Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Yang Ming opened the first investigation report, which was signed by "Marbury", which seemed to be the name of the missing former station chief.

Tongshulin Investigation Report

Risk level: low

Common Pokémon: Caterpillar, Metapod, Beetle, Metapod, Clownpox, Paras, and Zubat.

Special Pokémon (Note): Beedrill, Butterfree, Fiddlehead, and Eggplant.

Introduction: The Paulownia Forest is the only way for Hinoki Town to connect to Manjin City. Most of the Pokémon in the forest are weak insect-attribute Pokémon. The only ones you have to be careful of are the Beedrill and Butterfree lurking in the trees.

In addition to the Pokémon that can be found everywhere in the forest, there are also a large number of Pokémon lurking in the trees (see note). The combat power of these Pokémon is stronger than that of the Pokémon that live in the forest, but except for Beedrill and Butterfree, the rest are still not worth mentioning.

There were rumors that the rare bug-type Pokémon Heracross was hiding in the Paulownia forest, but after investigation, no one was found.

The routes in the forest are extremely complex, and the light in the forest is very dim. It is very easy to get lost without the guidance of a local in Hinoki Town. With the efforts of our members, we have now completed the mapping of all the routes in the forest.

Yang Ming flipped the page and found a very detailed map.

"This stationmaster is really thoughtful," Yang Ming exclaimed, "Just handing in this map is a great achievement."

He continued reading.

There are abundant tree fruit resources in the forest, which can be said to be inexhaustible, but you need to pay attention to the Beedrills and Butterfree on the trees when picking.

There is also a lake in the forest. It is said that some townspeople have seen Gotha Duck in the lake. This station tried to investigate, but was attacked by a swarm of giant hornets nearby, and the investigation was eventually interrupted.

Commissioned by our superiors, we are investigating the dilapidated shrine in the Paulownia forest. It is said that this is a temple dedicated to the legendary Pokémon, Celebi. However, after many investigations, we have not found anything special about this shrine, so we temporarily conclude that the shrine has no connection with Celebi.

After reading the first report, Yang Ming began to digest the important information.

The tung tree forest is rich in berries, which will be beneficial to Yang Ming in making energy blocks in the future. Moreover, the wild Pokémon in the forest are not strong, so he can let his adjutant Tokugawa be responsible for collecting berries while he can stay at home.

This is the advantage of having a younger brother. You can save yourself a lot of time by letting him handle some trivial matters.

Next is the information about Celebi.

In this world, the legendary Pokémon are like elusive dragons. It is difficult to even see them, let alone capture them.

Yang Ming had read the relevant information and knew that in this world, only the Alliance and Team Rocket were suspected of having obtained the legendary Pokémon. He was not clear about the specific situation of the Alliance, and the legendary Pokémon captured by Team Rocket should be Mew.

Since the so-called "superior" commissioned the former stationmaster to investigate, it means that Team Rocket also has intentions towards Celebi. But the question now is, what power does this so-called "superior" represent?

The former stationmaster was a native of Johto, and the superior who commissioned him was definitely not from Kanto, but a branch in Johto.

Yang Ming thought of the Rockets' branch in Manjin City.

Unlike other branches, the level of this branch is very high. Not only is the minister a level six elite member, but even the deputy minister is an elite. This is very different from those branches where the ministers are only level five.

Not only that, the head of the Manjin branch also holds great power. Not only can he directly promote low-level members within the branch, but he can also influence the budgets of surrounding branches and liaison stations. It can be said that this is the most powerful branch in Chengdu.

The reason why this branch is so unique is not only because Manguin City is the largest city in Johto, but also because the director of the Manguin branch is a loyal fan who was promoted by Bixias.

"Is it Bixias who is planning this Rabbi? Interesting."

Considering Bishaas's ambition, capturing Celebi was definitely to increase his bargaining chips for future power grabbing actions.

However, this matter had nothing to do with Yang Ming, a small webmaster. He kept this information firmly in mind and then turned to the next investigation report.

Interconnection Hole Investigation Report

Danger level: medium to high

Common Pokémon (outer layer): Rattata, Geodude, Sandshrew, Zubat, Wooper, Goldfish, and Magikarp.

Common Pokémon (depth): Rattata, Golbat, Onix, Crawl, Gigantic, Starfish, Rumblebot, Swampert, Magnarok, Scorpionfish, Lapras (note).

Introduction: The outer layer of the Interconnection Cave has long been investigated by the League and local trainers. The entire outer layer is already hung with torches for lighting, and tourists come by from time to time. Generally speaking, the outer layer is not dangerous, with only some weak Pokémon active. In addition, due to the presence of torches, there is no risk of getting lost in the outer layer of the Interconnection Cave.

On the contrary, there are a large number of powerful wild Pokémon deep in the interconnected caves. These Pokémon are extremely aggressive and often move in groups, making them very difficult to deal with.

In addition, the roads in the Deep Interconnected Caves are very complicated and densely covered with water networks, making it very easy to get lost. It is said that the Deep Interconnected Caves connect multiple locations at the same time, and they are all connected in opposite directions. If you want to thoroughly investigate the Interconnected Caves, it is recommended to send multiple members above level 4 to participate in the investigation at the same time.

Our investigation revealed that in the depths of the interconnected caves there are Pokémon such as Swamplord that lives in fresh water and Poisonous Jellyfish that live in the ocean. We suspect that somewhere in the interconnected caves is connected to a sea, but due to our limited capabilities, this speculation has not been confirmed so far.

It is said that someone once found the rare Pokémon Lapras (note) deep in the Interconnection Cave. This site once tried to find and capture it, but due to limited strength, it was obstructed by a group of wild stinging jellyfish in the cave, so it abandoned the plan.

Recently, our station has discovered a new exit of the interconnected cave, which is suspected to be connected to the mysterious ruins of Alufu. We are preparing to organize personnel to conduct an investigation, and we believe that the results of the investigation will be available soon.

Yang Ming became interested when he saw this, and couldn't wait to open the investigation report on the Alufu ruins.

However, there was no detailed information in the investigation report of the Arufu ruins, only a few brief sentences.

Recently, the investigation team organized by the stationmaster Marbury disappeared in the Interconnection Cave. After searching, the remains of the stationmaster and other team members were found at the junction of the Interconnection Cave and the Alufu ruins, and it is suspected that the investigation team has been wiped out.

The person who signed the last signature on this newspaper was the deputy station chief Ya San. It seemed that the former station chief had disappeared before he had time to write the investigation report.

"The investigation team disappeared just after they left the cave. It seems that the things in the Alufu ruins are not simple." Yang Ming's face was solemn.
