the northern part of the mainland has been set in stone. The specific process will be left to professional people for discussion, and there will be some competition and disagreement.

However, what is more important than this is that Sachiko pretended to bring it up casually.

"Brother, would it be bad if Chenghua's office didn't have someone who knows everything about it to help?"

After a round of flattery between the host and the guest, Sachiko brought the topic to Chenghua.

"Over there, it's easy to negotiate with Senri-san and Shingo-senpai, and it's not that hard, but it does involve some energy. What, does my sister have someone to recommend?"

Lai also naturally heard what Sachiko meant, neither agreeing nor objecting, motioning her to continue.

Sachiko pursed her lips and smiled: "There is a junior Ryunosuke in the family. He is not very successful, but he has done something. He has been working with the development zone in the west this year. Otherwise, let him go and practice? He will always stay in one place. , is not conducive to growth, and we have to let young people gain some knowledge, just like you, my little brother, didn’t you travel all over Hoenn at a young age?”

"It makes sense." Laishen nodded in agreement, but said nothing.

"Just like the Shuijing Branch, it's still worth coming, isn't it? After all, it's a big city with a complicated environment, and it also has the most important waterways."

Sachiko tapped her nails on the table.

"Yes, Yinyu and Shuijing are not far apart. If we want to deepen our cooperation, we should go to Shuijing to get familiar with the situation, just like we should go out and get more experience."

Rai stood up with satisfaction and shook hands with Kamihara Sachiko to say goodbye.
