Chapter 504 New Era, New Masters
"This is too much." Yang Ming couldn't help but curl his lips. This description was almost like that of a local tyrant.
However, although Jones' description was a bit exaggerated, he was indeed an important figure in Manjin City now, and it was not an exaggeration to call him a local tyrant.
"Forget it. Listening to your report makes me more and more confused. Lingyin, you can sort out the detailed information and send it to me later. Everyone else can go back to your own business."
"As ordered!"
After the Battle of Paulownia Forest, the power structure of the various parties has changed dramatically. The rebellion led by Bixias was uprooted. Not only did Bixias die on the spot, but all of his key members were also killed, and even his secret bases in various parts of Johto were all confiscated. It can be said that the entire force was annihilated.
Another force that had a grudge against Yang Ming, the Poseidon Temple, was also destroyed in this battle, leaving only some younger and lower-level disciples alive. These surviving girls also became prisoners of Team Rocket, and their final outcome is probably not going to be very good.
The ending of the Hunter Organization was slightly better than the above two. The leader Hunter J barely escaped with his life, but her base in Kanto was uprooted by the Alliance, and her base in Johto was also cleansed out by Team Rocket. The Hunter Organization is likely to be completely devastated.
"It's what he deserves. He could have used his gray identity to move between the Alliance and Team Rocket, but he chose to participate in the rebellion of Bixias and the three major families. Hunter J deserved this fate purely out of his own will."
Yang Ming felt extremely happy to see his three enemies meet such a fate, and he felt a kind of joy like a farmer who had a good harvest.
Even the winners of this war suffered a great blow. The Bell Tower lost two of its elders and was no longer able to compete with other major forces for influence. After Team Rocket entered Johto, the Bell Tower, Hornbud Tower, and Scorch Tower decisively chose to compromise and acknowledged Team Rocket's leadership in Johto, only asking Team Rocket to guarantee the religious status of these major forces in Johto.
Team Rocket naturally accepted this. After all, the Bell Tower was built by the followers of the Ho-Oh, and there was no need to make enemies with them if they took the initiative to show goodwill. They not only accepted the Bell Tower's conditions, but also promised that as long as Entei, Raikou and Suicune did not take the initiative to become enemies with Team Rocket, they would not attack them either.
Yang Ming was not surprised by this result. In a sense, the Bell Tower was now a potential ally of the Rockets. In addition, he had a special relationship with Yan Di. The Rockets, who had just taken over the Johto region, really needed to win over the other party.
As for the Dragon Shrine, which had always been close to the alliance, the entire clan moved out of Johto.
Although the Alliance was one of the winners of this war, they still suffered a lot of losses due to the defection of Kazuki Tenno and the takeover of the Johto region by Team Rocket. The Kanto Alliance is currently resting and recuperating to avoid direct conflict with Team Rocket.
As the team that benefited the most from the war, the Rockets reaped rich rewards after the war. Not only did they take over the entire Chengdu, they also blatantly established the so-called "Rocket League", claiming that they were the orthodox alliance, and appointed Apollo as the first chairman of the "Rocket League".
This blatant humiliation naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction among the bigwigs of the alliance, but due to the situation, they could only make verbal protests.
In response, Team Rocket graciously stated that they would no longer issue wanted warrants or arrests for any members of the League in the Johto region. They also welcomed all members of the League to participate in all upcoming conferences of the Rocket League.
"Hahaha, I can imagine how angry those bigwigs in the alliance will be after seeing this statement."
In addition to Team Rocket, there is another beneficiary after this war, that is the Marokomon Group and the Galar region where he is located.
At the end of the battle, Sakaki used the Dynamax Wristband to allow Nidoking to Dynamax and instantly kill Bismarck and Deathly Hound. This footage was widely circulated among trainers around the world through videos and the Internet, arousing great interest from various strong people.
You know, before this, Gigantamaxing could only be used in Galar. Now this technology has been used worldwide, how can it not arouse the interest of those trainers? So a large number of trainers flocked to the Galar region, wanting to explore the secrets of Gigantamaxing or obtain Gigantamax wristbands.
The Marrokomon Group and Galar took the opportunity to issue a statement, saying that they could provide Gigantamax wristbands and related resources to other regions for free, and provide free guidance to these trainers to master the power of Gigantamax, provided that these trainers must register in the Galar region and stay for a period of time to learn Gigantamax knowledge. This move attracted more trainers to Galar, making the Galar region prosper rapidly.
After all, registering as a trainer in the Galar region would not bring them any losses. At most, they would only be asked to help when a crisis occurred in the Galar region. To be honest, even Yang Ming would find it difficult not to be tempted by such relaxed conditions.
But even so, there are still very few trainers who can successfully master Dynamax. Even elites find it difficult to succeed. At least one has to be a quasi-king level trainer to be sure of success.
Yang Ming looked at the information related to Dynamax and felt that the times were about to change drastically. With the old fox Ross joining forces with Sakaki, and with the addition of the Plasma Team hiding in the dark, the future of the alliance would probably not be easy.
Apart from that, there are some less important information, such as during the war, some prisoners of war from the Manjin Branch took advantage of the lack of defense to riot, but were eventually successfully suppressed with the help of Xiao Qian.
In addition, some people have seen traces of Lugia near the Orange Islands. Team Rocket once sent an elite team to sneak into the Orange Alliance to investigate, but ultimately found nothing.
Yang Ming glanced at the information briefly and finally left the office.
Now that I have just recovered from a serious injury, it is time for me to go out for a walk.
After more than a month of reconstruction, Manjin City has regained its former bustle and grandeur. Except for the Rockets flags hanging everywhere, other aspects are no different from the Manjin City he remembers.
Some members of Team Rocket were patrolling the city, replacing the previous police and Junsha. Apart from a little discomfort in their eyes, passers-by had no other reactions and continued to live their lives as usual.
"It seems that the Rockets' rule is not much different from the league's." Yang Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that the Rockets, who were living on the edge of a knife, had no experience in managing a city, but now it seems that he was worrying too much.
For ordinary people who have suffered from the ravages of war, as long as they are given peace and a little freedom, it doesn't really matter to them who rules them.
Yang Ming wore casual clothes, dressed like an ordinary person, found a bench on the side of the road and sat down, wanting to try his Changpan power again.
In the last battle, Yang Ming was seriously injured due to excessive use of the power of Tokiwa, and even he thought he would lose the power of Tokiwa.
But when he woke up, he found that his Tokiwa power had not completely disappeared, but was very weak and almost ineffective.
This gave Yang Ming hope again. No matter how weak it was, at least he had not lost this ability, and he would definitely be able to slowly recover it in the future.
"Can I sit next to you, please?"
A female voice sounded from beside him. The voice was soft and calm, exuding a lazy temperament that was unforgettable after hearing it.
