Sometimes, a great assistant can really handle a lot of things.
After all, when there's work, the assistant handles it; when there isn't.....
Ahem.
With this, Natsuhiko has fewer things to worry about and can focus more on training Pokémon.
Natsuhiko thinks he might also need to hire a great assistant in the future.
But.
He has too many secrets; if it's not someone he can completely trust, Natsuhiko might rather worry a bit more himself.
However, now that the dojo construction is imminent, clearly Chrysa's appearance has really helped him a lot.
Natsuhiko sincerely said, "Help me thank your teacher, and thank you very much for your help, Miss Kikuna."
Chrysa smiled and shook her head, saying softly, "I also hope Mr. Natsuhiko can have more time to write Pokémon theses; this kind of petty matter shouldn't be a hindrance to you."
Natsuhiko was embarrassed.
He tossed out a few Pokeballs.
Summoning Beedrill, Alakazam, Togekiss, Doublade, and Chimchar.
Preparing to place all the equipment here first.
But then a problem troubled Natsuhiko.
Initially.
If he were alone, he could stay at the Poke Center or even travel back and forth to Shenhe Town, and it wouldn't take up much time.
But now with Chrysa's arrival.
And with so many valuable pieces of equipment, it seems a bit inappropriate to just stay anywhere casually.
As the Dojo Leader of Suiyi Town, not having his own property there and even having to crash at someone else's for accommodation is truly a bit humiliating.
Fortunately, Chrysa is quite capable, quickly helping Natsuhiko rent a small residence, with a large garden for Pokémon training and equipment storage.
That's typical of Suiyi Town, where there's lots of land but few people.
Chrysa showcased her capability.
And on the same day.
The two teams of construction workers from Flint's family, who had given Natsuhiko prior notice, also arrived in Suiyi Town one after another.
Actually, after the tournament ended, when Flint learned of Natsuhiko's plan to build a dojo in Suiyi Town, they set out for Suiyi Town.
But some equipment was quite cumbersome, and the road to Suiyi Town wasn't easy to navigate, thus causing a few days of delay.
Natsuhiko watched those trucks drive into Suiyi Town, along with the burly construction crew, gaining a new understanding of the term "team."
Dozens of trucks, various weightlifting gear, hundreds of robust men working in unison, and the Machoke, Machamp, Gurdurr, Old Mending Man even tougher than the robust men....
This is perhaps the true ability of top enterprises in the Pokémon Realm.
Chrysa, representing Natsuhiko, went to talk with the leader of the construction team.
Conveying Natsuhiko's basic ideas for the dojo construction to them, ensuring a better and faster completion of the dojo.
As for the location and funding needed for the dojo, the league had already taken care of those.
It's just that the league's allocated construction team is a bit slow.
However, with Devon Company's impressive setup, the construction of a dojo should take less time than Natsuhiko anticipated.
Natsuhiko turned to look at Flint, standing beside him with a standard "routine operation" look.
"You didn't go back to Hoenn?"
Natsuhiko was truly surprised that Flint had arrived with the construction team.
Flint adjusted his wrist slightly, organizing a bit, "I have two matters I'd like to discuss with you."
"With me? Discuss?"
"Should we talk here?" Flint looked around.
The construction team was quite professional; having grasped Natsuhiko's intentions initially, they were ready to start construction.
The first step was to lay a solid foundation for the dojo.
"Follow me."
Saying this, Natsuhiko led Flint to the villa Chrysa just rented.
A fireplace burning wood, a drooping crystal chandelier, deep brown matching chairs, a wall full of bookshelves and books, and laid plush carpet.
This was Natsuhiko's temporary study.
Some structures in the Sinnoh Region still retain an ancient style, which many Sinnoh People prefer.
The villa Chrysa rented was just built in that style by its former owner.
This highlights the profound heritage of Sinnoh.
Natsuhiko really liked it.
No other reason, just showing off that cultural vibe.
The two sat on opposite sides of the desk.
Chrysa thoughtfully served tea, silently closed the door, and left.
"Just now, that was... Miss Kikuna? Mr. Sakuragi's assistant?" Flint asked the question he had wanted to ask upon seeing Kikuna leave silently.
"Yes, Mr. Sakuragi knew I was going to build a dojo and would face a bunch of trouble, so Miss Kikuna is helping me for a while." Natsuhiko said with a smile.
"Mr. Sakuragi and you are really close, Natsuhiko." Flint sighed.
If the relationship wasn't good, how could he send his assistant to help someone else?
This confirmed that Flint coming here was the right decision.
"Yeah." Natsuhiko nodded in agreement.
Kikuna's arrival really saved him a lot of troublesome petty work.
"By the way, what did you want to discuss with me? Even needing to 'talk,' all secretively."
Back to the main topic.
Flint pondered slightly, choosing his words, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Because I'm not just representing myself for this matter."
