Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

It was only after Jones reminded him that Yang Ming remembered the existence of such a person.

Back then at Yuejian Mountain, Yang Ming was hunted by a female investigator named Elena. After a tough battle, he managed to escape by using an unconventional trick.

But as Yang Ming's strength grew stronger and he encountered more and more masters, the strength of this female investigator was no longer in his eyes.

"So, are you planning to avenge your former subordinate?" Yang Ming asked, "If you can't do it alone, I can help you."

Yang Ming and the people he formed a team with were basically temporary teammates with no friendship, so he had no feelings for the Rockets members killed by Elena, and he never thought about revenge for them. But Jones was different, those were his former subordinates, and now that the enemy met, it was natural for him to want to avenge his former comrades.

Elena's parents died at the hands of Team Rocket, so it's only natural that Elena hates Team Rocket; and Jones's brothers died at the hands of Elena, so Jones has the right to seek revenge. The hatred between the two sides cannot be resolved, and it will only end when one of them dies.

"Of course I want revenge, but revenge is meaningless if I don't do it myself," Jones loosened his clenched fist. "I am not as strong as I used to be. It is more important to complete the current mission than to take revenge."

Yang Ming nodded: "I respect your idea. In this case, let's get down to business first."

Soon the three of them arrived at Team Rocket's liaison station in Hinoki Town.

However, due to the impact of the previous war, the liaison station had become a ruin. The stationmaster Ya San was collecting useful items from the ruins with a few of his men. When he saw Yang Ming coming, he immediately bowed and saluted.

"I didn't know you were coming, so I'm sorry for not coming to greet you. I hope you'll forgive me."

"No need to be polite," Yang Ming said calmly, "The basement should not be damaged, right? Let's go there to talk."

"Ah, I didn't expect Lord Bixia to appear here. I was really shocked at the time. I was thinking about whether to reveal my identity to Lord Bixia, and then I saw the Hoenn Champion appear here."

"Fortunately, you didn't rush to reveal your identity as a member of Team Rocket, otherwise you would be in your coffin now," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Well, it's time for me to talk to you about business. Have you seen any red-haired teenagers around Hinoki Town recently?"

"Well..." Yasan fell into deep thought, "There hasn't been such a person recently, but two months ago I did see a red-haired boy about ten years old coming here through the tung tree forest, and finally walked towards the direction of the interconnection cave."

"Two months ago..." Yang Ming pondered in his heart, "In two months, the other party must have gone far away, and I can't catch up with him even if I want to."

"That colleague came to ask you for information about the red-haired boy? Which direction did they go?" Yang Ming could only approach it from another angle.

"Sir, forgive me for being frank, but this liaison station is too remote. Apart from you, I haven't seen any colleagues passing by here in these days." Yasan said with a wry smile.

"Oh..." Yang Ming frowned. It would be very difficult to find silver under such circumstances.

"But speaking of strange people, I have seen two recently," Ya San seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "The day before yesterday, a couple passed by here and stayed at the hotel opposite. I heard something like 'red-haired boy' from them."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked anxiously, "Then do you know where they went?"

"They left the inn early yesterday morning and headed for the interconnecting caves."

"Okay, let's set off immediately!" Yang Ming made a prompt decision. The interconnected caves were as complicated as a maze. Since the two people entered yesterday, he would definitely be able to catch up with them now.

"Jones, let's go. Fenglu, you stay and find a hotel..." Yang Ming looked at the ruined Juniper Town and changed his words, "Just buy a tent and rest here."

After saying that, he took out a few bills from his pocket and handed them to Feng Lu.

Feng Lu didn't take the money, but lowered her head and muttered, "But you guys didn't sleep all night either..."

"Be obedient," Yang Ming touched her head, "Your role is the most important. Only when you have a good rest can we be more confident in completing the mission."

Feng Lu took the money with a red face.

Yang Ming and the other person plunged into the interconnected caves that were like an underground maze.

Although the terrain in the interconnection cave is complex and the wild Pokémon are fierce, this is nothing for Yang Ming who has been to the interconnection cave once.

"Come out, Stinger, Swamp King." Yang Ming sent out the two Pokémon he had captured in the interconnection cave. Sure enough, when the two former kings of the interconnection cave appeared, the wild Pokémon around them dared not approach.

"Swamp King, Poisonous Jellyfish, please help me explore the way." Yang Ming whispered.

Deep in the interconnected cave, a man and a woman looked a little embarrassed due to the harassment of wild Pokémon.

"Damn, the wild Pokémon here are too fierce," the woman complained, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have taken this path."

"You chose this path because you wanted to take a shortcut," the man said sarcastically. "See, I told you that this interconnected cave is as difficult to navigate as an underground maze."

“Then what should we do?” The woman raised her eyebrows. “Are you asking us to give up this mission? You know, the main force has already rushed to the dark cave. If we are any later, we won’t even be able to have soup in time.”

"Oh? The Dark Cave, so that's where you're going?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind them. The two turned around and saw two men standing behind them, and the one who spoke was the younger man.

These two people were Yang Ming and Jones who had been chasing them all the way.

"Who are you?!" The man's face changed drastically, and at the same time, he put his hands in his pockets and tightly grasped the Poké Ball, ready to fight at any time.

Yang Ming smiled and said, "You don't need to know who we are. You just need to answer our questions honestly."

"Pipibi, use your wings to attack!"

"Nidorina, use Bite!"

Knowing that their opponents were up to no good, the man and woman quickly took out their Pokémon and attacked Yang Ming.

However, how could these two Pokémon be a match for Yang Ming? Yang Ming stretched out several tentacles from behind and quickly bound the two Pokémon.

"Stinger Jellyfish, use Surf."

The two bound Pokémon had no ability to dodge. They were instantly engulfed by the waves rolled up by the stinging jellyfish and lost their ability to fight.

The man and woman were not spared and fell into the underground lake under the impact of the waves, and were finally hung up by the tentacles of the poisonous jellyfish.
