[Champion Leon: They actually interviewed Elite Four Flint? I thought Flint would beat up the Aether Foundation's reporter and throw them out!]
[Gym Leader Crasher: Haven't watched the video yet, leaving a mark first, looking forward to Flint blowing up.]
[Enthusiastic Netizen from Aurient: The Aether Foundation still has the nerve to post a video, huh? Guess they've never been scolded before?]
Fans of Professor Rowan quickly flooded into the comment section. Some people even started flaming Flint without watching anything.
Almost everyone thought that hot-tempered Flint would never give the Aether Foundation people a good look.
Suddenly, an eye-catching comment appeared in the comments.
[Random 1: What the hell, did Elite Four Flint take dirty money or something?]
After seeing this comment, everyone felt their heart skip a beat. They quickly scrolled up and opened the video.
The next moment, everyone was stunned. A barrage of comments instantly filled the screen.
[What the hell, is Elite Four Flint crazy?]
[Damn, how can Elite Four Flint say something like that, protecting the winner? Might as well say he's escorting the Aether Foundation!]
[It's over, it's over, I can already see Elite Four Lucian's pale face. Looks like Flint really said something wrong this time.]
[Brothers don't panic, even if he said something wrong, it won't stop Elite Four Flint from making a move after the Aether Foundation wins.]
Right after this was posted, a string of question marks took over the whole screen.
[Dude, you think an Elite Four's words are nonsense?]
[Even if Sinnoh really gave up this research result, they would never let an Elite Four go back on their word.]
[It's over, it's over, Elite Four Flint must have been taken out of context. I knew his brain didn't work well...]
"What the hell! Saying my brain doesn't work?"
Flint, who was squatting on the steps watching the video, gritted his teeth hard. He wanted to tap on that barrage to see who was insulting him, but the screen was refreshing too fast. He couldn't tap anything.
Flint could only secretly curl his lip, 'Just wait until Axel comes out with Faba, then you'll all see how smart I am!'
He casually registered a small alt account and posted a comment.
[Four More Leaf: You're all saying Flint is wrong, but I feel like Flint is actually the smartest one; he's just hiding his brilliance!]
[Look carefully at the ice crystals on the ground, don't they look like they were made by Axel's Glastrier?]
[As long as Axel steps in, the Aether Foundation's little trashlings are nothing~]
After typing this, Flint was afraid his comment would get drowned out, so he even boosted it a bit.
Soon, the comment was pinned, stirring up another new wave of discussion.
[Pikachu Moe Moe: The Axel the poster mentioned, is he the one who saved Sinnoh? He also understands the mind domain?]
[Electric Mouse Is Terrifying: The person above, I remember Axel seems to have a really strong Gardevoir, and that species seems to be very good at the mind domain?]
[Persuading People to Study Medicine Will Be Struck by Lightning: I don't think there's much hope... I'm a psychology PhD myself, so I've been following this thing closely.]
[Based on the videos released in the past few days, the mind domain also has many types of power.]
[For example destruction, infection, insight, and so on...]
[Psychic communication is also part of the mind domain, but it's more about insight. It has almost no control.]
[If you want to influence an Aether Foundation member inside the giant dome and make him admit defeat, that's extremely hard.]
Seeing this comment, the female reporter who had just posted the video in the venue put down her phone and smiled softly.
Just as the comment said, although Axel had already arrived at the scene, so what?
Gardevoir's mental power was indeed strong, but with that species' indifferent temperament, how could there be an individual who mastered offensive mind powers?
This round was stable.
"Anna, how's the public opinion job going?", A person also wearing a research coat sat down beside the female reporter, rubbing his brow in frustration.
He was one of the people in charge of the Aether Foundation's mind-power project, and he had also been responsible for many similar projects.
In past missions, he had always easily taken away the other party's research data.
But this time, facing the giant entity that was the Sinnoh League, he still couldn't help feeling nervous.
Everything he was doing was within the rules, the problem was worrying the other side wouldn't follow the rules.
With the Sinnoh League's status, if an Elite Four didn't like what he saw and "accidentally" lost control on the way back and killed them, they truly would have nowhere to cry.
"Don't worry, Leader, everything is already done!"
Anna opened the post on her phone and placed it in front of the man, explaining, "Look, I went to interview Flint just like you said. I originally wanted to guide him into saying he wouldn't make a move."
"But before I even said anything, this guy already blurted out this chuunibyou declaration."
After watching the video, the man's eyes instantly lit up.
"Impressive, Anna!"
The man was excited. He originally just wanted Anna to provoke Flint a little so that under moral pressure he wouldn't make a move.
But he never expected Flint to be even more chuunibyou than he imagined, actually saying he would protect the winner.
And after Anna posted the video, the view count quickly broke ten million. Flint couldn't regret it even if he wanted to.
'Doesn't this mean that we, the Aether Foundation, have easily gained Flint as a bodyguard?'
"Anna, well done, I'll give you a bonus after we get back!"
The man patted the female reporter on the shoulder and excitedly walked toward the giant dome in the center of the venue.
Before doing this research, they had already gathered a group of Pokémon skilled in mental attacks.
This battle had been planned for a long time; it was an important step for Lusamine to contact Necrozma and reopen the Ultra Wormhole.
In other words, they had been able to win this battle long ago. The only thing they feared was Flint, this unstable factor.
Now that Flint was restrained by public opinion, it was time to end the battle.
He patted one person's shoulder, the corner of his mouth lifting into a mocking smile.
"Take out the Poké Balls and let the boys switch into the Malamar squad and the Metagross squad."
"And release the president's holy Pokémon. Let's take this battle in one go!"
Seeing the reaction on the field, Axel helplessly glanced at the Glastrier blocking the door.
["Now you can let me out, right?"]
"I really don't know who you learned this from. Zhao Yun and I don't like acting cool, so how did you end up like this."
Glastrier lifted its head slightly and flicked its forelock.
'That's because you two don't know the joy of acting cool, okay?'
'Follow the great me, let's go!'
