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

"What's rather strange is that these guys' actions seem premeditated, and they had made corresponding preparations for many of their actions."

“Especially when it comes to intelligence, we’re always a step too late when we realize something is wrong,” Officer Jenny said, sighing and rubbing her forehead.

"—So we are also investigating whether there is an inside agent."

"Really..." Hearing Officer Jenny say that, Yang Xiying couldn't help but recall the two Team Rocket figures she had seen at the Science Museum during the day.

They must have been there as inside agents, since when we asked them what they were doing, they said it was intelligence gathering.

He also heard Rita mention that small teams like Rie's had appeared in many places in the Kanto region.

Shortly after that, those areas were raided by the Rockets, it seems the Rockets are planning something big...

Ironically, the Rockets' actions all coincided with the Red, Blue, and Green teams, which is hard to say whether it was lucky or unlucky.

"In short, the Rockets are definitely plotting something bad, so even if you, Mr. Yang, have exceptional skills, please be careful."

"After all, it's not just their combat ability; because of the Money Escape Technique, their ability to hide and escape is also top-notch."

"To eradicate them, we need to find Team Rocket's base," as long as we can block them there...

"Therefore, it will be difficult for us to bring them to justice completely. They might come back with even greater strength."

“I will,” Yang Xiying nodded. The Rockets guys are really tough to deal with, and their Money Escape Technique is just ridiculous.

Then, their hiding skills were indeed impressive. Just now, Yang Xiying had Cangyan Rengui scout around the police station.

I'd like to hear the outcome of this museum theft case. Is it true that all the perpetrators have been caught, or is it all thanks to me?

But Yang Xiying didn't see the familiar figure of Rie Reiss, even though the Rocket Team burly men she had fought before were all here...

Looks like there are still quite a few rats lurking in this Dark Grey City... Damn, I'm a little afraid to go back now, what am I going to do?!

Walking alone at night could easily lead to being ambushed.

"Alright, we've pretty much finished discussing the matter of the commendation. We won't disturb Mr. Yang any longer. Go back and get some rest."

Officer Jenny started seeing the guests off at this point, while Yang Xiying hesitated, wanting to stay but worried about the condition of the Pokémon Center residence.

I think I'll go back.

Before returning, Yang Xiying received thanks from members of the local science museum, as recovering the fossils was tantamount to saving her life.

The curator even said he would give Yang Xiying a fossil Pokémon. Well, now the fossil Aerodactyl he's been longing for is finally here.

However, this will have to wait until the fossil revival technology is perfected. Of course, if you want to revive fossils, you can also go to Crimson Island in the Kanto region.

It is also a region with a strong scientific atmosphere, where a research institution called the Red Lotus Institute is located.

They are researching techniques for resurrecting fossils, but these techniques are not yet fully developed and have not been widely disseminated.

Therefore, Yang Xiying obtained 1 Secret Amber. Sure enough, wandering around did yield some results, although wandering around at night seemed more like an unintentional act.

And so, Yang Xiying bid farewell to the group at the Dark Grey City Museum and Xiao Gang, the gym leader, and left the police station.

On the street, he couldn't help but quicken his pace, even though Dark Grey City wasn't as simple and honest as Metron City.

A bunch of crazy gear enthusiasts wandered around in the middle of the night, but there were still rats among them.

He's being followed now, but that was expected, since he'd seen Rie in the science museum before.

—Damn it, he really was an inside man!

"Should I praise you for being clever by deliberately going to an empty park, or...?"

Yang Xiying came to the park square alone at this time, and not long after she walked there, a person walked towards her.

And this was none other than Reza, the pink-haired elite member of Team Rocket dressed in her Team Rocket uniform, who revealed a playful expression under the moonlight.

"So you've come here for revenge?" Yang Xiying narrowed her eyes. Although she had expected it, the speed of this revenge was indeed quite fast.

"But isn't it a bit disrespectful of me that you're the only one here?" But somewhat unexpectedly, because Leisa came alone.

"Ha, you single-handedly stopped and subdued our cargo convoy. Fighting someone like you will only cause a bigger commotion, and it won't be worth it."

Leisa responded that this person's behavior was outrageous and that it was not something a few people could easily take down.

—This person's strength is almost at the executive level in their Rockets team.

"So the best place to fight you is in the wild, but I'm not here to challenge you to a duel, even though you are indeed in our way."

"But recruiting you is a good option now. How about it? Want to join the Rockets? You'll have a brighter future than you do now."

"..." Yang Xiying's expression was subtle. "A bright future? Then tell me what kind of bright future you mean."

"Anyone can draw a pie."

"Heh, this is the draft contract that everyone who joins the Rockets receives; it lists their benefits."

Hearing Yang Xiying say that, Leisa's lips curled up. As long as the other side didn't ignore her, there was a chance.

As she spoke, she took out a form and handed it directly to Yang Xiying.

"..."

Yang Xiying actually read through it, and the benefits sounded really good, with holidays, bonuses, and high welfare, but there were also many pitfalls.

tear-

In front of Leisa, Yang Xiying tore up the contract, and amidst her astonished expression, he walked over to her side.

"—I want to hug you."

PS: Update!

NO.106 You still have to compensate even if you don't bring a Pokémon!

bang bang dong!

Upon noticing Yang Xiying's sudden approach, Rocket Team elite member Leisa's pupils contracted as she sensed danger and began to back away from her.

"Are you doing this... deliberately trying to go against Team Rocket?" Leisa was annoyed; this guy was completely toying with her!

"As I said, anyone can draw a pie in the sky. The list on it only lists the benefits, but it doesn't say where these benefits come from or whether they are legal."

"They say the Rockets are a company, but they didn't even give out the company's address, which makes it even harder for me to trust you."

"And even if it were written down, who knows if it's a place that no satellite can detect and no one can find?"

"Going there could be like lambs to the slaughter. In order to avoid exposing the organization's location, those who go will have their escape route completely blocked."

"For example, forcing them to sign unreasonable contracts so that they have no choice but to join your Rockets team."

"If you go too far, you can even use hypnosis and brainwashing to create countless puppets."

Yang Xiying spoke indifferently, saying that this was similar to the practice in the original world of abducting people to work in coal mines in the deep mountains.

"...You actually have this idea of ​​recruiting people? No way! Are you kidding me! We would never use such despicable methods!"

However, Leisa showed a look of surprise upon hearing Yang Xiying's words, and then responded with an angry expression.

"An organization is an organization because its members trust each other. This kind of tactic will only deepen their resentment and cannot cultivate trust!"

"...So isn't this the kind of quality an evil organization should have?" Yang Xiying was a little confused as she looked at Leisa's startled expression.

"Are you some kind of righteous organization that contributes to society by doing good deeds?" Are the rumors about Team Rocket's despicable acts false?

"Don't try to insult us with these things! Team Rocket is an evil organization that exists to destroy the existing social structure and create a new world order!"

"As long as there's profit to be made, we'll do any evil!" Yang Xiying's words immediately triggered Leisa's reaction!

"...Even murder?" Yang Xiying narrowed her eyes and pressed for an answer, while Leisha's expression turned mocking.

"Ha, how much is a mere human life worth? Their ability to create value is far less than that of Pokémon."

"Even when it comes to moving goods, a hundred of you humans can't match their strength. They can become qualified laborers just a few months after they are born."

"Human beings' advantage is simply that they live longer and have more knowledge, but it is precisely because of this that we have a place on Earth."

"And you, who can come up with such a despicable idea, don't want to join the Rockets? This is the place where someone like you should develop."

"..." Yang Xiying's expression was subtle. He was just reasoning with normal logic to make his behavior more reasonable. How was that despicable?

"So why would I join a lawless organization like Team Rocket?" Besides, he just wanted to live an honest and law-abiding life.

Crossing the rules will only make things more chaotic. It's like if you kill someone, you have to be prepared to be killed yourself; after all, what goes around comes around...

"Even if you think I'm despicable, you can't arbitrarily divide me into camps just because of my style of doing things."

"And do you Rockets really only consider other people's wishes when recruiting players? I think most people in this world prefer a stable life."

“Ha, a peaceful life? ...That only happens when they have the opportunity,” Leisa said with a mocking expression.

"We joined the Rockets organization entirely of our own volition, because that's the only way to survive and live a good life."

"And we can also take this opportunity to take revenge on this society. Why should they be able to live a better life than us?"

"..." Yang Xiying narrowed her eyes slightly. The person opposite her seemed to be hiding something. Could there really be some conspiracy theory in the Pokémon world?

To be honest, I haven't really researched the history of Pokémon in different regions of the world. I only know that a world war happened a few decades ago.

"I don't know why, but I really have no reason to join the Rockets right now. I've been in contact with some pretty good guys."

He was even better off in Pallet Town than in his original world, and it would be perfect if he could bring his parents over.

They are all good people, so naturally they have nothing to do with a team like the Rockets, and might even be their enemy.

"I can't betray their hearts, so complaining to me is useless. I'm not joining any Team Rocket."

"Very well, then don't blame me if you encounter obstacles on your future journey. Someone like you is a threat as an enemy."

Leisa's eyes immediately turned cold. If the other party was determined to refuse, then such a situation could only be nipped in the bud.

"So now you're going to use Pokémon battles to make me submit?" Yang Xiying's lips curled up slightly.

He has now clearly rejected the Rockets' invitation, and he can anticipate what the next steps will be.

The truth will be revealed in action, but this is exactly what Yang Xiying wanted, after all, she had suffered a humiliation at the hands of the other side before.

Now he's going to get revenge! He'll take the initiative and teach this woman a lesson!

"Heh, I'm not stupid enough to go head-to-head with someone like you," Leisa scoffed, a mocking expression immediately appearing on her face.

"I'm only here today to deliver a few words to you, so I didn't even bring a single Pokémon with me."

"But this way I can use Money Escape Technique to escape at will," after receiving news that the Team Rocket members who were smuggling goods had been captured.

Leisa knew that the other side had a way to break the Money Escape Technique, and it was very simple: just prevent their Pokémon from losing their ability to battle.

So to prevent this from happening, Leisa deliberately didn't bring any Pokémon. All she has to do is throw some money at her and she'll be able to leave!

"Next, I just need to let you hug me once and I'll be able to... um?!" Leisa said confidently, but quickly realized something was wrong.

"You...so you're that scoundrel we met on Route 1!" Leisa's face immediately turned angry!

Because the Money Escape Technique only requires giving money! But facing this person requires…! Are you kidding me! How could I possibly have such a thought!

The only person who would have such thoughts is that black-haired bastard I met on Highway 1 a few months ago!

No, although this guy has white hair and his voice has changed a bit, his face shape and expression clearly indicate that it is that guy!

—They've put on a disguise!

"Oh, Tuo—" Yang Xiying immediately showed an expression of surprise and delight, "This is really a surprise, after all, I was quite troubled by your escape."

However, the system now states that as long as you show fighting spirit towards the enemy (marked in red), the opponent will be compensated even if they don't have any Pokémon.

—After all, this means admitting defeat…

PS: First update.

NO.107 I'll beat you to death through the internet cable!
