Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

After politely declining Feng Lu's offer of care, Yang Ming left the gym. Jones had been waiting there for a long time.

"Did you get any results from the investigation I asked you to do?"

"Yes, Minister," Jones bowed, "I have asked the fishermen around here, and it is indeed very similar to what Masao told us."

Yang Ming nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew.

Even though they were both on the Rockets, Yang Ming didn't dare to trust him completely, so he asked Jones to get some relatively unimportant information to verify it locally in advance.

"By the way, Minister, your nose..."

"It's okay, I just had a sparring match with the fighters in the gym," Yang Ming quickly changed the subject, "It's getting late, let's go to the local contact station first."

The Rocket Team's liaison station in Azure City was a Chinese medicine pharmacy. When Yang Ming and his companions arrived there, Masao and the local Rocket Team members were already waiting there.

"Sir, this is the best Chinese medicine in our store," the deputy station chief of the liaison station respectfully handed a piece of ointment to Yang Ming, "As long as you apply it on the wound, any external injury can recover at a very fast speed."

"Thank you," Yang Ming took the ointment and applied it to the wound. "It's almost time. We should go meet the so-called Poseidon Witch."

"No, compared to going to the Poseidon Temple, there is worse news to tell you now," Masao said with a grim look on his face, "The stationmaster of the contact station disappeared a few days ago."

"What?!" Yang Ming's pupils suddenly shrank.

"It's like this," the deputy stationmaster muttered, "our stationmaster went to the Temple of Poseidon a few days ago and hasn't been back since."

"It seems that we should go to the Sea God Temple," Yang Ming left his seat and strode out of the store, "When my injury is healed, I will go meet the witch."

The Temple of Poseidon is located in the northern part of Azure City. Although this building is not as majestic as the Bell Tower, it can be seen that it is very popular on weekdays. It’s just that it’s a little late today and the residents have finished their worship, so it seems a little deserted.

When Yang Ming and others arrived at the Temple of the Sea God, a young woman in a witch's costume was chatting happily with three guests in front of the door. These three people were the guests who had been on the same submarine with Yang Ming before.

And this beautiful woman in shrine maiden's clothes was none other than Aoki Rin, the shrine maiden of the Sea God Temple whom Yang Ming had seen in the information.

"Ah, it's Mr. Manniu. I'm really sorry for not having the chance to entertain you." Calling Masao by his fake name "Manniu", Aoki Rin bowed politely, and a deep ravine could be vaguely seen through the gap in his clothes.

Just as Zhengxiong was about to speak, Yang Ming got there first. He stared at Qing Mulin and said coldly, "Are you the shrine maiden, Ms. Qing Mulin? My friend once disappeared in the Sea God Temple. Have you ever seen him?"

"Who are you?" Aoki Rin looked at the young man in front of her with her beautiful eyes curiously. It seemed that this person was not among the strong men she invited?

"My name is Qiong Gui, and I'm Manniu's friend," Yang Ming gave himself a fake name. "I just wonder if Lady Witch can answer my question. Has anyone in the Sea God Temple seen a man named Ma Gun recently?"

Ma Gun is the name used by the stationmaster of the Azure Liaison Station on a daily basis.

"This..." Aoki Rin was about to answer but was interrupted by a man next to him.

"Where did you come from, you wild boy? How dare you speak to the witch like that! I think you are tired of living."

Yang Ming looked carefully at the man who was speaking. He was a burly man with bare chests. He was one of the passengers who had come on the same submarine with Yang Ming. There were two companions, a man and a woman, beside him, who looked like they were watching a show.

"Are these three people trying to test my background?" Yang Ming sneered in his heart, and said bluntly, "Who let you out of your pants again? You dare to talk to me like this, do you want to be famous?"

Ever since he went to an underground arena, he learned all kinds of vulgar language there. It must be said that the players in the underground arena may not be strong, but they are really good at swearing.

"You!" The man was indeed enraged. He immediately threw out a Poké Ball and attacked Yang Ming with his Pokémon!

"Exposure Ball Mushroom, use poison bomb!"

A Pokémon with a Poké Ball-shaped cap on its head jumped out of the Poké Ball, waving two shields with Poké Ball patterns on them, and sprayed poison bombs from its long, pointed mouthparts, shooting at Yang Ming mercilessly.

Revealed Ball Mushroom? A Pokémon from the Unova region? Yang Ming's heart trembled, and he also sent out his own Pokémon to meet the enemy: "Magnemite, use Mirror Shot!"

Magnemite directly blocked in front of Yang Ming, using its body to dissolve the poison bomb. With its steel attribute, it was naturally immune to the poison bomb. At the same time, countless silver energy blocks shot towards the Defeated Ball Mushroom like fragments of a mirror.

The exposed ball mushroom quickly raised its double shields to block. However, its speed was too slow, and it was shot by the mirror before it could defend itself.

Aoki Rin watched the fight between the two men quietly, her beautiful eyes looking at Yang Ming from time to time, no one knew what she was thinking.

Masao stood by carefully, on guard against any sudden attack from the man's companions.

However, the man and woman just watched coldly from the side, with no intention of taking any action at all.

As the battle continues, Magnemite gradually gains the upper hand. With its steel attribute, it is not only immune to the poison bombs of the Vampire, but can also resist grass attribute attacks.

However, at this moment, Yang Ming suddenly discovered that the injuries on the Bailuqiu Mushroom's body began to gradually recover.

Regeneration ability? Yang Ming was shocked. As long as a Pokémon with this ability did not lose its combat ability, it could continuously recover from its injuries, as if it would never be defeated.

He also owns a Slowpoke with the regenerative ability, so he naturally knows the power of this ability.

"Boy, you are really strong," the man laughed, "It's a pity that you have to stop here!"

"Expose the ball mushroom, use mushroom spores!"

The colorless and odorless spores were blown towards Magnemite with a gust of wind. Although Magnemite is resistant to grass-attribute attacks, it can still be hit by the mushroom spores, which are said to be able to hypnotize enemies 100% of the time, when facing the grass-attribute transformation skills.

At this moment, a brown-haired deer with a pair of strange horns and a pair of eyes on them rushed into the battle circle. It opened its mouth and swallowed all the mushroom spores sprayed by the defeated ball mushroom.

"It's a herbivorous Falcon." Yang Ming recognized this Pokémon at once.

"We are all family, so why should we hurt the harmony here?"

Just then, a lazy voice sounded, it was the trainer of the Frighthorn Deer who arrived.
