Chapter 435: Aftermath of the Divine Battle
Although the divine battle had ended, the aftershocks were still sweeping through, and the impact was fermenting.
Moreover, the newly promoted Pokémon Master of the Japanese Alliance, the heir to the Koga Clan, Koga Hayato, had fallen in Saudi Arabia. This caused an uproar worldwide.
Ordinary people naturally couldn't get the inside story and first-hand information, but Basalt was different. As soon as the matter ended, Abdullah sought him out.
As an important prince of the Saudi Alliance, Abdullah had a very high status, so he learned the inside story along with the Saudi King.
A Nightmare God on the same level as Regigigas? Tyranitar? And five signature Pokémon of the major alliances at the peak of Master-level?
Abdullah wasn't stupid; how could he not smell something fishy?
Plus, Basalt was originally supposed to accompany Koga Hayato to the Mecca Holy Land, but in the end... fell ill with diarrhea?
Abdullah felt something was wrong back then. Looking back now, it was simply a glaring sign. If anyone said Basalt had nothing to do with this, Abdullah wouldn't believe it even if beaten to death.
"Boss, you have to believe me, I really have nothing to do with this matter." Basalt denied repeatedly.
"Phew... if you say so!" Abdullah sighed.
Actually, he understood in his heart: even if Basalt admitted it, so what? Did he dare to make this matter public?
Abdullah didn't dare!
In terms of identity, status, and strength, Abdullah was far inferior to Koga Hayato. If the five major alliances dared to kill Koga Hayato, would they be wary of a petty prince like him? Darkrai wouldn't even need to act; any random Master could handle him.
Conversely, Basalt's heart was pounding with excitement.
Wearing a blue suit, face obscured—this was undoubtedly Mr. Blue Suit. That Tyranitar was presumably Pupitar's father.
What truly shocked Basalt was that he didn't expect Mr. Blue Suit to possess a Pokémon like the Nightmare God Darkrai. This was a Legendary Pokémon!
"Could Mr. Blue Suit's name be Tobias (Takuto)?" Basalt complained inwardly.
In the Pokémon anime, the trainer who possessed Darkrai was named Tobias, nicknamed "Action Replay Man" by fans! Besides Darkrai, he also possessed Latios. This was an existence second only to Pyramid King Brandon, who possessed the three Regis.
Thinking of this, Basalt sighed secretly. Darkrai VS Registeel—this was simply a repeat of Brandon VS Tobias! Unfortunately, he didn't witness the battle scene personally. But according to Abdullah's description, the battle was obviously spectacular.
"Forget it, rest well here! I have to go back and discuss how to handle this matter."
Abdullah patted his face and left the hotel.
With Koga Hayato's fall, the relationship between the Saudi Alliance and the Japanese Alliance would definitely be greatly affected, perhaps even dropping to freezing point. In this way, his competitor Abdul was also eliminated early. This was good news. But how to handle the follow-up would be enough for the Saudi high-level officials to suffer.
On an island in the Arabian Sea.
Mr. Blue Suit and Malamar landed quietly; Darkrai had vanished.
Standing on the island were two white men and one yellow man.
Seeing Mr. Blue Suit appear, a white gentleman said angrily, "You clearly could have killed Koga Hayato quietly. Why did you have to cause such a big commotion and fight Registeel?"
Taking a Pokéball from his waist and tossing it to the white man, Mr. Blue Suit shrugged noncommittally, "As the heir of the Koga Clan, Koga Hayato's strength wasn't as simple as you imagined. Moreover, Registeel, the guardian of the Mecca Holy Land, arrived too quickly; I had no choice."
"Sophistry!"
The white man snorted coldly, "You could have acted anywhere from Riyadh to Mecca, but you insisted on acting outside Mecca. I think you did it on purpose."
"This is subjective speculation, slander!"
Mr. Blue Suit smiled, but the shadow behind him swayed like waves. Seeing this, the white gentleman narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Alright, what's done is done; no need to pursue faults anymore."
Just then, the yellow man spoke up, "Anyway, as long as our five major alliances don't speak up, the Saudi Alliance should know what to do. When the time comes, we just need to back them up and withstand the anger of the Japanese Alliance."
This was a joint operation of the five major alliances; even Arceus coming might not change things.
Hearing this, Mr. Blue Suit tossed two Pokéballs to the yellow man and smiled slightly.
The yellow man bowed in return and sneered, "The Japanese Alliance has become increasingly restless over the years; they should have been beaten long ago. Especially this Koga Hayato, actually targeting the West Lake Milotic, clearly wanting to improve maritime strength and attempt to break the shackles. I think this is not something you want to see either!"
The white gentleman didn't respond, but his expression was somewhat dim. The British Alliance had declined; the oceans now belonged to the US Alliance. Once, they were known as the Empire on which the sun never sets. But now, they could only enjoy the glory brought by their ancestors, the sun setting in the west.
"This makes sense!"
Just then, another white man, built like an iron tower, spoke up: "The Japanese Alliance has wild ambitions, respectful on the surface but secretly dormant, seeking an opportunity to turn the tables. In my opinion, it's best to destroy them directly. My Bear Alliance only wants the territory; the population and other interests can be divided among your four families."
The scene fell into a brief silence.
For the white gentleman, they were willing to eliminate a potential strong enemy, but the Japanese Alliance was the watchdog of the US Alliance; the US Alliance would definitely not agree to this.
For China, the US and Japan were naturally great enemies, but the threat of the Bear Alliance could not be underestimated either. This guy had an almost morbid obsession with territory. Although cooperation between the two countries currently outweighed competition, careful vigilance was also necessary.
"It seems everyone is not interested in this proposal."
Mr. Blue Suit chuckled and tossed the last Pokéball to the burly white man.
Finally, the four parted on bad terms.
On the night of Koga Hayato's fall, Director Mori called. Learning Basalt was safe and sound, he was relieved. Because Director Mori really didn't expect a major international event to happen in a small place like the Saudi Alliance. And Koga Hayato died!
On the third day after Koga Hayato's fall, the head of the Japanese Alliance Elite Four, the Dark-type Elite Four member Koga Uren, arrived at the Saudi Alliance and took away his son's body.
Although the aged Koga Uren was hunched, no joy or sorrow could ever be seen on his face, as if the deceased wasn't his own son but an irrelevant passerby.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese Alliance didn't make any trouble over this matter, and the five major alliances were surprisingly calm.
In this matter, Mr. Blue Suit was defined as a king and ambitious schemer of the dark world, collecting Legendary Pokémon with the aim of ruling the world, someone everyone should execute.
On the thirteenth day after Koga Hayato's fall, a slightly haggard and travel-worn Abdullah arrived, saying, "Basalt, get ready. Tomorrow I'll take you to the Mecca Holy Land."
"Finally going to the Mecca Holy Land!"
Basalt was overjoyed. These days, he had stayed in the hotel without going out; he was almost getting moldy.
