Chapter 11 - Conflict

Luke was riding Salamence above Cerulean City when Officer Jenny spotted him.

"Trainer on the Salamence above, please land! Flying Pokémon are not allowed in the city!"

Officer Jenny shouted through a megaphone from below.

"Ignore them, go to the Pokémon Center!" Luke told Salamence.

Seeing Salamence completely disregard her and fly away, Jenny was furious!

"Some of you go chase that trainer, use capture methods if necessary!"

"The rest of you come with me to check out the cave!" Jenny commanded.

"Officer Jenny, that Salamence's trainer seemed to be flying from the direction of the cave. Could he be connected to what's happening there?" one of the officers said.

"Are you sure?" Jenny asked.

"Yes, I'm certain! I saw him fly out of that cave entrance!"

"In that case, that trainer must be a very dangerous individual!"

"You all go check out the cave, I'll lead the team to pursue that trainer. And notify the aerial unit to mobilize!" Jenny decided.

Meanwhile, as Luke was approaching the Pokémon Center, he was intercepted by the League's aerial unit, who were threatening to attack him if he didn't land.

"Salamence, hold them off here, but don't cause any casualties. Just play with them a bit!"

After giving instructions, Luke instantly teleported to the Pokémon Center using psychic powers.

He urgently said to Nurse Joy while holding out Suicune's Poké Ball.

"Nurse Joy, please treat it quickly, its injuries are very severe and life-threatening!"

"Alright!" Hearing this, Nurse Joy hurriedly took the Poké Ball and rushed to the operating room.

Luke let out a small sigh of relief and sat down in a chair to wait for the results.

Outside, chaos had erupted in the sky, with Salamence leading a group of flying Pokémon and their trainers on a wild goose chase!

If Luke hadn't given instructions, Salamence would have incinerated them all with Dragon Breath long ago.

When Officer Jenny arrived at the scene, she saw the aerial unit being toyed with by Salamence!

She was immediately exasperated - this was supposed to be the League's elite aerial unit?

They couldn't even handle a single Pokémon!

"Where's the trainer of that Salamence?" Jenny asked the person in charge here.

"We don't know! He suddenly disappeared just now!" the person in charge replied weakly.

"Disappeared? And you don't even know how he disappeared?"

Jenny suddenly felt her future looked bleak.

With such useless subordinates, how was she supposed to get promotions and raises in the future?

How could she reach the pinnacle of her career?

"Hurry up and go find him!" Jenny showed signs of turning into a man-eating monster as her dreams shattered.

The League personnel quickly scattered in all directions, knowing they'd be beaten if they ran too slowly.

At this moment, a car pulled up next to Jenny, and a middle-aged man with a big belly got out.

Jenny quickly greeted him, "Mayor, what brings you here?"

It turned out to be the mayor of Cerulean City.

"Jenny, what's the situation?" the mayor asked.

"I'm sorry, Mayor! We haven't found the perpetrator yet! We're still not clear on exactly what happened," Jenny said apologetically.

"What? You still haven't found them? You..." The mayor was furious.

Such a big commotion was very unfavorable for his re-election campaign this year!

But the Jenny clan had vast influence, so he didn't dare scold her too harshly.

Just then, a League member came running over and said.

"We found him!"

*****

At the Pokémon Center, Luke kept glancing towards the operating room, hoping Suicune would be alright.

At this time, Jenny and a middle-aged man approached him with a group of subordinates.

"Are you the trainer of that Salamence?" Jenny asked Luke.

"Yes, I am," Luke said apologetically. "I'm sorry for causing trouble, but I had an emergency!"

"What kind of emergency? Do you know you've violated multiple League regulations?"

Seeing Luke's relatively polite attitude, Jenny also relaxed a bit.

After all, he was a powerful trainer and his Salamence was still playing cat and mouse with them outside.

It would be best to resolve this peacefully if possible.

"A Pokémon's life was in danger, so I had no choice but to rush here like that," Luke explained, pointing at the operating room.

"I see..." Jenny nodded in understanding.

In this world, the relationship between humans and Pokémon was like family and friends, so Jenny could understand.

The mayor, however, couldn't accept this.

He jumped out and pointed at Luke and said.

"All this for just one Pokémon? Do you know how much trouble you've caused for our Cerulean City?"

Luke loved Pokémon, loved their purity and loyalty.

What he hated most were people who didn't value Pokémon's lives.

Looking at this middle-aged man with disgust, Luke said.

"And who the fuck are you?"

"I am the mayor of Cerulean City!" The mayor said.

"So what does the esteemed mayor want?" Luke asked calmly.

"Of course to arrest you and hold you responsible for this incident!" The mayor said matter-of-factly, then turned to Jenny and said.

"I'm not wrong, am I, Officer Jenny?"

"Theoretically that's correct! But he didn't do this intentionally and there were no casualties, so why don't we just have him pay for damages and forget about the arrest?" Jenny said reluctantly.

"How can that be? The whole city is in chaos now! If we let him go, how am I supposed to explain this?" The mayor immediately protested.

If they released the culprit, who would he use as a scapegoat?

What about his reputation?

But the other party was strong and forcefully confronting a powerful trainer over a minor issue would only lead to worse consequences.

Jenny sighed inwardly.

"Fine! I have no problem with paying compensation. But I can't leave right now. As for arresting me? You don't have that authority!" Luke impatiently took out an ID and handed it to Jenny.

League Special Operations Department.

In short: Special Agent!

This position was created for those powerful trainers who didn't want to be bound by the League but still wanted to enjoy its benefits.

These strong trainers normally didn't have to follow League orders and still enjoyed League benefits, but if there were any important operations or emergencies, they had to help the League.

It was a mutually beneficial relationship.

This department was directly managed by League Headquarters and other departments had to apply through Headquarters to utilize them.

Of course, the entry requirements were also quite strict, requiring trainers to be at least have the strength of Elite Four level Candidates. (Ace trainer perhaps)

This department also had its own ranking system, divided into Silver level for Elite Four Candidates, Gold level for Elite Four members and finally Diamond level for Champions.

Luke joined this department two years ago because he wanted to travel the world.

Officer Jenny took the ID and looked at it, exclaiming.

"Diamond Special Agent!"

She didn't expect this young man to already be at the diamond level at such a young age!

Then she breathed a sigh of relief, realizing it wasn't her business anymore.

She couldn't handle someone of this caliber and could only report it up for the higher-ups to deal with.

Though it would likely amount to nothing in the end!

"What diamond special agent?" the mayor asked in confusion.

This mayor really didn't understand this department.

Besides the fact that the department was only established in recent years, he mainly hadn't bothered to learn about it himself.

Another reason was that he belonged to the civil administration, while Luke belonged to the military administration.

Civil administration: Refers to those who hold civilian positions and handle civil affairs.

For example: presidents, council members, mayors, town leaders, etc.

Military administration: Refers to armed forces that handle various dangerous situations.

For example: Elite Four, Champions, local police departments, international police, etc.

"I don't care if it's diamond or gold, he must take responsibility for this matter!" the mayor said impatiently.

Then he ordered Officer Jenny, "Now I command you, arrest him!"

"I'm sorry, Mayor! I really can't handle this, nor can I arrest him!" Officer Jenny was also annoyed.

You're deliberately trying to cause trouble for me, aren't you?

"You... this is an order!" the mayor said angrily.

"I refuse!" Officer Jenny wasn't intimidated.

Not just anyone could bully the Jenny clan!

System: Ding! As a hero, how can you tolerate annoying flies buzzing in your ear? Choose, young man!

A: Throw him out and let the world return to peace!

B: Kick him in the balls!

C: Choose neither, and the host will castrate himself!

It seems the system was also annoyed by the noise!

"Enough! So noisy... A mere mayor dares to nag in front of me!" The impatient Luke directly used psychic power to throw the esteemed mayor out.

The pampered mayor couldn't withstand such a fall and immediately passed out.

Now the world was finally quiet!

System: Ding! Finally at ease! Mission completed! Reward: Suicune's affection towards the host is maxed out!

Great, this will make capturing Suicune even more easy.

"Officer Jenny, I will give the League an explanation for this matter. You can go now!" After dealing with the annoying fly, Luke said to Officer Jenny.

I've been waiting for you to say that!

"Alright! But..." Officer Jenny hesitated.

"Is there something else?" Luke asked.

"Could you recall your Salamence outside?" How could I say that the babies outside are about to cry?

"Uh! I'm sorry! I forgot! I'll go recall it right away!" With that, Luke walked outside.

Luke and Officer Jenny went outside and looked up.

It was quite a harmonious scene.

The flying Pokémon were lined up in formation, with Salamence commanding in front.

They would change formation with each roar.

"Haha! I didn't expect you all to get along so well!" Luke called out to Salamence, "Come back, Salamence!"

The flying squad roared in unison, "Get along my ass! We were forced into this, forced!"

After recalling Salamence, Luke returned to the Pokémon Center.

Officer Jenny looked at the disheveled flying squad before her and said irritably.

"Look at the state of you, thats really such an embarassing display!"

Flying squad: ........

******

When Luke returned to the Pokémon Center, he saw Nurse Joy coming out of the operating room.

He quickly ran over and asked, "How is it? Nurse Joy, is Suicune alright?"

Though her face was tired, Nurse Joy still smiled sweetly and said.

"It's good you brought it in time, any later and it would have been hard to say. Now it's out of life-threatening danger, After a few days of rest, it should be fine!"
