Chapter 143: The Official Debut of the "Pokémon Coexistence Organization"

A heavily guarded residence somewhere along the Seine in Paris.

Lin Dao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, gazing at the Seine River flowing outside.

Pikachu and Riolu were curled up on the sofa, taking a nap.

He held a multi-encrypted satellite communication device in his hand, with a live video feed of Shen Yu'er and Zhao Lan on the screen.

"That's the basic situation," Lin Dao reported concisely, detailing his meeting with the three core members of the "Pokémon Coexistence League" and Lia, as well as his observations and assessment of the organization.

"They are not political opportunists, but rather a group of pioneers who, amidst prohibitions and chaos, were chosen by Pokémon through their inherent goodwill and a sense of chance, and spontaneously banded together for mutual support. The organization includes idealists, persecuted individuals, prudent insiders, and the new generation of ancient families. The structure is loose, but the core cohesion is very strong. It's a practice of the ideal of 'genuine coexistence,' and—disappointment with some of the existing hypocritical systems."

On the other end of the screen, Shen Yu'er nodded thoughtfully, while the green vine snake beside her seemed to be listening as well.

"So, Lin Dao, you plan to—cultivate them into a French version of a Pokémon culture dissemination and development group?"

An organization deeply rooted in the community with pure ideals?

"It's not a complete copy, but the kernel is similar."

Lin Dao affirmed.

"Official collaborations build the skeleton and arteries, but the flesh and capillaries need such tissue to fill them. They are closer to the doubts, fears, and expectations of ordinary people; their experiences themselves are the best teaching materials." More importantly, Lin Dao's tone became more profound.

"No matter how the political situation in Gaul may fluctuate in the future, or even if official cooperation encounters setbacks, as long as this spark remains, the idea of ​​symbiosis will not be easily extinguished. It will become a bottom-up flame that is difficult for power to extinguish easily."

He turned his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the screen, and looked at Zhao Lan, who represented the official position.

"Sister Zhao, I plan to provide them with some technical support. Not top-secret technology, but some technologies that can genuinely help them stabilize their organization, improve their basic capabilities, and demonstrate our sincerity in cooperation. I've already sent you the list."

Zhao Lan quickly browsed the encrypted file she had just received on the other side of the screen.

As Lin Dao stated, most of the items on the list are indeed non-core technologies that China has already licensed to compliant companies. These include blueprints for a modified universal nutritional food mixing device, a highly efficient extraction process for basic healing medicine, and some publicly available Pokémon behavioral and basic medical data packages. Only one item stands out: a "Modular All-Terrain Assisted Riding Device (codename: All-Round Bike) Prototype Technology." This technology combines lightweight materials, solar-powered assistance, and a simple terrain adaptation system, making it quite helpful for trainers in outdoor activities. While not strategic-level, it is still a relatively high-tech product.

Zhao Lan pondered for a moment.

She understood Lin Dao's intentions: these technologies could enhance the cohesion and dynamism of the "Pokémon Coexistence Organization," enabling it to become an effective grassroots force more quickly, without excessively provoking the French government or triggering serious concerns about technology leaks. Especially practical products like the "all-purpose bicycle," once successfully promoted, would themselves be a testament to "Chinese technology supporting the development of Pokémon-related businesses in France," helping to solidify China's soft power and influence in this field.

"I've looked at the technology list," Zhao Lan said, raising her head with a sharp and steady gaze.

"Most of it is within the scope of authorization. The 'all-around bicycle' project requires a special evaluation, but there shouldn't be any major problems."

Your approach is forward-thinking; supporting a healthy, pro-our grassroots trainer organization as a strategic pillar aligns with our long-term interests. I will submit your analysis and suggestions in full. I believe the higher-ups will understand and support your strategy.

Lin Dao nodded slightly: "Thank you."

A few days later, at Place de la Concorde in Paris.

A large crowd had gathered under the makeshift stage.

The media area was packed with reporters from all over the world, their cameras and microphones pointed at the stage.

On the stage, Lin Dao used simple yet powerful language to explain the core concept of coexistence between humans and Pokémon, basic training knowledge, and once again emphasized the challenges and opportunities that may be faced in the future.

His words, translated simultaneously, were clearly heard by everyone.

However, what truly created the climax was not the entirety of Lin Dao's speech.

In the latter half of his speech, when discussing the themes of "trust" and "original intention," Lin Dao changed the subject.

"Ideas need role models, and trust begins with sincerity. Today, I would like to share the story of a friend and his partner, which may help everyone understand more intuitively what cross-species bonds are, and how these bonds illuminate the way forward in dark times."

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Davis, dressed simply and with a resolute expression, walked steadily from the side of the stage to the front, carrying his speaker.

The spotlight shone on Davis.

He took a deep breath and glanced at the various expressions on the faces below the stage.

There was curiosity, disdain, encouragement, and also a complex gaze from former "colleagues."

He didn't use flowery language, but began to tell his story in a slightly hoarse voice.

From a childhood love of nature to a passion for joining the Green Organization; from the joy of connecting with Master En through music to the disillusionment upon discovering the true nature of the organization's higher-ups; from that fatal betrayal and desperate counterattack to the despair of being forced to flee and burdened with guilt; and finally to being discovered and helped by the Roon family, gaining a new lease on life, and resolving to create a Pokémon Coexistence Organization—this is the journey of…

He displayed copies of some of the publicly available evidence, including financial records, secret communications, and forged documents that were used to accuse the former organization's top brass of illegal activities.

He did not mention the name of the powerful figure behind the scenes (this was a tacit understanding reached with the government and the Roon family), but it was enough to outline a clear trajectory of how an idealist struggles in the quagmire of hypocrisy and interests, is ultimately saved by his Pokémon partners, and finds true like-minded people.

"I used to believe in flags and slogans," Davis's voice echoed in the silent theater.

"Until my partner (he patted the Krillin next to him) and I saw what was behind the flag under the gun barrel. It was Krillin, my Pokémon partner, who gave me a second life and made me understand that true protection is not a lofty slogan, but an approachable gesture, selfless help, and unwavering support in times of crisis."

He looked down at the area where the members of the "Pokémon Coexistence Organization" were gathered. There was Mary's encouraging smile, Lia's clenched fist, and a group of faces that had also experienced hiding and insecurity, and were now finally able to stand tall.

"Many of us in the organization have similar stories. We're not heroes, just a group of lucky ordinary people chosen by Pokémon. We initially came together simply to prove to each other that we weren't crazy, that our partners weren't monsters. Later, we wanted to help more people like us who have gained Pokémon friendship through sincerity, so they don't have to experience the fear and isolation we went through."

He finally turned to Lin Dao and bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin Dao. Your arrival and your ideas have shown us that this path is not only correct but also has a bright future. We also thank the French government for finally opening its eyes to the goodwill and bonds that have been quietly growing on this land."

"Standing here today, I recount the injustices I have suffered in the past, and I accept the legal scrutiny that my partners and I have borne for everything we have done, including that forced retaliation. I have retained a lawyer and formally submitted supplementary evidence and an explanation to the judicial authorities. I believe the law will deliver a fair judgment."

Davis's autobiography is like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

The scene was initially deathly silent, but then erupted in enthusiastic applause, especially from members of the "Pokémon Coexistence Organization" and many ordinary citizens.

The flashes from the media area were almost continuous.

President Maclean's expression was complex as he stepped onto the stage.

He glanced at Lindau and Davis, then at the emotional crowd below, and finally spoke into the microphone.

"The law will deliver a fair judgment. But today, here on behalf of the French government, I hereby announce that the Pokémon Coexistence Organization is hereby granted provisional legal status and is permitted to operate publicly from this moment forward."

He paused, then added, "Mr. Davis, please go to the police station after your speech. I guarantee you will receive a fair trial."

The cheers almost lifted the sky.

Lin Dao walked back to the center of the podium and stood side by side with Davis.

"Mr. Davis's story teaches us a simple lesson."

"A future of coexistence with Pokémon cannot be built on lies, exploitation, or purely utilitarian calculations. It must be rooted in bonds of respect, understanding, and sincerity. The existence of the Pokémon Coexistence Organization is precisely the first fruit of this bond spontaneously growing in Gallic society."

He surveyed the entire room, his voice clear and powerful.

"I firmly believe that the wisdom and romance of Gaul are sufficient to embrace and nurture such fruits. The cooperation and support I am willing to provide are intended to help these fruits grow healthily and ultimately benefit all the open-minded lives on this land."

The speech ended with prolonged applause.

Davis's candid statement and the official launch of the "Pokémon Coexistence Organization" spread throughout Gaul and even the whole of Europe through the media.

This was not only a successful campaign to promote an idea, but also a clever political maneuver.

The "Pokémon Coexistence Organization" has moved from the "underground" to the "semi-public" stage, gaining the endorsement of Lindao and a certain degree of tacit approval from the Gaulish government.

The forest road's strategy of supporting grassroots health initiatives has thus taken a solid and transparent first step.

A vortex has formed, and all parties will have to reassess their positions and strategies.
