"Ah Rope, are you sure you want to look into the Safari Zone?"
Rotom's screen displayed Professor Oak's face with a worried scowl. Apparently Professor Oak was eating instant noodles, but this sudden call and abrupt news from Rope still made him lose his appetite to proceed to eat...
"I didn't want to, but professor, I've already promised them, I can't go back on my word, right?" Rope said with a playful grin while striding forward.
"That's why I said that you're really impulsive...you have to realize that the forces standing behind Safari Zone are just too many...after all, a place like Safari Zone isn't unique to one of our places in Kanto, but rather, basically all the regions have a similar place... and Johto and Hoenn are even under the same same management model... many people's cakes will be moved if you move like this."
Professor Oak looked helplessly at the impulsive guy in front of him, rather speechless.
"Hehehe, that's why I'm not giving you a call in advance to see if you can give me some help? It's true that I didn't have the idea of touching someone else's cake. I'm a person who likes to eat sweet things, but not too mushy ones. And this cake is too mushy... I just want to improve the survival of the Pokémon in Safari Zone so that they don't have to live so tiredly..."
Rope also said with a sarcastic smile.
In fact, of course he knew that once he got involved, it would cause a lot of alarm and even hostility, but there were some things he really had to do.
The original intention of the establishment of his discipline was to maintain relative fairness between both Pokémon and humans as much as possible. After all, once the Pokémon were really made to complain. Then it would only be a matter of time before the War of the Beasts broke out again.
And it wasn't like the War of the Beasts back then.
Probably because of the approaching time of the collapse of the world that Rope knew, almost all of the Legendary Pokémon had awakened from their slumber...
And once they participated in the War of the Beasts, the chances of the humans' victory would not be very high... And even if they were to win, it would definitely be a disastrous victory. Of course, if the Pokémon were to win, things would be no better.
Underneath the victory will be white bones...
Rope isn't sure what form the final collapse of the world will take, so he has to do his best to gather as much power as he can to fight against the Tribulation. And it's just too hard to top a War of the Beasts right before the Extinction Plague...
"Emm, I know what you're thinking too... I've heard about the mess in the Safari Zone for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be this messy either... "Professor Oak pondered for a while, then said, "Tell you what, you should leave this matter alone. I'll take care of it, either of us will be thought to be the Oak family trying to get involved and cause a backlash. But if I'm the one to do it, the backlash should be a little less than yours..."
Rope raised an eyebrow, then said, "Professor, it just occurred to me...what if Whitley and I just take care of the investigation, and the post-cleaning and reporting is done by the others to do it?"
"Who are you going to hand it over to... Lance, or the other Elite Four... it's no use... there's a group of people standing behind the Elite Four champions... the oldies have been fighting with each other for so many years, so they're bound to not let go of their hands in this situation..." Professor Oak pondered for a moment, then poured cold water on Rope.
"What if it's for the new Pokémon Ranger forces to step in?"
A smile appeared on Rope's face.
Professor Oak gently raised an eyebrow, "Pokémon Ranger?I believe it was an upstart force that just emerged from the Fiore, Almia, and Oblivia regions in the past few years? It's already joined the Alliance, and I've been studying them for a while because of their interesting gear."
"It's them, the far-flung, upstart little power that can hold it down but won't be crushed to death, and there hasn't been a lot of prior conflict, it's not a do-or-die situation. More importantly, both the Pokémon Ranger and the Alliance should be happy with this. In Kanto, a place where the division of power is basically set, they need to open an opening if they want to intervene... I'm giving them this opening now, and I'm sure they shouldn't miss it..."
Rope smiled like a little fox that had stolen a chicken...
However, Rope was right, what he said was true. If Pokémon Ranger, as a foreign emerging force, wanted to establish a firm foothold in the region, it wouldn't be possible to rely on the Alliance's support alone, not to mention that the Alliance itself had different opinions about the Pokémon Ranger organization.
And now Rope has put the opportunity in front of them. Even if they knew that Rope was using them, it was hard for them to refuse. It's the yang scheme.
And the Alliance doesn't really care who controls the Safari Zone...
But it's important to the Alliance to make the big corporations and families that are often so contrary to the Alliance unhappy...
So naturally, the Alliance will be happy to see it happen.
Thus, Rope has moved from the front of the stage to the back of the curtain, with all the firepower going towards the Pokémon Ranger organization, and Rope stooping down and hiding his work, and the Pokémon Ranger organization still owes him a favor. The Pokémon Ranger organization still owes him a favor. The old powers hate to kill him, but they can't do anything about it... The Oak family and even Rope himself are not vegetarians.
Who were the clans that hadn't even bred an Elite Four Champion to bargain with a Pokémon Professor? Although the power of the family is great, but the Professor and the Elite Four Champion and so on could have become a family...
In fact, there are not many Elite Four Champions who don't have their own power...
Lorelei, who came from the Sevii Islands, and Bruno, who has the legacy of a fighter, are not the only ones who have the power to make a deal with a Pokémon Professor. Lorelei from the Sevii Islands, Bruno with his fighting heritage, Granny Agatha from the famous Ghost family, and the famous Dragon Master Lance.
The Kanto area is simply the place where the big families have the most serious inward spiral.
That's why Rope's introduction of a new power can actually lower the vigilance of the other big families. And as Pokémon Ranger, who stood behind the alliance, was in essence actually less competitive with the clans...
I have to say, this was indeed a brilliant move.
"Not a bad idea, it didn't fail to live up to what I've been teaching you all along..." said Professor Oak as he rubbed his chin and smiled.
Rope gave Professor Oak a blank stare and said, "Okay, an it's settled, then professor you contact the Pokémon Ranger side for me."
Professor Oak went from being all glowing to blowing his beard and eyes in a second.
"Bastard, still want to take me out to block arrows as well!"
Rope smiled sarcastically, "Don't say that, Professor, we're in the same boat!"
Professor Oak thought to himself: I don't believe you, you're just sharing the happiness, right...
Then he rolled his eyes at Rope again and hung up the call.
"Rope, isn't it a bad idea to drag Pokémon Ranger down with you?"
Whitley naturally heard the conversation between Rope and Professor Oak. And because she had met the two Pokémon Rangers before, so in addition to what Rope had told her, she herself had gone and searched for some Pokémon Ranger-related information, and thanks to Rope's professor privilege, she had also learned quite a lot of relatively hidden information about Pokémon Ranger.
As for why it's a relative secret... true secrets are not readily known. Most of them weren't even known by the Pokémon Ranger's themselves, so how could you expect them, the researchers, to find out by sharing their internal information?
However, Whitley still had a good feeling about the Pokémon Ranger organization, after all, the organization as a whole seemed to have no desires... plus the fact that something like the Pokémon Ranger was inherently dependent on the person. So the top management of the Pokémon Ranger organization are all people who have the most sincere love for Pokémon. After all, if you have an evil heart, you can't really use those wild Pokémon...
If you breed your own partner Pokémon, you'll only have one Pokémon, so you'll only have a surplus of resources...
Unlike trainers, who have six Pokémon if one can't do it, or two if one can't do it, you'll never have enough resources.... The more talented trainers are, the more they spend. The more talented a trainer is, the more resources he spends...
And the more talented a Pokémon Ranger is, the more money he saves...
So the stronger a Pokémon Ranger is, the more he doesn't want anything more...
So the overall image of the organization is really great! Whitley.
Naturally Whitley had a pretty good impression of the Pokémon Ranger organization.
"It's not like I'm trying to screw them over... You think the Pokémon Rangers are doing a good job now? They need more room to play if they want to practice what they preach, but where's the opportunity for them to play in the Kanto region now? That's why most of what they're doing right now is useless, their upper echelons are having an absolutely hard time right now, and they can't thank me enough for giving them a chance to open things up now."
Rope said with a shrug.
Neither of the two kept their feet moving, walking and talking along the way.
"But I still think this is quite bad..."
Whitley revealed a distressed and confused expression, there was one thing she really couldn't quite figure out, why Rope was clearly screwing people over, but still managed to say it as if he was doing it for the good of everyone, for the peaceful development of the world Rope shrugged his shoulders.
Rope shrugged, ''It's not like I'm a bad guy, I'm just giving them a choice. After that, if they don't work with me, the big deal is that I'll find someone else to work with, or I'll just stand in the foreground myself..."
Whitley thought about it, and it's true that if now if the other party agrees that's all that can be said about a willingness to fight... "Alright, but will the other party agree to you?"
Whitley asked again.
"There's no reason to refuse, of course, there's nothing to it."

Kanto Indigo Plateau Pokémon Ranger Organization Kanto Headquarters
A man was humming boredom in his office.
His legs were resting on his desk, his head was resting on his arms, his arms were resting on the back of his chair, he had a pen in his mouth, his eyes were closed, and he had fiery red hair.
He was humming a tune from the Almia region, shaking his head in a relaxed and laid back manner...
He had been living like this for a while now.
His name was Ichiki, he was a Pokémon Ranger from the Almia region, and now he was the Chief Pokémon Ranger of the Kanto region. back then, when he first came here, he was also full of pride and enthusiasm, thinking that since the Boss trusts me so much and lets me be the Chief Pokémon Ranger of the Kanto region, where the alliance originates from, I will definitely make achievements to show the Boss! I must make achievements to show the boss!
Then I came here and realized that there was no difference between being sent to the frontier and being sent here...
The Kanto region being the origin of the alliance, there is not a single up and coming family and power within the alliance, the old ones that are still standing today, that he can't toss around.
When he first arrived there were quite a few people who invited him to dinner, and there was sort of an endless stream of various social functions and dances.
But ever since his philosophy and attitude towards certain things became clear to people, he or rather the entire Pokémon Ranger organization in the Kanto region has been living a life of door-to-door, chaff-to-eat life together...
God have mercy... Fighting poaching is the job of the police and the entity Elite Four Champions, maintaining law and order was also their job, and the people trusted them, while they, the outsiders, seemed to be labeled as untrustworthy or simply not to be taken into account, resulting in them having little work to do other than patrolling the forests arranged by the Alliance and registering Overlord Pokémon to combat the poaching operations that appeared in front of them.
And the summarizing and tallying of those jobs was again a job for his men...
That led to him coming here and clocking in to work every day, which was reasonably good for touching fish at times like this, but who was he! He's Ichiki! He can't be lazy! He can't!
But there's really no work...
So between his boring life and his beliefs, Ichiki chose his beliefs.
That was the reason why he was so bored, but still sat there humming instead of plopping down in front of his computer and playing games or just skipping work.
"Ichiki Boss!" A Pokémon Ranger suddenly pushed open the door to his office and ran in, panicked, looking at him.
Ichiki's eyes let out two brilliant lights!
"What's up! There's a live one! Is it a major poaching event? Is it a Pokémon riot? Or some other kind of live??"
Ichiki's feet on the table were retracted, full of excitement.
"Er...no, not a job..."
Pokémon Ranger looked at his boss, who got excited when he heard of a job, and lowered his head a bit in shame.
Ichiki's aura instantly collapsed, leaning back in his chair and said listlessly, "What's up, go ahead, don't panic..."
"Professor Oak called and said he has something to discuss with you. "
Pokémon Ranger didn't beat around the bush and said bluntly.
"Oh~ Professor Oak? bring it over."
Ichiki frowned in surprise, wondering what Professor Oak meant by approaching him, but he had no reason to refuse.
"Hello, Professor Oak, I'm Ichiki... Yes, I'm the Chief Pokémon Ranger of the Kanto region...oh, that's right ah, I've actually heard about this matter for a while...what? You're asking us to be the main force in investigating this matter? No, no, no, it's not that we don't have that ability, it's just that we don't seem to have that right... Oh, Professor Rope, then I understand! We'll do it right! Don't worry about it! Well, thank you!"
Ichiki hangs up the phone, and then a jumps three feet in the air!
"Damn! Finally a job to do!"
