Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

When it was at the Well of Slowpoke, Slowpoke thought it was the king of this world. It was not until it met Yang Ming and his companions that it truly realized that there were stronger beings in this world besides itself, and it took the initiative to follow Yang Ming.

But even so, in Slowpokemon's heart, he still has the idea that "Yang Ming (and his Pokémon) is the boss, and I am the second", and he looks down on all existence except Yang Ming and himself.

Today's defeat can be said to have given it a profound lesson. Not only is it no match for the Pokémon of Wind Dew, but the gap between it and Venusaur is also getting bigger and bigger.

When Slowpoke thought that Bulbasaur, which it could only look up to before, had now reached a height that it could not reach, the fighting spirit in Slowpoke's heart not only did not die out, but became even higher than before.

"You've done very well. Don't be too discouraged." Feng Lu saw Slowpoke lying in a daze in the corner. Thinking it was still frustrated about its previous defeat, she hurried forward to comfort it.

This time, Slowpoke showed no resistance and allowed Fenglu to caress it.

Yang Ming saw every move of Slowpoke, which made him feel very relieved. In Yang Ming's opinion, after experiencing this failure, Slowpoke completely let go of the arrogance it had developed when it was the king of the Well of Slowpoke, and it has truly grown up in its heart.

"Self-esteem is something that any strong person needs. But if a person always puts on an attitude of superiority in front of others, but his own strength is far inferior to others, such self-esteem is nothing more than the emperor's new clothes."

"Whether it's a human or a Pokémon, self-esteem should always be hidden deep in the heart, not on the surface. Slowpoke, you have completely embarked on the path of becoming a strong man."

"Oh no, I was so busy entertaining Slowpoke that I forgot to heal Swan!" After comforting Slowpoke for a while, Feng Lu remembered that she had forgotten to heal her own Pokémon and immediately became panicked.

"It's okay. I've already treated Dancing Swan for you," Yang Ming said with a smile. "Thank you, Miss Fenglu."

"Thank you, thank me for what? I don't think I did anything to help you." Feng Lu was confused. "If I have to thank you, I should thank you for taking care of the dancing swan for me."

"Well, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

In the next few days, Yang Ming was waiting for the second in command of the underworld, Smiling Tiger, to send him a message, and by the way, he accompanied Feng Lu to travel around the Chengdu area.

Feng Lu is a carefree girl with a somewhat unconventional mindset, but getting along with her is not tiring. On the contrary, Yang Ming learned a lot about the customs and practices of the United States from her.

"In my hometown, weddings and funerals are held in the same place. Every time a couple gets married, they need to go to the Tower of Heaven and ring the big bell at the top of the tower."

The Tower of Heaven, a famous tomb tower in the Unova region, is a place for burying the dead.

Yang Ming and Tokugawa looked at each other, thinking that this was really explosive.

Although there is a Pokémon Tower in the Kanto region's Lavender Town, it is simply a place for mourning the dead. After all, normally no one would court in a cemetery.

"According to the customs of our hometown, weddings and funerals are the most important occasions in a person's life. Only the sacred bell at the top of the Tower of Heaven can witness the two most important events in a person's life." Feng Lu was still introducing the customs of her hometown.

"No, Boss. I thought Miss Fenglu was cute, but I can't stand it when I think about the customs of her hometown."

"What are you thinking about? Miss Fenglu has already become the next leader of the Fukiyome Gym at such a young age. It's not your turn yet," Yang Ming was speechless. "Besides, maybe she has a boyfriend in her hometown."

"A girl traveling alone in a foreign place doesn't look like she has a boyfriend," Tokugawa quickly changed the subject. "Let's not talk about this for now. Boss, I have something I want to ask you for help. I wonder if you can..."

"You want to buy a skill machine to strengthen your Pokémon, right? Leave this to me."

The two found an excuse to temporarily separate from Feng Lu and discussed this issue alone.

"Boss, this is it. I want to buy a genetic skill machine called 'Pain Divided' for Gas Bomb to enhance its combat power, but only members above level three have the authority to purchase this skill machine, and I'm only a level one member. Even if I accumulate enough points, I can't redeem it, so..."

"No problem. I'll lend you the authority and you will have to pay for the points yourself." Yang Ming solved the problem for him without hesitation.

"Thank you, boss. Although I may not have the opportunity to repay you in the future with my limited strength, I will try my best..." Tokugawa choked up.

"This is the condition I promised you when you chose to be with me, so you don't have to thank me at all," Yang Ming said calmly, "and you have done a lot for me during this period of time. Even if you have no credit, you have worked hard."

"Yes, then, boss. I'll leave first." Holding the skill machine he had exchanged, Tokugawa left first.

"Pain Divided? This is indeed a good skill for Gas Bomb, especially when facing opponents like Snorlax and Chansey. This skill will be very effective. Tokugawa has a good eye for choosing this skill."

For Yang Ming, Tokugawa's increased strength will also be helpful to his future missions, so he is naturally happy to lend a hand.

As time passed, the trainers who were searching for the three sacred beasts finally began to gather together.

Due to their serious lack of understanding of the power of the legendary Pokémon, these people initially thought that they could capture Raikou, Entei, and Suicune by simply forming a small team of several people, so that the earliest trainers who started to capture the three sacred beasts were basically wiped out.

Similarly, due to a serious lack of knowledge, many of these people even hold on to bizarre ideas such as "capturing legendary Pokémon to sell for money", which is almost like "the emperor's golden hoe", resulting in many deaths.

But when Yang Ming spread the information about Leigong killing Pokémon hunters instantly through the black market, these people finally realized how powerful the legendary Pokémon was and how stupid their initial ideas were.

This led to two choices for these people: some people realized the lack of their own strength and chose to give up; while others continued to take risks. After realizing the power of legendary Pokémon, they no longer fought as a team, but chose to act in groups, trying to seize the opportunity to capture legendary Pokémon with human wave tactics.

And this is exactly what Yang Ming wants.
