Chapter 647 - Something Fishy
As they were about to reach the 55th floor the elevator suddenly jerked and stopped, the main lights went away and the backup lights turned on.
William "Shit, another power outage, something is definitely going on in the city"
William cursed.
Julian, on the other hand, felt relieved as the power went out or he would have had to listen to William taking for hours.
Julian quickly decided to pin the current topic so that William won't go back to his useless talking.
Julian "Does this happen every time?"
He asked.
William "The power cuts? No, this started to happen recently, a power outage has never occurred in Castelia city for over 50 years, how could it suddenly happen now, something is definitely fishy"
William said frowning.
Julian "Why do you think so, maybe something might have happened to the power generator"
He said.
William "No, that is not possible, the governor improved the power generator to a better one a year ago, it was working very good, there is no way it should stop working, and the governor also seems to be hiding something, not telling the public the real reason behind these outages"
William said.
Julian "Maybe it is regarding the safety of the city and its citizens, sometimes it better to hide things even if it causes distress"
Julian said.
He knows how harsh public opinions can be, sometimes they are right sometimes they are wrong, that is why Julian never believes anything until and unless there are facts and proof related to the subject.
As Julian and William discussed about the power outage the elevator started to move again, not from the main output but from the backup, massive companies like this have backup generators that will run for a few hours before finally dying.
Soon they reached William's office and took their seat, first they talked about normal stuff then discussed business, since they have such big companies it was wise to invest in each other, after talking for quite a long time Julian and William finally came to an agreement. The rest will be handled by Jimi and other members of his corporation.
Now that this was done, William decided to give Julian a tour around the other floors in the company, Julian missed quite a lot of floor as William brought him directly to the top.
Julian agreed to William's offer and went with him, William then showed Julian everything that is made in his company, from GPS devices to pokeballs to special training devices that helps a pokemon and trainer learn and coordinate better.
Julian also saw the making of Great Balls and Ultra Balls, these balls are made in the top floors of the building where the security is very high and even the workers working here are powerful pokemon trainers, no one would dare to try and rob them.
It would be suicidal, seeing this Julian was impressed, this was indeed a unique way to protect their tech, even if an elite four member came to rob them they would still get blasted by these trainers who work here, an elite four can maybe take on five to six of them but the workers who work here are above hundred.
Even Julian would have a tough time bringing them all down with Garchomp and Victini unless they go full berserk and release one more after the other completely destroying the company along with all the worker's things would no be easy.
As Julian looked at a machine which was throwing out finished Ultra Balls it suddenly stopped and every light in the floor went blank, the floor became very dark and the workers had to use torches from their phones to light it up.
William "Shit the backup power must have been drained completely"
William crushed again.
William "If this continues we will suffer a massive loss"
Worried about the future of the company William is a little panicked, Julian also frowned, last time he witnessed this the power outage was not for this long, it has already been an hour and the power is not back.
If this continues the people might become a little frisky and riots may occur as their daily lives have been compromised, today's world is so dependent on electricity that a person born and raised up in a city will not be able to survive on their own in a jungle, everything they used needed electricity.
Trainers were a little ok with this because they spend most of the time outdoors but the ones who live in the city and work daily from their houses and office are the ones who will suffer the most.
Julian decided that he should look into this matter, if it is natural he will let it be and if something is really fishy he has to get involved, he has already met Team Plasma and Team Rocket is also up to no good.
Julian might ignore Team Rocket but Team Plasma felt a little off to him so he has been keeping a close eye on them, his little faction is already up to the task to collect all the information that Julian needs.
