With the departure of the two protagonists, Gold and Silver,
Ecruteak City also grew quiet.
Gym Leader Morty arrived late. By the time he got there, everyone who needed saving had been sent to the hospital, and everything that needed cleaning up had been cleaned up.
All he could do was awkwardly thank Heiduo, who had arrived in time to save the day, then rush with the mayor to Goldenrod City to request a budget from the Pokémon Center for rebuilding Bell Tower and the city.
That was right, they were asking the Pokémon Association. There were no insurance companies, and there was no way they could be expected to pay for the reconstruction themselves. Before they knew who had done it, the Pokémon Association had to take responsibility.
What, the Gym Leader should be responsible? Morty would need to have money first. He still had to help people find Pokémon to earn rewards. Where would he get the money to rebuild such a huge city, not to mention Bell Tower?
What a joke.
By comparison, Jasmine, the Gym Leader from the neighboring city, was far more capable. Though she loved romance novels and had a bunch of Pokémon that consumed electricity and iron like crazy, she had connections. With so many construction companies in Olivine City, she could casually pick out three or four exceptionally capable ones.
And so... the reconstruction was handed over to the Rising Sun Group.
That was right, Yunsheng's family company.
Heiduo had even introduced them to Jasmine himself.
Of course, he had asked Yunsheng beforehand whether they were interested in taking on Ecruteak City's reconstruction.
Naturally, Yunsheng was more than willing. The profits and benefits involved in building a city were impossible to calculate. Heiduo's recommendation alone was enough to make many small companies
