After coming out of the forest below Mount Chimney, Aoki collected all the Pokémon in order to hurry.
Then, sitting on the Tropius and Steven riding on the Skarmory, they rushed to Verdanturf Town together.
...
Hoenn region.
The concave and convex mountain road above Verdanturf Town.
In a hidden karst cave inside the middle of Bump Mountain Road.
A huge meeting room is inside here.
In the conference room, a middle-aged man with red hair and wearing a red and black windbreaker, with his hands behind his back, was standing at the head of the conference table, looking condescendingly at the people sitting in the conference room. People on both sides.
The people sitting at various positions on the conference table were of different colors, but no one dared to look at the red-haired middle-aged man.
The atmosphere was a little frozen.
The people sitting in the conference room adjusted their breathing to the weakest state one after another, fearing that the people above would seize the opportunity and take the knife on themselves.
However, the three sitting at the front, that is, the three closest to the red-haired middle-aged man, were not so restrained.
Although they were a little afraid of the aura of the red-haired middle-aged man, it wasn't to the point where they couldn't even breathe freely.
Silence, I don't know how long it lasted in the conference room.
The passage of time feels very slow to the people in the conference room.
"Yesterday! Someone entered Mount Chimney without authorization! He was accidentally discovered by members of the alliance, and now he has been arrested by the alliance investigators. There is also a middle-level member with a relatively high status. Tell me, how to deal with this matter?" The red-haired middle-aged man said slowly, with a trace of unquestionable majesty in his tone.
Hearing his words, the people below all looked at each other, wanting to discuss in whispers, but suddenly thought that the red-haired middle-aged man was in a fit of anger, and now was not the time to act recklessly.
Look at the nose with the eyes, and watch the heart with the nose.
Anyway, it doesn't have much to do with me, just sit down and be honest.
The red-haired middle-aged man looked at the person below who didn't move at all, and couldn't help frowning.
Glancing at a fat man with a wide body and a fat body sitting on his right hand, he said, "Huocun, tell me!"
Hearing the middle-aged leader shout his name, the fat man named Huocun smiled awkwardly, stood up quickly, and said to the leader, "Boss! This time I didn't manage well! The trouble I left behind, I will solve it!"
After speaking, the middle-aged man was about to get up and leave.
"Wait a minute." But when he left, he was stopped by a middle-aged man.
Immediately, Huocun was overjoyed. A leader wanted to ask him to sit down, so he wanted to open his mouth again, but he heard the middle-aged man say, "Huocun, since it is your responsibility, this time things should be done cleanly. The person was taken away by the alliance investigator, and now he should also be locked up in the headquarters of the investigator in the Hoenn region. I hope that the people you cultivated have not revealed the location of our headquarters."
Speaking of the last part, Huocun felt his body was a little cold.
He felt the suppressed anger in the leader's heart, but because he was his capable subordinate, he didn't settle accounts with himself.
Team Magma is not yet ready to be born.
Thinking in his heart, Huocun nodded firmly. In general, he went directly to the prison at the Hoenn District Investigator Headquarters, found Butler, and let him be dealt with before revealing too much information about Team Magma. Just drop it.
It's not the first time Huocun has done this kind of thing.
There are still some Team Magma nails in the league.
The red-haired middle-aged man just now is the leader of Team Magma, Maxie!
He was able to get the news so quickly precisely because Team Magma had some nails and eyeliners in the league.
This kind of thing is not only done by Team Magma; I believe his old opponent, Archie's Team Aqua, probably also sent people into the league.
It's just that for this kind of thing, the alliance really can't avoid it. After all, if an ant gets mixed into a huge monster, trying to find it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"It's just that after the disposal this time, the number of nails will be reduced by one-third!" Maxie couldn't help sighing.
Inserting so many nails really cost him an unknown amount of resources. That is, Huocun's strength in Team Magma is considered top-notch, otherwise, someone made such a mistake, and he would have sent him to see Gula long ago.
After Huocun left.
"Hokage, I'm not at ease in the village. Follow up and have a look. If you meet someone from the Alliance, don't hold your hand! It's all settled! Remember! Team Magma is not ready yet." After thinking for a while, Maxie said to the man in the second position on his left.
(A/N I have no idea why it says Hokage but there is no better way to say it..)
The man with a thin body and hair covering one eye, only showing one eye, nodded solemnly.
Then, with strange fluctuations, it disappeared into the meeting room.
Naruto! One of Team Magma's three big fires is a psychic power user. Although he doesn't have psychic powers like Sabrina, it's not comparable to Aoki's level.
(A/N I have no idea why Naruto is mentioned. Naruto is not a part of the story…)
When he left just now, it was teleportation, but it didn't rely entirely on his own psychic power, but with the help of his psychic Pokémon to complete the teleportation together.
Team Magma Three Fires! They are Maxie's three right-hand men in Team Magma. The existence of the three of them can be said to be indispensable for Team Magma to develop to this point.
However, Team Magma is not the only one with strong strength.
In the first few seats of this meeting room, there are still some people who can let Maxie hand over the task with confidence.
"Ember, take over the matter in Huocun's hands first, and then hand it over to you when he comes back from completing the task." Maxie said, looking at a thin, slightly handsome young man sitting in the lower seat of Huocun.
Ember stood up slowly, bowed to Maxie, and replied, "Yes! Leader!"
This subordinate has also joined Team Magma for a while. Apart from the Three Fires, Maxie is the subordinate who relies more on him. His ability and means of handling things also allow Maxie to trust him to handle the matter.
But no one saw that when Ember sat down, some unknown light shone in his originally respectful eyes, which was very complicated and amazing.
...
After flying for more than three hours, Aoki and Steven, who were riding a Tropius and a Skarmory, successfully arrived in Verdanturf Town.
Only two days after leaving, Verdanturf Town experienced another major change.
On the street opposite the Gym in Aoki, a new high-rise building has been erected, second only to the Gym in height.
Pokémon Center!
And in the town center of Verdanturf Town, a tall building was also built. According to the huge medal hanging on it, it should be the police station of the Alliance.
The Gym, the Pokémon Center, and the Alliance Police Station have all been built in Verdanturf Town.
Everything was ready, and the owner of the Gym, Aoki, came to announce that Verdanturf Town had officially entered a period of rapid expansion.
