Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

"Doctor, let's get started. The important matter is ahead."

"Yes, yes, the important thing is to get down to business."

Zheng Hui slapped his forehead, turned around and walked towards the construction site, shouting as he went.

"Everyone! Everyone! Get ready, we can start working!"

The construction workers stopped what they were doing, straightened up, and looked over in twos and threes.

Zhenghui walked to the temporary command post next to the cordon.

It was a folding table with several sheets of paper on it and a whiteboard standing next to it.

He cleared his throat, about to speak.

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell from the crowd.

"Isn't that... isn't that Mr. Wataru?"

"That red cape, that Dragonite, it can't be wrong!"

"It really is him!"

Whispers spread like ripples, and more and more people stopped what they were doing; some even poked half their bodies out of their tents to look.

"Mr. Zheng Hui has quite the influence; he can even invite a Heavenly King?"

"It's so good to be rich, even superstars have to work for you."

"Wait, look at that boy, baseball cap, Pikachu... isn't that 'that person'?"

"That person?"

"That's the super rookie who punched and kicked Natsumi and Rika!"

"That's not all!"

Someone lowered their voice.

“I have a distant cousin who works in Changqing City. He heard that this guy recently smashed up the Changqing Taekwondo Academy in a fit of anger!”

"hiss--!"

The people nearby gasped.

"And that's not all. I also heard that the Evergreen Gym Leader, Giovanni, somehow offended him and was being cornered by him demanding protection money!"

"Holy crap... Doesn't that mean that the one standing here right now—Tianwangdu—also has a super rookie?"

"What a stellar lineup..."

"And who are those two boys behind them?"

"I don't know, but he's probably some kind of ruthless person! Look at that guy with his eyes narrowed to slits, he's obviously a hidden master!"

"And that blond guy next to him, he's... his blond hair is unusually blond too!"

The workers were in an uproar, and the discussion grew louder and louder.

Xiaoxia overheard the discussions and couldn't help but turn her head to glance at Xiaozhi.

Are rumors these days really this outrageous?

Punching Natsume? Kicking Rika? Blocking the door and demanding protection money?

and also!

What do you mean by "especially yellow"? Don't you have anything else to say?

208. Shipped!

"Cough cough!"

Seeing that the discussion was getting more and more outrageous, Zheng Hui quickly coughed twice and pressed his hands down.

"Everyone! Everyone!"

"Quiet! Please be quiet!"

The moment the big spender opened his mouth, he exuded an extraordinary aura.

The buzzing discussion seemed to have been paused, and everyone fell silent.

Even those who were whispering to each other quickly turned their faces away, pretending to listen attentively.

After all, you can enjoy gossip anytime, but the big spender... is someone you absolutely cannot offend!

Zheng Hui nodded in satisfaction, looked around to make sure no one dared to slack off, and then spoke loudly.

"Now that everyone is here, let's officially begin work today!"

"As per the previously agreed-upon division of labor, everyone take your positions and let's begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the workers responded in unison.

The next second, the crowd dispersed rapidly like a receding tide, each rushing to their respective posts.

In just a short while, the construction site was filled with flying shovels and billowing dust, with everyone working with great enthusiasm.

Ground/Rock-type Pokémon like Onix, Graveler, and Sandslash were running at full speed.

With a sweep of its tail, it can fill half a cart with dirt; with a dig of its claws, it can create a ditch.

The entire construction site immediately started operating with a loud rumbling sound.

"That's incredibly efficient!"

After taking a closer look, even Xiao Gang, who came from Nibi City, a major mining city, couldn't help but sigh.

"With such a clear division of labor, knowing exactly what each person should do and which route they should take, and that there's absolutely no interference between them, it must have been planned for a long time, right?"

"That is!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Hui couldn't help but puff out his chest proudly.

"I didn't come here a few days earlier just to freeload!"

“Except for the fact that it hasn’t been officially excavated yet, I have thoroughly explored the inside and outside of this site, the distribution of the strata, and the direction of the underground river!”

"Which area to move first, which places to avoid, the capabilities and strengths of each team... all of this has been calculated several times over!"

"Wow, Zheng Hui is amazing!"

Xiao Zhi sincerely praised him.

Without comparison, there is no difference. Compared to Zheng Hui, that old man Sakaki seems a bit amateurish.

The progress has been incredibly slow after all this time, it's as if they're not really focused on it.

Yes, I've decided!

I need to ask Brother Zheng Hui for advice, and then compile my experience and send it to Brother Banmu.

After all, they're all brothers, so we can't show favoritism!

Watching the two of them chatting animatedly, Xiaoxia listened from the side, completely bewildered.

She blinked, and finally couldn't help but ask a question.

"So...should we do something?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Hui replied in a lighthearted tone.

"Hmm... just keep an eye on things and make sure nothing goes wrong."

"If there is any serious emergency, notify Dragonite and have him take Lance to deal with it."

"They are in charge of the highest level of emergency response."

Upon hearing this, Dragonite, who was following Lance, nodded solemnly.

That's right!

Just find him!

Oh, right!

Zheng Hui's eyes suddenly lit up.

"While they've just begun, let me give you a proper introduction to this ruin—"

Without waiting for anyone's reaction, he grabbed Ash and headed straight for the center of the ruins.

"Now that you're here, you should at least know what kind of place you're guarding, right?"

Follow Zhenghui.

The group walked around several neatly stacked toolboxes and came to a temporary workbench with a sunshade.

A large plan of the ruins was laid out on the platform.

The lines are densely packed, and various symbols and numbers are also marked on them.

"Look, this is all the information I've gathered about the ruins over the past few days."

Zheng Hui drew a rough outline on the map with his hand, from the outside to the inside.

"This is the area in front of us, and this is the core part of the Pokmonia Ruins."

Xiao Zhi moved closer, his gaze following the winding lines.

"Pokmonia?"

"This name sounds familiar, doesn't it?"

He scratched the back of his head, trying to search his memory.

"It must be the Pokmonian civilization."

Xiao Gang chimed in, crossing his arms and looking more serious.

"That can be considered an ancient civilization."

"Despite its current lack of fame, judging from the unearthed pottery, stone carvings, and architectural remains, this civilization was once quite advanced. It had its own writing system, was capable of constructing multi-story stone buildings, and mastered a very sophisticated metalworking technique..."

Xiao Gang launched into a long explanation, his tone carrying the unique confidence characteristic of the Nibi people.
