Pokemon, a genius scientist who traveled from one piece

Sakamaki, with a pressed felt hat and high collar obscuring the upper and lower halves of his face respectively, sat on a chair that Lance had somehow procured.

He inserted the USB drive that Su Sheng had brought into his laptop and began to read its contents carefully.

"This is amazing, truly amazing."

This time, Sakamaki wasn't deliberately acting; he was genuinely expressing his admiration.

He had previously heard about the "Technical Machine" from Su Sheng.

However, he hadn't expected Su Sheng to actually create this thing.

Perhaps only the Poké Ball could narrowly surpass it in terms of practicality.

Any company that possessed this would immediately become a giant enterprise comparable to Silph Co. or the Devon Corporation!

"Did you invent this?"

Sakamaki glanced sideways at Su Sheng.

"So what if I did?"

Su Sheng retorted with an unfriendly tone.

"You brat, watch your tone! You're speaking to the leader of Team Rocket!"

Zao Bo, the Durant of the Pokémon world, immediately pledged his loyalty, scolding Su Sheng while flattering Sakamaki.

"Silence."

Sakamaki sternly stopped Zao Bo.

Zao Bo was startled but dared not say anything, retreating sheepishly.

Then, Sakamaki, with his legs crossed, began to explain slowly:

"Originally, my plan was to take over the Aether Foundation and make it Team Rocket's 'stand-in' branch in Alola. Therefore, anyone who knows about Team Rocket's operation this time should be executed on the spot."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Team Rocket members revealed fierce expressions.

As long as Sakamaki gave the order, they would release their Pokémon and dismember everyone present who wasn't a member of Team Rocket.

Sakamaki raised his hand to signal his subordinates to calm down. Even with his face obscured by the high collar and hat, one could still detect a smile in his tone.

"But unexpectedly, coming to this rural place, I was able to unearth such a treasure."

"Young man, become my subordinate."

Sakamaki reached out to Su Sheng, making an inviting gesture.

This action immediately reminded Su Sheng of Whitebeard's catchphrase from his previous life.

"With such a mind, it would be a pity to die now. Why not join Team Rocket and turn this world upside down in the name of Team Rocket?!"

It must be said that Sakamaki's eloquence was quite good.

This was also one of the purposes of Sakamaki's plan this time, to take this opportunity to reveal his identity to Su Sheng.

"...What if I disagree?"

Su Sheng retorted.

"A Sheng! Don't!"

Before Sakamaki could answer, Lihua was already terrified.

Big brother, have you forgotten that your head is still being held by Nidoqueen!?

"Oh? Not afraid of death, huh? You've got guts!"

Sakamaki smiled slightly, his gaze shifting.

The next second, that Beedrill appeared eerily between Itsuki and Lihua, its two sharp stingers pointing at them.

"Don't you care about the lives of your companions either?"

"Bastard!"

Lihua was so angry that she almost ground her silver teeth to dust.

"Damn it..."

Itsuki also wore a look of unwillingness.

"...Let them go, I'll join."

Su Sheng took a deep breath, putting on an expression of "I'll bear it all alone."

"A Sheng..."

Lihua and Itsuki's expressions were unwilling yet ashamed.

Sorry, it's all because of us...

"I like talking to smart people like you."

The corners of Sakamaki's mouth under the high collar curved up another three points, and he stood up from the chair.

"Come, young man, let's talk about your future work and treatment within Team Rocket."

As he spoke, Sakamaki beckoned to Beedrill.

Upon seeing this, Beedrill immediately withdrew its stingers.

Sakamaki then beckoned to Su Sheng, signaling him to follow. Su Sheng walked beside Sakamaki, and the two strolled to the port of Aether Paradise.

After confirming that there was no third person around, Sakamaki took off the felt hat on his head and folded down the high collar, revealing his true face.

"Knowing my true identity, are you very surprised? A Sheng."

Sakamaki chuckled.

"A little, but not much."

"Oh?"

"Although you're disguised quite well, Uncle, you still inadvertently showed disdain for the League when chatting with us. At that time, I guessed that you might have done some dirty work in secret, but I really didn't expect you to be the leader of Team Rocket."

Su Sheng shrugged.

"Hehe~ I think it's about time I told you my true identity anyway."

Sakamaki smiled even more, half-jokingly saying:

"This time's harvest is plentiful, isn't it?"

"Ah... From today onwards, the Aether Foundation will become Team Rocket's Alola branch. Even if the headquarters in Kanto is destroyed, everyone can move to Alola. Moreover, the profits from selling Technical Machines in the future will all belong to Team Rocket. We'll make a killing."

Su Sheng nodded.

In the game, Sakamaki occupied Aether Paradise and transformed it into a temporary base for Rainbow Rocket.

Moreover, the traitor was Zao Bo.

In a sense, this can be considered a premature staging of the future.

"No, what I mean by harvest is from your perspective."

"Me?"

Su Sheng turned to look at him.

"Didn't you notice the way that gray-haired little girl looked at you? Haha~"

Sakamaki teased with a smile:

"Especially when you said you would replace her as a hostage. To be honest, I'd think it was abnormal if she didn't give you eight children in the future."

"She was so scared by your Nidoqueen at the time, didn't you see?"

Su Sheng said unhappily.

That was probably the first time Lihua personally experienced the taste of "death."

If he hadn't exchanged her from Nidoqueen's hands, then the place where Lihua was sweating might not have been her face, but...

Well, don't ask Su Sheng how he knew.

Sakamaki's smile remained, "But plans really can't keep up with changes. Originally, I wanted to use Lusamine as a hostage and then have you come to save her, so that I could gain Lusamine's favor, but unexpectedly, the one who gained affection in the actual operation became that girl..."

Sakamaki said here, and Su Sheng couldn't help but smile.

Of course, he was also happy that his relationship with Lihua could become better.

After all, not to mention the future, the current Lihua is also a genuine little beauty.

Although Su Sheng wouldn't be so beastly as to make a move on the current Lihua, what's wrong with the relationship becoming better?

He wasn't the kind of guy who said, "The most important thing about liking her isn't possessing her, but finding a way to make her happy."

"What are you planning to do next, Uncle?"

Su Sheng changed the topic and asked.

"I plan to set up a company to specialize in selling the Technical Machines you manufacture, in order to solve Team Rocket's funding problems."

Originally, Sakamaki also thought about hiding the Technical Machines and letting Team Rocket's internal personnel use them to improve Team Rocket's overall strength.

But Sakamaki soon realized that although the Technical Machine's effect was heaven-defying, it was ultimately just saving training time and learning high-power moves faster.

For example, if Zoro from the East Sea era had his two ordinary katana replaced with Supreme Grade Swords, would he be able to win against Hawkeye?

Learning high-power skills is certainly important, but for the overall strength of Pokémon, it can only be considered the icing on the cake.

If you really want to become stronger, you still have to cultivate step by step.

So Sakamaki felt that it was more cost-effective to use it to make money.

"Okay, what's the name of the company? Rocket Company?"

Su Sheng asked casually.

Sakamaki touched his chin, "I plan to call it 'Silver Sheng Company,' what do you think, A Sheng?"

Su Sheng:…

Silver Sheng, isn't this probably taking one word each from the names of me and your son Silver and combining them?
