"Datafication release."
Yang Tao stomped hard on the ground, and instantly the ground cracked. The Growlithe, which had just been healed, fell directly to the ground.
As for the Growlithe that was preparing to leave with Yang Tao, the other party instantly disappeared from its eyes. The next moment, that human appeared in front of it, and a fist brushed past its head, smashing towards the forest behind it.
Boom.
Rankyaku was released in the form of a fist wind, and dozens of large trees were cut down and fell.
Yang Tao stood with his fists ready, smiling as he stroked the Growlithe's head and said, "You lost, come with me."
A gust of wind blew, and Growlithe felt a chill down its spine. That was the feeling of death brushing past. It looked back at its companion, who was sprawled on the ground, and the collapsed forest.
Growlithe shivered.
"Woof woof!!" Master, wait for me!!
It ran towards Yang Tao on its short legs.
Growlithe successfully captured.
…
Viridian City.
Yang Tao got off the sightseeing car, holding Caterpie, and looked at the tightly shut Viridian City Gym.
"Why isn't Giovanni staying put in the Gym? Why is he running around for no reason!"
The Viridian Gym Leader isn't doing his job properly, insisting on forming some illegal organization. When I have time, I'll definitely report him to the Alliance Headquarters.
Since Boss Giovanni isn't here now, Yang Tao has no choice.
Viridian City is a medium-sized city in the central-western part of the Kanto region, of course, this 'medium' is based on the scale of cities in the Pokémon World.
In Yang Tao's opinion, Viridian City barely counts as a county town, and it's the kind with a small population, but the buildings are spacious and not crowded, and the greening work is also very good, making it a very suitable place for retirement.
On the road, he occasionally saw people passing by with Pokémon. A funny thought suddenly popped into Yang Tao's mind.
'How about letting Conan bring the shrunken Ran to this world to be a trainer?'
As for the schooling issue.
At most, he could take a year off. For the Detective Conan World, a year or two is nothing, and he could also exchange notes with Ash, a ten-year-old boy with twenty years of travel experience.
After parking the car at the Pokémon Center and seeing the cordon that had been pulled up, Yang Tao's expression showed a helpless look.
The originally luxurious and impressive Pokémon Center in Viridian City was now riddled with holes, and a large group of onlookers gathered at the edge, watching the commotion.
Some police officers were investigating the scene.
'Sigh~ Team Rocket truly causes destruction wherever they go…'
No need to guess, this must be the masterpiece left by Team Rocket and Ash last night. With the Pokémon Center destroyed, Yang Tao could only leave for another important place.
'Pokémon Supplies Supermarket'
Yes, it's the shop from the game.
The shop was much more luxurious than the one in the game, and it also had a dedicated dining area.
Looking at the price of the most common red and white Poké Balls on the shelf.
'Two thousand a piece? Is this Viridian City shop robbing people? Where's Team Rocket? Hurry up and smash this black market!'
In the game, it was only 200 a piece, but here it's 10 times more. Is there no justice, no law?
With this thought, Yang Tao glanced at other goods and couldn't help but sigh that there really was no law in this world!
Potion 3000, Super Potion 7000…
Yang Tao: "…"
It's too damn dark. Being a trainer really isn't for just anyone. If you don't have a Gym Leader for a dad or a Pokémon Professor for a grandpa, and your family isn't wealthy, then just give up on this dream. Actually, being a miner, a bug catcher, or a fishing enthusiast also has a lot of promise.
Yang Tao, who had originally wanted to sell some gold to buy some Poké Balls, directly turned around and left. It was like selling an old popsicle for 5 yuan; even if you have money, you'd still grumble a bit.
'Do it yourself, and you'll have plenty!'
At worst, he would make his own Poké Balls to avoid being exploited by these vampire-like peers.
Driving towards Viridian Forest, north of Viridian City, it was nearing noon, and they happened to arrive at a small lake. Yang Tao parked the car by the roadside.
The clear lake water sparkled, combined with the dense surrounding forest, it was simply the perfect camping spot.
"You guys wait here for me first, I'm going to pick up two people."
Just as he was about to leave.
[World Exploration Value 7.52%]
He turned his head and saw a man and a woman emerge from the forest, carrying a Meowth wrapped up like a zongzi with white silk threads.
"Team Rocket??"
The two were the true protagonists of Pokémon, Jessie, James, and Meowth.
Hearing Yang Tao call out their organization's name, the two immediately stopped and looked at Yang Tao.
"Oh ho ho~ I never thought just anyone could recognize us!"
Jessie, with long pink hair, wearing a white top with a red "R" and a white hip-skirt, looked at him and let out a peculiar laugh. James, standing beside her, played along like a straight man in a comedy duo: "That's natural, after all, we are Team Rocket."
Yang Tao: "…"
Team Rocket isn't that famous in this anime world. Players only think Team Rocket is famous because of their God's-eye view.
Except for these two, other Team Rocket members wouldn't casually wander around wearing strange Team Rocket uniforms.
However, a smile appeared on Yang Tao's face as he knowingly asked, "Who are you?"
Usually, it was others who triggered his passive ability, but this time, it was his turn to trigger theirs.
This sentence seemed to hit a strange switch in the two of them. Jessie immediately put her hands on her hips and said, "Since you asked so sincerely!"
"We will tell you with great mercy!"
"To prevent the world from being destroyed!"
"To protect the peace of the world!"
"To carry out evil with love and truth!"
"Cute and charming villain characters!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"We are Team Rocket, soaring through the galaxy!"
"White Hole! A white tomorrow awaits us!"
Meowth, who had been tied up with white silk threads, actually broke free from the threads and jumped between the two: "That's right! Meow~"
These words weren't funny, but the most hilarious part was how these two clowns, with their strange movements, recited them so seriously.
"Hey, who are you?"
Ding~
Reverse passive triggered.
Yang Tao wondered if he should say some chuunibyou lines to give these three a shock from another world, but on second thought, he decided against such embarrassing things.
After all, he still wanted to have a good time in this world.
He skillfully took out his business card, lightly fanned it open, and three business cards flew towards the two people and one cat.
"It's a pleasure to meet you three."
Jessie glanced at the name on the business card and softly mumbled, "Yang Tao…"
Then the two people and one cat huddled together and whispered. James: "Damn it, this guy's methods are so impressive, he's outdone us!"
Meowth: "That guy's Slowpoke is so fat, its tail must be delicious. How about we steal its tail?"
Jessie secretly glanced at Yang Tao and also lowered her voice, saying, "The shiny Caterpie isn't bad either. Although Caterpie are numerous, a shiny one can sell for a lot of money!"
Just then, Yang Tao's voice came from behind them: "Have you discussed it?"
