Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

After sitting on the Armored Bird, Yang Ming felt like he was flying in the sky like a gust of wind. The journey that would have taken several hours to complete was now completed in 20 minutes.

The only drawback was that it flew too fast, which made him a little airsick.

But anyway, with Fenglu as a new teammate, their future actions will be much more convenient.

"By the way, what does Miss Fenglu do now?" Yang Ming asked.

"I'm a pilot. I flew to Chengdu by myself."

"What about your plane? Why didn't we see it?"

"It crashed halfway, and then I took Pokémon to complete the rest of the journey." Fenglu said nonchalantly.

This is too explosive! Yang Ming and Tokugawa were complaining in their hearts.

Then the three of them chatted for a few more words. Fenglu was a lively and outgoing girl, which made Yang Ming know more about the gym owners in this world.

It turns out that in this world, gym leaders do not use their full strength when facing challengers, but will send out Pokémon of corresponding levels according to the challenger's strength. And you don't necessarily need to defeat the gym leader to get a badge. Sometimes, as long as you get the gym leader's approval, you can get a badge even if you lose.

In addition, gym leaders are not full-time jobs. Many gym leaders are not in the gym all year round. For example, Denji, the owner of the Binhai Gym in the Sinnoh region, has been playing badly all year round and casually giving badges to challengers.

"I really envy Mr. Denji," Fenglu said in an envious tone when talking about Denji: "If I become a gym leader in the future, I will also give badges casually like him."

No, you have a sense of responsibility! Although he had complained about this behavior in his heart, Yang Ming didn't say anything on his face. Instead, he asked about the assessment criteria for being a gym leader.

"The assessment standard is based on strength," Feng Lu explained, "Generally speaking, the strength requirements for newly appointed young gym leaders will be lower, while those for senior gym leaders will be higher."

Yang Ming understood clearly. No wonder among the gym leaders he had seen, Ma Zhishi was already at the quasi-king level, while Asu, A Bi and Xiao Qian were only elite trainers. It turned out that the difference between them was here.

However, those young gym leaders also have a promising future. It is estimated that they will reach the level of Ma Zhishi in a few years.

"In addition, the gym leader can still be inherited from the previous generation of gym leaders. Asha of the Kamugan Gym and Asu of the Kikyo Gym are both inherited gyms from the previous generation," Feng Lu added, "After I go back this time, I will also inherit the position of gym leader from my grandfather."

Yang Ming can see that the so-called gym leader is the result of a compromise between the alliance and local forces. The most important factor in determining the position of gym leader is not the degree of diligence, but his strength and relationship with the local area.

As a gym leader, the most important role is to protect one side. Compared to this, accepting challenges and distributing badges are not that important. This also explains why the gym owners he met would take the responsibility of protecting their cities and citizens at the first time. It also explains why so many gym owners "neglect their duties" and do not take challenges seriously.

"In fact, it's no big deal if the gym owner is away from the gym for a long time," Feng Lu said nonchalantly, "In addition to the gym owner, there are other trainers in the gym. They can also accept challenges for the gym owner when the gym owner is away. And there are more than eight gyms in a region, and there is no situation where you can't collect eight badges without challenging a gym."

Yang Ming suddenly remembered the scene in the animation where Xiao Mao got more than a dozen badges before the Quartz Conference.

"But since those gym owners did not give their all when facing the challengers, does this mean that the challengers who got the badges are not actually stronger than the gym owners." Tokugawa interrupted.

As a black household who once dreamed of becoming a normal trainer, he was particularly interested in this aspect.

"Most challengers who can obtain eight badges are not that strong," Fenglu explained, "Since many of them are novices and lack systematic training, the vast majority of contestants in the tournament have not actually reached the level of elite trainers."

"But the contestants who can win the championship are quite strong, and basically can reach the elite level. A small number of veteran contestants who have traveled for many years have accumulated a lot of experience when they win the championship, and can even reach the strength of a quasi-king."

"I also heard from my grandfather that the champion of the Lily of the Valley Tournament in the Sinnoh region a few years ago easily crushed all opponents, and even did not lose to the Sinnoh Four Heavenly Kings. This person refused the alliance's recruitment shortly after winning the championship and disappeared."

"ThisSuch a powerful character, he must have been trained by a certain organization," Yang Ming said with a smile, "It's a bit too scary that he has the strength comparable to that of a superstar right after his debut."

"I still have some impression of this person's name," Feng Lu thought, "It seems to be called something like Dakdo..."

The beast man Dakdo! Yang Ming's heart sank. He didn't expect that there was such a person in this world, and he won the championship of the Lily of the Valley Conference a few years ago. He just didn't know which force he represented in this world.

"We're here, Manjin City is in front."

As Yang Ming expected, the lights and wine of Manjin City soon attracted Feng Lu, making her linger here.

"Yang Ming, Yang Ming, I want this!" Feng Lu pointed to the prize Pipi doll in the Manjin City Game Center and said to Yang Ming coquettishly.

Yang Ming was also not vague. With the slot machine skills he had practiced in the Rainbow City Game Center, he easily earned a large number of tokens.

"For you. "

Then he exchanged the token for a doll and stuffed it into Fenglu's arms.

Then they went shopping in the Manjin Department Store until late at night, when the energetic Fenglu finally got tired of playing.

Seeing that the time was right, Yang Ming quickly booked a room in a hotel and coaxed the exhausted Fenglu to bed.

"Finally, I have dealt with this energetic little girl. Now it's my turn to do something big."

Without taking a breath, Yang Ming and Tokugawa quickly left the hotel and ran towards the sparsely populated suburbs.

"Boss, just leave it to me to find intelligence dealers to buy intelligence. Why do you have to do it yourself?" Tokugawa said puzzledly.

"Our goal this time is not to buy intelligence, but to actively provide intelligence to intelligence dealers," Yang Ming said, "I have an idea that can provide us with a large number of high-quality cannon fodder."

"Although there are many trainers searching for the three sacred beasts, they all act in small groups, just like you and me. "So far, all those who have fought the Three Sacred Beasts head-on have died, so the remaining people do not have a full understanding of the Three Sacred Beasts' strength." "So as long as we take the initiative to leak the information, I believe these greedy people will start to act in groups. At that time, we will have room to reap the benefits." Yang Ming's eyes flashed with a gleam of light.
