Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

After finishing his call with Tokugawa, Yang Ming began training his two new "students".

"Ha, I haven't seen your Pokémon yet. Come, have a one-on-one battle with Silver, and let me test your abilities."

In Yang Ming's opinion, the best training is actually fighting. Even he himself has reached his current level by fighting in the Rockets' combat simulation room.

"Although I prefer playing to fighting," Haou yawned, "but since it is the teacher's request, let's get started."

"Come out, Tree-Pillow Bear."

A koala Pokémon appeared from the Poké Ball. It looked ordinary, very similar to the koalas Yang Ming had seen in his previous life. The only noticeable thing was the piece of log that it was holding tightly like a pillow.

As soon as the Tree Pillow Tailed Bear appeared, he hugged the log and fell asleep, snoring like thunder.

"Mighty Crocodile, kill it, use Water Stream Smash!"

Silver has always been tough and strong-willed. When he saw that the opponent's Pokémon was sleeping during the battle, he was immediately furious and ordered Croakinger to attack Ursagi with all his strength.

The rushing water wrapped around the body of the Hercules crocodile, as if it was wearing a suit of water armor, and it pounced on the tree-pillowed bear with all its strength.

However, the alligator's full-strength attack missed! Just as the water was about to break and hit the alligator, the sleeping bear suddenly took action. It used the log in its hand as a springboard, jumped up, and easily jumped behind the alligator.

"What?!" Silver was shocked. He didn't expect that this Pokémon that had been sleeping all the time was so agile that it could dodge the attack of Crocodile even in its sleep.

Among all the people present, only Yang Ming knew what was going on.

The characteristic of the Tree Pillow Tail Bear: Absolute Sleep. A Pokémon with this characteristic will always be in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, and will not be affected by abnormal conditions such as sleep, paralysis, burns, poisoning, etc., and it will not affect its ability to move.

Yin mistakenly thought that the Tree-Pillowed Bear sleeping during a battle was a sign of contempt for the opponent. In fact, this was just due to the characteristics of the Tree-Pillowed Bear, not that it really underestimated its opponent.

"Tree-Pillow Tailed Bear, use the mallet!" Seeing that the alligator was wide open, Hao made a prompt decision and ordered the Tree-Pillow Tailed Bear to attack.

The tree-pillowed bear was snoring loudly while swinging the log, smashing it at the alligator like a giant hammer. The log was swung vigorously by the tree-pillowed bear, which shows that the power of this move should not be underestimated.

A powerful grass-attribute skill - the wooden hammer. This move is no less powerful than a powerful whip.

"Mighty Crocodile, use water jet!" Yin reacted quickly, knowing that Mighty Crocodile was in bad situation, and responded quickly.

The body of the Hercules crocodile was quickly covered by the water flow, which pushed the Hercules crocodile far away like a propeller, avoiding the wooden hammer of the tree-pillowed tailed bear.

However, the short-term avoidance of the mallet did not mean the end of the danger. As the tree-pillowed bear swung the mallet and pressed forward, the crocodile's evasive space became very small.

"This kid named Hao is so amazing, much better than his peers." Feng Lu exclaimed.

"After all, he is the grandson of the King of the Island, so it is normal for him to have such strength," Yang Ming said, "It is better to say that it is very good that Yin can hold on until now without any guidance."

"Mighty Crocodile, use Water Stream!" Seeing that he had nowhere to escape, Yin simply gave it a try.

"Tree Pillow Tailed Bear, use Wood Chase!"

The two Pokémon's strongest moves were combined together, and in the end, it was Turtle's mallet that broke Crocodile's Water Surge, rendering the opponent unable to fight.

However, the Tree-Pillowed Bear was also seriously injured. Although the power of the wooden hammer is huge, its huge reaction force will also cause harm to the user.

"Thank you for your hard work, Tree-Pillow Tailed Bear," Hao took back the Tree-Pillow Tailed Bear and smiled, "Your Mighty Crocodile is also very powerful. It can actually fight with my Tree-Pillow Tailed Bear to this extent."

Yin remained silent. Before this, he had great ambitions and wanted to stand out in the Silver Tournament. But reality dealt him a heavy blow. Even a boy of the same age as him could easily defeat him. How could he defeat so many powerful enemies in the Silver Tournament?

Yang Ming walked forward and asked with concern: "How is it, how do you feel?"

"I've gained a lot," Yin said after a long silence, "I thought my current strength was already quite good among my peers, but I never expected there is someone better than me. It really opened my eyes."

After the failure, he changed his previous arrogance and became calm and steady.

"You have lived up to my expectations of you by thinking this way," Yang Ming said earnestly, trying his best to look like a teacher. "You know, the reason why you lost to Haou is not because the power of the Hercules Crocodile is not as good as that of the Tree-Pillowed Bear, but because you were suppressed by your opponent on the tactical level."

Yin seemed to realize something and his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Pokémon battles are not just about strength, but also about tactics," Yang Ming said slowly. "Although Turtle is a Normal-attribute Pokémon, Hau has given it the Grass-attribute skill Mallet, which gives it an advantage when facing Ground, Water, and Rock-attribute Pokémon."

"And your Tyranitar is too dependent on water-attribute skills. Although water-attribute Pokémon can indeed cause greater power when using water-attribute skills, as long as you encounter Pokémon such as Swampert and Parastet that can absorb water-attribute attacks, your Tyranitar can only wait for death."

"So if you want to become stronger, you can't just practice blindly. You also need to learn the basic tactics such as attribute restraint, attack range, characteristics, item usage, joint defense, joint attack, etc."

"I want to learn." Yin nodded without hesitation. In the past, he had never systematically learned Pokémon battles. Even after stealing Crocodile, he just practiced hard and relied on his own exploration in battles.

Now that he had the opportunity to learn from scratch, how could he miss it?

Yang Ming nodded slightly: "Well, then I will teach you from the most basic tactics tomorrow."

In his opinion, it is not difficult to improve Silver's strength in a short period of time. Apart from teaching him theoretical knowledge, the rest is just to spend points to buy skill machines for Silver's Pokémon to learn.

Ever since he became an elite, he has never been short of points. At the beginning of this mission, he also advanced 100,000 points as a mission reward, which can be said to be more than enough.

Not to mention that he didn't have to spend his own points - Yang Ming had already agreed with Lambda that all expenses during the mission would be reimbursed by the organization.

Since you don't need to spend your own money to buy things for the young master, just spend as much as you want.

"Let's buy these two skill machines first." Yang Ming muttered to himself as he looked at the "True Qi Bomb" and "Frozen Fist".
