Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

"Humph!"

Mustard Orchid snorted coldly and did not respond.

Yamanashi also suppressed his anger. He knew clearly that the other party was talking about Wang Jin.

But although Wang Jin escaped from Galar, there was no announcement from Galar. Why do they say Wang Jin is a wanted criminal?

Slander! Slander!

"Our Yamanashi Research Institute has not embezzled a single cent of Alliance Coin's research funds, and there are no wanted criminals in the institute!"

Yamanashi said this in a decisive tone, with a very firm attitude.

There was no way he would admit to these unfounded things.

"Dr. Yamanashi, you don't want the Yamanashi Research Institute to be closed for investigation, do you?" George was not worried at all, and was confident of victory: "Also, is the scientific research conference you've been thinking about about to start?"

Yamanashi's expression froze.

He didn't expect that George, the president of the Sinnoh League, would be so despicable. Not only did he come and shout at him with some fictitious facts, but he even threatened him in person with the Scientific Research Association!

Yamanashi's expression changed from cloudy to bright before he spoke again:

"George, how much do you want?"

"hehe......"

George chuckled and said:

"Two billion alliance coins!"

"Where can I get so much money?" Yamanashi almost jumped up and shouted, "Even if I sell the entire Yamanashi Research Institute, I still can't get that much money!"

"Humph!" George showed no mercy, "This is the number Kanto demands! Either pay the money or disband the Yamanashi Research Institute!"

"impossible!"

Yamanashi cursed:

"You beasts are worse than Dalubi! George, I fucking ......"

Jiezilan grabbed Yamanashi's white coat and snatched the phone.

"Hey, Sinnoh-guildmaster, huh?"

"What can I do for you, Dr. Mustard?" George's tone was unusually relaxed.

Mustard Orchid said coldly: "I know your goal is to settle the amount demanded by Kanto, but those pirates are all your people! Can you blame the Yamanashi Research Institute for such a thing?"

George sat up straight and retorted, "Don't slander us. How can we know any pirates? There is just a wanted criminal hiding in the Yamanashi Research Institute... I heard that he killed many people in the Triangle Sea!"

"They are just a few pirates. Did they become good citizens with the president's secret promise?" Jiezilan said sarcastically in a long tone.

"Hehe..." George did not respond directly, but changed the subject: "I also heard that Wang Jin stole several very precious Pokémon in Galar, as well as two very precious ancient items..."

Kaizilan frowned and looked at Yamanashi.

Yamanashi was also confused and shook his head.

"There has been no official notification from Galar." replied Mustard Orchid.

"It's only been a few days, maybe it will be soon?" George insisted, "As long as you find a way to solve the 2 billion extortion from Kanto, the Galar officials will certainly not notify anything, and the Yamanashi Research Institute will be safe."

"I don't believe Wang Jin is that kind of person!" Yamanashi snatched the phone again and started to curse, "George, I'm telling you, if you want to investigate, just come and investigate! You've been acting like a grandson in the scientific research community for more than 20 years. Do you really think I'm a clay figurine?"

"..."

There was silence on the other end of the line, obviously not expecting Dr. Yamanashi to be so tough.

In fact, it’s not that Yamanashi is tough, it’s just that he can’t come up with the money and can’t solve the 2 billion problem.

Two billion Alliance coins!

As soon as he heard it, he knew that the headquarters was deliberately making things difficult for those people from the Sinnoh Alliance. No matter how stupid Yamanashi was, he would not go against the headquarters. What's more, his and the research institute's safety actually had nothing to do with these guys from Sinnoh. The headquarters was the key point.

As long as there is no problem with the General Alliance and the relationship between Yamanashi and Dr. Oki is fine, even if the research institute is temporarily investigated, it can be restored quickly.

The consequence is that Yamanashi might be tarnished and will never be able to make a comeback in the scientific research community.

But things have come to this point, and it doesn't really matter to Yamanashi whether he can turn things around or not. As long as Wang Jin is saved and the General Alliance is relied upon to get rid of those bastards in Sinnoh, Yamanashi feels it is worth it.

A desperate atmosphere spread over the phone.

"If you have any specific questions, we can talk about it in person."

At this time, George was neither anxious nor slow:

"Professor Yamanashi, we'll be waiting for you here at the League. Remember to bring the Galar Pokémon 'Doctor' with you! We'll start tomorrow morning! If he doesn't show up, news of corruption at the institute and wanted criminals will spread throughout Sinnoh within a day."

"Om-"

Without waiting for Yamanashi's reply, George hung up the phone.

"Too deceiving!"

Yamanashi really wanted to smash the communication device in his hand into pieces.

All in all, it’s because Yamanashi’s status in the scientific research community is too low. It’s so sad that he has achieved nothing after twenty years as a doctor!

Anyone who doesn't know Yamanashi would definitely be suspicious of him after hearing the conspiracy theory about embezzlement of scientific research funds.

You have a PhD, but you haven't produced any scientific research results in 20 years!

Does this sound like a word?

Could it be that she took the money from the mistress to do scientific research?

"Yamanashi, take a break and relax."

Mustard Orchid's expression was exceptionally calm. After taking the communication device, she said:

"Call Zhulan and Wang Jin back first."

......

"In a hurry?"

Wang Jin walked on the main street of Zhuqing City, holding two Pogamon in his arms and biting a popsicle, and said vaguely:

"Okay, okay, Dr. Mustard, I understand."

He immediately hung up the phone, bit the popsicle into pieces and swallowed it, spit the flat wooden stick into the trash can next to him, and then pulled Zhulan to run towards the parking spot.

"Boga!"

"Boga boga!"

The two Pogo sticks transformed by Little A and Little G stared with their eyes wide open, their gazes glued to the puff shop not far away, and their two round blue heads couldn't help but look back and up.

Unfortunately, the puff shop is getting farther and farther away.

"What happened?" Zhulan asked hurriedly.

Wang Jin and she arrived at the parking spot, and as they got into the car, the two Pogamon disappeared. Wang Jin also briefly explained the situation in the passenger seat.

After that, Zhulan didn't waste any more words and drove onto the street and started speeding up.

If we must defeat the Sinnoh Alliance tomorrow, we have to set off at noon today. Time is very tight!

...

The off-road vehicle quickly returned to the Yamanashi Research Institute.

Mingyao greeted Wang Jin and the other person and brought them to the hall where Yamanashi and Dr. Jiezilan were.

"This should be a spur-of-the-moment extortion!" Wang Jin sat on the sofa with a frown on his face, and said, "I'm afraid they are already making some moves. They will probably show their true colors tomorrow, using threats and negotiations."

"Ugh......"

Dr. Yamanashi sighed in frustration, thinking back on how helpless he had been over the years. He never expected that the signs of success that had just begun to emerge would be suppressed again.

Zhulan remained silent, but Jiezilan looked directly at Wang Jin and asked:

"Wang Jin, I'm actually very confused."

She paused:

"You should know what I'm going to say. Wang Jin, you need to explain the situation in Galar clearly, right?"
