Elves: Goal, help Pokémon fulfill their wishes

"I came to you this time for something else."

After testing Meowth's loyalty and arousing its fighting spirit with just a few words, the thoughtful Sakaki did not sit down again. Instead, he pushed away the chair and turned his back in front of the camera, leaving the Rocket Team trio with an unfathomable back.

It can be said that he behaves like a gangster.

"It just so happens that you are also on Cat Island..."

Are they going to assign us a new mission? This thought occurred to the three members of Team Rocket at the same time.

"We will do whatever it takes to serve the boss!" Musashi was the first to react.

She immediately placed her right fist across her chest and spoke in a clear voice with a firm look.

Kojiro and Meowth followed suit, expressing their loyalty and vowing to complete all tasks assigned by the boss.

Sakaki seemed to sneer: "Your spirit and momentum are very good. It would be great if the results could be as impressive as this."

"Let me make this short," he took out a metal pocket watch from his pocket and seemed to check the time. "You should have seen the rare Pokémon Zeraora that has been very popular in the competition these past two days, right?"

"Uh..." The three members of Team Rocket hesitantly glanced at Liang Yin, who was not noticed by Boss Sakaki because he was standing in the back. The latter tilted his head and spread his hands, "Yes, boss, we have seen the Pokémon named Zeraora. May I ask what does this have to do with our...mission?"

They were more worried that their boss Sakaki would say something like "Catch that Zeraora for me", and the scene would become a little awkward - after all, Liang Yin had declared that he wanted to join Team Rocket, so now he was eyeing his Pokémon, which was more or less not very fair from a common sense point of view.

"Zeraora is not a rare Pokémon in the ordinary sense. Judging from today's match, it is very powerful," Sakaki, who was still with his back to the opponent, said to himself, "and the trainer who can master it, the young man named Liang Yin, is also no ordinary person."

Liang Yin: “…” If this is an RPG game, does this mean that he and Zeraora have achieved the hidden achievement [Sakaki’s Approval]?

"So, boss, what do you want?" Musashi swallowed and rubbed his fingers nervously.

"I know your strength," Sakaki said as he turned around, "so I won't assign you a difficult task. How about this, you go get close to that guy named Liang Yin and investigate his background..."

Then the voice stopped abruptly because he saw Liang Yin, whom he mentioned, and Zeraora standing beside him.

"..." Sakaki was silent for a few seconds, as if he was confirming whether his face was still in the blind spot of the lighting and whether the voice changer was operating normally.

Then the communication was cut off, leaving a projection screen covered with snowflakes.

……

"Do you want to join Team Rocket?" Sakaki, who was contacted again, was surprised by Liang Yin's request.

He asked the Rocket trio to leave, saying that he had something to discuss with Liang Yin alone.

After the "troublemaker" left, he tapped the table rhythmically with his fingers and asked in a deep voice, "I want to hear the reason."

"Because Team Rocket wants to conquer the world," Liang Yin answered forcefully, "I have traveled to many regions and learned about many evil organizations. But the goals set by those guys are too hard to describe - either they want to reclaim land from the sea, or they want to cause a super flood; either they want to destroy all human beings and start all over again, or they want to deprive human beings of their emotions and create a perfect world without joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness; even worse, there are those who are so petty that they don't allow others to have Pokémon or something..."

"In the end, I found that only the Rockets in the Kanto region had goals that were ambitious enough and realistic enough to suit me."

Since Sakaki's face was obscured by the shadow, his facial expression could not be observed, so it was difficult to guess whether he believed Liang Yin's words or not.

"What else?" he asked again, in a very calm tone, "There should be more reasons than these, right?"

Liang Yin chuckled, "Also, the Rockets are different from other small companies. They are a large cross-regional company that provides members with very comprehensive social benefits. I heard that when you officially join the team, you will be given a large signing bonus and joining bonus. In addition to the salary, the headquarters will also provide various resources in a friendly manner. There are even team-building activities such as tea parties and friendship conferences every year... With so much competition now, where can you find a job with such good pay!"

Sakaki: "..."

Thinking of his old friend Merdan, and the fact that Liang Yin and Merdan seemed to know each other, he suddenly felt that this extremely materialistic reason was much more credible than the first one.

"Even if there is another purpose, so what?"

Sakaki chuckled inwardly, he wasn't the kind of "weakling" who would be restrained by suspicion.

His "way of governing people" does not care about "closeness or distance" or "being close to the wise and away from the flatterers". As long as it is helpful in achieving the goal, it can be used and is the "fuel" to send the "rocket" into space.

Even if the other party is a spy sent by the alliance, as long as he has the strength, can be obedient on the surface, and can add "fuel" to the "rocket", it will be fine.

He also has absolute confidence that he can control the people under him - after all, if he doesn't even have this much magnanimity, how can he conquer the world? Control the world?

Liang Yin also understood Sakaki's character well, which is why he asked him to join Team Rocket.

"If you want to join Team Rocket so badly, why don't you contact our recruiters? In the Kanto region, we have a special personnel department to handle this kind of thing," Sakaki rubbed the head of the cat boss who came over, "but instead followed these three guys?"

"It's better to hire directly from the boss than to talk to the HR in the personnel department," Liang Yinjiang blurted out his many years of experience as an office worker in the virtual world without thinking, "Wouldn't this just connect directly with the boss?"

Sakaki raised his eyebrows. This was the first time he had heard of this "theory" and he commented, "Interesting."

But what he wanted to know more was why Liang Yin knew that the Rockets trio had the authority to connect directly to him.

"So, boss, what do you think of me?" Liang Yin leaned in front of the screen. "My strength should meet the requirements, right?"

"More than enough. Then Liang Yin, I agree that you can join Team Rocket," Sakaki finally stopped tapping the table and gave his final answer, "Welcome to join Team Rocket and join us in our great cause of conquering the world."

"As for the job arrangement," he stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "then..."
