Pokémon: Pikachu Bonds

"Boss Ban...Boss Banmu, do you mean that we will get a promotion and a raise?" Kojiro asked excitedly.

"That's right~ I hope you won't let me down again." Banmu said seriously.

Kojiro, Musashi, and Meow Meow were delighted when they heard this, and they quickly replied, "Don't worry, we will definitely not let Boss Sakaki down."

You have to know that Kojiro, Musashi, and Meowth have been in Team Rocket for eight years, not only have they not been promoted, they have even been expelled from Team Rocket.

This time, not only did they get a promotion and a raise, but they also received treatment that only cadres could enjoy. Kojiro and the other two were so excited that they even secretly made up their minds to fight for Boss Banmu...

"Well~ go ahead~ let Team Rocket become famous all over the world, and let all evil organizations know that our Team Rocket is the strongest evil organization in the Pokémon world." Banmu said lightly.

"Boss Itaki, just leave it to us."*3, Kojiro, Musashi, and Meow Meow patted their chests and promised at the same time.

Then Kojiro and the other two turned around and left...

Itaki murmured as he watched the trio leave: "Having said that... the reality is that the chairman of the Sasaki Group, the chaebol behind Kojiro, found me and donated hundreds of billions of Alliance coins to Team Rocket. His purpose was to let me take good care of Kojiro."

"Just two Pokémon and a so-called promotion and salary increase can be exchanged for hundreds of billions of Alliance Coins and the long-term support of the Sasaki Group. It's a bloody profit."

"But I didn't expect that Kojiro is actually a rebellious rich kid. He left the Sasaki Group, which is worth tens of millions of trillions of Alliance coins, alone and went to Team Rocket to be a grassroots player. It's really hard to understand what rich people think."

"You should know that the Sasaki Group is spread across every region of the Pokémon world. It has the financial resources to easily buy the entire Rocket Team. According to reliable gossip, the Sasaki family has even hired several powerful and retired kings and champions as bodyguards."

"As for the authenticity of the news...Back then, a top evil organization, the Ghost Team, wanted to collect protection fees from the Sasaki Group. As a result, the Sasaki Group sent ten kings and five champions to encircle and suppress the Ghost Team, and even spent a lot of money to counter-attack the Ghost Team's second-in-command, causing the Ghost Team to disappear from the Pokémon world..."

"This incident frightened the leaders of those evil organizations and made them feel insecure. Everyone they saw was an enemy, fearing that one of their trusted aides would stab them in the back."

"Since then, every evil organization in every region has an unwritten rule: they cannot provoke the Sasaki Group, for fear that the guy will use a large sum of money to recruit their confidants..."

"As for why those retired superstars and champions would become bodyguards for others? Of course it's because of money. After all, no one would go against money. Besides, raising Pokémon requires a lot of money."

"Meow~" The cat boss lying next to Banmu asked curiously.

"How do you think we should treat Kojiro and the others from now on?"

"Of course, let them do what they want. They can do whatever they want. It's easy to support three losers with the financial resources of Team Rocket. What's more, Kojiro, one of the three losers, is from a wealthy family. As long as he is controlled in Team Rocket, I can obtain endless financial and material resources from Sasaki Group, and even the long-forgotten plan can be restarted." Itaki smiled.

"Meow~" The cat boss seemed to be saying that Boss Banmu is worthy of his name and he thinks comprehensively.

The three of Kojiro didn't know what Itaki was thinking. Instead, they took the Poké Balls in their hands and planned to have a good run-in with Pokémon. Then they used their new partners to snatch Pikachu and give it to Itaki. After all, they couldn't let Itaki down...

Evergreen Forest...

The trees growing in the Evergreen Forest are so lush that there are many places where light cannot reach, making this place a paradise for ghost-type Pokémon, so many ghost-type Pokémon migrate here....

"Lada~"

"Ghost~"

"wave~wave~"

The Pokémon living in the Evergreen Forest looked at the uninvited guests who broke into the forest with some curiosity...

"I didn't expect that there are now many more types of Pokémon in Viridian Forest than before." Riding on Kentaro, Xiaozhi looked in surprise at the Pokémon that were hiding behind rocks and in the grass and peeking their heads out.

You know, in the past, there were only some weak Pokémon like Caterpillar, Pidgeot, and Rattata in the Viridian Forest, but now there are even powerful Pokémon like Haunter and Incubus in the Viridian Forest...

"Pika~" Pikachu nodded in agreement.

Xiaozhi looked at the familiar Viridian Forest and fell into memories...

This forest is full of memories of Xiaozhi and Pikachu. When they first stepped into this forest, they wanted to capture Pidgeot, but accidentally angered Spearow and were chased by its tribe. On the way to escape, they met Xiaoxia...

And when Xiaozhi was about to capture the beetle, he was interrupted by a boy in armor, causing him to lose the opportunity to capture the beetle.

At the same time, Xiaozhi also captured Caterpillar and Pidgeot in this forest...

The caterpillar gradually evolved into Butterfree during its travels and battles. Later, during Butterfree's mating season, it met its beloved pink Butterfree. Under Xiaozhi's persuasion, it left the team to live with it...

"I wonder how Butterfree is doing now? I wonder if I will have the chance to see it again in the future." Xiaozhi couldn't help but think.

As for Pidgeot, it was the second Pokémon that Ash captured after becoming a trainer. However, in order to prevent the Pidgeot tribe from being harassed by the Toucans tribe, he left it in Viridian Forest to protect its race.

Although Xiaozhi promised to come back to pick up Pidgeot after he finished his business, for some reason Xiaozhi forgot about it, so Pidgeot waited in Viridian Forest for seven years.

"I hope Pidgeot won't be mad at me..." Xiaozhi muttered.

"Alas!"

Suddenly, a scream interrupted Xiaozhi's memory. Xiaozhi looked up in the direction of the sound with a little confusion... He saw a wounded Butterfree fighting desperately with three Toucans not far away. There was also a pink Butterfree lying on the ground not far away, and it seemed that its injuries were very serious...

When Xiaozhi saw Butterfree clearly, his pupils instantly dilated and he murmured with some trembling: "Butterfree I didn't expect that I would meet you again..."
