I beg you female trainers to give me money even if you lose!

—This woman is a Team Rocket executive, but she's been hiding so well in the real world?!

"Most of the well-known dojo masters in the Kanto region are involved, except for Xiaoxia and Xiaogang, who are still relatively inexperienced and don't know much about it."

“...But Naz isn’t much stronger than Xia and Gang, is she?” Yang Xiying also felt that Naz was about the same age as Rita.

Xiao Gang is older than her.

“Because I am a war orphan adopted by Team Rocket,” Sabrina said slowly, while Yang Xiying showed a horrified expression.

—So you really are on the Rockets' side!

"Now it's you, Yang Xiying, who's starting to get nervous. Is the organization you're trying to eliminate Team Rocket?"

Naz gave a meaningful look, while Yang Xiying coughed awkwardly a few times and responded directly to the other side.

"How...how could this be! I'm trying to eliminate those outrageous organizations like Team Galactic Plasma, Team Magma, Team Aqua, and Team Flare."

Compared to all those other groups, Team Rocket, whose sole focus is making money, is practically a breath of fresh air among evil organizations...

Moreover, over this period of time, I've heard about the bad things these guys have done, such as trying to capture legendary Pokémon, stealing things, and caring more about money than life.

—If you don't have money, use Pokémon instead.

This certainly looks terrible, but compared to other organizations it's like a minor evil. The leader of Team Magma in Hoenn intends to expand on land and sea.

So they wanted to borrow the power of the legendary Pokémon Groudon and Kyogre, but they didn't have the ability or the brains to control them.

In the end, Groudon and Kyogre disobeyed their commands and started fighting each other, almost destroying the entire Hoenn region.

Sun, the leader of Team Galactic in Sinnoh, is even more powerful, attempting to manipulate the power of the spacetime god Dialga Palkia to reshape the entire world.

You're a complete lunatic! Who the hell do you think you are, trying to mess with other people's lives? You'll be punished the same as that bastard Wujianlong!

Ghetch, the leader of Team Plasma in Unova, used a high-sounding reason to tell humans to release Pokémon so that they could better rule over humanity.

Yang Xiying hates this kind of two-faced beast the most. What's worse is that this bastard hasn't been brought to justice in the game!

Team Flare's leader, Lionhead, has seen through the nature of humanity and therefore seeks to reduce the number of lives in this world, thus drawing upon the power of legendary Pokémon.

Damn it, they made me laugh out loud. Compared to them, the Rockets are a breath of fresh air. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean these guys are good people.

They speak human language to humans and ghost language to ghosts, and exposing information about other organizations can also cause them to fight amongst themselves...

"You're probably talking about criminal organizations active in other regions. I've only heard about them, but you seem to know a lot about them."

Naz's expression was subtle; this person really knew everything. At this moment, Yang Xiying also planned to sell this organization's information.

"So you want to know about them?" Of course, he couldn't guarantee whether the information was true or not.

But since Sabrina is a member of Team Rocket, he really should run away. Who would want to play couple games with this woman?

"I'm not interested, and I did ask a lot of questions, wasting this precious time."

"...Uh, aren't you with Team Rocket?"

"Yes and no. My main task is to serve as the Gym Leader of Saffron City in Kanto. I would never do anything immoral."

"The only thing we can do in the face of the Rockets' actions is to turn a blind eye."

"What? Are you starting to feel uneasy because I'm part of Team Rocket?" Sabrina said with a playful expression.

“Hmm… a little,” Yang Xiying said, her heart filled with a complex mix of emotions. At that moment, Nazi spoke up, “Then I assure you.”

“I will never hurt you, and the Rockets organization will not do anything to you unless you actually get in their way.”

"...Uh, last time in Dark Grey City they stole fossils, and I robbed them."

"So that was what you did... No way."

"Really?"

"Because this is hardly a loss, and the Rockets' leader is looking forward to the existence of righteous people who stand up for others."

Why...why?

"Because only in this way can one find an opponent who is a villain worthy of oneself."

"Huh?" Yang Xiying was completely lost on Naz's train of thought. "Shouldn't you nip anyone in the bud when they're getting in your way?"

"—This is probably the magnanimity of that lord."

NO.216 Our cadres want to see you!

So, is it really because my heart is too dark...?

Hearing Naz's words, Yang Xiying's expression became somewhat subtle, and then Naz noticed the doubtful look on the other side.

"What? Don't you believe me? How about I let you meet him?" Naz said with a rather amused expression.

"...By the way, what's your position on Team Rocket?" Yang Xiying asked with a strange expression. The person opposite her seemed to know a lot about Team Rocket...

—He looks like a high-ranking official no matter how you look at him.

“The person who adopted me was the leader of Team Rocket,” Sabrina said with a slight smile. “That person is like a father to me.”

"So I've actually hooked up with the daughter of a mob boss?!" Yang Xiying was sweating profusely. Why didn't you say something so important earlier?!

“Heh…that’s an interesting thing to say,” Naz replied with a laugh. “He’s not the only child he’s adopted.”

"He just set up an orphanage, but I was indeed guided by that person to walk my own path."

When Sabrina first awakened her superpowers, she was met with strange looks, fear, and apprehension from others... They didn't treat her like a human being at all...

But that person resolved everything.

"So you can just think of me as a figurehead member of Team Rocket," Sabrina said. "I'll only be in charge of running the Goldenrod Gym."

"—Maintain the stability of this city and Ziyuan Town."

"So when your Team Rocket intelligence department said that a high-ranking officer would come to contact me, you meant you?" Yang Xiying thought of what Leisa Yuhui had said before.

"Judging from what I just heard about you ruining the fossil theft in Pryde City... the evil organization member who contacted you earlier was Team Rocket?"

Naz asked a question in return, and Yang Xiying suddenly fell silent. The other person immediately realized what was going on and spoke after a moment of silence.

"...Yes, so you're the high-ranking officer responsible for contacting me?"

"If it were me, I should have recognized you when I met you, and we would have had plenty of time alone together."

"Uh...you're a better actor."

Yang Xiying's expression was subtle. Her image should have been circulated, but Nazi really looked like she was seeing her for the first time.

“Heh… if I hypnotize myself, I can indeed achieve that effect,” Naz suddenly thought of something and revealed a playful expression.

"so……?"

“I’m sorry, I’m not, because I chose the righteous path,” Nazi shook her head, but Yang Xiying pressed for an answer.

"—Take the white path."

"Although I have been in contact with the Rockets, I don't get involved in their internal affairs, because that would be unfair."

"What?"

"Because the leader of Team Rocket also expects me to become a righteous person who eliminates villains like him."

“…!” Hearing this, Yang Xiying’s expression became even more surprised. He understood less and less about the leader of Team Rocket.

"Of course, I can't do that, because that person raised me and it would be very difficult for me to do that on my own."

"In the end, all I can do is wait, wait for someone who can bring down the Rockets' organization and provide guidance and assistance at crucial moments."

"...Why would the leader of Team Rocket go to such lengths?" Yang Xiying asked, while Sabrina continued to speak.

"Because he was tired of playing villains, he wanted to experience the ending that villains should have, being defeated by a warrior who stood up for others."

“…Although it sounds a bit off, I can’t refute it,” Yang Xiying’s expression turned strange.

—This Rockets leader seems to be tanking…

"For details, you can ask her yourself," Naz said with a smile, and Yang Xiying really started to think about it seriously.

"--If it's my father-in-law, then I really should meet him."

"Get lost. Although he is called father, it's just a metaphor. Don't talk nonsense. Besides, we've been talking long enough."

"—Those who should stand at attention have stood at attention, let's continue."

"Whoa-!"

……

"Your lover on Team Rocket said that a high-ranking member of Team Rocket wants to meet with you?"

The next morning, because of the confrontation, Yang Xiying was able to chat boldly with Leisha Yuhui.

Of course, he didn't mention that Naz had a deep connection with the Rockets, and that Naz was still considered a lackey of the league by the Rockets.

While they were chatting, he sent a message saying that the organization's cadres wanted to meet him and hoped that he would do him the honor of meeting him.

This made Yang Xiying hesitate, and this state also caught Nazi's attention, and as a result, she learned about the situation in this way.

“Yes, should I go or not? The location is Silver Company,” Yang Xiying nodded, feeling a little conflicted upon seeing the location.

Silvercorp, huh? Isn't that a company owned by Giovanni? What are you trying to do, send me to that place?!

—This is practically solid proof that Giovanni is the leader of the Rockets!

But Rie still addressed him as an executive without specifying which executive. Was it because she had warned him in advance that his identity might be exposed?

—They even have to use a secret code to get to Silvercorp. How cautious!

Did they say what would happen if they didn't go?

“…Why don’t you come to me from the other side in person?” Yang Xiying’s expression was strange, as if she had no choice but to go.

“Then let’s go,” Natsume replied, while Yang Xiying asked again, “So what’s the relationship between Silver Company and the Rockets?”

"That's an industry that the Rockets are secretly controlling, so the next thing you might be meeting with the local authorities."

Naz answered matter-of-factly, while also making a joking expression, since the location was specifically chosen to be the Silver Company.

This is largely not a meeting between officials...

"...So just how corrupt is the Kanto region? Even these listed multinational corporations aren't exactly normal."

Yang Xiying responded that he had heard too much from Nazi, and all he heard was her matter-of-fact response.

"...because the Kanto region was previously a region secretly ruled by zaibatsu and yakuza."

“…Then it seems I have no choice but to go,” Yang Xiying scratched her head. If the other side didn’t take the initiative to come to her, she might as well strike first.

The Feast at Hongmen—let's go.

Yang Xiying parted ways with Sabrina, because the latter was opening a gym and couldn't accompany her. Moreover, bringing Sabrina, who was not even known to many Team Rocket members, was somewhat provocative.

Therefore, Yang Xiying went alone to the meeting, visited the Silver Company, looked at the towering building, and went inside.

Following the coded message from Rie, Yang Xiying found the location to meet with the executives, and eventually arrived at the top floor of Silver.

"You're here? You're quite punctual," Yang Xiying saw a short-haired woman dressed in a dark red office lady outfit in front of an office door.

"..."

Yang Xiying suddenly fell silent as he looked at the person. Well, he could now be sure that the person receiving him was not a Team Rocket officer.

Because the person in front of you is the secretary of the leader of Team Rocket in the Pokémon series!
