Ash, The Next Red?

"You're here, this time, for Rope?"

Giovanni said rather breathlessly.

Mewtwo nodded, but then shook his head, "Sort of, but I haven't found an answer yet, so I won't be seeing Rope for a while."

"But if Rope needs my help, I won't sit around and do nothing."

Mewtwo spoke earnestly, and Giovanni listened with heartfelt concern. His own subordinates back then and his underlings back then had now taken the shape of Rope, and although Giovanni hadn't officially met Rope yet, he was now very much looking forward to that day.

He also wanted to see what kind of charm this Rope guy had that could bring them all together.

"What answers are you looking for."

Giovanni asked. Not that he cared too much about the question. Or rather, he had already guessed what answer Mewtwo was looking for.

"I'm looking for the meaning of existence."

Mewtwo said somewhat ruefully.

He had already been out searching, and had met the Genesect who were also searching. He felt like he had found his meaning when he helped them, but he wasn't sure how right that answer was.

This must have been another powerless forehead-raising moment for Rope if he had known. The Genesect and the Legend Awakened storyline has already happened? Ash hasn't traveled yet probs! I guess without Ash or Rope's involvement, Mewtwo isn't quite sure of the answers he's going to get in this one.

That's why Mewtwo came here to find his creators, Mr. Fuji and Blaine, to ask the question again. Then finally find Rope and tell him the answer.

Mewtwo in his own subconscious already considers Rope as the most trustworthy person.

Sort of a success of Rope's earlier work of empathizing with him.

Giovanni nodded then said, "It really seems like you've gotten a lot better, and have stopped looking for trouble with me."

"Troubling you is not going to help solve my problems. It's true that I hate humans, and I hate you, the one who deceived me, but I don't hold a grudge against you is all."

"Destroying your forces is also just a matter of interest coupled with taking out some bad blood."

Mewtwo said it so plainly, so plainly that Giovanni almost clammed up.

"...If it's alright you can go. I've got some work to do. And Silver's about to get off work, so I need to get back to preparing some food."

Giovanni said blandly.

Mewtwo wasn't ambiguous and nodded, then got up and looked at Giovanni, "You're strong, so I can't let you get on the opposite side of Rope. I'll take care of you first if I have to."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Giovanni to speak before appearing outside the window in a flash and then rushing into the distance as a stream of light.

The corner of Giovanni's mouth eventually twitched without being able to hold back...

What the hell is going on here...

He was clearly doing everything right, and today he was threatened by three people. Though the first two he really didn't think much of. But this Mewtwo guy... he really had to think more about his threats himself.

"Rope... what kind of person is this?"

Giovanni shook his head, then sighed softly.

He then picked up the book he had in his hand and read it carefully and seriously.

And on the cover of that book was clearly '50 Ways to Make Home Cooking.'

It's worth mentioning... the author of this book is Rope...

——————————————

Rope sits in Lance's office being questioned by a circle of people including Professor Oak.

His face is full of raw emotion.

Because present are some representatives of the family power.

But he couldn't just refuse these meetings, after all, there were Clair, Koga, Granny Agatha, and some other acquaintances.

Rope said helplessly, "I know where you all are coming from, and on behalf of the Oak family, I hereby promise you all. As long as you do not help the Servants of God, then I can guarantee that your rights will not be violated for some time."

"This we will exchange certain benefits with League after electing a representative of the family power."

Rope looked at these people in front of him and could only open his mouth to reassure them.

"Of course everyone here including the families behind you are involved in Servants of God's plan, then again don't blame League for being unsympathetic. We will sanction you all including the Oak family."

Of course, giving a sweet date had to be accompanied by a blow. They couldn't be made to think too highly of their position.

"Rope, I'd like to hear your analysis."

Clair pondered for a while, ignoring her own cousin, she just stared at Rope and asked. Her cousin didn't manage the family's affairs, but instead ran away to League. Although he would also give some favors to the family from time to time, but truly speaking, he really didn't know much about the family's affairs.

Naturally there were a lot of family twists and turns that he wasn't clear on either. It was like the basic means of family survival like betting on both ends.

If Servants of God had a certain chance of winning against League, then supporting Servants of God wasn't something they couldn't do.

At most, this kind of thing would only result in the loss of one of the Servants of Gods. But if victory was achieved, it would be an opportunity for the family to go further. Why not be happy about it?

When Rope heard Clair's words, he didn't immediately give an answer but looked at everyone present. Even Koga's face was showing this kind of expression. She couldn't help but sigh in the bottom of her heart.

But if you think about it, although you were speaking in favor of League this time, you were actually speaking from the Oak family's position. So also relieved.

There are some things that if you come to be unable to even do it yourself, then forcing others to do it in a brainwave is just hooliganism.

Rope fixed his mind, then spoke seriously, "I really don't think there's any advantage to be gained from the family power's involvement in this one."

"Everyone is naturally aware of League's attitude towards all of you. To say it's nonchalant would be an overstatement."

"But do you guys think that Servants of God's attitude towards you guys will be much better?"

"Some families themselves have a grudge against those in power at Servants of God."

As Rope said these words, Lorelei couldn't help but look at Lance, who also had an embarrassed look on his face.

After all, being able to exterminate someone's entire family was this kind of revenge. If Rope hadn't built a bridge, then Snow would have found a reason to bring some people to give the Dragon Master family a deep lesson in the middle of this incident absolutely no one would have been able to say anything more.

Whether or not the Dragon Master family will continue to exist in this world may not be.

Clair also saw her cousin's embarrassed look. But she didn't know what her cousin was thinking, and could only wait until later to inquire about it.

But there were some family members present who nodded almost involuntarily after hearing Rope's words. And Rope's mouth was slightly twitching under the initial interpretation through his heartitis.

With so many clans had already secretly been in contact with Servants of God, whether it was a friendship or a beam. It was always the case that everyone was no stranger to each other. Now it seemed that the League side's news acquisition efficiency couldn't even be described as slow.

"Moreover, as far as I know, the true leader of Servants of God does not have the slightest pursuit of power at all. Although I don't know exactly what he is pursuing, believe me, it is definitely not their chief's intention to drag you into that so-called grandiose domination.

Not even the chief's intention, what makes you think that they will keep their promise and give you what you deserve?"

Rope didn't say much, just made the point.

Of course, even if Rope said that, the clans that would listen to Rope in the end would still be the minority.

The people in charge of the clans would only be more obnoxious than the administrative officials of the League.

Suddenly Rope understood why Servants of God had adopted a simple to the extreme commission system.

It seemed the least secure that way, but instead it was the simplest and most effective way to work.

"Alright Professor Rope, we will go back and discuss what you said with the elders of the family."

A man with eyes and a svelte look spoke up.

Rope nodded and then gestured towards the back of Lance's office door.

"Be my guest, I think you're all in a bit of a hurry. I won't keep you all much longer."

And so the crowd of subs thanked towards Rope before filing out and were soon out of sight."

And at this point, the ones left in the office were all their own people.

Rope helplessly rubbed his temples, then bitterly smiled and said to Professor Oak, "Professor, what are you doing? I shouldn't be the one to start this kind of meeting..."

Professor Oak sat on the side and looked at Rope with a smile on his face and said, "It's always a matter of getting used to it. There are still many days ahead."

Rope was startled, and then hurriedly shouted, "No. What do you mean by 'later days'? What do you mean, 'There's still a lot of time ahead.' ! The head of the family is Blue! And no more than that, it's Daisy! Why would it be me!"

"It's not decided, it's not decided, calm down, it's just that everyone is more in your favor right now. It's not set in stone yet, so anything is possible!"

"Then it could indeed be me! I'm really not interested or qualified, you're not pushing me into a corner! Anyway, Blue is still idle, what's wrong with being the head of the family!"

Rope shrugged it off, Blue just sneered and didn't say anything. He was looking at what other reasons Rope could have for his recent surge in public opinion in the family.

Because they did find the precursor of Ultra Wormhole in the Alola area. Which means Rope wasn't wrong in his judgment. It also allowed the Oak family to know about a crisis in advance and cut a lot of losses.

The money was secondary, the main thing was the people. Once these people were suddenly attacked, their losses would be quite high, and Rope had saved their lives in a sense, so they were naturally grateful. They were naturally grateful.

On top of that, Rope's activity these days and the upcoming events had caused support for Rope within the family to grow higher and higher.

Even if Rope was only the adopted son of the Oak family. After all, the Oak family a all cared more about the bond of faith between its members than mere blood. It was like the ancestral land of Pallet Town. At this point in time, not many families in Pallet Town have the Oak surname. Yet everyone was considered an Oak family.

"That's how the family chose it anyway, but don't worry, I won't force you to do anything else!"

Professor Oak laughed somewhat unscrupulously.

And Daisy on one side 'Teng' turned red in the face.

And everyone else present was also smiling.

Rope's head was spinning...

Rope calmed down a bit and shook his head, ''Professor, this is not the time to discuss who is the head of the house at all. I've already confirmed that Servants of God may have very exaggerated forces behind them, so we have to be careful and cautious in our response."

Hearing Rope say something so serious, the smiles on everyone's faces gradually disappeared, replaced by the same gravity as Rope.

Rope looked at Red and said, "Red, I'm afraid you're not going to be spared this time. And it's not to the extent that a fight will do."

Red still had a smile on his face, and gently nodded and said, "It's up to you to arrange it."

Rope nodded back. Then thought of Ash, then turned to Lance and said, "The next Indigo Plateau Conference is still on schedule, right?"

Lance nodded and said, "It's being held as planned, no changes at this time. It would be inappropriate to expose our panic to the populace now before something really big happens."

Rope nodded rather approvingly and said, "Go on then, don't stop, an influx of new trainers might help us as well."

"Maybe even another Red!"

Hearing this everyone just laughed and didn't take it seriously.

To produce a Red?

Even in the current League, other than Rope, there were only three other people who could really fight with Red.

As for the exception of Rope, it's because trainers can't play on the battlefield.

Otherwise this ranking would be Rope and other trainers...

Only Red, Blue, Daisy, and Professor Oak, who knew Rope well enough, could see that Rope wasn't joking...

Is he really planning to raise a new generation of Red?

And who would that be, Ash?

The Pallet Town crowd pondered this question in their minds.

They didn't doubt the resources Rope could give. But for a trainer like Red, resources were not the deciding factor at all.

Rope was actually hesitant, should he push Ash? Seriously, in the original storyline, Ash only begins to mature after meeting Shinji in the Sinnoh region.

Ash at the beginning of his travels is nothing if not childish. It feels as if Ash has not changed in age during his own journey, even though it is said that he has not changed in age. But in fact, his character and mentality did grow.

But that's without the restraints of wild growth...

What if Ash was spurred on by a crisis in the world, a crisis in his family and friends? What if it was up to himself or Red or Blue to take Ash through some of his problems?

What would Ash's future look like?

Rope didn't know. Just like he didn't know if he should.

Ash, could he be the next Red?
