Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

A smiling person is holding an exquisite box.

Haoyan had just experienced this situation recently.

He's very familiar with this situation and this process!

A faint smile appeared on his face as he gestured for the other person to sit down: "President Franklin, please have a seat."

"Let's talk about it slowly."

"Okay...Director Haoyan..."

... ...

Chapter 414 Crossing: I'm Jealous

"Thank you, Director Haoyan. This time, our Golden City and our Westford Company are only spared from disaster because of you!"

President Franklin smiled broadly at the table, put down the exquisite box in his hand, and pushed it in front of Haoyan.

"This is a small token of our gratitude to Director Haoyan for his contributions to us. Please accept it."

"Haha, President Franklin, you're too kind!"

"It was just a small favor, no need to be so polite."

"Seeing that Goldenrod City is in dire straits, any upright trainer would feel obligated to help..." Hao Yan said with a faint smile.

He didn't open the box immediately, after all, he wasn't that familiar with President Franklin yet.

"As expected, Curator Haoyan is just like the legends say."

"He is a person with a strong sense of justice."

"However, our company, Sifor, has received your kindness and cannot remain silent."

"Please accept this small token of my appreciation." President Franklin picked up the box and placed it in Haoyan's hand.

"President Franklin, you're too kind. Since you've said so, it would be impolite of me to refuse..."

They've already stuffed the things into my hands.

Since it was someone's kind gesture, Haoyan couldn't refuse.

So I reluctantly accepted it.

He roughly knew what was inside the box.

Even though he knew what was in the box, he still gasped when he opened it and saw it.

Inside the box was pure Z crystal.

But not just one, there were three!

[Psychic Z: Upgrades Psychic-type moves to Z-Moves.]

[Fire Z-Move: Upgrades Fire-type moves to Z-Moves.]

[Dark Z-Move: Upgrades Dark-type moves to Z-Moves.]

... ...

"President Franklin, this gift is a bit too expensive..." Hao Yan put the box down without accepting it immediately.

If it's just one as a token of gratitude, Haoyan would gladly accept it.

But three pills? That's a really high price to pay.

These three pure Z crystals, if packaged and sold on the market, would easily fetch 20 billion Alliance Coins.

20 billion is no small sum.

This is Haoyan's annual salary over 5 years!

Haoyan isn't stupid, and neither is President Franklin.

Strictly speaking, they are both old foxes.

I know perfectly well that such a generous gift must have an ulterior motive.

"To be honest, Director Haoyan, even though our Westford Company is such a big business, only I know how hard we work." President Franklin sighed heavily.

Haoyan didn't interrupt and waited quietly for the other party's request.

"Our company, Sifor, produces TMs, Poké Balls, healing items, and all sorts of travel gadgets."

"It seems like a good deal."

"But in fact, we are very careful and cautious when doing business."

“Director Haoyan, you come from the Hoenn region, so you must know about Devon Corporation.”

"Zivoch of Devon Corporation is a friend I greatly admire."

"I envy him, he's so free."

"Go wherever you want."

"Because he has a champion son, even if he walks alone on the street, he is not afraid that anyone will have bad thoughts about him."

"And I am like a caged bird!"

"Every time I go out, I need a huge number of bodyguards to protect me!"

"To be honest, I haven't stepped out of the Westfur Company building for two whole years!"

"Even so, the Rockets still have their eyes on them!"

"This is so hard for me!"

President Franklin looked desolate as he spoke.

Hao Yan nodded silently to himself. He had once saved Zifuchi in the Hoenn region.

At that time, Zvoich was wandering around alone, which made him a target of the Aquamarine Fleet.

The Aqua Team only dared to fake an accident.

After all, Zvoich has a champion like Daigo backing him up.

Offending Zvuch is tantamount to going against the strongest fighting force in the Hoenn region.

Unfortunately, President Franklin had no promising children.

So you mean…

The thought of Daigo gave Hiroki a slightly wicked feeling.

Could it be that President Franklin wants to…

"That's how it is!" President Franklin sat up straight, speaking with a mixture of trepidation and seriousness.

"I would like to hire Director Haoyan as our honorary security consultant for Westford Company."

"If we had Director Haoyan as our honorary security advisor, I believe that with Director Haoyan's reputation!"

"Those demons and monsters would never dare to have any illusions about us!"

"Of course, if our Sifor Company is attacked again, I would like to ask Director Haoyan for a little help."

"I think with Director Haoyan joining me, I can also step out of the company building and enjoy the sunshine and freedom!"

"Of course, as payment!"

"I plan to pay 5 million Alliance Coins annually, and as long as you need it, the items produced by the Sifre Company will be provided to you in unlimited quantities!"

“Even if it wasn’t a prop manufactured by the Sifre Company, we would do everything we could to get it for you…”

"I hope Director Haoyan will agree!"

After President Franklin finished speaking, he stood up again and shoved the box containing three pure Z crystals into Haoyan's hand.

5 million a year!

Plus, free items!

Three pure Z crystals!

They only need to show up when something comes up.

This business seems to be doing quite well.

"Oh, President Franklin, you're too kind."

"Since President Franklin values ​​me so much, I have no choice but to accept." Hao Yan took the three pure Z crystals and proactively extended his hand to shake hands with the other party.

"Haha, that's great!"

"Director Haoyan, please guide me in the future!" President Franklin's smile widened.

... ...

"I'm so jealous!" Wataru looked at the two chatting happily, as if he had eaten a lemon as big as a Bangalore.

During the time he was in charge of the Kanto region, why didn't the other party come to him to ask him to be their security consultant?

He glanced at the three sacred birds behind Haoyan.

The bitterness in my heart intensified.

... ...

Chapter 415 Kanto Region, Highest-Level Press Conference

Time flies, and a week has passed since the crisis in Golden City was resolved.

Haoyan slept for two days during this week.

He spent the rest of his time at the Saffron City Gym.

The Saffron City Gym has been uninhabited since Sabrina left.

The dojo's training grounds and rooms were all covered in dust.

Originally, both the Golden City City Hall and the Westford Company wanted to arrange for Haoyan to stay at the most luxurious Golden City Hotel.
