Pokémon Court-Chapter 522: *Title Hidden*

The difficulty of the "Fallarbor Woods Bug-type Pokémon Scenic Area Project" lay in how to regulate the ecosystem within Fallarbor Woods.

Such an important issue certainly couldn't be entrusted to a rookie like Sorako, who had just graduated from university. Even if her major was relevant, whether she could execute the task properly was another matter entirely.

Terrance had also taken things for granted. He initially thought that since he wasn't skilled in this area, he could simply hire professionals specializing in it.

However, for a project to be successful, it needed a leader to guide a professional team. The candidates he recruited for the various positions all turned out to be unqualified, as determined by the two interviewers he had relied on to screen them.

According to the interviewers, trying to piece together a team out of these "rabble" to complete the project would be futile. It would be better to abandon the plan entirely—unless there was an exceptionally skilled researcher to lead the team.

Terrance quickly realized his mistake. After all, in his previous life, he had also been just a recent university graduate with almost no social experience, let alone someone capable of being the person in charge behind an event. Thankfully, someone pointed this out to him—otherwise, if he had proceeded alone, failure would have been inevitable.

"So, I suggest reaching out to professors from prestigious universities and collaborating with them and their students to complete this project," Laika said. freēnovelkiss.com

"Given your status as a Gym Leader, contacting them shouldn't be too difficult. As long as you can offer the right remuneration, they'll definitely be willing to participate."

"At the very least, they would have the backing of an entire research center. Even if problems arise, they can be easily addressed. Besides, with a professor leading the team, developing a forest should be a simple task."

"Any other suggestions?" Terrance asked.

He wasn't particularly familiar with this field, and hiring professors... some of them had an even higher social status than Gym Leaders. They wouldn't be easy to persuade.

Faced with Terrance's concerns, Laika didn't mind taking the time to explain carefully.

...

...

Two days later.

When Laika and another female interviewer met with Terrance again, he still insisted on his original idea.

Before this, he had attempted to contact research institutions like Mossdeep University, but in the end, his efforts had failed.

The project Terrance had envisioned would take too long to complete. No one was willing to cooperate on such a long-term plan with an uncertain future.

Additionally, the wages Terrance could offer were limited, so hardly any prominent figures were interested in taking part.

Terrance understood this well. Even though he was a Gym Leader, he had only recently taken up the position and did not have much influence.

He was nothing like Mr. Norman, who was already renowned as Hoenn's strongest Gym Leader, possessing strength on par with the Elite Four.

Nor was he comparable to Mr. Wattson, who had once successfully completed the renovation project of Mauville City, transforming it into a massive residential area.

"You still want to build a team out of those applicants?" Laika asked in surprise.

He had thought he had made his point clear, but he hadn't expected Terrance to be so stubborn.

"That's right." Terrance gave a wry smile. It wasn't that he deliberately wanted to choose those less experienced applicants—rather, given the current circumstances, they were his only option.

"But this means there's a high chance the development of Fallarbor Woods will fail," Laika said seriously.

"Without high-level personnel leading the team, if any problems arise, these rookies would be thrown into disarray."

"I know that," Terrance nodded. "But I've already solved that issue."

"Looking at the current conditions, it seems like we can only attract rookies. However, if we select the most suitable candidates, they may still be up to the task. Besides, this project may take a few years, so they will have time to grow."

"Hmm?" Laika was puzzled as to why Terrance was so confident that these rookies could handle the project.

Just as Terrance was about to explain, his phone rang. He quickly apologized to them before checking the message.

"I've arrived outside Fallarbor Gym."

"The key person has arrived," Terrance said, glancing at his phone.

Laika and the other interviewer were completely confused, but they still followed Terrance outside.

"The person is a friend of mine—a member of a well-known ecological research team in the Kalos region. A year ago, she had already become a core member of that team. Over her four years as a researcher, she has solved countless ecological challenges in Kalos. She is now highly regarded in the field of ecological research and is considered a once-in-a-decade genius."

Laika and the other interviewer was inwardly shocked.

A core member of the Kalos region's ecological research team?

The Kalos region had undergone modernization at an incredibly rapid pace, but the downside was that its ecosystem had suffered severe damage.

Researchers specializing in ecology from that mainland were practically elites in their field.

"Could he have invited a professional researcher to lead the team?" Laika suddenly realized. No wonder Terrance was so determined. If an outstanding ecological researcher were to take charge of the team, they could effectively prevent any damage to Fallarbor Woods' ecosystem. In that case, there would also be enough time and hands-on experience for these rookies to grow, ultimately ensuring that the development of Fallarbor Woods would be carried out to perfection.

As the three of them arrived outside the Gym, a wandering girl approached them.

Upon seeing her, Terrance smiled and extended his hand. "It's been four years, such a long time."

"Has it really been that long?" The girl smiled slightly, revealing her face from beneath her hat as she looked at the three of them.

Laika and the other interviewer were once again taken aback. Even though they had mentally prepared themselves after hearing she was Terrance's friend, they were still surprised when they actually saw her.

A researcher this young, not only a core member of Kalos' ecological research team but also seemingly around the same age as Terrance?

And... even though her outfit was different, that face and hair color—there was no way Laika wouldn't recognize her!

"Let me introduce you," Terrance said. "This is June Joy."

June was dressed in casual attire. Her fair skin looked somewhat pale, and her pink hair was tucked beneath her hat. Looking at the two interviewers, a slight blush tinged her cheeks as she greeted them with a smile. "Hello, I'm June Joy."

A day earlier, when Terrance had contacted Mossdeep University, he had learned from Master Victor that June had recently returned to the Hoenn region.

After solving another ecological problem in a part of Kalos, June had felt that she had reached a bottleneck. She had planned to return to Hoenn for further studies. During this time, she learned about the difficulties Terrance was facing and proactively offered to help. She even decided to personally select the development team for him and design a comprehensive development plan for Fallarbor Woods.
