Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 365 Discussion

After taking the phone from Sayuri, Shota said to Daigo on the other end of the line:

"I'm on Sayuri's side, are you ready on your side?"

"Yes, I'm in the First Legion's meeting room right now, waiting for you."

Listening to Daigo's answer on the phone, Shota's mouth curled up into an evil smile, and Sayuri, who was sitting on his lap, looked extremely confused after her nose was wiped.

She tilted her head, looked at Shota and asked:

"Is there some unspeakable secret between you and my brother? Why can't I understand a word you are saying?"

Looking at Sayuri who looked puzzled, Shota touched her cute little head and then said:

"Wait a minute and you'll find out."

After answering Sayuri's question, Shota turned around and spoke into the phone in his hand:

"I'll bring Sayuri over now."

After saying this, Shota hung up the phone, then carried Sayuri and used instant teleportation to leave the attic on the roof of Devon Company.

Hearing the beeping sound of the phone being hung up, Daigo put down the phone in his hand and said to the man standing beside him, who was lifting his glasses with his middle finger:

"Good man, wait a moment. By the way, let the guard at the door see them and let them in."

"Yes, Master."

A few minutes later, the guard's voice was heard outside the meeting room of the First Military Camp:

"Sir, those two men are here."

As the door opened, Shota looked at the man wearing glasses and smiling at him, smiled back, and then pulled Sayuri into the conference room.

There were not many people in the conference room, only Sayuri, Shota, Daigo, and Zento Tsuneki. What they were going to discuss next would be a major event that would determine the future direction of the entire Hoenn region.

In the conference room, after listening to Shota's story about the rebellion, Sayuri's eyes were filled with shock, but she didn't remain silent for long. She raised her head and said to Daigo:

"I support you, brother. Let me deal with the gossip and potential dangers of the family. You can just go ahead and do it."

As she spoke, Sayuri did not forget to look at Shota, who was sitting beside her and picking his fingernails. She seemed to be expecting something in her eyes.

Facing Sayuri's gaze, Shota thought for a moment, patted her head to show praise and encouragement, then looked at the two single dogs staring at him and Sayuri and said:

"Stop looking at us so strangely and let's talk business."

As he said that, Shota turned his head and looked at the man standing behind Daigo, Zifuki, and said:

"Do you have any good ideas? After all, I haven't attended a military school for a day."

Listening to Shota's seemingly Versailles words, and the possible hint of sarcasm in his tone, Zfuki frowned and then said:

“I believe that the purpose of our war is not to kill or achieve any so-called victory, but to demonstrate strength to representatives of various regions.

The best way to demonstrate our strength is undoubtedly to subdue the armies of various regions in an instant, but we cannot go too far, that is, we cannot cause too much damage to the armies of various regions. Otherwise..."

Mr. Zifuqi did not finish his words, but everyone present knew what he was going to say next:

If they go too far, not only will they fail to achieve the purpose of demonstrating their strength, but they will anger the superiors in various regions and bring another war disaster to the Hoenn region.

But after listening to what Mr. Zifuki said, Shota slammed the table and said:

"Don't worry about the consequences, just fight. I will be responsible for the negotiations when the time comes."

Looking at Shota who stood up and slammed the table, listening to what he said, Zfuki frowned, and said in order to push up his glasses:

"I originally thought you were a calm and composed guy, but I didn't expect you to be so impulsive. It seems that I was wrong. I really don't know how you won against me in the war on Route 111. It's probably because you got lucky."

Seeing that Shota did not refute, Zifuki Zento continued to rebuke:

"What do you have to negotiate with? Your head? Or did you push the young master to launch this rebellion just to plunge the Hoenn region into the disaster of war once again? And to put my young master and the old master into a conflict from which there is no turning back!"

"That's enough! Good man, I don't allow you to talk to Shouta like that."

"Master..."

Facing Daigo's stern gaze, Zento Zifuki sighed, then slowly retreated behind Daigo. As he stepped back, he did not forget to glare at Shota fiercely.

Of course, Shota ignored the kind look from Zifuki. He turned his head towards Daigo, who seemed a little worried, and said:

"Daigo, do you believe me?"

After hesitating for a moment, Daigo nodded, but still spoke:

"But without complete certainty, I always feel a little uneasy."

Seeing that Daigo still looked a little doubtful, Shota had no choice but to speak directly to the point about the chips in his hand.

"Daigo, the second daughter of the Yuto family is in my hands."

As soon as Shota said this, there was an exclamation in the meeting. The exclamation did not come from Daigo, but also from Mr. Zifuki.

"Is what you said true?"

Looking at Daigo, both of them and the good man Zifuki spoke in unison.

Shota simply nodded at this, indicating the truth of his words.

“But even if we have such a bargaining chip in our hands, it won’t make the Kanto Alliance and the Johto Alliance give up. It might even cause them to feel disgusted and angry.

Moreover, even if we don’t consider the alliances that rank far behind us, we don’t have any bargaining chips to use in negotiations with the Sinnoh Alliance, which ranks behind us and poses a threat.”

After listening to Mr. Zifuki's clear and logical analysis, everyone turned their eyes to Shota again.

But Shota didn't give any explanation. He just glanced at Sayuri who was sitting next to him and Daigo who was sitting in front of him, and said:

"You two, do you trust me?"

As soon as Shota said this, Sayuri immediately raised her hand to express her opinion and said:

"I trust you unconditionally."

Sayuri said as she took Shota's hand with a happy smile on her face.

Then, Shota and Sayuri turned their attention to Daigo.

Facing the gazes from the two people, Daigo hesitated for a moment and then expressed his thoughts.
