Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Yang Ming's heart skipped a beat. He thought that this young man in front of him would put all the blame on the Rockets, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing.

Xinghe continued, "Mr. Yang Ming should have learned about the history of the Alliance when he was a student. He knew that the Alliance was established after the rule of the Dark Dynasty was overthrown."

How could I, a former illegal immigrant who traveled through time, have read the textbooks printed by your alliance! Yang Ming complained in his heart, but he spoke eloquently: "About five hundred years ago, there was a superpower empire that ruled all continents. It was called the Dark Dynasty. During its rule, people lived in misery."

"Finally, about two hundred years ago, the original sages of the alliance raised the banner of rebellion and united various major forces. After years of fighting, they finally overthrew the Dark Dynasty and established the current alliance."

What Yang Ming is talking about now is what he has read in the Rockets' archives and the history of the team that the league has promoted around the world.

Even though he is a time traveler, Yang Ming can still learn something through acquired learning.

However, Yang Ming did not fully believe in this so-called history. History is written by the victors. As the world's largest ruler, the Alliance would naturally glorify itself in the history books it wrote.

"Indeed, that's what happened. Our alliance is so great," Xinghe nodded, "But this is just the history released by the Alliance to the outside world. Many details have been simplified."

"And the textbooks that our Alliance investigators studied previously contained a more detailed description of this period of history."

Although Yang Ming was speechless at Xinghe's blind worship of the Alliance, he became excited at the thought of hearing more information that ordinary people could not get.

"It is true that the Dark Dynasty is brutal, but in addition to its brutality, it also has a very powerful military force as its foundation."

Yang Ming deeply agreed with this.

"It is rumored that the Dark Dynasty was even more powerful than the current Alliance in its heyday."

"However, with the uprisings in the late dynasty, even the Dark Dynasty began to be unable to hold on, so they began to study a new technology, a new technology that can control humans and Pokémon like puppets."

A gleam of light flashed in Yang Ming's eyes, knowing that the next thing to be said was the highlight.

"The Pokémon transformed by this technology are called 'Dark Pokémon'. These dark Pokémon behave like zombies, without emotions, pain, or fatigue, and execute orders like mechanical puppets."

"Of course, the same is true for humans who have been transformed," Xinghe added.

Yang Ming thought of the zombie-like Team Rocket members and their Pokémon he had encountered before, and it was indeed the same situation.

"The transformed dark Pokémon will use a type of move called 'dark attribute'. These moves are extremely powerful, but they will consume the Pokémon's vitality. Pokémon that use dark moves will be covered in black energy."

"After developing this technology, the rebels were defeated one after another. In addition to the enormous power of these dark moves, another reason was that the Dark Dynasty specifically used captured rebels as transformation targets to undermine the morale of the rebels."

"But in the end, the Dark Dynasty was overthrown," Yang Ming interrupted, "I wonder what method the Alliance used to overthrow such a dangerous empire."

"That's because someone in the dynasty defected to us," Xinghe explained. "At that time, there were seven powerful ministers in the dynasty. They acted as our insiders at the critical moment and showed us the palace where the emperor was touring and the specific defense map."

"Finally, due to internal and external factors, the emperor was killed by the rebels. Because the prince was young, the Dark Dynasty eventually fell apart and was eventually replaced by our alliance."

"I thought the Alliance would overthrow the Dark Dynasty head-on, but I didn't expect that in the end they would have to rely on taking advantage of others." Yang Ming couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Later, when the merits were evaluated and rewards were given, the seven powerful officials and their families became the top families in the alliance because of their contributions. The heads of these seven families were named after the Big Dipper and were called the 'Seven Star Families'."

"In the campaign to suppress the remnants of the Dark Dynasty, these seven families made great contributions. Their position in the alliance became increasingly stable, and they gradually controlled half of the parliament."

"No wonder the alliance became corrupt so quickly, it turns out this is the crux of the problem." A hint of enlightenment arose in Yang Ming's mind.

The ancestors of these seven star families were high-ranking officials in the Dark Dynasty. It can be said that these seven families had already been oppressing ordinary people during the Dark Dynasty.

But who would have thought that these seven families were not liquidated along with the Dark Dynasty after its demise. Instead, they were highly tied to the new regime because of their contribution in overthrowing the old regime, and transformed themselves into the new powerful faction. This allowed them and the forces attached to them to continue to suck blood with peace of mind, and even became more outrageous than before.

The root of all this can only be said that the predecessor of the alliance was too weak. It could not overthrow the Dark Dynasty alone, and had to cooperate with the ancestors of the seven major families. This led to the current situation where it is difficult to get rid of the tail.

"So have the remnants of the Dark Dynasty been completely wiped out?" Yang Ming asked.

"After the Dark Dynasty and its remnants were destroyed, two evil forces emerged. They fought against the Alliance under the name of the Dark Dynasty's successors, but they also disappeared later."

"These two organizations, one calling itself 'The Shadow' and the other 'Team Dark', both have mastered some of the Dark Dynasty's dark technology."

"I'm afraid there are more than just these two companies that have mastered the Dark Dynasty's technology." Yang Ming complained in his heart.

He had seen the Alliance use the "Guardian System" to control wild Pokémon in battle at Tsukimiyama. Apparently, the Alliance was also secretly continuing to study the remaining technology of the Dark Dynasty.

"I wonder if Mr. Investigator told me this because he suspects the mastermind behind this incident is someone from the Dark Dynasty?" A gleam of light flashed in Yang Ming's eyes.

"Yes, I arrived late and did not participate in the entire battle. I just felt that the fighting style of these Team Rockets was very similar to that of people controlled by the Dark Dynasty, so I came to ask Mr. Yang Ming." Xinghe was very frank and told him his thoughts directly.

"Although I have never seen the real remnants of the Dark Dynasty, from your description, it is indeed these people who did it."

Then, Yang Ming told Xinghe every detail of his battle.

As Yang Ming described, the expression on Xinghe's face became more and more ugly.

"It seems that the remnants of the Dark Dynasty have resurrected," Xinghe said solemnly, "Thank you for telling me this news. We hope to meet again if we are lucky enough."

Looking at Xinghe's receding figure, an expression of success flashed across Yang Ming's face.

The remnants of the Dark Dynasty are their common enemy. If Yang Ming can take this opportunity to let the alliance attack them, the pressure on him will be much less.
