Pokémon: Legendary Pokémon Simulator, Starting with Arceus

Sakaki pondered, "You seem to be a researcher, how come you suddenly started a factory and seem to be doing quite well?"

Masato promptly explained, "Dr. Satoshi Ishida's research results have already been put to use, mainly in the areas of cost reduction and machine upgrades, which has been a great help."

...Funds were disbursed normally, and factory management was temporarily entrusted to Masato, with Dr. Satoshi Ishida holding shares.

"Forget about the shares. The factory was built with research funds anyway. I've already got the information I need, so you can arrange it however you like."

Sakaki said there were only two points: the research institute's funding needed to come from Team Rocket so that they could control it.

Satoshi Ishida wasn't the type to run a factory; he was better suited to doing research and couldn't afford to be financially independent.

Even though Sakaki trusted the other party, there were some principles he couldn't break.

Having received extensive education and watched numerous explanatory videos, Xiong Meng understood it perfectly.

But it doesn't matter if he takes it back; he didn't care anyway, as long as he could find a reason to get the data.

"The rewards will be plentiful, and you'll get the shares as you're due," Sakaki waved his hand and asked about the topic he was most concerned about.

"How's the research on the recent project going?"

"The results have been consistently good recently, especially in those factories. My current plan is to continue branching out research, accumulate experience, and then start the main research."

"It is estimated that we can begin research on life within six months to a year, and major results will emerge within three to five years overall."

Sakaki frowned and then put his hand down. Five years is not too bad, but there is still no hope of finding Apollo fossils, so the time is not too long.

"We'll talk about that when the first version comes out. We can improve and refine it later. You can arrange that yourself."

Xiong Meng was puzzled. "Hmm? There's no need for improvement in my plan. I'm going to directly research the most perfect state and start at the peak."

There's still so much research to be done. What a load of rubbish! He's only here for a few years, so he'll definitely bet everything on it.

What's the point of talking about what comes next?

"You can arrange it as you see fit." Sakaki meant that whatever made you happy was fine with him, since he wasn't going to interfere.

"The next report will be given every six months. Next, let's talk about something else: Dr. Satoshi Ishida's time working in Pallet Town."

The listless Xiong Meng sat up straight. This was a big deal; this was the schedule for his return vacation. He had to sit up straight.

"Actually, it's not very safe lately. We've recently made an enemy of a powerful figure, and it would be difficult to avoid danger outside."

Sakaki's first words made his heart skip a beat; it must be about Uncle Liu's matter before, which was indeed difficult to handle.

He didn't know what the situation was between the two of them, and if he insisted on bringing this up, it might actually be dangerous.

No, we need to find a way to test the waters. Since Sakaki didn't directly say we couldn't go, it means there's still hope.

"If the Rockets can't even hold Pallet Town, that's dangerous. Maybe I should stay put for now?"

"It's a pity that some research materials and data need to be delayed."

Xiong Meng used a feigned retreat, first expressing regret before asking, "How long will it take to get there? If it takes too long, it might waste time."

"For safety reasons, we can't go right now. Let's wait a few months," Sakaki suggested.

Xiong Meng pondered for a moment: "It's been a bit too long, Mr. Sakaki, could you shorten it?"

"For example, we can still have Nidoran follow us, just like before. Pallet Town is very close to Viridian City, and Professor Oak is there too, so we should be safe."

Sakaki shook his head. "I know what you're thinking, but we can't take the risk. You're important, Dr. Ishida."

In fact, based on previous communication, there is basically no danger. Moreover, there are many people watching Uncle Liu's place. It is possible to go, but it will take more effort to arrange it.

I've completely trusted Xiong Meng by now, and since he's the project manager, even though I could gain a lot from going to Zhenxin Town, it's still better to be cautious.

"Xiao Yin has been studying very well lately. It would be best to arrange a field trip for him now, preferably with an experienced person personally guiding him so that he can learn well from behind."

Sakaki: "...I haven't been doing too well lately, let's go next month."

"Xiao Yin still has a lot to learn. It would be best if someone could guide her through hands-on experiences, such as camping and picnicking, to help her understand people's thoughts."

Learn about the market in many places such as amusement parks and beaches...

"It's settled then, at least until next month. Contact me if there are any problems." Sakaki interrupted directly, looking at Masato, "Is there anything else on your end?"

"Yes, recently many members have suggested canceling the original living allowance from the Rockets, saying that their salaries are already sufficient."

Silence fell over the meeting room. Sakaki waved his hand and said, "Rebut them. The Rockets aren't short of money."

"Is there anything else? If not, you can go back now. Masahiro should go and hand over the factory duties."

After everyone left the conference room, Xiong Meng walked around and came back. He opened the door and saw that Sakaki was still sitting there.

"Is there anything else?"

"Ahem, I just wanted to ask about the specific schedule so I can be prepared."

"One to two weeks each month without affecting the project, but learning is important, the future is important, and you are important too."

He stated a precise time at the beginning, but then gave completely irrelevant information later on, but Xiong Meng understood.

It's just that as the eldest son, he needs to maintain his dignity. He can't just say he wants to spend time with his son directly. As long as Xiao Yin agrees to come, everything is negotiable.

He'd been explaining the basics for a week, and only two people had succeeded. What a proud old man!

"Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Sakaki."

After Xiong Meng finished speaking, he left the conference room. Sakaki looked at the empty conference room again and thought of the scene he had seen when he passed by the amusement park earlier.

A mix of complex emotions flashed in his eyes as he leaned back and disappeared into the darkness.

Xiong Meng left and went straight to Xiao Yin, calling her to sit down in the rest area outside.

"How have you been lately? Any problems with your studies?"

"Very good, the courses taught by all the teachers have been very meaningful to me."

"Do you know why I came to see you today?"

"I don't know, please tell me directly, teacher."

"Don't be so nervous. I just wanted to ask why you didn't go to Mr. Sakaki to learn from him."

Teacher, did that man send you to find me?

Little Silver was taken aback for a moment, then sighed in an old-fashioned manner: "I hate the Rockets, and I still do."

"I saw the members below stealing other people's Pokémon. I also saw the cruel behavior of Lance's executives, so I hate them."

Xiang Xiaoyin didn't know why she said these things. Maybe it was because Ishida Satoshi was really trustworthy, or maybe it was because Sakami's behavior before made her think differently.

Or perhaps he wanted to give him a chance, but his personality prevented him from taking the first step.

There's probably a bit of both reasons... After all, his father cares about him.

Xiong Meng was taken aback. So that was one of the reasons. But he felt that it was because Sakaki didn't have time to spend with his children, so he read a lot of comics, which led to his sense of justice. This, combined with what he saw, made him act this way.

But there was no need to say it, so she smiled slightly and said, "Go and see. If there's anything, just tell Mr. Sakaki directly. If you don't like it, just say so too."

"Go find out why they did it this way, understand the various reasons, and follow in Mr. Sakaki's footsteps."

Go find the answer yourself.
