Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

"I will never forget your kindness in saving my life, but I really don't remember that I have ever met you. I hope you can help me solve my doubts."

After leaving the black street, Jones finally plucked up the courage to ask the questions in his mind.

Yang Ming carried the sleeping little girl into the car, then took off the rat mask and said, "Back when we were at Yuejian Mountain, you took great care of me. This time I want to repay you for your kindness."

"You, who are you?!" Jones stood there for a long while, and finally remembered everything.

At Yuejian Mountain, Jones was the commander-in-chief of the operation, and Yang Ming was just an ordinary member participating in the mission. Although his strength was quite good among the second-level members, he could not play a key role in the battle situation at that time.

However, in the final moments, Yang Ming was able to grab the fossil and break out of the siege, which had a profound impact on Jones.

When they met again, Yang Ming had become an elite trainer, a big boss worshipped by mortals, while he himself was a prisoner and almost became someone else's cannon fodder and slave. Jones felt a little complicated.

"Let's go. This is not the place to talk. I'll tell you about my experiences during this period later."

"I see. I didn't expect you to become the deputy director of the Manjin branch at such a young age. No wonder you drive such a luxury car." Jones exclaimed.

Although he had served as deputy minister in the Nibi branch before, there was no comparison between the Nibi branch and the Manjin branch. In terms of level, the deputy minister of the Manjin branch was equivalent to the minister of the Nibi branch.

"What about you, brother? You should be in the alliance's prison now. How did you fall into the hands of the Hunter Organization?" Yang Ming asked.

Jones smiled bitterly and said, "It's a long story."

It turned out that after the battle at Tsukimiyama, all the members of Team Rocket, led by Jones, were arrested and all their Pokémon were confiscated. After being interrogated, Jones, who could not get any useful information, was thrown into a cell.

Jones in prison tried to escape many times but failed. The scars on his hands came from that time.

A month ago, a group of people suddenly came to the prison and took him away, saying that they were going to transfer him to another prison. But when he took off his hood, he found himself in an even worse environment.

"So that's how it is. It looks like someone in the alliance is colluding with Hunter J to engage in human trafficking," Yang Ming sneered in his heart, "It looks like this alliance is almost over."

The Alliance is not the only one that has ties with the Hunter Organization. Judging from the whispers at the auction just now, other forces should also have dealings with the Hunter Organization. After all, if the captured characters of the hostile forces are not particularly valuable and the rebellion fails, they will be useless after all the Pokémon are confiscated. At this time, they can be sold on the black market to make some money.

But I didn't expect that even the alliance that claims to be just would do such a thing.

“By the way, has the Nibi branch really been destroyed?” Jones asked anxiously. After all, the Nibi branch was where he had served before, and his family was also there.

"Not only the Nibi branch, but most of the organization's bases in the Kanto region have been destroyed," Yang Ming said, "but fortunately, the organization's elite forces have been preserved and can make a comeback at any time."

He then briefed Jones on the current situation.

"So that's how it is. In this case, Bixias might be the one who secretly leaked the information to the alliance." Having said that, Jones clenched his fists. His former colleagues and subordinates were all in the Nibi branch, which made him hate this traitor to the core.

"This is just my guess. After all, he is the biggest beneficiary of that incident," Yang Ming said, "and I also have reliable information that Bixias has colluded with several forces outside the organization."

Jones was silent for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, and suddenly said: "Although it is abrupt, Yang Ming, can you let me join the Manjin branch and become your subordinate?"

Yang Ming did not answer directly, but listened quietly to Jones continue speaking.

"I want to join you for three reasons," Jones continued. "First, the organization's various branches in Kanto have been destroyed. I have nowhere to go. The only person I can trust is you, a fellow Kanto native. Second, you saved me, so I should repay you no matter what and share your worries."

"And the most important thing is that I want to avenge my brothers who were betrayed before." Jones' eyes seemed to be burning with fire. "It is completely a pipe dream for me to seek revenge from the Alliance or Bixias. Only by joining your camp can I have a chance for revenge."

A smile appeared on Yang Ming's face. Jones' words were exactly the answer he wanted to hear.

An unbreakable organization must be maintained by both friendship and interests. If the organization is maintained only by interests, then betrayal is inevitable; on the contrary, if an organization is only based on friendship, then it will be difficult to last. Only by combining these two can the organization develop for a long time.

Jones's answer pointed out these two points at the same time: on the one hand, Yang Ming had done him a favor, so he should join Yang Ming's camp; on the other hand, he and Yang Ming had the same stance, and from the perspective of interests, both sides would prosper together and suffer together. Joining Yang Ming's camp was the best choice for both sides.

"Okay, since you said so, then I welcome you to join us." Yang Ming nodded. He was short of manpower now, and Jones' joining could be like a pillow for someone who was sleepy.

"It's just that your previous Pokémon have been confiscated. I need to apply for a new initial Pokémon for you, and it will take some time to go through the re-entry procedures. Is that okay?"

"I've been waiting in prison for a long time. Do I still care about this little time?" Jones laughed. "Rather than this, we should change the way we address each other, don't you think, Minister?"

"But my qualifications are shorter than yours, so this title is a bit weird," Yang Ming said with a wry smile, "and there is a director in the Manjin branch, he will be unhappy if he hears it."

"That doesn't matter," Jones said dismissively, "The strong are respected. You are stronger and more prestigious than me now, so of course you can call me Minister."

"As for the director of the Manjin branch you mentioned? Humph, he wasn't the one who rescued me from the auction, so why should I care whether he's happy or not?"

Yang Ming had no choice but to accept the title.

"I originally wanted to take you directly to the branch to report," Yang Ming looked at the night outside the car window, then looked at the little girl in the back seat of the car, and said, "But it's getting late, and you haven't had dinner yet, so why don't you go out and have a meal first."
