I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

She had been looking forward to this repetition for so long, but she was always busy with work. Apart from the conversation that night, she and Aisha didn't even have a chance to be alone.

"Then, I'm leaving."

Aisha gave Zhulan and Cattleya a gentle smile.

Then, under the gaze of the two, he turned and walked into the boarding gate, gradually disappearing into the crowd.

"Hey."

Zhulan sighed, her expression looking a little unhappy.

However, she still smiled and looked at Cattleya.

Just at this moment, Cattleya also looked at her.

"Come on, it's time for us to go."

"Well, let's go."

......

Vermilion City, Vermilion Gym.

"Ah, headache."

Inside the office of the Withered Leaf Gym, Ma Zhishi lay on his desk with a troubled look on his face, his tough, resolute face full of distress.

"I'm so annoyed, what should I do... Tsk!"

Ma Zhishi propped himself up and looked at the ceiling with a look of despair.

"Boss, should we post a recruitment notice?" Ma Zhishi's younger brother next to him made a suggestion.

"You think I haven't thought about it?"

Ma Zhishi glanced at him.

Then, he sighed.

"Young people nowadays simply don't want to be sailors. Those guys can't stand hardship."

"At this time of year, even if we recruit now, we won't be able to find any experienced seafarers. We'll have to spend a lot of time and effort teaching those half-baked seafarers and those who know nothing about this business." Ma Zhishi shook his head, a painful expression on his face, like a mask of pain. He said, "If we teach them well and they're willing to work with us, that's good. If they run away after we've taught them well or halfway through, it will be another huge waste of money."

"Hey."

After hearing what Ma Zhishi said, I also sighed.

Their Withered Leaf Gym is now facing a major crisis, which is the financial deficit.

Originally, the sideline business of the Withered Leaf Gym was sea sailing.

However, the financial crisis of a dojo cannot be solved by relying solely on the efforts of the dojo master, Ma Zhishi.

Ma Zhishi naturally thought of hiring and training more sailors and teams to go out to sea on a large scale, so as to earn money to ease the finances of the dojo.

But......

At this time of year, all the young people are rushing to become trainers, and the old people have big ships that have followed them for many years and will not change jobs at all.

Ma Zhishi fell into an embarrassing situation.

Now that he has left the Rockets, he no longer has the ability to command the support of everyone.

The team members and loyal followers he had accumulated in his early years now have their own new lives, and Ma Zhishi feels embarrassed to ask them to work for him for free.

At this glance......

Nazhi's super power training class always has a steady stream of students, so she doesn't have to worry about not making money.

Aju even became one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Johto region, and followed Du to eat high-end public meals all day long.

Among the three leaders of the Rockets team, only Ma Zhishi failed to make a name for himself.

This is really comparing people to each other, which is really annoying.

"Hey."

Ma Zhishi lifted his legs, leaned back on the chair, and cleared his mind.

put!

"Ding--!!"

At this time, his cell phone rang.

Ma Zhishi put down his foot with a confused look on his face and picked up his cell phone.

After seeing the name on the phone clearly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

This call was actually from someone with the note "Sakaki (former boss)".

"Uh......"

Ma Zhishi was stunned for two seconds and gave his younger brother a look.

The younger brother also understood what he meant and walked out of his office.

Only then did Ma Zhishi answer the phone.

"Hey, hey...what's going on?"

"Ma Zhishi."

Sakaki's cold voice came out, and Ma Zhishi broke out in a cold sweat.

Even after so long, he still has a genuine awe for Sakaki.

"How have you been doing during this time?"

"what?"

Hearing Sakaki's greeting, Ma Zhishi was stunned for a moment.

Is Sakaki the kind of person who would ask such a question?

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay..." Ma Zhishi answered Sakaki's question with a wry smile.

Sakaki over there seemed to sigh helplessly.

"I'd like to introduce you to some business, would you like it?"

"what?"

Ma Zhishi was stunned.

Then, a serious expression appeared on his face in front of the phone, and his tone became much tougher.

"Boss, I still call you Boss."

"Ah."

Sakaki's voice was still as calm as ever, as if he was waiting for Ma Zhishi to speak.

Ma Zhishi took a deep breath, and thousands of words came to his throat.

However, it seemed that he took into account the friendship between former colleagues and the unchanging awe he had for Sakaki in his heart.

Finally, he simply said, "I won't do anything illegal. I've already left the Rockets, and of course I won't be eating the food they give me."

"What if it's not Team Rocket?"

"What?" Ma Zhishi was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean not Team Rocket?" He frowned, not knowing what Sakaki meant.

"literal meaning."

Sakaki's voice was too bland.

He briefly recounted his decision from some time ago, saying, "I have disbanded the Rocket Team, which was filled with sin and evil."

"Disband?"

Ma Zhishi was completely stunned.

"Well, disband."

"Today's Team Rocket is the Rainbow Rocket, born from the heart. The Rainbow Rocket has abandoned all the underworld businesses that the former Team Rocket members engaged in, such as poaching and robbery. Now, the Rainbow Rocket has shifted its focus to the legitimate business. You don't need to worry about getting your hands dirty by eating the Rainbow Rocket's food."

Sakaki stated his request calmly, saying, "You don't have to hide it. I know your Vermilion Gym has been in financial trouble lately. As luck would have it, you're the biggest source of Vermilion City's overseas operations. Team Rainbow Rocket can provide you with enough manpower. They're all experienced trainers and technicians, perfect for your job."

"this......"

Ma Zhishi was stunned by this good news that came out of nowhere.

He was stunned for a long time, then said, "Do you really only do white-collar business?"

"Well, I don't want to repeat this too many times."

"Boss, what's wrong with you?" Ma Zhishi asked worriedly, "We need to see a doctor if you're sick."

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Sakaki's blood pressure skyrocketed.

A moment later, Ma Zhishi, with a nervous look on his face, heard a helpless sigh from the other end of the phone.

There was a rustling sound, as if Sakaki was rubbing his eyebrows.

He spoke again and said, "Aixia convinced me."

"Coach Ai?"

Ma Zhishi was shocked.

The image of the beautiful boy who had broken through the high-voltage power grid of his own gym without any injuries on his body appeared in his mind.

How did they get together?

Oh no, the clown is actually me.

"Ah."

"Could it be because of Silver?"

Ma Zhishi is not stupid, he is just too lazy to use his brain.

In fact, as a former member of Team Rocket and a former pilot of Unova, how could his brain not be working well?

After just a little thought, Ma Zhishi figured out the reason why Sakaki suddenly changed his personality.

“…Heh~”

Hearing Ma Zhishi mention his son's name, Sakaki sneered and said, "Ma Zhishi, being too smart is not a good thing."

"Hey~"

After talking about this point, Ma Zhishi finally relaxed.

His tone returned to his humorous, robust demeanor, and he said, "We're talking business now, how can we not be smart?"
