...
Well, there are eight Eevees, and each one corresponds to an evolutionary type.
Wait for the Gym to open by then, and if he pushed it through the door, there would be more cards to deal with, wouldn't it?
Those who just want to see the full evolution of Eevee can probably be sorted from Solaceon Town to Celestic Town.
However, Fairy-Type energy was still extremely scarce, so Sylveon shouldn't be able to get out in a short amount of time, but this didn't prevent him from preparing ahead of time.
Lay down the box and take out all the palm-sized Eevee.
They're all newly hatched Pokemon, so like Latios, they can't be put in Poke Balls.
It's probably just hatched, and Alliance can't wait to get Natsu to publish another paper on the evolution of the Eevee, so they're dispatched before they're fully stretched.
Gloomy and dull, more subtle and cute.
As soon as the eight Eevees came out, some were a little freaked out by the new surroundings, some were huddled together, and some didn't know what was wrong.
However.
Natsu found.
Among the eight Eevee, there was one brave, looking at him curiously with big round eyes.
Perhaps thinking that Natsu might be harmless to them, or realizing that Natsu might be their next "meal ticket", she took shaky steps and faltered.
Her short legs were still slightly out of alignment, and staggered onto Natsu's legs.
"Buy~~"
A low, waxy growl gently rubbed her head against Natsu's pants.
"Mr. Natsu, looks like this Eevee really likes you." Kikuya said with a smile covering her mouth.
Naturally, if Pokemon have different personalities from each other, this Eevee is definitely more lively and bold.
Natsu crouched down and stroked her fur gently.
"Bu~yii~~"
Little Eevee narrowed her eyes, groaned comfortably, turned around while lying on the ground, her belly exposed in front of Natsu's eyes.
The other Eevee saw her comfortable appearance, and the other three immediately came to Natsu's side carefully, looking on with some curiosity.
Natsu naturally treated them as equals and sent them comfortable massages.
Having experience massaging Shirona Eevee, he knows exactly where a Pokémon like Eevee gives them the most comfort.
Not long.
These eight Eevee were completely conquered by Natsu.
One by one, they followed him with their heads held high, following every step of the way.
"Buy buy" Eevee shouted at the same time.
Those who don't know also think that Natsu has eight kittens.
However, there is one thing to say, surrounded by eight cute Eevees, Natsu's mentality is also much younger, and his face is full of smiles.
But, the current Eevee was so weak, he was really afraid that he would choose the wrong position and step on them.
As a last resort, he had to take out some Pokéblocks and let them distract him for a while.
At the same time, when he was calming this little Eevee, the staff also moved the items in the helicopter, large and small boxes to the ground one by one.
They were also the staff of the Sakuragi Laboratory, which was responsible for transporting goods, and they wouldn't care about the rest.
Natsu asks Sakuragi to sign up for the Alliance instead of the things they transferred.
Among them, including eight Eevee foods for almost a year.
After all, Natsu works for the Alliance, and applies to Eevee as well to publish a better paper. It doesn't make sense that he has to take care of it himself, right?
Even though Pokémon like Eevee don't eat much, multiplying by eight is a huge expense.
Stick to the Alliance's wool policy.
After all, he would accept everything the Alliance would replace.
besides, also some instruments and various materials.
Part of it is for Eevee, but there's also part that Natsu plans to put into his Pokémon farm.
After all, a Pokémon farm is also a place where Pokémon are placed, and they can form.
These include Simple Pokémon Food Maker and various support instruments, Pokémon Daily Condition Detector, Simple Pokémon Healer, Range Monitor Sensor, and more.
After all, it was all paid for by the Alliance, and it was "reasonable" to get it, and Natsu didn't let it go.
This has greatly reduced his spending on opening Pokémon farms, and has also allowed him to form much faster.
Natsu nodded in satisfaction after checking that nothing was missing.
Then.
He saw Kikuya standing, waving at the slowly taking off helicopter.
Natsu was stunned for a moment, "Miss Kikuna, are you not going?"
Kikuya turned around, holding a notebook, moved towards Natsu and bowed slightly, "Mr. Natsu, teacher Knowing that you're going to open a Gym, there's a lot to prepare, so teacher specifically asked me to stay and help."
After a short pause, she immediately added: "Don't worry, when the 'Pokémon Eevee Laboratory' was built, I was in charge of supervising the construction of the private Laboratory that teacher had just completed, and I was in charge of personnel arrangements and work assignments, so I have some experience. the rich."
Unknowingly, Natsu wanted to give a thumbs up.
A talent!
What is called talent, this is true talent.
No wonder so many higher-ups have their own personal assistants.
Sometimes, a great assistant can really help in a lot of ways.
After all, the assistant has something to do, but nothing to do.
cough cough .
This way, Natsu is less worried and can put more time into Pokemon training.
Natsu thinks he might need to hire an amazing assistant in the future as well.
But yes.
There were so many secrets about him, and he was more worried about himself if the assistant wasn't someone he could trust completely.
But now that the Gym was being built, it was clear that Kikuya's presence had helped him immensely.
Natsu said sincerely, "Thank you for your teacher, and thank you very much for your help, Miss Kikuya."
Kikuya smiled, and said softly, "Me too. I wish Mr Natsu had more time to write Pokémon theses, work like this shouldn't be a hindrance to you."
Natsu was sweating.
Throw some Poke Balls.
Called Beedrill, Alakazam, Togekiss, Doublade and Chimchar.
Be prepared to put all of these instruments here first.
But then there is a problem that bothers Natsu.
Past.
If it was just him, he could stay at the Pokémon Center first, or even go back and forth to Celestic Town, it wouldn't take much time.
But now Kikuya is here.
With so much valuable equipment, it seemed impossible to stay there leisurely.
He was the Gym Leader in Solaceon Town, but he didn't own any property in Solaceon Town, and he even had to go to other people's houses to stay, which was a bit embarrassing actually.
But luckily, Kikuya's abilities were excellent, and she quickly rented a small house for Natsu, and there was a large garden, which he could use to train Pokémon and stockpile equipment.
Solaceon Town had nothing but more land and less people.
Kikuya also showed her abilities at first.
And on the same day.
The two construction teams from Steven's company, who had greeted Natsu earlier, also arrived at Solaceon Town one after another.
In fact, the construction team arrived immediately after the end of the tournament. Steven knew that Natsu would be building a Gym in Solaceon Town, so he also came to Solaceon Town.
But some of the equipment was huge, and the road to Solaceon Town wasn't easy to walk through, so it was only a few days late.
Natsu has a whole new understanding of the adjective "team" when he sees the large trucks speeding into Solaceon Town and the members of the construction team who are all in their 30s and 50s.
Dozens of big trucks, as well as all kinds of heavy lifting equipment, hundreds of muscular men with neat movements, and Machoke, Machamp, Gurdurr, who are even bigger than muscular men.
This might be a real Peak Level company ability in the Pokémon world.
As Natsu's representative, Kikuya went to speak to the Head of Person in Charge of the construction team.
She gives the construction team some basic ideas about what Natsu wants to build the Gym, so they can build the Gym better and faster.
For the location of the Gym and the funds needed for the construction of the Gym, this Alliance already exists.
It was just that the construction team arranged by the Alliance was slow.
But with Devon's over-configuration, the construction of the Gym building shouldn't take as much time as Natsu had hoped.
Natsu turned his head to the side and looked at Steven who was standing beside him with a smile on his face, an "ordinary operation" look.
"Aren't you going back to Hoenn?"
Natsu was very surprised that Steven also came with the construction team.
Steve took hold of his wrist and tidied up a bit, "I have two things I want to discuss with you."
"Me? Still discussing it?"
"Speaking here?" Steven looked around.
The construction team is very professional. After initially understanding what Natsu meant, they were ready to start construction.
The first thing to do is lay a solid foundation for the Gym.
"Follow me."
With that, Natsu directed Steven to the villa Kikuya had just rented.
Wood-fired fireplaces, crystal chandeliers, matching dark brown chairs, bookshelves and books all over the walls, plush rugs.
This is Natsu's temporary study.
Several buildings in the Sinnoh Area still retain the ancient style, the architectural style favored by many Sinnoh people.
The villa that Kikuya rented happened to be built in this style by the previous owner.
This highlights Sinnoh's legacy.
Natsu still likes him.
Nothing else, just a cultured highlight.
The two of them sat on either side of the table.
Kikuya also served tea very seriously, and then quietly closed the door and backed away.
"Who was Miss Kikuya earlier? Mr Sakuragi's assistant?" Steven looked at Kikuya who had left quietly and asked the question he wanted to ask just now.
"Yes, Mr. Sakuragi knows that I will be building a Gym and there will be a lot of trouble, so let Miss Kikuya help me for a bit." Natsu said with a smile.
"Mr. Sakuragi and you have a very good relationship." cried Steven.
If the relationship is not good, how can Sakuragi let his assistant help someone else.
This further confirms that Steven is on the right track this time.
"Yes." Natsu nodded.
Kikuya's arrival really saved him from a lot of troublesome work.
"By the way, what do you want to tell me? Also use 'negotiation', mysterious and secretive."
Back to topic.
Steven hesitated a little, then said helplessly, "Because I'm not only representing myself in this matter."
If it was his own business, of course he wouldn't bother using the word "negotiate" with Natsu.
Their relationship is still very good.
"En?" Natsu thought for a moment, then asked doubtfully: "The Devon Company? Is the experiment over?"
Hearing this, Natsu vaguely understood what Steven was about to say.
Steven said bluntly: "Yes, it should not be more than a month."
"We are. My father's intention, and the board's intention, is to win you over for the 'Intimacy' instrument manufacturing Authority." Steven hesitated a little to speak.
Not suprisingly.
If the person communicating with him is a foreigner, Steven is also in business.
But after all, the object is Natsu, and the relationship between the two is very good.
It was easy to think that Steven was taking advantage of the relationship, so he hesitated.
Natsu was surprised to hear what Steven said.
The Devon Company deserves to be the Grand Duke of the Peak of the entire Pokémon world, and has a very keen sense of smell in this area.
No doubt.
Once "intimacy" is thoroughly verified, the "intimacy" testing instrument will surely become a must-have tool for every Trainer.
Whether your Pokémon needs intimacy to evolve or not, who doesn't want to know if your relationship with your Pokémon is good or bad?
That's a big piece of cake.
As the authors of the paper "Intimacy", Sakuragi and Natsu hold the key to this cake.
So currently Steven is acting as Devon's representative, not just Natsu's friend.
And those who know the identity of Natsu's "dodo" are actually just a few of them.
Natsu pressed his forehead lightly "I don't think I'm going to talk about this alone, Mr. Sakuragi might be more suitable to talk."
Even though the cake is big, Natsu as one of the participants will definitely feel the benefits.
But he still has principles.
He was only in charge of the overall topic of the research, as well as helping Sakuragi avoid some detours in the middle, most of which Sakuragi did, it was inappropriate for him to open his mouth first.
Steven reluctantly laughed, "I know, our company has also sent someone to contact Mr. Sakuragi. In fact, it's not only our Devon company that has contacted Mr. Sakuragi, but also many other companies, including Silver, but Mr. Sakuragi is just obsessed with research and doesn't care about these things.
And, as he said…"
Steve paused and glanced at Natsu, then continued "He said that the subject is your first decision, the direction is also determined by you, and the method is also determined by you. He is only a practitioner, so the decision remains yours.
It's just that no one else knows the identity of 'Dodo', and they can't confirm it, but I was lucky to find out, so…"
"No, Mr. Sakuragi said let me decide?" Natsu's eyes narrowed slightly. .
Is the big decision up to him?
Natsu was silent.
"En." Steven responded.
Immediately added: "But Natsu, what I said just now is only for the Devon company, not for me personally. No matter what you choose, I won't mind, it won't affect the relationship between us either."
Public is public and private is private, Steven is still very clear.
Natsu pressed his temples, and nodded saying he wouldn't misunderstand Steven.
Seeing that he understood, Steven also relaxed a little.
"Let me think about it. What other two things did you say?"
Speaking of the others, Steven smiled, "Aren't you building a Gym? Solaceon Town will definitely thrive with your construction, and I have great faith in you, so this time I represent Devon and look forward to investing in Solaceon Town's development. "
This is a mutually beneficial thing. Even if Steven didn't come, it was expected that several other businessmen in the Sinnoh Region would.
Compared to others, Natsu clearly trusts Steven more.
"Oh, yes, one more little thing. "
Under Natsu's gaze, Steven said, "Whatever decision you make in the end, our Devon company looks forward to hiring you as an honorary consultant for the company, just put your name, enjoy the benefits and no need to go to work. "
Natsu has shown innate talent and ability both in the trainer field and in the research field. Of course, other people might only know about Natsu's abilities in trainer, so this Steven is against all opinions.
This decision was the idea that he, a young Devon owner, made some rare corporate decisions.
Natsu looked deeply at Steven, and scolded with a smile: "Steven, you really brought me a lot."
Steven wasn't angry either.
The two looked at each other and laughed.
...
...
Somewhere in the Sinnoh County office.
"Mr Cyrus, have you heard of the construction of a Gym in Solaceon Town by the 'Lily of the Valley tournament runner-up'?"
Cyrus sat expressionlessly behind his desk, looking at the documents in his hands while listening to his subordinates' reports.
"Continue." Cyrus said flatly.
"Solaceon Town's breeding house. Feel the pressure."
Cyrus slowly put down the document in his hand and glanced at his subordinate who was looking down in front of him.
The breeding house in Solaceon Town, for the entire Galactic Team is a very important place.
After all, Team Galactic can hide very well in the Sinnoh Region and can continue to increase its strength. Stable delivery of high-quality Pokemon from the breeding house is an important point.
"Hunter's Guild, have you made contact?" Cyrus didn't say anything about Solaceon City, but asked about something else.
"Yeah but. The Hunter's Guild has been a bit chaotic and messy recently."
Cyrus lowered his gaze.
Stand up slowly.
"Bring me my coat."
