I, the first trainer of the new world

Chapter 1463 Hmm, let's find a chance to return those three birds to Naza.

Qianlin took out his phone, squealing like a pig, and sent a message to Manager Che, explaining that the Rockets were going to move into Yanxia.

A moment later, he stopped squealing and flipped his phone over to the camera: "Boss Sakaki, Manager Che asked me what the Rockets' advantages are compared to Devon?"

Sakaki took a deep breath, his expression returning to calm: "Ask Makoto."

Qianlin pouted: "You're supposed to be the boss, after all."

Sakaki: "..."

Just because I'm the boss, I don't have to deal with these things!

Sakaki sighed.

This was the first time he had ever met someone like Qianlin. Logically speaking, he was at the pinnacle of a world, and even if he wanted to rule the world, he wouldn't need to exert too much effort, just like Team Rainbow Rocket.

However, he also knew about the so-called justice, love, and trust of the positive characters, so he could understand that Qianlin did not rule the world, but existed as a safety net.

But normally, doesn't this mean that Qianlin has enough power?

Sakaki watched Chibayashi Asahi's questioning manner in the video, and neither his words nor his demeanor showed the slightest bit of arrogance befitting a top-tier player.

Because he is the ultimate safety net, his existence is the greatest guarantee that Yanxia will not be occupied by villainous organizations or invaded by other forces. Under such circumstances, even if Qianlin upholds love and justice, those who rely on the ultimate safety net will not ignore his words.

As a safety net, he can control whatever the Yanxia League wants to do, and the cooperation with the Rockets is something he can decide with a single word.

Normally, even if Chihaya only makes a suggestion without any particular inclination, the people below will still move in the direction Chihaya suggests.

This is what they call... "One mouth from above, legs running themselves ragged below."

But Qianlin was different. Rather than the Yanxia Alliance disliking him, it was more that he knew those things were beyond his control, and he never intended to get involved. In order not to disturb the Alliance, he put on that aggrieved and miserable act and went off to play by himself.

Yes, it was Qianlin who decided not to interfere, and Yanxia knew that Qianlin wouldn't interfere.

Just as the Yanxia Alliance trusts all of Qianlin's decisions as its leader, Qianlin also trusts all of the Yanxia Alliance's principles as its solid backing.

This kind of model... doesn't exist in the Pokémon world.

So is this model better than the joint power-sharing of the Pokémon world's champion and league chairman?

No, without sufficient trust, this model of non-interference yet complete handover is a deeply buried bomb. Whether it's a dud or a hydrogen bomb depends on everyone in that region.

Sakaki was watching the video, while Chibayashi was still discussing something with Masato.

His gaze swept over Qian Lin, passed through the camera, and landed on the other members of the Yanxia Alliance who were only partially visible in the background.

The radiant Zheng Yaqian, the bewildered Yi Ke, the pitiful Liu Ruyan...

Giovanni closed his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips: "You always say that people in the Pokémon world are too innocent, to the point of being as innocent as fools... But aren't you people from the Summer League just as innocent?"

Qianlin was taken aback and subconsciously looked at the screen.

Sakaki opened his eyes, his slightly turbulent gaze meeting his: "A world republic, a world of great harmony... only such a society can cultivate champions and alliances of your kind."

"How did we get to this?" Qianlin was a little confused. "If you want to discuss this with me, that's fine, but I'm afraid that if we keep talking, some mythical beast will jump out and slap us both, and the main problem is that we won't be able to fight back."

"Besides, we're still developing, so don't mess around," Chibayashi said righteously, pointing at Sakaki.

Don't ask, the answer is simply that it's under development.

Sakaki was speechless for a moment.

Consider the weapons that instantly killed twelve elite members of Team Rainbow Rocket in the first battle, weapons that can penetrate super-powerful shields, the ability to develop new weapons and deploy them on the battlefield in just three hours, and the guaranteed ability to crush legendary Pokémon head-on.

The summer has already developed the capability for space combat... oh right, it's under development.

The world is developing in a way that no one can understand. As long as you can still understand it, it is still developing.

There's no point in continuing this discussion, so Giovanni changed the subject: "How did your discussion with Masato go?"

Qianlin put away his phone and edited the message again: "Zhenniao said that Team Rocket is ahead of Devon Corporation in some cutting-edge technologies, but Devon Corporation surpasses Team Rocket in technologies in civilian, energy, materials, and communications."

To put it simply, the Rockets take a people-oriented approach, focusing on large quantities and selling everything they make.

Devon Corporation, on the other hand, has a product line that includes some civilian products, such as high-end custom outdoor suits and advanced navigators, which are things that ordinary people don't need to buy at all. At the same time, it also has products that everyone can use, such as Poké Balls, energy sources, and space backpacks.

Some might argue that in this situation, wouldn't the Rockets sell the ball for a better price?

That's right. To put it another way, the Rockets are like a convenience store, with one at the entrance of every neighborhood, while Devon Corporation is like a large supermarket, with one in each city.

got it?

Then someone might say, "Doesn't the Rockets have cutting-edge technology? Use that to negotiate with the Summer League!"

That's not wrong, but the Rockets' leading cutting-edge technology... is gene technology.

Even if Qianlin agrees, the Yanxia League would never allow Team Rocket to move there. There are still most of the Earth's map that haven't been recognized by Zygarde's order. If they really create something similar to Mewtwo, the Grand Prix team will be cursing again.

Let's not do that. Yanxia doesn't have the habit of having a father.

Moreover, the summer is now filled with the entire Pokémon game series storyline, so they feel it's best to stay away from this kind of purely suicidal stuff.

"So the Rockets have absolutely no advantage." Chibayashi sighed, shaking his head at Sakaki as he sent the message.

The real bird next to him also looked somewhat helpless.

Sakaki stroked the cat's head, a hint of speechlessness in his eyes: "Don't our sales channels have absolutely no conflict with Devon Corporation's?"

That's ridiculous. How could a small shop and a large shopping mall steal each other's customers?

Both sides were stunned when they heard who their opponent was.

These two things should obviously coexist. Who has ever seen someone walk into a large supermarket just to buy a bottle of mineral water? You can just turn the corner and find any small shop.

"Hehe~ I didn't fool you." Qianlin stuck out her tongue cutely.

Sakaki: "..."

Sakaki was so angry that he almost lost his godfather-like authority.

He took a deep breath, calming his urge to beat up Qianlin: "One last thing, about your game."

Qianlin stopped acting cute.

“There’s someone in Team Rocket who’s not very willing to authorize anything. She’s planning to come find you herself… maybe she wants to kill you, whatever.” Giovanni’s expression returned to calm. “And, I hope that in the game, my character won’t be the kind of… ordinary NPC that anyone can romance.”

Qianlin raised an eyebrow, not paying any attention to the person who wanted to kill him, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about that. Whether it's Speedrun or the Sword God of Shili Slope, they'll behave themselves when they meet you, Sakaki of the Earth."

"Hmph..." Sakaki nodded in satisfaction.

"By the way," Qianlin smiled slyly, "would you mind debuting and singing a song? Just one line of lyrics."

Sakaki: "..."

Hmm... I'll send a message to Natsume later and ask her to return those three birds to her.
