Chapter 465 Divide the spoils
Taking a look at the headless corpse at his feet, Yang Ming squatted down expressionlessly and began to search the spoils on the body of the middle-aged beauty.
The crisp sound of high heels came from afar. It was Xiaochun who came over. Apparently, the battle on her side had also ended.
"My friend, you are amazing. I don't know what to call you."
Xiao Chun did have some feelings for the young man in front of her, so this proud woman also wanted to make friends with him.
"Yang Ming from Manjin City, a small character affiliated with the Rockets Team." Yang Ming stood up and brushed off the dust on his body.
"Team Rocket?!" Xiaochun's face was instantly filled with vigilance. In her mind, Team Rocket was a notorious evil organization.
"Don't be nervous, we are allies now." Yang Ming took the Poké Ball in his hand and collected the Pokémon of the middle-aged woman one by one. His identity as Team Rocket was actually revealed during the battle with Yuan Zhu, so he simply stopped pretending.
"But, but I still think it's a pity?" Xiaochun continued to persuade, "Evil organizations like Team Rocket have done countless bad things. You are so young and so capable, it's not too late for you to get out of there now."
Yang Ming turned his head and looked at her: "Then where do you want me to go?"
"My cousin is the chief investigator of the alliance. As long as you nod, he can definitely arrange a good place for you." Xiao Chun looked at Yang Ming sincerely.
"You are the fourth person who wants me to join the alliance," Yang Ming said as he collected the spoils. "You know, the gap between people is sometimes even greater than that between people and animals."
"Do you remember what was the first Pokémon you got?"
"Mini Dragon." Xiao Chun said without hesitation. As a direct descendant of the dragon-controlling clan, she has been cultivating feelings with the mini dragon since she was a child.
"But in this world, many people's first Pokémon are Vaporeon, Arbok, and even Zubat and Rattata," Yang Ming raised his head and looked into the distance, "and this is not the most outrageous thing. Compared with Dratini, which has long been tamed to be close to humans, they need to risk their lives to tame those Pokémon that have just been captured from the wild and are extremely aggressive."
Xiaochun listened quietly, thoughtfully.
"And many more people can't even step into such a life. They can't legally own Pokémon, and can only do hard work in extremely bad conditions, living a short and hopeless life."
"Of course, I don't want to whitewash the Rockets. Evil people are evil people, and their evil deeds cannot be legalized because of their previous experiences," Yang Ming sighed, "It's just that when many people need to do evil to create opportunities to change themselves, this society is much worse than them."
"...I understand what you mean." After a long silence, Xiaochun Xiaochun slowly spoke, "Maybe our positions have already been determined, but I believe that our paths will eventually converge."
"Maybe. Instead of this, let's distribute the spoils. This is the top priority for me." Yang Ming suddenly said seriously, with a much more serious attitude than before.
Xiao Chun couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "You are really an interesting person. You looked so mysterious just now, but now you care so much about these things."
"I'm not the eldest son or daughter of one of your top families. As Team Rocket, don't we rely on stealing other people's Pokémon to obtain resources?"
Finally, the two of them divided up the six Pokémon of the middle-aged beauty. Yang Ming got Alola Ninetales, and Xiao Chun got the other five Pokémon and the Mega Evolution Stone.
This distribution is normal, because in the previous battle, Yang Ming played a supporting role, breaking the shell of the Thorny Shell and the Aurora Curtain of Alola Ninetales, while Xiaochun was responsible for the frontal attack and killed all Pokémon including Mega Blastoise.
Of course, Alola Ninetales is also the Pokémon that Yang Ming specifically wants. This Ninetales has a hidden ability called snowfall, and its value is second only to Mega Blastoise, and is higher than the other four Pokémon combined.
Even if Yang Ming is unable to tame it, the benefits of handing it over to the Rockets alone are immeasurable.
Xiaochun didn't say anything and agreed to Yang Ming's distribution plan.
"Hey, are you just going to deal with these spoils so casually?" Yang Ming couldn't help but ask as he watched Xiao Chun casually stuff the precious Blastoise Mega Stone and the Poké Balls containing Pokémon into his bag.
What a joke, this is a precious resource! Looking at the Alola Ninetales that he had collected like a treasure, Yang Ming couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"These things are not particularly rare to me." Xiao Chun looked relaxed. After all, she was born in the Yulong family and she had seen many treasures of this level.
In her opinion, only dragon-attributed Pokémon are the rarest and noblest, and she looks down on other Pokémon.
"You are so rich! Since you are so rich, why not give me these Pokémon?"
"No," Xiaochun shook her head, "I plan to hand these Pokémon over to the Alliance's specialized agency. They will be responsible for re-taming these Pokémon and letting them live a new life."
"Really?" Yang Ming did not comment. "Then I have to remind you that some people in the alliance may be involved in the illegal trade of these Pokémon, and may even be related to people in the Hunter Organization."
Yang Ming had spent some time in the Hunter Organization's base in Manjin City, the "Black Street", and knew that in addition to illegally robbing Pokémon, the Hunter Organization also had connections with some of the Alliance's top leaders. Although the Alliance had recently undergone a purge, Yang Ming did not think that this kind of contact would be completely cut off.
After all, Hunter J is also his enemy, and he doesn't mind tripping up the enemy a little more.
"I'll pay attention." Xiaochun winked at him, "Then we'll part ways now."
"Well, see you later."
Looking at Yang Ming disappearing into the forest, Xiao Chun fell into deep thought.
"Although the impression is very vague, why do I feel like I have seen this person before..."
"Ah! I remember now!" Xiao Chun slapped his forehead, "He is the person my cousin was looking for before!"
After the Santiano incident a year ago, Du once searched for Yang Ming under the instructions of Damalanchi, but because the photo was too blurry and Yang Ming had already left Kanto, the matter was eventually left unresolved.
Xiao Chun had also heard Du mention this matter and had seen the blurry photo. After all, according to the original arrangement, Yang Ming was to become her disciple.
Xiao Chun felt dizzy when he thought about the fact that his former comrade-in-arms almost became his "apprentice" a year ago.
It seems like I have grown younger without realizing it.
"Anyway, his progress is too fast. He was not even an elite a year ago, but now he can even participate in the battle between quasi-kings. Does Team Rocket really have some special training techniques?"
"No, I can't lose to him. Next time we meet, I must surprise him!"
Xiaochun secretly made up his mind to regard Yang Ming as his competitor.
