Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

"Have you never thought about the meaning of living like this?" Yang Ming asked, "No matter how powerful you are when you are alive, everything will vanish into thin air after you die."

"Why do we have to think about this?" Jones asked, "Those wild Pokémon don't have the extravagant lives we humans have, and they have to face all kinds of external enemies, but they will be confused about 'survival', not to mention us humans."

“There is no need to ponder the meaning of ‘being alive’. Being alive is living. Even if you live like an ant, it is better than losing your life.”

"Because being alive means there is still hope."

"I see, I see," Yang Ming suddenly realized, "Indeed, as long as people live, they will slowly discover the meaning of their existence. It seems that I am just being too picky."

"Minister, there is something I have been holding back on my heart, but now I must speak out," Jones said seriously, "Do you relieve your stress on weekdays?"

Yang Ming said without hesitation: "Yes, I rely on exercise to temporarily forget my worries and stress."

"Uh...is there any other way?"

"Sometimes I sit in a chair and think about life," Yang Ming asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Jones sighed, "I just think you've been suffocating yourself, Minister."

"I think the reason why you doubted your life just now is because you have accumulated too much pressure in your daily life."

"We are in this line of work and we are on the hook. Murder and arson are common occurrences. We often witness our companions die, and even our own lives are not guaranteed."

"This kind of life is not something a normal person can live, so a lot of negative emotions will inevitably accumulate over a long period of time."

"To get rid of these emotions, it is obvious that extreme ways of venting are needed. We all live day by day, and if we want to vent these negative emotions, we naturally have to rely on alcohol or women."

"But even though you hold a high position, your daily life is so monotonous. Every day you are either training or handling official business, or participating in missions and killing people. To be honest, this lifestyle is not suitable for people like us. Minister, you also need to relax appropriately."

Jones is worthy of being someone who has worked at the bottom of the Rockets for many years. He can see at a glance that there is something wrong with Yang Ming's mental state.

Yang Ming smiled: "You may have a point, but I have no interest in alcohol."

"What about women?" Jones advised. "I'm not being nosy. In fact, the Minister has had good luck with women in the past few months. You just ignored it. People like us look for women not because we are lustful, but just want to wash away the anger after killing."

Yang Ming shook his head: "I can't do anything to a woman I don't know well."

"What about the familiar woman?" Jones suddenly leaned forward and whispered, "Minister, you are good to us low-level people. I can see it, so I hope you can go further on this path instead of being crushed by your own responsibilities and pressures."

Yang Ming didn't expect Jones to be so concerned about this matter.

It's no wonder. Ever since Jones saw that his boss had a promising future, he decided to fully assist Yang Ming. A small figure like him with no background or backing could only have a chance to turn things around if he followed the right leader.

"So you are here."

Yang Ming turned around and found Feng Lu appeared behind him at some point. She was wearing a light blue dress, looking pure and beautiful.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Jones rolled his eyes and left very "tactfully".

The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense. Yang Ming racked his brains to find some topics to talk about, but he didn't know where to start.

"Let's go eat together," Feng Lu finally spoke up to break the silence, "If I'm guessing correctly, you definitely haven't had dinner yet."

Only then did Yang Ming realize that he had actually forgotten to eat.

"You are always like this, busy with all kinds of things every day, but never take care of yourself," Feng Lu smiled, "You see, in the end, I will have to take care of you."

Yang Ming couldn't help but think of Feng Lu's enthusiastic yet clumsy look in taking care of him when they were in Zhanlan City, and he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

"You, what are you looking at?" Feng Lu saw Yang Ming staring at her, her face suddenly turned red, and she scolded, "I'm not good-looking, so you'd better stop looking at me."

"I just remembered some interesting things," Yang Ming smiled slightly, "and who said you are not good-looking? This person's taste is really bad."

"I, that's what I think," Feng Lu's face turned even redder, and she muttered softly, "I'm not as pretty as Xiao Juer. When we were together before, everyone's attention was attracted by her."

"You're comparing yourself to the most beautiful woman in the world? That's ridiculous." Yang Ming was speechless for a moment, "There aren't many people in the world who can compare with her, right?"

Then he added: "And I don't think you are worse than her."

"Really?" Feng Lu felt her ears burning and her heartbeat quickening. She didn't dare look directly at Yang Ming, so she turned away and asked anxiously, "Are you trying to comfort me?"

"I'm serious," Yang Ming said seriously, "By the way, I also seriously think that Lada is better than Arceus."

After hearing this, Feng Lu was immediately deflated.

"Are you praising me or insulting me?"

"Of course I'm praising you," Yang Ming said seriously, "Your position in my heart is the same as Lada's."

Feng Lu was speechless. Although she knew that Yang Ming was really praising her seriously, it still sounded weird.

While Feng Lu turned her head away, Yang Ming looked at her carefully. Compared with the first time they met, Feng Lu was indeed much more beautiful now.

At the beginning, Fenglu was dressed like a tomboy except for her long hair. But now, she has not only learned how to dress under Xiaojuer's guidance, but she has also become more and more beautiful. It can be said that a girl has changed a lot since she grew up.

Even Yang Ming couldn't understand why the same person's temperament could vary so much in one year.

The two came to the most famous restaurant in Manjin City and booked a room. Yang Ming picked up the menu and handed it to Feng Lu: "Just order whatever you like. I'll pay for it anyway."

Now that he owns a business, this little money certainly doesn't matter to him.

Feng Lu glanced at the menu and finally put it down with a helpless look on her face.
