Pokémon: Legendary Pokémon Simulator, Starting with Arceus

Chapter 178 Talented People in a Small Place

The others looked at Xiong Meng with surprise and envy. He must be doing something important to be here.

Being alone with the Dragon Champion and such.

so envious!

Xiong Meng was also surprised when his name was called, and then walked to the small business class room in front.

After entering, he didn't rush to speak. He asked the flight attendant to prepare snacks and drinks, and then spoke after closing the door.

Long Guanjun looked at Xiong Meng, who was casually lying on a chair opposite him, without the slightest bit of tension.

"I thought you'd be very nervous, but I didn't expect you to be more relaxed than me."

"Ahem, it's just a habit." Xiong Meng struck a pose. He had done it like this before when he met Boss Sakaki, so it was just a subconscious habit.

"But that's fine too, then just say what's on your mind." Long Guanjun waved his hand to indicate that it was alright, then his expression turned serious.

"Actually, half the reason I came here is because of you, after all, you occasionally pull out some strange and good stuff."

"This is something the higher-ups value very much."

"Given the current situation with the cherry blossoms, it's quite dangerous, so I'm leading the team this time."

Xiong Meng was puzzled. "If the situation is dangerous, wouldn't it be better to just refuse? There's no need to come, is there?"

"That's normal, and many schools do refuse, but Harbin University, as the official leader, has no reason to refuse."

Long Guanjun slammed his hand on the chair. "If we all refuse, isn't that just being afraid? Are we afraid of them?"

His expression exuded absolute confidence, and as he spoke, the sense of oppression suddenly intensified as if a dragon's roar had been heard; his tone was at the pinnacle of dominance.

Although Dragon Champion is very domineering and does indeed get people excited, what does that have to do with calling him here?

"Ahem, I've gone off-topic for a moment. Let's get back to the main point."

"Although you're a freshman, you're a special case, so Harbin University has applied for an increase in your freedom."

The Dragon Champion's somewhat helpless explanation was that this was a special case, and everyone had to be together there, except for the designated locations and times, and stay in the hotel.

But Xiong Meng is different. His identity is too special. The good stuff in his file, his high interest in cherry blossoms, and at the very least, the personal strength of a king.

After the application was submitted, the higher-ups actually approved it. Now they've called him in to find out in advance what the other party wants to do.

Let's discuss the details now.

Xiong Meng understood immediately, and then pulled out the magazines he had been reading these past few days, which explained how to challenge a dojo in the shortest amount of time, and how to say and do things in the most infuriating way.

After receiving the package, Long Guanjun looked at the process and nodded. "Yes, it's definitely a good product, and the timing is also very well arranged."

"Well, this might work under normal circumstances, but not this time. You can only move around in the cities you've arrived in this time."

"Hey! Can't we go to another city?"

"No, you can't stay out overnight. You have to come to my place tonight."

Xiong Meng was even more surprised. Are cherry blossoms managed so strictly now?

"Sigh, the main problem is that this situation is too special. Why don't you summon a Porygon? We need their cooperation this time."

Upon hearing the other party call out, "Polygonus 2 flew out of the phone,"

ww

.

Long Guanjun took out a piece of paper and placed it on the table. "Comrade Polygonus 2, we need your coordination this time. This is an instruction from the military."

After saying that, he looked at Xiong Meng and said, "Normally you have no reason to know this, but to prevent you from acting impulsively without knowing, and given that you are an honorary major, I will make an exception and allow you to know some things this time."

"Comrade Polygon Beast 2, link the military's special document, Sakura Region Document No. 1, and present it in paper report format."

"ww!" After returning to the phone, Polygon 2 reappeared, bringing with it a document.

After opening and reviewing the report, he handed it over, saying, "Here, you'll understand after reading this."

The report details the recent situation in Sakura. After a quick glance, Xiong Meng summed it up in one word: chaos, utter chaos. Several factions have emerged in Sakura: the original official alliance organizations and their successor families, families now vying for power, ordinary people caught in the crossfire due to various events, and even delivery companies trying to take advantage of the chaos.

The small island nation now has four powerful factions, and none of them are weak. The original alliance was originally the top power, and the faction that wants to take power cannot be weak either. The ordinary people are not strong, but they are numerous, and it seems that they are organized.

As for the external forces involved, the fact that they can fight them is certainly not insignificant.

Good heavens, this is a battle of heroes!

"The place is in chaos right now, and the people who invited you are former members of the Alliance family. Why do you think they would contact us under these circumstances?"

When it comes to outstanding individuals and champions, we admire them and want to nurture them. It's perfectly fine to talk about their military rank.

Xiong Meng blurted out, "What else could it be? It's either helping or taking advantage of you."

Long Guanjun: "...That makes sense, but could you be more specific?"

"To be more specific, let me think."

.

"There are four forces. The outsiders are just looking to take advantage, and for now, they're all hiding in the background, so we don't need to worry about them."

"The coalition families that want to come to power may seem like the biggest threat, but in reality, their interests are intertwined, so they are not so scary."

"That leaves only those ordinary people who don't have absolute strength but are numerous. Families that have always controlled top-tier resources can handle them, but everyone outside is watching, and there are two other rivals on the side."

"In addition, it does have many problems of its own, and it was at a disadvantage in the public opinion field from the beginning. It wanted to deal with it directly but could not."

"If it were me... if I wanted to deal with it, I would first shift the focus. I've definitely been working on that."

But the results aren't good right now.

"If this doesn't work..." Xiong Meng thought of what he had seen on the internet in his previous life, "First, find a legitimate reason to suppress them. As long as you gain the slightest advantage from any angle, use resources to expand rapidly, even if it's fake, it's real."

"Now that we have a reason for dealing with the opponent, the next step is to appease the other two. How do we appease them? Dealing with ordinary people is the best resource."

"And if we want to find a reason, it's nothing more than internal or external. Now that there's no hope inside, that leaves the outside... the powerful Donghuang, which has always been our hypothetical enemy."

"If something unexpected happens while participating in the friendly match, or if someone does something outrageous and gets embroiled in media controversy, then with various subsidies and other measures in place, the situation can usually be resolved."

"After that, we'll push a few people out to take the blame, and then pretend to be honest people for a while. There's a good chance the matter will pass, and then we can deal with it separately to resolve it effectively."

Looking at Xiong Meng muttering to himself, Long Guanjun across from him gasped. "What's wrong with you, kid? Did you experience something outside yourself?"

Because of the existence of Pokémon, many things in this world have not been experienced or developed. In terms of war, only the Eastern Empire has a long history and has not destroyed much, so it has a lot of experience. However, this situation is definitely not as strong as the one-sided development of the previous life.

Therefore, Xiong Meng's move can be described as astonishing. Although he was just following the advice given by a netizen who used to talk nonsense in his previous life, the specific situation still needs to be analyzed.

"Hmm... But as the head of the regional government, these are things that can certainly be thought of. There's no need to overthink such trivial matters; with that kind of scale, everything can be easily resolved."

"I feel that the problem hasn't been solved yet because some of the people involved are too stupid, or there's probably some conflict of interest preventing us from doing this or something."

Xiong Meng left himself some leeway, carrying his thoughts from his past life with him. He believed that the official team could certainly think of what everyone on the internet could think of, and there must be various reasons why they hadn't done it.

"Hmm...you're right." Long Guanjun nodded seriously.

"So you know the situation now. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, you'll be staying in the city where you live at most. I'll arrange for you to stay alone, but you'll have to report where you go."

"Okay, but what I'm more curious about is, given that we've been anticipating all the possibilities, why did we absolutely have to come?"

"There are two aspects to this: first, perfection is not a problem; second, everything has two sides."

Long Guanjun smiled, walked to the window, and looked at the scenery below. "So, I've come."

Xiong Meng didn't ask any more questions. No wonder the champion was brought to the friendly match; it turned out there was another mission involved.

I went to the window to keep them company, and after what seemed like an eternity, Sakura Island came into view.

The road from the volcano to the sea, the icebergs floating in the near sea, and the vast ruins clearly visible from the plane.

Everything was so conspicuous.

"Hmm? How much time has passed, and it's still not clean?"

"Dealing with things that require money, and now that there's trouble, money is a resource, so who would misuse it?"

Long Guanjun suddenly remembered what happened in Europe some time ago, and sneered a few times, "Heh, a bunch of capitalist trash."

Xiong Meng nodded repeatedly, it seemed that no matter where you were, capitalist garbage was of no use.

It's been over a month since this massive disaster, and the site still hasn't been cleared. No wonder ordinary people are banding together; how could this be resolved without teamwork?

The plane landed quickly in its designated area, where everything was clean and tidy, a stark contrast to the disaster scene we had just witnessed from above.

"Get ready to go down. Everyone follow behind me and don't talk nonsense for now. We'll talk after the rooms are arranged."

After Long Guanjun finished speaking, he gestured for the flight attendant to open the door. Everyone else was curious about what Xiong Meng had talked about inside, but it was not appropriate to ask Long Guanjun here.

After the door opened, a short man in a kimono with a small mustache came over, his tone full of joy.

"Haha, dear Donghuang, hello to all of Ha Da's friends, we've finally been waiting for you."

Xiong Meng frowned. No, too innocent. He felt something within his soul awakening, and a strange urge to punch someone creeped in.

No, why do you feel so uncomfortable when you say the other person is a human being?

Moreover, the emotions the other person conveyed were so upsetting. I can't watch anymore, it's getting worse the more I watch!

"One of the Four Heavenly Kings of Cherry Blossoms, Lord Kotori, I didn't expect it to be you who came to welcome me. It seems that the person guarding this place is very important."

The other person paused, looking slightly embarrassed, but still managed a smile. "Haha, after all, you are a distinguished guest from Donghuang."

Of course, you should remain polite.

"Come, come, the hotel is all arranged, please follow me."

As he led the way, he turned around and noticed Xiong Meng looking around. A look of contempt and anger flashed in his eyes.

It seems that the people from Harbin University aren't very polite either. They don't even have the most basic manners when facing someone stronger. They're really terrible at this.

And they're all so arrogant, it's really inappropriate. Our cherry blossom region does a much better job in this regard!

Watching the dwarf's back, Xiong Meng's displeasure reached its peak. He walked to Long Guanjun's side and activated his wave guide.

[Dragon Champion, can I beat up the guy in front of me?]

The voice suddenly appeared in my mind, but I didn't react except for a brief pause; my expression remained unchanged.

[What? Can you tell me?]

I can sense that the other person went a bit too far emotionally.

If it weren't for the fact that waveguides can transmit emotions, he would definitely make Dragon Champion feel it!

{I agreed in principle, but the other person is an Elite Four member and has two Elite Four Pokémon, although they only had one Elite Four Pokémon with them due to a mission to protect this place.}

But after all, he's an Elite Four trainer; it's still too dangerous. Besides, we don't know when he'll rest, when he'll be ready to attack, how he'll attack, or how we can escape.

[Oh! It seems your Porygon2 can do all that, and the other side doesn't even know we have Porygon2. You absolutely can't let Porygon2 hack the network and then escape directly to the hotel.]

This place is already chaotic enough; if a network problem occurs, there's absolutely no way to solve it. As students participating in a friendly match, we can't afford to do that.

{Oh, right, I was just talking to you about the private room. Since you're capable and quick-thinking, you'll be in the innermost room, and I'll be in the outermost. Please take care of me if anything happens.}

"Haha, I'm sorry, due to our special circumstances, we really don't have a private hotel. Please bear with us, Long Guanjun."

Little Bird led everyone to a large hotel, but there were still many passersby walking around, indicating that it was still open for business.

When someone arranges this kind of situation with someone they meet so casually, who would believe they don't have any ulterior motives?

"No problem, arrange the rooms, but we only need one floor and no one else can stay here."

"Well...that's true now..." Little Bird said somewhat vaguely.

"If we can't even do that, let's just stay at the embassy. There are plenty of rooms there."

Upon hearing Long Guanjun's words, a flash of anger crossed Xiao Niao Jun's eyes. Damn it, they're using this to intimidate him.

"Haha, no need, no need, I'll talk to the hotel right away and arrange something even if they don't have it!"

"Please wait a moment, Dragon Champion, I'll be right there."

Little Bird ran to the front desk with a fake smile and asked questions in a pretentious manner, but Xiong Meng understood everything clearly in the waveguide.

{Arrange one floor for this building, leaving the top and bottom floors empty. Don't ask any more questions; it's useful.}

{The money stuff should have been covered above, so I won't go into detail. Let's get started. I'll go over there later to give those yellow dogs a piece of my mind.}

Haha, sometimes that's just how it is. If I don't go, would they dare come in? Haha, so what if they're champions? They still have to wait patiently outside!

"Yes, that's what they said," Xiong Meng whispered to Long Guanjun beside him.

Heaven is watching. He was prepared to listen to it himself, but Long Guanjun came over and asked him to pass on the message. This was his superior, a lieutenant general, so how could he dare not do it?

"Hehe~" Long Guanjun didn't say anything, just chuckled coldly twice.
