Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 481 Discussion on the Attack on the Hoenn Region

Since the establishment of the Sinnoh Republic, Shota, with his keen sense of smell, has discovered that something is wrong with the surrounding environment:

For example: wealthy Sinnoh people changed their status early and went to other regions.

For another example: Most outside capitalists chose to give up their interests in Sinnoh and forcibly divested the company, leaving only empty shells.

In the Sinnoh Republic Building, at the cabinet meeting, Shota is leading a group of young backbones to discuss things.

“I have gathered everyone here today to discuss the liberation of the Hoenn region.

What I mean is to take action tomorrow, and send troops to invade the Hoenn region before other regions can react. What do you think?"

Zhenxing, Huoxing, Suixing, and other members of the Lightning Team all had dark circles under their eyes, but they all shook their heads in high spirits.

It was obvious that they all supported the decision of their leader.

On the other hand, the cabinet members represented by Zhulan were all lost in thought.

Zhulan, in particular, bit her thumb with her teeth, as if she was weighing the pros and cons.

After a long time, she stood up, faced Shota and said:

"I support your decision, Führer, but can you not use the Republic's army? We need the Republic's army just in case."

In response to Takeran's suggestion, Shota simply tapped the table rhythmically with his fingers, then nodded indifferently.

"Okay, just in case."

The meeting ended here, and the members of the Lightning Team represented by Zhenxing, Huoxing and Suixing left the meeting room early to prepare.

At the door of the conference room, the few old men who had luckily survived were filled with joy for Zhulan, their wrinkled old faces smiling like chrysanthemums.

After the group of old men left, Takeran put away her signature fake smile, glanced at Shota who was still sitting in the chief seat, leaned on the door handle, and said:

"To be honest, I do care. You are a smart person. It would be fine if you just handed the parliament to me, but I didn't expect the cabinet to interfere. Am I too easy to use?"

Looking at the dark circles under Takeran's eyes and feeling his own clear-headed state, Shota shrugged and nodded.

"Ah~ Is this what power feels like? It's really invigorating, but aren't you afraid that I'll stab you in the back? For example, now is an opportunity."

Looking at Takeran who was leaning against the door handle and looking a little sloppy, Shota shook his head.

"Zhu Lan, I don't know if you have the same heart as your second sister Jun Sha Xue Zang, but you won't make such a stupid decision.

People's hearts are now on the side of the Lightning Team. Even if you join forces with other regions to seize power, when the people who have tasted freedom lose their freedom again, they will only be crazier than they are now.

Don’t you think so? Zhulan.

Looking at Shota who was pressing her against the door, and feeling the masculine scent blowing towards her face, a blush appeared on Takeran's mature face.

"Hmph~ You're right, but could you please stay away from me? You make me feel so greasy."

After opening his hand on the door, Shota pinched Takeran's cheek and said coldly:

"I hope you won't do anything behind my back. Once I gain control of the Hoenn region, I will give you the Sinnoh region.

At that time, you will become the head of the Sinnoh region, but the council will return to Team Inazuma's hands.

You are not a puppet, on the contrary you will have great power, just like me now. However, you also have to consider the suppression of you by the parliament representing the people.

Of course, if you can't stand the loneliness and want to cause trouble, I will consider changing someone."

"Okay~ I'll be obedient."

Takeran held Shota's hands with her tender hands, licked Shota's thumb with her sweet tongue, and looked so coquettish that most men would be moved, but Shota didn't take it seriously.

After wiping his dirty fingers, Shota turned and left the meeting room, leaving behind this message:

"Don't use your status as a woman to seduce me. You are not her. I just drank too much that night."

Looking at Shota's back as he left, Takeran bit her lips hard, and then bit her thumb nail out of habit.

"What a heartless man, he used someone else as a substitute and threw her away like that.

If it were an ordinary woman, she would definitely stop here.

But I am not an ordinary woman. I'm sorry, little sister. I will slowly accept your man because he is so outstanding.

This can be regarded as the only perfect seasoning on my boring journey to the throne of queen...

whee…"

In the corridor of the Sinnoh Republic Building, Shota couldn't help but smile as he listened to Gardevoir in his mind repeating Takeran's words in response to him.

"What a possessive woman, just like you, Gardevoir."

Gardevoir, standing in the clouds above the Republic Building, snorted coldly and transmitted telepathically:

"How are you going to make it up to me, Shouta? I was standing outside the door and listening the entire night.

If you hadn't told me that taking this woman would be useful to you, I would have broken her neck long ago."

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. You know I only love you."

"Humph, who knows if you really drank too much that night? You mistook Zhulan for Diane.

Although I don't want to talk about it, Shota, the dead are gone, and you should get over her death."

……

"What? Stop talking. Oh, okay, okay, when we get back to Hoenn, treat me to two hundred meals of octopus balls, and I won't be angry anymore."

"Gardevoir..."

"Ok?"

"In fact, it's not Diane that's trapping me, but the shock her death has brought me. I don't know if one day, when the time comes, it will be you who leaves me, or I who leaves you.

By that time, we will both feel pain, right?

Now I still haven’t found the method to achieve immortality. Maybe I have some clues, but I have climbed too high and taken too big steps. Those old guys have noticed me, including the so-called gods above people’s heads.

That time with Diane was the closest I ever got to death, and once I thought about losing you, the pain spread throughout my body, even my soul was trembling.

I'm not afraid of dying, but I'm afraid of not feeling your love.

You are the reason for my survival, Gardevoir, you are the softest place in my heart."

Feeling the sudden warmth on his palm, Shota turned his head and saw Gardevoir with tears in its eyes.

"I love you, Master, thousands and thousands of times. Our minds are one and we will never be separated."
