Chapter 367: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [367]
"Home visit..." Kukui echoed Luo Yuan's words, his tone carrying hesitation as he tried to dissuade him.
After all, no one could predict what might happen at Aether Paradise. If something went wrong with Luo Yuan in Alola, Kukui would have a hard time explaining it to both Johto and Lance.
Moreover, the Aether Foundation issue was Alola's own problem. Having someone like Luo Yuan step in to help might make the Alola League look incompetent.
"It's not just about the 'home visit,' actually," Luo Yuan said. "Aside from cultural exchange, I had another purpose for coming to Alola."
"Another purpose?" Kukui asked curiously.
"I received an invitation from the Aether Foundation beforehand."
Luo Yuan pulled out the invitation and showed it to Kukui.
"Silph Co.!" Kukui exclaimed, recognizing the sender's name on the invitation.
During his time training in Kanto, Kukui had learned about Silph Co., a corporate giant in the region. Their latest product, the holographic communicator, had been a massive hit in Alola.
But why had an invitation addressed to them ended up in Luo Yuan's hands?
"I'm a shareholder of Silph Co. and currently act as their spokesperson," Luo Yuan explained casually. "This is part of my duties, so I have a solid reason to visit Aether Paradise."
