Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Yang Ming picked up the Poké Ball on the ground, looked at the few Poké Balls left in his hand, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, I suddenly remembered that electromagnetic waves can increase the capture rate of Poké Balls, otherwise I would have almost failed."

Since his purpose of participating in this competition has been achieved, Yang Ming has no need to continue searching. He simply returned to the gathering place before the start of the competition and waited for the insect catching competition to end.

Some contestants have gathered here sparsely. Many of them have captured their favorite insect-attribute Pokémon, while others have used up their Poké Balls for the competition and were eliminated in advance.

"What kind of insect Pokémon did you catch? I caught a fur ball."

"I only caught a Metapod, it seems there is no hope of entering the top three."

"I just saw a beautiful figure in a patch of grass, it seems to be a hunting swallowtail butterfly from the Hoenn region."

"Wow, I didn't expect that Pokémon from outside the Johto region would appear at the insect catching competition. Did you catch it?"

"Uh, I used up all my balls..."

"Hehe, I captured the invincible speaker cricket. This time the champion must be me!"

Listening to these people sharing their experiences at the insect catching competition without reservation and talking about the Pokémon they captured, Yang Ming couldn't help but laugh.

If this were in the underground black market, as long as someone dared to reveal that he had good things on him, he would inevitably be targeted by people who wanted to kill people and steal treasures. But here, no one cares about these things. People just share their interests with others selflessly without any impure thoughts.

"Maybe this is what the Pokémon world should really look like. It seems that I have really stayed underground for too long. I should have come to the surface to feel the sunshine."

Jones also came back. From his expression, he also captured the insect attribute Pokémon he wanted.

"Minister, the information of the man named Inoki is indeed correct. I caught a Doi Ninja."

Yang Ming nodded. Although the combat power of Doi Ninja is very weak, it can be split into Iron Ninja and Shell Ninja after evolution, which is also a good Pokémon.

Abi also came back. He caught a Scyther, and compared with Kairos captured by Yang Ming, this Scyther was almost not damaged.

"It seems that Abi is the champion this time." From Inoki, it is learned that in addition to comparing the rarity and strength of the Pokémon obtained in the insect catching competition. The health of the captured insect Pokémon is also an important criterion. During the capture process, the less damage the Pokémon suffers, the easier it is to get a high ranking.

Zhu Mu looked at the Pokémon sent up for evaluation, and was hesitant. According to the normal scoring standards, A Bi should get the first place, but in order to please the young man, he couldn't help but want to "show favoritism".

Finally, under Yang Ming's stern eyes, Zhu Mu shuddered and awarded A Bi the first place award according to the normal standards.

"If this idiot dares to do something unnecessary, I will have to beat him up." Yang Ming's target Jian'ou was originally just a powerful insect-attribute Pokémon. Now that Kairos has been conquered, the first prize Sun Stone is useless to him, so naturally he doesn't want to cause any more trouble.

"Big brother who won the second place, can you give me your Unchanging Stone? I'll exchange it with you for the beautiful empty shell." A teenager asked Yang Ming to exchange items.

Yang Ming nodded. Although the Stone of Immutability was the reward for the second place in the Insect Catching Competition, it had no effect on him. On the contrary, the Beautiful Shell could be used to counter some powerful characteristics such as stepping on shadows, which was also a good thing.

After exchanging items, Yang Ming went up to chat with A Bi. They had known each other in the Interconnection Cave, but they never met again after Yang Ming left the town of Cypress.

"I didn't expect Mr. Yang Ming to be an executive of a large enterprise in Manjin City. I really didn't expect it."

"What are you talking about? I'm just an ordinary office worker now." Yang Ming smiled.

"By the way, I heard that a fossil expert from Kanto is visiting Kikyo City recently. Mr. Yang Ming, didn't you get a fossil in the Alufu ruins? Why not go to Kikyo City to have a look? Maybe you can revive the fossil in your hand."

This news was really useful to Yang Ming. Since he got the fossil in the Alufu ruins, Yang Ming has been looking for ways to revive the fossil, and even tricked Fenglu into taking him to several cities for this purpose.

However, since there are no experts in this field in the entire Chengdu area, Yang Ming has not revived the fossil until today.

Now A Bi's reminder has given him a clue.After Yang Ming thanked A Bi solemnly, he drove to Kikyo City.

Arriving in Kikyo City, Yang Ming went to Kikyo Gym as soon as possible. Hearing that Yang Ming was coming in person, Kikyo Gym Master A Su came to greet him in person.

Ever since Yang Ming helped solve the missing children case and jewelry robbery case in Kikyo City at the Alufu Ruins, he and Kikyo Gym Master A Su have had a very good relationship. In addition, Manjin City and Kikyo City are not far apart, so the two sides have become familiar with each other.

"To be honest, the fossil expert you mentioned is a friend of my father's in the past. He is now in the Alufu Ruins." After hearing Yang Ming's purpose, A Su took the initiative to take him to see the fossil expert.

"Alufu Ruins?" Yang Ming's heart skipped a beat. That is not a safe place.

"Don't worry, it's not the Alufu ruins leading to the interconnected cave, but the Alufu ruins on our side of Kikyo City," Asu said with a smile, "There's nothing dangerous there."

Sure enough, as Asu said, there were no signs of wild Pokémon activities at the Alufu ruins on the Kikyo City side, but some researchers were seen here.

The fossil expert was a middle-aged man who didn't care about his appearance, with a messy beard on his face.

"Please go aside, don't disturb me from studying the ancient Pokémon in the Johto region," said the dishevelled middle-aged man, waving his hand impatiently at Yang Ming and the other two. "My nephew, the discovery of fossils at the Alufu Ruins is big news in the academic world. I don't have time to play house with your friend."

Facing this old acquaintance of his father, Asu had no other choice but to smile bitterly and said, "But uncle, my friend's fossils were found at the Alufu Ruins."

"What?!" As soon as these words came out, the fossil expert jumped up excitedly, grabbed Yang Ming's collar and asked, "Young man, is what my nephew said true?"

"That's right, it was indeed found at the Alufu Ruins." Yang Ming was stunned, thinking that this reaction was too big.

"Okay, no problem, I'll help you revive this fossil right away," said the fossil expert cheerfully, "but you just need to spend a few days cooperating with our research, is that okay?"
