Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Since Yang Ming became the acting minister, everything has been going very smoothly. Ling Yin has indeed kept her promise. While keeping the secret for him, she also fully assisted Yang Ming in his work, just like she had assisted Wu Liyan before.

Sometimes even Yang Ming had to admire her dedication, and his lieutenant Tokugawa was able to free up more time to train Pokémon because of this.

However, Xiaoya has made greater progress than him. Her Casey has evolved into Yongjira during this period of time.

Gotu and Mourinho have also behaved very honestly during this period and seem to have faced the reality.

Just like that, after a busy period, Yang Ming finally had time to fulfill his promise.

During the battle on Whirlpool Island, Masao had entrusted his six Pokémon to Yang Ming, asking him to give them to his wife and children who lived in Manjin City. Yang Ming always remembered this incident, after all, if it weren't for Masao's sacrifice, he might not have been able to get out of Whirlpool Island alive.

These days, the disappearance of Mayor Basque and the collective death of his cronies have become hot topics in Mandarin. People are talking about it and speculating about the real culprit behind the scenes and the future direction of Mandarin’s city life.

"I think the deaths of so many high-ranking officials were probably caused by the Hunter Organization. After all, their underground black market in Manjin City was destroyed by the Alliance more than a month ago. These rats in the sewers will definitely take revenge."

"I think it's very likely that the real culprit is Team Rocket. After all, these people have been missing for nearly a year. Who knows what they might be up to."

The conversation between the two critics on TV made Yang Ming laugh. For ordinary people who have never been in this circle, the guesses they made based on a few bits and pieces of information would naturally be completely different from the truth.

Wuliyannan and Basque, two of the top bosses in the black and white worlds of Manjin City, died at the hands of the same person. I'm afraid that Yang Ming will take this secret to his own coffin.

Zhengxiong's family lived in a remote villa. When Yang Ming rang the doorbell, a middle-aged housewife came to greet him.

"Hello." When the woman saw a strange young man at the door, a trace of surprise flashed across her face. But when Yang Ming explained his purpose, the housewife led him into the living room.

"Actually, my husband told me his identity before we got married. He also said that this day would come sooner or later." The woman said softly, her eyes already wet.

"In his opinion, doing this job is like walking on the edge of a knife. No matter how powerful you are, you will eventually fail."

"So he made preparations while he was alive and left us enough money to live on."

Yang Ming understood in his heart. It seemed that Zhengxiong had already arranged his funeral affairs. With his status as an elite trainer, it would be easy for him to leave a sum of money for his family that they could not spend in their lifetime.

"It seems that you and your wife have already made arrangements, so I don't need to say anything more." Yang Ming handed the six Pokémon to the woman, "These six Pokémon are what your husband left behind. I believe they will be able to protect you well in the future."

"But even with their protection, I still suggest that you move out of Manjin City as soon as possible," Yang Ming suggested seriously, "After all, in our line of work, it's hard to say that we won't have any enemies."

"My husband told me the same thing when he was alive," the woman nodded, "I plan to sell the house here and move to Hoenn."

Yang Ming nodded.

Just then, a teenager ran down the stairs. After learning that Yang Ming was his father's colleague, the teenager pestered him and asked about Zhengxiong.

"Uncle, uncle, my father has been on a business trip for a month. When will he be back?"

Yang Ming was a little embarrassed to speak, and when he saw the woman's pleading eyes, Yang Ming swallowed his saliva and said, "Your father went to a very far place to do something very important. He left a message for you, asking you to become an outstanding Pokémon master in the future."

"Really?" The boy's eyes flickered. "In two years, I will be able to become a trainer. Then I will set out on the road and let my father watch me show off my skills at the league meeting."

Yang Ming nodded, and before leaving, the woman thanked him solemnly: "I'm so sorry, we didn't tell him anything."

"It's nothing. Let's take this secret to our graves."

After leaving the villa, Yang Ming received a call from Ling Yin.

"Bullfighter, please come back soon. The old minister's family is coming from the Sinnoh region."

When Yang Ming rushed back to the branch, Lingyin and Manniu were receiving Wuliyan's family.

"You damned bastard, you died such a tragic death! How are we going to survive if you're gone?"

Buriyanan's wife was a noble lady dressed in jewels and was crying loudly in front of his spirit tablet.

Next to her was a girl in a black dress, who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, in the prime of her youth.

Seeing Yang Ming coming back, Lingyin hurried forward to introduce him.

"Madam, this is our current head, and also Master Wuliyannan's sworn brother, Master Yang Ming."

Yang Ming nodded slightly towards the noble lady, "Sister-in-law, I am deeply sorry for your loss."

Lingyin continued, "Lord Yang Ming is Lord Wuli Yannan's best friend, so Madam, you can rest assured. If you and your daughter have any difficulties in the future, just go to Lord Yang Ming."

"Yes, yes, Minister Yang Ming is very capable," the muscular man Manniu also echoed, "He avenged the eldest brother by himself, he can be called a chivalrous man."

The two people seemed to be very familiar with the mother and daughter. After listening to their words, the lady stopped crying and walked forward with her daughter. "My little girl Nanami, why don't you come and meet Uncle Yang Ming?"

The girl raised her head timidly and bowed to Yang Ming, "Hello, Uncle Yang Ming."

"Well, hello." Yang Ming looked at the girl in front of him. The girl was very beautiful, but there was a hint of fear in her eyes when she looked at Yang Ming.

It's like being afraid of a hungry wolf.

This made Yang Ming a little confused. This was the first time he met this girl, so what was she afraid of?

But her mother apparently didn't notice her daughter's emotions.

"Thank you so much, brother Yang Ming." The lady took Yang Ming's hand and said, "I am an orphan and a widow from now on, I hope you can take good care of me."

"Sister-in-law, you are too kind. This is my job." Yang Ming was talking nonsense. "My younger brother and I are sworn brothers. My elder sister-in-law is like a mother. I will naturally take care of my elder sister-in-law like my own mother and treat Nanami like my own daughter."

"Then I'll leave it to you, brother." The lady thanked Yang Ming profusely again.

"It's getting late, sister-in-law, you should go back and rest." Yang Ming helped the lady up, turned to look at Manniu and Lingyin, and said, "Send sister-in-law back to her room to rest."

"Yes, Minister." Lingyin understood and together with Manniu, she led the lady out of the room.

At this time, only Yang Ming and Nanami were left in the room, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
