Mimikyu

He opened his eyes.

Utter silence.

The room was square, with a narrow space of about ten square meters, and four bunk beds were placed inside.

It was just like a collective dormitory from his high school days.

What had happened?

Chen Yue's memory was still stuck at the moment when the taxi he was in was hit by a large truck.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar environment.

Four bunk beds, each with a person lying on it.

Chen Yue quickly glanced and noticed that among this group of people, there were both men and women, young and old, all lying there quietly, as if asleep.

Well, it seemed to be a mixed-gender dormitory.

Suddenly, under Chen Yue's silent gaze, the remaining seven people began to wake up one after another.

Some of them had shocked expressions on their faces, some were in disbelief, and some exchanged glances with the person on the opposite bed with a calm expression.

"Where is this?"

"What happened?!"

"What's going on? Who are you people?"

One of the chubby guys propped himself up from the bed and muttered, "Newcomers again?"

He somehow found a cigarette from somewhere, lit it, and took a puff, enjoying blowing smoke rings.

Upon hearing his words, the newcomers all turned their heads.

Under the gaze of everyone, the chubby guy finally opened his mouth slowly and dropped a bombshell, "You're already dead."

After saying that, he didn't speak again.

Another slender young man, who disagreed with him, glanced at him with a smile and took over the conversation, explaining:

"This is the Infinite World, just like it's written in online novels. You'll shuttle between different instances, complete tasks, and accumulate enough points to resurrect."

He paused and his face showed a longing expression, "Or start a new life in another world."

"Tsk!" The chubby guy sneered, reaching out and scratching the air in front of him. He directly took out a round, red-and-white spherical object.

A flash of white light, and a strange creature with short limbs, round body, and white fur all over, with a nose like a pig's, appeared in the chubby guy's arms.

As a Pokemon fan, Chen Yue recognized the identity of that creature at a glance.

—Mankey! Fighting-type Pokemon!

Pokemon, also known as Pocket Monsters, are cute creatures that exist in manga, anime, and games.

Not only Chen Yue, but all the other newcomers present also recognized this Mankey.

A black-haired boy exclaimed in excitement, "It's Mankey!"

An old man with white hair couldn't believe his eyes and rubbed them as if he might cry on the spot, "My goodness! In my lifetime, I actually crossed over into the world of Pokemon!"

The young man smiled slightly and continued, "As you can see, all the selected Infinite Players are fans of Pokemon. By accumulating a certain number of points, you can exchange for a ticket to settle in the world of Pokemon."

"Great, great!" The old man was so excited that tears flowed, and he wished he could jump and run a kilometer.

Another short-haired girl who had been silent asked, "So, how do we earn points? Do we do tasks?"

The slender young man smiled, "Don't worry, the tasks are coming soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside in the corridor.

Then, the door to this eight-person dormitory was opened.

A man wearing a white uniform and a duckbill cap walked in.

"What the... What's the situation with this instance?" The chubby guy stared at the big letter "R" on the man's chest and muttered under his breath.

The newcomer scanned the crowd expressionlessly and said in a calm tone, "Congratulations on successfully passing the assessment and becoming official members of Team Rocket."

"Next, you will be assigned to different bases to work for Team Rocket. Now, get out of bed immediately! Go and receive your starter Pokemon!"

With that, his gaze lingered on the chubby guy and the slender young man. "You two don't need to choose Pokemon. Go to the station outside, and someone will send you away."

The chubby guy and the slender young man exchanged glances and obediently followed the path indicated by the man.

With the departure of the only two veteran players in this instance, all that remained were newcomers.

At this moment, a blue panel popped up in front of Chen Yue.

[Main Quest 1: Follow Passerby A and receive your starter Pokemon.]

Others also looked at the empty air in front of them.

Clearly, they had also received the Main Quest prompt.

The group followed a Team Rocket member named Passerby A out of the door and arrived at a room with six red and white Poke Balls.

Passerby A stood to the side with his hands behind his back, his tone devoid of emotion. "Go and get your own Poke Ball."

No prompts, no introductions.

No one knew which Pokemon was inside the ordinary red and white ball; everything was random.

Even someone as quiet as Chen Yue couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.

There was no concept of queuing in Team Rocket.

The crowd swarmed the table, quickly emptying it of Poke Balls.

Chen Yue took the one on the far left.

As soon as he held it, the specific information of that Pokemon automatically appeared in front of him.

Mimikyu

Level: LV1

Gender: ♀

Type: Ghost, Fairy

Ability: Disguise

Inherited Moves: Destiny Bond

Known Moves: Scratch, Astonish, Copycat

The next second, the Main Quest automatically updated.

[Main Quest 2: You are an undercover agent sent by the Kanto League to collect Team Rocket's criminal clues.]

[Objective: Collect a piece of Team Rocket's criminal evidence and report it to the Kanto League! Newbie instance, no punishment for failure!]

[Time Limit: Thirty days! Overdue counts as a mission failure!]

[Newbie Tip: Beware of other players! Not everyone can be trusted! Train your Pokemon and strive to complete the mission to survive!]

When Chen Yue finished reading with an unchanged expression, a seemingly outgoing man approached to inquire, "Hey, Brother, which Pokemon do you have? Mine is a Zubat!"

Chen Yue smiled politely, "Mimikyu."

There was nothing to hide, and others would find out sooner or later.

The man looked somewhat envious, "Nice!"

Chen Yue nodded towards the opposite side and gestured, "There's a Squirtle over there!"

"Wow! One of the starter Pokemon!" The man's eyes widened as if he had never seen the world before. He immediately went over and started talking to the short-haired girl holding the Squirtle.

Chen Yue held the Poke Ball in his hand and swallowed nervously, pressing the button on the Poke Ball.

A white light flashed, and Mimikyu appeared on the ground in front of him.

Chen Yue crouched down and extended his hand nervously to the small creature that resembled Pikachu.

Pokemon was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

In Chen Yue's childhood, after watching countless episodes of Pokemon on Golden Eagle Cartoon, he had fantasized countless times about crossing over to that world and becoming a trainer.

But now, in the moment when he had his own Pokemon, it still felt surreal.

Mimikyu hesitated as it looked at the hand reaching out to it. When the hand touched its body, it froze entirely.

—In the past, whether it was humans or Pokemon, they all feared it because its true form looked too terrifying.

In order not to be disliked by others, it created a cloth mask in the likeness of the popular Pikachu to cover its body.

Human touch and proximity were very unfamiliar to it.

Just then, it heard the somewhat clumsy greeting from the human in front of it, "Hi? Your name is Mimikyu, right? I'm Chen Yue, and unless something unexpected happens, I'll be your trainer from now on. Don't be put off by me, okay!"

...

Mimikyu: Great, I have a trainer too.
