When Ye Mingcang returned to the camp, many people had already gathered there, and everyone present was intimidated by the terrifying purple beast behind him.
At the same time, a faint killing intent always emanated from Ye Mingcang, making people feel a chill run down their spines just by looking at him. Anyone caught by his gaze felt as if they were being stared at by a prehistoric beast, and all the trial participants dared not meet his eyes, lowering their heads one after another.
For the past year, Ye Mingcang had almost always been searching for resources in the depths of the island to train his Nidoking. Most of the wild resources were guarded by Pokémon, so he was either fighting or on his way to a fight.
Occasionally, he would encounter trial participants who didn't know their place, and he would accept all comers, immediately unleashing a three-pronged attack: sending them to their demise, taking their inheritance, and spending their inheritance.
Now, the killing aura on him always unintentionally leaked out. This was also a way for him to Protect himself. The survivors on the island had all more or less heard his name, and they would walk around him if they met him in the wild.
Gradually, everyone called him “An Ye,” meaning that when they met him, it felt like the sky was covered, and darkness descended.
Even “Viper” glanced over slightly, “It seems he is that lucky kid. This time, probably no one will be his opponent in the trial. I really look forward to his future, and I hope he doesn't waste Boss Sakaki's good intentions.”
The seven-day gathering period passed in a blink of an eye, and only 32 trial participants ultimately returned alive. Two-thirds of the people died on the trial island.
The survivors would undergo the final trial, a one-on-one wilderness duel by drawing lots, and only 10 people would leave alive.
Undoubtedly, Ye Mingcang survived and became the first place in this trial. His Level 22 Nidoking also earned him the title of Team Rocket Superior Squad Leader.
In his previous life, he was an assassin, so even after inheriting the original body's memories, his interest in training was still not great, and he never thought of returning to the breeding house in Goldenrod City.
Ye Mingcang single-mindedly carried out missions, accumulated points, and improved his strength. 18 months after becoming a Team Rocket Squad Leader, Nidoking entered the Gym Leader Class, and he successfully promoted to Platoon Leader, becoming a subordinate of Lambda, one of Team Rocket's “Four Generals.”
Ye Mingcang originally thought that life would continue like this day by day, but as it turned out, the unexpected still happened, as expected.
On this day, Ye Mingcang had just completed a mission to assassinate a direct descendant trainer of a certain Alliance and returned to the underground sub-base to rest.
Suddenly, he felt the ground shake, the entire base swayed, dust fell from the ceiling, and red alarm lights flashed non-stop.
From the broadcast: “Alliance dogs are attacking! Everyone, prepare for battle!”
“I am Lambda! Everyone, let's kill the Alliance dogs together! Those who flee without fighting will be considered traitors! Kill without mercy!”
“Everyone, charge out! Quickly!”
“Boom~ Boom~ Boom~”
Just as Ye Mingcang was about to rush out of the base, he saw three yellow figures in the sky, and the person with red hair and a black cape on the back of the dragon-shaped creature in the middle. That person had sharp eyes, and his killing intent was completely undisguised.
(The Lance here is the Lance from the special manga, the dark version! In the manga, Lance has one Dragonite and two Dragonair. Here, they have all evolved.)
“Team Rockets! You bugs, all of you shall be buried!”
“Dragonite, Draco Meteor * 2!”
“Dragonite, Dragon Rush!”
“Gyarados, Earthquake!”
“Charizard, Fire Blast!”
“Aerodactyl, Hyper Beam!”
Lambda had already rushed out of the base at this time. Seeing Lance at full power, he had no intention of fighting.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Only the sound of a dozen Poké Balls bursting was heard. Lambda unhesitatingly released his Weezing army!
“Lance! If you don't let me live, I won't make it easy for you either!”
“Weezing! Self-Destruct * 12!!!”
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“Holy crap!” Seeing this scene, Ye Mingcang immediately chose to hide in the base, releasing Nidoking and his other three Pokémon.
“Protect * 4!”
However, Lance came with a murderous intent, and Lambda shamelessly chose to escape!
The intense collision of Champion-level Pokémon and Elite-level Pokémon moves leveled the ground within a few kilometers.
Deafening roars tore through the air, and a brilliant white flash instantly consumed all colors. Two violent energies collided, crashing into each other in mid-air like divine punishment!
Space seemed to be torn open, and the shockwave exploded in a ring. The ground collapsed with a mournful cry, and shattered rocks and metal fragments were melted into crimson meteors by the high temperature, scattering in all directions. Black smoke billowed upwards, but in the next second, it was stained scarlet by the flames of the explosion, like a monstrous giant flower blooming in the center of the battlefield.
Finally, everything returned to dead silence, with only the flickering flames on the scorched earth and the ashes slowly drifting down from the sky, proving that this destruction had once existed.
A purple shadow was seen rushing out of the dust and heading into the distance. It was Lambda's Crobat carrying him away. Lance in the air was covered in dust, and his several Pokémon had taken considerable damage from directly absorbing 12 Self-Destructs. He stared intently at Lambda's retreating figure, then looked at the completely collapsed Team Rocket HQ, and recalled his 5 Pokémon with Poké Balls.
“Dragonite! Chase!”
As Lambda and Lance left, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and there were no living people left.
Although Ye Mingcang had immediately retreated into the base and had his Pokémon use Protect, the gap between Gym Leader Class Pokémon and Elite and Champion was simply too great… He was still inevitably crushed to death by the stones from the aftermath, at the age of 13!
...............
In the ruins of these broken walls, in an inconspicuous corner, a miraculous scene reappeared. Ye Mingcang's body was once again enveloped in green light, his wounds rapidly healed, and his tightly closed eyes slowly opened.
“My head hurts so much!”
“Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?”
After the three soul-searching questions, there was a moment of bewildered helplessness.
I remember, when I just walked out of the dormitory building, someone shouted, “Watch out!” I looked up and a large flowerpot was smashing towards me! Then I lost consciousness…
“Holy crap!”
“Is this a ruin? Or the end of the world?”
“This purple monster is?! It's Nidoking!”
“I transmigrated?! The Pokémon world!”
“Wait, how did my original body die? Was he also smashed to death?!”
“What a coincidence! This is the Pokémon world. If I were a Psychic, a hundred flowerpots falling from high altitude wouldn't kill me with Confusion, right?”
“Ding! Feeling your strong desire, Psychic awakened!”
“System! System Daddy! Is that you, System Daddy?”
“Panel? Deep Blue? Attribute panel?”
Ten minutes later.
“System? System Daddy? Deep Blue? Modifier? Arceus? Dad? Grandpa? Say something!”
An hour later.
“Dad! System! I'm kneeling for you! Come out!”
Three hours later.
“Dad, sigh… It seems I'm an orphan… System Daddy doesn't love me anymore…”
The “Second Generation” Ye Mingcang finally accepted the fact that after transmigrating, there was only one gift package, and no system for a short period.
“Speaking of which, I transmigrated, why don't I have the original body's memories?”
“Was this an Earthquake? Or what kind of disaster happened? How do I call the police?”
“Speaking of this Nidoking, it's my Pokémon, right?”
“Fortunately, it only fainted, not died. Go, Poké Ball! Oh! No, come back, Nidoking, you did very well!”
“Ye Mingcang” before transmigration was a university student named Mingcang, a complete Pokémon fan! He despised “Ash,” and when playing games, he liked strong Pokémon!
“I wouldn't even raise a Pidgey or a dog!”
“It definitely has to be pseudo-legendaries! Metagross! Salamence! Garchomp! Strength is justice!”
“Mega Evolution, Dynamax, and Terastallization, I wonder if they exist in this world! It's said that new Mega Evolutions are coming out, I wonder if they exist in this world?”
“Nidoking is also pretty good! A cannon, not bad, not bad!”
That's right, he was also a chatterbox!
“Ah! My head!”
Perhaps Arceus couldn't stand it anymore, a steel plate fell from the cracked ceiling and knocked him unconscious…
Then, while unconscious, he received the memories of the original body and the previous transmigrator…
Drowsily, Ye Mingcang woke up.
“The original body was a Pokémon breeder, what a pity, he died too early, just a novice, no, a beginner.”
“The First Generation, hmm, this guy, I don't know what he did before transmigrating. All he knew was doing missions, doing missions. His Pokémon were only Nidoking, Weezing, Arbok, and Golbat?”
“Good heavens! Team Rocket's starter trio is complete!”
“Uh, it seems they all died from being crushed. A family should be complete and tidy?”
“No! I'm Team Rocket! This base was destroyed by Lance! Then the Alliance people must be coming soon!”
“Run!”
Although Mingcang was chuunibyou, he wasn't stupid!
Mingcang, while running, thought, “Mingcang? Ye Mingcang? It's a good match! Then from now on, I am Ye Mingcang!!”
“Pokémon Master, here I come!”
And so, Ye Mingcang, with his severely injured Nidoking, became one of only two people from this sub-base who returned alive to the main base. The other was Lambda.
It's just that his change was a bit drastic, from a taciturn, ruthless, and quiet killer to a cowardly, glib-tongued chuunibyou teenager. Fortunately, the former didn't have many friends, and almost everyone who knew him died in the sub-base, so no one found it strange.
At this moment, Ye Mingcang was in the main base, researching information and planning his future.
“Team Rockets definitely can't be stayed in for long. After all, it's high income, high risk. The attack on the breeding house three years ago was probably to collect Pokémon. It seems the Mewtwo project started several years ago.”
“Team Rocket's operations haven't shrunk, which means the Mewtwo project hasn't reached its end, and there's still time before Team Rocket is completely eradicated by the Alliance.”
“I'm a Psychic now, the first priority is to figure out my Psychic level and how to train my Psychic abilities!”
“As a Psychic, I definitely need Psychic-type Pokémon, but unfortunately, System Daddy isn't helpful, he didn't even give me a Data Eye, so finding hidden gems is impossible. Pokémon that have been scanned cost millions of points, tens of millions of league currency, too expensive, too expensive.”
“My Nidoking just entered the Gym Leader Class, which is enough for self-preservation for a short time, but my other three Pokémon died in the aftermath, what a pity.”
“The First Generation was such a homebody! All he knew was doing missions. I don't even know the timeline now, and I don't know if there's a Silph Co., if Red and Green exist. Lance, Steven, and Cynthia have appeared, and news from regions like Kalos, Alola, Galar, and even Paldea has been coming in gradually in recent years.”
“The power system and evolution system are unexpectedly complete. It seems there's no chance for a transmigrator like a Pokémon professor to show off…”
