Facing the three sisters who bowed together, Jon scratched his eyebrows helplessly.
"That is to say, Hualan Gym is now facing a debt crisis and is almost unable to continue operating, right?"
Sakura: "This is the situation, dealing with the challenges from trainers, and maintaining the venue..."
Peony: "Even if I sell tickets shamelessly, I want to make some money back..."
Acorus: "I have started to make ends meet recently..."
Jon opened his mouth.
But remembering that Nidoking's two "digging holes" almost damaged the entire platform, he could only smile awkwardly and said: "If I remember correctly, the alliance will provide subsidies to various gyms."
Sakura was a little embarrassed, "There is a subsidy, but we sisters are all trainers who are good at commanding water and ice Pokémon. We must be in a specific environment to maximize our combat power."
Mudan continued: "That's why we renovated the Hualan Gym and introduced living pools and water pumps."
Chang Pu chuckled: "Finally, I thought, since we've done it this way anyway, why not build it more beautifully? We might as well expand the stands and build a light fountain or something like that..."
Hearing this, Jon understood.
Daqing is another little girl's "Kayan" style.
How can the old-fashioned Cerulean Gym be worthy of the Mermaid Sisters?
Out of practical needs and spiritual needs, the sisters discussed it together and decided to change it!
After the modification, it looks pleasing to the eye.
But the balance of payments has also been broken.
Unlike Xiaogang's dark gray gym, the land and mud will be fine no matter how hard you toss them.
The venue of Hualan Gym is quite delicate.
However, it is also our responsibility to select capable trainers for the alliance.
The three sisters felt miserable and could only hold on.
By coincidence, the Alliance recently sent out another mission: to investigate the strangely moving Cerulean Cave.
The three sisters are in a dilemma.
Don't go.
It violates the responsibility of the owner.
Go ahead.
If closed...
I won’t be able to pay back the money next month!
In this situation--
A powerful trainer who is "sometimes as fierce as a storm, sometimes as moist and silent as drizzle" appears.
That's right.
That's Jon!
"We will prepare corresponding rewards!"
"Only investigation, no need to fight..."
"Please, Jojo!"
The three sisters bowed again.
Jon was speechless for a moment.
Speaking of "Hualan Cave", he had an impression.
The recent strange behavior of the Pokémon in Cerulean Cave, if I am not mistaken, should be related to Mewtwo.
Hey.
Mewtwo.
Jon's eyes lit up.
Although I know it's impossible to conquer that guy, it's always possible to see it with your own eyes.
However, he still had a troubled expression on his face.
"Tsk, it's a bit difficult..."
Sakura reassured: "We just need to investigate. With a powerful trainer like you, there will definitely be no problem."
Jon said nothing.
Seeing this, Mudan quietly pulled off her sister's sleeve.
Sakura was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly she felt blessed, "By the way, I saw that Gyarados didn't have any props with him just now. Please accept this as a deposit for investigating the Cerulean Caves."
As he spoke, he took out something from his body like magic.
Jon looked carefully.
It turned out to be a ‘mysterious water drop’.
‘Mysterious Water Drop’ is a power-up item that can be carried by Pokémon to increase the power of water-based moves.
To be honest, it is quite precious.
Anyway, Jon also had the idea of exploring the Hualan Cave, so he agreed without any shameless request for benefits.
"Very good!"
The three sisters were very happy.
Anyway.
If you don't close the shop, you will make money.
If you make money, there is no need to close the shop.
Um?
How come you feel like working for the sake of working?
"Tomorrow, I will go to Hualan Cave to investigate." Jon said, "I expect to give you a definite answer within a week."
"Then it's up to you!"
The three sisters bowed again.
Jon waved his hand and left the Cerulean Gym with the 'mysterious water drop' and the shared auspicious egg.
"Huh~" Sakura sighed after the outsiders left, "This problem has finally been solved."
Mudan: "Yes, Qiaoqiao is so strong, there must be no problem."
Chang Pu: "I hope he can be as reliable as Xiaoxia's letter said. The value of the 'mysterious water drop' is not low."
Sakura smiled: "Don't worry, trainers like him have pride and persistence in their hearts and will not break their promises easily."
…
…
After restoring the Pokémon to a healthy state, Jon deliberately found an open space and released Gyarados.
"This will be yours to keep from now on."
Carefully stuffing the 'mysterious water drop' under Gyarados's scales, Jon patted the big red monster and said, "You performed well today. I'll have extra food tonight."
"Roar!" Gyarados slapped its tail happily.
Be cruel to others, but don't dare to be cruel to your own trainer.
Gyarados knows that if he offends his trainer, he will really get beaten...
"Okay, okay." Jon reassured and took Gyarados back to the Poké Ball.
Immediately afterwards, he released Nidoking.
"Nidonido."
Nidoking lowered his head affectionately and rubbed Jon's head with his horn.
"If you do better, you'll get double dinner."
"Nidonido!"
Nidoking stuck out his tongue like a dog.
Bigger body, more appetite.
And after evolution, Nidoking's potential has not been exhausted.
Although slowly, height and weight continue to increase.
To be honest, if Jon wasn't short of money.
Most people simply cannot afford to support this guy.
"I don't have any suitable props at hand right now. I'll give them to you when I have the opportunity in the future."
Adhering to an attitude of treating everyone equally, Jon wrote a blank check to Nidoking.
Of course, Nidoking knows that trainers never lie, and this blank check will be cashed sooner or later.
call out--
Put Nidoking away.
Jon looked at the auspicious egg: "You are also the hero today. You executed the orders very well. Tell me what reward you want."
"Geely, Geely~" Geely Dan waved his little hand.
Jon shook his head: "No, you have to choose one. If others have it, you have to have it too."
"Geely, Geely..." Geely Dan was a little embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, she shouted: "Geely, Geely!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You said you want a cookbook? Make egg dishes more suitable for human consumption, ah... okay, I promise you." Jon scratched
Scratching the brow.
Every auspicious egg feels full of kindness.
He is also thinking about rewarding the lucky eggs, and the lucky eggs are already considering taking care of him.
She is indeed the first designated nurse in the Pokémon world!
Look at the sky.
Branches above the moon.
After a busy afternoon, it’s time to eat.
Normally, Jon would solve the problem of food and clothing by himself and Gilly Egg first, and then feed Nidoking and Gyarados alone.
Hualan City is very big.
There are also many restaurants.
After searching on Pokémon Navigator, he decided to take the lucky egg to eat special ramen.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the door of the ramen shop, I saw three familiar figures.
"Strong soup! Stewed with beef bones!"
“Strong noodles! Thousands of times tempered!”
"Come and eat! Meow!"
The Rockets trio were wearing store uniforms and shouting hard.
Jon's expression became a little subtle.
"Huh? This guest, would you like a bowl...ah! It's you!" Kojiro was the first to spot Jon standing at the door of the store, with a professional smile on his face.
When he finally saw who was coming, he suddenly woke up and couldn't help but scream.
"Kojiro, you are so rude to your guests!" Musashi subconsciously scolded him.
Then when she saw Jon, she screamed even louder than Kojiro.
"Hey! What are you two doing?" Meow Meow turned around angrily.
Meeting Jon's eyes, he suddenly collapsed on the ground: "It's... it's you..."
"Geely Geely?" Geely Egg was extremely confused, seemingly confused about the situation.
Jon took the initiative to step forward and said, "Isn't your reaction a bit rude when we meet again after a long separation? Is Team Rocket so courageous as they travel through the galaxy?"
"Don't... don't underestimate us!" Musashi suppressed the fear in his heart and gritted his teeth: "Damn man in black, I will make you pay the price this time!"
"That's right!" Kojiro also agreed.
Meow Meow's eyes averted and she rarely made any sound.
"Geely geely!"
I don’t know what the situation is, but I’m going to fight, right?
Geely Egg has a serious face.
She won't let anyone hurt the trainer!
Seeing that a ‘war’ is about to begin——
Just then, the proprietress wearing a triangular scarf came out cursingly: "Hey, you three, you have to work hard to attract customers!"
"I'm sorry!" "I was wrong!" "I won't dare next time!"
The trio is instantly stunned.
The landlady was furious, but when she saw Jon, she suppressed her angry thoughts and said with a smile, "Do you want ramen? Our ramen is the best in Cerulean City."
Jon hasn't answered yet.
Kojiro said stupidly: "It is indeed the best."
Musashi: "The soup, noodles, and side dishes...it's so addictive."
"That's it, meow~"
Gululu...
Living treasure fully explains what living treasure is.
As they spoke, the stomachs of the three of them began to growl.
Jon was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand generously: "Five bowls of special ramen, for me and my... er, friends."
friend?
The trio's ears twitched slightly, with different expressions.
Half an hour later.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
"That is to say, we worked hard to get here by bicycle, why are we not allowed to use the local base and canteen?"
"Achievements! Achievements! Achievements! Our performance is a little bit behind, but it's not because we don't work hard!"
"They completely regarded us as a joke, meow~"
For the first time, Jon learned that soda can also make you drunk.
Geely Dan hated this the most and kept comforting the three of them with his little hands.
Musashi seems to have a special affection for the lucky eggs, and he cried so hard that he burst into tears.
Kojiro kept sighing.
He planned to do something to silence those guys who once looked down on him.
Who can imagine...
‘You will die before you leave the army’.
In Hualan City, not only did they not receive any help, they ended up sleeping on the streets because they had no money.
Forced to make a living, he had to work everywhere and became a working warrior.
Jon asked curiously: "Does Team Rocket have no activity funds?"
At this time, Kojiro no longer cared about leaking the secret or not, and said truthfully: "Yes, but our team has always received the minimum funding."
Meow Meow interjected: "This money is not enough to maintain the machinery every time, let alone other things."
Jon:…
Invention ability MAX.
Hands-on ability MAX.
Survivability MAX.
To be honest, as long as you don't think about catching the only skin god, you can shine in all walks of life.
Jon had seen an interesting question somewhere before: Why were the three members of the Rockets team who pursue a meritocracy never been expelled.
One answer is this - the trio was indeed fired during the trough of their careers, but considering the large amount of money the three of them borrowed from the Rockets, Sakaki hoped that they would serve the Rockets for life to repay the debt.
.As a result, later on, especially after the United Alliance, the trio actually became the oldest and most experienced. In addition, from time to time they falsely reported their military exploits (saying that they contributed to the disbandment of the Lava Group, Water Fleet Group, and Plasma Group). On the contrary,
Greatly promoted.
He suddenly transformed into a loyal and capable subordinate who defeated similar companies in overseas markets.
So, stupid people are blessed?
But speaking of the Rockets.
Jon thought of the task of investigating Cerulean Cave.
So, he said: "Now there is an opportunity for you to make meritorious deeds. If you want to get recognition from above, you must take action. How about you think about it?"
The trio didn't know why.
Jon explained: "It is said that there is an extremely powerful Pokémon hidden in the cave outside Cerulean City. As long as we can catch it, won't it be a meteoric rise?"
"The legendary Pokémon..."
"Stepping up to success..."
"Hold... skyrocket..."
The trio were not very clear-headed and were immediately bewitched by Jon.
Fortunately, they were not stupid to the end.
After a while, he finally came to his senses: "What is your purpose!?"
"I mean, this is weird, we are Team Rocket!"
"I once wanted to steal your Pokémon."
Jon waved his hand: "I don't have a good impression of the Rockets, but the persistence of the three of you moved me. Besides, if I really want to lie to you, do I need this method? Think about it, what is there in you that is worthy of my lie?
?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the trio looked at each other.
They all said in unison: "Yes~"
No money.
No right.
people……
That's it.
Jon clapped his hands and said, "Look, this is the situation. I need a few helpers, and you need performance, so why not explore together."
After a pause, he added: "If it doesn't work out, you can just work for me."
Set the tone first.
It will be easier to handle from now on.
The threesome were exhausted at the Rockets stronghold in Cerulean City, and they happened to be short of money. After discussing it, they simply agreed.
Jon snapped his fingers and took the lead in raising the soda: "For the sake of getting together!"
"For the sake of getting together——"
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
"Cheers! Meow!"
Once you drink soda, you become one of your own.
There is no need to hide some issues.
After chatting for a while, Kojiro casually told the reason why the three of them came to Cerulean City.
Jon blinked.
The real reason for the destruction of the Moon Mt. Rockets?
I'm familiar with this.
He said righteously: "I'm not going to lie to you, I really know this. It was Hoenn Champion Daigo and his friends who did it."
