Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 174 Foundation Work
"Boss, people on the Internet are calling on us to release the second volume as soon as possible." In the office, Zoroark walked in with a smile, holding documents. It had changed its look today, with a pair of short boots on its white legs. The whole illusion looked very youthful and energetic.

"Hasn't it been confirmed that it will be broadcast on Saturday?" Teng Shu put the documents in his hand on the table and pinched his eyebrows tiredly.

Sherlock Holmes has become extremely popular during this period, and has been ranked first in the TV ratings during this period. This has also prompted a number of investors to increase their investment in the next season, and even the cost of product placement has been increased a lot.

This is good news.

But it’s not all good news.

Mewtwo couldn't be contacted.

Three days ago, after Dam came to his office to ask for a contract, Teng Shu could no longer contact Mewtwo. All the messages he sent to Mewtwo were unread, and the other party didn't even check his phone. This made Teng Shu a little worried. Did something happen to Mewtwo?

Although Mewtwo is very powerful and is a psychic Pokémon with a high IQ, Teng Shu has never underestimated Team Rocket. At least they have successfully created such a unique Pokémon like Mewtwo, so it has to be said that they do have this strength.

If a smart person discovered that Mewtwo had regained consciousness and then found that Mewtwo was communicating with the outside world, it would be hard to say what would happen.

"The discussion level is very high now. There is even a special discussion website." Zoroark took out his mobile phone and clicked a few times. He had been surfing the website intensively all night last night, watching people discussing it enthusiastically. Then, the gossip fire in his heart that wanted to get spoilers burned fiercely, tormenting him so much that he couldn't sleep all night.

"You're not involved, are you?" Teng Shu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zoroark. Zoroark smiled awkwardly, then quickly waved his hands to indicate that he had not given any spoilers at all, he just interjected a few words when he saw those people discussing.

The corners of Teng Shu's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything. As long as it wasn't a spoiler, it would be fine.

The most exciting parts of a suspenseful detective drama are the plot, the final criminal, and the method of committing the crime. If these are spoiled, the excitement of the TV series will be greatly reduced.

The plot of the next episode is also based on the plot of the first season of "Sherlock Holmes", but Teng Shu made some modifications, so that Moriarty did not appear so early. Instead, the one who appeared was Moriarty's subordinate, the Squid King, a character that Teng Shu tried his best to create.

Moriarty's position in the original work determines that it is not appropriate for him to appear too early. Although he can be foreshadowed in advance, Moriarty himself must unveil the mystery in the end. It is best to make this villain have enough prestige so that his appearance can attract the audience's attention.

Make people think that this guy is really a madman, a highly intelligent madman.

If the villain is well-shaped, he can also be very charming.

What's more, Mr. Sakaki, who plays Moriarty, is also a very popular actor. Once his true appearance is revealed, the TV series Sherlock Holmes will be re-hyped.

"Zoroak, how's things going with Code?" Teng Shu looked at Zoroak and decided to ask about things related to his charity.

The Trainer's Departure Fund is a fund organization that does not need Teng Shu's attention. Although this fund was founded by him, it is essentially operated under the umbrella of Devin Company.

Therefore, Teng Shu never needed to pay attention to this fund. He would read the annual report every year, and the trainers he helped were indeed traceable, although some trainers would give up being trainers and return to being ordinary people after failing to challenge the gym.

But some people came out.

Although this year's Hoenn League has not yet started, Teng Shu already knows that a trainer he sponsored has successfully obtained eight gym badges in this competition and is qualified to participate in the competition.

Teng Shu plans to go and take a look when the time comes.

"Eh? Boss, have you also mastered the deductive method?" Zoroark was surprised, and Teng Shu felt a little puzzled. However, after Zoroark handed over the documents in his hand, Teng Shu finally understood why Zoroark asked this question. Because Zoroark just came to deliver the documents of the Love Foundation.

Teng Shu took it and looked at it.

Code has organized volunteer screening and helped ten sick families.

They are the type who have no financial means to treat their illnesses and can only be carried out and wait to die.

In the world of Pokémon, although there is insurance and some social welfare assistance, the same thing still applies: illnesses can be divided into major or minor ones.

Moreover, there are too many sick people, so social welfare assistance requires queuing, application, and assessment. The alliance can only find the most difficult and most urgent family to be helped among those who apply.

But there are just too many people like this.

In the annual work report released by the Pokémon League last year, in addition to those exciting economic achievements, Pokémon environment maintenance achievements, etc., there are also some heavy numbers.

In the Hoenn Alliance alone, there are more than 30,000 people who are extremely poor.

The alliance's special poverty standard is people who are unable to work, have no income, have no physical assets such as cars or houses, and can only rely on social welfare to survive every day.

For these people, they have to endure minor illnesses and wait for death from serious illnesses. This is their predicament as the bottom of the entire alliance.

But in addition to these extremely poor people, there are also some people who do not live a well-off life and live from month to month. For them, if they get a serious illness, they can only wait to die.

End your life in pain.

And it is this kind of people that Code helps.

Each medical record and each trembling letter of thanks were like red-hot irons, imprinted in Teng Shu's heart.

"This is the original intention of my establishment of this fund." Teng Shu sighed.

Among the ten patients helped this time, the one with the highest expense was a nine-year-old child who was born with congenital heart hypertrophy and needed a heart transplant. The surgery and medical expenses were very high. After comprehensive consideration, Code chose these ten people to be the beneficiaries.

"Edit and organize these things, post them on our foundation's official website, and then open up channels for social donations." Teng Shu waved his hand, and after Zoroark took it, Teng Shu paused.

Yes, maybe there's something else we can do.

Teng Shu decided to insert an advertisement for the foundation in the next episode, taking advantage of Sherlock Holmes' fame.

　I caught a cold yesterday and didn't sleep well at night. There were people yelling outside late at night. I was speechless.
