You're the only one who knows how to battle Pokémon?

"I order you to quickly bring the young lady and the young master to the bottom floor of the laboratory!"

"The young lady has recalled something horrible. We must clear her memory immediately!"

"But you're going to say this is Lusamine-sama's order! This is a white lie, understand!"

Zaobo spoke fluently and gave orders without taking a breath.

He was domineering in the Ether Foundation and often used his power to bully the lower-level employees. He thought these three people would definitely execute his orders immediately.

But this time he was rejected!

Chapter 24 Team Rocket Trio

"If you can bring her back, you will get a special bonus!"

The three people that Zaobo called were none other than the Rocket trio who worked at the Ether Foundation.

They are the Team Rocket trio that can do everything except catch Pikachu.

Although they are in an evil organization, they have always considered themselves to be "villains who implement love and true evil" and look down on Zaobo's behavior of trying to find out other people's memories.

"We refuse!" Musashi, Kojiro, and Meowth said in unison.

"Erase memory? What a joke!" Musashi was the first to vent his dissatisfaction, and his whole body seemed to be burning with flames!

"That's it! (Meow!)" Kojiro and Meow Meow echoed, not to be outdone.

"Listen to me! Whether it's people or Pokémon! All kinds of things happen every day!"

“Even if they are just trivial things, they can accumulate into precious memories!”

Kojiro was also filled with righteous indignation, and followed Musashi to express his dissatisfaction.

"Oh! For example, the cake I ate on my birthday when I was a child, the color, shape, and sweetness of the cake, and the mood when I blew out the candles..."

"It's more important to keep that memory in mind than anything else!"

"Meow, you are the 'villains who carry out love and true evil'. Your approach is not elegant at all!"

"Let's go! Xixi!" Sure enough, Wen also jumped out.

"Damn it! He's clearly a new employee at the lowest level! Yet he treats his superiors like this!" Zaobo was obviously a little furious.

"Don't even think about passing the probation period! If you want to become a regular employee, forget about it!"

"Heh." The three members of Team Rocket smiled slightly.

Working at the Ether Foundation was originally a stopgap measure, and I just wanted to buy some gifts for Wear Bear.

Their job is to be the Rocket Team that will rule the world in the future! Their goal has always been to become the executives of the Rocket Team!

A mere cadre of the Ether Foundation? Pah!

If they have to do something that doesn't fit their villain aesthetic, then the Aether Foundation might as well not work for them!

Thinking of this, the three men and the god threw down their hats at the same time, then turned and left!

"Let's go! Let's go back!"

"It's better not to stay at this Ether Foundation!"

They showed such strong courage and resigned so decisively that even Zaobo was shocked.

"Tsk! Humph!" Zaobo angrily stepped on the shadows of the three people, feeling extremely unhappy.

He is just a new probationary employee, why is he so arrogant? He is destroying his own job.

You know, even in Alola, where resources are abundant, becoming an employee of the Ether Foundation is still the dream of many people, because it offers the best treatment.

"Even if no one helps, I can handle the young master and the young lady by myself. After all, I am the top person in charge in this research laboratory of the Ether Foundation!"

He would not forget how embarrassed he was when fighting Ji Bei last night, so he planned to make more preparations.

At the same time, Ji Bei and his group were following Xin Ye Miao to explore the way.

"You seem to be familiar with this place?" He became more suspicious of his Pokémon.

Could it really be a reborn cat? Even Gladion is not that familiar with this place!

"Sorry! My childhood memories are too long ago, and this place has always been an important place for the Aether Foundation. I don't have much chance to come in and survey it."

"It's already the limit to recognize that this is where Liliae was attacked. There's no way I can recall the specific route!"

"It's okay, it doesn't seem to be a big problem." Ji Bei comforted: "Xinye Meow knows the way."

Liliae didn't understand: "Why does it know the way? Could it be that you have actually been here before?"

"Maybe it has a particularly good sense of direction." Ji Bei glanced at the ceiling and started pretending to be ignorant.

"Look at Gladion. He's not confused at all."

"What's there to be confused about? The bond between a trainer and Pokémon is enough to transcend time and space. It's normal for them to recognize the road, right?" Gladion said shamelessly and confidently.

“No, I think your understanding of common sense is completely flawed.” Nangong Ye complained faintly.

"'Common sense' shouldn't be discussed by a psychic like me, but your perception is really too outrageous."

"There has to be a limit to bonds!"

The place Xinye Miao was going to was not the laboratory, but Zaobo's office.

It knew very well that the best way to restore Liliae's memory was to unlock the mask of SilverBeast and allow it to defeat Zaob's Pokémon in battle.

For this you need a key.

After all, if brute force is used to destroy it, the Silver Companion Beast is likely to be injured, because the mask made of technology greatly limits its strength, which may be accompanied by great risks.

If given a choice, Xinye Miao still doesn't want his companions to take risks.

As luck would have it, the group of people who were doing their business bumped into the three members of Team Rocket who were preparing to go back to sleep.

Because they took off their hats and part of their disguise was removed, Ji Bei recognized them.

Isn't this the Rockets trio? They came at the right time.

"Hey, the three people over there, come here!"

He immediately called out to the three of them.

Musashi, Kojiro and Meow Meow were still angry because they would not get paid for their 29 days of work because they had voluntarily resigned.

Tomorrow is payday!

hateful!

"Where are you from, leader? Do you know who we are? Do you have the right to tell us what to do?"

Musashi, who was in the lead, said unhappily.

Gladion's heart skipped a beat. Since this was the research laboratory area, the high-ranking member of the Aether Foundation was most likely Zaob's confidant.

Ji Bei was a little impulsive when he called them directly.

"Could it be that he is a member at the deputy cadre level?" he guessed.

"Hahahaha..." The three members of Team Rocket laughed, and then immediately stated the truth.

"We are probationary employees who just resigned! Even if the chairman comes, he can't order us around!"

"Understand?"

God damn, you just resigned employee! It is true that no one has the power to tell you what to do! But isn’t this still the important place of the Ether Foundation?

Gladion was indeed somewhat shocked. He instinctively felt that these people would be very sticky and capable of causing trouble!

Ji Bei was also amused by the crosstalk of the three members of Team Rocket.

He took out a badge from his arms and threw it to Meow Meow, whose expression changed dramatically in just three seconds.

From disdain to shock, from shock to respect, and from respect to fear.

This is the badge of the Rocket Team! It is made of special materials and has a unique number. Meowth, a veteran of the Rocket Team, will never make a mistake.

In other words, the person to whom they had just spoken rudely was a cadre of Team Rocket, a superior whose power was many levels higher than theirs!

Seeing Miaomiao's expression, Ji Bei asked again: "Do I have the power to order you?"

Chapter 25: The Trio Surrenders

Seeing Meowth's surprised expression, Musashi and Kojiro also came over.

"What's wrong? What is this?"

Their inquiries were met with Meow Meow's "crazy scratching".

"This is the officer's badge, meow!"

"You don't even know this!"

After hearing these words, the two men ignored the pain from the scratches on their faces and showed expressions of shock.

"Doesn't that mean..."

They recalled the words they had just spoken, which were directed at the cadre in front of them.

"This is a huge offense!"

The next second, the three of them half-knelt in front of Ji Bei, showing extremely frightened expressions.

"It is our fault that we were blind and offended the adults!"

"We will obey any order you give us, no matter if it means going through fire and water, or anything else. As long as it is your order, we will obey it."

They were quite perceptive and recognized Lillie and Gladion, students who were actually attending the Pokémon School. They did not directly bring up the name "Team Rocket" or mention Ji Bei's identity as a "cadre".

Ji Bei took the badge returned by Miaomiao and gave instructions:

"Get up, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you, and I didn't expect to meet you here."

"But I do have something to do and I need your help. After I finish the task, you will definitely benefit from it!"

Although they both promised benefits, Ji Bei's words were much more effective than Zaobo's, because these three people were originally members of Team Rocket!

"What are you doing?" Gladion had no idea what Ji Bei was doing. He was actually chatting with the employees who had just resigned at the Ether Foundation.

Wait, you just quit?

How could it be such a coincidence that Ji Bei quit his job just after arriving?

If you think about it carefully, since Ji Bei knew them, doesn’t that mean these people were undercover agents planted in the Ether Foundation from the beginning?

Could it be that those seemingly funny words just now were also secret codes?

So this is ah!

Gladion suddenly realized and admired Ji Bei even more.

Being able to plant a spy in the Ether Foundation is not something that ordinary people can do.

"As expected of Ji Bei!" he even said it out loud.

"You must have misunderstood something again." Nangong Ye looked at this cool young man and felt that he was really stupid.

With Ji Bei's character, how could he possibly make any "preparations for a rainy day"? He always takes one step at a time.

However, he seemed to be very lucky and was able to turn danger into safety every time at critical moments.

"Anyway, take me to Zaobo's office first. I want to see if there is any way to remove the mask of the Silver Companion War Beast."

If you want Liliae to fully recover her memory, just seeing her wearing a mask may not be enough. It would be better to see her in her real appearance.

Moreover, that mask seemed to greatly restrict the Silver Companion Beast's abilities, and it must have been very uncomfortable to wear.

"Got it!" The three of them bowed slightly and showed a gesture of accepting orders.

Then, they began to lead the way, talking in low voices.

"The cadres are also trying to make trouble for Zaobo! That guy is really annoying."

"But now that the cadres have taken action, his fate will definitely not be good!"

"After all, what is the 'reward' that the cadres are talking about? Could it be that they are promoting us to be branch heads?"
