Early in the morning, in Saffron City, in a high-rise building that was still intact, Eddie woke up early as usual.
He had just gotten up and subconsciously wanted to stretch, but then he found that he couldn't.
There were two reasons. The first was that he was still in a state of exhaustion. After a night's rest, he was much better than yesterday, but he was still quite tired. Stretching was considered a relatively strenuous movement, so it was normal that he couldn't manage it.
This was the first reason. As for the second reason—
His arms were being pinned down.
On his left was Misty, and on his right was Erika.
Being in such a restricted position, it was naturally impossible to stretch.
"Last night was really something, but unfortunately, I didn't have the strength to take charge last night, so I could only be passive."
Last night, the three girls came in one by one...
[Content censored for obvious reasons]
The memories ended there. After Eddie pondered for a while, he said silently to himself:
"Next time, I want to be the one who takes the initiative."
A few days later, Eddie's exhaustion finally passed. Although he hadn't fully recovered to the point where he could battle, he could do other things.
In order to recuperate better, he accepted Erika's suggestion and prepared to leave Saffron City temporarily to rest in other cities, leaving the final cleanup work here to the Gym Leaders.
Before leaving Saffron City, Eddie secretly went to the Saffron City Gym to observe Sabrina's situation and see how the Alliance was handling it.
Over the past few days, Eddie had made suggestions to the Alliance. As expected, the Alliance found this proposal ingenious and immediately adopted this approach.
Today was the day the Alliance would officially settle Sabrina's situation.
Since Eddie was still a little worried, he secretly came over to take a look before leaving.
The result was very good. Nothing dramatic happened, and the Alliance was completely professional. They reached a settlement with Sabrina based on the conditions Eddie had originally promised her.
Sabrina would continue to serve as the Gym Leader of Saffron City and would do her best to carry out the subsequent reconstruction work. Her freedom would be restricted for a certain period of time, and she would be subject to the Alliance's surveillance and supervision. At the same time, the disaster caused by Team Rocket would exclude Sabrina's name from the list of criminals, and they would try to prevent the news from spreading.
Just as the easiest way to gain official recognition is to rebel and then accept amnesty, when half of the Gym Leaders in the Kanto Region had rebelled, the Alliance had to use this conciliatory approach to maintain stability. Otherwise, even the Alliance itself wouldn't be able to explain why so many Gym Leaders had rebelled against the Alliance at the same time.
Therefore, Eddie's suggestion had truly come at the perfect time. The Alliance had already classified Eddie as having the 'highest authority among non-Alliance personnel.' They intended to use this to win over Eddie, and this move also greatly increased Eddie's status in the Pokémon world.
Eddie was relieved to see that Sabrina was fine. Sabrina was at her weakest now. Since Saffron City had been destroyed, the Pokémon Center was working frantically to rescue those Pokémon on the verge of death. Naturally, they wouldn't give priority to healing Sabrina's Pokémon. Moreover, Sabrina was still a Team Rocket member. Before the Alliance succeeded in recruiting her, no one would provide treatment for her Pokémon.
Therefore, all of Sabrina's Pokémon had almost no battle capability. If the Alliance wanted to attack her, Sabrina could only flee for her life.
Fortunately, the Alliance didn't do that. They reconciled as they said they would. After recruiting her, they handed over the reconstruction of Saffron City to Sabrina, left behind a symbolic supervisor, and the others departed.
Eddie developed a more favorable impression of the Alliance. Unlike typical political organizations, the Alliance was more like a public service organization. It was precisely because of the Alliance's fairness and justice that it became the legitimate ruler in this world where one person could form an army and governing was very difficult.
Seeing that Sabrina's situation was perfectly resolved, Eddie was very satisfied and relieved, and immediately planned to leave Saffron City.
However, Sabrina seemed to have sensed Eddie's presence. As perceptive as she was, she immediately figured out Eddie's intention. Although she showed no expression on her face, she was very happy deep down in her heart.
If there hadn't been a supervisor standing nearby, Sabrina probably would have run over to Eddie, who was hiding in the shadows, and given him a kiss.
Although she couldn't give him a kiss, Sabrina still had a way to express her feelings.
So, she secretly used Psychic to send a badge and a piece of paper to Eddie where no one could see.
"The Gym Badge and a note? Sabrina is so thoughtful."
Eddie accepted the badge and opened the piece of paper.
There was only one sentence written on it:
"See you next time"
