Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Shirona naturally didn't know Yang Ming's little thoughts, but became more and more satisfied with his humble attitude.

"No wonder grandma admires him so much. This man's character and ability are indeed outstanding." Shirona commented in her heart.

"Ms. Champion, in order to destroy Team Ginga and recapture the Three Lake Gods and the Diamond Jewel, I suggest you gather all the forces of the Sinnoh region and deploy the 'Ten-Sided Net' tactic to completely capture Team Ginga!"

"Ten-sided net?" Shirona repeated with interest, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Yang Ming nodded and began to explain in detail: "Yes, the environment inside Tianguan Mountain is complex. If we send too few people, not only will we fail to destroy Team Galaxy, we may even be ambushed by them and be wiped out."

"Even if you, Miss Champion, went to Tianguan Mountain alone, you would probably be ambushed by Team Galaxy and become their prisoner for no apparent reason."

"That makes sense." Sirona nodded.

"So if we want to wipe out Team Galaxy in one fell swoop, we must gather enough people to block all the traffic arteries on Tianguan Mountain, leaving Chiri no way to escape!"

"Not only that, we also need to gather those masters who are familiar with the passages to the underground world, such as Donggua, the gym master of Shuimai City, and Piaotai, the gym master of Heijin City. Have them act as guides and lead elite troops into the underground world. Together with the army waiting outside, we can wipe out Team Galaxy in one fell swoop!"

Next, Yang Ming introduced the specific deployment of the "Ten-Sided Net". In his plan, not only the Sinnoh League's investigators and gym leaders would participate in the battle, but also the police from all over the place would be mobilized, and even civilian trainers would not be spared and would all participate in this battle.

"To achieve our goal in one fell swoop, we must mobilize enough forces to prevent the Galaxy team from escaping."

Shirona was stunned by Yang Ming's trick. As the champion of Sinnoh, her strength was naturally unquestionable, but unlike Du who was a League investigator, Shirona had never participated in the battle to eliminate evil organizations, which resulted in her having almost no experience in this area.

On the other hand, although Yang Ming's current strength is still not as good as Shirona's, his experience in fighting is far greater than the latter. As a person who has fought for a territory with real swords and guns, Yang Ming can fool Shirona even if it is a "fake battle".

The two discussed this all night long. During this time, Yang Ming even wrote several pages of densely packed notes on white paper on how to mobilize troops, how to block major traffic arteries, and how to ensure logistics. Shirona was so moved that she was speechless.

"King of the Island, I wonder if you have a family in the Alola region?" After hesitating for a long time, Shirona finally made up her mind and decided to win over Yang Ming according to Dr. Mustard Orchid's idea.

"Family? I'm still single. Miss Champion, what are you going to do..."

"To be honest, although I am the champion of the Sinnoh region, my greatest hobby is archaeological research," Sirona looked at him sincerely, "so I need a helper now who can help me solve these problems."

"In my opinion, the Island King's talent is top-notch in all of Sinnoh. If you're given enough time, it's possible for him to become the champion in the future."

"So I plan to nominate you as my deputy. This way, we can complement each other's strengths. Not only can we handle official business together during the day, but we can also have Pokémon battles at night. This will greatly benefit both of us."

"And after I resign, I will nominate you to become the next champion of the Sinnoh region. By then, I believe that with my family's power and prestige, there will be no doubt about your championship."

"Hmm... it's indeed a very generous offer," Yang Ming replied seriously, "It's a pity that my career in Alola is on the rise, and I don't want to move for the time being."

"Really? That's really a pity." Shirona didn't force it, because she could see that Yang Ming was the kind of person who would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Such a person would not even be willing to be her assistant, let alone a son-in-law.

It wasn't until the next morning that Yang Ming left Sirona's residence. Cattleya had been waiting outside the door. Seeing the two of them come out looking exhausted, her expression suddenly changed.

"Hey! How long have you been in Sirona's boudoir?"

Before Sirona could walk away, Cattleya grabbed Yang Ming's ear and asked, "Didn't I tell you not to get too close to her?"

"I wasn't that close to her, was I? We just chatted about business all night," Yang Ming said unconcernedly. "Besides, weren't you the one who let me get close to her before? Why are you unhappy now?"

"Well... that was then, and this is now! Anyway, you're not strong enough right now, so it's best not to get too close to the Sinnoh Champion, lest you incur the envy of others," Cattleya explained hurriedly. "By the way, you said you spent the entire evening chatting with her about official business. What exactly did you talk about?"

"The Three Lake Gods have been captured by Team Ginga. If my predictions are correct, something big is about to happen in Sinnoh."

Next, Yang Ming briefly recounted to Cattleya the information he had heard from Sirona and his own guesses.

"Are you saying that Team Galactic might take action against Dialga and Palkia?"

Yang Ming nodded slightly. "Of course. The birth of the Three Lake Gods is related to the gods of Time and Space. Team Galaxy no longer has a foothold in Sinnoh, so they have no choice but to take a gamble and begin their plan to control the two legendary Pokémon ahead of time."

"If that's the case, then you shouldn't stay in Sinnoh anymore," Cattleya suddenly said. "Come on, come with me to Unova. This mess in Sinnoh is no place you can get involved in."

"Why?" Yang Ming asked in surprise.

"I asked you to come here because the enemy we have to face is only Team Galactic, with Thatch and the Hunters at most. Now that Team Galactic is about to awaken two legendary Pokémon, this kind of battle is no longer something you can participate in. You'd better leave with me immediately. Let the Sinnoh League deal with this mess here."

"And don't think Unova is boring. Xiaojuer recently renovated Raven City. When we get there, I'll take you to explore the new amusement park. I heard the Ferris wheel there is a popular date spot for couples."

"...I won't go."

"Of course, if you don't think it's exciting enough, I can help you find Xiaojuer, and the two of us beautiful ladies will accompany you to tour Raven City together."

"I already said I'm not going!" Yang Ming objected fiercely, "I want to stay in Sinnoh and fight that old thief Red Sun!"
