Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Feng Lu, who was outside the door, was also startled. She didn't expect Yang Ming to make such a big scene. "I really couldn't sleep, so I was wondering if you couldn't sleep either..."

"Yeah, I really can't sleep either," Yang Ming nodded, "It's not convenient outside, let's talk inside."

"Please rest assured that I won't tell anyone about Emperor Yan." Feng Lu was wearing thin pajamas and sitting on the edge of the bed, not daring to look Yang Ming in the eye.

"Thank you for thinking so much about me, but I have already let Yan Di go, so you don't have to worry too much about this matter." Yang Ming smiled indifferently and motioned her to relax.

"Ah...ah?! You let Emperor Yan go now?!" Feng Lu opened her eyes wide.

"Yeah, that's right."

"But, but this is a legendary Pokémon..." Feng Lu sighed, "Are you not tempted at all?"

"Of course I'm tempted, but there are always some things that are more important than others." In fact, there was one thing he didn't say. If Yang Ming really chose to take Emperor Yan all for himself, the first person he would kill would be Feng Lu.

"I think there's more to it than just this that's keeping you awake. Tell me everything and I'll see if I can help you."

"Actually, I just had a nightmare. I dreamed that I went back to the time when I was attacked by the Dark Triangle last night. At that time, I wanted to kill them in one go, but my body was completely out of control and I couldn't even use the Poké Ball..."

Feng Lu’s hands were tightly grasping the bed sheets, her knuckles turning white. It was obvious that the kidnapping by the Dark Triangle had left her with a huge shadow.

"I really had no choice at the time and could only let the other party slowly approach me. I wonder what would have happened to me if you hadn't suddenly appeared at that time..."

Having said this, Feng Lu's emotions completely exploded. She threw herself at Yang Ming and burst into tears.

Yang Ming subconsciously wanted to dodge, but in the end he let Feng Lu fall into his arms.

Being suddenly kidnapped by a group of strangers would cause a huge psychological shadow to anyone. Yang Ming understood Feng Lu's feelings very well, so he simply did not dodge or evade, and let Feng Lu throw herself into his arms and stain his clothes with tears and snot.

Yang Ming felt that he was just like a father comforting his frightened little daughter. Of course, the other party might not think so.

Suspension bridge effect: when a person is caught in an extremely dangerous and terrifying situation, she will develop a high degree of trust and affection for the opposite sex who helps her.

Although those stories about brave men and princesses, and heroes saving beauties, are far-fetched, they are actually possible from a psychological point of view.

Yang Ming did not move, and waited until Feng Lu was tired of crying, completely vented her emotions, and fell asleep in his arms. Then Yang Ming carried the sleeping Feng Lu to the bed and covered her with a quilt.

Then he walked straight to the door and opened it. As expected, Tokugawa had been eavesdropping outside for a long time.

"Have you heard enough?" Yang Ming said with a stern face.

"I've heard enough... No, no, Boss, I didn't mean to eavesdrop," Tokugawa said with a smile, "It's just that Miss Fenglu's crying woke me up, so I came to check on the situation."

"I know, so I plan to sleep in your room tonight and use the bathroom in your room."

"Uh... okay then," Tokugawa thought about it and agreed with Yang Ming's idea, "I'll just sleep on the floor."

Yang Ming changed out of his dirty clothes and seeing that neither he nor Tokugawa could sleep, he simply talked to him about the next "official business".

"What? I was promoted?!" Tokugawa was shocked at first, but when he confirmed that he had been upgraded to a second-level member, he could not hide his excitement.

"Hahaha, after being in the business for so long I finally made it!" Tokugawa cried with joy, "I knew that following you, Boss, would be the right path. Boss, I swear to be loyal to you until death! I swear to be loyal to you until death!"

After saying that, he was about to pounce on Yang Ming.

"Get lost!" Yang Ming dodged decisively. "Feng Lu just now made me covered in snot and tears. I just changed my clothes now. I didn't expect you to do the same thing to me."

"Haha, I'm so happy."

"But don't be too happy too soon. I have been arranged to serve as deputy director of the Manjin branch. I have just done my homework and know that this position is not easy. You have to be careful." Yang Ming said seriously.

Then, he gave a brief account of the situation of the Manjin branch.

"After entering the Manjin branch, try to build good relationships with grassroots members as much as possible. This will be beneficial to our future work."

"What about Miss Fenglu?" Tokugawa asked, "Aren't you going to take her with you?"

"I plan to say goodbye to her tomorrow," Yang Ming said solemnly, "Without her help, I would not have been able to complete this mission so smoothly, so I don't want to put her in danger anymore."

"I think that's a pity," Tokugawa said with regret, "Miss Fenglu is quite powerful, and her flying Pokémon can also bring us great help. And even I can see that she has a crush on you. Keeping her by our side will be a great help to us."

"Of course I know this," Yang Ming said seriously. "If it's purely from the perspective of profit, I should take advantage of her affection for me and tie her firmly to our chariot. Even more extreme, it would be best to use some sweet words and empty promises to make her obey me wholeheartedly, and then squeeze out her surplus value bit by bit, until I kick her away in the end."

"After all, this is what members of a villain organization are supposed to do."

"But this goes against my principles and bottom line as a human being," Yang Ming looked at the night outside the window, as if thinking about something, "I can never deceive those who are sincere to me. For my enemies, I can do whatever I want; for strangers, I can also make sacrifices depending on the situation; but for those who truly give for me, I don't want to see them get hurt at all."

At this point, he suddenly laughed at himself: "Sometimes, I really feel like I am a fussy person. I am not thorough when being a good person, and I am not decisive when being a bad person."

"Is this the elite of Team Rocket? You're such a fuss!" Tokugawa teased. "But then again, I think your idea is normal. There are not many absolutely pure good and bad people in this world. Most people are just 'gray' between 'black' and 'white'."

"Even those of us in Team Rocket who keep our heads in our belts have our families and Pokémon that we care about in our hearts."

"It's better to say that I'm lucky to be able to follow you, Boss. At least I don't have to worry about you abandoning me at the critical moment."
