Chapter 42 External Influence
Outside the arena.
With Kashiwagi taking Ken on the big screen, it completely exploded.
"Won? Really?"
"You don't have eyes to see? This guy still has something."
"Fuck it, just rely on Pokémon evolution to make a comeback, I can do it too."
"Oh, did that healthy Duba bear fall from the sky?"
"This piece of trash from the Vicious Dogs Team has no brains! What a scumbag commander, first this, then that, and finally that, or else he won't lose!"
"I would say that it would be really stupid to just rush over and give that kid a knife."
"You can fly? There are four Pokémon between the two of us, and there's still twenty or thirty meters to go!"
"Climb the wall and go around!"
"There's nothing wrong with you?"
The audience in Huang Tiezhen discussed wildly and evaluated the battle from various angles. Some people started arguing and even started fighting.
finally.
Although many people have come to the conclusion that I can do it, there are only a few who really despise cypress.
After all, they believe that the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy.
No matter how great your achievements are, no matter how impressive they are, it will be nothing if they can be killed.
Live till the end to have the last laugh.
In the main control room.
The leader of the Bad Dogs, the black-faced man, was so angry that he smashed the table and left, leaving only Ayana laughing wildly, attracting the attention of others.
The two organizations have been hostile for many years, and have had no less than a hundred conflicts, large and small. Even the cadres have died, as well as countless squad leaders and ordinary members.
But this was the first time that one of them suffered such a severe defeat alone, and suffered such a big loss.
ha?
The ones Jian killed?
They are just trash fish that are not worth mentioning. They cannot regain the dignity lost by the Bad Dog Team.
Back at the station, the black-faced man felt both angry and worried.
Jian was a talent favored by the top cadres. It was really not easy for him to die in a place like this. As the team leader, he must be the first to blame.
God knows how much blood will be drawn this time. If someone takes advantage of the situation, they may have to be punished.
"Where's Huo Wu! Let her get out and see me!"
The black-faced man shouted angrily, trying to find the other party to share the responsibility.
After all, Huo Wu did betray the Dog Team and helped members of the hostile organization successfully ambush the two of them.
When a logistics officer saw him getting angry, he stepped forward cautiously and said with his back turned, "Sir, Hao Wu rode his motorcycle back to the headquarters on the pretext of a physical examination."
"gone!?"
The black-faced man's eyes widened and he kicked the man down, gritting his teeth and looking at the Quicksand Team's station not far away.
If there hadn't been time for Rotom to stare at him from the sky, he would probably have killed him.
After thinking about it, he couldn't easily swallow this breath, so he took out the communicator and started to contact the people inside.
"Brother, you have to find a way to save me!"
As soon as the call was connected, the black-faced man started shouting for help.
Silica City.
Banquet hall.
Many upper-class people were chatting in low voices, looking towards the second floor from time to time.
Just now, someone gave a generous three million to the young man who won on the big screen. If the host on the second floor had not stepped forward to stop it in time, that person would have continued to reward him.
Everyone couldn't help but be a little curious about the man who was called up to the second floor.
"Does anyone know who that is?"
"You don't even know him? He's a famous mining tycoon in the Ourei region! He almost has a monopoly on the mineral import and export industry in the Ourei region!"
"Monopoly on import and export! Such a big business!"
"I heard that he is somewhat related to Lord Ergin."
"We are one of our own... no wonder."
The business owners all looked astonished and looked towards the second floor with envy in their eyes.
Silica City is recognized as the largest city in Orle, and its mayor is almost the same as the King of Orle. His huge power makes countless people shy away.
Perhaps only the group of powerful trainers from Battle Mountain can rival them.
When the Pokémon Alliance is officially established, Ergin will probably be able to serve as the chairman of the alliance executive committee very smoothly.
It is really enviable to be related to such a big shot.
Second floor.
A man who was the envy of many business owners was being lectured by Erkin.
"A reward of three million to a pariah? What are you thinking? Money is blown by the wind, so you waste it like this!?"
"I gave you the ore business out of trust. Is this how you repay me?"
"Your eldest son is not young anymore, and his son is almost twenty years old. Your father has left you in my care for many years, and you are actually getting into trouble for this kind of thing!"
"Go back and reflect! Don't take the position of chairman yet... Forget it, I'll deal with you later, but I don't want this kind of thing to happen again, so get out!"
After some words that belittled it to the extreme.
The man lowered his head and looked back, hiding his indifferent expression, and walked down from the second floor.
Behind him came the voices of a group of people comforting Ergin, and Ergin's tone of hatred, but he just pretended not to hear it.
Having been with Erjin for so many years, the man knew very well that the old man had a perverted desire for control and a greedy character that could only get money in but not out.
Not only is she extremely face-saving, but she is also very stingy.
This can be seen from the fact that the amount of rewards for ordinary people is limited and cannot exceed his amount.
If a man didn't have certain additional permissions, he wouldn't be able to do such a thing as giving a reward of three million.
And there is no doubt about it.
The reason why men are called out and scolded is because they did not save face for Ergin and interrupted the latter's plan to show off.
After all.
Three million is just a drop in the bucket to them. The important thing is that the man is firmly controlled by them.
On the surface, he is a mining tycoon, but in fact, many people around him are direct descendants of Ergin, and they firmly control everything in the company. He does not have much authority.
Sometimes, a man is just a mascot.
therefore.
He knew very well that his status was not high, and Ergin, who was offended, must have started thinking about how to punish him.
regret? No.
He had long been tired of many things. The moment he saw Kashiwagi defeat Ken, a sudden surge of courage prompted him to make some decisions——
"We must fight for a better future for Shanmin."
Thinking of his son who had returned from studying abroad not long after, the man - Dinis realized that there was nothing he couldn't spare.
He glanced at Erjin on the second floor again, and tempered the sharpness in his eyes.
——
Inside the arena.
Cypress trees should be kept in the shade as much as possible and occasionally replenished with moisture.
He was very fortunate that Cordora was a Pokémon that didn't need much water, otherwise he would have to prepare more water bags, which would increase the burden.
The sun at noon is too harsh.
Based on his physical sensation, he thought the temperature might exceed forty-five degrees, and the dusty ground was so hot it could roast a person.
If Otsuka just lay in the sun like this, he might get heat stroke.
Is there heat stroke in the Pokémon world?
Kashiwagi didn't know, and he desperately hoped not, for fear that Otsuka would become mentally retarded.
This kid is not very clever to begin with.
"Dora!"
But Dora's cry caught his attention.
Kashiwagi moved in the direction indicated by the person in front of him with his head raised, and suddenly saw a figure half hiding in the shadows and half exposed to the sun under a huge rock.
Um.
People indeed.
His eyesight is quite good.
