"Not yet. Wait until I've mostly recovered. For now, you should train your Pokémon a little. By the way, I haven't even seen your Pokémon before." Steven Stone spoke to Qing Wu.
"Everyone, come on out." Qing Wu knew Steven Stone had begun to suspect him. Fortunately, he had switched out his Pokémon back when he was in Sootopolis City.
Qing Wu had also used hacking methods to block the Pokémon Transporter's signal during that period. Even Devon Corporation would not be able to find anything.
"Come out, Aggron, Wartortle, Charmander, Treecko, and Swablu." Qing Wu released five Pokémon at once.
"Aren't these the Starters from our Hoenn Region? Right, you received them from Professor Birch. See? My memory is still sharp." President Steven Stone patted his head.
Steven Stone had actually discovered that Qing Wu had not been at the Nurturing House during this period. He strongly suspected that Qing Wu had infiltrated the Burial Tower personnel, but he had no evidence.
That was why Steven Stone had asked to see Qing Wu's Pokémon. He wanted to check whether he had seen any of them at the Burial Tower.
Steven Stone possessed a special ability: he could remember the physical features and appearances of every Pokémon he had ever seen.
"By the way, I just excavated something very special. It's perfect as a gift for you joining the company." Steven Stone clapped his hands, and his assistant immediately carried a wooden box to the door and opened it.
"Take a look. Do you like it?" Steven Stone smiled at Qing Wu.
Qing Wu took the wooden box from the assistant. It was lined with Swanna velvet, and a polished green crystal rested on top. A leaf was embedded in the crystal, which was brimming with the aura of life.
