Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

After all, we are all professional electricians, and we have some emergency experience on how to deal with this kind of situation.

Of course, to fully recover, you naturally have to go to the Pokémon Center for a check-up, but that’s a story for another time.

Watching the unconscious workers wake up one by one, the work became easier with more manpower. They worked together to move out the other workers who were more seriously unconscious. Magneto, who had been knocked unconscious before, also recovered and came to help.

As for the naughty bullet, the situation is more troublesome. Although it seems to have recovered, it used the big explosion and blew itself up. Fortunately, Lowe still has a few healing sprays in his hand, which is enough to deal with the emergency for the time being.

A group of people here hurriedly gathered everyone up, while Lowe, Tiexuan and Liliae walked towards the door that had been forced open.

"Where exactly does this lead to?"

After stepping through the door, I discovered that it was a road that went down continuously, and it seemed like a passage leading underground. But why would such a passage be in the power station in Zijin City?

"This place was originally part of the development plan of Zijin City, but it has been abandoned for more than ten years..."

Old man Tiexuan responded calmly, and Lowe sighed in his heart, "As expected."

Liliae on the side was quite puzzled, "Is there a reason for the abandoned development plan?"

Mr. Tiexuan was frank and smiled calmly and answered, "I have said it before, right? Regarding the power station, there have always been rumors that we are actually exploiting Pokémon to work. I have also said that this situation is now a pure false accusation, but it is not completely unprecedented. Our development plan did have a not-so-glorious experience..."

And all of this is part of this disgraceful experience...

When they reached the end of the tunnel, there was a pitch-black shaft leading all the way underground. There was an elevator parked next to it that seemed to have not been used for a long time. After checking the condition of the elevator, Grandpa Tiexuan called his self-destructing Magneto to fly over.

"The elevator is broken, let's take Magneto down first..."

"Um……"

Lowe reached out and took Liliae's hand, but the latter didn't react much and let Lowe hold her hand and lead her to the back of Magneto.

As for the Pokémon, they were naturally temporarily stored in the ball to ensure that the load was reduced as much as possible... After all, Magneto was not a professional riding Pokémon...

After the three of them were seated firmly, the self-destructing Magneto went all the way down...

"…The original development plan for Violet City was to build two parts, above ground and underground. The above ground was the urban area, and the underground was the factory area. Electric Pokémon and geothermal energy were used to continuously generate energy. However, this plan was later stopped."

"...If we do this, it will cause considerable damage to the local ecology, right?"

Lilia blurted out the answer subconsciously, and Tiexuan glanced at her and couldn't help but sigh, "That's right, you actually hit the point right away, that's amazing~"

"Ahahaha, what a coincidence..."

Liliae quickly turned her head away. She was able to guess it right away because she was the little princess of the Aether Foundation and had received various environmental education since she was a child. Naturally, she was extremely sensitive to this.

Therefore, when she heard Tie Xuan simply mention it, she immediately realized the problem.

"The development of the underground area has completely ignored the local ecological environment. Just as this young lady said, the development plan is very radical. It draws on geothermal energy and combines it with the power of electric Pokémon to build a huge generator that can provide a considerable amount of energy in one go. But all of this is based on the perspective of humans..."

However, such large-scale changes to the underground structure on a city scale would cause considerable damage to the surrounding environment. Tiexuan was originally the head of the planning department of the Great Zijin Energy Development Group. He was in charge of the development of the entire Zijin City, and he was supportive of the plan from the beginning.

"Thinking about it now, I was such an over-the-top bastard back then..." The old man had no intention of being polite to himself at all, and he started to complain mercilessly, "I only wanted to radically do something to prove myself, and only wanted to create a big event to show off my performance. Haha, fortunately, I was scolded and woke up in the end..."

After realizing how wrong his behavior was, Tiexuan terminated the development plan for the underground part, but because of this, it caused huge losses to the group.

After all, it is impossible to start such a large development project right away. By the time the ground is officially broken, most of the supporting resources must have been deployed.

Now the fucking framework has been set up, and all the subsequent resources have been put in place. You just say you don’t want to do it?

Then who will be responsible for the resources and money consumed in this labor?

"Adults must of course be responsible for their own actions!"

At this time, the old man restrained his smile, and as he said this, he also showed an unquestionable courage.

Liliae was overwhelmed by this courage and could not help but nodded, and the old man immediately put on a smile.

"So, we have been working hard to make up for it. Fortunately, over the past ten years, Zijin City has developed well, and the resources consumed have been transferred to urban development as much as possible. The income generated by the power station has almost made up for the losses..."

So far, the matter has been settled. After all, the Alliance is behind the Da Zijin Energy Development Group, and the Alliance also recognizes Tiexuan’s recognition of the importance of protecting the environment.

Only a utopian background like the Pokémon world can allow Tessana to take responsibility for dealing with losses of this magnitude and give him a chance to make amends.

If you had a background of a slightly more evil-minded group and caused such a huge loss, you would have been treated as a living stake and beaten down together, and this matter would not be over...

In short, this is the dark history of Zijin City...

…The former site of the “Big Corydalis” energy zone!

Chapter 101 Fully automatic, fool-style operation~

The dark history of Zijin City, which could also be considered as the dark history of old man Tiexuan, was revealed to everyone.

The Great Corydalis Development Project, underground energy zone…

After Mr. Tiexuan frankly revealed his dark history, he made his final conclusion...

…adults are responsible for their own actions

This sentence seemed to touch Liliae. Becoming an adult means that you no longer have the power to act arbitrarily, which is the so-called "person with full civil capacity". You have to be responsible for your every move.

This should be a matter of course, but unfortunately there are indeed many people who seem to never understand this in their entire lives. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many so-called "giant babies".

To put it nicely, these people will never grow up in their entire lives. To put it bluntly... they are a group of mentally retarded people with completely underdeveloped brains and incomplete cerebellums.

For this, Tiexuan knew that he might have to bear a huge debt, but he still honestly took on this heavy responsibility, and step by step abandoned the original plan and transformed it into the current Zijin City.

"…So, this place has been abandoned forever?"

Lowe took a look... Because there was no lighting underground and it was pitch black, he couldn't see clearly. However, the moment this thought came to his mind, he suddenly saw all the lights over there lit up.

It seemed that the underground area that had not been activated for decades had "come back to life" in an instant. No, this area itself was abandoned before it was fully developed. In other words, in reality, it had never been activated from the beginning.

In other words, this is probably the first time that the entire area has been truly activated.

"?"

The originally pitch-black underground space suddenly became brightly lit. After all, work had to be carried out underground, and necessary lighting was essential. So when the entire underground energy zone was built, the first thing to be completed was the lighting system.

With the help of the lighting system, Lowe could clearly see the buildings in front of him...

In terms of the framework, its scale is almost the same as that of the Zijin City on the ground, because it was originally designed with a corresponding scale from top to bottom. But after all, the framework was designed and then abandoned, so in fact it is just an empty shell.

But in this empty shell, there is something that stands out...

...Located in the center of this underground area, there is a strange building whose lower part seems to be a huge drilling well and whose upper part seems to be a power tower.

"…Uh, just to be on the safe side, can I ask, what is that?"

Lowe pointed to the most eye-catching building, and Tiexuan spread his hands helplessly, "...Geothermal generator"

"...This seems to look a little different from the geothermal generator I know?"

"Because this is a structure that directly penetrates the earth's crust through that drilling well and draws energy from underneath..."

"You guys can actually make something like this? Punching through the earth's crust is ridiculous!"

Facts have proved that this design really highlights nonsense. If you were to use it on another set, you would probably be regarded as a psychopath.

But don't forget, this is the set of Pokémon. Not to mention the Rockets' black technology, which can restore fossils, it can be said to be a magical technology for resurrection, and there are all kinds of flying and hiding... the magical operation of breaking through the atmosphere...

...Lowei felt that if it was a black technology organization belonging to the alliance, they might be able to make big news for themselves.

Of course, this thing was eventually abandoned. After all, it had been abandoned for decades, so why not just dismantle it and be done with it?

"...There is indeed a corresponding treatment plan, but after all, the construction plan is more important than that. Zijin City also has a lot of development plans on the agenda, so we can only keep pushing the priority here. Originally, we already have a corresponding transformation plan here."

"Renovation plan?"

Luo Wei raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, while Tie Xuan nodded decisively, "Yes, the renovation plan, after all, it would be a pity to directly abandon such a large frame, so we planned to renovate this place. Unfortunately, the renovation plan had just been put forward and this happened."

As they were talking, Kirlia and Meowth stood on the left and right and took battle-ready stances. The little Eevee also jumped onto Lowe's head and patted his forehead nervously.

"..."

Lowe originally wanted to ask what was going on, but soon, there was no need to ask.

Only a heavy muffled sound was heard. The so-called "geothermal generator" that had been built for decades and had never been started at all actually started to operate at this moment. The muffled sound was the sound made by the huge drilling well below starting to move.

"Oh shit!"

When Lowe saw this, he immediately understood that someone was trying to start the geothermal generator. Regardless of the reason, if this thing was started now, the consequences would be quite serious...

After all, it is just the product of a radical plan, and it may not have undergone any qualified testing at all.

Of course, there are necessary factory tests, but Tiexuan wanted to see actual results as soon as possible, so he arranged it on his own initiative without much performance data testing.

"This thing has to stop!"

"Can I just break it?"

Right from the start, Lowe proposed the simplest and most direct solution, but Tiexuan was stunned after hearing it, and then shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Personally, I appreciate your proposal, Rowe, but it's not possible. The device has already been activated. If it is destroyed now, the scope of the damage will spread further..."

"Okay, so we need to find the control device and stop it?"

"Correct!"

After determining what to do, Lowe was naturally not vague, because this thing was started normally, which meant that he just had to run to the control room and stop it.

Tiexuan naturally knew the specific operation process. According to him...

"... Just pull the switch, this thing is fully automatic, fool-proof operation"

"So, all we need to do to start it is pull the brake?"

"Ahem..." Tiexuan, who was outmaneuvered, coughed awkwardly, and then explained, "Originally there was a security lock, but after all, this thing has not been designed yet, so the security lock and permission lock have not been added yet..."

So in the current situation, it can really be started by just pulling the switch.

But after all, the only way to this place is at the Zijin City Power Station, which usually has the highest level of security in the entire Zijin City. Therefore, the insurance is actually not below, but above.
