I'm a Pokémon Master from School City (by mistake)

"The harvest can be split 30/70, but you'll need to provide people to help with management and planting."

Peach Berry needs to be planted sooner or later, so it's better to do it sooner rather than later. Instead of planting it in another world, why not plant it directly in the Pokémon world? That way, the risk is lower and the reward is higher.

This way, there's no need to worry about rejection from the world or incompatibility with the local environment. Moreover, there are specialized fruit farmers in this world with abundant cultivation techniques and experience.

In summary, it is always best to plant here first.

Kojiro immediately guessed Chiyo's thoughts and said, "You're not planning to use us, are you...?"

“Using?” Chiyo waved her finger and said, “You were going to do bad things anyway, so this doesn’t count as exploitation. At most, it’s just a win-win situation.”

Anyway, this is something that happens in the plot, and she's just adding fuel to the fire.

Besides, planting trees is also a way to restore the ecological environment.

It's not a bad thing to be a bad guy for a little while.

Chapter Sixty-Two: Doing Bad Things

Route 24 is a dirt road leading to Konoha City.

How would Chiyo describe this world?

The technology is truly advanced; it can even teleport Pokémon through space, and there are many incredible technologies involved.

But what about the world's transportation level?

That's really a complicated situation that's hard to describe in a few words.

You say their technology is advanced, and it truly is; but you also say their transportation is terrible, and it is absolutely terrible.

Or to be more precise, the polarization is quite severe.

The roads within the city are quite good, but once you leave the city, the roads are basically what Mr. Lu described.

There were originally no roads in the world, but as more people walked on them, roads were formed.

This is what Highway 24 looks like.

Dirt road.

It's almost impossible to see any signs of human intervention. If being trampled on counts, then this can barely be considered a man-made road.

Therefore, this type of non-man-made road surface is easily damaged.

For example, right now, a cat is leading a group of silly turtles to dig a hole.

"I really don't know why we have to cooperate with these guys," Meow Meow muttered softly.

For Meowth, persuading Squirtle to cooperate with him was not difficult. With Chiyo's intimidation first, Meowth used the remaining food as bait, and what he did was not something that Squirtle would hate.

It is naturally very easy to reach a cooperation agreement.

According to the plan, Ash and his group will pass through here. All we need to do is dig a trap along the way and wait for Ash and his friends to come.

In the distance, aboard a hot air balloon, Chiyo was observing the terrain with binoculars.

The area is mostly hilly, with numerous streams meandering through the hills, providing abundant water resources and large tracts of virgin forest.

"What a wonderful place!" Chiyo remarked.

It must be said that the natural environment in the world of Pokémon is truly quite excellent.

Primeval forests like these are almost everywhere.

"It's a pity that it will be gone soon."

The speaker was a middle-aged man.

He was dressed in a suit, wearing a monocle, and using a very elegant single-pass telescope to observe the terrain.

In the words of my past life, it was a completely capitalist style.

He looked at the forest without a trace of pity and said, "Some areas need leveling. We can build some irrigation canals from here to here. Hmm, it's a region with abundant water and soil resources, which can be well developed..."

The man watched while muttering plans to himself.

Chiyo didn't say much; she only knew that this person was one of Team Rocket's major financial backers.

In fact, a very important reason why the Rockets were able to expand rapidly and extend their reach beyond the Kanto region is that they have connections in both the legal and illegal worlds.

This is something rarely shown in games and anime.

Team Rocket is a criminal gang that is targeted for crackdown in the Kanto region, but it has been repeatedly suppressed because it has cooperation with government officials or other capital.

For example, right now, this man is a well-known capitalist in the area who has long wanted to acquire the town that Xiaozhi will pass through and develop the surrounding land resources. However, the acquisition plan has not gone smoothly, as many people are unwilling to move away for various reasons.

As a respected figure in the area, the man couldn't very well order his subordinates to carry out illegal demolition work.

At this moment, Chiyo's thoughts became the man's greatest support.

With the help of the Rockets, Chiyo quickly got to talk to this capitalist.

Chiyo devised a plan to drive away the last residents of the town, and then the man would come forward to buy the land. Chiyo would also receive a portion of the land, and she would then use her own money to buy another portion of the land from the man to grow peaches.

As for subsequent management and the manpower needed for planting, a plantation was also an option in the man's plan.

Therefore, Chiyo can entrust her plantation to this man.

It looks like the capitalist is getting something for nothing, but Chiyo doesn't care.

What she wanted was this new generation of superior peaches, as well as food and antidotes processed from these peaches; she didn't care about anything else.

The seeds were provided by the system, the investment money was generously sponsored by the combative wild trainers and the Skeleton Team, and the real infamy was carried by Team Rocket.

She's the one who truly has zero investment; as long as she makes a profit, she's not at a loss.

"They're here." Chiyo looked through her binoculars at several figures hurrying towards the town on the dirt road.

It was Ash and his friends.

"Oh? Xiaogang joined the team too?"

It's been a long time since I've followed Ash's progress; it seems the story is moving much faster than I expected.

The main characters of the original series are now fully assembled.

"Hmm?" At this moment, the man also noticed the situation over there. He looked through his binoculars at the main group of protagonists who were running towards them without realizing the danger that was about to happen. After observing them for a while, he said, "I really don't know where these poor bastards came from."

"Do we really need to pay so much attention to him?"

“Oh~ my dear Mr. Smaug.” Chiyo forced a smile once again.

But after trying for a long time, I gave up. It seems that my facial paralysis is getting worse in this life.

You can get angry, you can cry, you can feel sad, you can be calm, but you have absolutely nothing to do with laughing.

Even a forced smile made her feel sore in her facial muscles.

After her efforts proved fruitless, Chiyo quickly gave up on this fake smile and said, "If you're going to put on a show, you have to create a trap. There are heroes, villains, witnesses, and people who are moved by it. You know, people have to eat, drink, and relieve themselves to live."

“If you were to appear immediately after the disaster, wouldn’t that be a display of ruthlessness and cunning, and would easily raise suspicions that it was a setup by someone?”

“Tell me,” Chiyo said, leaning against the hanging basket. “If a hero who saves the town comes forward, and after three requests and three refusals, you finally step in out of a sense of responsibility as a local gentry and your feelings for the townspeople to ‘help’ them rebuild their homes.”

"What a wonderful thing this would be! What a beautiful story this would be! Especially when the townspeople erect a statue for the hero, and you're investing in making a movie about a hero saving the town."

"And you, you only did a tiny, insignificant thing, giving the people of the town a job that was enough to support their families."

The man's smile grew wider as he listened.

Capitalists aren't fools; they must have thought of this kind of opportunity to gain both fame and fortune long ago.

But there hasn't been a suitable opportunity, and it's hard to find a hero who can be pushed to the top.

Looking at it now, it's that little boy wearing the red and white baseball cap.

This is simply a godsend opportunity.

One is just passing by, one won't stay here, and one is destined never to know the truth.

"Meow~"

The man couldn't help but say, "I'll be waiting for your good news."

"Hmm." Chiyo took out the walkie-talkie and said, "Musashi, Kojiro."

"How's it going on your end? Hurry up, the actors are all on set, and the props don't break down!"

Chapter Sixty-Three: The Undying Child

"I have to say, that little girl named Misaka is very suitable for this job."

In a pharmacy in a small town, Musashi, holding a submachine gun and wearing a sinister yet cruel smile, said, "I've wanted to do this for a long time."

"Yeah~"

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat~" Kojiro casually emptied a magazine, leaving his masterpiece on the ceiling, and excitedly said, "Now that's more like a master thief!"

"Don't move! Throw all your medicines into this box!"

Even though Chiyo always saw Team Rocket as comedians, they were actually wanted criminals.

Even within the Rockets, they were an inconspicuous team, a bunch of underdogs with connections but no real talent.

But they are still real criminals!

This time, they were authorized by their superiors to use weapons in the robbery.

The two of them went completely wild. Chiyo told them to steal explosives, fuel, and of course, medicine. The two from Team Rocket were clearly getting carried away and seemed to be trying to include other targets in their plans.

Meanwhile, Ash and his friends, who had gotten Pikachu into a bad beating from Goldeen because of their own actions and didn't have any medicine with them, were rushing towards the town.

Then, unsurprisingly, the group fell into Squirtle's trap.

Although the plot deviates a bit, Ash still tries to expose Meowth's lie but fails. He then uses his true feelings and Misty as hostages to get a chance to go to town to get medicine.

"We've been traveling for so long." Meow Meow tugged at the backpacks of Xiaoxia, Xiaogang, and Xiaozhi.

Then, with a look of disgust, he said, "Is that all you have, meow?"

Meow Meow looked up at the three of them, her eyes filled with undisguised contempt.

"You bastard!" Xiaoxia shouted angrily, "You're just a defeated opponent of mine, what right do you have to laugh at me here?!"

The Rockets are like glue, you can't shake them off, you run into them everywhere you go.

Aside from causing some trouble for himself and Ash, he really poses no threat whatsoever.

Now he's being mocked by his own defeated opponent.

Xiaoxia's temper is really impossible to control!

"Meow?" Meow Meow casually tossed the water bottle she had taken out of Xia's bag aside and said disdainfully, "Not to mention you trash, you don't have anything else."

"Are you really not bringing any good healing medicine or anything like that?"

Meow Meow couldn't help but think of Chiyo, whose backpack was always full of various medicines.

Good medicine for wounds, antidotes, various tree fruits and tools.

Although the total amount is not much, it can still be used in emergencies, not to mention her magical, mysterious place where she can carry and store things.

That place is a treasure trove! Meow Meow has all sorts of things, both familiar and unfamiliar, including medicines, berries, magical gems, evolution stones, and other items.

It's no exaggeration to say that with Chiyo by your side, you could challenge even the most powerful Pokémon.

As long as it's not instantly killed, Chiyo's medicine can save it.

Now let's look back at these people.

"Three people's backpacks couldn't even scrape together the cheapest medicine." Meowth looked at Pikachu in the cage with great regret and sympathy and sighed, "You've really suffered, Pikachu."

"I've been working with a trainer like this and a team like this."

Even disregarding her trainer's mysterious and magical place, her backpack alone would certainly not be lacking in healing items.

Even a small number of Pokémon can handle the current situation, and even if they are seriously injured, they can make it to the next town to find a Pokémon Center for treatment.

There will absolutely not be a situation where no medicine is available.

Thinking of this, and then thinking that Chiyo is now its Pokémon Trainer, it couldn't help but put its hands on its hips and puff out its chest, as if Chiyo had given it boundless glory and courage.

Yes, that's true.
