Chapter 247 Cooperation with Sakaki
Chapter 247 Cooperation with Sakaki
"As you know, besides money and the power to protect, I really don't have any other resources, so..."
After hearing Xuan Mingtian's words, Sakaki fell into deep thought.
Just as the other party said, their family's strength has increased dramatically since they acquired Regigigas and the others.
To put it bluntly, based on what's publicly known, even if they gathered all the forces openly united, they might not be able to defeat the Xuan family.
Of course, this power refers to the strength of the elves. However, unless the League is willing to use its trump card, they really are no match for them.
The so-called trump card is like Professor Oak's. Why was he able to offer a Moltres Pokémon egg as a reward?
It's impossible to say that the other party has no connection with Moltres.
Therefore, in Sakaki's view, Xuan Mingtian's actions were a way of accumulating power.
After a moment of contemplation, Sakaki seemed to have made up his mind: "Alright, then I'll go crazy with you this once. I'll take care of the equipment and the researchers. However, the research base can't be here."
Upon hearing Sakaki's reply, Xuan Mingtian's joy was immediately evident on his face.
"Haha, Gym Leader Giovanni, I understand what you mean. I never intended to place this research base in the basement of the manor. Putting aside the fact that the upper floors are the Pokémon Research Institute, this place is Viridian City. It's right under the nose of the League, so I never planned to put it here."
"Could it be that you intend to..."
Sakaki, having become the new leader of Team Rocket, certainly understood what Xuan Mingtian meant.
Ultimately, their purpose is to deceive others.
This will not only attract the attention of those who are interested in doing good deeds within the alliance, but also pique the curiosity of those who are simply curious.
If it were to be hacked, people entering the research institute would find it filled with high-tech research, even research on small technological gadgets.
This would not only leave them dumbfounded, but could also spray them in the face or cut their necks, drawing blood.
"That's right, just as you thought. The bottom layer of the research institute is just for show, for the Alliance to see. You know, with Beedrill guarding it so closely, even a fool would want to know the secrets of the research institute."
"Brother Tian, I never knew you were so cunning. If what you say is true, when the Alliance opens the door, they'll be furious."
After everyone heard Xuan Mingtian's plan, Yang Bin was the first to voice his disapproval. He hadn't expected that after spending several months together, he would be so dark-skinned, almost like ink.
This is truly outrageous and unreasonable...
"Bin is right. Adding to last night's incident, the league has been tricked by Xiao Tian three times, and each time it's more serious than the last."
"That's right, that's right..."
Everyone was speaking freely, sharing their opinions on Xuan Mingtian. Even Sakaki and Uncle Xiao exchanged a deep look.
It's as if it's saying: Do you know how cunning your Xiaotian is?
It's alright, you'll get used to it.
*Slap! Slap!*
After clapping his hands twice, Xuan Mingtian continued, "Alright everyone, let's continue with my arrangements. Master Sakaki and Uncle Xiao, use your connections to find out which islands are suitable. I plan to use them as our real base."
"And Xiao Gang, Bin Zai, and Qian Qian, your current goal is to study and train your Pokémon with all your might..."
One plan after another, one task after another, were accomplished in the meeting room.
Each has its own tasks and its own goals.
Children's goals are the simplest: to learn and train.
Giovanni's mission and goal are to gather supplies, personnel, and equipment in the name of Team Rocket. At the same time, he also aims to advance further in his position as Gym Leader.
Uncle Xiao's task is to search for an island in Xuan Mingtian's name. If a suitable one is found, then the plan will be followed: to build the island into a resort estate. Of course, this is only the official plan.
Beneath the planned manor lies the actual base. And it's a large-scale base to be built, while he also oversees the entire progress.
The plan is tentatively to have Uncle Xiao and Gym Leader Sakaki merge their Team Rocket, Xuan Mingtian, and his family.
……
The sun, high in the sky, gradually began to set in the west. Time slipped away unnoticed as we talked.
It wasn't until the knock on the door that everyone in the reception room realized it was already afternoon.
It really proves the saying: When people get serious, they never realize how quickly time flies.
"Knock knock knock, big brother, open the door."
"Here I am!"
Hearing the knocking and calling, Xuan Mingtian responded loudly. He then addressed the group again, saying, "Let's proceed with the plan and work together to create a brilliant future."
He immediately got up and went to open the door.
"Click~"
As soon as the door opened, a dark figure appeared. With lightning speed, it pounced into Xuan Mingtian's arms.
Looking at the little girl who was a head shorter than him, Xuan Mingtian smiled and said, "What's wrong, Xiao Qingmei?"
At the same time, his hands didn't forget to place them on her head, and with a messy, haphazard motion, ruffled her hair into a bird's nest shape.
"Ugh~ You're so mean~ Big brother, you're so mean. You messed up all my freshly combed hair."
When Xuan Mingtian placed his hand on Xiao Qingmei's head, she had already sensed his next move.
But because of the height difference and her physical disadvantage, even though she tried to shake off the other person's hand with both hands, it was to no avail.
"Little Qingmei, tell your big brother, why did you come all by yourself?"
Seeing the other party's actions, Xuan Mingtian became even happier.
"Hmph~ Aunt Xuan told me to come and call you. Also, I'll definitely tell her later that you bullied me."
"Clap~"
Upon hearing what the other person said, Xuan Mingtian slapped his forehead. He instantly remembered that his parents were supposed to come over that afternoon.
I just didn't expect them to be so quick.
"Okay, okay, Qingmei, don't be angry. Tomorrow, your big brother will just help you braid your hair. Is that alright?"
Upon hearing that he was going to tattle, Xuan Mingtian immediately tried to appease the other party in a polite and courteous manner.
Unfortunately, Xiao Qingmei remained silent. Moreover, her eyes kept darting back and forth. It seemed she was plotting something.
Although he couldn't guess what the other person was thinking, Xuan Mingtian still invited everyone to chat in the living room.
In no time, Xuan Mingtian led Xiao Qingmei by the hand, their chubby little hands bringing her into the living room.
Looking around, all I could see was a large living room. Many people were chatting there, but some of them, speaking with smiles on their faces, still conveyed a hint of worry.
That's right, these people are Xuan Mingtian's parents and relatives.
After all, no parent wouldn't worry about something this big.
