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

"Hmph, if that's what you think, I'm increasingly inclined to invite you to join Team Rocket," Giovanni snorted, then spoke.

This person accomplished something in Pewter City that would normally require the combined efforts of the police and the gym leader.

—Strong skills.

As a teacher, Pigeon knows most of the knowledge about Pokémon battles, and when he talks about it, he can even use the words of legendary Pokémon as if he had experienced them firsthand.

- Erudite and talented.

As for me... I can only say that I've passed the age of youth and hard work, and there are many things I need to be mindful of and think about.

—This person is almost turning into a filthy adult just like me...

“I would refuse, because I do not rob, steal, endanger other people’s lives, or sacrifice other people’s happiness for my own benefit.”

Yang Xiying answered without hesitation, which made Zhen Niao, who was standing to the side, frown slightly. Despite her dark thoughts, she could still speak so righteously...

“But your ruthless way of thinking really suits my taste,” Sakaki asked. “Why would you consider refusing?”

Although he knew the other side didn't want to have too much involvement with the organization, he still wanted to know why they thought that way.

"What goes around comes around. I'd rather play the good guy than the bad guy. The Rockets aren't an organization where I can live a peaceful life."

Yang Xiying believes in cause and effect; you reap what you sow, and doing bad things will naturally bring bad results.

"Are you at ease...? Indeed, what goes around comes around, so I also want to be defeated by the heroic good guys, just like a villain."

Sakaki also agreed with Yang Xiying's words, because the Rockets themselves were not clean, and directly responded to her statement.

"—So Crimson, the troublesome brat you mentioned, is the righteous one you chose?"

PS: First update. I'll add another 6,000 words today, so I can play "Gu Long's Chronicles" in peace tomorrow.

—I want to be Li Xunhuan's best brother!

NO.219 The chosen hero, urged by the big boss to update...

"Yes, the kind of brave young people I look forward to are those who dare to stand up for the injustices of the world without any regard for anything else."

Sakaki responded.

"Why did you choose him?" Yang Xiying asked curiously. Team Rocket in the real world was a powerful force.

He even began to doubt whether Red could perform like the original character, since the only thing the kid was good at was Pokémon battles.

We can't just rely on Pokémon battles to sweep through... wait, the loser in a Pokémon battle must satisfy the winner, so all Red needs to do is beat Giovanni.

Let him disband the Rockets...that's certainly a possibility, as long as the winner has the idea that money can't buy them out...

—So, does Crimson exist now? But as a main character, its potential for growth should still be quite high.

"...Don't you think it's rare for someone like this to have such strength in this world?"

"To single-handedly hinder the Rockets' actions and have a low failure rate already meets my requirements," Giovanni said again.

"I'd be completely convinced if someone like that could defeat me."

"But I remember that Team Rocket played a lot of a role in the establishment of the Pokémon League in the Kanto region."

Yang Xiying was still puzzled.

"Your influence has permeated almost every corner of the Kanto region, and many people still rely on you for their livelihood."

"Although they've done a lot of bad things, they can still manage if they change their course of action, right?" Team Rocket has a strong sense of organization and cohesion.

Such an organization can do anything—logistics, selling milk tea, fishing, making movies, or even venturing into the entertainment industry, it's all possible.

"If they are defeated like this, the Kanto and Johto regions will be in trouble," Yang Xiying learned from Rie Reisa.

—There are still many evil spirits and monsters lurking in the Kanto and Jodo regions.

"Haha, it seems you still care about our Rockets team, do you know what our organization is like?"

Sakaki smiled.

"The Kanto and Jodo regions are still relatively decaying places, with rotten and foul-smelling things lurking in places that many people don't know about."

"But our Rockets team has grown by taking advantage of this opportunity, however, there are limits to this kind of growth."

"Because it involves too many things, some things have become entrenched, and there is a sense of constraint whether you are a villain or reform."

"So I need a chance to break the deadlock, for the Rockets to continue being seen as a terrible organization by others."

"Then wait for a hero who doesn't have to worry too much and only acts for justice. When he defeats Team Rocket, a new wind will blow in Kanto."

"Can I take this as you wanting to use the Rockets as a stepping stone for Red?" This remark from the other side clearly indicated a desire to train Red.

If a powerful individual with absolute strength were present, the environment of the Kanto region would likely change.

Moreover, since the other side has said that, it's definitely not just about honing Crimson's combat power, but also about other things.

Or perhaps we should also see Green as a hero; that kid isn't like Crimson, whose mind is only filled with battle.

“If the other side has that kind of strength, the Rockets will naturally be a stepping stone,” Giovanni said, while Yang Xiying continued to speak.

"—Looks like you're still planning to keep struggling."

"Heh, I'm not so kind as to pave the way for a junior who isn't even my own. Anyway, I just hope you won't get involved in my duel with the hero in Kanto."

Giovanni is determined to give it his all. If he can acquire a legendary Pokémon, changing the current landscape of the Kanto region will be no problem at all.

"If that were the case, everything would be different."

"...So my intervention can disrupt the balance, is that right?" Yang Xiying's expression was strange, while Sakaki shook his head and chuckled.

"Don't you understand your own value? You know so much about Pokémon in this Pokémon-themed world."

"—You might attract the attention of others."

"That is indeed a headache. If I encounter any trouble, can I rely on your help, Mr. Sakaki?"

Yang Xiying also felt that knowing too much was not a good thing, so he asked Sakaki about it in a joking manner.

—Because there is no one in this world he can truly rely on.

"Haha, what will you do when I use this to coerce you into joining Team Rocket?" Giovanni seemed quite interested.

"By then, Team Rocket must have been a reformed and reborn team," Yang Xiying continued, echoing what the other person was saying.

Since the opposing team is determined to break the current deadlock, the Rockets will surely shine anew as a result.

"Ha, but my thinking will not change: to make money and seize power by any means necessary, and become an even more troublesome public enemy of the world."

Sakaki grinned, revealing a sinister smile, which immediately surprised Yang Xiying.

"Huh? You're planning to play the villain?"

"The Rockets are the Rockets. They won't change just because you do a good deed. As long as I live, the Rockets will always exist."

Sakaki shook his head.

"So if Mr. Yang hinders our operations in the future, he may be an enemy, so the same request still applies."

"You can offer whatever you want, whether it's money, rare Pokémon other than legendary Pokémon, or any other conditions."

"I won't be polite about this."

Yang Xiying responded that, to be honest, the other party had talked to her so much that it was like leaking secrets.

He even had a feeling that he might be humanely killed by the other party under the pretext of silencing him. Since the other party offered to exchange benefits, he would definitely accept.

This will put the other person at ease.

"It's just a pity that I don't have anything I particularly want right now," but she quickly changed the subject, which made Sakaki look curious.

"It seems Mr. Yang Xiying is quite wealthy."

"...I guess so. I don't lack money or rare items, and I don't want any Pokémon for the time being, so can we discuss these conditions later?"

Yang Xiying responded that she had thought about what she lacked, and found that she really didn't have any. If she continued to add more, she would really not be able to cultivate enough.

"—After all, we've met more than once."

"Yes, not just this time. It would be nice if you could chat with this old man more often."

Sakaki smiled again.

"Now let me, as a fan of your videos, talk to you about some related topics. You've been a bit lazy with your updates lately."

"Uh... I'll try to update faster," Yang Xiying felt quite pressured being urged to update by the gangster boss.

The video content needs to be considered in terms of whether this integration is appropriate. If it includes some extreme actions by the dragon rider, the gangsters might block the door.

……

"Alright, it's almost time. I have other work to do. It was a pleasure chatting with you, Teacher Ge."

"...Yeah, me too. I won't bother you while you're working."

After some time, Sakaki saw the guests off first, and Yang Xiying left Silver Company, thus ending their casual conversation.

P.S.: This procrastination is really hard to overcome. The main storyline of the original Pokémon games will not involve the protagonists except for the world-ending crisis.

—After all, the theme is picking up girls.

P.S.: The girl I'll meet in Konoha City is from overseas, and she's my type ().

Heading towards the Goldenrod Gym! (NO.220)

[How was it like meeting with our organization's cadres?]

After leaving Silver Company, Yang Xiying walked down the street, and Rie and the other two started contacting her.

—It's obvious they're secretly watching my actions.

"...You guys seem to be gloating, do you know who the cadre who contacted me is?" Yang Xiying replied directly.

【Of course I know, we are the elite members of Team Rocket, but I didn’t expect that person to personally receive you,】BY Rie.

[And seeing you walk out of Silvercorp like nothing happened, tsk, I thought I'd see you make a fool of yourself.] BY Leisa.

"...I'm truly sorry I didn't let you see my embarrassing moments, after all, that sir... hey, he still quite admires me."

Yang Xiying's lips curled up slightly. Meeting Sakaki was no different from visiting a friend's house, and the heavy weight in her heart could finally be lifted.

The Rockets won't target him specifically because Yang Xiying is in the right regarding the Deep Grey City incident, even if the Rockets are using the slogan of robbing the rich to help the poor.

If you ever see the Rockets doing anything against the rules, please stop them. The implication is that you won't let yourself witness them doing bad things in the future.

In that case, I really can't control it, and if I send people to observe my movements, it's obvious that the other side can avoid me at any time.

Unless he is truly a busybody like Red, or has the intention to change the bubble-like prosperity of the Kanto region.

Sakaki later said that Yang Xiying could be a hero, but she should be mentally prepared to take over the Kanto region.

Unfortunately, he didn't do well. After all, he wasn't born and raised on this land. His main goal was to gain the ability to travel freely.

Unless this goal involves something so much that he has to improve the local environment, he only needs to be responsible to women for now.

—But if there are a lot of girls, then a large piece of land would definitely be needed...

Well, for now, he only needs to focus on protecting his friends and family who are good to him, so he should leave the affairs of the Kanto region to the locals.

For example, the red, blue, and green characters, although they mainly pursue strength, also have to shoulder corresponding responsibilities due to their inherent personalities.

Especially Qinglu, I always feel like this kid is plotting something. I asked him about his ambition before, and he said he wanted to be a champion.

Honestly, it's a bit intriguing that he became the champion after learning about the situation in the Kanto region, and Giovanni also mentioned it.

The fact that there is no champion in the Kanto region is precisely the result of the checks and balances between various forces, apart from the four Elite Four who are publicly known.

—There are also many potential trainers secretly recruited by various factions…

[Huh?! That lord would appreciate you? Appreciate a lecherous and frivolous fellow like you?]

Leisa was a little incredulous. As the leader of Team Rocket, that person was a powerful figure they could only look up to.

How could someone like that appreciate Yang Xiying? Although she has some talent, what could a frivolous person with such a shallow mind possibly respect?

—After all, that lord did not show any interest in women.
