Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

What caught his attention was of course Masao, the elite member of the Rocket Team who came with him. He was leaning against a thick tree, breathing heavily, and looked injured.

Beside him was a man in his thirties, with dishevelled hair and a beard, wearing a very tattered Rocket Team uniform, who was taking care of the injured Masao.

"You are finally here," seeing Yang Ming coming, Zhengxiong's face showed joy, struggling to get up to greet him, but fell down because of the injury on his leg, "I thought you were attacked like me, but I am relieved to see that you are okay. Next, it's time for us to fight back."

"Don't rush to greet," Yang Ming's eyes swept to the disheveled man, "You are Ma Gun, the stationmaster of the Azure City Contact Station who disappeared before?"

The man bowed and saluted, saying: "Reporting to the lord, I am Ma Gun. You are Lord Yang Ming, right? I just heard about you from Lord Zhengxiong."

"We are all brothers, and there is no need to be so restrained," Zhengxiong laughed heartily, "Thanks to Ma Gun this time, I was able to escape death."

"Who attacked you?" Yang Ming asked, "It can't be those two trainers from Hezhong?"

"You really got it right "I was not lucky enough to be grouped with those two people, and they attacked me right away. "

"The man named Tiexian used an ant Pokémon covered with armor. This ant was very fast and had strong attack power, but it was very small. In the dark cave environment, my Pokémon could not hit it at all, and was beaten back by it. "

"And the Pokémon of the woman named Jialing is a bear Pokémon with white fur. It looks a bit like Kuroko, and it is also very powerful. It uses ice cones as weapons. But because its appearance is quite conspicuous in the dim cave, it is relatively not that difficult to deal with. "

After listening to Zhengxiong's description, Yang Ming has guessed the true identity of these two Pokémon-the common steelworm Pokémon in the cooperation area, the Iron Ant, and the ice-attributed Tundra Bear.

Although Zhengxiong, as a native of Johto, is not familiar with the Pokémon of Unova, Yang Ming, as a time traveler, can see the truth from his description.

Masao continued, "I was fighting one against two, and gradually became exhausted, and my legs were injured by them. At this critical moment, it was Ma Gun who suddenly appeared, rescued me, and brought me here."

Yang Ming nodded, but his doubts deepened.

According to his previous reasoning, anyone who entered the Whirlpool Island would eventually be killed by Qingmu Lin and the other two without exception. This Ma Gun's strength is not even at the elite level, how did he survive until now?

"Ma Gun, can you tell me what happened after landing on the island?"

"Yes, sir," Ma Gun bowed, "Since the terrible hurricane began to appear in the sea near Azure City, ships and planes in the entire sea area cannot pass. Azure City is originally a city that makes a living from fishing and tourism. Affected by the abnormal weather, everyone's life is not easy."

"Lady Aoki Rin, the shrine maiden of the Sea God Temple, found me for this reason and hoped that I could help to explore the Whirlpool Island where the Sea God Lugia is."

"And in order to better complete the organization's tasks, I often conduct investigations in nearby seas and islands in an open identity. Now that I have received the commission from the shrine maiden, I will naturally not refuse."

"However, I didn't expect that the water in this Whirlpool Island was so deep."

At this point, Ma Gun's face showed a look of horror and disbelief.

"At that time, I came to Whirlpool Island with my own water-attribute Pokémon. Unlike now, the hurricanes at that time were not as strong as they are now, so it was still possible for a water-attribute Pokémon to enter with only one trainer."

"When I entered the island through the cave on the island with ease, I found that the back of the entire Whirlpool Island seemed to have been transformed. There were many traps on the island, and the Pokémon in the cave were also full of aggressiveness, making it very difficult for me to travel all the way."

"When I went through all the difficulties and entered the deepest part of the island, I was shocked by the scene inside," Ma Gun's lips began to tremble, "There were a lot of corpses piled there, both humans and Pokémon. Judging from the clothes of those corpses, they seemed to be the victims of the crashed planes and ships in these days."

"A group of masked people pushed a cart and transported the corpses on the mountain of corpses away. I followed them quietly, but discovered an amazing secret."

"At the bottom of Whirlpool Island, a huge seabird was sleeping. From its appearance,, it was the legendary sea god Lugia!" Ma Gun opened his eyes wide and described vividly, "And those people placed the corpse in the center of a strange formation in front of Lugia, chanting strange spells."

"After a while, the corpses in the center of the formation strangely melted into a pool of rotten water, and Lugia's body began to gradually change from white to black!"

"The scene was so terrible that I couldn't help but scream, so I was discovered by the group of masked men. I could only keep avoiding the pursuit of those masked men and luckily met the two adults alive."

After listening to Ma Gun's thrilling narration, Yang Ming was silent for a moment, and finally said: "If I am not wrong, the ultimate goal of these people is probably to control and darken Lugia."

"Dark Lugia? ! "Zhengxiong and Ma Gun both showed puzzled expressions on their faces.

It's no wonder that the history of the Dark Dynasty and Dark Pokémon has long been covered up by the Alliance. If Yang Ming had not fought fiercely with Dark Pokémon in the Paulownia Forest, he would not have known the secrets in this regard.

"So that's how it is," Zhengxiong looked grim after listening to Yang Ming's introduction, "I didn't expect there would be such an organization in Johto. No, we can't let them succeed, otherwise it will be a big threat to our Rocket Team."

"The technology of controlling legendary Pokémon can only be mastered by our Rocket Team."

"Yes, I think so too," Yang Ming said, "so we have just contacted the people outside the island. Once we fail, we will use explosives to blow up the Whirlpool Island. No matter what, we can't let the other party succeed."

"Well done!" Zhengxiong agreed, "Even if we all die in battle, we must never let them succeed. "

As he said this, he looked at Ma Gun who was standing beside him and said, "Brother, you have done a great deed this time. If we can finally leave here alive, I will ask my superiors for credit so that you can become an elite as soon as possible."

As for Masao's promise, Ma Gun just smiled awkwardly, and was not as excited as other members of the Rocket Team.

Yang Ming saw all this, and he also noticed that when he talked about blowing up the Whirlpool Island, a trace of panic flashed in Ma Gun's eyes...
