Chapter 396: Wusong, "The Experienced One"
Chapter 396: Wusong, "The Experienced One"
As Jinghe watched Daye's battle with Genji Tenno, or rather, as he witnessed Daye getting beaten up one-sidedly, a voice called out.
Jinghe turned towards the source of the voice.
It was none other than Kinoe King, the Sinnoh Region's Elite Four!
Hmm? Why is Kinoe King here on Genji Tenno's ship? Could it be...
Cough, cough.
"Kinoe King," Jinghe greeted with a smile.
"That Pokemon egg..." Kinoe noticed the Poke Egg that Charcoal Little Servant was holding, "...is it a Ground-Type Pokemon's egg?"
Jinghe couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. "How did you know, Kinoe King?"
"It's not that. I can tell it's related to a Ground-Type Pokemon by these stripes."
Jinghe sighed inwardly.
Why does it feel like the more unrecognizable it is, the more he can guess the Pokemon within?
"If you have any questions about raising Ground-Type Pokemon, feel free to ask me," Kinoe King said with a smile.
"Of course."
Although Jinghe already had Dr. Yuzuki's "Earth's Wisdom," Kinoe King must have her own specialties to become the Elite Four of the Sinnoh Region.
Kinoe King pursed her lips and, after a brief moment of contemplation, suddenly spoke, "Actually, we called you here today..."
Hmm?
Jinghe was taken aback.
Didn't Genji Tenno call him here? What does Kinoe King have to do with this?
"It's because we plan to establish the 'Sinnoh and Hoenn Joint Task Force Against Pokemon Hunters' group."
Such a long name.
"With my, Genji Tenno's, and Lila's suggestions, we want you to lead this 'Special Task Force.'"
"Me?"
Jinghe pointed at himself.
Why me?
No, I mean, what have I done to deserve this? Can't we find someone else?
Although Jinghe despised Pokemon hunters, he understood one thing—
As long as the market exists and the demand persists, it's almost impossible to catch all these hunters.
Kinoe nodded, "Our main target is the group of Pokemon hunters led by Hunter J."
Jinghe understood.
So, the target is specifically Hunter J's group.
Moreover, Jinghe himself had a significant "grudge" against Hunter J.
However, Jinghe decided to "struggle" a bit.
"I'm not an expert in this matter. Wouldn't you or Genji Tenno be more suitable?"
Kinoe smiled slightly, "My and Genji Tenno's involvement is too obvious."
Her eyes narrowed, and a hint of coldness flashed in her gaze.
"During the last operation, we had a meticulous plan, but they still managed to discover it in advance and slip through the cracks. You can probably guess the reason, right?"
There was a spy from Hunter J within the League's ranks! Or more accurately, it was the Crimson Sun and Team Galactic, who were still undercover at that time, providing cover for Hunter J.
Jinghe's identity, on the other hand, was relatively "clean."
Moreover, just a few days ago, he had meticulously planned to capture a group of Pokemon hunters, and there were no loose ends.
"So, you have the experience and the ability," Kinoe said.
Jinghe rubbed his temples, "Then I..."
He had originally wanted to say that Sharon and Da'ou would also be suitable.
But then he reconsidered.
It wouldn't be appropriate to involve Sharon.
Da'ou was his student, and it wouldn't be right for a teacher to pass on tasks to his students.
Moreover, Da'ou had just struggled to choose between being a Trainer, working for the Dew Company, or becoming a Rock Enthusiast. It would be better not to burden him further.
So, he said, "Wusong would also be suitable, right?"
Wusong, I'm sorry, Jinghe thought to himself.
Wusong was intelligent, meticulous in his thinking, and capable of taking action. He was undoubtedly a suitable choice.
Kinoe blinked.
"Wusong also recommended you."
Jinghe: "???"
No, do people at your level of high-end meetings involve Wusong and even take his suggestions?
Has he reached that level?
After Kinoe's explanation, Jinghe finally understood.
So, Wusong had mentioned that Kinoe wanted him for a task related to this matter.
But later, Wusong felt he wasn't capable enough and had no experience, so he recommended Jinghe to Kinoe.
That was the reason Kinoe had proposed Jinghe during the meeting.
"Fine, fine, Wusong, you're really something," Jinghe thought to himself.
"What about Miss Lila?" Jinghe persisted.
In terms of experience, rank, and position, Lila was much more suitable.
"Lila was indeed a very suitable choice, but recently, the International Police Strategy Department was established, and Lila became its head," Kinoe explained.
Jinghe: "..."
So, there's no one else?
The Kings have big ambitions, and Gym Leaders aren't that different. Among non-officials, there's Daye? Ah Liu?
Wow, it seems there really aren't many reliable options.
Kinoe smiled again and said, "Rest assured, in special times like these, I, Genji Tenno, and even others will follow your plans and commands."
Jinghe raised a hand, "I have one more question, as a Pokemon Academy..."
As he spoke, Kinoe also spoke, and their voices almost overlapped.
"And don't worry about the funding aspect either, right?"
"A teacher should shoulder more responsibilities. Pokemon hunters are an evil and deviant path, and everyone should eradicate them!" Jinghe's expression turned stern.
Kyonyu was deeply touched and spoke gently:
"If the League had more young Trainers like you with a strong sense of responsibility, I could retire early."
"King Kyonyu is just joking; you're not old at all!"
Kyonyu smiled at these words.
"Oh, right, you said there was one more question?"
After a brief pause, Jinghe quickly replied:
"It's like this, I am a teacher after all, and educating students is my duty. There will inevitably be times when I can't attend to everything."
"Hmm."
Kyonyu nodded, agreeing that they couldn't let Jinghe abandon her passion for education just for a mission.
But it was precisely because of this sense of responsibility that she was even more trustworthy.
"So, what do you want?"
"More people," Jinghe immediately responded.
"Alright!" Kyonyu waved his hand, "I think Daye and Ah Liu have a good relationship with you; they can help."
Jinghe: "???"
These two guys?
Jinghe took a deep breath and spoke sternly, "Then I'll need one more person!"
"Go on."
"Wusong!" Jinghe declared firmly.
Wusong and these two had to be paired up!
Otherwise, she'd truly become a nanny.
Jinghe acknowledged Wusong's abilities, and with him around, things would undoubtedly be much easier for her. Perhaps she could even be a semi-retired supervisor.
It's not because Wusong recommended him.
Hmm.
She's not the type to use her position for personal grudges.
"No problem," Kyonyu nodded.
After all, Wusong wasn't a Four King or a Gym Leader, so he didn't attract as much attention.
And to be honest, Wusong was genuinely useful.
Everyone who has used him agrees.
The matter was settled with just a few words between the two.
"The Sinnoh and Hoenn Joint Task Force to Suppress Pokemon Hunters," abbreviated as the "Special Suppression Task Force," was officially established!
Leader: Jinghe
Deputy Leader: Wusong
Tentative Members: Daye, Ah Liu
"Oh, right," Kyonyu remembered something else, "Jinghe, you're also participating in the Bellflower Tournament, right?"
"Will that change the attention you receive?" Jinghe asked.
"No," Kyonyu shook his head with a smile, "I'm just confirming. After all, who would've thought that a participant in the tournament would be the leader of the 'Special Suppression Task Force'?"
Indeed.
Kyonyu and Source were in the spotlight because of their status as Four Kings.
Jinghe nodded thoughtfully.
She had a strange feeling that something was off.
Kyonyu's smile on his face became more radiant.
This was undoubtedly a great opportunity for publicity.
"Achoo—"
Sinnoh, Waterway City, Waterway Library.
Wusong, who was leisurely reading a book while sipping coffee with his legs crossed, suddenly sneezed, which stood out in the quiet library, attracting many curious glances.
Wusong repeatedly apologized with his eyes.
He gently rubbed his nose.
"Strange."
Was he catching a cold?
Wusong stood up, took his book and coffee, and moved to a spot by the window. The warm sunlight streaming through the window caused him to squint.
Perfect~
Kyonyu had entrusted him with a task, and now he would pass on the subsequent tasks to the reliable Teacher Jinghe.
Just thinking about the leisurely life ahead made Wusong feel...
The world was so wonderful~
"Oh, right."
Wusong took out his phone and swiftly blocked Daye and Ah Liu.
When he saw Sharon and Jinghe's contact information, he couldn't help but shudder.
Forget it, the price of blocking these two was too high.
But this was enough.
He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and smiled.
"What a wonderful afternoon."
On King Source's sailboat.
"Here, this is what you're reimbursing."
After a refreshing battle, Source, feeling refreshed and in high spirits, handed over a package.
"Hngga~"
Gramps opened his mouth and immediately swallowed the package, then gave Source an "OK" gesture.
Source laughed heartily; he really liked Gramps and Jinghe's straightforward personalities.
"But, Jinghe, next time, tone down these reimbursement forms a bit; otherwise, I really can't explain it to Bonnie."
Source patted Jinghe's shoulder and spoke with a heavy heart.
Jinghe looked at the old King with suspicion.
Although he hadn't bought himself a single piece of clothing, his reimbursement forms were all justified.
Entering volcanic lava and reimbursing for clothing seemed reasonable, right? After a brief pause, Jinghe nodded seriously.
"Ninety-one."
Source's expression turned solemn.
"Seventy-three."
"Eighty-two, or I won't do it."
"Deal!"
The Hoenn League had Dew Company as a major taxpayer, and in the entire Pokemon world, only the Kanto League could rival them, right?
"Let's go; I'll send you to Sinnoh!"
King Source was in an even better mood and waved his hand.
"Hngga?!"
Gramps was startled by the sudden appearance of a figure beside him.
Who are you?
"I'm, Daye."
Gramps shook his head repeatedly.
"Hngga!"
Nonsense! Daye isn't as handsome as you!
