Hua Ling arrived at a small farm in town, where a large flock of sheep were raised, and two figures, one big and one small, were working there.

Both of them had smiles on their faces, and they seemed very happy even though they were working.

The girl had a bright smile on her face, and her pink pigtails shone brightly in the sunlight.

"..."

Looking at the girl's profile, Hua Ling took out a pocket watch from her pocket, which showed the girl's image.

Looking at the two figures, one tall and one short, one could vaguely see some similarities between their faces.

She had looked at the team member's information before setting off; Gastly, as a starter Pokémon, was excellent in all aspects.

He became an orphan at the age of seven and was adopted and trained by the Rockets to become an outstanding player.

"Seven years old...three years ago...was this still possible?"

Hua Ling had a vague idea.

------

The young girl, Xiaoxi, was chatting with the adult beside her with a bright smile on her face. The person in front of her was looking at her with eyes full of love and doting.

She was enjoying the warmth of the moment and subconsciously forgot her original identity.

At this time

"Hello~ Excuse me, are you Xiaoxi?"

A young, lively girl's voice came from the side, and the two of them looked over at the same time.

The girl in pink waved to them with a smile.

"Huh? Who is this child?"

The older woman looked at her with some confusion.

"..."

Xiao Xi's face turned pale instantly, and her body trembled slightly.

The main reason was the pocket watch the other person was holding, which had a mark that only insiders could recognize.

She was eventually found. She had been prepared for this day, but she still couldn't help trembling on that day.

Noticing that something was wrong with the person next to her, the woman's doubt gradually turned into wariness, and she then embraced her "daughter".

"Please leave, you are not welcome here!"

The aunt shouted loudly in this direction, trying to drive away the person who was frightening her "daughter".

Seeing that Xiao Xi, who was being held, did not move at all, but only lowered her head and trembled as she nestled into the woman's arms.

She slowly frowned, knowing she didn't have the time or inclination to play the "you misunderstand me, I understand you" game.

"...Answer my question, are you Xiaoxi?"

The smile on her face vanished, and she asked in her original voice in a deep tone.

The girl being embraced trembled even more violently; this sound kept appearing in the videos she had been watching recently, as well as in important meetings.

"I told you to leave! Don't you understand?! Don't come near my farm!"

Seeing that her daughter was getting more and more frightened, the aunt immediately became anxious, picked up a tool from the ground, and moved closer.

The other person's youthful appearance clearly indicated that they were not a mature trainer, and the intention was to intimidate them into leaving through this method.

"...Stop making noise, take him inside, don't kill him."

Hua Ling snapped her fingers, and a black and white figure emerged from the white smoke beside her.

The woman lost consciousness instantly from the heavy blow, and then the pheromone rushed towards Xiaoxi, who was behind her.

Before the other person could react, he grabbed her by the neck and dragged them both into the farmhouse.

Hua Ling, with her hands in her pockets, slowly followed behind into the small house and locked the door from the inside.

a moment later

Hua Ling sat on a chair, holding a family photo from a few years ago. Between the two adults was a little girl with a bright smile on her face.

She heard a different story from the girl in front of her.

A clichéd, boring story about someone who thinks they've found salvation...

Three years ago, the girl caused a fire during a prank, which resulted in the deaths of her parents and the destruction of their ranch.

The girl then accepted the Rockets' offer, trained, and eventually became a member of the Rockets.

However, during this journey to a parallel world, another possibility was encountered...

Three years ago, the self in this world had an argument with his mother because of his foolishness, and ended up running away from home, which led to him falling into the river.

He lost his life at such a young age...

Every year on that day, the parents would go to the river to remember their lost daughter, and that's when they would happen to find her falling into the river...

"Heh... So, you were being indifferent to me just now,

Is it because this person is your mother in this world? That's really ridiculous.

Hua Ling rested her chin on her hand, glancing sideways at the trembling girl kneeling on the ground. In the corner of the room, there was also a Growlithe.

The man was being pinned to the ground by one of Pheromosa's feet and was struggling incessantly, while the adult was still unconscious and had not yet woken up.

"...Yes, yes, Lady Hualing, I am willing to go back with you to accept punishment. Please spare them."

The girl knelt on the ground and banged her head against the floor, because she had once been a member of the Rockets.

She understood even more clearly what her actions represented, but being willful, she couldn't easily do anything against her conscience.

"......so."

Hua Ling took out three Poké Balls that originally belonged to the other party from her pocket, played with them in her hand, and asked a question.

"You admit that you knew the Poké Ball was sealed, yet you didn't choose to go find your Pokémon, but instead let them stay inside the ball."

Are you just going to leave them stuck downstream in that river, unable to leave their Poké Balls? You're much worse than I thought!

Volume 1: Chapter 187 The Transparent Bell

Hua Ling took the person directly back to the Rainbow Foundation, and it was not her place to deal with whatever the other party had done.

Normally, the task would be carried out by the team leader of the other side, but since her father directly assigned the task to her, she handed the person over to him.

Rainbow Foundation Office

"...Is that so? To see relatives who are still alive in this world,"

And since your version of yourself in this world has died, you want to take your place and live with your parents in this world.

Would they really abandon their Pokémon, their hometown, and their identity for this?

With his back to the other person, Sakaki tapped the armrest with his fingertips, his calm voice revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"...I am willing to be punished, please spare them this time."

The girl knelt on the ground and lowered her head, while her teammates and the opposing team's Pokémon were all beside her.

The three Pokémon's faces were filled with worry, the squad leader looked extremely grim, and the expressions of his companions were also very bad.

As elite members of the Rockets who have worked hard together to get to where they are today.

He never imagined that the first traitor in the Rockets' history of carrying out this mission would be one of his own teammates.

The shame and indignation almost suffocated him. He felt that his future was bleak and he could already imagine being talked about by everyone.

"...Do you know where you went wrong?"

"I shouldn't have kept it from my superiors... I shouldn't have neglected my teammates, and I shouldn't have had thoughts of betraying Team Rocket."

The girl was now completely despondent; she could already see her fate.

Even though the Rockets have made many reforms and their methods have become much more amiable.

But in this momentous operation that concerns the entire world, the dangers of betrayal will far exceed her expectations.

"That's right... You shouldn't have hidden things from your superiors, you shouldn't have betrayed your companions, and you shouldn't have abandoned your Pokémon."

I will take back all your Pokémon and possessions.

All the merits you have earned for your contributions to the Rockets will be reset to zero.

"I will erase all your memories of Team Rocket and that world, and then expel you from Team Rocket. Do you have any objections?"

As Sakaki finished speaking, the girl kneeling on the ground suddenly looked up, and Hua Ling, who was standing to the side, also looked at him with some surprise.

"I...I...I have no objection. Thank you for the punishment, boss."

"I have let you down, I have let down my Pokémon and my companions, I have let down Team Rocket who raised me..."

The girl's voice trembled, and Hua Ling watched all of this silently from the side.

"Alright... take him away and carry it out. This matter is not to be spread."

And don't worry too much about Ak; I'll arrange for new people to fill your ranks.

"Thank you, boss!!"

The team members left together, taking their former comrades with them to carry out the punishment.

"Father...is this enough? What if someone follows her and does the same thing? What about us here?"

Hua Ling's voice was filled with confusion and bewilderment. As the first traitor since arriving in this world, why was she treated so lightly?

"...The Rockets of today are different from those of the past. We are an organization that works to explore the world and create a better tomorrow."

At this point, Sakaki turned his office chair around and looked at Hua Ling, who was only half a head taller than his desk.

"I have some impression of that child... she was a very hardworking and dedicated girl."

She's three years older than you. She joined the Rockets to have a better future and to become a better version of herself.

But if she feels that she can only find true happiness in this world, then let her stay in this world.

Since a bright future is right in front of her, she doesn't need to struggle alongside us.

However, this only applies to those who pursue a better future. If betrayal and selling out are chosen for personal gain, then...

By then you'll understand... the principle of "cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots," but I don't think I need to worry about that.

"......oh."

Hua Ling nodded thoughtfully and left the office after having no other arrangements.

Since the other party didn't mention involving her in the subsequent plans, she wouldn't ask too many questions. She just needed to be there whenever there were instructions.

a few days later

Pokémon Ecosystem

Hua Ling was lying on Bai Ci's lap, letting him massage her shoulders, while she was scrolling through her phone, looking at the news that had happened in the Kanto region in the past few days.

Team Rocket has reappeared! The Sea God shrouded in black mist! Team Rocket has fully mastered the legendary Pokémon!

The Rainbow Foundation is involved in disaster relief, but the league still has no specific plans targeting the Rockets.

Department store attacked! Company xxx declares bankruptcy.

"...Their actions are getting more and more aggressive, but there's still no indication of what will happen next? And there's still no news about those three guys."

Hua Ling muttered to herself with some doubt, as images of "Sakaki" from this world, as well as Champion Akin and the red-haired trainer appeared in her mind.

My father said they might seek the power of Ho-Oh, but is this legendary Pokémon, which is on the same level as Lugia but feels much more prestigious, really so easy to find?

The internet is now full of complaints about the Pokémon League, especially about the cities that were recently attacked by Lugia.

The Pokémon League is a truly authoritative organization, while the Rainbow Foundation is a corporation.

Despite their immense power, everyone believed it was because the Pokémon League couldn't find Team Rocket's base.

The Rainbow Foundation is unable to take action because of this. If only the League could provide some support and cooperate with the Rainbow Foundation, which possesses legendary Pokémon.

This incident has probably already ended and won't escalate further. The current champion has already been forced to relinquish his title due to the previous incident.

The Kanto region championship title is now vacant, but it's not the right time to hold the next league tournament.
