Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Chapter 646: Haou's Determination

Xijiana stood with her arms folded. She was almost unscathed in the previous battle.

"As you thought, the other party took advantage of the weakness of Melemele Island and wanted to kidnap Liliae," Xijiana frowned and said, "He also used a kind of drug when kidnapping Liliae, the same one he used when kidnapping me a few days ago..."

"So, you were indeed kidnapped a few days ago?"

Xijiana realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and her face turned red instantly.

"Don't misunderstand me. Those people are just greedy for money, not lustful, so they didn't do anything excessive to me..."

"I know, but I think you don't need to keep everything in your heart," Yang Ming stroked her hair and said softly, "Just think of me as your brother, someone you can talk to."

Yang Ming's eyes were full of tenderness. Xi Jiana's heartbeat quickened involuntarily. Her face turned redder and she lowered her head.

"You are such a self-willed idiot, who wants an idiot brother like you!"

Although Xi Jiana said this, she did not avoid Yang Ming's hand. Even though she knew that the other party was just trying to win people's hearts, she also enjoyed the feeling of being cared for.

"By the way, how strong is that man in the peaked cap?"

"Very strong, but still a little worse than me," Shigana paused, then continued, "That guy is good at using Psychic-attribute Pokémon. Although I have defeated several of his Pokémon in a row, he also successfully used teleportation to escape."

"If I'm not mistaken, the guy's true identity is Zaobo, the second-in-command of the Aether Foundation," Yang Ming analyzed. "This time we were tricked by the Aether Foundation. They deliberately made this invitation letter to gather all the famous masters in the Alola region to the Aether Paradise, and then take advantage of the lack of power on Melemele Island to kidnap Liliae."

"In addition, they also set up a trap for me in the Ether Paradise, seemingly trying to win me over."

Xi Jiana was a little surprised and asked: "What? You were attacked too?"

"That's not the case." Then, Yang Ming briefly described to Xi Jiana what he had seen and heard at the Ether Foundation.

"What? You were taken advantage of by that old woman Lusamine?!" Xijiana's face darkened, "Nian Meilong, use the water gun!"

Yang Ming was hit by the water gun unexpectedly, and his whole body was soaked and he looked miserable.

"What are you doing? Ouch!"

"I'm doing this for your own good," Xijiana said seriously, with her hands on her hips, "That old woman buried your face in her chest, so your face is no longer clean. I'm washing away the filth for you!"

"What kind of perverse logic is this..." Yang Ming complained in his heart. She clearly said just now that she didn't want a brother like him, but her reaction now was no different from that of a typical tsundere sister.

"By the way, Hau is currently recovering at the Pokémon Center. Do you want to go see him?"

"That's natural," Yang Ming said, "He is my student, so there is no reason for me to ignore him."

……

Inside the ward, Haou sat on the bed with a dejected look on his face. Although the injuries he and his Pokémon suffered were not serious, the battle still dealt a heavy blow to him.

"I lost... I lost completely... I failed to protect Liliae... Even though she is my good friend..."

"If it weren't for Sister Shijiana, Liliae would have really been taken away by the bad guys!... I'm so useless! If it weren't for me turning a deaf ear to the teacher's words and doing nothing all day, how could I have lost so miserably!..."

Yang Ming remained silent. Indeed, among his two disciples, Haou's talent was not much worse than Yin's. In fact, when they first met, Haou's strength was much stronger than Yin's.

But as Yin continued to forge ahead, his progress could be described as rapid. On the other hand, Haou's progress was slow due to his lazy character. If the two were to fight again, Haou would probably be pinned to the ground by Yin.

"It's great that you realize the shame and then the courage," Yang Ming said calmly, "So, what are you going to do next?"

"I want to go to Ula'ula Island to train myself," Hawu clenched his fists. "Meilemei's home is too comfortable, and the people on the island won't take me seriously for my grandfather's sake. I can't improve myself here."

"But Ula'ula Island is full of gangs and dangers. That kind of environment is more suitable for honing my skills."

Yang Ming was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I will tell your grandfather about your idea, he shouldn't object to you."

"But Ula'ula Island is a very chaotic place after all. I'm worried about letting you go there alone."

Yang Ming threw him a Poké Ball and said, "Here is a quasi-king-level poisonous jellyfish. Let it ensure your safety during this period."

Yang Ming now has no shortage of quasi-king-level Pokémon, so temporarily lending him a stinging jellyfish will have almost no effect on his combat effectiveness.

"Thank you, teacher! I will definitely not let you down!"

The next day, Yang Ming told Hala about Hao's idea. The latter just nodded and said "I see" without any other reaction.

Yang Ming knew that the other party had already agreed with Hao's idea, so he didn't say anything else.

In order to protect Liliae, Yang Ming simply took her out from Dr. Kukui's house and slept with her.

Of course, "sleeping together" here does not mean really sleeping together, but letting Liliae and Shijiana sleep in the same room, and booking another room next door, so that he can protect her 24 hours a day.

Afterwards, he contacted the brothers Marein and Mamane to discuss the manufacturing plan of the Zygarde Polyhedron in detail.

"It seems that the cost of making this thing is quite high," Ma Ruiyin said. "From the design drawing, it needs top-grade superalloy to make this thing. This material is very expensive on the black market. I really don't know what this thing is made for."

Yang Ming readily agreed: "It's okay, I will pay for the production of this thing, you just need to collect the materials and then come to me for reimbursement."

This is a device used to capture legendary Pokémon, so Yang Ming could accept it no matter how high the price was. To be safe, he even sent the Rockets trio to help Ma Ruiyin and his brother F.

Only after finishing these things did Yang Ming have some free time, but he still had to hang around the school as a school director and discover some useful talents.

Compared to Yang Ming's limited situation, the Ether Foundation is in a gloomy situation.

"You mean to say that after using all my trump cards, I still can't beat a little girl?"

Lusamine looked down at Zaobo, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
