"Got it." Aliana's voice sounded in Lysandre's headphones.
Hear what Lysandre said.
Aoki was ready.
In order to prevent the League from becoming suspicious, Lysandre was quite thoughtful.
"Weavile, Houndoom! Come out!" A female voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
Lance's face straightened, and the doubts in his heart dissipated a lot. He said to Aoki, "Aoki, you download the data first, I will hold them back."
Aoki nodded, took out the data download device used exclusively by investigators, and started executing it directly on the computer.
The battle had already begun outside the door.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The roar of battle rang out from outside.
It looked quite realistic.
"Lance, we've got the stuff, let's prepare to retreat." Aoki said to Lance through the headset.
"Good!"
After saying that, Lance commanded the Charizard and the Aerodactyl to directly repel the opponent, and then he and Aoki came into the room.
"Are you ready?" He asked as he put away the download device and a Ralts appeared in his arms.
"Let's go!" As he said that, Lance took out the Poké Ball and put the Charizard and Aerodactyl back into the Poké Ball.
The two of them disappeared from the spot through Teleport.
Seeing them disappear, Aliana didn't say much, she put her hand on her glasses and said, "Mr. Lysandre, they have already obtained the information and retreated."
"Very good."
Lysandre continued, "Clean up the research institute, and then hold a press conference tomorrow to announce what happened today, but don't say it was done by the League. Say it was an invasion by corporate espionage, and apply for protection from the League."
In this way, the League would not take any action against the Lysandre Institute for some time to come.
After the League analyzed the data, it would not have too many thoughts about the Lysandre Institute.
Among the data downloaded by Aoki today, some research was indeed in the gray area, but how many organizations in the Pokémon world did not conduct gray research at all?
The League that got the result should feel relieved for a while.
This period of time was the best time for Team Flare to develop.
Through Ralts's Teleport, Aoki and Lance appeared in the Pokémon Center.
"Tsk, you know what, the skill of Teleport is really convenient. It seems that I will find an opportunity in the future to capture a Pokémon with this skill." Lance couldn't help but sigh.
The Teleport move could indeed make the investigator's mission proceed more smoothly.
However, not everyone could be recognized by Psychic-type Pokémon.
Especially for Pokémon that could use Teleport, the requirements for Trainers were even higher.
However, with Lance's ability, it was not difficult to capture a Psychic-type Pokémon that could use Teleport.
It didn't need to be a combat Pokémon, just using Teleport was enough.
But one thing must be said, that was, the talents of Psychic-type Pokémon in spatial perception were also different, so the distance of Teleport depended on their own abilities.
"I believe you should have one at home. Just take one and use it temporarily. There shouldn't be any problem." Aoki joked with a smile.
However, Lance did not answer and remained silent.
"What's wrong?"
"If possible, I don't actually want to rely on my family." Having said that, Lance sat down on the chair next to him.
Aoki secretly curled his lips in his heart.
This was the typical idea of a rich kid, right?
I don't really want to rely on my family.
Actually, I don't want to have that much money, just enough to get by, maybe a few billion or so.
Actually, I don't want so many rights. It's enough to ensure my own safety. It's no problem to have a hundred or eighty bodyguards.
These people had never experienced the hardship of the lower class people, so of course they thought it was nothing, but they didn't know that it was a lifelong luxury for others.
"You know I actually live in Viridian City, right? But the Dragon Taming Clan is in Blackthorn City in Johto."
Lance continued, "I don't really have much feeling about the family. It's just that my uncle found me and took me back to the Dragon Taming Clan and gave me some help. Some things are no longer so clear. The more help I get from the family, the more I have to give back to the family."
Aoki said nothing and patted Lance's shoulder again.
In fact, he knew a little about Lance's story, but now it had become a foregone conclusion and could not be changed.
If there was a family willing to provide him with so much help, unlimited supply of Pokémon, and the best pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Aoki thought...
I would like to too!
Give me a hundred families like this!
But they were a minority after all, just think about it.
"Take as much as you can to help me, since you can't pay it back now anyway.
Just go and see how the people at the bottom of this world survive when you have the chance." Aoki said, and turned back to his room.
Lance looked at Aoki's back with a hint of surprise.
He didn't know what he meant.
In fact, even though Lance had lived in Viridian City since he was a child, he was a member of the Dragon Clan after all, and his living standard was much better than that of ordinary families, let alone those poor people at the bottom of society.
He always thought that what he experienced as a child was actually the life of an ordinary person.
But he didn't know that ordinary people actually had a much harder life than he imagined.
Just wanting to break free from the quagmire at the bottom of society would require them to spend their entire lives working hard, and they might not necessarily succeed.
Lance still knew too little about the darkness at the bottom of this society.
After sitting in his seat and thinking for half an hour, Lance still didn't get any results and returned to his room.
The mission was completed. The data had been transmitted to the League through the previous download device. As long as Lance completed his own evaluation, everything would be over.
What happened next would be decided by the League's top leaders themselves.
...
The next day.
In the battle field in the backyard of the Pokémon Center.
The two Pokémon were fighting fiercely.
However, there was no one watching around because someone had booked the entire place.
"Slowking, your final mental strength will determine your success or failure!"
"Dragonite, Dragon Tail, end the battle!"
A Dragonite swooped down from the sky, while another pink Pokémon, although seemingly slow, had the upper hand in releasing moves.
Boom!
Hit one after another.
"Roar----"
Dragonite flew backwards, his feet sliding on the ground for a long distance. After he stood firm, he roared loudly, and ice chips could be seen still on his stomach.
After the smoke cleared, a Slowking that had been in the middle of the battle was kneeling on one knee on the ground, panting heavily, with sweat all over his head, obviously having reached his limit.
"Let's stop here, Aoki. Your Slowking really surprised me, as well as your command ability. If Dragonite wasn't for the big advantage in strength, I would have almost been defeated by your tactics." Lance smiled and walked over with Dragonite.
