Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

A middle-aged man in a suit and tie appeared on the screen of the communicator, and behind him seemed to be a magnificent palace.

"In the end, you guys messed it up, Shui Wutong," the middle-aged man taunted. "Not only did we not find the person we were looking for, but we were also completely defeated by the enemy. We can't pay you for such a work result."

"Oh, you're blaming me?" Shui Wutong laughed in anger. "According to the original agreement, you Tianquan family members are responsible for stabilizing the alliance for us, and then we guarantee to kill the person you are looking for."

"But what happened? Not only did the Alliance's investigators sneak into the cruise ship, but even the owner of the Dead Leaf Gym came to interfere. Is this the influence of your Tianquan family in the Alliance?"

The Tianquan Family was one of the seven earliest families to join the alliance when it was first established. These seven families and their successive patriarchs were named after the Big Dipper. Each family had a huge influence in the alliance, and their family members also held important positions in the alliance.

"Well...if this is true, then it was indeed a mistake on our part," the middle-aged man's tone softened significantly.

"If you want evidence, I can give it to you now." After saying that, Shui Wutong transmitted a few unclear photos to the communicator.

These photos are from the surveillance cameras on the cruise ship. Although Yang Ming occupied the power room for a short period of time, Lobster restored the surveillance cameras shortly after he left, resulting in these unclear photos.

"Judging from the badge on her clothes, this young woman is indeed an elite investigator of the alliance," the middle-aged man nodded in acknowledgement, "It seems that we are indeed more responsible. According to the agreement, I will send you the top-secret information inside the Kaina City Shipyard."

Kaina City is the largest port city in the Hoenn region. It has the largest shipyard in all of Hoenn, and the new submarines inside are exactly the target of the water fleet.

Looking at the top-secret information sent over, Shui Wutong's face was full of excitement. But even so, he still wanted to bargain.

"It's not enough to just give the information to the shipyard in Kaina City. Don't forget, because of you, we not only lost a lot of people, but also offended Team Rocket."

"Just now, the executives of Team Rocket came to our door and killed one of our elites right under my nose. How can such a huge loss be compensated by just a piece of top-secret information?!"

At this point, Shui Wutong almost roared.

Seeing Shui Wutong's distraught look, the middle-aged man's tone became more moderate: "In this case, our Tianquan family will exert pressure within the alliance, pin the entire cruise ship hijacking incident on Team Rocket, and increase the alliance's efforts to eliminate Team Rocket, so as to relieve your worries."

"That's more like it," Shui Wutong's face lightened up a bit, and he was already very happy in his heart. "I'll give you a piece of advice for free. There is an unidentified young man on the cruise ship who is obstructing our actions. You'd better find him out."

After saying that, he hung up the communicator.

In the palace on the other end of the communicator, the middle-aged man pressed the button on the table immediately after ending the contact with the water fleet. Then, a man who looked like a secretary walked in.

"Help me find out the origins of the people in these photos." The middle-aged man threw the photos that Shui Wutong sent him to the secretary.

After the secretary left, the middle-aged man immediately contacted another person. This person was burly, wearing a mask that only covered half of his face, but wearing a Rockets uniform.

"Why do you come to disturb me in the middle of the night? What urgent matter do you have?" the burly man asked impatiently. It can be seen that his clothes were put on temporarily. The moans of several women can be vaguely heard from behind him.

"Bixias, I have some bad news to tell you," the middle-aged man said in a low voice, "Apollo's gang may have discovered our plan."

Hearing this, the burly man called Bixias suddenly became serious, "Are you serious? Do you have any evidence?"

Then, the middle-aged man told Bixias everything he had heard from Shui Wutong.

"It's nothing to me. Hijacking the cruise ship wasn't your Tianquan family's own plan. What does it have to do with me?" Bixia Si couldn't help but sneered, "You are too scared, Tianquan, as the head of a family, you shouldn't be so timid, right?"

Facing Bixias's ridicule, Tianquan didn't take it seriously. Instead, he said seriously, "Don't forget, it's only been half a day since the cruise ship was hijacked. How could those Rocket Team officials find Shui Wutong's location so accurately so quickly? The only possibility is that our cooperation was discovered by them long ago, so they set an ambush and attacked Shui Wutong early."

After listening to Tianquan's guess, the sneer on Bixias' face disappeared. He was silent for a moment and then said word by word: "Based on my understanding of Apollo, if he really understood our plan, he would not choose this time to attack the fleet. After all, rather than creating a new enemy out of thin air, it is more likely that he would deal with me directly."

"In my opinion, the reason why Apollo and his gang attacked the fleet is probably because they were planning something in the San Teanu, and your hijacking of the cruise ship accidentally interfered with their plan, which led to the gang attacking the fleet directly."

"So what exactly did they plan?" A gleam of light flashed across Tianquan's face, and he was obviously very interested in this matter.

"Humph, how would I know?" Bixias said coldly, "Apollo seems to have begun to doubt me recently, but there is no concrete evidence yet, so he has no intention of taking action against me, but he has stopped sharing intelligence with me."

"Don't disturb me from 'doing big things' unless you have something to do." After saying that, Bixias turned off the communicator. Before turning it off, you could still hear the sound of him impatiently making the big bed behind him.

"Whether it is Shui Wutong or Bixias, they are all greedy villains without exception." After turning off the communicator, Tianquan showed a look of disgust on his face.

Just then, his secretary knocked on the door and entered the room.

"Did you find out anything?"

"Reporting to the head of the family, the elite investigator in the photo is named Yin Yue, and she is a disciple of Sagittarius, the founder of the former Shuei Department of the Alliance. The identity of the young man who is her partner is unknown, and it seems that he is just an unknown trainer. The other trainers who follow his command are children of small families who happened to take the cruise ship. They seem to be just tourists."
