Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

"The battle isn't over yet, next." Although he knew that the opponent's heart had been shaken, Yang Ming knew that only by defeating the opponent's six Pokémon in a row would the Son of Sakaki in front of him be truly convinced by him.

"Okay, you're my next Pokémon. Go ahead, Haunter!"

Knowing that Yang Ming's Rattata has a countermeasure against Steel-attribute Pokémon, Silver once again changed his strategy and fought with Ghost Pokémon.

A black shadow appeared in midair. Compared to its evolved form, Gengar, Haunter only had the upper half of its body. Its shadow burrowed into the ground, trying to sneak attack Raida.

"Haunter, use Wave of Evil!"

However, just as Haunter was getting behind Raida and preparing to launch a sneak attack, Raida suddenly disappeared. Then, Haunter felt a flash before his eyes, and then he lost his ability to fight.

Just like when he defeated Nura before, with an impossible angle and an unpredictable speed, Lada ended the battle in just a moment. This result made Yin's eyes more shocked.

"Wow, that was a skill with evil attributes, wasn't it? It was so fast that I couldn't see it clearly..."

Next, Silver sent out the fourth Pokémon, Golbat, but Rattata had fought against this type of Pokémon countless times, so it naturally killed it instantly without any suspense.

"Come out, Brawlhalla, use Reflective Wall." When sending out the fifth Pokémon, Silver finally learned his lesson and chose to prioritize creating a Reflective Wall to weaken Raido's attack, thereby creating an opportunity for the last Pokémon.

However, Rada would not give him a chance. Before Yongjira could finish creating the reflection wall, Rada arrived first and ended the battle in a flash.

"This is my last Pokémon. If you defeat it, you can do whatever you want with me from now on." In fact, Silver already knew that he had no chance of winning. There was only awe in his eyes when he looked at Yang Ming and Rada.

"Come out, Crocodile!"

A blue crocodile Pokémon appeared. It stood on only two feet, with sharp claws on its huge arms. When it opened its bloody mouth, its sharp white teeth could be seen.

"Is this Silver's strongest Pokémon, Tyranitar? It's really not on the same level as the previous five Pokémon," Yang Ming thought to himself, "No wonder he was able to hold out for so long under the pursuit of more than a dozen people. It turns out that he relied on this."

"Mighty Crocodile, use Water Stream!"

The whole body of the powerful crocodile was instantly wrapped by the surging water flow, and its whole body turned into an indestructible water blade. This move is very similar to the water jet, but the power is incomparable.

A hint of fighting spirit flashed in Lada's eyes. With its speed, it would be easy for it to avoid the water flow of the powerful crocodile. However, it was obsessed with fighting and wanted to take on this water-attributed move it had never seen before. It opened its mouth, revealing its sharp incisors, and at the same time exerted force on its limbs, rushing towards the powerful crocodile like a sharp arrow from a bow.

Fight! The ultimate front teeth vs. the water split! Rada's sharp front teeth tore through the surging water that was wrapped around the crocodile like armor, and bit the crocodile! The crocodile was not to be outdone! It used its huge claws wrapped in water to chop at Rada.

With a loud "bang", the shock wave generated by the collision between the two raised all the surrounding dust.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Rada was unharmed, but one of the giant arms of the Hercules Crocodile was almost torn apart, and the sharp claws on the giant arm were also broken by the impact of the fatal incisor. The winner was decided.

"I lost." Yin took back the powerful crocodile. He didn't want to see his original partner continue to get hurt.

A strange look flashed in Yang Ming's eyes. He thought that this kid would do anything to become stronger, but he didn't expect that he actually had some sincerity towards his Pokémon.

"According to the agreement, you should go back to sleep now," Yang Ming said, "but considering that your Pokémon are basically all injured, I will help heal your Pokémon."

"I... I have a request," Yin was silent for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "Please guide me, I want to be your disciple!"

"Why? There's nothing good in me taking you as my apprentice." Yang Ming concentrated on treating Yin's Pokémon without even raising his head.

"I can work like a slave for you. I'm willing to do anything as long as you can make me stronger!" Yin suddenly knelt down in front of him, completely forgetting his previous self-esteem.

Yang Ming didn't expect his attitude to change 180 degrees, and couldn't help asking: "It's okay for me to accept you as my apprentice, but can you tell me why you are so eager to become stronger?"

"I didn't know who my parents were since I was little. When I was old enough to understand, people around me called me a bastard..." Yin gritted his teeth, recalling his painful childhood, "When my peers around me had their own Pokémon, I didn't even have a legal identity! In order to fulfill my dream, I could only go to Professor Souki's laboratory to steal Pokémon and Pokémon!"

His tears flowed unconsciously, and the emotions accumulated over the years burst out completely: "In order to complete the journey, I worked part-time and challenged gyms along the way! In order to save money to buy recovery medicine, I sometimes had to rummage through the hotel's kitchen waste bins! In order to capture new Pokémon, I had to steal other people's Poké Balls!"

"I paid so much, just to prove to my parents whom I have never met that even without them, a 'bastard' like me can become a Pokémon master! I won't lose to the children of the upper class!"

"So, teacher, please guide me! The fact that you can train a Rattata to this level shows that you are also a trainer who came from the bottom. As long as you are willing to accept me, I am willing to work like a slave!"

Yang Ming finally understood where Yin's almost pathological self-esteem came from. Having never known his biological parents since childhood and living in a quagmire, it was amazing that he could hold on until now.

In a sense, the conditions of Yin, the young master of the Rockets, are even worse than those of the ordinary Rockets members. At least Yang Ming can use the internal promotion mechanism of the Rockets to continuously get promoted and obtain resources, while Yin can only rely on working illegally to support his travel. It is really not easy for him to grow to this point under such circumstances.

There was just one thing that surprised Yang Ming: Yindu was already in such a miserable state, hadn’t he ever thought about joining an underground organization like the Rockets?

Or maybe Sakaki has actually been keeping an eye on his son, but for some reason he deliberately prevents him from getting good resources? From letting him get in touch with anything related to Team Rocket?

Thinking of this, Yang Ming's hair stood on end and cold sweat kept coming out from his back.

"It's no problem for me to teach you," Yang Ming said calmly, "but I just want you to agree to one condition."

Yin was delighted when he heard this, and quickly said, "Whatever the condition is, I promise to agree to it!"

Yang Ming said solemnly: "During the period of training by me, you must obey my orders throughout the whole process. As long as I am not satisfied, I will immediately kick you out, do you understand?"

"I understand!" Yin agreed immediately, "As long as you are willing to teach me, I will do anything for you without any regrets!"

Yang Ming nodded in satisfaction: "Well, since it's settled, let's go back to sleep first. The training will start tomorrow."
