Chapter 537 World Situation
"How was it? How did it feel to ride a unicorn for the first time?" While riding the unicorn, Salina's mother turned around and chatted with Yang Ming.
"Not bad. I thought that the unicorn with its angular body was not suitable for human riding, but I didn't expect it to be surprisingly stable. Madam, your riding skills are really superb." Yang Ming flattered.
"I can't help it. I was also a famous Rhino Knight when I was young, but I retired after I got married to take care of my children," Serena's mother said with a wry smile. "I originally wanted Serena to inherit this profession, but the child has no interest in it at all. She even wants to be a Pokémon performer. She is such a worrying child."
"There's nothing we can do. I believe that Serena will understand your efforts in the future." Yang Ming comforted.
The two chatted as they traveled and finally arrived at Mingshui Town. Compared to Chaoxiang Town, Mingshui Town was larger and you could see people coming and going as well as apartment buildings.
"Let's separate in the town center and then gather here after we've finished our business," suggested Serena's mother.
Yang Ming had no objection to this. He preferred to act alone, which made it easier to collect intelligence.
Along the way he heard a lot of rumors that seemed to be related to the Hoenn region.
"Have you heard? A group of guys calling themselves the Fire Rock Team attacked Shuijing City in the Hoenn region. They occupied the largest gorgeous competition venue in Shuijing City and kidnapped the genius coordinator who was performing at the time."
"Oh my God, that girl seemed to be only 14 years old. She suffered such a misfortune at such a young age. I feel bad for her."
"What happened next? Did the Alliance rescue her?"
"I don't know. I also heard the news from other people."
Yang Ming's heart trembled. When he arrived in the Hoenn Sea, he encountered a tsunami of unknown cause caused by Kyogre. Now Team Magma is taking action again, which shows that Hoenn is now in turmoil.
"I didn't expect that not long after the Johto Rebellion was quelled, something bad would happen again in the Hoenn region. This world is really not peaceful." Yang Ming complained in his heart.
It was not difficult to find a shop that repaired electronic devices. The boss said that it would take until tomorrow to repair the damaged mobile phone. Yang Ming did not object, paid the deposit and left.
"By the way, can you show me the newspapers from the past few days?"
Seeing that the guest was so straightforward, the other party naturally agreed to the request without hesitation.
Yang Ming walked back while flipping through the newspaper. The newspaper did report the terrorist attack that occurred in Shuijing City a few days ago, and it was more detailed. The kidnapped girl was the niece of the Liuli Gym Master Mikuli, the genius coordinator Lukia. The motives of the Magma Team were unknown. After kidnapping Lukia, they did not take any further action, but just controlled the entire venue, as if waiting for something.
What happened next was shocking. Before the Hoenn Alliance could take any action, a group of trainers dressed in pirate costumes stormed the venue. They claimed to be members of the extremist organization "Water Fleet" and started fighting with Team Magma.
After repelling the Magma Team, these people who called themselves the Water Fleet released Lukia and stated that the Water Fleet was not an evil organization, but that their purpose was to stop the atrocities of the Magma Team.
After this incident, Adam, the former gym leader of the Liuli Gym, expressed his gratitude to the Water Fleet and said that he was willing to believe that the original intention of the Water Fleet was for the future of the Hoenn region. The Hoenn Alliance headed by Daigo declined to comment on this incident.
Later, a man who claimed to be the leader of the Fire Rock Team, Chi Yansong, spoke on the radio, claiming that the kidnapping incident in Shuijing City was a farce directed and performed by the Water Fleet, and condemned the Water Fleet for throwing dirty water on the Fire Rock Team. The Fire Rock Team's goal has always been to give people in the Hoenn region a better future, and the Water Fleet is the culprit for disrupting Hoenn. Currently, the entire Hoenn is arguing over this incident, and supporters of the two major organizations are even fighting each other in the streets...
"It looks like Hoenn is going to be in complete chaos." Yang Ming sighed. He didn't know who the culprit of this incident was, but it was obvious that the power conflicts in the Hoenn region were escalating. There was even an incident where the Hoenn Alliance and the former gym leader had a disagreement on their words. This was obviously not a good sign.
Yang Ming looked through the news related to other regions. What made him happy was that no major events happened in Johto, Kanto and Unova. For Yang Ming, no news from these regions was the best news, especially the Unova region. Only when Team Plasma did not show up again would he feel at ease to let Feng Lu return there.
Galar continued to flourish, and the president of the Marrokomon Group placed a large number of advertisements in newspapers in various regions to encourage trainers from other regions to join the Galar Alliance.
"The Hoenn region is caught up in a dispute between Team Aqua and Team Magma. Although Kanto and Johto are at peace on the surface, there is no guarantee that Team Rocket will declare war on the Alliance one day, and Team Plasma is lying dormant in Unova. In comparison, the Galar region is the one that is developing quietly. Who knows, it might be that old guy Ross who will win the 'Chicken Eating Contest' in the end." Yang Ming thought.
In addition to the above-mentioned regions, a major event also occurred in the Alola region: First, the current president of the Hono Group, the richest man in Alola, was seriously ill, and his only daughter Kahiri temporarily took over the Hono Group. Kahiri cleaned up the company on the first day. With her strength close to the king level, there is no voice against her in the entire Hono Group.
"No wonder that middle-aged man wanted to kill his niece halfway. It turned out that he wanted to fight for the inheritance of the company," Yang Ming suddenly realized. "It seems that I am really unlucky to be involved in such an unexpected disaster."
When Yang Ming returned to the agreed location, Salina's mother had been waiting for a long time.
"You're so slow. As a gentleman you can't keep a girl waiting for you."
"It's okay. I'm not a gentleman anyway."
Just then, Yang Ming noticed that Salina's mother was holding a pink envelope in her hand.
"This is a letter from Dr. Bratano. I am so charming." Salina's mother took the letter and shook it in front of Yang Ming.
Yang Ming was shocked. Dr. Blatano is also known as the "Dr. Public Lover". He is tall and has outstanding temperament. In addition to being an expert in mega evolution, he is also a friend of women in the Kalos region.
"He actually sent a love letter to a married woman. What a free Carlos." Yang Ming sighed in his heart.
"I was just kidding you," Serena's mother seemed to have guessed what Yang Ming was thinking, and explained, "Actually, this is a letter to Serena, asking her to go to Miare City to get her initial Pokémon."
"To be honest, I'm a little worried about letting Serena go alone. I wonder if you can escort her there for me and be a knight protecting the princess?"
