Chapter 306: Team rocket’s requirement

[ POV Change ]

[ Celadon City - Hotel ]

Pikachu and the rest of the gang stared in wonder as they watched Jessica and Joffrey, two members of the notorious Team Rocket, suspended in mid-air, their bodies writhing and contorting as they struggled against an unseen force. The two villains were badly bruised and battered, their faces were swollen and bloodied, evidence of the harsh interrogation they had just undergone at the hands of Austin.

Jessica and Joffrey sang like canaries for Austin as he had called upon, Abra and Musharna, to use their psychic powers to seal away the memories of the interrogation.

With their eyes closed and their bodies trembling, Abra and Musharna focused their powers on Jessica and Joffrey, slowly erasing any trace of their previous conversations with Austin. The two villains continued to struggle, but their efforts were in vain, as the psychic seals took hold, rendering them unable to recall any of the events that had happened 

As the process came to an end, Lucario, a powerful aura Pokemon, stepped forward, ready to use his abilities to hide the psychic seals from prying eyes. With a wave of his paws, he unleashed a burst of aura energy, enveloping the room and ensuring that no one would be able to detect the presence of the seals.

Pikachu and his friends watched in awe as the room filled with a soft, shimmering light, the psychic energy swirling around them like a gentle breeze. For a moment, everything was still and silent, until Jessica and Joffrey finally slumped to the ground, their bodies exhausted and weak.

Celadon City, known for its opulence, grandeur, and riches, was a place where one could easily get lost in the dazzling lights and exquisite surroundings. The bustling streets, filled with luxurious boutiques, cafes, and restaurants, were a sight to behold, attracting visitors from far and wide. The scent of perfume and freshly baked bread filled the air, and the laughter of the wealthy echoed through the city's towering buildings.

However, the southern edge of Celadon, nestled away from the glitz and glamour of central Celadon, told a different story. Here, the streets were narrow, dark, and dreary, with crumbling buildings and shattered windows, the pungent smell of garbage and decay lingering in the air. Poverty-stricken people, dressed in tattered clothing, walked around with heads bowed, their eyes downcast, a reflection of their hopelessness and despair.

For years, the people of southern Celadon had lived in these conditions, forgotten by the rest of the city. They had struggled to make ends meet, scraping by on meager wages and living in squalor, while the rest of Celadon reveled in their wealth and extravagance. It was a stark contrast, a symbol of the class divide that plagued society, a reality that many refused to acknowledge.

[ Celadon City - Southern Suburbs ]

The dilapidated shop on the edge of Celadon City's southern suburbs stood as a testament to the area's economic struggles. The air hung thick with a sense of despair and hopelessness, making it the perfect breeding ground for Team Rocket members. Most of the organization's recruits joined out of desperation, unable to afford a starter Pokemon and become trainers like others. They joined Team Rocket to escape the poverty and slums they were trapped in, to provide for their families, or even to fuel their vices. Team Rocket only recruited those who were desperate enough to join and cunning enough to stay.

On this particular day, a group of individuals arrived at the shabby shop one after another. They had all come to take the Team Rocket Rookie test, their faces etched with determination. Among them were a red-haired girl and a blonde, who approached the front of the shop with a trace of nervousness.

The man sitting behind the counter was the person responsible for conducting the test. He looked at the duo and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Have you thought clearly? You know, after entering, it will be difficult to get out of it."

The blonde replied in a calm tone, "Please tell me the directions, Mister. We have nothing to lose. So we are not afraid of anything."

The man laughed, "Haha, it looks like you two are determined. Do you see the marks on the stone? Follow these marks, and you will reach the end."

He then threw a small object toward the duo, which they found to be a plain black stone. It was like a token, without which, they would likely not be able to find the destination.

As the duo walked away from the shop, their skin appeared to turn into a purplish slime, peeling off to reveal Austin and Green. Austin wiped off the sweat from his face, while Green gulped down a bottle of water before teasing him. "You know if your lips touch that bottle, then it's an indirect kiss," she said, handing him the bottle.

Rolling his eyes, Austin chugged down the water before looking at Green with a smirk. "I got the indirect one, can I get a direct one?" he said, his heart beating faster.

Green smirked, approaching his face and breathing on it. "First, you feel me for free, and now you want a kiss. Bold, aren't you?" she said, making Austin's face turn red with embarrassment.

"Keep trying, Mr. Ketchum, but you can't beat the master," Green said as Ditty covered her face with a disguise and Austin followed suit.

.........

The sun was beginning to set over the forest as Austin and Green followed the directions given to them by the man. They trudged through the woods for what felt like hours until finally, they reached a cabin with a Fearow perched atop it. As they approached, an ugly man appeared in the doorway and glared menacingly at them.

"Hey, what are you doing here, brat?" the man snarled, eyeing them up and down.

Most people would have cowered in fear at the sight of this brutish man, but to Green, who had spent most of her life in the seedy underbelly of society, and to Austin, who had faced horrors beyond imagination, this man was just another face in the crowd. They held up the Black Token, and the man's eyes immediately honed in on it.

Without a word, the man opened the door, revealing a room full of unconscious individuals. Green couldn't see much in the darkness, but Austin's sharp eyes scanned the room, taking in every detail.

Once they had handed over the token, the man ushered them inside and closed the door behind them as sleeping gas filled the room. Green was knocked out while Austin pretended to be unconscious, waiting for the next move.

It wasn't long before a group of masked individuals arrived and began loading the unconscious people into white delivery vans, each bearing the Sliph Corporation logo. Austin knew that this was just a disguise to avoid raising any suspicions, but he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

As they were driven away, Austin began sending out Aura pulses, hoping to get a sense of where they were headed.

[ Omake Paragraph ]

Many women have used the pokemon Ditto as a metaphor for their objectification, or as a protest of their social roles in a male-dominated society. This metaphor is a powerful one, for Ditto are seldom sent to battle, but are prized by breeders for their ability to produce offspring of an enormous number of pokemon, some of whom are not known to reproduce in any other way. And given the potential which Ditto possesses, it is an enormous shame.

Most trainers believe Ditto is capable of transforming only into their opponent, and this is indeed true of a Ditto which lacks effective training. These poorly-trained Ditto are as unable to beat a Magikarp as they are Arceus himself, for transformation takes time, and opposing pokemon (unlike most anime villains) do not respect the custom of not attacking during a transformation sequence.

In the hands of a Ditto master, however, few pokemon are more powerful. A skilled Ditto can shift between many memorized forms, only limited in scope by the time it takes to learn them and their trainer's imagination. They are so amazing in a battle that these Ditto were banned from the highest levels of the pokemon league, in tourneys where even the gods have been allowed to compete. Some great trainers seek Ditto specialists out anyway, in the hopes of finally finding a worthy opponent. They typically find their first loss in ages.

Ditto masters do not find enough opponents to make a living off prize money, however, so they and their pokemon earn sustenance either by putting Ditto to use in its many industrial applications or by theft, for there is no more reliable way to earn a living as a master of disguise.
