Chapter 282 Exhibition: A Storm is Brewing?
Night falls.
The cool moonlight bathed the streets and alleys of Shenhe Town.
Although it's not a big city, the town of Shining has developed quite well in recent years, with many high-rise buildings. At least near the Pokémon Center in the city center, there are still many tall buildings, and the streets are decorated with neon lights in addition to moonlight.
In the lobby of the Pokémon Center, the television was broadcasting today's news—
"Team Galactic attempted to steal the Diamond Orb from the Alliance transport ship in the forest east of Veil City, but was defeated by the escort team led by Elite Four member Gossou."
"Has Team Galaxy made another move?"
"Luckily, the Four Heavenly Kings were there to protect the Vajra Pearl, otherwise it would have been terrible if it had been stolen."
As Xiaozhi and his friends were having dinner in the hall, Xiaoguang and Xiaogang saw the news on TV and couldn't help but express their feelings.
The white jade bead has just been unearthed, and the vajra bead almost had an accident. It would be a lie to say that people are not worried.
If the Diamond Jewel were to be stolen at such a crucial moment, the Sinnoh League would lose face big time.
"Things are really getting out of hand."
"Anyway, this isn't the first time I've encountered something like this. I've run into this kind of trouble many times in the Hoenn region before."
"Pikachu~"
Xiao Gang and Pikachu's back-and-forth banter left Xiao Zhi, who had just spoken, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
In this context, Xiaogang and Pikachu seem to be implying that everything is inextricably linked to him.
The problem is, he's a victim too! It's just that they're unlucky and always get caught up in these outrageous incidents!
"It shouldn't involve us, right..."
As Xiao Guang spoke, he turned his gaze to Xiao Zhi, as if seeking Xiao Zhi's opinion.
Ash: "......"
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, the actions of those around him made Ash feel deeply hurt.
Most importantly, they were already involved in the events involving Team Galactic and Hunter J, and this time they had no choice but to get involved.
Faced with this undeniable situation, Ash could only manage a stiff smile and stammer, "Anyway... let's get started with the Contest training as soon as possible!"
"Okay!"
Sure enough, as soon as Ash changes the subject to the Contests, Dawn completely forgets about the current topic.
Watching the two leave for the backyard of the Pokémon Center, Brock stood there, arms crossed, his slit-like eyes staring straight at the night sky.
She murmured softly, "How wonderful...the world of young people...when will I finally win the favor of this older sister and usher in the spring of my life...?"
"Gurgle~ Gurgle~ Tch—"
While Xiao Gang was lamenting his youth, the delinquent frog, who had appeared out of nowhere, raised an eyebrow and gave a disdainful snort.
......
Time passed slowly in God and in the town.
The day after arriving in Shenhe Town, the Vajra Pearl was safely delivered to the Shenhe Museum and placed in the center of the museum along with the White Jade Pearl.
Preparations for the opening of the museum are proceeding smoothly.
The people of Shenhe Town, as well as those who came from all over, were unaware of the turmoil hidden beneath the two precious pearls. All those who came here simply wanted to witness the splendor of the pearls.
This time, all security for the Gods and the Museum was handled by Cynthia herself, marking what can be considered the first official clash between the League and the Galactic Team.
Representing the strongest force in the Sinnoh League, Cynthia absolutely cannot lose.
.......
The museum opened as scheduled, and it was the third day.
The area outside the museum was completely packed with people, making it impossible to move.
Even though the security personnel for the temple and museum had been borrowed from police stations in several surrounding cities, the number of security personnel was still far too small compared to the number of visitors.
Besides Cynthia and the museum's curator, who is also Cynthia's grandmother, there were some specially invited guests present.
Of course, that includes.
"Ash, you're here."
Cynthia, who was talking with the guests, went straight up to Ash and his friends upon seeing them and welcomed them.
"I didn't expect to receive an invitation... What a surprise..."
Ash walked in front, and Dawn, who was following behind Ash, saw this scene and couldn't help but whisper to Brock.
What surprised Xiao Guang was that Xiao Gang didn't repeat his old habit when he saw Cynthia today; he just looked a little serious.
"The atmosphere here feels so heavy, like a war is about to break out."
Xiao Gang took a deep breath and then expressed his opinion in an equally soft voice.
Not only was the air around them filled with this atmosphere, but Cynthia felt the same way. Although she was happy to see them arrive, there was a different kind of emotion accompanying her happiness.
Xiao Gang couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he felt that something was off about the atmosphere here.
"Don't scare people... No matter what, there shouldn't be any problems here, right? With so many security personnel and Miss Cynthia here, even if the Galactic Team members are incredibly brave, they wouldn't dare to barge in, would they?"
Xiao Guang was simply expressing his opinion based on common sense.
Admittedly, Xiao Guang's idea was not wrong. Even if Team Galactic wanted to steal the Diamond Jewel and the White Jewel, they didn't need to fight their way in under these circumstances.
Whether the Vajra Jewel and the White Jade Jewel remain here or are sent to other museums, the chances of them being obtained later are definitely much greater than if they stayed here.
There's absolutely no need to risk total annihilation by taking action here.
Xiao Guang's idea is the most normal and in line with the normal situation.
But unfortunately, those villainous organizations don't think that way.
Whether it's Team Rocket, or Team Magma and Team Aqua from the Hoenn region.
They are all complete lunatics. As long as they can achieve their goal, they will attack regardless of the cost, even if it's not just Cynthia, but all the trainers in the Sinnoh League who come here to guard the area.
"I hope today's exhibition will proceed smoothly."
Xiao Gang sighed helplessly.
Although, based on his experience traveling with Ash, he now vaguely sensed that his hope was really just hope.
