Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Fortunately, there are very few such skills. After Yang Ming memorized them in his mind, he continued to read.

At this time, he turned to the introduction of Leaf Blade, which was a new skill that Bulbasaur had learned. Yang Ming was not very familiar with it, so he read it carefully.

"Flying Leaf Blade, a grass attribute skill. This skill can attack multiple targets at the same time and is easier to hit. However, when attacking multiple targets, the power will be dispersed, so please be careful..."

Reciting the description in the book in his mind, Yang Ming had a general understanding of this skill.

"Looking at the analysis of Flying Leaf Blade in the book, the power of a single shot of Flying Leaf Blade when it is dispersed is not as good as that of Vine Whip, but its power when it focuses on attacking one enemy is much higher than that of Vine Whip, but it is still far inferior to powerful skills such as Fatal Fang and Poison Bomb."

"No wonder I couldn't kill Rumblestone instantly during training. It turns out it was because its power was dispersed. At the moment, this is still a pretty good Grass-attribute skill, at least much stronger than Vine Whip. When Bulbasaur becomes stronger, I should be able to learn even more powerful Grass-attribute skills."

Yang Ming analyzed silently and felt that before obtaining stronger grass-attribute skills, Leaf Blade could replace Whip as Bulbasaur's commonly used grass-attribute attack skill.

After finishing this book, Yang Ming found another book introducing the customs and culture of the Pokémon world and started reading it.

When Yang Ming finished his studies for the day, he found that it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

"I forgot to eat, and I don't know if there's anything left in the cafeteria."

Yang Ming walked towards the cafeteria. Along the way, several members of Team Rocket passed by from time to time. Unlike when they were in the Boulder Branch, the members of Team Rocket at the headquarters rarely greeted each other, and they were even more indifferent to members like Yang Ming who came from the branch.

This is not surprising. Compared with small branches like the Giant Stone Branch, the competition among members of the headquarters is more intense, and it is difficult for them to get along well with each other. Not to mention for outsiders like Yang Ming, a third-level member, who can be considered a management level in the branches outside, but people of this level are simply numerous in the headquarters, and even fifth- and sixth-level elite members are not uncommon here.

When he arrived at the cafeteria, he found that there was no food left, only some rotten vegetable leaves in the waste bin.

"Alas, it seems that I can only go out to buy food again." Yang Ming sighed. He has been studying and training all the time recently, and he always misses meals. Unlike in the Giant Stone Branch, the cafeteria here will not take special care of him.

Of course, the headquarters also has a special restaurant for elite members, which is open 24 hours a day, but Yang Ming's level means he can't enter.

Yang Ming put on a simple coat and took the elevator to the ground.

In front of him was a bustling neighborhood. In the distance, tall buildings stood in a row. Colorful neon lights set off the beautiful night view. People were coming and going on the streets. Vendors were shouting loudly in front of their shops. There were a wide variety of promotional advertisements of all sizes.

"It really deserves to be the most prosperous Rainbow City in Kanto. I thought the city center of Giant Stone City was also prosperous enough, but compared with here, it seems like a rural place." Yang Ming sighed.

Soon he passed the most prosperous area in the city, where the city's most upscale consumption places were located. Various luxury cars were parked in front of the hotel, and the men were all dressed in suits and looked like noblemen. The women were wearing gorgeous dresses and expensive jewelry, attracting the men's attention.

Yang Ming didn't fit in with the environment here, and of course he was just passing by. Yang Ming turned a few corners and left this busy traffic artery.

In an inconspicuous corner, there is a shabby little restaurant, which is run by a father and daughter. When the daughter, who is a waitress at the hotel, saw Yang Ming entering the restaurant, she immediately went to greet him.

"Hey, Mr. Yang, you're here. Is it the same as before today?"

"Yeah, same as always." Yang Ming nodded.

The girl was not very pretty, and because of this, the store had fewer problems. After receiving Yang Ming's affirmative answer, the girl ran to the kitchen.

Yang Ming took a lot of effort to find this restaurant. Since he often missed meal times recently, Yang Ming basically eats outside the base recently.

As the most prosperous city in Kanto, Rainbow City's management is much stricter than other cities. Basically all restaurants require guests to show their trainer ID cards that symbolize their identity. As an illegal immigrant, Yang Ming naturally does not have such a thing as an ID card.

Fortunately, Yang Ming finally found this restaurant. It can be said that this restaurant is the only restaurant in the entire Rainbow City that does not require an ID card to dine. After a few visits, Yang Ming became a regular customer here.

The dishes were served very quickly. They were ordinary home-cooked dishes, delicious, filling and affordable. Unfortunately, they were not competitive in Rainbow City.

The boss here said that they will move out in half a year. The high rent and the lack of business have made this store unable to make ends meet. In addition, the nearby land is about to be demolished, and the developer has issued an ultimatum, forcing them to move out within half a year.

"Alas, it's not easy for everyone." Yang Ming sighed in his heart.

After the meal, Yang Ming put a banknote under the bowl and left.

As soon as he walked out of the shop, he bumped into a customer. Yang Ming looked up at the customer while apologizing. But he didn't know until he saw him. He was so scared that he started sweating.

This was a girl wearing a loose kimono, with short, shiny black hair that reached her ears. She was now giving him a gentle smile.

"What's wrong with you, sir? Are you feeling unwell?" The girl stretched out her hands to support Yang Ming's body.

"It's okay. I bumped into you accidentally. I'm sorry." Yang Ming was so scared that his heart was pounding, but he still pretended to be calm and bowed his head to apologize, then walked out of the store without looking back.

"Sir, you forgot to give me the change!" the restaurant owner chased after him.

"Maybe this gentleman has something urgent?" Looking at Yang Ming's figure, the girl comforted the boss.

Yang Ming turned a deaf ear to the voice behind him and ran all the way until he came to a crowded downtown area and stopped to catch his breath.

"That was so scary just now. I didn't expect to meet Lijia, the gym leader of Rainbow City!" Yang Ming was still frightened.

The gym is a special institution in the Pokémon world. The trainers in the gym are not only responsible for accepting challengers, but also for maintaining the city's law and order. It is a subordinate institution of the Alliance.

The gym leader is often the strongest trainer in the city's gym. The weakest among them is at the level of an elite trainer, and the strongest is close to the level of the Elite Four!

"I was too careless this time. Next time I must learn from this lesson and try to avoid meeting people from the gym." Yang Ming reminded himself secretly.
