Giovanni paused for a second before continuing, "I'll just send some members who have broken my rules to a mission. And tell them that I'll give them a new chance if they successfully complete this mission. At the mission, some Team Rocket members will happen to see one subordinate wearing a Ditto mask of Misty. After they try to accomplish the impossible mission and fail, they will be arrested by the Alliance. When the Alliance realizes that Misty is very likely not a Rocket Team member, they will think that Team Rocket was trying to accuse the future talented trainers of the Alliance."
Giovanni said with an indifferent face, "After that, they will greatly reduce the credibility of low-level Team Rocket members. Although this method cannot be used with high-level Team Rocket members, it doesn't matter because you only met three high-level Team Rocket members."
"Lisa, Brand, and Maria, who recently became a captain. The likelihood that one of these three would be so stupid to sell you out to the Alliance is almost 0. And even if either of them does, the Alliance is unlikely to believe it 100%."
Alex, who heard this, got little goosebumps. Giovanni apparently has no problem sacrificing his useless 'pieces' for useful ones. And these 'pieces' are not game figures. Although it's not surprising that Giovanni would do something like that, the thought itself was very unsettling.
Besides, Alex knows that Giovanni didn't tell him everything. The Alliance actually has two options to respond to the accusation of the low Team Rocket members. First, they will lower the credibility of these kinds of statements from that moment and allow Alex to infiltrate them more easily. Or second, they will have a slight distrust of Misty and thus lose one of their future geniuses.
No matter what the Alliance does, Giovanni benefits from it.
Giovanni didn't wait for an answer and continued speaking with an indifferent tone, "Although that can solve this problem relatively well, you always have to enter the Team Rocket base with a new face. Fortunately, you already have Ditto, so I think that is not a problem."
Giovanni took out a new ID card with a new face and name. He gave it to Alex and said, "I will also speak to the three high-ranking members regarding this, so they will know about your situation."
When he saw Alex taking the ID card, he said, "As of today, Alex Stark's data in Team Rocket has been completely deleted. Although only a few people have access to it, it is better to play it safe, right?"
Alex agreed with this statement and thanked Giovanni for the effort he put in.
"Ok, enough about that. I still have a reward for you."
Giovanni took out a piece of paper and a map from the drawer and wordlessly handed it to Alex.
Alex saw that the map is of an island that harbors a lot of strong and rare Pokémon.
Giovanni looked at Alex and said with a faint smile, "I have no job for you as you are not strong enough yet. Thus you are free for now. But you still have a lot to do."
Giovanni glanced at the map while speaking the last sentence. Then he ignored Alex as he continued to look at his papers.
Alex, who saw this, understood that this chat was over and he should go. In addition, it was an indirect tip that he can get stronger faster on this island. Giovanni knows that Alex wants to get stronger quickly, so he doesn't even have to tell anything about this to Alex specifically. This indirect type of manipulation is quite impressive.
He politely said goodbye to Giovanni, who continued to ignore him when Alex walked out the door.
Alex, who came out of the door, saw Lisa's Alakazam in the hallway. He appeared to be waiting for Alex.
Alakazam quickly went to Alex and, without waiting, teleported both of them from the hallway.
...
Alex and Alakazam suddenly appeared outside of Lisa's office.
Alex, who saw this, had a confused expression, and he looked in the direction of Alakazam. He thought that he would appear again in Lisa's room, which made him a little bemused.
Alakazam showed a helpless face when she saw Alex's questioning gaze.
She showed a gesture saying that Alex can go now.
Alex, who didn't receive a reply from Alakazam, showed a curious expression on his face as he slowly left.
Although Alex knew that he would probably see something extreme if he went to Lisa's office, he thought about what Lisa would do to him if he really did that. And he started walking away faster. After all, Alex could already predict what Lisa might be doing in her office after thinking about it a little bit now. And he would rather avoid seeing that.
...
Alex entered the room and saw that Scizor, who was supposed to take care of the Pokémon Egg, was standing in front of the TV and watching it while exercising.
When he saw that, he knew that it was better to let Kirlia take care of the Pokémon Egg. Even Ditto would be better than Scizor as a babysitter.
Unfortunately, he needs the teleporting ability and the ability to change his face to save himself in an emergency. So he had chosen Scizor as the babysitter.
He doesn't expect much from Scizor. Just that when the Egg hatches, Torchic doesn't find itself alone.
Alex looked rather annoyed at the Scizor that was training. When he saw that the Egg had not yet hatched, he felt a little better. Alex wasn't mad at Scizor but at himself for the fact that he couldn't take care of the Egg. He made up his mind not to go and train here until the Egg hatch. In this expensive hotel, there is also a Pokémon training room that you can rent to train.
...
Alex and his Pokémon just finished their hard training session, and it was time to relax. But Alex suddenly heard the sound of something cracking.
He turned his face and found the Pokémon Egg 1 meter away from him had started hatching.
Torchic, who came out of its Egg, looked at its surroundings with a curious look. This newborn Torchic was only 20cm long, half the size of a fully grown Torchic.
Alex took Torchic in his hand and said with a bright smile, "Welcome to this world, Torchic."
Torchic just curiously looked at Alex. When it felt the warmth from Alex's hands, it laid down on Alex's hands and looked at him.
Alex put it on his lap and took the Moomoo Milk bottle out of his TRH device. Then he started feeding Torchic like a little baby.
After Torchic drank half the bottle, it slowly closed its eyes and slept on Alex's lap.
Alex saw that he couldn't get up now, showed no annoyed expression. He looked at the info of his new family member.
