Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Only then did Du calm down.

"During this period, you should pay attention to those young people with potential in the alliance," said Dama Lanqi. "Those old families are essentially just termites within the alliance. Only those young seedlings with a sense of justice are the hope for the future of the alliance."

Du nodded in agreement.

"By the way, give this to the little girl who saved a boatload of tourists." Damalanqi took out two gems emitting brilliant light from his pocket.

"This is... a mega evolution stone and its corresponding key stone?!" Du's expression changed. Mega evolution stones are not something that can be found everywhere even in the alliance. Only investigators with considerable qualifications and contributions can obtain them. It was unexpected that the chairman would casually give them to an elite young investigator.

"Compared to the lives she saved, the mega stone is nothing," Damalanqi said lightly, "I heard that people from the ancient family have been harassing her recently, so let's transfer her to the Kalos region. This will also allow her to get familiar with the use of mega evolution."

"In addition, we need you to go to the Vermilion Leaf Gym in person to reassure Master Ma that we will guarantee the budget for Vermilion Leaf Port in the next few years."

"Don't we need to give the Withered Leaf Gym extra rewards?" Du asked puzzledly.

Dama Lanqi shook his head. "Gym leaders are usually local forces in major cities. They are usually reluctant to get involved in the alliance's internal positions, so we just need to ensure that they don't turn to the ancient families. There is no need to support them specifically."

"Yes!" Du secretly admired and felt that the chairman's arrangement was very appropriate.

"Also, remember to find the young man who risked his life during the cruise ship hijacking, and do your best to keep him safe."

"Leave it to me." In fact, Du Ye had a liking for this unknown young man, An Zi. Even without Damalanqi's instructions, he would have done it.

"If possible, recruit him into the alliance. He is a rare talent," Dama Lanqi said, then changed the subject, "I remember you have a sister who is the gym leader in Yanmo City, right?"

"My cousin, named Xiaochun. I wonder why the chairman suddenly mentioned her?"

"If we can really recruit that young man into the alliance, Xiaochun would be very suitable to be his master," Dama Lanqi smiled. "Of course, this is just my personal opinion. The specific decision will depend on Xiaochun's own opinion."

"This... isn't appropriate, is it?" Du showed a strange expression, "My cousin's personality is too arrogant. I'm afraid she is not suitable to be someone else's teacher."

"A quasi-king in his early twenties does have the capital to be arrogant. Well, let's not talk about this. After all, we haven't even found this young man yet. These are just the one-sided thoughts of an old man like me."

Then, the two discussed some other topics, and Du said goodbye and left.

Shortly after Du left, Dama Lanqi looked at the rising sun from the east and the scattered residents who came out for morning exercises, and murmured, "I have to listen to my subordinates' work reports during my vacation. This job of alliance chairman is really not easy."

After saying that, he returned to the house. After a while, a little old man with a completely different appearance came out of the house. It was the old man Yang Ming met on the cruise ship.

Previously on the Saint Anno, he relied on this disguise technique to deceive the people in the navy fleet.

"I have already made my move. The future direction of this chess game will depend on the performance of Team Rocket and the ancient family."

…………

Of course, Yang Ming didn't know that he had become the focus of competition among the major factions of the alliance. When the cruise ship hijacking incident had passed, Yang Ming boarded the underground research institute's ship and prepared to return to the headquarters to report.

Due to the cruise ship hijacking incident, the alliance's control over the sea has become more stringent, but fortunately, the ship that Yang Ming was on was not subject to strict inspection along the way.

"The ship of the Red Lotus Gym? No wonder the people in the Alliance turned a blind eye to this ship." Yang Ming looked at the emblem of the Red Lotus Gym on the ship, thoughtfully.

At the same time, he also confirmed that the Crimson Gym must have some kind of cooperation with Team Rocket.

When he successfully returned to the headquarters, Yang Ming found that the headquarters was much quieter. Not only were there fewer people, but even some equipment was missing.

Moreover, those who disappeared were basically some senior members.

This made Yang Ming feel that a storm was about to come.

"I have received the report from Honglian Island. You did a great job!"

Lambda highly praised Yang Ming's performance in this mission.

"When I heard the news that the cruise ship was hijacked, I thought the mission was over. It was thanks to your ability that I was able to turn the tide and save my year-end bonus."

Huh? Year-end bonus? Do you cadres care about this kind of thing? Yang Ming complained in his heart.

"Anyway, you completed your mission very well this time. We will finalize your promotion and assign you a new position in a few days."

Yang Ming's mind moved. If this promotion was successful, he would become a level four member.

In the Rockets' hierarchy, levels four and five are two key dividing lines.

Becoming a level 4 member means that you have become an elite candidate in the organization, starting to break away from the status of a grassroots member and begin to enjoy some benefits.

In addition, after becoming a level 4 member, the organization will issue a special ID card, which is so real that it can completely get rid of the "illegal" status and become a glamorous trainer. Even if you appear in front of gym leaders and league investigators in a swaggering manner, there will be no problem, and you can even challenge the conferences held by the league.

Level five members are even more amazing. Becoming a level five member means that you have become an elite trainer and are considered "elite combat force" in the organization. Such members are either sent to various branches to serve as branch heads, or enjoy key training treatment at the headquarters.

When he thought about getting rid of his illegal household status, Yang Ming felt that his efforts over the past three months were meaningful.

"By the way, we plan to transfer you to Chengdu. Do you have any objection?" Lambda changed his previous slick attitude and said seriously.

"I have to tell you a little news. The current situation in Kanto is very serious. Whether for the sake of the organization or for your own consideration, I hope you can accept this transfer order."

"I agree with the organization's arrangement for me." Without any hesitation, Yang Ming accepted the transfer order.

Yang Ming is not a person who is uninformed. Through the extensive publicity from the league's major media outlets, Yang Ming has already determined that the league is going to take heavy measures against the Rockets.

Looking at the deserted headquarters, Yang Ming also confirmed that this time the Rockets intended to temporarily avoid the limelight and withdraw their elite forces from Kanto.

In this case, leaving Kanto would be of great benefit to him.
