Pokémon: The Climb

After the real bird left, he went straight to a room in the ship filled with various screens.

Several people wearing Team Rocket uniforms were tapping away at the keyboard.

The real bird walked to the giant screen in the middle and stood there, then said to the person next to him: "Contact me to the headquarters!"

"Yes!"

The man's fingers kept tapping on the keyboard, and soon the screen became covered with snowflakes, which gradually became clearer.

A middle-aged man who looked very stressed suddenly appeared as he sat on a chair and stroked the cat at his feet.

This person is none other than the leader of Team Rocket—Boss Sakaki!

"Chief!" Zhenniao bowed down and saluted very seriously.

"It's a real bird. What's wrong?" Sakaki asked casually.

Zhentiaohui reported: "Reporting to the leader, except for the water fleet, the major Fengyuan forces that are against us have now sent people to contact us and want to cooperate with us. They all want to use our hands to fight against the hostile forces. Among them The Shanhai Fleet is most ambitious, and they actually want to use our hands to help them replace the Water Fleet."

Sakaki smiled slightly: "Since ancient times, the alliance has been easiest to break from within. Thinking about internal strife before repelling the enemy is really a group of fools!" He looked at the real bird: "Act according to the original plan, be careful, if anything happens If you can't do anything, retreat quickly and let Lambda lead his people to the rear."

"My subordinates understand!" Zhenniao nodded, and then asked carefully: "Chief, according to the current situation, it is very likely that we will land in Fengyuan. I think if we can have more people, we can definitely defeat those seemingly inseparable groups. Hoenn’s forces will gain a foothold in Hoenn’s homeland.”

Sakaki narrowed his eyes: "The Quartz Plateau has been keeping a close eye on us recently, so there will be no more reinforcements. You just need to act according to the plan, and don't get into trouble!"

Sensing the warning in Sakaki's tone, Shinori immediately lowered his head and said, "My subordinate is talking too much, please forgive me!"

"So be it!"

After saying that, Sakaki hung up the contact.

Shinori couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then stood up slowly. Although she somewhat didn't understand the task assigned to her by Boss Sakaki, she could only continue to do it now. The temptation just now was her last effort, and it almost caused Sakaki's displeasure.

"The leader must have some considerations that I don't know about. Will the people from the Quartz Plateau take action? Or is he afraid of provoking the Fengyuan Alliance again, or..."

The real bird keeps thinking.

This mission is very critical to her, because it affects whether she can be competent as Secretary Sakaki.

Yes, her appearance here is actually a test!

Because of this, she kept trying to figure out Sakaki's thoughts. Especially the mission goal that Sakaki gave her was completely different from what she had imagined.

In this case, one mistake would lead to actions that were contrary to Sakaki's thoughts, which meant that her test failed, so she had to look more, think more, and explore more.

……

Naturally, Yang Yan knew nothing about the conversation between Shintori and Sakaki. He had now returned to his tent, sitting on a chair and staring blankly above his head.

He is also thinking.

The difference is that Shintori is thinking about Sakaki's thoughts, while Haruhiko is thinking about Shintori's thoughts.

"That woman, if my guess is correct, should be the top leader of Team Rocket's operation. The woman... Athena from 4 Generals? But that outfit doesn't look like something Athena would wear. Could it be that it's not? Someone who appeared in the anime?”

He had no idea for a moment.

But his main concern is not this, but the attitude of the Rockets.

If the bespectacled woman was not surprised by Yang Yan's appearance because of her high position, then the others acted as if they had known that Yang Yan would appear.

In other words, I have experienced similar things, so I am not surprised.

"Before, I also guessed that other forces would most likely send people to contact the Rockets. Now this guess is probably close to tenth. Moreover, the Rockets specially arranged for me here to prevent me from contacting other people. It’s like preventing me from having contact with those people.”

Even before going to sea, Takadera said that someone from other forces seemed to have come up with the idea of ​​contacting Team Rocket, so Yang Yan had already anticipated the appearance of these people.

The only thing he worried about was that the appearance of these people would cause a lot of trouble to his mission.

"What should I do next..."

……

After returning from the ship, Yang Yan returned to "house arrest" again, and this time, no one contacted him for 10 days in a row.

Yang Yan was reading a book while thinking about the possible development direction of the situation and countermeasures.

He couldn't leave the tent, and he couldn't even let his Pokémon out at will. Besides reading, he really had nothing to do.

However, this can be regarded as giving him time to consolidate his knowledge as an intermediate breeder, delve into the development of intermediate fairy energy cubes, and improve the formula of intimidation potions.

Now he has several new ideas, and he can start experimenting when he has time later.

Today is the 11th day. Yang Yan was reading at the table as usual, and suddenly someone walked in.

"My lord is looking for you, come with me!"

The tone of the visitor was very unfriendly, but Yang Yan didn't care. He packed up his things and left the tent.

This time the visitor took him not to a boat, but to an independent stone house.

As soon as he entered, he saw the bespectacled woman, the real bird, followed by another woman he had seen before.

A woman who likes to wear red clothes and bright makeup.

Although she looks beautiful, she is just covering up the traces of time left on her body. Yang Yan estimates that her actual age is probably in her thirties.

Of course, Yang Yan paid more attention to her strength than appearance.

"Si Wu, I have received information from the headquarters. You have indeed helped our Rockets in Chengdu. You have the friendship of our Rockets, so I am willing to believe you and the Shanhai Team behind you."

Yang Yan smiled slightly and bowed slightly: "That's my honor!"

The real bird still had a serious face: "Don't be too busy to be happy. Although I think so, as one of the people in charge of this operation, I must maintain a cautious attitude. The news you gave me before, I have already I sent someone to verify it and it was basically confirmed to be true.”

"This is important, but it is not that important. If you, the Shanhai Team, want to cooperate with us, you must make more practical contributions. If you want us to be your swordsmen, there is no such thing as such a good thing!" Shinotori Shouhiko He took out the document he had left behind before: "Didn't you just give us the base locations of a few water fleets? That's just right. If your Shanhai Fleet is willing to send people to eradicate these bases with us, we will believe in your Sincerity!”

Yang Yan secretly thought: This is to take advantage of Team Shanhai! Once it is revealed that Team Shanhai and Team Rocket attacked the Water Fleet together, it will be difficult for Team Shanhai to turn back. Even if Team Rocket regrets later, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for Team Shanhai and will be boycotted by all the forces in Hoenn.

This can be described as putting life and death completely in human hands.

How could Team Shanhai agree?
