Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Led by the elite member, Yang Ming and the other two were brought to a grand office, where a bearded, purple-haired man was sitting lazily on a leather chair.

"Oh, is it a guest?"

Seeing Yang Ming and the other two walking to the office door, the purple-haired man showed no intention of getting up. Instead, he took out a razor from the drawer and began to trim his beard.

Faced with such unreasonable behavior, Kate winked at the other two, signaling them not to act rashly.

Yang Ming and Gray understood what he meant, and the three of them stood aside, waiting quietly.

The reason is simple. On the man’s chest hangs a badge symbolizing his status as an eighth-level member!

In Team Rocket, besides the supreme leader Sakaki, the highest-ranking person is the ninth-level senior cadre. Currently, there are only two senior cadres in the organization, namely Sakaki's left and right arms Apollo and Athena. Both of them have the strength equivalent to the king of the league.

Below these two are the level eight cadres. Level eight cadres are the actual senior management of Team Rocket, and are truly second to none but above ten thousand people.

After a long time, the purple-haired man finally shaved his beard. He then pretended to be sorry for the poor hospitality and invited the three people into his office.

"Oh, sorry, I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lambda. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Here, this is the specialty of the Johto region - the angry buns. You can all try some."

As he said that, he actually took out a few packs of angry buns from the drawer and gave them to the three of them.

At first, Yang Ming thought that the reason why this man asked the three people to wait at the door was to use his power to pressure others. Now it seems that this man is simply unreasonable.

Next, the three of them ate angry buns while introducing to Damra the causes and consequences of the attack on the Giant Stone City branch.

"What? You three actually transferred most of the personnel and facilities here? That's amazing!" After hearing that the Giant Stone Branch retained most of the resources and personnel due to the timely transfer, the eighth-level cadre praised the three people.

"Lord Damra, I heard that it was not only our branch that was attacked this time. I wonder what the situation is like in other branches?" Gray couldn't help but ask.

Facing the question from the third-level member, Damla did not show any anger, but answered them in a very humble manner: "I cannot reveal the specific situation to you, but I can tell you that among all the branches that were attacked, your Giant Stone Branch suffered the least loss."

After hearing this, Yang Ming and the other two felt relieved. Especially Kate and Gray, they knew that without Yang Ming's tip-off, the Giant Stone Branch would not have been able to successfully retain so many resources and manpower.

In addition to feeling relieved, the two of them also felt more grateful towards Yang Ming.

"Oh, by the way, your name is Yang Ming, right? I heard that you were the first to notice the alliance's actions. Can you tell me the details?"

Then, Yang Ming reported in detail the reasons and consequences of his escape after the attack on Yuejian Mountain.

"I see. Yang Ming, you are really a lucky member of the Giant Stone Branch," Damra praised. "Although the Nibi City Branch was destroyed, so you can't deliver the mission. But it doesn't matter. I will say hello to the relevant person in charge, and I can still deliver the mission at the headquarters."

Yang Ming heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then asked tentatively: "Lord Damra, I wonder what kind of Pokémon the fossil I took from Yuejian Mountain is?"

Although this fossil was a quest item and he could not keep it for himself, Yang Ming was still very curious about what Pokémon was inside the fossil.

"Unfortunately, even I don't know what's inside this fossil," Damra replied, "But the only thing that's certain is that the Pokémon inside this fossil is already dead, and even the most advanced technology in this world can't bring it back to life."

"So that's how it is." A mystery in his heart was solved, which made Yang Ming feel relieved. At the same time, a new mystery arose in his heart.

——Since this fossil cannot be resurrected, what does Team Rocket need it for?

"Alright, the headquarters will commend you for this incident. It's getting late, and you three should rest. I'll have someone arrange a room for you."

After a brief conversation, Damla ordered the three people to leave.

Looking at Yang Ming's receding back, a gleam of light flashed in Damla's eyes.

A few days later, the headquarters issued a commendation order to them. Yang Ming, Gray, and Kate were each promoted to a higher level and awarded an additional 5000 points. As a special hero in this event, Yang Ming also received a skill machine as a reward.

Each Pokémon can only learn a limited number of skills on its own, and as an important means for Pokémon to learn skills that they originally did not know, the Skill Machine is extremely valuable. It can even be said that the value of a Skill Machine that can only be learned once is much higher than that of most Pokémon.

This is because no matter how many Pokémon a trainer has, the maximum number of Pokémon he can command is only six. This is the conclusion reached after research by authoritative experts. When there are too many Pokémon under command, the trainer cannot issue accurate instructions to so many Pokémon at the same time. Therefore, the maximum number of Pokémon a trainer can command is six.

Of course, too many Pokémon will incur huge breeding and training costs, and another reason is that a trainer cannot train a large number of Pokémon at the same time in a limited time.

In any case, when the number of Pokémon increases to a certain level, if the trainer wants to further improve their strength, they have to use skill machines to teach Pokémon powerful skills that they could not learn originally. This is why skill machines are so expensive.

The skill Yang Ming obtained is the poison attribute skill "Poison Bomb". This move is not only extremely powerful, but also has a high probability of inflicting poisoning on the opponent. It is a very powerful skill.

The exchange price of this skill machine called Poison Bomb is as high as 50,000 points, and it requires members above level 5 to exchange it. If it weren't for Yang Ming's great contribution this time, God knows when he would be able to exchange it.

"You can actually get the skill machine for 'Poison Bomb'. I've seen the boss' Gengar use this skill before, and I've fantasized countless times that my Pokémon could use such a powerful skill. I didn't expect that you would get there first!" Gray patted his shoulder and said enviously.

Today, Gray came to say goodbye to him.
