Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

"How about this, brother? I'll exchange the 'little pearls' for your 'little mushrooms'. What do you think?" After being intoxicated, the fat man put forward the terms of the transaction in a serious manner.

Small pearls are mostly produced in the bodies of the water-attribute Pokémon Shellfish and Spiny Oyster. These pearls are very popular among young women.

The small pearl can be exchanged for 500 points, which is twice as much as the small mushroom. This deal is a huge profit for Yang Ming.

"Okay, deal!"

Then, the fat man took out a flawless silver pearl and handed it to Yang Ming. Yang Ming secretly inspected the pearl through the Rocket Team Gear. After confirming that the pearl was really worth 500 points, Yang Ming made the deal without hesitation.

"By the way, friend, do you have the Moonstone?" After completing the transaction, Yang Ming asked about another item he wanted most.

The Moon Stone is a necessary item for Pipi to evolve into Picosi. Although Yang Ming is not in a hurry to evolve Pipi, if he can prepare it in advance, he can evolve Pipi at any time in the future.

"This... Alas, I don't have it either." The fat man shook his head helplessly.

“Is that so…” Yang Ming was a little disappointed, but when he thought about it, even when he went to Yuejian Mountain last time, he didn’t get even half a piece of Moon Stone, not to mention that Yuejian Mountain was blocked now.

"But you don't have to worry, brother," the fat man continued, "I have a distant cousin who owns a large mine in the United States. She is on the ship now. I will ask her."

After hearing this, Yang Ming's hope was rekindled. Since the other party was the owner of the Hezhong mining area, the possibility of obtaining the Moonstone was not low.

After a while, the fat man brought a stunning beauty with a slim figure wearing a silver low-cut dress.

"I heard that this little brother wants the Moon Stone?" The beautiful woman looked at Yang Ming curiously, "I want to know, little brother, what item can you use to exchange for the Moon Stone?"

"I have a Water Stone here, which should be more than enough to exchange for the Moon Stone." Yang Ming took out a stone emitting blue light from his arms. It was the Water Stone that he had robbed from the young man in a suit before.

The other party couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Using the Water Stone to exchange for the Moon Stone is indeed enough in terms of value, but I don't lack Evolution Stones~"

As expected, as the heir of a mining company, he would not be short of evolution stones. Yang Ming was a little discouraged about this transaction, but he had not given up completely. He then asked tentatively: "Then may I ask Miss, what do you want? As long as I have it, I will try my best to satisfy you."

"Sister, I want the heart scale. I wonder if my little brother can fulfill this small request."

Yang Ming's face turned bitter. The rarity of this Heart Scale was not much lower than that of the Evolution Stone. Moreover, it was something that only the Pokémon Heartfish, which was unique to the Hoenn region, could carry. Where could he find this thing?

"I'm sorry, I can't take this thing out." After saying that, Yang Ming stood up and was about to leave.

Just when Yang Ming was about to give up the deal, the fat man next to him spoke up, "Actually, this is not without a solution. I recently imported a batch of love fish from the Hoenn region. How about this, cousin, you first exchange evolution stones with this brother, and when the batch of love fish arrives, I will use the heart scales to exchange for your water stones."

"This is indeed a good idea," the stunning beauty agreed to the plan after a brief thought, "but cousin, why do you have to help this little brother? I remember that you are not interested in the evolution stone."

"Hehe, who asked this brother to satisfy my appetite?" The fat man scratched the back of his head, and then said to Yang Ming: "Brother, the largest fishery in Qiancong City is owned by my family. You are welcome to visit us in the future."

"Of course, it would be even better if you could bring some rare and poisonous mushrooms."

"Thank you. I will come to visit you when I have the chance." Yang Ming nodded. He had a good impression of this fat man. If he hadn't helped him, this deal would probably have failed.

After completing the transaction, he chatted with the cousins ​​for a while and then left the exchange.

Although there were still many normal customers in this exchange, the "items" traded by some of them made him feel uncomfortable, so after getting what he wanted, Yang Ming no longer had any need to stay there.

This time he reaped a lot. Not only did he exchange the small mushrooms for more valuable small pearls, he also exchanged the water stone that he had no use for the moon stone.

Although the 500 points of Little Pearl are nothing to him now, they can be used as an emergency measure when points are short. Not to mention that Little Pearl can be preserved for a longer time than Little Mushroom, so he doesn't have to put the Little Mushroom in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.

As for the Moon Stone, it is even more important. With the Moon Stone, he can evolve Pipi at any time. After Pipi has learned all the skills that can be learned, he can use the Moon Stone to evolve it seamlessly, so that he will not be unable to evolve it in the future.

"Ah, this mission was so relaxing and comfortable, just like traveling," Yang Ming sighed, "I really hope there will be more missions like this in the future."

Just then, the ship's broadcast sounded.

"The cruise ship is about to arrive at the Shallow Red Harbor. Please check your belongings before arriving at your destination to avoid losing your luggage."

"Arrival at Qianhong City?" Yang Ming muttered to himself. He had done some research and found out that the Saint Annu would stop between Dead Leaf City, Qianhong City and Honglian Island. His destination was Honglian Island, and before that a group of guests would board the ship from Qianhong City.

"I hope nothing goes wrong."

The cruise ship has docked at the Port of Light Red. Fatty and his cousin have already disembarked. They are about to visit the wildlife sanctuary in Light Red City.

At this moment, my cousin suddenly showed a strange look, and then fell silent.

"Cousin, what's wrong with you?" The fat man noticed something was wrong and asked with concern.

"I feel like there's a hint of danger among the people who boarded the ship in Qianhong City. They give me the feeling that they are professional killers..."

"Haha, it must be your illusion, cousin," the fat man laughed. "The security check on the Saint Anno is so strict, how could a killer sneak in?"

"Let's go to the nature reserve. I heard that the nature reserve in Qianhong City is the largest in Kanto..."

Meanwhile, on the Sant'Anno, a large group of people crowded in front of the security gate.

"What? You said you don't need to go through security check? That's not possible. This is the rule of the Saint Anne. You can't board the ship after security check." The burly man who had received Yang Ming before was now explaining with difficulty.

The leading man didn't say anything and just handed an ID card to the big man.

"Ah? So you are the elite investigators! My apologies. I will arrange rooms for you right away." The burly man's attitude changed instantly after looking at the ID cards, and he immediately arranged rooms for this group of investigators.

However, on the lining of these "Investigator" jackets, you can see a red R badge, which is the logo of the evil organization Team Rocket.
