Leon, Professor Oak, and many other researchers attended the press conference, where Leon apologized and announced that he would serve as the Galar Region's interim president.
The news caused an uproar, but the presidents of the various Alliances all sent videos expressing their support for Leon taking the position, alongside Professor Oak's declaration.
This put the public completely at ease. Besides, Leon enjoyed tremendous prestige. As Champion, he had led by example, braved danger, and helped the people. There was practically no opposition at all!
Peace returned to Galar, and Leon plunged into his incredibly busy work.
At Wyndon Airport, Professor Oak shook Hu Bin's hand and said, "What a shame. We didn't get to watch you make Pokéblocks in person and explain the key points this time!"
Hu Bin smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about that. There'll be plenty of opportunities. Once Leon finishes sorting things out, the Research Symposium will have to be held again. We can study them together then!"
Professor Oak nodded with a smile. The other distinguished professors also nodded at Hu Bin and smiled warmly. They had all just added him to their contacts and placed a pile of orders with him.
Hu Bin was absolutely overjoyed!
After Professor Oak and the others boarded their plane, Professor Magnolia walked up to Hu Bin and said, "Thank you so much for everything this time, Hu Bin. If you hadn't discovered it in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
Hu Bin replied modestly, "None of us wanted to see Eternatus appear and cause destruction. Naturally, I had to do whatever I could!"
Professor Magnolia looked at Hu Bin appreciatively and said with a slight smile, "You're very impressive. Now that you have Zacian, you're even stronger! Keep working hard. You have a bright future
