Chapter 30 - Investigation of Kimi Jenny

The surveyor ran out of the door and released a Pokémon, he jumped on top of it then disappeared off into the distance.

He later arrived within the Viridian Forest on the back of a Tauros as the Tauros ran from each area after the surveyor had finished inspecting the area and documenting the data collected.

A happy smile appeared on his face as his devices picked up the energy levels of the surrounding Pokémon along with the number of life signs in each location. "Ah.. this is a more suitable environment for people to train in with less dangers. The territories have become more balanced and so long as they do not stray onto the main path, most people can pass through without being attacked by wild Pokémon. Now for the evaluation after calculating…"

He looked lost in thought as he added up the differences between what they had been previously and what it was like in the present then he wrote his evaluation. "Perfect. There is no other way to describe this. This is perfect work and it has been done by a new bounty hunter who has only just come of age not too long ago. I look forward to her future growth."

He was very excited that a new trainer had been able to control the Viridian Forest perfectly to suit the needs of the higher ups so much so that the task would not need to be reissued for a while.

He did not know that Kimi had carried out such tasks on many routes and had become used to handling what others in her department deemed as 'lower tasks'.

Usually those that were being punished, being suppressed, a lack of support or a trainee who got assigned to do the tasks that bounty hunters took care of if the police department had been told by the higher ups of the league to handle it.

Such cases were usually rare but they were mainly issued to the department when the situation could no longer be controlled with bounty hunters or mercenaries.

Viridian Forest was one location she had experience with controlling but she usually did it with a team of people because her own Pokémon line up was a lot smaller and weaker back then.

Through the experiences and repetition, it was easy for her to know the layout of the forest and what the higher ups in the league had expected for each areas population so she knew when to stop hunting down certain groups before moving onto the next area.

That was during her earlier years too so she did not know how to use aura so there was a huge difference between the present her and the her of the previous life when facing the same mission.

The surveyor put away the devices and his findings then patted Tauros which made it move once again as it ran back towards Pewder City.

Meanwhile in Viridian City, Officer Jenny was talking to someone who had just contacted her from Pewder City which seemed to be urgent because of the person's hurried voice. "So we have a person here who has come in to hand in her task but.. for a new hunter this is quite a big achievement. Her name is Kimi Jenny and I believe that she just came from your city. I was wondering if you have any information on her since I have been told to contact you about her."

Officer Jenny let out a "Tsk" suddenly then answered. "So that girl has already left. It is no wonder I could not find her and have been unable to contact her. That girl is a talent and is very sharp so I value her highly so please treat her well while she is in Pewder City. By the way tell her to respond to the group messages."

Just as the call had been cut off after she provided the information she had on Kimi, Officer Jenny let out a sigh. "We let a talent slip through our fingers this time. If what they said is true then her rate of growth is excellent and would be supported within the family if she decided to participate in the family duties."

She was impressed that Kimi had grown and accomplished what she had in a short time but Officer Jenny was regretful that she had failed to recruit Kimi before she had left.

If a recommendation was made to the Jenny family by her and Kimi's talents were noticed then not only would Kimi gain more support from the family but she would be rewarded too because she was the one that discovered a talent within the family.

Although Kimi was from a lesser branch and was ignored or looked down by those at the top, if her potential was high enough then she would be able go gain a decent position within the family.

However she did not know that Kimi had no intentions of becoming the Jenny families dog that they could order around and put on show when they felt like it.

Kimi would still be looked down upon within the family and in the police department with her talents because she would be turned into a typical example of a person being sponsored by a wealthy family.

There would be many that would mock her as a sponsored child which only got to where she was because of the families support and she could only be used to carry out the families will and make them look good to pay back their benevolence.

Kimi did not wish to be known as one of the Jenny families latest charity cases and have her own efforts and abilities being denied so her connections with them would only go so far.

If they wanted to hire her then they had to pay up or give her something of value to make her want to aid them in any way.

While many Officer Jennys looked kind and had a strong sense of justice, those were just the everyday Jennys which were more humble and had a more ordinary background while those near the top were more like rich and rude nobles who were fighting among themselves to gain more power, fame and influence.

Kimi had the chance to meet a couple of them that sat in high places and her last mission had been handled by one of them which showed that they prioritised their own benefits and the success of the task over their subordinates.

That person was probably busy enjoying the benefits of the data Kimi had collected and left behind in a safe place before she died while feeling no guilt after using her like they did.

Officer Jenny went back to work with a sad look on her face after missing out on what she believed was a golden opportunity for Kimi and herself but she revealed a small smile as she looked at the message which popped up as a response to one she left a couple of days ago. "Cheeky brat."

A little earlier, Kimi sat in the building while waiting for the surveyor to return and had taken out her laptop then connected to the forums and check her messages.

Some were very urgent while others were about potential trading or selling of items or Pokémon so she started to update the forums and responded to each of them.

In the Jenny group chat which she had been invited to, there was a screenshot of a man which was leaving the scene of a crime and was a wanted suspect along with a request from Officer Jenny so Kimi responded to it with. [I will keep an eye out but what is in it for me if I can find them?]

A wanted poster was then sent in response with a bounty reward on it which made Kimi laugh out loud. [I will take the task but I hope you can use your connections to find me a high quality Fire Stone or someone that has one spare. I will be happy to use my reward and put some extra money towards the purchase since I know how few seem to be in circulation.]

Several responses came from different members of the chat group which were calling Kimi arrogant and greedy until one caught her attention.

The username JennyLovesJewels responded suddenly and said. [If you can do it within thirty days without anyones help then I will consider selling one of the ones in my vault to you at a discounted price. Work hard kid!]

[Wow… the rich lady has arrived to flaunt her collection of stones and jewels once more.]

[Bow down before the queen of jewels!]

[Tsk.. share some of that wealth my way please.]

The username OfficerJenny@Veridian responded later. [Wow that developed quickly. Work hard and I wish you success.]

Kimi rolled her eyes as she read the messages then quickly sent some replies before closing the laptop. 'So there are some friendly and eccentric characters in the Jenny family. I wonder where they were in my previous life? I doubt I have met anyone like that. Well.. whatever.'

The image which had been sent in the chat had been carefully looked over and it had appeared clearly when Kimi closed her eyes. 'I just have to catch you then I can achieve the first step in my plan.'

Kimi opened her eyes once more as she detected the Tauros which ran down the street with the surveyor on its back before stopping outside of the building.
