Chapter 134 Where has Team Galactic been making their fortune lately?
Although the catastrophe in Black Gold City was devastating, it was too far away, almost halfway between Sinnoh, to allow Cattleya and Lu Sha to get there in time.
However, given the enormous casualties caused by this man-made disaster, Lu Sha still had Cattleya transfer 2000 million Alliance Coins through the Flash Flame Foundation as disaster relief funds.
For them now, Alliance Coin has little significance.
The truly top-tier rare resources are simply priceless and unavailable, while the conventional goods that can be bought with money are woefully inadequate for improving their current strength.
The layout of Lu Sha goes far beyond this.
After making the donation, he used the young lady's social media account to post a heartfelt message of support, stating that he was unable to go to the front line in person due to the long distance and could only offer his modest assistance to Black Gold City.
The purpose of posting this message was certainly not to win public favor.
As soon as the post was released, the leaders of the Carlos region understood immediately and lined up to respond in the comments section.
Their efforts even sparked a fundraising frenzy among the people of Carlos, raising a staggering 10 billion Alliance Coins in just a few days.
This massive amount of disaster relief funds, along with the 2000 million from Lu Sha, was all transferred to the account of the Flame Foundation, and its leader, Vladari, personally led a team to Blackgold City to allocate the supplies.
Along with it came the first batch of resources agreed upon in the Carlos region.
From this point on, Pokémon such as Rhyhorn and Dratini officially embarked on a fast track to rapid level progression.
Vladali's arrival and donation not only pave the way for future regional integration, but are also a sure-fire win for Carlos at this point.
Pokémon uprisings can happen in any human city, and Kalos is no exception.
With this act of kindness shown in times of need, the Sinnoh Elite Four will certainly not stand idly by if Carlos faces any danger in the future.
As the facilitators who brought all of this together, Cattleya and Lu Sha also gained favors from both regions.
"Mr. Fladali, no matter the region, bloodsucking parasites can never be eradicated. It's just undeniable that the waters here in Sinnoh are much deeper than in Carlos. They still only want half; I thought their appetites were so big they wanted to swallow seventy percent."
"It's no use. While the Elite Four are the strongest in their respective regions, they only have absolute jurisdiction over gyms and registered trainers. They have no right to interfere with the promotion or suspension of officials within the League. To bypass procedures and deal with those officials, the League President would have to personally intervene."
"The Alliance Chairman and the Four Heavenly Kings are not from the same faction. He is appointed and dismissed by the Kanto region in order to divide the region and create internal conflicts."
"You hold your position for now. I'll think of a way to ensure this money is actually used and not embezzled by those parasites."
Within the vast wetland, the phone was held aloft by telekinesis, hovering silently in mid-air.
In a cool and indifferent voice, Cattleya relayed Lu Sha's instructions word for word.
On the other end of the phone was an exhausted Vladali.
The situation in Sinnoh was far more depraved than he, a Carlos, had imagined.
Black Gold City is mostly destroyed, and those people aren't thinking about disaster relief; they're thinking about how to pocket the donated funds.
The officials of Sinnoh made it very clear.
If this donation is to be legitimately delivered to the disaster area, a relationship management fee of 5 million Alliance Coins must first be paid.
Secondly, the remaining money must be used entirely to purchase supplies from designated companies. And the prices of those supplies sold by those companies have reached an outrageous level.
If they manage to exploit us like this, and even if 10 million of the 1 billion Alliance Coins actually reach the intended recipients, it would be considered a great act of mercy on their part.
The rest will all turn into red wine in the glasses of Sinnoh capitalists and corrupt officials.
Ironically, some of these funds might even quietly flow into the Galaxy team's coffers.
Team Galactic is universally hated in Sinnoh, yet they can never be completely eradicated. The fundamental reason is that they have deep-rooted interests entangled with the various families and local powerful figures in Sinnoh.
For those prestigious families who want rare Pokémon that can't be seen in the open, or who need to handle some dirty and tiring work, Team Galactic is the best black glove.
Not to mention others, even the Belize family, the richest family in Sinnoh, and even Cattleya's own family, have been secretly exchanging benefits with Team Galactic.
Within the entire top circle of Sinnoh, perhaps only the sparsely populated Cynthia family, because of their lack of desire and ambition, can maintain true innocence.
Hanging up the phone, Cattleya tilted her head slightly, looking at Lu Sha beside her: "Vladali is a pure idealist, and he's been betrayed by people he helped before. Now he's witnessed such disgusting things firsthand, won't he despair and turn to the dark side?"
"Crack! (No. As long as he still accepts the new world we've depicted, he'll grit his teeth and keep going. As long as our strength grows fast enough to absolutely suppress all variables, he'll still have hope for us.)" Lu Sha shook his head indifferently.
To be honest, idealists like Vladari are much harder to deal with than the young lady and Cynthia.
Because of her innate telepathic abilities, Gadriya grew up hearing about the hypocrisy and greed in people's hearts and never believed that human nature was inherently good.
Cynthia, on the other hand, is quick to hate evil and will stand up for what is right when she encounters injustice; she is straightforward and direct.
Only someone like Vladali, once he has witnessed too much pure evil, is prone to getting stuck in a rut and falling into self-doubt.
"Click! (Send a message to Cynthia and Plantina, revealing Vladali's current situation to them.)"
After a moment's thought, Lu Sha finalized his plan.
"Why not just contact the head of the Bellrich family directly, or the Mustard Seed Bamboo King?"
Cattleya's slender fingers flew across the screen as she edited the information.
She never questioned Lu Sha's decision; she was simply curious about the logic behind it.
After all, removing corrupt officials and putting pressure on wealthy tycoons are clearly not decisions that two underage girls can make on their own; ultimately, the decision will have to be made by the families behind them.
In reality, they also had the private contact information of those two important figures.
"Click! (Some things, if we just say them directly, they won't have a good chance to refuse. From the moment they agreed to fund us, they've already taken sides. But how deeply they choose to side is up to them; we don't need to force them.)"
Lu Sha grinned widely, chuckling as he explained the intricacies of the situation: "Crack! (Letting Plantina and the others say it is much more effective than us saying it directly, and it also leaves more room for maneuver.)"
With Cattleya's current strength, she is already qualified to sit at the table and eat.
A superhuman with superpowers of the highest caliber.
Such strategic deterrence is extremely rare, even in the entire Sinnoh region.
Moreover, the young lady is only 16 years old.
As long as they don't completely overturn the table, who dares to block their way?
"Message sent successfully."
Cattleya put down her phone, stretched lazily like a cat, her beautiful curves showing signs of weariness: "What do we do next?"
She absolutely hated dealing with these trivial matters.
But Lu Sha had told her that if she wanted to become a Sinnoh champion in the future, these things were indispensable.
You can't just crush someone with your mental powers after you become a champion and then encounter someone who disagrees with you, can you?
We live in a civilized society now, so we have to do things in a civilized manner.
Ultimately, it's because they're not strong enough right now.
When they have Palkia's strength someday, no, even if they only have Arcanine's strength, they will be able to do whatever they want without any restrictions.
"Hehe! (What else can we do? Of course, we'll go around asking around where Team Galactic is making their fortune lately. We're just killing time anyway, let's go find them some fun!)"
Lu Sha excitedly rubbed his paws together and let out a mischievous chuckle.
They don't have the protagonist's aura like Cynthia, who sits at home and has a legendary Pokémon fall from the sky.
But it's okay!
Now that Team Galactic has started searching for clues and items related to the Twin Dragons of Time and Space, following this group of treasure-hunting rats is definitely the right thing to do!
Since we can't just bump into each other on the street, let's take the initiative to go to their door and help them.
Those are the twin dragons that control time and space!
Let alone snatching the remaining Diamond Orb, even picking up a single eyelash might contain enough energy to save him hundreds of magical candies.
