An abstract trainer who taught Charmander the Incinerate move

Chapter 53 Breaking Bad
In the underground club, Cabin looked at the pile of intelligence on the table and asked his trusted subordinate.

"Have you investigated that kid's background thoroughly?"

The man wearing a beret nodded.

"Well, we've been questioning a few new recruits who just smuggled themselves in the district these past few days. The intelligence wasn't hard to find, because this guy is a celebrity among the smugglers. He came on a pig transport ship from West German Company, and as soon as he got off the ship, he had a conflict with the people from West German Company's railway department. He's a tough guy who just smuggled himself in."

West Devon Company, huh...?

When the name was mentioned, a mysterious look appeared on Cabin's face.

This company is a multinational corporation jointly funded by multiple regions, and the major shareholder appears to be the Zvuch family from the Hoenn region.

They seem to have reached some kind of agreement with the United States authorities, contracted infrastructure projects, and are building railways all over the United States, though it's unclear what their intentions are.

However, such a colossal creature had nothing to do with these rats who huddled in the sewers eating scraps.

Upon hearing this news, a long-lost smile of satisfaction appeared on Carbin's face.

"So that kid's got a pretty clean record. Let him take over Thomson's position when he gets back, if he can even come back..."

……

The port, a dark warehouse.

Two dark figures completed the handover between the containers, the click of the metal buckle on the suitcase popping open was particularly jarring.

A bald man with a full beard, wearing glasses and a black top hat, pushed a briefcase toward the crew-cut young man in front of him.

"Then this batch of goods is yours. For the next transaction, it'll be the same as before—wait for instructions from above..."

The young man with the buzz cut opened the briefcase, glanced inside, and nodded.

“Mr. White, I know the rules.”

Without uttering a single unnecessary word, the bearded bald man tossed out a Poké Ball. The golden-furred Pokémon swung a spoon, and spatial ripples instantly shrank the figure.

The young man with the buzz cut sighed as he watched the bespectacled man disappear in an instant.

"【Teleport】This skill is really convenient, but unfortunately, the Pokémon that can master this skill are not something we can easily acquire..."

Born into a poor family, he always envied those trainers who had high-level Pokémon.

Just as he was about to leave with his suitcase, the warehouse iron gate suddenly swung open, and the moonlight outlined three silhouettes.

A flippant voice came from outside the warehouse door.

"Hey friend, you've really worked hard. Sit down and have a boxed lunch to rest. Leave the suitcase to me!"

Seeing the handsome young man leading two generals out of the warehouse, Jesse, the squad leader of Team Poison Smoke, flicked the safety pin on the Poké Ball at his waist with his thumb and frowned.

"Where did this stray dog ​​come from? Did they book a spot at the funeral home?"

Although Jesse was surprised by the current situation, he showed no sign of panic.

Having come from Team Rocket and spent many years mingling with gangs around the world, he is an elite of the practical class, having experienced countless battles and witnessed all kinds of situations.

The current situation is definitely due to someone leaking information from within, attracting traitors from rival forces, just like what happened to the Rockets back then...

Although the newcomers were hostile, as the strongest squad leader in the Poison Smoke team who had carried out countless dangerous missions, he was now terrifyingly powerful.

Jesse believed he was in no way inferior to even the top officers in the Poison Smoke team!

"Kid, prepare to enter hell!"

Snap——

The blinding incandescent lights suddenly shone, and several figures leaped down from the top of the container.

Around the warehouse, there were at least ten members of the poison smoke team!
These people were dressed in rock-style leather uniforms, with rebellious and unruly expressions on their faces, looking like a group of underground rock bands having a team-building event.

Seeing Mo Zhen surrounded by the crowd, Jesse laughed wildly.

"Hahahaha, do you think I'd be stupid enough to come to the rendezvous alone? I'm not some greenhorn. Everything is under my control. Take him down!"

That's right, this is the secret to becoming the strongest squad leader.

Everything is a lesson learned in blood. True veterans never say, "I'm going to take on ten of them," they only play it safe and take on one of ten.

ding dong ding dong --

With the sound of a Poké Ball opening, the once empty warehouse was filled with all sorts of Pokémon.

The sound of Arbok's scales rubbing together was like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, and the pale purple toxic mist from the leaked double-explosive gas had already spread across the ground.

Looking at the warehouse full of enemies, Luca's forehead trembled and a bead of sweat dripped down.

Such a grand scene brought back some very unpleasant memories for it. In those memories, whether it was the smoke of battle at Suanmu Farm or the flames of war in the Goa Kingdom, it instantly tightened its nerves.

“Lu…Ka…”

Man! This is truly a tough battle, General Red Dragon, will we win?
Snapped!
The moment Luca looked at Admiral Red Dragon, he felt a wave of heat wash over him.

Xiao Huolong stepped forward and stood in front of Luca, his fighting spirit surging, already at full power!

A true man will always prove everything through his actions.

Without a single extra word, Xiao Huolong's resolute gaze, burning with firelight, had already given Luca the answer.

will win.

Feeling the confidence and determination conveyed in those eyes, Luca's previously wavering heart was immediately roused.

A warm current seemed to flow into its body along with its gaze, making its blood boil!

"Croak! Red Dragon General, then let's fight side by side!"
In an instant, flames erupted inside the warehouse, and poisonous substances surged forth.

The fiery claws burned and tore through the poisonous mist, their power flashing and shattering the treacherous scheme.

Thanks to their excellent teamwork last time, Xiao Huolong and Luca teamed up this time and managed to hold their own against a warehouse full of enemies!

Under the moonlight, Mo Zhen's smile became even more unrestrained, and Jesse's intuition, honed by years of gangster life, made his muscles tense.

Although the visitor was only one person and two experts, the handsome young man made him feel extremely uneasy.

What exactly is going on? Why do I feel so wary of this guy?
It's...the look in their eyes.

That's right, it's that look!
He will never forget that resolute look in his eyes!
Ten years ago, when he was still a member of the Rockets, he met that spirited red-haired boy.

Hey, you, Jesse, I heard you're pretty capable. Come work for me from now on!

[Silver from Team Thirteen... I heard you're the Boss's son?]

So what if it is? One day I'll leave this place and go to the Union Empire to do something big!

"Aren't you going to the Unova, or staying with the Rockets?"

[That's right, the Unova is a truly free country. I will realize my dreams there and establish a new order. You'll come with me then!]

Can we really do this? Is this some kind of dream?

[Hmph, what's the difference between a person without dreams and Magikarp? Join me, and I'll show you a whole new world!]

Back then, Jesse still had dreams. He believed he could rebel against the corrupt order. As long as he was here, following that red-haired boy, they, as ordinary people, could also change the world!

Until that rainy night.

The young investigator who single-handedly wiped out Team Rocket's division has ended his dream.

"You are no match for him! Run! I'll cover your retreat!"

All evil will eventually be brought to justice! You born evil brat, Giovanni, I'm coming for you...

In the ruins of Team Rocket's base, Jesse only glanced at the investigator as he fled, but he never forgot that steely, resolute gaze.

From then on, that resolute gaze became a haunting nightmare for him.

He left Kanto, he left Team Rocket, he came to Unova, he joined Team Toxic, he abandoned his former dreams, he started a new life, and he thought he had gotten rid of everything from the past.

But ten years later, when he saw that resolute look in another young man's eyes again, he finally understood that he had never truly left that rainy night behind.

Damn it, the dodo bird is still chasing me...

It's time to put an end to this!

Snap——

The safety catch on the Poké Ball made a crisp sound, and Jesse suddenly flung out a bright blue Great Ball, his eyes blazing with madness.

"Fine! Dodo, you lackey of the Alliance, you still won't let me go, then... die!"

As if having a hysterical episode, Jesse was delirious, confusing Mo Zhen with the dodo bird.

Boom——

The entire warehouse trembled the moment the Poké Ball suddenly exploded.

Mo Zhen and Xiao Huolong were both taken aback when they saw the enormous figure that appeared before them!
Damn it, it's you?!
