Pokémon League Chronicles/Farming, Pokémon Trainer!

However, those policies only targeted population movement and did not include Pokémon.Therefore, we can use this method to take advantage of loopholes and take shortcuts..."

Zhubei, who was looking at the file and saw smoke coming from above her head, came to her senses at this time. She frowned and looked at Perris, her tone slightly uncomfortable: "If you say that, doesn't that mean you treat Pokémon as a human being?" Treat me like a slave... Do you think this is really appropriate?"

Perris was keenly aware of Zhubei's emotions.He learned from the information that the leader of Team Pearl seemed to be disgusted with the attitude of some Pokémon trainers in enslaving Pokémon without a bottom line. In the past, he had opposed and questioned Team Galaxy and Poké Balls because of this.

So he quickly explained: "Well... from an ethical point of view, of course it is inappropriate. Whether it is enslaving humans or Pokémon, it is not in line with the values ​​of modern society. We are just taking advantage of this loophole here, Although the name sounds a bit unpleasant, the benefits are real, which is equivalent to exchanging face for face... Can you understand?"

Zhu Bei curled her lips, but still nodded.Although she was unhappy inside, she was not an unreasonable person, and she could still accept it after the truth was explained.

Seeing that Zhubei didn't react much, Perris breathed a sigh of relief and continued to explain: "In addition to Pokémon and Pokémon trainers being treated strictly as dangerous factors, there is another more essential reason. That is to say, there are differences and confusion between the management and systems of each region.

The simplest example, regarding the danger level of Pokémon trainers... uh, the assessment and classification of strength. For example, the standard in the Hoenn region is that as long as you carry more than four Poke Balls, it is a medium level, but the Unova region will be more convinced. Strength assessment provided by the mercenary guild.

Regardless of whether they are leaving or entering the country, Pokémon trainers must undergo inspections at the customs gate. Because of the differences in evaluation standards and the fact that certificates are not universal among many regions, the exit and entry must be evaluated separately, which is quite troublesome and time-consuming. …

This phenomenon does not only occur in Pokémon-related matters, but also in general goods assessment, talent immigration standards, trade standards, currency conversion, etc. This kind of chaotic phenomenon is not uncommon, and it once caused us a lot of headaches. "

"I see, the difference in weights and measures... I heard Mingyao talk about this." Xiaozhao put his elbow on the table to support his face and slowly recalled: "He said that even in the Xicui area , there are also many villages and tribes that use different length and weight units, which makes a lot of work very troublesome and hinders efficiency... How to solve these problems?"

"Well... we can probably only hope that there will be a single government in the future that will unify the whole world and unify all standards. Haha, there is a high probability that it will not be possible."

Perris laughed twice, and then shook his head: "Besides that, there is another problem of chaotic management.

Over the past hundred years, with the development brought about by the Industrial Revolution in the Galar region, the social structure of various regions around the world has undergone changes of varying sizes. There are factors leading to social progress, but it also brings inevitable consequences. The system is chaotic.

For example, at the port of Kuye City, the customs may be operating according to a certain latest system, but the Kuye City Government may be operating under another set of systems, and the general government located further away on the Quartz Plateau, because of this The constant changes in political parties over the past few decades may adopt older and chaotic systems, and these systems are likely to have many contradictions, and the efficiency of each node will also be very low..."

Xiaozhao nodded while listening. When he heard the end, he suddenly said coldly: "So...then the Pokémon League seems to have a similar problem now?"

As soon as she said this, the other people suddenly looked surprised.

Zhubei and Nuonuo were surprised that Xiaozhao would come up with such a strange point of view.In their view, the Pokémon League has developed extremely fast, and has risen to this point in such a short period of time. There is almost no fault with it in terms of operational concepts or technology.And as a new organization, it has nothing to do with words such as "ancient" and "rotten"... Why does Xiao Zhao think that the Pokémon League has these problems?

In contrast, what surprised Peris was not the point raised by Xiaozhao, but... this girl looked so naive, how could she be so keen to detect something wrong?Is this what is called a person’s appearance?

As a veteran Interpol police officer, Perris's experience and structure are not comparable to those of a social animal college student and an illiterate female chief.After investigating the Pokémon League for so long, he knew that this organization was not as prosperous and prosperous as it appeared on the surface, but had many hidden dangers hidden in the dark.If not handled well, these hidden dangers are likely to become entrenched as the Pokémon League gradually develops, and eventually become hidden diseases that are difficult to eradicate and become the fatal weakness of this organization.

Perris has seen many people or organizations like the Pokémon League that looked promising, but ultimately failed due to some seemingly insignificant weaknesses.It's a pity that his position as an Interpol and his principle of not interfering in the internal operations of other organizations prevent him from mentioning these things to others.

Chapter 236 Exploding gold coins

"Senior Xiaozhao, what do you mean?" This time it was Nono's turn to be confused. She scratched her head and thought for a long time, and finally couldn't help but asked: "You said that the Pokémon League also has problems. ...What phenomena are the conclusions drawn from?"

"Ah, it's not an analysis or conclusion... It's just my own feelings after hearing Peris Police talk about the chaos of management and system." Xiaozhao waved his hand a little embarrassed and said casually: "Because I am usually mainly responsible for connecting with the Galaxy team, so I usually see more phenomena in this area...

Well, you should know that most of the staff in the current Pokémon League are members of the original Team Galaxy, right? "

Zhubei and Nuonuo both nodded.

The Pokémon League is a project that is fully led by Team Galaxy and relies entirely on Team Galaxy's financial, material, and human resources in the early stages. There are quite a few positions within it that are held concurrently by Team Galaxy members.Even today, as it has gradually grown and absorbed a lot of new blood, at least [-]% of the league's employees are also members of the Galaxy team.

For example, Xiao Teru herself is a member of Team Galaxy's investigation team, the chairman and executive secretary of the Pokémon League, and the representative of Team Galaxy in the Pokémon League. She has three identities at the same time, and is a typical employee of the alliance. represent.

"According to my usual understanding, chaos like that is especially common among employees who are members of Team Galaxy.

For example, the Pokémon League itself has planned procedures, but those employees habitually adopted Team Galaxy's methods, so that when they later contacted the person who took over, they lacked documents and information, which caused a lot of trouble. .

There is also work conflict.Because the Pokémon League and Team Galaxy are currently run separately, work is often delegated to the same person at the same time.At that time, maybe the Alliance asked him to go on a business trip to the Red Lotus Wetland, but Team Galaxy asked him to station in the Celebration Village, which caused a lot of division...

Also, there are still a lot of resources in the program that belong to Team Galaxy. If the Pokémon League wants to use them, they must write instructions... Not to mention that writing instructions is very troublesome in itself, and even weirder. The thing is, many times the person who applies for resources and approves resources is the same person!

For example, do you know Mr. Mars who is in charge of Black Gold Village?He is now the deputy village chief of Black Gold Village, but is also one of the deputy leaders of the Galaxy Guard Group.

Last month, he wanted to apply for a batch of training equipment from Zhuqing Village, so he first wrote the instructions and preliminary documents in Heijin Village, then ran to Zhuqing Village and acted as the deputy leader of the security team. He stamped the document he wrote, then ran back to Heijin Village for review and stamping, and finally took the document and ran to Zhuqing Village to find Boss Magamu for finalization.He finally thought it was over, but after a few days, the quantity of the equipment did not match the number, so he had to go back and forth a few more times, almost giving the old man cramps..."

Nono was silent for a moment and covered his face.

She seems to have an impression of this... No wonder Mars kept coming in and out of the village gate in those days. Is this the reason why he was so painful?

"I see, I probably understand what Senior Xiaozhao means." Nuonuo wiped the sweat from his forehead, his head was racing, and he tried to analyze:

"To put it simply, because of the special structure of the Pokémon League when it started, we actually had a lot of procedural and institutional problems internally. Mr. Mars's kind is actually not bad. If there is a company that has both the League and the Galaxy in the future, If there are people with evil intentions on both sides of the team, it is very likely to cause unimaginable trouble...

At the end of the day, the way the Pokémon League exists is actually weird.It is an organization jointly funded by the three imperial families, but its main program is still attached to the Galaxy Team.It would be fine if it was just a commercial organization, but the problem is that today's Pokémon Alliance has gradually broken away from the category of a commercial organization and is operating more as a government organization.It is undoubtedly a very strange thing for one government organization to be dependent on another government organization..."

"It's not just strange, it's even dangerous."

Perris, who had been listening to the girls' conversation before, suddenly spoke.

He pondered for a moment, then carefully considered his words: "For government organizations, independence is a crucial factor, related to the foundation of government organizations. If a country or organization is easily restricted by others, It's like a person's lifeblood is always controlled by others. Even if the person holding the lifeblood may be a friendly companion, no one can guarantee that this friendship can last forever.

If a conflict or conflict of interest occurs one day, by then management chaos and turnover difficulties will be trivial matters.An organization whose lifeblood is being manipulated is likely to die easily.

Whether it is for people or social organizations, the most important thing is to control their destiny in their own hands. This is the foundation of foundations. "

Nuonuo nodded vigorously, with a little regret and fear in his heart.

Perhaps it was because she had been blinded by the huge profits and achievements brought about by the Pokémon League work report, and this problem had not had any particularly bad impact so far, that she accidentally forgot about it. The important thing... Senior Xiaozhao must be wise and foolish, otherwise she might not be able to react until now, and she won't be able to wake up until irreparable losses are brewing.

"Hey, I just said it casually, but I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated..." A certain wise and foolish senior Xiaozhao opened his eyes wide, and the look on his face was even more surprised than Nono, and then he said worriedly: "In that case , how do we try to solve these problems?”

way of solving the problem?

An idea suddenly popped up in Nono's mind, but because it was too rebellious, she immediately pushed it back.

After thinking for a moment, she tried to explain tactfully: "This... it is best to let Mr. Magamu make an active transition to disperse and dissolve the concept of Team Galaxy into the Pokémon League, uh..."

Looking at Xiao Zhao's cute but ignorant big eyes, Nono was suddenly at a loss for words.Just when she was hesitating to explain in a more straightforward way, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door.

"There's no need to beat around the bush like this... To put it simply, it's time for Boss Magam to burst into gold coins."

Chapter 237: Cold, Sad

Explode, explode gold coins?

This strange and unfamiliar metaphor made Nono slightly stunned.When he reacted again, Mingyao had already walked from the door to the desk, moved a chair and sat down in front of Nono, and said casually:

"How's it going? How's the work going?"

"Ah, ah, yes, the basic agreement and contract are almost signed. Although there are still a few supplementary documents to be written, it is not complicated... I have made a rough list here, please check it. "

With that said, Nono quickly pulled out a piece of scrap paper from the messy pile of documents in front of him and quickly handed it into Mingyao's hand.

Her palms were sweaty, her heart was pounding, and she was slightly nervous.

After all, no matter what, discussing the fatal problems of our organization in private, and having the leader overhear it... doesn't seem to be a good idea no matter what, right?

In those ancient novels, I'm afraid you would be beheaded on charges such as 'making irresponsible remarks about the court', but in modern society there are also charges such as 'disrupting the order of an organization/company and spreading improper rumors', which is to be taken lightly. It's also similar to when I was a student, I complained about the bad things about my class teacher, and when I turned around, I found that the heavy-faced class teacher had been following me, and he patted his shoulder and told me to go to his office later... Don't talk about punishment, right? For the person involved, is this kind of thing really embarrassing and easy to deal with?

Perris on the side also looked embarrassed.Logically speaking, as an Interpol police officer, he is absolutely not allowed to dictate or interfere in the current situation of other organizations. Just now, it was just because a few girls were discussing too enthusiastically that he couldn't help but participate in the topic, but it turned out that He was also caught red-handed by the leader of the other organization... This was really an unforgivable gaffe. If Mingyao was dissatisfied with this, he would basically just complain.

Fortunately, Mingyao didn't seem to pursue their remarks.After scanning the list in his hand for a few times, he nodded and put it down, then scratched his head again:

"What were we talking about just now...oh, blasting Boss Magamu's gold coins?"

After hearing that Mingyao said "we" instead of "you", Nono breathed a sigh of relief: "Well, yes, we were discussing the relationship between the alliance and the Galaxy... Uh, Chairman, having said that, What does exploding gold coins mean?”

"Oh, I just want to find a way for old men like Old Man Magamu to transfer their accumulated wealth and assets to me before they die. The method ranges from military boxing to taking laxatives. It is a very suitable method for squatting in modern homes. ."

"...Why don't you just say that you are seizing the inheritance! And this is obviously illegal, right?!"

"I know, it's just a joke." Mingyao chuckled, waved his hand towards Nono who lacked humor, turned back to look at Peris, and said leisurely: "Speaking of which, Peris Police, you just participated in us like that Internal discussions within the organization seem to be against professional requirements, right? Mr. Interpol, you don’t want your leader to punish you, do you? Why don’t you try to redeem yourself by popping gold coins..."

The middle-aged Interpol policeman with an honest and steady personality suddenly became extremely embarrassed. His brows twitched and his face became stiff. Finally, he managed to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Chairman Ming, please don't keep using this method." This way of teasing people... As a middle-aged person, I can't stand this kind of torture."

"Rua, I'm just teasing you, don't take it too seriously." Mingyao curled his lips, raised the list that Nono had just listed in his hand and waved it at him: "Can you please help me run this?" Send this list to Team Galaxy headquarters for the old man... er, let Boss Magamu take a look at it."

Perris breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly took the list from Mingyao's hand, and then disappeared into the office as fast as he could. It was obvious that he didn't want to stay any longer.

After Peris left, Xiaozhao also moved a chair and sat over, with a curious expression on his face: "Mingyao, what are you going to do? I heard the discussion between Nono and Mr. Peris just now, and it seems that this problem is quite serious now? Do you really want to fight Boss Magamu with a military punch?"

"...No, how is that possible?" Mingyao shook his head: "I heard that Boss Magamu used to be a general or a soldier. He has a very strong hand-to-hand combat ability. Team Leader Xingyue was taught by him. Even though he is older now Since he likes fishing, he also practices sumo wrestling with the security team from time to time. Moreover, he wears soft armor all year round, which makes it quite difficult to attack..."

Nuonuo on the side was confused when she heard this: Isn't it because of feelings and not for other reasons? Is it because I can't fight that's why I don't fight?Leader, is there something wrong with our causal relationship?

After a pause, Mingyao continued: "And in the final analysis, Team Galaxy and the Pokémon League are conjoined twins, and there is no conflict of interest or position. If there is anything, it is easier to communicate directly... Among them I have actually been thinking about it for a long time, and I will find a way to solve it, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

What Mingyao said is true.

As the founder of the Pokémon League, he has personally experienced many problems in the development of this organization.He himself knows better than most people what kind of hidden dangers this organization has and what kind of long detours it can take.

And he had indeed discovered and started thinking about this problem quite early, and the solution had been brewing in his mind.After thinking about it, the best way is indeed as Nono and the others said, to disband Team Galaxy and completely absorb its resources. From then on, the only organization left in the entire Celebration Village and even the entire Xicui area is the Pokémon Alliance.

The only thing left to consider is how to convince Magamu to voluntarily explode the gold coins...well, voluntarily donate them.

He shook his head: "Okay, okay, it's not interesting to talk too much about this kind of thing. Let's discuss it later. Let's talk about other serious things.

Zhubei, let me confirm with you, there is a place called Xuefeng Temple on the other side of the pure white frozen soil, right? "

The illiterate female chief who had been listening quietly because she couldn't speak was stunned by the sudden roll call and said without thinking: "Yes... that place is a huge ancient stone palace, and the Red Lotus Wetland." Like random ruins, they are ancient architectural ruins left by the people of ancient Sinnoh. Now they are basically regarded as the territory of the Pearl Team and are managed and guarded by us. It is located on the mountain cliff to the north of the Pearl Settlement. Up there, very close to Lake Wisdom, one of the three major lakes, the northernmost place in the entire Xicui area... What happened there?"

Chapter 238: I agreed in advance that you are not allowed to scold me 3500

"Well, strictly speaking it's quite important."

With that said, Mingyao briefly and concisely repeated the conversation he had just had with Wu Si to several people.Considering Jubei's face, he temporarily concealed the matter of Arceus, the genuine Sinnoh Lord. He only explained that collecting stone slabs was related to solving the problem of space-time rifts. By the way, he also talked about several main channels for obtaining stone slabs. .

"...To sum up, we now need to shift our focus to the pure white frozen soil for a while, obtain the three stone slabs hidden there, and investigate Lake Wisdom by the way." Mingyao looked at Zhubei: "Can I trouble you? Lead the way?"

Zhu Bei was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "In other words, Mingyao, are you going to go to the pure white frozen soil? In that case, do you want to come with me?"

Looking at Zhubei's visibly excited and happy expression, Nono suddenly felt dizzy. She had seen this kind of expression many times on the female classmates with strong hormones in school, and she knew it very well. What kind of mood is it probably...

Gua!It’s the sour smell of love!Don't show me this kind of thing!

However, it is not difficult to understand that whether it is a boy or a girl, it is very happy when the person you like takes the initiative to seek help and support.

As a boy who thinks about farming and fighting Pokémon, Chairman Ming usually talks about work matters with Zhubei on weekdays, and rarely has the opportunity to get along alone in private, let alone go on a business trip together. An activity close to “tourism”.What's more, this time they returned to the main territory of Zhubei for activities, which was also a "return to their hometown" in a sense. Normal people would be more or less excited. It is normal to expect that the relationship between the two parties can heat up a little...

But this is impossible!

According to Nono's understanding of Chairman Ming, he would never take the initiative to do such an ambiguous thing!As if to prove his innocence to the outside world, this person would never get too close to someone of the opposite sex. Even in the office, he would always leave the door open!It's definitely not that simple!

Sure enough, unlike Zhu Bei, whose expression gradually turned rosy, Mingyao was stunned for a moment, showing an inexplicable expression of "Why do you think so?":

"Uh, I didn't say I would go to the pure white frozen soil myself?"

"...Eh?" Zhu Bei's smiling expression suddenly froze: "But didn't you just ask me to lead the way?"

"Oh, what I mean is that I hope you can help lead the team responsible for the investigation." Mingyao explained: "I will select a few people from the investigators to form a team, and let them go to the pure white frozen soil to investigate on my behalf. At that time, I hope that as a landowner, you can take care of them..."

"Then, what about you?" Zhubei stammered.

"Well, of course I will stay here in Zhuqing Village and continue working... After all, many things have been put on hold during this period to deal with the troubles at the Mercenary Guild, and I have to find a way to catch up. ." Mingyao scratched his head, probably because he never expected Zhubei to have such a reaction before, so he didn't react too quickly: "And I have to leave Xicui for a long trip in two months, so hurry up. Take the time to make some preparations, and just leave matters such as temporary business trips to the investigators..."

On the side, Nono was silent, covering his aching stomach, and slowly leaned down.

Gua!He is a professional and hard-working man!Don't show me this kind of thing!Does such a bloody thing actually exist in real life? ?

Zhubei himself was directly stunned by the dog man... not yet!

The blond girl's brain was running faster than ever before. Her little face turned red, and she gestured back and forth with her hands, making the final struggle: "But, Mingyao, look... what's the name of that one in the Xuefeng Temple?" Isn't the Pokémon named Regigicas a very powerful Pokémon in the legend? I heard that the Pokémon in the legend moved the continent by itself and created the magic of today's Xicui area. Pokémon? Isn't it dangerous? For insurance purposes, shouldn't it be better for you to go there yourself?"

"Well, as for this, although that Pokémon seems to be quite prominent in the legend, in fact, its combat power is a weakling. It is incomparable to a level two god like Sidrann. A few investigators are enough. …”

"What about going on an on-site inspection? Isn't the infrastructure construction project on the pure white frozen soil about to start soon? Wouldn't it be good for you to take the opportunity to observe it by the way?"

"Well, the problem is that I don't know how to do it either... This kind of thing is left to professionals. I usually don't interfere blindly..."

"Well, then, let's just treat it as a trip and take a rest? After all, you see, you have been busy this year. In two months, you will go on a business trip outside Xicui, and you will be even busier in the future. , shouldn’t we take advantage of this rare opportunity to have some fun?”

"Well, that's what I say, but traveling is the most troublesome thing..."

Seeing Zhu Bei racking his brains trying to come up with reasons to convince Ming Yao, while the latter was as clueless as a fool and kept refusing with a confused face, Nono's blood pressure immediately soared on the spot.

Hungry, hungry, no, my stomach hurts... She felt that she couldn't listen any more, otherwise she would be completely stunned by the speech of Chairman Ming, a man with high blood pressure, consciously or unconsciously...

At this moment, Xiao Zhao on the side suddenly said: "Well, that's what I said... Mingyao, it seems that you really need to go to Pearl Village, right?"

"Ok?"

Several eyes looked at Xiaozhao with different emotions, while the latter looked completely unaware and said to himself: "After all, you see, Team Pearl is also a member of the Pokémon League." I have helped a lot with the development of the company. Zhubei personally brought people to help me during the previous tornado cloud subjugation operation. Field Director Beishang and Field Director Guana also helped me a lot... Go to Pearl Village and Pearl Team It’s also necessary to say hello and thank them, right?”

Nono's eyes suddenly lit up: Oh!As expected of Koteru-senpai, he hit the point right away!

Indeed, according to Chairman Ming's character, telling him things like traveling or relaxing will not be effective. It has to be something related to work that can convince him!Especially when it comes to matters involving human relations, it is indeed best for him to handle it personally.

Zhubei also cast a grateful look at Xiaozhao, and then immediately changed her words: "That's right! After all, the Pearl Team is one of the three imperial families. It doesn't matter if you haven't come to the Pearl Village to say hello. Are you okay? And there are elders in our settlement who have always said they want to meet you. Anyway, there are so many things going on this time, so we just happened to do it together!"

Sure enough, Mingyao was a little shaken. He tilted his head and said hesitantly: "It seems that... there is some truth to it?"

"That's right! That's it, let's set off tomorrow!"
