Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Then, Tokugawa reported some other information to Yang Ming, but they were all unimportant details.

"By the way, Boss, have we completed this mission?"

"Well, it's done. If nothing unexpected happens, both of us will be promoted this time," Yang Ming looked at him puzzledly, "Why, didn't Miss Feng Lu mention it to you?"

"No," Tokugawa shook his head, "Miss Fenglu has not mentioned anything about Emperor Yan since she came back."

"Is that so?" Yang Ming nodded slightly, and a warm feeling rose in his heart.

After returning to his room, Yang Ming handed over the hair of Emperor Yan to the headquarters and submitted a report on the war.

The superiors did not respond to the contents of the report, but instead directly distributed all the rewards.

Yang Ming no longer cared much about the 20,000 points. What he really cared about was the reward, which was the skill machine called Boiling Water.

Boiling water, this water-attribute skill can bring about a burning effect. The redemption authority and points required are also very high. Normally, at least level six elite authority is required to redeem it. If the level is not high enough, you cannot redeem it even if you have points.

"I have three water-attribute Pokémon: Slowpoke, Swamplord, and Venomancer. If any of them learns this skill, it will be a huge boost." Yang Ming thought.

In addition to points and skills, Yang Ming also successfully advanced to the fifth-level elite. His monthly points income increased from 15,000 to 50,000, and he would never be short of points again. His adjutant Tokugawa was also promoted to the second-level member.

"A level five elite is already at the department head level in the Rockets. He is definitely a big shot." Yang Ming continued reading and found that there were new comments about his fate.

"What? You want me to go to the Manjin branch to be the deputy director there?" Yang Ming's face was gloomy.

Generally speaking, the heads of the Rockets' major branches are level 5 members, and the deputy heads are level 4. However, the Manjin branch is different. As the largest branch in Chengdu, the head there is a level 6 elite, and the deputy head is level 5.

The deputy director of the Manjin branch is basically equivalent to the director of other branches.

The real trouble lies in the fact that the current head of the Manjin branch, Buri Iwano, is not only a close confidant of Bixias, but is also hostile to people like him who are from Kanto.

"It seems that I have to get to know my future boss better first." Yang Ming said to himself as he flipped through various materials.

Last time, in order to chase the legendary Pokémon, Tokugawa also bought the information of some masters, so Yang Ming easily found the information about Buri Iwao.

Buriyan, 36 years old, a native of Johto, traveled around as a trainer when he was young, and won the top 32 in a Silver Tournament. Then he suddenly disappeared, and there was no news for more than ten years.

When he reappeared, Buriyan had become a wealthy man. He established the Buri Group in Manjin City, and its businesses were spread throughout Manjin City. The largest industries were Manjin Department Store and Manjin Game Hall.

Buriyan has very good political and business relations in Manjin City, and has a close relationship with Manjin City Mayor Basque. In contrast, there have been voices of discord within the Buri Group recently. According to gossip, his two deputies seem to be at odds with him...

"So that's how it is. This Wuliyan man is quite a capable person," Yang Ming commented.

Buri Iwano used the identity of a businessman to whitewash himself, and at the same time actively managed his network of relationships in the white world to create a protective umbrella to cover up his identity as a member of the Rocket Team.

In a sense, this coincides with Yang Ming's idea. After all, the identity of a member of an underground organization is not to be seen in public. As soon as one shows up, everyone will condemn him. However, by putting on a glamorous identity, one can not only step out from behind the scenes to the front, but also do some shameful things under the cover of this identity.

That's why Yang Ming actively established his own persona as a "zealous and righteous trainer" after arriving in Johto, making friends with gym owners everywhere, and even establishing relationships with the league's investigators. His purpose was to make the two identities, both in public and in private, coordinate, so that he could utilize the league's network of relationships and the Rockets' resources at the same time, putting his own development in the most advantageous position.

After reading Wu Liyan's information, Yang Ming looked through his registration information in the Rockets. After comparing the two, he made an astonishing discovery.

"There's a problem with the timing. He didn't join the Rockets during the time he disappeared," Yang Ming thought to himself. "Interesting. It seems that this person had joined other organizations before joining the Rockets."

"Are the two deputies of the Buri Group the vice ministers of the Manjin Branch? It seems that the Buri Group is the public identity of the Manjin Branch."

"But these two deputy ministers were also promoted by Bixias. I don't know why they have conflicts with Buriyannan, who is from the same faction as them. No matter what, we can take advantage of the conflict between them when the time comes."

Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Ming felt that he had learned most of the relevant information, so he simply turned off the lights and went to bed.

"The Meteor People, Team Plasma, Team Magma, Pokémon Hunters, Bixias Rebellion, the Full Gold Division, things have been happening one after another recently..."

Yang Ming lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He could ignore the matter of the Meteor People for now, as it would be a matter of a few years later. But sometimes he felt that there was an invisible hand controlling everything behind his back.

He recalled a novel he had read in his previous life that had a setting called "Devil from Beyond Heaven", in which various great masters invested behind the scenes to achieve their own goals.

"Oh no, could I be the so-called demon from outer space?" Yang Ming was shocked, but then he felt that he was worrying about nothing. "How could the settings in other books be applied to me? It's impossible even if I think about it."

Yang Ming simply stopped thinking about this question, but soon other questions filled his mind.

"Although all the major villain forces suffered losses under my manipulation this time, the strongest alliance alone did not suffer any damage. Damn, I always feel a little unhappy."

Although he was unhappy, Yang Ming also knew that it was impossible to shake the alliance at this stage. Unless there was a huge internal strife, the alliance would still be the ruler of the world.

"Perhaps we can use the scandal to weaken the prestige of the alliance? For example, secretly expose the inside story of the hijacking of the Saint Anno? I don't have any definite evidence. Forget it, let's not think about weakening the alliance for now..."

Yang Ming was daydreaming when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door. The footsteps came closer and closer and disappeared when they reached his door.

Yang Ming's expression froze, he grabbed the short knife and Poké Ball for self-defense and quietly came behind the door.

Just as he suddenly opened the door and raised the knife to chop the uninvited guest's neck, the knife raised above his head suddenly stopped in mid-air.

"Feng, Miss Fenglu...?!" Yang Ming showed a surprised look on his face.
