Xiaozhi: All the companion elves return

After enjoying a delicious lunch, Xiaozhi and his friends returned to Glass Bottle City.

At this moment, they still have half a day to play to their heart's content, because they have to return to Grape Academy to continue their classes tomorrow.

This brief period of free time is particularly precious, and everyone is thinking about how to make full use of this rare free time.

After Xiaozhi and the others left, Yagami and Team Rocket searched for a long time in the vast Booming Desert, but they still couldn't find any trace of the huge and majestic Fang.

Although Xiongweiya's body was huge, the vastness of the Honghong Desert was beyond imagination, and the dust that was raised from time to time seriously affected their vision.

This desert seems like a huge maze, and every step is full of unknowns and confusion.

"The little brat and the others are missing, and Xiongweiya is also missing. We'd better go back to Ziqin Town." Kojiro said weakly while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

This scorching hot weather seemed to evaporate every bit of moisture in his body, and he felt like he was about to collapse.

"Yeah, meow. Or we can follow the little brats. We can even catch Pikachu if we get the chance, meow." Meow Meow quickly agreed. Its originally clever eyes now looked a little dull due to the heat.

In its opinion, it should either go find Xiaozhi or return to Ziqin Town. In any case, it should not stay in this terrible desert any longer.

"So~Nans~" Sure enough, the old man was nodding repeatedly beside him, and his round body was sweating at the moment.

Musashi and Kojiro nodded in approval. They also thought that they could follow Satoshi and perhaps help him catch Pikachu.

However, the look in Ye Shen's eyes when he looked at them was full of astonishment.

He really couldn't understand where these three members of the Rockets got the courage and confidence from.

You know, each Pokémon in Ash's team is stronger than the other. In Ash's team, Pokémon below the strength of a king are rare.

Each one possesses amazing skills and combat capabilities.

And these three members of Team Rocket, relying on those Pokémon which were not particularly powerful, actually dared to try to confront Xiaozhi and his friends and even thought about catching Pikachu.

Ye Shen really couldn't understand where their almost blind self-confidence came from.

Perhaps it is their spirit of fighting again and again despite failure that makes them always believe that they will succeed one day, or perhaps their desire for Pikachu has surpassed their understanding of reality.

But no matter what, in Ye Shen's opinion, this is an almost crazy idea.

However, the Rockets never seem to be defeated by realistic setbacks. They can always pick themselves up quickly after failure and rekindle their seemingly unrealistic hopes.

This kind of persistence and perseverance may be the source of motivation that enables them to keep trying.

But no matter what, when facing Xiaozhi and his powerful Pokémon lineup, this kind of confidence seems a bit presumptuous.

"Well, Kojiro, have you ever thought about changing to another industry? If you really want to keep a close eye on Satoshi and Pikachu, you may never be able to complete this task in your lifetime." Yashin asked Kojiro this question with some doubt and confusion.

Faced with Ye Shen's question, the three people who were originally a little tired suddenly perked up.

"How is that possible? Give us another year and we will definitely catch Pikachu." Musashi's eyes revealed determination and persistence, as if he wanted to prove that the strength of these three people should not be underestimated.

Ye Shen looked at them and really didn't know where their confidence came from.

He changed the way he put it: "You haven't achieved any results yet, won't your boss Sakaki blame you?"

"Blame us? How could he blame us? Since our boss Sakaki has given us full authority to take charge of the mission of Satoshi and Pikachu, it means he has great trust in us. We will definitely not let him down." Musashi answered without hesitation, his tone full of respect and gratitude for boss Sakaki.

"That's right, Meow. We can definitely catch Pikachu. Besides Pikachu, there are many more Pokémon, and then hand them over to Boss Sakaki." Meow Meow also spoke, his voice full of confidence, as if success was just around the corner.

"I want to ask you a question. How long have you been following Ash and Pikachu?"

Ye Shen wanted to know more about how long their seemingly endless mission had lasted.

Musashi raised his head slightly, lost in memories, thought for a while, and then answered: "Well, it's been about a year or so. We've been following Pikachu since he started traveling. At the beginning, we could easily catch Pikachu, but later it became more and more difficult. But we have caught it many times."

"Have you caught it many times? Then why didn't you hand it over to your boss Sakaki?" Yagami asked. His heart was full of doubts. He felt that when Ash first started traveling, Team Rocket should have been able to catch Pikachu and hand it over smoothly.

"Ahem, well, every time we catch it for a while, and then it's rescued for inexplicable reasons. But we believe that success will always come." Kojiro said awkwardly. Although they had successfully caught Pikachu before, each time it was only a short-lived victory and ultimately ended in failure.

"Yes, success will always come." Musashi and Meowth echoed confidently, their eyes still flashing with determination, as if they had no doubt about future success.

Ye Shen looked around and saw nothing except endless sand and the occasional wild Pokémon.

The barren desert formed a sharp contrast with their persistent belief.

He now has a great interest in Team Rocket. He used to think that it was just a purely evil organization that would do anything to snatch Pokémon, but now it seems to be different.

"That means, if you look at it from the perspective of Team Rocket and your boss Sakaki, you have actually done nothing in the past year or so?" Yagami continued to ask.

"How is that possible!" Musashi denied it loudly and seemed a little agitated.

"In more than a year, we've caught a lot of Pokémon for Team Rocket, okay? And they're all excellent Pokémon." Musashi tried to justify the efforts of himself and his partners.

"Oh, how many did you catch?" Ye Shen really wanted to know how many "a lot" they meant and was full of curiosity about their performance.

"There should be more than ten, but most of them are in our hands now, helping us catch Pikachu, so there should only be a few in Team Rocket." Kojiro answered Yagami's question seriously.

Yagami listened to Kojiro's answer, touched his chin, and began to think.

Only a few Pokémon were caught in a year, and Kojiro was able to regularly get activity funds from their boss Sakaki.

Could this legendary powerful evil organization, Team Rocket, be a charity organization?

"In other words, you only caught a few Pokémon, and traveled around various regions within a year. Not only did you get permission from your superiors, but you also got funds for the activities." Ye Shen said out his analysis and doubts all at once.

"That's right, it has always been like this." Kojiro nodded without hesitation, indicating that it was indeed the case.

Musashi also spoke at the same time: "Any questions?" She looked at Ye Shen with confusion, not understanding why he had so many questions.

Ye Shen was speechless. These guys didn’t even realize the problem.

Ye Shen smiled helplessly and said:

"Let alone a year, if you don't work hard within a month, you will be fired directly in a normal company, so do you understand?"

Ye Shen tried to make them face reality and understand that their behavior would not be tolerated in a normal working environment.

The three members of Team Rocket nodded and spoke together:

"Of course I understand, but we're not joining a company, we're joining Team Rocket." Their answers were simple and direct, as if they were not affected by Yagami's words at all.

Ye Shen looked at their determined yet somewhat naive expressions, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

He originally thought that his words would make them think, but he didn't expect that their sense of belonging and loyalty to the Rockets was so strong that they completely ignored the evaluations and standards of the outside world.

Ye Shen shook his head helplessly.

Perhaps this is the uniqueness of the Rockets trio. They have their own beliefs and persistence. Even if they seem so absurd and unrealistic in the eyes of others, they still enjoy it and keep working hard for their goals.

Perhaps it is this kind of persistence and madness that allows them to stand up again after repeated failures and continue to pursue those seemingly unattainable dreams.

Yagami felt that there must be other reasons, but he didn't know what the specific reasons were. After all, he was not Sakaki, and he didn't have subordinates as "special" as the Rocket Team trio.

Yagami tried to put himself in Itaki's position, wondering what decision he would make for the Rocket Team trio if he were Itaki?

If there is no special emotional bond, or if there is no special story between the two sides, it is definitely unacceptable for these three guys who seem to fail repeatedly in their missions and have little results to keep eating for free on Team Rocket.

"I see you guys are always thinking about catching Pokémon to give to your boss Sakaki. Have you ever thought about getting a powerful Pokémon and leaving Team Rocket to dominate the world? For example, with that huge Earthquake Pokémon, you will be powerful no matter where you are. That would be great."

Ye Shen didn't quite understand their selfless thinking and tried to find out some deeper reasons from their answers.

"How could that be? We must hand over the Pokémon we get to Boss Sakaki. After all, that's why we're out here." Musashi answered without hesitation, his tone full of matter-of-factness.

Ye Shen continued to ask: "What if it is a legendary beast, or a Pokémon comparable to a legendary beast? After you get it, you can even compete directly with Team Rocket. Do you still have to be inferior to others?"

Ye Shen patiently persuaded them, hoping to dig out their innermost thoughts from their answers.

When the three members of Team Rocket heard this hypothesis, their expressions changed instantly, and then they looked at each other.

Suddenly, Musashi, Kojiro, and Meowth spoke in unison:

"If it's a mythical beast, Boss Sakaki will definitely be happier."

When Ye Shen heard this answer, he felt a little confused. What kind of logic was this?

He originally thought that faced with such a huge temptation, the trio would at least have some hesitation or other ideas, but their answer was to put Sakaki's feelings first without hesitation.

But at this moment, Yagami seemed to understand why Sakaki allowed these three guys to chase Pikachu, which was impossible to catch.

Even when faced with such a huge temptation as capturing a divine beast, the first person they thought of was Banmu. Such loyal subordinates are indeed rare.

Perhaps it is this loyalty and pure belief that allows Sakaki to always maintain a certain tolerance and trust towards them.

"Okay, okay, let's go back to Zheqin Town first. We can make plans about Pikachu later. After all, we are not in a hurry."

Ye Shen decided to go back and think about it. The harsh environment in the desert was really unbearable, and he might not be able to come up with a better solution if he stayed there.

"Okay, let's go back to Ziqin Town first."

Then, they boarded their flying Pokémon, Team Rocket and Yagami, and flew towards the direction of Zhaqin Town.

Along the way, the wind whistled in their ears, and their thoughts seemed to drift with the sound of the wind.

When passing through a forest, they found many Pokémon running wildly. This extremely unusual behavior attracted their high attention.

"Warrior Eagle, Flying Dragon, go down and take a look." Ye Shen gave the order decisively.

The two flying Pokémon flapped their powerful wings and flew quickly downwards.

The Pokémon below seemed to be extremely frightened and fled in all directions. Their panic-stricken appearance clearly showed that they had encountered something extremely dangerous.

Just as Yagami and Team Rocket arrived above the forest, two three-wheeled motorcycles quickly drove out of the forest. There were two people in black clothes on each vehicle, and they were holding tranquilizer guns in their hands.

"It's a Pokémon hunter." Ye Shen's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and his face became a little solemn.

He stared closely at the two Pokémon hunters below, his heart filled with anger and vigilance.
