Chapter 198 Schemes, Where Does Fate Stand?
Ten minutes after Team Galactic left, the police from Veilwall City finally arrived. After the fire department extinguished the fire, Ash and Lee went inside with Officer Jenny to give their statements.
Later, after Officer Jenny learned that Team Galactic's target was the meteorite from Veilfall City, she had it examined. Ash, who initially thought there would be no problem, learned the following from the inspection team after their investigation—
"There is a significant defect at the bottom of the meteorite. Team Galactic must have taken advantage of the chaos on the front to approach the bottom of the meteorite through a tunnel they dug a few days ago, and then chiseled away part of the meteorite."
Walking along the tunnel towards the outskirts of Veiled City, the tunnel was very long, and even with professional machinery, it would not have been completed in a day or two.
The tunnel eventually led to a location near where Ash and his friends had met Raiji.
So it seems that when Rai said he saw Team Galactic but couldn't find them, the Team Galactic members that Rai saw must have been hiding in the tunnel.
The theft of part of the meteorite means that Ash's efforts tonight were basically in vain, and Team Galactic's plan has succeeded.
Tonight's defeat made Ash understand completely—
The Galaxy's tactics have changed; they are different now. If we try to apply the same old methods to them, we'll likely suffer a crushing defeat.
Ash should have known this fact from the very beginning.
The moment he woke up on the plane and realized that the mode of transportation he was taking to Sinnoh was different from what he remembered, it already explained everything.
He did indeed return to the past, but this past was not entirely the same as the past in his memory.
If the Galaxy Team's current change in behavior is a butterfly effect caused by their own intervention, then how do you explain that they initially traveled by plane instead of ship?
Everything was so elusive, everything was still hidden in the fog. He was like a butterfly fluttering aimlessly in a foggy day, unable to see the whole picture.
And even if Team Galactic's operational plan is in place, but... is deploying so many personnel and helicopters really just what Officer Jenny said—
"It's probably just to cover for them stealing meteorites down there. After all, chiseling open meteorites would make a lot of noise. It would be easy to spot someone in the park in the morning, and the digging sound would be quite conspicuous at night. But that sound is nothing compared to the sounds of battle and propellers."
Logically speaking, Ms. Officer Jenny's statement is naturally the most reasonable and should be the most correct.
But the sense of unease in Xiaozhi's heart was still too strong. If his premonition was correct, then where did this premonition lead?
As Xiao Zhi gazed at the deep night sky, he couldn't help but think this.
......
"Boss Red Sun, these are all the results of this operation."
At the Galaxy Team base, upon hearing the report from Saturn behind him, Akari turned his gaze away from the night sky.
After receiving Zhenxing's report, Chiri expressionlessly repeated the records on the report.
"Target meteorite recovered, 13 crew members lost, one helicopter, 21 Crobats and Zubats combined, 12 Skunks..."
After reading the report, Chi Ri nodded simply.
"Everything is within expectations, well done... Have you received the things I specifically asked for?"
"Yes."
Zhenxing bent down and respectfully placed a memory card on the desk in front of Chiri. Upon seeing this, Chiri immediately asked:
"What are your feelings after this actual encounter?"
"..."
After thinking for a moment, Zhenxing realized that he had lost quite badly in their direct confrontation. Although it was somewhat embarrassing, it did affect their future actions. So, Zhenxing truthfully revealed his true thoughts.
"That trainer named Ash is incredible... Even if all of us executives combined, we wouldn't be a match for him. The details are all in the recording."
"Okay, you can go now."
After waving for Zhenxing to leave, Chiri used the relevant equipment to open the video on the memory card, preparing to sit down and slowly enjoy Xiaozhi's battle.
If that trainer named Ash appears during tonight's operation, battle him and record the entire battle.
This was something that Chi Ri specifically emphasized when planning this operation.
Ever since Ash's name appeared in his field of vision several times, Akira has paid special attention to this trainer.
However, this request is somewhat dependent on luck, since even if Red Sun knows that Ash is currently in Veil City, he cannot be sure that Ash will actually arrive at the scene of their operation in the middle of the night.
Testing Ash's strength is important, but if the operation goes wrong because of this test, it would be a case of losing more than you gain.
......
Ash's file was displayed on his desk, detailing all of Ash's achievements from his debut to the present.
Kanto League Top 16, Orange Islands Champion, Johto League Top 8, Hoenn League Top 8, Battle Frontier Dominator.
For someone like Red Sun, who has seen many geniuses, Ash's resume, while not outstanding, is still remarkable. However, there are quite a few trainers who can achieve this, and the best achievement among them is simply dominating the Battle Frontier.
And the leader of the frontier, Kamishiro...
If Ash had gone all out and still won, then his evaluation would be higher; but if not... then we can only say that Red Sun's opinion is not wrong.
Excellent, but not outstanding.
This was the assessment that Red Sun gave after reading Ash's information.
However, as the video continued to play, Chi Ri's brows furrowed even more deeply.
This trainer is very abnormal.
Chi Ri thought to himself.
In the previously released recordings of the Hoenn League tournament, Ash's performance was completely different from his current one. Red Sun can ignore Ash in the Hoenn League tournament, but they cannot ignore Ash's performance tonight when he battled them.
As it turns out, his earlier concerns were not unfounded; this trainer, who was suspected of being recruited by Cynthia, was likely to become a stumbling block to their plans.
"Fate seems to be on my side."
To be able to catch up with their actions at such a special time and to expose his strength completely—if this wasn't fate's favor, Chi Ri himself didn't know how to explain it.
Chi Ri smiled, turned off the screen, then went to the window and continued to look down at the empty street, a few flashes of infatuation and fascination in his eyes.
"How wonderful it would be if there were no humans in the world..."
Chi Ri took a deep breath and then sat down again.
The Elite Four, the Champion, Interpol, and now we'll add Ash Ketchum to the mix.
To deal with these troubles, Chi Ri needs to start from scratch and devise a more targeted strategy to ensure that they are never allowed to appear together.
The night is still long.
