President Silph didn't doubt Luo Yuan for a second—there was simply no reason for him to lie. And if Luo Yuan was telling the truth, it could mean substantial benefits for Silph Co.

Aside from the publicity a newly appointed Elite Four member would bring, the strength that an Elite Four member could provide would be invaluable to Silph Co. at this critical time.

So, President Silph made his decision swiftly:

"Our company will support you wholeheartedly."

This support would include, but not be limited to, Silph Co.'s media outlets bolstering Luo Yuan's public image, utilizing the company's influence across Kanto, and offering full logistical backing for Luo Yuan's Pokémon.

After all, everyone knew that raising Pokémon could be a costly endeavor.

With Silph Co.'s resources behind him, Luo Yuan's Pokémon would have access to top-tier food, TMs for advanced moves, and any necessary evolution stones—all on the company's dime.

After discussing the specifics with President Silph, Luo Yuan prepared to head to the company's vault to select a few items.
