[Mimikyu is in a near-death state!]
[Mimikyu defeats Vileplume, gaining a large amount of Experience!]
[Mimikyu's Level has increased!]
Three consecutive prompts flashed by, and the change in HP brought about by the level up pulled Mimikyu's HP back up from zero.
The head of Pikachu's skin that Mimikyu wore on its body tilted to the side, but it did not become Unable to battle because of that Solar Beam move.
It encountered a leveling-up bug.
On the contrary, Vileplume was hit by the backlash effect of Destiny Bond and fell to the ground unconscious.
"This... can't be true, can it?"
Bai Yunfei's face was filled with disbelief.
A level 1 Mimikyu defeating a level 24 Vileplume, not only avoiding an instant defeat but also counter-killing the opponent, was something even internet novels wouldn't dare to write about!
Ariana looked at the fallen Vileplume, licked her lips, squinted her eyes slightly, and looked at Chen Yue with great interest.
Out of the blue, she asked, "What's your name?"
Chen Yue, who was trying to adjust Mimikyu's headgear, didn't lift his head and replied, "Chen Yue."
"Chen Yue..." Ariana softly pronounced these two words. She seemed to be contemplating and then suddenly asked, "Do you know Lance?"
Chen Yue's movements paused, and he finally looked up, locking eyes with Ariana, who was full of inquiry.
"Lance, the Messenger of Dragons. I think there's hardly anyone in the Kanto region who doesn't know him, right?"
Ariana deeply looked at him for a moment and then shifted her gaze to the others. She calmly stated, "Team Rocket has only one requirement for its members, absolute loyalty to the organization."
"I don't care what you did before joining Team Rocket; those things have nothing to do with you now. From this moment on, you are Team Rocket's people, whether in life or in death."
At this point, Ariana paused for a moment and her tone became more profound. "As for the consequences of betrayal, I believe you wouldn't want to know."
"Of course, I swear, I personally will never betray Team Rocket!" Bai Yunfei immediately declared his loyalty.
Ariana's expression returned to the casual indifference she had during the battle, as if her previous ruthless coldness had never existed.
She shrugged and chuckled at Chen Yue, "Well, it's best that way. From today on, you'll follow me!"
Perhaps her tone carried a sense of "I think you're good, and from now on, you're mine," but Chen Yue didn't react immediately.
He paused and said, "Me?"
Ariana asked, "What's wrong? Don't want to?"
Chen Yue shook his head and said earnestly, "Of course not, I'm honored."
Ariana smiled slightly, returned the unconscious Vileplume to its Poke Ball, and, having been interrupted, lost interest in training new recruits. Besides, her original purpose for coming here was not to train new recruits. With her position, she didn't need to do such minor tasks personally.
The reason for her visit was that Giovanni had received information that the League had been taking action recently, sending many investigators to infiltrate Team Rocket. Ariana, being an executive of Team Rocket who excelled at reading people, disguising herself, had strong acting skills, and had even worked as a female spy, naturally came to test the four new recruits.
The results were surprisingly good. Among these four people, at least three of them had issues.
Ariana left the meeting room and took the elevator to a room at the lowest level of the base. A man in a suit was casually sitting on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine in his right hand and lightly stroking the smooth fur on the back of a Persian with his left hand. On the large screen in front of him, the scene of the battle in the meeting room was displayed.
"Boss, what do you think?" Ariana reported all the information she had observed.
Giovanni's deep black eyes had a victorious smile at the corner of his mouth as he said, "Not bad. Deal with the two in the Mt. Moon Base first, and as for these four... keep them for now. I have a plan."
After Ariana left, Chen Yue and the other three exchanged glances in the meeting room. Bai Yunfei looked at the two new recruits for a moment and asked skeptically, "Could your missions be undercover missions?"
Before Chen Yue and Gu Jia could respond, the chubby Liu Hu's face looked somewhat unnatural, and he impatiently cursed, "What kind of mission they have is none of your damn business! Damn, my stomach hurts so much, go find me some toilet paper!"
His attempt to conceal his intentions was becoming rather obvious.
Chen Yue suspected that Liu Hu was also on an undercover mission like himself. But Bai Yunfei, evidently used to Liu Hu's domineering behavior, didn't think much of it, and while complaining about Liu Hu's smelly fart, he left.
Team Rocket's underground base was quite extensive, and the employees had a lot of freedom in their activities here, even going out to the town at will.
With Ariana's departure, it meant that the newbie guidance in the instance for new player trainers had ended. From now on, all activities would have to be explored by the players themselves.
Chen Yue was not in a hurry; he still had a full thirty days to complete the task. However, just as he was having lunch with Mimikyu in the cafeteria, two world notifications suddenly exploded on his personal panel.
[Players Shen Mengmeng and Liu Yang have died!]
[Instance difficulty has changed! Rewards for all players after completing the task have been significantly increased!]
Years of wandering had made Mimikyu learn the ability to read people's expressions early on, so when its trainer's facial expression changed, it was keenly aware of it.Øverst på formularen
Its head, covered by the Pikachu costume, tilted slightly, its ears, strikingly similar to Pikachu's, drooping to the side, and its small face showed a big sense of confusion.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Chen Yue took a moment to calm down and didn't pay much attention to the messages above. He continued to eat the Team Rocket cafeteria's specialty - glutinous rice balls with mushroom soup.
Mimikyu, of course, trusted its feelings but didn't understand why its trainer was distressed. It could only silently brood on the side.
Chen Yue hadn't noticed it at first; he was checking Mimikyu's information panel. After the battle with Vileplume, this little guy's level had skyrocketed to level 11. As a trainer, he felt he had to praise his little companion heartily in such a situation.
But when Chen Yue looked at Mimikyu, he realized that it had been staring blankly there for quite some time.
Mimikyu's way of eating was different from ordinary Pokemon; it needed to bring the food under its costume to eat.
Although Chen Yue was curious about what Mimikyu's true form was like, he felt that it would be impolite to make such a request when he wasn't familiar with Mimikyu yet.
He thought that maybe his perfunctory attitude had hurt Mimikyu.
And Mimikyu was worried that the trainer it had finally obtained might not like it.
So, for the first time, both a Pokemon trainer with his first Pokemon and the Pokemon with its first trainer were both caught in self-doubt at this moment.
