The back door opened quietly like a huge swallowing mouth, it was pitch black with no light coming out.
Mingzheng was not afraid, he was just thinking about the appropriate level of surprise if he really saw Sakaki.
Shock? Shocked and then realized? Expressionless face but seismic pupils?
Mingzheng suddenly felt that sometimes it was tiring to know too much.
Thinking like this, Mingzheng walked in quietly and closed the door smoothly.
Then, the door opened automatically again.
"???"
"There will be people coming later, why are you closing the door?"
The voice sounded, and Mingzheng dug his toes into the ground in embarrassment.
He turned around and saw Xia Bo, the leader of the Red Lotus Gym, slowly walking towards him holding a candle.
"Xia...Master Xia Bo?"
Mingzheng stared, nervous and guilty, and then looked confused again.
Xia Bo didn't have any doubts about Ming Zheng's change of expression, he just stretched out his hand to reveal the Rockets logo inside his white coat.
"follow me."
Xia Bo said softly, then turned and walked towards the basement.
Ming Zheng was stunned for two seconds, then turned to look around, and then followed cautiously.
This smooth and flowing performance was like instinct, perfectly explaining the shock and confusion when I first discovered that Xia Bo was also a Rocket, and the subsequent understanding and excitement.
Pa tap~ tap tap~ tap tap~
On the stairs leading to the basement, Xia Bo and Ming Zheng walked one after another. The light in the basement became brighter and brighter, and finally an ordinary small living room appeared.
As for the man, he was sitting on the sofa in a straight suit, casually flipping through an old book.
Finally, the two of them walked into the living room.
"coming."
The voice was thick and magnetic. Sakaki closed the book and finally looked up at Mingzheng.
Mingzheng pretended to suppress his inner nervousness and hummed softly.
Sakaki's voice was exactly the same as the one that came from the phone at that time, so after hesitating for two seconds, Ming Zheng pretended to shout tentatively.
"BOSS?"
Xia Bo glanced at Mingzheng, but Sakaki nodded lightly, not surprised that he was guessed.
"Sit down and wait for one more person."
After Sakaki finished speaking, Xia Bo consciously returned to the first floor to wait.
Suddenly, only Mingzheng and Sakaki were left in the living room.
The atmosphere became dull, Sakaki didn't take the initiative to speak, and Mingzheng couldn't say much.
But it also gave him the opportunity to observe the legend Sakaki up close.
It is slightly different from the appearance of Sakaki in the original work. The current Sakaki is slightly younger, but the momentum of a superior is already very obvious.
The slightly sinister eyes and thick eyebrows give people a strong sense of aggression, and they don't look easy to mess with.
A few minutes later, there was a noise on the stairs, and two footsteps, one fast and one slow, were seen. Xia Bo came down with a muscular man wearing camouflage uniforms and blond hair.
The shock in the blond man's eyes has not disappeared, and he was shocked again after seeing Sakaki.
But he saw Sakaki put down the book in his hand again and looked at him.
"What, you forgot me?"
"Saka...leader?"
The blond man obviously also remembered Sakaki's voice, which also appeared in his communicator.
When he challenged Tokiwa Gym, Sakaki did not say anything.
When the two were combined, the blond man was undoubtedly shocked.
"Um"
Sakaki no longer tried to hide it, nodded towards the blond man, and then looked at Uncle Xia.
Xia Bo understood instantly and immediately answered, "Everyone is here, let me introduce you first.
Boss Sakaki, the leader of our Team Rocket, is also the leader of Tokiwa Gym.
Mingzheng, senior intelligence officer at Yuanxi Base, champion of the Sinnoh-Suzuland Tournament.
Ma Zhishi, a senior intelligence officer at Kuye City Base, runner-up in the Kanto-Quartz Competition, and a major in the Alliance Air Force. "
Compared with Ming Zheng, Ma Zhishi has another identity.
The moment Ma Zhishi arrived, Mingzheng recognized him, but he didn't expect that Ma Zhishi had only met Sakaki for the first time now.
"I am the person in charge of the Red Lotus Research Institute and the leader of the Red Lotus Gym, hehe~"
Finally, Xia Bo introduced himself cheerfully, just like a happy little old man.
Sakaki obviously didn't care about Uncle Xia's tricks and went directly to the topic.
"Ming Zheng, Ma Zhishi, you are the two best young talents of the Rockets in recent years, and I can finally meet you in person."
Sakaki, who looks serious and serious, speaks like a spring breeze.
Mingzheng and Ma Zhishi both lowered their heads slightly to show their modesty, but they quickly raised their heads.
Sakaki looked at the two of them with admiration in his eyes.
He is not afraid of his subordinates being proud, arrogant, and ambitious, and he even prefers the former to his subordinates who are just getting by.
Therefore, Sakaki raised the corner of his lips and said directly: "The Rockets do not have foolish ideals, they only have realistic goals of living a better life for themselves, their partners, and their families.
I always practice this principle, and I hope that partners who join the organization can get the strength, wealth, power, and even affection they want here! "
There are no false great ideals. Just like his title of King of the Earth, Sakaki is down-to-earth and does not engage in empty heads.
Mingzheng couldn't help but recall the time when he was earning points little by little in exchange for resources.
If he hadn't accidentally established a relationship with the Devon Group and the Yamanashi Research Institute, I'm afraid he would have had to rely on the Rockets as a platform for a long time.
Even now, Gala Gala can firmly occupy the top spot in the team, and its training manual is a reward given to it by boss Sakaki with a wave of his hand.
Taking a deep breath, Mingzheng tried to wake himself up a little.
It must be said that Sakaki's words may seem ordinary, but when they come out of his mouth they are extremely inflammatory.
In just two sentences, Mingzheng's favorable impression of the Rockets increased more than a little.
Could this be the aura of overlord?
Mingzheng looked up and saw Ma Zhishi opposite, whose eyes were full of fire.
Although it was only the first time they met, he felt that following Sakaki must be the right decision. Those words just now seemed to speak to his heart.
But Sakaki continued: "We all have a common goal, so naturally we should work together for a win-win situation.
You are outstanding, outstanding and irreplaceable.
I also have something to give to you. "
Here comes the topic!
Both Mingzheng and Ma Zhishi were in high spirits.
Just like Sakaki said, isn't it about strength, power, and wealth to join Team Rocket?
Sakaki looked at Ma Zhishi first, and with a wave of his hand, Xia Bo walked over with a portfolio.
"The current leader of the Dead Leaf Gym took it from your father. Now I will give you the opportunity to fight back. As long as you can defeat Newster, you will be the new leader of the Dead Leaf Gym!"
Newst, the current leader of the Dead Leaf Gym, specializes in... rock type!
The rocky ground is indistinguishable, which is tantamount to defeat for Ma Zhishi who uses the electric system. This is also one of the reasons why Ma Zhishi's father lost back then.
Ma Zhishi took out the documents in the portfolio and his eyes turned red without even looking at them.
These documents revealed the truth about the replacement of dead leaf gym leaders. Newster's rise to power was obviously not so innocent.
As long as these information are handed over to the alliance, Ma Zhishi will come forward to defeat Newster head-on, and finally Sakaki will operate from it, it will be easy to get the gym back!
And obviously Sakaki can do everything, and then give the Dead Leaf Gym directly to Ma Zhishi.
But in the middle, he asked Ma Zhishi to defeat Newster by himself, just to relieve the knot he had felt over the years.
This gift was truly delivered to Ma Zhishi's heart.
Mingzheng was just watching and felt a little shocked, not to mention Ma Zhishi himself?
He understood more and more deeply that there was a reason why the Rockets could grow to such an extent.
So, what does Sakaki want to give himself?
"When you are ready, hand over the information to the Alliance. You need to take back the Dead Leaf Gym yourself."
"Yes! Chief!"
Then, Sakaki turned to look at Mingzheng.
Mingzheng did not dodge, and he and Sakaki looked at each other, but their hearts were already in their throats.
The corners of Sakaki's lips curled up slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I thought you had a deep conflict with Ziyuan Town, and I wanted to see if I could help you resolve it.
But now they have too much time to take care of themselves. The anger of a dying person is very terrifying, and those who do wrong will eventually pay the price. "
Mingzheng frowned subconsciously. Hearing these words, something happened to Ming and Ju's family again?
But when Sakaki said this, he changed the subject and handed over the old book he had been holding.
“You have a free and easy nature, pursuing strength and freedom.
If I can't help you with freedom, then I will give you strength! "
At this time, Mingzheng also took the book and saw the five large characters on the worn cover.
【The Secret of the Earth】
Suddenly, Mingzheng raised his head and looked at Sakaki in disbelief.
Mystery, that is, the power of a heavenly king.
Although Ming Zheng had fantasized countless times, by completing Team Rocket's missions and accumulating contributions little by little, he would eventually obtain the elf training manual after the quasi-king level.
But unexpectedly, Sakaki once again sent a big gift, a big gift that he couldn't refuse.
Obviously he hasn't given anything to the Rockets yet, but Sakaki keeps giving him anything.
It is impossible for Mingzheng to repay a favor, and Sakaki obviously knew this through various channels.
Therefore, Mingzheng was a little overwhelmed by the intensity of investment.
"BOSS, thank you!"
After a thousand words, Mingzheng could only say this sentence in the end.
Sakaki, why can't you be stingy?
If you give too much, your path will be too wide!
After giving the gift, Sakaki was concerned about the two people's next plans.
Mingzheng has nothing to hide and made it clear that he will join the regional team and continue to grow stronger.
Regardless of Ma Zhishi's previous plan, it has now become a plan to recapture the gym.
And once Ma Zhishi is based in the port city of Kuye City, it will naturally be of various benefits to the Rockets.
Mingzheng looked at the three people present. If Nazi, who was still making babies, was included, half of the Eight Avenues Hall in the Kanto region would be included in the Rockets in the future.
Good guys, the Kanto League can be changed directly to the Rockets League.
After witnessing this historic scene, Mingzheng returned to his room with a surge of heart.
He couldn't wait to open [The Mysteries of the Earth], and found that there wasn't much he could understand, and the descriptions were more like those for elves.
In this case, Ming Zheng immediately called Gala Gala over.
"I'll read it to you. If you don't understand anything, feel free to interrupt me."
"Gah~"
Gala Gala nodded, being very tolerant of Mingzheng and letting it experiment on him.
"The secret of the earth lies in its tolerance, vastness, overturning, and abyss..."
In Yunliwuli's words, Mingzheng knows each character individually, but he doesn't understand them when combined.
But Gala Gala was different. She opened her eyes at first, but gradually she sat cross-legged on the ground, with brown light shining around her body, as if she was feeling something.
Mingzheng looked at it strangely, but he did not forget his mission and continued to read slowly in a low voice.
After three times, Gala Gala's aura circulated throughout her body, and after ups and downs, she easily broke through to the Intermediate Gym Leader level, and the effect was immediate!
Ming Zheng looked at Ga La Ga La who was keeping her temper low and restrained, and couldn't help but rub her.
It doesn’t matter if the owner is an intermediate level, he’s not just allowed to be rubbed by me.
Gala Gala lay in Mingzheng's arms, wanting to struggle but afraid of hurting Mingzheng.
Now that it has become stronger again, even if it is a human-shaped elf, it will be difficult for it to be Gala Gala's opponent.
"Gah~gala~"
"Would you like to read it every day from now on? No problem!"
Mingzheng naturally agreed to this request.
The word "esoteric meaning" is still a bit far away for them, but the meaning will be apparent to them after reading it a hundred times. Maybe they will have an epiphany after reading it every day?
It was night, and the excited Ming Zheng forced himself to sleep under Shuttlecock Mian's sleeping powder, and brought the elves to the dream world.
Daily training is the foundation for Mingzheng and his partners to become stronger. He never stops training unless there is an emergency.
And compared to when he had the power of fantasy dreams at the beginning, Mingzheng has also made considerable progress.
Under the dream mark, even if Nian Meier and the others are far away in the Sinnoh region, they can still be photographed by Ming Zheng and come to the dream world after falling asleep.
In this way, no matter where his friends are, Mingzheng can get together with them every night in the dream world.
As for the problem of needing to overeat early in the morning, it is not difficult to hide it if you hide more during the day.
The busy night passed quietly. Mingzheng got up on time and opened the curtains.
Say hello to Rondo's big rock snake again.
"Is Rondo here?"
"Woo~"
"Okay, I'll find him later!"
Last night, Dawu left a message that he would pick him up this morning.
Ming Zai doesn't know many people in the league, but Rondo and Lingling are both good friends.
After saying goodbye to the two of them one by one, Mingzheng also came to the elf center of the headquarters to join Daiwu.
"Is there anything else important next?"
As soon as they met, Dawu asked straight to the point.
Mingzheng curled his lips, if he didn't understand anymore, the man in front of him might be really angry.
"Let's go to Dasha Valley first. There are no outsiders there."
Dawu raised his eyebrows and had many questions in his mind, but in the end he didn't ask.
"Let's go."
Half an hour later, Mingzheng and Dawu got on the private plane and flew straight to Dasha Valley.
On the plane, Mingzheng saw Daigo's shiny metal monster for the first time.
Yes, his shiny iron dumbbells have also completed their evolution, and their gorgeous silver light is no less impressive than that of Mingzheng's metal monster.
"Elite senior! Are you growing too fast?"
Mingzheng looked at Daiwu's shiny iron dumbbells and felt his teeth tighten.
Hearing this, Dawu curled up his lips in a subtle way, finally feeling a little proud after so many days.
"Platinum and palladium charcoal can accelerate the growth of steel elves. I found a little bit of it some time ago."
Mingzheng immediately looked at Daiwu with bright eyes, his meaning was self-evident.
