Chapter 233 233: The Policewoman and the Gangster
After all the Pokémon and a few unfortunate individuals had fallen to the ground.
Giovanni and Sasaki recalled their Pokémon.
Officer Jenny cuffed the few individuals, put away and locked up the Pokémon, then asked Giovanni and Sasaki:
"I didn't expect you two to be so strong. Why didn't you make a move just now? I thought you couldn't do it."
Miss Joy, who was beside them, said to Giovanni and Sasaki, "You two are amazing."
Giovanni glanced at Officer Jenny and casually replied, "We were just about to make a move when you suddenly appeared."
Because Giovanni's tone was indeed a bit irritating, Officer Jenny, whose temper was not particularly good, immediately gritted her teeth and shouted:
"What do you mean by that tone? Are you blaming me? Wasn't I helping out of good will?"
Giovanni didn't expect Officer Jenny to react so strongly. He shook his head, "Think whatever you want."
He nodded to Sasaki, "Let's go."
Jenny directly blocked Giovanni's path, "Wait, you're not allowed to leave."
From being blocked at the beginning to Jenny blocking the way now, this plot seems a bit cliché no matter how you look at it.
Surely there won't be a tangled romantic subplot with this Jenny, right?
The drama between a beautiful police officer and a young gang leader has a bit of a Hong Kong drama feel to it.
Giovanni shook his head, casting aside this unrealistic thought, "I don't remember any rule in the Alliance law that allows police officers to stop people arbitrarily. Moreover, the parties involved also have the right not to go to the police station."
Jenny looked at Giovanni, hold backfor a long time, and said, "You... you know the Alliance law so well, there must be something fishy."
Giovanni leaned his head towards Jenny, "Heh, how childish. So you're going to arrest me just based on a guess? Just because I remember laws and regulations? So it turns out being a law-abiding citizen is also wrong."
Jenny's tall figure was not much different from Giovanni's.
As soon as Giovanni got close, it was like his face was almost touching hers, and the warm breath from his words was blowing onto her cheeks.
A blush immediately appeared on Jenny's face, "You... you..."
"Hmm..." Miss Joy and Sasaki's eyes immediately lit up.
And while Officer Jenny was stammering, Giovanni suddenly took a step back, creating distance between them.
Disappointment was clearly visible in the eyes of Sasaki and Miss Joy.
Giovanni then said to Jenny, "So, Officer Jenny, you have time to arrest me, an excellent Trainer."
He pointed his finger at one of the arrested individuals, "Why not go and round up the entire gang of these guys?"
While Jenny was still feeling both shy and confused, Giovanni turned and walked away, leaving only one sentence: "I can remind you that the manager of the resource store in that commercial center has some issues."
Since these guys were caught, it was only a matter of time before they would expose that manager.
If Giovanni were to kill that manager, it would only cause unnecessary trouble.
With Jenny involved, even if that person had backing in Cerulean City, as long as he had harmed people before, he wouldn't be able to get out again.
Miss Joy, who was beside her, looked at Giovanni's departing back and asked Officer Jenny, "Officer Jenny, do you think what he said is true?"
Officer Jenny finally came to her senses. She gritted her teeth and angrily shouted:
"Whether what he said is true or not, I've remembered him! Don't let me run into him again. As for that manager, we'll just look into it while we're at it."
Miss Joy nodded obediently, "Mhm, we have time anyway."
The Jenny Family has a lot of influence, and coupled with Officer Jenny's special identity, the investigation was quite easy.
Soon, everything was brought to light, and it was discovered that the manager had indeed done many bad things, so the manager was directly imprisoned.
It's estimated that the death penalty is unavoidable.
Outside the Cerulean City Water Gym, Giovanni and Sasaki had already arrived, but looking at the empty Gym, they felt a bit puzzled.
Giovanni shouted loudly inside, "Is anyone here? I want to challenge the Gym."
After a short while, a handsome young man walked out. He said to Giovanni with a bit of embarrassment:
"I'm really sorry, but because someone challenged the Gym today and defeated all of my father's Pokémon, we might not be able to hold Gym battles for the next few days."
He also let Giovanni and Sasaki take a look at the empty Gym:
"I'm sure you've seen it, the Gym apprentices aren't here either. Cerulean City is holding a Researcher exchange conference soon, so they've all gone to the police station to help out."
Giovanni frowned. This was the second time; last time, Takeo's Pokémon were also injured.
As for the person who got there first, Lance's face, which was even more pretentious than Giovanni's, couldn't help but appear in Giovanni's mind, "Is it that guy again?"
The young man was quite polite, "I'm really sorry. If you're willing to wait a few days, that would be best."
He thought for a moment and pulled out a few tickets from his pocket, "How about this, as an apology, I'll give you these tickets for the water ballet performance."
He confidently said to Giovanni and Sasaki, "Tomorrow there will be a very magnificent and beautiful water ballet performance, an art that absolutely cannot be missed. The dance I choreographed!"
Giovanni didn't understand anything about water ballet or art.
But Sasaki, who came from a prominent family, knew about it. He carefully observed the young man in front of him, then exclaimed in surprise:
"You are... you are Hyacinth?"
Hyacinth confidently ran a hand through his hair, "That's right, it's me."
Sasaki was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth, "It really is you."
Giovanni, very unceremoniously, broke Hyacinth's pretense, "So who is he?"
Sasaki explained to Giovanni, "He is the most famous choreography genius in the Kanto Region; he achieved fame at a young age."
Giovanni nodded very calmly, "I see."
No matter what they said, Giovanni truly hadn't seen it and couldn't be bothered with it.
Hyacinth could tell that Giovanni clearly knew nothing about this field, but his goal was to engrave art into the hearts of ordinary people and bring them into the temple of art.
"Anyway, please be sure to come and support us tomorrow. It will definitely let you experience what art is."
Sasaki seemed very interested and immediately agreed, "Okay, we'll definitely be there to support you."
Giovanni frowned. He was unwilling to indulge in pleasure, and he still had things to do in Cerulean City.
Hyacinth smiled and added:
"Oh, and you probably don't know, the Researcher exchange conference will be held right after the performance. Who knows, you might even be sitting next to some famous Researcher then."
"However, ordinary people cannot enter the real Researcher exchange conference."
