night.
Shaanxi Airport.
The man in the black suit glanced at his watch on his right hand, frowning. Although he tried to appear gentle, his deep eyes still revealed an indifference.
Turning my head to look at the man next to me, dressed in an earthy yellow shirt.
"Mr. Long, when will those four people arrive?"
Uncle Big Nose shrugged: "I don't know. You know, planes in Donghuang aren't like high-speed trains; they're never on time. Anyway, they've boarded the plane without incident. But to be honest, Mr. Chi Ri, you didn't need to come to pick them up in person."
"It's alright. Team Galactic is the technical support for this tomb exploration. As an investor, I should also express my sincerity to my companions who have come from afar to provide assistance. Moreover, as a Sinnoh person, I have some connection with that Sinnoh champion."
"Okay, but I heard that Team Galactic is focused on developing cosmic energy, so why are they suddenly interested in the Eastern Empire's tomb?"
"We encountered a bottleneck in development, so we came to Donghuang to try our luck. We're providing some necessary technical support, and we hope that Donghuang can cooperate with Team Galaxy after they produce research results." Chi Ri gave a flawless reason as an entrepreneur.
"Alright." Uncle Long didn't know how to continue the conversation. Although he could scale walls and leap across rooftops in the ruins, he wasn't good at talking to merchants.
In fact, from the moment he entered the airport, Chi Ri stood at attention with his hands behind his back, looking very serious, so much so that he thought the person next to him was not just a businessman, but a leader of an army or the leader of a mysterious organization.
"Actually, there's one more thing," Akari coughed and brought up the topic, "Sinnoh is the birthplace of the creation myth, and most Sinnoh people have a strong interest in history. I'm no exception. I came here this time as a personal history enthusiast to visit the legends of this ancient land."
"A people who can master and wield divine power."
"Haha, you're exaggerating." Uncle Long chuckled. If it were before, he would have been happy that Chi Ri was interested in history, rather than a dull and boring businessman who only cared about profit.
But now, hearing this statement makes him extremely wary.
That's so classic. Almost every time someone says those words while exploring ruins, without any surprise, they end up trying to stab you in the back the moment they see the treasure.
He sighed inwardly, wondering when this cycle of being betrayed by investors, team members, and even pretty girls on the street during every archaeological excavation would finally end.
Why not just resign after this event and become a university professor?
"Buyi." An Eevee wearing a tan hat and a small archaeological outfit came up to Uncle Long's feet, raised its paw, pressed his foot, and took out a biscuit from its pocket.
"Thank you, Xiaoyu, but I'm not hungry right now. You can eat it yourself, but remember to save room for dinner," Uncle Long said earnestly, then immediately sensed something was wrong. "Where did you get your cookies? Did you run off again?"
"Buyi~" Xiaoyu smiled mischievously and started eating her biscuits.
"Is this your partner?" Akari asked, looking at Eevee sitting on the ground, munching on a biscuit.
"Yes, actually, without her, I would have perished during one of those ruin explorations long ago," Uncle Long said proudly, glancing at the Poké Ball on Red Sun's waist. "Mr. Red Sun must have a good relationship with Pokémon, right?"
"So-so." Akari's tone suddenly turned cold.
"Okay." Uncle Long scratched his head, wondering if he had touched on this man's dark past or something else entirely.
A roaring sound came from the dark sky as a massive steel behemoth stretched out its legs, nearly sparking as it struck the ground.
"Our friends seem to have arrived."
After the plane came to a stop, the two walked slowly forward. Akari had a cold face, not because he was in a bad mood, but simply because it was too tiring to control the muscles on his face to make an expression. Although the Sinnoh champion did deserve to wear a kind smile and pretend to be a nice guy, she would not hold back against him just because she had a good impression of him.
That's how the adult world is. One second they can shake hands and make peace, but the next they might find that the other person has infringed on their interests. They might let go with a forced smile, go back to their room, pull out their prepared cameras, and wish they could send the other person's room to the heavens the next second.
Team Galactic didn't come to Eastward for charity. Hunter J was captured by Eastward, disrupting their plan to capture the Sinnoh Trio, forcing them to seek opportunities in the Eastward tombs.
This whole thing is related to Cynthia. If it weren't for Cynthia's miraculous intervention, Hunter J might have been able to escape from the Eastern Empire alone. When someone has nothing, that's the best time to recruit them.
Unfortunately, Hunter J failed, and their plans were also affected.
So when he heard that Donghuang was planning to parachute in a team, he was the one with the most objections. But Donghuang is not Sinnoh; his company and businesses have not spread throughout this land. So his opinion is not important to Donghuang, and is even less important than the Sinnoh champion title.
He had no doubt that if Cynthia frowned and sensed something was wrong while they were eating together, she would put her fork to his throat without saying a word, not even giving him a chance to slam his fist on the table.
As for the students, the students trained by the Sinnoh champion have no chance of being recruited to betray Cynthia, so they are not worth welcoming with a smile. It is better to put on a stern face and give them some pressure, so that they will think twice before they act and prevent them from getting in their way on this land.
If we could find an opportunity to exclude them, along with Cynthia, from the tomb exploration team, that would be ideal.
Standing in front of the boarding stairs, Akari stared at the slowly opening cabin door, his facial features becoming more pronounced. Team Galactic had once teased Akari about his appearance, saying he looked like a Gyarados, with an intimidating quality, especially when he squinted, focused, and tried to see things clearly.
If he's smiling, he looks like an overconfident Gyarados.
So much so that when Chi Ri heard about it, he privately compared himself to the mirror.
The final conclusion was reached.
The team members have pretty sharp eyes.
He even looked like a Mega Gyarados when he wore a black suit.
He thought this was good; as the leader of an organization, one needs authority, ideally an authority that can make competitors lose their composure.
Until the clanging of footsteps approached, accompanied by the voices of passengers.
"To be honest, first class isn't much better than economy class. Sleeping in it feels like you've been beaten up. I'm thinking of applying for a nationwide flight permit from the league next time, so I can ride my flying Pokémon wherever I want to go. I get a little airsick, so ladies first."
"Actually, flying with Pokémon isn't as wonderful as you think. It's windy and cold, and you can't do anything. Do you know how it feels to open a bag of snacks and end up eating nothing but air?" Cynthia complained before joking, "I think the captain should be prioritized."
The conversation between the two startled Akari. He was surprised that Cynthia wasn't the captain. He immediately became curious about who could be above Cynthia.
"Miss Cynthia, did you bring any other novels?" Nemo was somewhat addicted to novels, and sighed when Cynthia said she only brought one.
"You can actually watch the online version, but can your Padia phone connect to Donghuang's network?" Papa said.
A wonderful sense of relaxation washes over you during friendly casual conversation.
Four people dressed in casual clothes walked down the stairs. Akari stared at the captain standing on the ground, stunned.
She was a student with a high ponytail, exuding a touch of ancient charm. Her expression was relaxed and cheerful. After standing on the ground, she moved to the other side, opened her arms, stretched her body, yawned, and shook her head, as if a husky that had been locked in a cage for a long time had finally breathed the air of freedom.
A student? Donghuang actually sent a student to lead the team?
Wei Xin sensed the presence and gaze, noticing the man in front of him with a frozen expression, exuding an aura of utter contempt, a bunch of lowlifes and pretentious charlatans, a "keep away" attitude, and an even greater warning to strangers and acquaintances to get lost. He would slap a woman once and a man twice, a man with an overwhelmingly aloof and self-absorbed aura.
Where did this Squidward come from?
Wait, the nose is a bit small, and this face looks so familiar.
What the hell is Chi Ri? How come he's in Donghuang?
It's a pity for Wei Xin. Where is the plane parked? Is this still Donghuang?
The Galactic Team has extended their reach to the Eastern Empire? These guys are planning something big in the Eastern Empire—
Countless thoughts surged in Wei Xin's mind, eventually coalescing into a single idea.
There's an old saying in Donghuang that goes, "Since you're here, make the best of it."
Since we've come to Donghuang, let's bury him here.
You inherently evil God of Origin, I will personally take you down—
His expression froze instantly, his brows furrowed, and before he could make a move, the Poké Ball at his waist activated, and a giant blue-haired Gardevoir landed on the ground, appearing beside Wei Xin. It squinted, its amber eyes casting a wary gaze.
The previously relaxed air instantly froze, like frozen clouds about to crash onto the ground.
The moment his dark pupils ignited, a terrifying aura spread throughout the airport, startling Eevee into its Poké Ball. This caused Red Sun to shudder, loosening his hands from behind his back, his back drenched in sweat.
