Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

While Lu An was teasing Huizi's green onion duck and taking a direct hit from a meteor duck, a meeting was still in full swing at the Kanto Investigators' Headquarters.

After listening to Du's speech, the elders fell into a brief silence.

After their initial panic upon learning about the red orb, they calmed down and realized that what Du said actually made sense.

The Investigators are an organization dedicated to maintaining peace in the Pokémon world. They do not belong to any single league but possess international law enforcement powers.

This nature of the organization means that the investigators are full of talented individuals, all of whom are exceptionally skilled trainers.

However, this also presents a problem: the trainers of the Investigator Organization are always traveling to every corner of the world, carrying out countless dangerous missions.

The headquarters of the investigators actually has no absolute defenses.

After all, the investigators' organization doesn't have anything that would attract covetous attention. Even if the evil organization attacks its headquarters, it won't gain anything and will only incur the hostility of investigators worldwide.

In addition, the investigators also have to consider the ideas of the various alliances.

Our alliance has given you a place to stay so that you can do your work better, because we see that your investigator organization is indeed doing real work.

So, after you've secured a foothold, you've kept the investigators holed up in the base instead of going out on missions, quietly building up your strength. What are you planning to do?

Are they going to rebel against the alliance?

Therefore, the investigators have never deployed any absolute defensive facilities at the base.

If the red gem truly exists within the investigator's base, and someone with ulterior motives learns of it, someone might take the risk.

The Investigators cannot bear the responsibility for the lost red orb, or even for the potential awakening of Groudon.

So the group of elderly people remained silent for a long time, clearly somewhat persuaded by Du.

If the base is not suitable for storing the red gem, then placing it on Lu An might indeed be a good idea.

Although Lu An could be a bit of a scatterbrain at times, Lü Duan was not confused about important matters and was not the kind of person who would recklessly use the red pearl.

The long-haired old man, after a moment of contemplation, was the first to break the silence:

"Watari is right. Storing the red gem at headquarters does indeed carry some risk."

"Moreover, even the Hoenn Alliance, which took this matter the most seriously, failed to find the Red Orb from Lu An. Perhaps he really does have his own methods for protecting the Red Orb."

"I suggest that we recall Lu An, ask for his opinion, and then make a decision."

What do you all think?

After the long-haired elder made the suggestion, the other elders nodded and agreed to temporarily put the matter of the red pearl on hold.

Seeing that no one raised any objections, the long-haired old man changed the subject and said:

"In that case, let's discuss Lu An's other affairs in Hoenn, aside from the Red Orb. What are your thoughts?"

The long-haired old man looked at Qingyuan:

"Qingyuan?"

Qingyuan opened his mouth as if to say something, but then closed it again.

That Hei Ye, he really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics.

Can't you see he's not saying anything? Why bother talking to him?

Knowing full well that he had always disliked Lu An's lazy personality, why did he still insist on him saying something?

What could he say?

Does he know all along that Lu An's trip to Fengyuan would definitely cause a lot of trouble?

Or is Lu An just a jinx who brings trouble wherever he goes?

Or perhaps they'll bring up the matter of the red gem again?

This report details everything about Lu An's departure from Kanto, his journey to Hoenn, and his eventual return to Kanto, down to the smallest detail.

Lu An's trip to Hoenn was approved by them.

Under Watari's half-praising and half-intimidating tactics, they even issued Lu An a temporary identity certificate during his suspension, providing him with assistance in his operations in Hoenn.

The kid's actions were all in accordance with the investigators' code of conduct, without any overstepping of boundaries.

While treating his own Pokémon, he also captured several high-ranking members of Team Aqua and saved LavaCover Town's economic pillar—Mt. Chimney.

The residents of Fuyan Town, who were slow to realize what had happened, were so moved that they burst into tears when they learned that Lu An had defeated the Water Fleet and saved the town's economy.

Some people wrote him thank-you letters, some presented him with banners, and even a clever hot spring owner placed a stone statue of Lu An in his shop.

He claimed that Lu An felt that his hot spring was the only one of its kind in the world, and that he risked his life to protect his hot spring from running out of water.

The top salesperson is the top salesperson everywhere.

Aside from the residents of Fuyan Town's gratitude towards Lu An, Qingyuan could only discern two words from the report in his hand:

A great achievement!

Even Qingyuan could only grunt twice and mutter:

I have no opinion.

Bai Si, amused by Qing Yuan's humiliation, laughed for a while before speaking up:

"Ahem, Lu An's revival of the volcano is a great achievement. Although this was not a task assigned to him by the organization, it still deserves praise and recognition."

The other elderly people echoed this sentiment.

As high-ranking members of the Pokémon world, they know more than the general public.

Groudon and Kyogre, the two sleeping gods, could awaken at any time. If the Chimney Volcano were to cease activity, it could indeed affect the relationship between the land and the sea, thus causing the two gods to awaken.

If these two wake up, it's no joke.

From this perspective, Lu An's revival of the Smoke Volcano was an extraordinary achievement, and it is no exaggeration for someone to erect a monument in his honor.

Lu An himself was a bit lazy and didn't care much about such a reputation.

The organization has even temporarily put aside the matter of Lu An's private possession of the red pearl, so there's really no need to nitpick. Didn't you see that Qing Yuan is keeping quiet?

Seeing that everyone agreed with Bai Si's statement, Hei Ye nodded:

"Since everyone agrees that Lu An has made a great contribution, and considering his previous contributions in the Team Rocket incident in Lavender Town, I suggest that the two achievements be combined for a single reward."

Everyone looked up:

"Hei Ye, you mean?"

Hei Ye said:

“I recommend rescinding the previous disciplinary action against Lu An for unjustly assaulting M. Surge, the head of the Coral Leaf Gym.”

"Reinstate his status as an investigator and have him report back to the Kanto headquarters at a later date."

A sharp glint flashed in Hei Ye's eyes:

"And didn't we make progress on the Moltres ruins in Lavender Town?"

"I suggest that Lu An and Bai Ling cooperate to jointly take charge of that mission, track down the three legendary birds, and nip Team Rocket's conspiracy about the three legendary birds in the bud."

Everyone's expressions turned serious after the Rockets were mentioned.

If the Red Orb is merely a potential threat to the Alliance and the world, a benign tumor that has already been discovered.

Team Rocket is a malignant tumor that the Kanto region must take seriously and work hard to eliminate; it is an imminent enemy.

"agree."

"agree."

"agree."

It took almost no time for everyone to agree to Hei Ye's proposal.

Hei Ye looked at Du:

"Adu, if any unforeseen emergencies arise during the Three Sacred Birds' mission, you must also lend a hand."

Wearing a cloak, Yu Longdu relaxed his body, slowly leaning back in his chair, and nodded with a smile.

Will Bai Ling and Lu An cooperate?

Things are getting more and more interesting.
