Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

"I didn't expect it to be like this..." Yang Ming sighed.

Looking back, Tokugawa tamed the most dangerous gas bomb among the original Pokémon with his perseverance. The fighting spirit he showed during the rookie assessment infected many people. Yang Ming thought that such a person should be able to achieve something even if he was not as good as himself, but he did not expect that he would end up in such a miserable state due to some unforeseen circumstances.

"I didn't expect that..." Tokugawa said with a wry smile, "The reason I joined Team Rocket was to change the situation for myself and my family, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. It's really... hehe..."

"But maybe things will turn around," Yang Ming changed the subject and said, "To be honest with you, I'm going to be promoted to a level 4 member soon, but I still lack reliable personnel. I wonder if you are interested in joining my team."

Then he gave Tokugawa a detailed introduction to his upcoming post in the Johto area.

"As promised, I have no roots in the city, so the next job may be hard. But at the same time, I will guarantee your future training expenses, so it will be much more promising to work as a handyman at the headquarters."

"Do I even need to choose? I will follow you, Boss!" After a brief moment of shock, Tokugawa accepted Yang Ming's invitation without hesitation. "In fact, as early as the newcomer assessment, I already saw that you were definitely not comparable to ordinary people. I didn't expect that you would become an elite candidate in just two months. Compared with you, I am far behind."

"Don't say that, you're just unlucky."

"Although I'm down and out, I'm still aware of the recent disturbances in the headquarters," Tokugawa continued. "Recently, the staff in the headquarters have been evacuating one after another. Obviously, there will be a war soon. If I continue to stay here as a errand boy, I'm afraid I will be in danger of death."

"Compared to this, the hardship of going to Johto is really nothing?"

"Then it's settled," Yang Ming smiled, "Let's go and have dinner first."

"What about cleaning the hallways?"

"You don't have to do it," Yang Ming laughed, "If the two level 4 members ask, let them come to me. In the next few days, you can concentrate on training Pokémon and wait for the day to go to Johto."

After that, the two of them walked towards the cafeteria arm in arm.

The appearance of Tokugawa helped Yang Ming solve a big problem.

First of all, Yang Ming is not familiar with most people in the headquarters. Now a colleague with whom he had worked before has appeared. Naturally, he is more suitable to be his deputy than those people he is not familiar with at all.

Secondly, judging from the previous assessment of new recruits, Tokugawa’s abilities are not bad and he is qualified for the position of deputy.

Thirdly, since Tokugawa and he were both members of the Rocket Team from Kanto, his position in Johto, where they were unfamiliar with the place, was highly tied to his own. Only by standing together with his superior who had the same origin as him could he have a way out. Therefore, it was unlikely that he would betray him and join those members of the Johto Rocket Team. Not to mention that his timely assistance this time had invisibly increased their loyalty.

As for the last point, it was just Yang Ming's own kindness. Yang Ming was still willing to lend a helping hand to someone who once had some friendship with him, not to mention that this help would be of great benefit to him and would not cause any harm.

Shortly after Yang Ming and the other person left, the two level four members came to the corridor and wanted to check the cleanliness of the floor.

"Why did he leave in the middle of the work? Doesn't this kid want to eat tonight?!" Looking at the mop thrown aside, one of them cursed.

"He was called away by Yang Ming," one of the female members in charge of reception answered, "I just heard their conversation. These two people should be old friends."

"Yang Ming? Who is that?" asked another level 4 member.

"He was originally from the branch, but was transferred to the headquarters last month," the female member introduced. "This person's promotion speed is very fast. When he first came, he was only a second-level member, but recently it seems that he is about to be promoted to a fourth-level member."

"And I recently saw him coming out of Lord Lambda's office. He seemed to have completed the important task of the headquarters very well."

After hearing these words, the two level 4 members' faces suddenly became uncertain, and they finally gave up on looking for trouble with Yang Ming.

After all, those who can become level four members are all smart people, and no one will offend a rising star who may become an elite in the future for a trivial matter.

"Forget it, let's find another servant..."

After deciding on the candidate for his future adjutant, Yang Ming devoted himself to training in the next few days.

"PiPi, use Jet Fire!"

Facing the steel attribute Pokémon, Foretos, simulated by the computer, Yang Ming ordered Pipi to use the newly learned jet flame without hesitation.

Flettos spun his body at high speed, trying to use his steel attribute skill, Spiral Ball, to kill Pipi. But Pipi was faster, and before he could get close to the target, the scorching flames were already rushing towards him.

Faced with Pipi's jet of flames, Forlitos, who was extremely afraid of fire attacks, had no power to fight back and was instantly turned into charcoal.

"Well done, Pipi." Yang Ming praised. During this period of time, Pipi has mastered the use of jet flames and has shown his prowess when facing those Pokémon that are weak to fire.

In addition to Pidgeot, Rattata and Bulbasaur have also learned new skills. Bulbasaur has learned an extremely powerful interference skill "Hypnotic Powder". This skill will make the Pokémon hit by the skill quickly lose the ability to counterattack, allowing it to win without fighting.

In addition, this skill can greatly increase the capture rate of wild Pokémon, which is much stronger than poison powder.

Of course, such a powerful skill also has weaknesses. For example, it will be ineffective against Pokémon with herbivorous characteristics and grass attributes, and it is also ineffective against Pokémon with dust-proof characteristics or wearing dust-proof goggles.

Of course, this is also a very powerful skill anyway, which greatly increases Yang Ming's operating space for defeating the strong with the weak in future battles.

The new skill that Rada learned is relatively ordinary. It is an enhanced version of Bite, called "Bite and Crush". In addition to being more powerful than Bite, this skill also has a certain chance of reducing defense.

Although it is far less amazing than Bulbasaur's new skills, it is still an improvement for Rattata. At least it will increase its lethality when facing ghost-attribute Pokémon.

Seeing that his three main Pokémon had made great progress, Yang Ming was undoubtedly very satisfied. He looked at the points in his hand and wondered whether he should buy new skill machines and props to continue to strengthen his lineup.
