32: First Step.

*Boom*

With an explosion, shouts, and painful groans and moans, Azes continued his invasion on the Team Rocket base. Azes was searching for Giovanni so he could hypnotize him and get all the passwords he needs and all the information necessary. He will also give him to Mewtwo with the condition to not kill Giovanni because he still has some use. Azes would use him to get money, buy Pokemons from the black market, and monitor the League. The League is the organization that keeps tabs on the Pokemon world in every region known to the man, from Kanto to Galar. After searching for some time, Azes found Giovanni cowardly hiding, he just used his Psychic powers to levitate him and hypnotize him, getting all the information necessary and also using Legimency to make sure that it was true.

Azes made Giovanni say that the Team Rocket is going to have a meeting. All the members of the Team Rocket shall go. ALL! He said he had important news that he wants to reveal to the mobs of the Team Rocket. After making Giovanni do it, Azes gave him to Mewtwo, who thanked Azes and left. Azes felt a cold sweat drop run down his spine when he felt what Mewtwo wanted to do with Giovanni... Shaking his head, Azes prepared himself for the opening of the FTC and FPC, Flamel Training Corporation, and Flamel Poke Corporation, these two Corporations would train Pokemons and sell thing Pokefood and Pokeballs enchanted with runes to increase the capture chance, Azes also thought of selling toys and things that makes Pokemons happy... Toys, cleaning products, beds, and more! Azes was thinking about also enchanting them to increase the comfortableness and beauty of the items.

Azes started to create prototypes while waiting for the Team Rocket meeting.

***

A month later

Jessie and James were called back by their boss, they were really excited because they thought about making their boss happy stealing an abnormal Pikachu when they arrived at the place where the meeting would be held, they saw not only other members of the Team Rocket but all the members of the team rocket, even the Admins! Meowth was really curious why they were there, but their curiosity died down when they saw their boss appear on the stage, he seemed thinner than before, like he was in a diet. There was nothing wrong with wanting to get thinner, right? Giovanni was wearing a black tuxedo with a red R on the left side of his chest, he looked a little nervous what startled the Admins of the Team Rocket because their boss was always confident and powerful... Why he was so nervous?

"Welcome to the first annual meeting of the Team Rocket. Today we have some news... As you all should be knowing, there was an attack on our base in Viridian City, I have some explanations to give... " With a nervous cough, Giovanni continued: "That attack wasn't an attack. It was a test from my superior, and he was completely disappointed with us." This caused a lot of people to grasp. Giovanni has a superior? Their boss has a boss? "Let me explain. A month ago, the FTC and FPC surged, they became a hit rather quickly... The owner and director of the FTC and FPC is my boss. I grew up with the Flamel family as a servant, they gave me an opportunity to be free and do what I wanted, so I created the Team Rocket... They said they would test me and if I failed they would take back my freedom and dreams, and the test happened a month ago. That "attack" was a test from my boss, you may only know him as Mr.Flamel because he doesn't desire to reveal his name so earlier."

Giovanni stopped for a moment, he remembered the words his boss said to him: "I failed. I am a failure... So, he took Team Rocket from me. You all now are his subordinates. And I'm sorry, Mr.Flamel." As soon as he said it, a cough echoed on stage. They were deep down underground, a new base Azes created that would be used for large scale meetings when everyone heard the cough they unconsciously looked at the source of the sound, a man, black clothes, wearing a black mask that covered his whole body was floating above the stage and looking down at Giovanni. Sitting on his head was a tiny pink cat, Mew, and beside him was a bigger version of this smol pinky cat, Mewtwo. They didn't saw his mouth, but everyone could hear his voice saying: "You all heard it... Giovanni is not the leader of this tiny and pathetic organization anymore. You all now work for me, and I will give you rules."

Azes slowly floated down with Mew and Mewtwo glancing at the humans that were completely paralyzed with awe, fear, and curiosity altogether. "First, your Pokemons are not your tools." After Azes' voice echoed on their heads, all the Pokeballs on all the members of the Team Rocker floated towards Azes. "You are not worth these creatures." All the Pokeballs opened and the Pokemons were released from them, Azes then teleported all the Ekans, Arboks, Koffings, Weezings, Rattata, Raticates, Weedles, Kakunas, Beedrils, Zubats, Golbats, and others to Azirius. "Now... Let's put a rule here. You are human. You are weak. You can only trust a Pokemon to protect you... So you need to earn your own Pokemon." Azes voice really sticks to the minds of the grunts, Azes looked at grunts and Admins who were completely shocked and smiled under his mask. "Make a line and come forward."

Azes order was hypnotic and all the grunts and members of the Team Rocket made a line. "One by one, you will receive a Pokeball. Inside this Pokeball is a random Pokemon, he will be your partner and you shall take care of it with your life. Now, come forward." Azes took a Pokeball from a stand and gave it to the first grunt that came forward. Azes captured several Pokemons on this month before the Team Rocket meeting, he took from Bulbasaurs till Dratinis. Most of the Pokeballs were Rattatas and Pidgeys, but some had a Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander, or even a Pikachu or Dratini. After giving all the Pokeballs for all the members of the Team Rocket, Azes made them go to the FTC to get to know more about Pokemons and train them there. Azes had some employees on the FTC and FPC, he basically got normal employees and hypnotized them to never get the secret of the company out, he also did the same with employees of FPC.

Azes already got all the badges he needed to enter the league, he will surely win with his team. He has six official members of his team and more than 50 under his wings. His team is very strong, it consists of Venosaur, Gengar, Aerodactyl, Dragonite, Snorlax, and Lapras. Azes was ready to become famous again.
