Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Yang Ming ran all the way. Since he had no Pokémon to help him move, he could only use his own legs to run towards the Boulder City branch.

"If my guess is correct, the Nibi City branch should have fallen by now. The next target of the alliance should be the Rocket Team branch around Nibi City. For example, the Cerulean City branch, or the Boulder City branch."

Yang Ming looked solemn. He did not think that the alliance had planned so carefully just to eradicate a branch in Nibi City. According to his prediction, even the Rockets branches around Nibi City would be uprooted.

"The branch chief of Jushi City, Guilang, has done me a favor. I can't run away alone." Yang Ming gritted his teeth and continued to move forward.

The distance from Yuejian Mountain to Jushi City is not short. Fortunately, Yang Ming had undergone physical training, so he was able to run all the way back to the branch.

When he returned to the branch, the first thing he went to was Guilang, the person in charge of the exemption base.

As a small branch dedicated to training newcomers, the Jushi City branch has members of generally low ranks. A second-level member like Yang Ming already has a considerable status. In addition, he has a good relationship with people in the branch, so there are no obstacles along the way. Everyone he meets along the way, whether newcomers or formal members, are very respectful to him.

When he arrived at Guilang's office, he found that in addition to Guilang, there were two members with higher ranks than him.

One of the men looked scoundrel-like. He was Gray, who arranged a dormitory for Yang Ming during the probation period and was also a level three member of the Rockets.

Yang Ming was also very familiar with another member. She was the woman with big wavy hair who recruited Yang Ming. Her name was Kate. She was a level 4 member of the Rocket Team and also the deputy director of the Boulder Branch.

These two people, together with Ghost Wolf, constitute the management team of the entire Giant Stone Branch.

"Hey, Xiao Yang, how is the mission in Yuejian Mountain going? Why are you sweating so much?" Gray was most familiar with Yang Ming, and he was the first to greet him when he saw him come back.

"Senior Gray, now is not the time to talk about this," Yang Ming walked directly in front of Ghost Wolf, "Instructor, I have something important to report to you."

Then, he reported in detail the causes and consequences of his mission on Yuejian Mountain.

After listening to Yang Ming's report, the faces of the three people present became extremely solemn.

"All the people who went to Yuejian Mountain to carry out the mission were wiped out," Gray looked up at the ceiling, as if talking in a dream, "These are half of the elite troops of the Nibi City branch..."

"Not only that, according to the analysis of the young man named Yang, the current branch in Nibi City may have already fallen." Kate's face was gloomy.

"And according to what the young man said, the alliance's next target may be us." Kate turned her head to Ghost Wolf who had been making coffee, "Boss, I think we should prepare to evacuate."

"But big sister, if the branch evacuates rashly without orders from above, it will be severely punished." Gray was a little hesitant about the evacuation.

"If we don't evacuate now, we might even lose our lives," Kate said without giving in. "Even if we are punished by the higher-ups, we will only be demoted. Compared to losing our lives, this loss is still acceptable."

Ghost Wolf silently brewed coffee, letting the two subordinates argue endlessly. After a long time, he asked Yang Ming, the lowest-ranking person present, "You are a participant in the Yuejianshan Operation. What do you think of this matter?"

Yang Ming was a little surprised. Although Instructor Ghost Wolf was usually very tolerant of him and didn't even need to knock when entering the office, he didn't expect him to ask a second-level member for his opinion on such an important decision.

Yang Ming considered his words for a moment, then answered seriously, "Instructor, I think Miss Kate's opinion is correct. No, to be exact, even if we retreat now, it's a little late."

"The Alliance's ambush on Yuejian Mountain was obviously premeditated. It is also a foregone conclusion that there is an insider among the cadres. I believe that the Alliance will destroy all branches around Nibi City with lightning speed, and the action will definitely be very fast."

"In my opinion, we must act immediately and race against time to evacuate Boulder City. If we are even a step late, we will be doomed."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Ghost Wolf immediately gave orders to the three people.

"Kate, contact headquarters immediately and apply for evacuation of Boulder City."

"Okay, boss." Kate shook her big waves and strode out of the office.

"Gray, you organize the personnel and are responsible for moving all the important facilities in the branch."

"Yes, boss." Although Gray did not agree with the evacuation, he would always resolutely carry out Ghost Wolf's orders.

"Yang Ming, you will be responsible for organizing the evacuation of those newcomers."

"Yes, sir!"

After Yang Ming left the office, he immediately assigned a dozen formal members to be responsible for the protection of the newcomers.

These members are all level zero and level one. Some of them are older than Yang Ming, but now they all have to obey Yang Ming's command.

Under Yang Ming's organization, more than fifty newcomers gathered together.

"Deputy instructor, are we really going to leave here?" asked a young girl among the newcomers, obviously a little nervous about the sudden evacuation.

"Well, but don't worry, everything will be fine along the way." Yang Ming comforted as gently as possible.

Hearing the assistant instructor whom she had always admired and trusted say this, the girl's expression relaxed.

At this moment, a huge explosion sounded from behind everyone. Before Yang Ming could react, he was knocked to the ground by a huge force.

When he stood up, he found that a big hole had been opened in the previously indestructible inner wall of the base, and a terrifying steel beast emerged from the hole.

This was a ten-meter-long giant snake, its entire body covered in a thick layer of alloy armor, and it had rows of sharp barbs on its body, which seemed to have helped it break through the base's solid outer wall. There were several people pinned down by this steel giant snake, and there were constant screams and cries coming from under the giant snake, including the girl from before.

Yang Ming's heart sank suddenly, he knew what the giant steel snake in front of him was.

Steel Pokémon: Steelix. Among the Pokémon of Kanto and Johto, it is the longest and has the highest physical durability.

Above the Steelix, a figure slowly appeared. It was a shirtless, yellow-haired rough man. He looked nonchalantly at the people who were wailing in pain under the Steelix, like a child flooding an ant nest.

"Oh my, I didn't expect the ants to gather here. I'm so sorry."

"But since my big steel snake 'accidentally' ran over you, please just lie down quietly on the ground and accept your fate."
