Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

"No, this is our first official mission. It would be very embarrassing to say we failed."

Kosaburo was getting a little anxious.

Amazon curled his lip in disdain.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's not like we're the only ones who will fail on our first official mission."

Seeing that Kosaburo still didn't understand, she sighed, but still explained, "Didn't you realize that guy has a connection with Kojiro?"

"so what?"

Kosaburo was a little confused.

"So, to put it another way, if we continue to persuade them, they will either send us to see Officer Jenny or choose to join us."

If they join, do you think Musashi and Kojiro, those two bastards, will receive help from the other side and be favored by their superiors?

We don't need to help them just to ensure the success of a single mission.

A different light flickered in Amado's eyes.

How could that hot-tempered redhead be worthy of sharing first place in the exam with her?

She wants to suppress the other party so that they can never succeed.

"Secondly, the fact that this mission was assigned to us means that the higher-ups don't know that Kojiro is related to the target, which is a major taboo for the organization."

We could easily report to our superiors that the other party didn't join because they knew Kojiro.

It was only at this moment that Kosaburo suddenly realized what was going on.

Now that you mention it, it seems like turning around and leaving is indeed the best option.

"Finally, who said our mission was a complete failure?"

As Yamado watched the people in the distance rebuilding the structures destroyed by Gengar, a sinister smile crept across his face.

"Should we follow them and take a look?"

Watching the two figures disappear from his sight, Tetsuya felt a little tempted.

But after thinking about it, I gave up on the idea.

There's no need for that.

According to Kojiro, he and Kojiro had just graduated from Team Rocket Academy.

Both players were in the lowest-ranking official positions on the Rockets.

In this situation, arresting the other party and sending them to Officer Jenny would be completely useless.

Because they don't have any criminal records to deal with.

At most, they'll just be locked up for two or three days and then released.

He didn't think he could get any secret information about the Rockets from these two people.

At this moment, Tetsuya had no idea that the riot in Super Town was caused by Amado and Kosaburo.

All I can say is that these two guys really have a talent for being bad guys.

As for whether revealing her relationship with Kojiro would cause him any trouble.

Tetsuya said that you underestimated the power of the Sasaki family.

He didn't believe the Sasaki family was completely unaware that their eldest son had joined Team Rocket.

Otherwise, why would Giovanni have specifically assigned Musashi and Nyanko-sensei as Kojiro's partners?

Despite having some useless teammates (she had over ten different partners during training), Musashi's abilities are absolutely top-notch.

Abandoning a partner is also because the other person is too much of a burden.

Musashi is proficient in medical skills, broadcasting, cooking, and even ninjutsu. In the future, as she follows Ash, she also becomes a good Coordinator and Performer.

Even in the league, such talent is not something you can find everywhere, let alone on the Rockets.

And Meow Meow is even more amazing.

As possibly the only elf in the world capable of speaking human language, its intelligence clearly exceeds ordinary limits.

Add to that all sorts of strange inventions, and Tetsuya thinks Meowth might be more suitable to be the protagonist than Ash.

He was beaten up for stealing—he went to Hollywood to pursue his dreams—he was rejected by the cat he liked, so he tried to develop human-like behavior patterns—he was rejected again—he joined Team Rocket and was determined to become the strongest.

Isn't this the perfect template for a novel protagonist?

Instead of worrying about whether Kojiro will be reported to by Yamato and Kojiro, you should worry about yourself.

Sakaki eventually noticed him.

Tetsuya was somewhat helpless.

"pull"

Ralts, who was reading a yellowed book nearby, comforted its trainer, Tetsuya, sensing his inner turmoil.

"It's alright, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Besides, it seems like he doesn't care much about me."

Tetsuya patted the sensible Ralts on the head.

If Giovanni really wanted him to join Team Rocket, it probably wouldn't have been Yamato and Kosaburo who came.

Ralts turned another page of the book that had been suspended in mid-air by telekinesis, and nodded its little head solemnly.

I don't know if it understood what Zhe was saying.

"Let's go. We've got the training methods. We still need to get to the next city before tonight."

Tetsuya led Ralts out of Psychic Town through another entrance.

Inside the distant Tokiwa Dojo.

A familiar dark room.

"Is that so? I understand."

Listening to his secretary, Masato's, report, Sakaki slowly nodded.

"How's the research on anger going?"

He asked.

"Everything is going smoothly. We've completed about 50 percent of the project, and the adverse side effects are decreasing."

Today, Masahiro, dressed in his usual Rockets uniform, responded.

"Our Dragon King seems to have a heightened sense of smell lately. Let's have someone lure him away."

"Then let Apollo go; he's better at this."

The question-and-answer session between the two proceeded exceptionally quickly.

"Oh, by the way, let that group called... Little Three or something go and do things for Dongbo."

As Masato was leaving, Sakaki suddenly gave instructions.

"Yes."

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhenniao's eyes, and then he responded.

Going from a regular member to a team member directly serving the PhD is a huge promotion.

Although he didn't know the meaning behind Sakaki's actions, Masato resolutely carried them out.

After all, that's Boss Sakaki.

In the darkness, Sakaki looked at the photograph on the table not far away.

That was a photo of two women.

So, are you still alive?

......

Prosperous and radiant, this is Manjin.

As the sun set, Tetsuya stood atop the mountain, gazing at the massive city by the sea below, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

This is a "shining pearl" on par with Kumgang City in the Kanto region.

It is the largest city in the Johto region and the economic and technological center of the region. In addition, there are places like Goldenrod Radio, Goldenrod Department Store, Goldenrod Game City, and Goldenrod Gym that attract the attention of trainers.

In other cities, a building that is dozens of stories high may be enough to become a landmark.

However, such buildings are common in Goldenrod City.

Even the Pokémon Center here is more conspicuous than other places—because it's really big and really tall.

To the west of the city, a deep-water port is constantly in operation.

Passenger and cargo ships come and go in an orderly fashion, just like the people in this city.

Even before entering, Zhe felt a long-lost sense of oppression and tension.

This is something the wilderness cannot provide for him.

However, he said he liked it very much.

"I smell it, the smell of money!"

Chapter 366 "Acquaintances" (First Update)

Luxurious skyscrapers rise one after another in the city;

A series of winding, celestial staircases and corridors span the heavens and the earth.

Although the moon has replaced the sun and hangs high in the sky, the city of Manjin is still brightly lit.

Although the Johto region doesn't particularly like using technology, in Goldenrod City, even the smallest entrances and exits have machines specifically designed for identification.

After all, this is the most important core city of the capital, and it is not excessive to guard it so strictly.

After pulling out his Pokédex to verify his identity and garnering some attention, Tetsuya, who had been searching for a mountain only to find it too far, finally entered Goldenrod City.

The first step, naturally, is to go to the Pokémon Center and find a place to stay.

"I'm sorry, all the rooms here are full and we can't reserve a room for you."

Miss Joey said to Tetsuya with a full of apologies.

Some helpless.

He's been traveling for almost a year and a half, and this is the first time he's encountered a Pokémon Center that's so crowded.

And it wasn't just packed, it was incredibly crowded.

Not to brag, but his status and priority at the Pokémon Center are still very high.

There weren't even any rooms left that could be reserved for him, which gives you an idea of ​​just how many people were staying in Manjin City.

"What about the other Pokémon Centers?"

Zhe didn't give up and asked.

Because Goldenrod City is so large, in addition to the city headquarters in the east, there are several Pokémon Centers scattered in various locations.

"Um......

It seems other places are also fully booked. Would you like me to find you a hotel?

Miss Joey fiddled with the computer for a while, and then told Tetsuya some unfortunate news.

"No need, thank you."

Tetsuya sighed softly.

Looks like I'll just have to spend a little more money to enjoy it.

This was not his original intention.

But there's nothing we can do about it, isn't there?

Unable to hide his joy, Tetsuya ordered a Dotturi and rode it to a luxurious fairy hotel.

"Thank you for your patronage. The total is 40 Alliance Coins." (Approximately RMB 2)
