Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

The Hinoki Town Pokémon Center was already crowded with injured Pokémon and townspeople. The medical room was already overcrowded, and the medical staff had no choice but to place the less seriously injured in the corridor.

In fact, even the medical staff and medicines were in short supply. Miss Joy was already too busy to direct the other medical staff and she wished she had three heads and six arms. The staff of the Friendly Store were also carrying medicines over to solve the urgent problem.

"I also know some medical skills, so let me help." Xinghe volunteered, wanting to relieve some of the pressure on medical staff.

"Thank you so much," Miss Joy said gratefully.

The owner of the Hinoki Gym was busy in the Paulownia forest, leading the townspeople who were less seriously injured in the aftermath.

"Open your mouth." Yang Ming took out an energy cube from his pocket and fed it to a Jigglypuff who was working hard. After eating the energy cube, the Jigglypuff became much more energetic and called out to Yang Ming a few times to express his gratitude.

After doing all this, Yang Ming felt that he could not help much by staying here, so he left the Pokémon Center decisively.

As soon as he walked out of the Pokémon Center, he saw his lieutenant Tokugawa coming to meet him. This guy was very cunning and only suffered minor injuries when facing those abnormal Team Rocket members.

Yang Ming whispered, "How is it, have you figured out all the information I asked you to find out?"

"Everything is clear now," Tokugawa whispered. "Because I just participated in the defense of the Paulownia Forest, the townspeople trusted me and allowed me to observe the bodies of those people."

"In addition to Team Rocket uniforms, the bodies were also wearing Level 4 member badges. In addition, I heard from a town resident that he had heard from the original witnesses that these people seemed to be destroying the Paulownia forest from west to east."

"However, the witness who initially saw them is still in the ICU due to serious injuries, so this information cannot be confirmed."

"The townspeople have no reason to lie, so this piece of news should be quite credible," Yang Ming analyzed secretly, "They are destroying everything from west to east, which means these people came from the west."

The Paulownia Forest is connected to Manjin City, the largest city in the Johto region, on the west side.

"It seems that these people came from the Manjin branch to carry out a mission, but they were attacked by someone on the way and became like this." Yang Ming pondered.

"You should go back and rest first. Feel free to use the healing medicine in the basement."

"Thank you, boss!"

Yang Ming was feeling the cold wind, thinking about what he should do next.

Now that the tung tree forest is nearly destroyed, the raw materials he uses to make energy cubes have been cut off. He probably won’t be able to run his shop anymore.

However, this is just a small matter. There are two biggest problems now. One is that these level four members died in their own territory, and the people from the Manjin branch will definitely come to hold them accountable.

Judging from the previous situation of Yasan and others, the local Rocket Team members in Johto seemed quite unfriendly to outsiders like themselves.

A bigger problem is that Yang Ming still has no idea who is behind this incident.

In his previous life, Yang Ming also had a good understanding of some knowledge about the Pokémon world, but he had no idea about the skills emitting dark energy that he encountered today.

These skills are extremely powerful and come at the cost of consuming the Pokémon's life. Yang Ming had never heard of them before.

Just as Yang Ming was thinking, an old man came up to him with a cane.

Yang Ming looked up and found that the old man in front of him was Mr. Steel, a master at making Poké Balls.

"You are the hero who protected the Paulownia Forest. I never thought that none of us old guys would be of any use this time. It is all up to you young people to save the temple of the God of the Forest."

The forest god that Mr. Steel mentioned was naturally Celebi.

However, Mr. Steel was also very lucky as he sprained his waist on the way, otherwise there would definitely be one more person lying on the ICU bed.

"I don't have anything else to give you. Here are two Poké Balls that I made before. One is for you, and the other is for the young man from the alliance."

After that, he took out two Poké Balls from his arms, one of which was gray in the upper part and had a heavy feeling, while the other was light blue with a red pattern in the middle.

The gray one is a heavy ball, which can effectively capture heavier Pokémon; the blue one is a bait ball, which has a higher capture ability for Pokémon that live in the water.

"Thank you, Mr. Steel." Yang Ming chose the heavy ball without thinking.

He now has the help of Bulbasaur's magical skill, Sleeping Powder, which can easily capture most common Pokémon, so the bait ball is not very useful to him.

But it’s different with the Heavy Ball. In this world, heavier Pokémon, such as Metagross and Snorlax, are quite difficult to capture. Even with the help of hypnotic powder, it is difficult to subdue them.

However, if a heavy ball is used in conjunction with hypnotic powder, the success rate of capture will be greatly improved.

At this moment, the Alliance Investigator Xinghe also came out of the Pokémon Center sweating profusely. It can be seen that he was also working very hard in there.

When faced with the Poké Ball given by Mr. Steel, Xinghe made all kinds of excuses and spoke a lot of polite words.

"No, no, protecting the people is the duty of our alliance. Old sir, you should take the things back."

Yang Ming was speechless. No, you are trying to refuse and give in even though they have good intentions. You people in the alliance are too hypocritical.

Finally, after a round of refusals, Xinghe still refused to accept the bait ball, which made Mr. Steel so angry that he left in anger.

"I really did this for everyone. It was not my intention to accept gifts." Xinghe said righteously.

"I thought he was just pretending, but I didn't expect he would be serious about it." Yang Ming complained in his heart.

"You must be Mr. Yang Ming, right? I have heard of you from the townspeople in this town. I didn't expect that besides being good at making energy cubes, you are also a formidable trainer."

After Mr. Steel left, Xinghe took the initiative to talk to Yang Ming.

Seeing that the other party had not recognized him yet, Yang Ming shook hands with him as if nothing had happened.

But this is not surprising. During the battle of Mt. Moon, Yang Ming was only a second-level member of Team Rocket. Xinghe obviously would not remember an unknown person whom he met by chance two months ago, let alone connect him with the elite trainer in front of him.

"I wonder what you, Mr. Yang Ming, think of those who destroy the tung tree forest." Xinghe suddenly asked.

"To be honest, Master Abi and I just came back not long ago," Yang Ming said carefully, "I only remember that these people were wearing uniforms similar to those of the evil organization Team Rocket, and they used skills that I had never seen before."

"Of course, I'm just a civilian trainer and have never seen the real members of Team Rocket. These are just my personal guesses, hahahaha."

"Unfortunately, this matter is not that simple," Xinghe suddenly said, "The mastermind behind this matter is not Team Rocket, but someone else."
