Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

The flat-headed man folded his hands, clenched his fists and pressed them against his forehead, and said in a muffled voice:

"Why should we give it?"

As soon as these words came out, the others responded:

"Aller is right!"

"The money was taken by the 'pirates', what does it have to do with us?"

"And it's obviously exaggerated by who knows how much. It's just blackmail!"

Listen, George said coldly with a gloomy face:

"Why should we give it? Because Damaranch is ready to take action against us! If we can't pay the 2 billion, he will use this as an excuse to bring people to check Sinnoh's finances..."

After that, everyone fell silent.

Only George slammed the table again, his expression so gloomy that it could rival that of a ghost Pokémon.

"This is extortion! Blackmail!" the fat woman said angrily, "President, can't you negotiate with them and give them less?"

"You're going to discuss this with the president of the alliance?"

George scolded and snorted again.

Who doesn't know that this is blatant blackmail?

But their Sinnoh is really a mess. Unless they ask for help from those nobles who look down on others, they will not be able to compete with the General Alliance.

If Damaranchi can just bring a few old guys with him, he can wipe out this place.

“By the way, who are those pirates’ subordinates?” the fat woman asked in a sharp voice again.

As soon as the voice fell, the conference room fell into silence.

At this time, asking those pirates who their subordinates are is just trying to pass the buck. Whether to pay more or less, or even nothing, depends on how well they pass the buck.

The fat woman kept chattering:

"I never knew there was a pirate den in the south of Sinnoh, and I've never seen the money given by those pirates..."

A short, thin, bald old man interrupted sharply:

"Changyu! Did you not take the money from last time?"

"Oh, I didn't know the money you gave last time was sent by pirates... Didn't you say it was from a merchant group in the south?" Chang Yu narrowed his fat eyes and said sarcastically.

Two more people spoke up and responded:

"Yes."

"Yes, it's a merchant group from the south."

The bald old man was very angry.

When they were taking the money, these people were like weasels, but now they wish their tails could be cut off.

He stood up and shouted:

"I'm telling you, no matter if it's a merchant group or a pirate group, they will no longer exist! The jellyfish group mentioned in the Kanto document has been wiped out... but! The octopus and lobster have also lost contact... Think about it, there will be no more money from the South China Sea in the future!"

"Isn't there only one pirate group gone?" Chang Yu's face was full of astonishment.

The bald old man yelled:

"All gone! The informant's report also said that only one was killed, but I can't contact Octopus and Lobster. There must be something fishy about this incident. Who knows what's going on?"

The conference room was silent again.

Originally, they expected that Kikuko would negotiate with the octopus and exchange the passengers for money, and they could collect another sum of money. But the first report showed that no money was given, and a Pokémon doctor who appeared out of nowhere wiped out the Jellyfish Pirates.

Now the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the General Alliance is even using this as an excuse to blackmail us.

"So, the focus now is on that Pokémon Doctor who appeared out of nowhere!" The bald old man spoke first, "And aren't we supposed to investigate him and then give him a beating?"

George said in a muffled voice: "That doctor is probably a spy of the Alliance, possibly an investigator. He just went into hiding, what can we do?"

"I also suspect that this might be a trap specially set up by the General Alliance." Takata also echoed.

"Heh!" The bald old man laughed sinisterly, "I've investigated. That doctor is from Galar, not some spy of the Alliance. Oh, no, he may not even be a doctor now, but just a researcher."

Several people looked up at him.

The bald old man said again:

"That researcher's name is Wang Jin, he's from Galar, and the ship he was on was transferred there by Yamanashi using his connections."

"I have already found out his identity, and have contacted people inside Galar..."

"I'm sure no one wants to pay this much money, and the 'business group' in the South China Sea is gone. We can do this in two ways, starting with Wang Jin and Yamanashi!"

After listening to this, George straightened up and asked:

"Specifically? How do you get the money?"

"No!" The bald old man said slowly, "Yamanashi hasn't produced any research results in the past 20 years, but the 200 million research funds are fully allocated every year."

"But that was issued by the General Alliance?" Chang Yu interrupted subconsciously.

The old man waved his hands and said, "No matter who sent it, Yamanashi is in Sinnoh, and we have the right to investigate him! Then we can either force him to return the money, or ask him to ask Kanto to reduce the ransom..."

George suddenly realized: "We can also check on Wang Jin by the way!"

"That's right..." The old man nodded, "It's up to you, President, to do it. It has to be done as soon as possible!"

...

True Sand Town.

Yamanashi Research Institute.

"I, Yamanashi, embezzled research funds to satisfy my own desires? Do I have to be investigated for the institute's assets?"

Dr. Yamanashi's body was shaking as he looked at the document just issued by the Sinnoh League:

"Because we haven't produced any research results in the past twenty years!"

Deceiving too much!

What's the point?

Yamanashi wanted to throw this document in the face of the Sinnoh Alliance President and let the Sinnoh President personally lead the research to see if he could produce any research results in twenty years!

Hearing the sound, assistant Mingyao and Dr. Jiezilan came over to check.

Mingyao was the first to notice something was wrong and pointed it out:

"This is not a document that was drafted long ago. The date was today... and the content of the document does not conform to the format. It seems to have been hastily put together."

"Let's make a phone call and ask." Mustard Orchid said slowly, "Just ask those worms what their purpose is!"

"it is good!"

Yamanashi dialed the number directly.

"Om-"

The voice of Alliance President George came out slowly:

"Dr. Yamanashi, you don't have to try to bribe me. Your innocence will be proven by the investigators..."

"George! Stop trying to cover up the truth! Isn't that damn investigator one of yours?" Yamanashi shouted angrily.

George was silent for a few breaths, laughed a few times, and then said:

"I know you are trying to evade investigation by suspecting the Alliance, but the impartiality of the Alliance is beyond doubt. Moreover, we have already issued documents that show that there is a wanted criminal hidden in your institute! This is an indisputable fact, right?"

"Where did this wanted criminal come from?" The mustard orchid next to him felt a little offended and cursed directly: "George, you skunk, what are you spraying and barking at?"

"..."

George heard the voice of Mustard Orchid, and after a moment of silence, he suppressed his anger and explained:

"Dr. Mustard, I'm not talking about you. This matter has nothing to do with you."
