Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 485 Silent Thunder

After listening to Xijiana's proposal, Mikoli felt it was very feasible and gave Xijiana an admiring look.

But at the same time, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, because Xijiana, who grew up with him, now has the same feeling as the elders, treating everyone in the world as chess pieces.

The lively and lovely Xijiana who always hung around him all day long has disappeared from his memory and will never come back.

Now that he was sitting in the chief position, it was only to enable Xijiana to better manage the affairs of the alliance in the future.

But it’s better this way. Although I failed to protect Xi Jiana, I must protect her sister Xi Jiana.

The Supreme Meeting of the Hoenn Regional Alliance ended, but a piece of news soon spread, that is, the leader of the Inazuma Team, Shota, returned and appeared in Butou Town.

Achao, who was originally responsible for delivering the message along the way, was completely stunned.

"No? Is the alliance trying to steal my food?"

However, the reaction of those who had experienced the Great Famine and the Hoenn War was different from that of Ah Chao.

After learning the news that their leader had returned, they responded from all over the country.

As a result, the originally peaceful Hoenn region was hit by an unprecedented storm.

Violet City, ever since Shota led the Inazuma Team to disband step by step here, this Feng Shui treasure land has been quickly swallowed up and decomposed by the alliance represented by Mikoli.

However, since the people's consciousness of resistance was extremely strong, even completely beyond imagination, Mikoli had to resort to armed violence to suppress it.

Gradually, the rioting masses were suppressed by armed forces, but at the same time, unimaginable disasters were also sown.

Countless foreign capitalists came here and cooperated with the local Meteor People to seize the local electricity consumption and seized most of the market by force.

Sometimes, when there aren't enough Electric-type Pokémon, the local grassroots people and their Pokémon of other types are used to mine coal and generate thermal power.

What? You said the salary you received was too low, what if you don't go? Of course, we are very democratic, you have human rights, you have freedom.

But I don’t believe that you don’t eat, and I don’t believe that you are not afraid of death. Without a certain amount of circulating currency in your hands, you will not be able to take a single step in the entire Zijin City, or even in the entire Hoenn region.

What's more, in some families, the parents are superior and the children are inferior. If you don't do it, there are many people who will do it.

At the same time, a series of technical personnel in the field of electricity have also been severely suppressed. The wages proposed by foreign capital have been reduced again and again, but in fact, all the money has flowed into the pockets of the current alliance government, that is, the pockets of the Meteor People.

Sometimes, you can hear foreign capital companies say that these guys with the title of Meteor People are not human at all, but out-and-out vampires.

The people of Meteor have generally had enough of the life of cavemen, and now can walk freely on the bright and colorful streets of the rich. Their skin is as white as snow, and there is not a trace of mud on their fingertips. Even carrying things requires the help of their own knights.

This is in stark contrast to the coal miners in the slums here.

The miners in the slums work hard all day long, and the gaps between their fingers are covered with black coal slag, but they can only scrape together enough money for their family to eat, and sometimes it is not even enough.

For example, some high-ranking officials of the Meteor People felt that they did not have enough money, so they raised prices. They were in charge of a large amount of land and had a lot of food.

If they have excess grain, they will not give it away or sell it at a low price, but will throw it away or feed it to ordinary livestock.

They control the price of food and the price of everything. If there is too much, they will throw it away; if there is too little, they will raise the price.

Golden money flows into their pockets, but it is all exploited from the working people in one Hoenn region after another.

This is only in terms of material, life, and personality.

From time to time, at the dividing line, the noble people of Meteor would laugh at or even abuse this group of technicians, coal miners, and even the people of Hoenn under their control to show off their noble bloodline.

So much so that the term "untouchable" is very common on the streets of rich people. They think that throwing a small coin is a huge alms, but they don't know that this coin is squeezed out from the teeth of some commoner, and it may be the food money needed for his daughter who is about to starve to death.

The heart of arrogance becomes stronger day by day, the desire for luxury and debauchery gradually increases, and gradually the people of Meteor have become accustomed to the current life and take it for granted.

But the lower-class people on the opposite side were filled with deep resentment in their hearts, but behind them were the armed forces of the alliance patrolling back and forth between the two areas, like hungry hawks and dogs. If the lower-class people made the slightest movement, they would be attacked by these hawks and dogs, and then lose their lives in vain. They were thrown into an unknown corner of the slums, where the smell of decay would spread and serve as a warning to others.

Faced with the dead bodies of their companions, facing the stench of corpses, and facing the naked sight of death, everyone would feel afraid. The people in the slums had no choice but to swallow their deep resentment.

They looked at the group of so-called knights who were dressed in fancy clothes and swaggered behind the Meteor People, and they were filled with hatred.

Some people would curse them behind their backs, but the result was not shame for them, but continuous insults and beatings, and sometimes people would even die because of verbal conflicts.

Sometimes, children whose families were forced to attend schools founded by the people of the meteor would ask themselves, why not choose to be a knight? In this way, they basically don't have to worry about income, the whole family can have enough food, and they don't have to live a life full of worries like others.

But most adults answered:

“The Führer and his Lightning Team gave us freedom and dignity, and we cannot give them back. As a human being, an upright person, I will not give my dignity and freedom to others.

Suffering is only temporary. You cannot lose your human dignity because of suffering. Nor can you become an accomplice of the enemy or a traitor despised by everyone because of suffering.

Even if you live in the mud, you can still see the bright moon when you look up.

When the dark clouds descend and the lightning roars, we will have a chance to turn things around.

The leader will never abandon us. One day, he will return to Hoenn and lead his Lightning Team to crush the darkness with thunder."
