Pokémon: Shadow of the Dawn

"Has Groudon been dealt with perfectly?"

At the Caiyou City Alliance Headquarters, Zfuchi Mujin, who was sitting in the Alliance President's office, kept repeating this sentence. He slowly put the phone on the table before suddenly standing up.

Mu Jin's mind went blank for several minutes. After she came to her senses, she could no longer suppress her excitement and paced back and forth in the office.

"Guraldo was dealt with, and the Glazed People were dealt with as well... the bet was won."

Zfuchi Mujin looked at everything in the office of the Alliance President, with a helpless expression on his face. He stood in front of the wall covered with soft red silk behind his desk, gently stroking it and muttering:

"Father, Grandpa... I am going to be the leader of the alliance, the leader of the Hoenn region alliance... From now on, the entire Hoenn..."

Halfway through her speech, Mu Jin's expression suddenly changed as she suddenly remembered that there seemed to be someone above her head.

The nominal owner of Devon Company is not the Zfuchi family. And the strongest trainer in the entire Hoenn is not someone that the Zfuchi family can control and deal with.

Thinking of this, Zifuqi Mujin suddenly calmed down, and his original excitement disappeared. He slowly sat back in his seat, took out his cigar, took a slow puff, and thought about what to do next.

"Jingle Bell--"

Mu Jin picked up the phone and it was Daigo calling.

"Father..." Daigo's tone was a little complicated, "I heard that Groudon has already..."

"That's right." Mu Jin's voice turned cold and stern, "But these things have nothing to do with you. How is your Metagross training going?"

“…It’s okay.” Daigo didn’t want to talk about this kind of thing.

"Your mission is to train and become stronger! We have so many resources and time! Come back and report to me when you have a team of champion-level Pokémon!" Mu Jin gave the order, and then suddenly remembered something and said, "Also, you have to participate in the next Kanto Trainer Conference, so hurry up and prepare!"

Daigo was stunned for a long while. He also knew the importance of the Kanto National Conference and the Quartz Conference in the near future. But the Groudon incident had just happened, and he didn't expect his father to be so indifferent, but in the end he could only reply: "Yes..."

After hanging up the phone, Zifuchi Mujin let out a long breath and sighed:

"It would be nice if Daigo was the one who actually solved the Groudon incident."

But he also knew that this was simply impossible.

Although Daigo has good talent, he has been able to reach his current level mostly due to the power of Devon. Without the Metagross and a large amount of resources collected by Devon, Daigo would probably be just one of the common people.

Compared to the Galar champion who had such courage and strength at such a young age, the gap was far greater than what could be seen with the naked eye.

Mu Jin was standing by the window, exhaling smoke and thinking, when there was a knock on the office door.

An old secretary came in and bowed slightly to report: "Mr. President, the Four Heavenly Kings have returned..."

"I know." Zifuqi Mujin waved her hands impatiently without turning around: "Wang...Where is Wang Guanjun? He is the main contributor this time, where is he?"

The old secretary remained silent and just stepped aside.

A few breaths later, Wang Jinbian strode into the spacious office, looked around briefly, and then waved to the old secretary:

"You go down first."

When Zfuchi Mujin heard the voice, his body shuddered. He quickly put out the half-burned cigar in his hand and threw it into the trash can, then turned around and walked over.

"President! I'm always looking forward to your coming..."

Mu Jin rubbed her palms, smiling, and stepped aside to the Alliance President's desk, inviting him to shake hands:

"President, please..."

"You don't have to be like this." Wang Jin had no expression on his face, and he showed no emotion at all towards Mu Jin's probing. He just patted Mu Jin's shoulder and said, "This is your seat. Just sit down and relax."

Zifuchi Mujin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and leaned against the desk to ask respectfully: "President, do you have any instructions for the future plans?"

Wang Jin stood by the window, pondering in silence.

Solving the Groudon incident this time will greatly increase his prestige in Hoenn. In addition, he will arrange for Mikoli to publicly confess his guilt first...some of the previous negative impacts in Shuijing City will also disappear without a trace.

He originally wanted to run Hoenn as a base camp, but having a research institute and a hunter guild was far from enough. After all, he still had a strong Galar label on him. These labels were the foundation of his past, but they were also a kind of bondage.

"Galar will be open soon. It should be after Professor Oak releases his research results... Galar is now very famous among many trainers..."

Zifuqi Mujin was a little confused and asked carefully, "What do you mean?"

Wang Jin turned half his body to the side, looked at the pictures of past champions and presidents on the wall and asked, "The president of the alliance doesn't say anything... there doesn't seem to be any restrictions on holding the title of champion concurrently, right?"

Mu Jin suddenly understood and said excitedly, "I understand, I understand! Devon Company will immediately mobilize public opinion throughout Fengyuan. I guarantee that you will see the documents requesting the appointment of the champion within two days!"

"Just be natural and don't be so deliberate." Wang Jin said with a faint smile, "I plan to stay in Hoenn for a while... When the time is right, Daigo will take over the championship position."

"Hibiscus, what do you think?"

Zifuqi Mujin's breath was choked, and he felt cold all over, as if he had been seen through. He even felt that Wang Jin was listening to him when he called Daigo before.

The Zfuchi family completely controls Hoenn, in the three aspects of president, champion, and enterprise... This is something that two generations of Zfuchi family heads have failed to achieve.

Mu Jin had already given up most of her efforts on this goal.

If Wang Jin did not show up, the president and champion of the Hoenn League would never be the Zifuchi family's turn. The Zifuchi family would at most be a high-level employee in the league.

Everything is different now.

Wang Jin actually promised the championship position early on, and he promised it to the Zfuchi family!

Whether it was just a big promise or a tentative attempt, Zifuqi Mujin had a strong desire. But the more he wanted it, the less he could express it so clearly.

What if Wang Jin was just speaking casually, and after discovering the Zvochi family's ambitions, he directly tried to dismember Devin and then replaced him with a new alliance president... then everything would be over.

No one will voluntarily give up the power in their hands, and no one will be completely at ease with power that they cannot control.

Hibiscus didn't dare and couldn't believe that the Galar champion in front of her would have such kindness.
