[ POV Change ]

The room was silenced as the news anchor on the television spoke with a tone of excitement, "And now, ladies and gentlemen, we have a special guest joining us live from Celadon City. It's none other than the former leader of Viridian City Gym and the current Minister of Finance, Lionel Giovanni!"

Lionel Giovanni stood confidently at the podium, his piercing eyes scanning the side of the road filled with journalists eagerly awaiting his answers. His tall stature and sharp features exuded a sense of power, and his impeccably tailored suit commanded respect. The reporters varied in appearance - some were seasoned journalists with graying hair and a tired demeanor, while others were fresh-faced and eager to make a name for themselves. Each held their cameras and microphones, ready to capture every word and gesture from the enigmatic Minister.

As he adjusted the microphone, everyone fell silent, waiting in anticipation for his first words. The news anchor spoke up, "Minister Giovanni, can you give us some insight into the sudden disappearance of Erika, the beloved Gym Leader of Celadon City?"

Giovanni's face darkened as he spoke, "I am deeply troubled by the disappearance of my dear friend, Erika. She is not only a valuable member of our community but also a dear friend. That is why I have personally joined the search efforts, to bring her back safely to her family and her people."

The room erupted into applause, with reporters shouting questions all at once. Camera flashes flickered like lightning, casting shadows that danced across the walls. Lionel held up his hand, and the room fell silent once again.

"I want to assure the public that we are doing everything in our power to find her. We have all the best resources available to us, and I have personally put together a task force to investigate and search for any leads. I am confident that we will find her and bring her home safely."

The news anchor interjected, "But Minister Giovanni, there have been rumors about criminal elements being involved in her disappearance. Can you comment on that?"

Giovanni's eyes hardened, "I can confirm that we are considering all possibilities and leaving no stone unturned. But I want to emphasize that it's imperative that we work together as a community to bring her home safely. This is a time for unity and not speculation."

The room erupted into applause once again. As the clapping continued, Looker noticed that a few people in the crowd were shouting and incentivizing others to clap louder, creating a contagious group mentality. It almost seemed as if these individuals had been strategically placed by Giovanni himself to elicit such reactions to his seemingly sincere words.

'Fucking politicians...' Looker thought as he left the room, not wanting to deal with this.

"I understand that many of you have questions about my own involvement in the search, and I want to make it clear that I am fully committed to finding Erika. As the former leader of Viridian City Gym and someone who has dedicated my life to the betterment of the Kantonian community, I believe it is my duty to be a part of this effort."

The room was filled with nods of agreement, and one reporter called out, "Minister Giovanni, you have been a hero in Kanto for many years. Can you share with us what drives you to be so committed to this cause?"
