Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

In the underground hall, a gray-haired man was waiting there.

"Dr. Fuji, the special envoy from Rainbow City has arrived." After briefly introducing Yang Ming's identity, the researcher bowed and left.

Dr. Fuji? Yang Ming's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. In his memory, Dr. Fuji was the scientist who created Mewtwo in the anime version, while in the game and the special edition, it was Old Man Fuji and Xia Bo who created Mewtwo on Red Lotus Island.

"Led by Dr. Fuji, the research location is Red Lotus Island. It seems that this world view integrates the settings of animation, games and special episodes." Yang Ming thought to himself.

"You're here much later than scheduled. Where are the things?" Dr. Fuji asked straight to the point without any polite words.

"All the things are here," Yang Ming handed him the suitcase. "Compared to this, I'm a little tired now. Can you arrange a room for me?"

Dr. Fuji checked the suitcase and said absentmindedly, "That's fine, but we don't have any entertainment facilities or training equipment here. I think you'll have to suffer for the next few days."

"It doesn't matter, just give me a clean room where I can take a shower."

Then, Dr. Fuji clapped his hands, and a young assistant took Yang Ming to the rest area.

After Yang Ming left, Dr. Fuji pressed a hidden button in the room, and a secret door appeared in front of him.

This is an extremely large laboratory, with various instruments of different sizes and shapes placed inside, which are closely arranged together, as if forming a technological maze. Countless researchers walk through the laboratory, conducting experiments day and night, and from time to time, a few of them walk to the center of the laboratory with stacks of information.

In the center of the laboratory, a bald man wearing sunglasses and a white coat had just finished listening to the report of his researcher. When he saw Dr. Fuji coming in, the bald man hurried to greet him.

"Old buddy, has the stuff been delivered?"

Dr. Fuji nodded. "I checked. No one has touched the mechanism on the suitcase."

After that, he opened the suitcase, threw aside the daily items used to conceal his identity, and began to fumble inside the suitcase. Sure enough, he found a hidden secret lock.

The Rockets' suitcases are designed with double-layer secret compartments and special secret locks to prevent the secrets inside from being discovered.

Dr. Fuji entered the password skillfully. Soon, the secret compartment inside the suitcase was opened. Inside the secret compartment, there was a small petri dish and several pages of research reports.

"This is what we need!" Dr. Fuji flipped through the research report, his eyes becoming more and more fiery, "With this, the progress of the experiment will be greatly accelerated!"

"Yes, with this new Pokémon gene, I believe the day when we can artificially create Pokémon will not be too far away," the bald man nodded. "Then again, the person who delivered these things is quite capable. Facing so many robbers, even I, Xia Bo, might not have been able to do it when I was young."

This elderly bald man is the master of the Red Lotus Gym and the director of the Red Lotus Research Institute - Xia Bo.

"Brother, I don't understand your trainer stuff. I just know that these data are crucial to our future research." Dr. Fuji obviously had no interest in trainer affairs. He picked up the data and petri dishes, ready to concentrate on the research.

"Old buddy, I have something to say," Xia Bo and Dr. Fuji walked side by side and asked tentatively, "We are willing to cooperate with Team Rocket in order to study artificial Pokémon. Is it really worth it?"

"And right now, Team Rocket's power has been dealt a heavy blow. Wouldn't it be better for us to take advantage of the opportunity to get out?"

"Escape? Don't forget, brother. You and I have invested too much energy in this research. If we escape now, it means all our efforts will be wasted." Dr. Fuji shook his head. "I would rather die in the hands of the Alliance than to see my own 'child' being born with my own eyes!"

Looking at Dr. Fuji's receding figure, Xia Bo had a complicated expression on his face. He knew the obsession of his old friend and understood why he was unwilling to give up.

Fuji's daughter died in his early years. Because he missed his daughter, Fuji devoted the rest of his life to cloning-related research, trying to "resurrect" his daughter. As his best friend, Xia Bo also made a big contribution to this research.

Finally, the hard work paid off. In a tropical rain forest, they found traces of the legendary Pokémon, Mew. This led to a huge breakthrough in their research, because it was entirely possible to clone an identical human being using Mew's genes.

However, their idea was rejected by the Alliance on the grounds that such cloning experiments were unethical. The Alliance not only stopped their plan, but also stopped all their research plans.

This caused their research to come to a standstill. Just when they were in despair, Sakaki from Team Rocket found them and was willing to provide his own support as well as human and material resources for their research, which made the two overjoyed.

Of course, Sakaki's support was not unconditional. In exchange, Sakaki asked them to use Mew's genes to create an extremely powerful Pokémon.

Xia Bo was a little hesitant about this request, but Fuji agreed without hesitation. After decades of pain from losing his daughter, Fuji's obsession has changed from "resurrecting his daughter" at the beginning to "creating a life with his daughter's genes."

Even if this life is destined to become a combat weapon, as long as it still contains some of his daughter's genes in its body, Fuji will create it without hesitation.

Recalling the past few years, Xia Bo couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Is Fuji the only one who has this obsession?

As an authority on fossil restoration in the Kanto region, Xia Bo also invested a lot of time and energy in this experiment. If Fuji's obsession is to clone a "daughter", then Xia Bo's obsession is to use human technology to artificially create a new Pokémon.

After all, reviving fossil Pokémon is already a familiar task for him, but creating a completely new Pokémon is a completely unknown area for him.

Thinking of this, Xia Bo couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Indeed, cooperating with the current Rockets is undoubtedly standing on the opposite side of the alliance. But if I can see the life I created with my own eyes, what does it matter if I am executed on the spot by the alliance?"

"Old buddy, let me fight you one last time!"
