Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

When Yang Ming arrived at the location where the smoke was, he found that there were already more than a dozen people gathered there.

These people included both men and women, including the man using Arbok whom Yang Ming had seen before and the short-haired girl whose skirt was exposed.

"Now that almost everyone has gathered here, I'm going to start expressing my personal thoughts." The speaker was a young man, and next to him was a gas bomb, which was emitting smoke to gather everyone here.

Yang Ming also remembered this young man. He was the newcomer who had spent a month persevering in taming the gas bomb.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Tokugawa," the boy said. "I think everyone is already clear about the situation on the island. Because of those giant hornets running rampant, it is now difficult for us to complete the assessment."

Everyone was silent, and it was obvious that this fact made everyone feel depressed.

"However, I have good news," Tokugawa said, changing the subject: "I have discovered the exact location of the token."

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to what he said.

"Can you tell me the exact location?" a teenager asked anxiously.

The others were also cheered up. If they could obtain the token while avoiding the Beedrill's path, they would all be able to pass the test successfully.

"The tokens are on those giant bee hornets," Yang Ming answered the others' questions before Tokugawa could speak. "There are nine tokens in total. A golden token is on the largest one, and the remaining silver tokens are on its younger brothers."

After hearing this, everyone's initially enthusiastic hearts were instantly extinguished.

"Oh, no wonder you were so kind as to tell us the location of the token. It turns out the token is on the bodies of those killer bugs." One of the thin men said dejectedly, obviously very shocked.

"I know this is difficult, but I still hope that everyone can unite and give it a try," Tokugawa did not give up, but continued to encourage everyone, "Although the opponents are large in number, most of them are weak unicorn beetles and iron shell kun, and we have more than a dozen people on our side. If we use the right tactics, we may be able to win."

“But even if we win, what will happen? There are so many opponents, even if we win, it will probably be a miserable victory, right?” The short-haired girl who was exposed retorted, “Maybe a few of us will die, which is too scary.”

Most other people also have the same idea. The risk is too great, so it is better to give up and save their lives.

"But have we really given up this option?" Tokugawa's face was filled with sadness. "My family is not well off. According to the rules of the league, if you want to get a trainer ID, you have to pay huge taxes for ten years. With my conditions, if I don't join Team Rocket, I will never be able to become a trainer. I can only live like a rat in the gutter in this world."

"Although I don't know what everyone's living environment is like, I'm sure it's similar to mine. After all, who would want to join Team Rocket if they were born in a good family? It's only because they're forced into a corner by reality that they want to make a name for themselves in this way."

"So I hope everyone will not give up. For our families and ourselves, we must fight no matter what!"

Dechuan's inspiring speech touched many people. Yes, if there is no other way out, who would join the Rockets?

For example, the short-haired girl was spotted by the gang leader in her hometown, and her whole family was harassed. She had no choice but to flee to Team Rocket, hoping to deal with the gang by becoming a formal member of Team Rocket.

And there is the skinny guy. His parents died early, and his younger siblings at home depend on him to support them. However, due to his illegal status, he can only work illegally, so he has become so skinny now. He came to try his luck recently because he heard that becoming an official member of the Rockets would bring high salary.

Basically everyone here has no way to retreat and can only choose to fight with their backs against the wall.

"And we may not suffer any casualties." Seeing that everyone was inspired by Tokugawa's words, Yang Ming quickly struck while the iron was hot. "I found some good things on this island, maybe they can be used."

After that, he took out a blue orange fruit from the bag and threw it to the short-haired girl, "Your Zubat is injured, feed it quickly."

The short-haired girl took the blue orange fruit blankly and asked, "How do you know my Zubat is injured? Could it be...ah!" She suddenly understood something and her face turned red.

However, when she broke the blue orange fruit in her hand into small pieces and fed it to Zubat, the expression on her face changed from embarrassment to surprise.

"The teeth...are growing out!"

After eating the blue orange fruit, the broken teeth of the Zubat suddenly fell off, and new teeth quickly grew out.

Everyone was amazed at this scene.

The young man Tokugawa who used the gas bomb also cheered up and said, "With this good thing, our chances of winning have increased."

Then, Yang Ming told everyone how he obtained the blue tangerine fruit and its specific location.

Of course, the reason why he was so "generous" was to increase his chances of winning in the subsequent battle with the overlord.

He was about to give up. After all, no matter how strong Lada was, he could not defeat the surging enemies.

But it would be different if there were these dozen helpers. As long as the tactics were arranged properly, and these people's Pokémon entangled the Beetles and Ironclad, and Rattata performed a decapitation operation on the Beedrill, the chances of winning would suddenly be much higher.

Come to think of it, I still have to thank this new guy named Tokugawa, Yang Ming thought to himself.

"In that case, let's go collect some more blue orange fruits!" suggested the thin man.

"I think we can wait a little longer. After all, there are more than 40 people participating in the assessment, and there are only a dozen of us. The others may have been separated. Let's wait until everyone is together before we defeat the Beedrill." Someone else suggested.

Yang Ming shook his head and said, "No, we don't have much time. If we delay any further, the insect swarm will only grow larger and larger."

Then he told everyone about the abilities and secrets of the "dominant Pokémon".

"No wonder there are so many bugs suddenly, it turns out they were summoned by the overlord." The short-haired girl frowned.

"But this also means that as long as we defeat the Overlord, the Unicorn Beetles and Ironshell Kun will disperse." Tokugawa said.

"The skills of Overlord are no different from those of ordinary Pokémon, but its abilities are improved compared to ordinary Pokémon."

Yang Ming continued to explain the abilities of the Overlord Pokémon to everyone. Gradually, Yang Ming became the backbone of the group, and even Tokugawa, the original convener, was very convinced by him.
