Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

In addition to relying on its own strengthening, evolution, and learning new skills through skill machines, Pokémon also has another way of learning skills, which is genetic skills.

In this world, Pokémon did not appear out of thin air. Like humans, they are creatures that are bred by their parents. It is worth mentioning that there is no such thing as "reproductive isolation" between the mating of Pokémon. Different types of Pokémon can also reproduce. For example, Muddy can reproduce with Gardevoir, Banjiras can reproduce with Chikorita, and Slowpoke can reproduce with Dragonite.

Pokémon born from mating of different species often inherit some skills from their parents that they were not originally able to learn. These skills are called genetic skills.

"Team Rocket's technology is really amazing, they can make Pokémon learn genetic skills out of nothing." Yang Ming's eyes flashed with excitement. In his impression, Rattata and Rattata can mate with fire-attribute Pokémon such as Growlithe, Windy Dog, and Charmeleon to produce offspring that inherit the fire-attribute skill "Pyrocar".

Yang Ming's Lada is just an ordinary Lada, so naturally it can't use the flamethrower, but with the Rockets' technology, as long as he has enough points and authority, I believe he can help Lada learn this skill.

After some searching, Yang Ming finally found the "Flame Chariot" skill in the "Genetic Skill Exchange" column. If he wanted Lada to learn this skill, he would need to pay 10,000 points and have the authority of a level 3 member or above of the Rockets.

Yang Ming quickly released Rattata from the Poké Ball and asked his partner for his opinion.

"Want to learn this skill? It can help you defeat those guys made of steel."

A hint of excitement flashed in Rada's eyes and she nodded vigorously.

Yang Ming paid 10,000 points without hesitation. Although 10,000 points was a lot, he could still afford it. More importantly, Lada was his first Pokémon. He had a special feeling for this Pokémon and was willing to invest resources in it.

As the points were paid, a female electronic voice rang out from Team Rocket's gears.

[The payment of 10,000 points has been confirmed, and the special skill machine will be transmitted now. 】

[Please do not turn off the Rocket Gear during the transmission. 】

【Transmission begins.】

As a white light flashed, a skill machine appeared out of thin air in front of Yang Ming.

Yang Ming picked up the skill machine and examined it carefully. This skill machine used to learn genetic skills looked much simpler than the official skill machine, and it seemed that the technology was not mature enough.

Yang Ming brought Lada to the training room and began to learn the skill of "Flame Car". Yang Ming followed the instructions and turned the skill machine on Lada's head. With a "click" sound, a beam of light shot out from the skill machine and sank into Lada's head. After a moment, the beam of light disappeared, and with a burst of "sizzling" sound of electricity, the skill machine was completely scrapped.

"It seems that this skill machine is disposable." Yang Ming sighed, then he looked down at Lada and asked: "Hey, have you learned the skill of the Flame Car?"

Rada nodded and demonstrated it to him on the spot.

Lada was seen running on the field, increasing his speed to a certain level, then curling up his body and "rolling" on the ground like a wheel.

As the wheels "rolled" faster and faster, sparks gradually ignited on Lada's body. Then, the sparks became more and more numerous and more intense, gradually forming flames. Finally, Lada's entire body turned into a blazing wheel of fire, galloping across the land.

"Awesome, is this the Flame Chariot?" Yang Ming said excitedly. Although the Flame Chariot is not a powerful skill, it is the only fire-attributed physical attack skill that Lada can learn. He is still happy from the bottom of his heart for his first partner.

However, the good times did not last long. After a while, the hair on Lada's back caught fire and soon he rolled on the ground in pain.

"Ah? What's going on?" Yang Ming quickly picked up the instruction manual to check, and found that due to the immaturity of the new technology, Pokémon cannot use the inherited skills proficiently after learning them through the skill machine. It takes a certain amount of practice to truly master it.

"I told you, the new technology is definitely unreliable," Yang Ming sighed, picked up Lada and went to the treatment room.

"But at least I have learned the skill of the Flame Chariot. It is only a matter of time before I master it."

Next, he gave the skill machine containing "Poison Bomb" to Bulbasaur.

Although the poison attribute itself is not an ideal offensive attribute, considering the powerful power of the poison bomb skill itself, Yang Ming still feels very happy about this reward from the headquarters.

Not to mention that Bulbasaur itself is of poison attribute. In this world, Pokémon will gain power boost when using skills with the same attribute as their own.

In addition, the Poison-attribute Toxic Bomb can restrain Grass-attribute Pokémon that are not afraid of Grass-attribute skills, and Bulbasaur's own Grass-attribute skills can restrain Ground-attribute and Rock-attribute Pokémon that can resist Poison-attribute attacks. The compatibility between Toxic Bomb and Bulbasaur is simply perfect.

With poison bombs, Bulbasaur can be said to be even more powerful.

Unlike the unreliable "new technology" skill machine, the skill machine equipped with poison bombs is very reliable. Bulbasaur learned the poison bomb skill very smoothly and did not need to practice repeatedly like Raticate to avoid having its hair singed by its own flamethrower.

Yang Ming was very satisfied with this.

After purchasing skills for Rattata, Yang Ming still had nearly 10,000 points, which were enough for him to exchange for one of the three starter Pokémon like Charmander or Squirtle.

But after some thought, Yang Ming gave up exchanging for a new Pokémon.

Yang Ming knew that the Pokémon that the Rockets exchanged were basically the Pokémon that other members turned in to exchange for points. Since everyone would keep the really good Pokémon for themselves, the Pokémon that were turned in were usually of average quality and would not have any powerful characteristics or skills.

Of course, the Rockets also provide a special service that allows users to consciously specify their own characteristics, skills and qualifications. However, if Yang Ming wanted to exchange for a perfect Pokémon, the points required would be several to dozens of times higher than the original amount.

Therefore, Yang Ming gave up further exchange and invested all the points in training himself and Pokémon. In his opinion, instead of blindly adding new partners at this stage, it is better to train himself and the existing Pokémon to the extreme.
