Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Chapter 660: Venusaur and Gyarados Mega Evolution Stone

The reason why Yang Ming accepted Sakaki's transfer order to come to Alola was, on the one hand, to stay away from the disputes between the Alliance and Team Rocket, and on the other hand, to establish his own power in Alola, a neutral area independent of the two major forces.

So his goal is to become one of the four island kings in the Alola region.

Now that the position of King of Bonny Island is vacant, it is the best time for him to take over.

But even so, Yang Ming did not dare to act rashly. Because he knew very well that the Alola region had long been outside the Alliance's rule, and the local conservative forces were very strong. As an outsider, even if Yang Ming had a close relationship with an island king, it would be difficult for him to get promoted without sufficient achievements.

So during this period of time, he has been connecting with those powerful and prestigious people in Alola. The Kukui couple, Chengye Oak, the Haono Group, the captains, the Ma Ruiyin brothers, and the little princess Acerola are all his targets.

While winning over these powerful people, Yang Ming was also constantly improving his reputation among the common people. He built bridges and roads, established schools, stopped the rioting Overlord Pokémon, and took in refugees... He did everything he could.

But this alone is not enough, Yang Ming still needs the support of several current island kings. As the first senior he knew, Hala would naturally support him without hesitation. Then the only ones left are Lizi and Merdan, whom he has not met yet.

Now that Lizi has taken the initiative to ask him for help, it is naturally a great opportunity.

However, he did not intend to agree to Lizzie's request directly.

"This... Miss Lizi, are you looking for a boyfriend who can share your worries?" Yang Ming pretended not to understand the other party's hidden meaning and said nonsense, "I'm sorry, I probably can't help you in this regard."

Huh?! Lizzie was stunned. She thought that if she gave a few hints, the other party would volunteer to help. She didn't expect that he would bring up her life-long event.

Yang Ming continued to play dumb: "Alas, a beauty like Miss Lizi who is both talented and beautiful and rich, even I am a little moved. If I didn't already have a girlfriend, I'm afraid I would also like to enjoy the happiness of working ten years less."

Li Zi's face flushed red. She had always maintained a good figure, but she had always suffered from not having a boyfriend. Now that Yang Ming teased her like this, she felt embarrassed and annoyed: "Who... who wants to find a boyfriend! I just want to ask you to help fight those bandits entrenched in Ula Ula Island!"

Seeing that Lizi had taken the initiative to make the point clear, Yang Ming was immediately delighted, but he did not directly agree to the other party's request. Instead, he said with difficulty: "It is an honor that Queen Lizi thinks so highly of me. However, after all, I have just arrived in Alola not long ago, and my foundation is very shallow. The people under me have just started training. I am afraid that I will disappoint the Queen's expectations..."

Li Zi saw that Yang Ming's words hinted at rejection, and immediately frowned, and said anxiously: "Mr. Yang Ming, I know you have the ability. Those bandits are becoming more and more rampant, and have seriously affected the lives of the residents on the island. As long as you are willing to help, I can provide you with the resources and support you need."

Seeing that the other party had taken the bait, Yang Ming was secretly delighted, but he was still hesitant: "But my men are all newly recruited after all, and their combat effectiveness is limited. They can't become combat-ready immediately by piling up resources..."

"It's okay, we can wait!" Seeing Yang Ming's attitude soften, Li Zi was overjoyed and patted her plump chest and said, "There is no time limit for this operation. Whether it's five years or ten years, we can wait! As long as we can finally bring peace to Alola, I can promise you anything!"

Judging from her attitude, if Yang Ming asked her to marry him, Lizi would probably agree immediately.

Yang Ming was secretly delighted, but his face showed a reluctant look: "Thank you very much, Queen, for your trust in me. I will arrange the training of the troops right away, and strive to pacify Ula Ula Island as soon as possible. However, this task is too difficult, and I really don't have the confidence to win. If I fail in the end, I'm afraid Her Majesty the Queen will be greatly disappointed..."

"Don't worry, I won't blame you. As long as you try your best, I won't complain even if you fail," Li Zi was overjoyed when she saw Yang Ming finally agreed to help. She said quickly, "It's already very great that you, an outsider, are willing to help us quell the rebellion. How can I dare to have other extravagant hopes?"

"In my mind, Mr. Yang, you are already a great hero."

Lizi became more and more excited as she spoke, and finally she even began to call herself "little girl". It seemed that she really regarded Yang Ming as a hero.

Xiao Juer on the side was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that Yang Ming could deal with the island queen of Akala Island with just a few words.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Yang Ming decisively stopped while he was ahead. He patted his chest and promised that he would definitely help Lizi quell the civil unrest on Ula Ula Island. Lizi was so moved that she said that she must marry a hero like Yang Ming in the future.

Afterwards, Yang Ming had a detailed discussion with Lizi about the current difficulties and the funds and land he needed. Lizi agreed without hesitation to provide everything he needed, and also promised to provide Yang Ming with all the conveniences as the queen of the island.

After discussing official business, it’s time to talk about personal matters.

"I wonder if the Queen has ever seen the Mega Evolution Stone of Venusaur and the Mega Evolution Stone of Gyarados?" Yang Ming asked, "Of course, I also know the value of these two Mega Evolution Stones. I will not take them for nothing. I will exchange them with my own Mega Evolution Stone."

He did not ask for the two evolution stones by taking advantage of the opportunity to quell the rebellion because he wanted Lizzie to owe him a favor. Only in this way would Lizzie support him in becoming the new king of the island in the future.

And if he wanted to get these two mega evolution stones for free now, the matter of suppressing the rebellion would become a complete transaction. In this way, he would not be able to make Lizzie owe him a favor, which would be detrimental to the overall situation.

Yang Ming is not such a short-sighted person, not to mention that he just happens to have three useless mega evolution stones in his hand.

"The Mega Evolution Stones for Gyarados and Venusaur... I'll get them for you right now."

After a while, Lizzie took down two mega evolution stones, one blue and one green, from the attic. Yang Ming took a closer look and found that they were the evolution stones for Bulbasaur and Gyarados that he needed!

"I have Alakazam, Steelix and the Mega Evolution Stones in my hand, let's use them to exchange!"

After saying that, Yang Ming took out the three mega evolution stones that he didn't need and placed them in front of Lizi.
