Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 317: Night Meeting with Daigo

In the next few days, Shota chose the cabinet's side as expected, but he also approached Daigo at the same time.

In the dead of night, the breeze gently blows across the ground, bringing a hint of coolness. The bright moonlight shines down like a veil, through the dense branches, and the mottled light and shadows are projected on the ground, like a mysterious and beautiful painting.

These lights and shadows sway and change with the night wind, sometimes interweaving into one, sometimes dispersing, adding a dreamlike atmosphere to the whole night.

In this tranquil environment, everything seems so quiet and peaceful, making people intoxicated and feel the charm and warmth of nature.

However, there was a man standing on the balcony of a spacious reception room. This man was none other than Shota, who had come to see Daigo.

Seeing the figure suddenly appear on the balcony, Daigo was startled at first and asked sternly:

"who!"

And he was answered by a voice that was not familiar:

"I."

Listening to the voice, Daigo thought of what happened a few days ago, then he opened the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony with a smile on his face.

Looking at this man whom I had met a few days ago, he was wearing the uniform of an alliance investigator, and there was an obvious S mark on the place that indicated his identity.

Seeing this, Daigo frowned slightly, but quickly concealed it, and opened the floor-to-ceiling window with a smile on his face.

As the floor-to-ceiling windows slowly folded upwards under the command of the remote control, Shota walked in with a smile on his face.

Looking at Shota who was sitting down on the sofa in a very casual manner, Daigo looked at the Alliance Investigator's uniform on him. Although he was not happy about it, he still congratulated him:

"Congratulations, Shouta, the league's top investigator."

As he spoke, Daigo walked to his private cupboard, gently opened the door, and carefully took out a bottle of red wine.

This bottle of red wine lies quietly in the cabinet, as if waiting to be awakened.

Daigo gently shook the bottle in his hand, and the red wine in the bottle flowed slowly like a dark red torrent.

With a crisp "pop" sound, the bottle cap was opened, and a rich and charming aroma of wine gushed out instantly.

The fragrant smell of wine was like an invisible hand, quietly spreading out and enveloping the entire space.

It is like a breeze, lightly brushing across people's noses; it is also like a piece of gauze, gently caressing the air.

The aroma of this wine, with its light fruity aroma and barrel-aged aroma, makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves. It seems to have a kind of magic that can arouse people's deep yearning and pursuit for a better life. At this moment, time seems to have frozen, and everything is immersed in this wonderful atmosphere.

Daigo took a deep breath, an intoxicated look appeared on his face, then he turned to Shota and said:

"This is my favorite bottle of wine. I brought it out to celebrate your becoming the Supreme Alliance Investigator. Remember to taste it carefully and don't let it down."

Looking at the half bottle of wine being poured into a small cup by Daigo, Shota was not curious about it. He just took the small cup from Daigo's hand and drank it all.

Seeing Shota wasting so much, Daigo frowned and was about to say something, but then stopped.

Daigo sighed, sat down on the sofa, sipped his drink, and said to Shota:

"Tell me, what is your purpose in coming to me? Are you here to arrest me, or what? A person with superpowers, a person with the power of Evergreen."

When Shota heard Daigo's evaluation of him, he did not show much surprise. After all, Tokiwa's power was revealed in the tournament, and he was the one who revealed his superpowers to Daigo. This was also to show his energy and show that he had something to talk about.

Looking at Daigo who was immersed in the feeling of wine tasting, out of evil taste, Shota wanted to interrupt the pleasure that only a rich second-generation could experience. He turned his head to look at the stones in Daigo's collection and said:

"I heard from others that you like stones, but I didn't expect you also like fine wine."

Hearing Shota's judgment of himself, Daigo seemed to remember something unhappy, and said in a very depressed tone:

"Forget about the stones. I don't know which heartless guy stole even the stones. All my treasures were stolen."

It was rare to see Daigo with such a depressed expression, and Shota's lips curled up into a triumphant smile, but he quickly concealed it.

But Daigo still saw it. He sighed, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said to Shota:

"Supreme Alliance Investigator Shota, if you are here simply to laugh at me, then please go back first."

Looking at Daigo's serious face, Shota felt that he had hit his sore spot. However, now was not the time to joke around. Shota's face became serious, and he said to Daigo:

"Tell me your purpose, your purpose for the alliance, or your Zvochi family's purpose for the alliance."

Hearing Shota's straightforward question, Daigo was about to open his mouth to refute without thinking, but was interrupted by:

“No need to hide it, we are all smart people. Since I can ask you directly, it means that I already know some of the reasons.

If your words can move me, or if your purpose coincides with mine.

I will consider assisting you, because, in my eyes, the alliance has long been rotten, and even if I become the highest investigator, I can't change this situation, and I can't change the situation that people are living in dire straits now."

Looking at Shota's serious expression, the lazy Daigo sat up from the sofa and stared into Shota's eyes.

After a few minutes of silence, Daigo looked at Shota seriously and asked:

"Do you want to hear the true history of the Zvochi family?"

Seeing Shota nod slightly, Daigo sat up straight and began to tell the history of the development of the Kizuchi family:

"In fact, everyone knows that my father, Zfuchi Mujin, came to Kanaz City and started from scratch. He climbed up step by step and finally defeated his biggest competitor, Hai Zijin, and became the only one in Kanaz City. Later, he grew to the current scale."

Sea Corydalis was once an undersea energy mining platform under the Great Corydalis Holdings Co., Ltd. The company suffered a huge blow due to the termination of the New Corydalis Project and eventually went bankrupt, and Sea Corydalis was abandoned.

Before the facilities were demolished, investigators discovered that the area had a unique ecological environment, so the Sea Corydalis was preserved as a nature reserve. Years later, the ruins and the environment merged to form a special landscape, and the Sea Corydalis was transformed into a tourist attraction.
