Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

After the battle of Yuanzhu City, Athena held a closed-door meeting attended only by members above the elite level. As the de facto leader of the Manjin branch, Yang Ming naturally also attended the meeting.

The content of the meeting was naturally the organization's future direction of action, but since the three major cadres had already made the decision, the meeting itself was just a formality, and the elites just clapped their hands to pass it and that was it.

According to Anthena's plan, Bixias and his gang have now become public enemies in the Johto area. In addition, the last battle of Yuanzhu caused Bixias to suffer heavy losses, and the rebels have almost no chance of turning the tables.

However, considering that Bixias has been operating in the Johto area for many years and has left countless hiding places in Johto, and that he is now in collusion with a mysterious powerful man named Dakoto, it is not possible to directly liquidate him for the time being.

But that doesn't mean they don't have other things to do now. As the evil deeds of the three major families are exposed, the dissatisfaction of the people of Johto with the alliance has reached its peak. Athena believes that now is a good time to seize the Johto region.

The Alliance uprooted Team Rocket's headquarters and all branches in Kanto, and now it's time for them to fight back.

Athena quickly launched a propaganda war. Taking advantage of the Rockets' hidden financial resources, she bribed a large number of local media and celebrities in Johto to attack the league's high taxes and corrupt and inefficient bureaucracy. She also pinned all the evil deeds of the three major families on the entire league.

Of course, those protesting people were not bribed by her, but gathered spontaneously. However, Athena still funded them through secret channels and various parties.

Yang Ming did not agree with this plan at first. After all, no matter how well the public opinion war was fought, with Sakaki missing, the strength of the alliance was still far greater than that of the Rockets. Even if one of the league's superstars stationed in Johto was injured and the other rebelled, the Rockets were still not able to contend with them. Once they suffered a loss in the public opinion war, the alliance would most likely turn the table.

But when Yang Ming thought about the Rockets' abnormal performance during this period, he changed his mind. You know, a year ago, the Rockets were beaten by the league without any chance to fight back, and even when their headquarters in Rainbow City was breached, they dared not say a word and could only break up and flee.

But when the Silver Conference began, Athena led Team Rocket to launch a strong attack. Not only did they use the power of the Alliance to defeat Bixias's rebels and make them lose all their cards, but now they want to take advantage of the Alliance's reputation in Johto to erode the Alliance's territory in Johto.

Such a feat is obviously not something that Athena or Apollo could accomplish. The person behind the scenes must be a more powerful figure.

Could it be that... that man is back?

Thinking of this, Yang Ming immediately agreed to this plan, and even proposed to include cyber warfare in the plan, by buying off the internet army to further incite public opinion and create the biggest anti-alliance wave in Chengdu.

This plan was naturally adopted by Athena.

Under the dual public opinion offensive of the Internet and traditional media, the alliance's outdated propaganda system was hit without any ability to fight back. For a time, public resentment was boiling, and the alliance paid the price for their arrogance.

Some high-ranking members of the alliance were furious at the protest rallies in Johto and proposed to send out the army to suppress them, but their proposal was rejected by Du. Du believed that the alliance had fallen into this situation entirely because of the massive budget cuts in Johto in recent years. If the alliance used force to suppress the rallies again, it would probably cause greater public resentment.

The senior executive wanted to refute, but the alliance chairman Damalanqi had already made a decision.

"Although I know that you are very anxious, don't forget that the Johto region is governed by us and the Pure Land Union. If we suppress the people there, I am afraid that the Bell Tower, as the head of the Pure Land Union, will be the first to oppose it."

After hearing this, the senior executive quickly calmed down.

"Anyway, we have confiscated a lot of property from the three major families. As long as we use this money to appease the people, I believe this disturbance will soon subside."

Yang Ming did not feel any psychological burden about harming the alliance. Although Lihua Tianwang saved him twice, and although he had a close relationship with the alliance's search officer Xinghe, it was ultimately only a personal relationship, and the organizations they represented were still hostile.

And considering that Lihua is determined to change the current alliance, Yang Ming does not think that his approach is contrary to her. On the contrary, if he really wants to promote the reform of the alliance, influence its rule, and make it have a sense of crisis, it is also a way.

But no matter what, this matter is of real benefit to Yang Ming. During the battle between Yuan Zhu and Yang Ming, Yang Ming's identity as a Rocket had already been exposed. But now the league is in a mess and has no time to take care of his affairs. And forces such as Bell Tower deliberately do not want to pursue this matter, which has led to Yang Ming's identity still not being exposed to the public.

This made Yang Ming breathe a sigh of relief. He thought he could only stay in Manjin City now. Now it seems that as long as he doesn't go to the alliance headquarters, it should be no problem to just walk around in other cities.

…………

Xiao Juer sat on the bed with her hands on her knees. The events of the day were still lingering in her mind. When she thought about herself looking at a young man's body at close range, her cheeks became hot unconsciously.

"I am back."

Feng Lu opened the door. Unlike Xiao Juer who was staying here temporarily, she had the key given by Yang Ming and could enter the room at any time.

"By the way, your shoe fell off." Feng Lu shook the high-heeled shoe in her hand. It was the one that Xiao Juer dropped in panic.

"Thank you." Xiao Juer took the high heels with a dazed look on her face.

"Don't thank me, it was Yang Ming who helped you find it." Feng Lu said with a smile, and told Xiao Juer about the scene when she found the shoe.

At that time, Yang Ming was chatting with her, mainly talking about the post-war reconstruction of Yuanzhu City and Lihua's injuries. Suddenly, Yang Ming's face changed, as if he had discovered something, and then he began to look around, and when he was sure that no one was around, he picked up the shoe from the corner and handed it to her.

"Although I don't have a very deep impression, I remember that these seem to be Miss Xiaojuer's shoes. In order to prevent her from being troubled, I can only ask you to deliver them to her for me." Yang Ming said seriously.

Feng Lu was speechless for a moment: "Why don't you just return it to her in person?"

Yang Ming blushed and turned his head away: "I am a tough guy. If I run around with a pair of women's high heels in my hand and my subordinates see me, my tough guy image will be ruined."

"Then how do you plan to repay me?" Feng Lu blinked.

"...I'll treat you to a meal."

"No, that's too cheap for you."

After some bargaining, Yang Ming used "playing with her for a day" as a bargaining chip and finally got Feng Lu to agree to help.

Looking at the high heels in her hand, Xiao Juer's eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she suddenly said, "Feng Lu, do you like him?"

"Let's confess our feelings to him now, before we leave Johto."
