The Chapter get Retranslated

After Qingwu quickly sent Koihime away, he finally arrived at the exchange center.

The exchange center was already packed with people, everyone wanting to exchange for some resources before leaving the trial base.

Qingwu looked at the surging crowd at the exchange center, feeling a hint of annoyance. How long would this take to exchange?

He still had to go to the Hoenn Region in a few days. There was no Team Rocket branch base there, and the Hoenn Region was far away from Team Rocket.

Even if he exchanged for resources, it would take at least ten days to half a month to reach Qingwu.

Qingwu touched a shiny silver badge, and a thought instantly flashed through his mind. He found a secluded spot and pulled out his laptop.

Qingwu directly located his Team Rocket number from the indentation on the silver badge.

The Team Rocket number served as his account and password for the Team Rocket internal network.

After Qingwu logged into the Team Rocket system, he could modify the password. After changing it, Qingwu entered the TM exchange area.

Qingwu currently had 130,000 Team Rocket points. The points from selling Fire Stones had been used to exchange for Pokémon breeding materials, leaving him with 120,000 points. Adding the 10,000 points he received for being the first-place trialist, Qingwu had enough points for now.

After entering the TM area, Qingwu first searched for the famous Triple Fists, but as expected, there was no stock.

Then, Qingwu successively entered Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, and Ice Beam. Their stock was also 0.

However, Qingwu unexpectedly discovered the skill Swords Dance, which cost a hefty 50,000 Team Rocket points. Qingwu bought it without hesitation.

Next, Qingwu immediately bought Roost and Life Dew, spending a total of 70,000 Team Rocket points.

"TMs are truly a high-profit industry. I only bought these three TMs, and I'm left with only 10,000 points." Although Qingwu grumbled, he acted extremely quickly. Seeing good items, he promptly placed orders to buy them. In the blink of an eye, not even 10,000 points were left.

Items purchased would be available for pickup at the exchange center in three days.

"It's a good thing these Team Rocket grunts don't have strong purchasing power, otherwise these good items wouldn't be available to me." Don't be fooled by the bustling crowd of Team Rocket grunts at the exchange center.

They didn't have many Team Rocket points, and the items they could exchange for were limited.

Qingwu now had to thoroughly plan which Pokémon he would use in Team Rocket and which he would use in the Pokémon League.

Qingwu currently had Golbat, Aron, Squirtle, Torchic (egg), Mudkip (egg), and Deino.

These were all Pokémon with Green Aptitude or higher.

Qingwu had also captured two Arboks, a Primeape, a Magcargo, two Sharpedo, and 12 evolved Pokémon contributed by Lan Ling's team.

These Pokémon would be exchanged for Team Rocket points. Primeape had been captured by Qingwu early on, but he had forgotten about it in a corner and only found it when organizing his backpack and bracelet.

For his public identity, Qingwu planned to use Aron, Squirtle, Torchic (egg), Mudkip (egg), and Snivy, to disguise himself as a rookie trainer.

After all, most of these Pokémon, except Snivy, could be found in the Hoenn Region.

Moreover, Snivy was a Pokémon that Giovanni had entrusted to Sō to give to Qingwu. Besides Giovanni, Sō, Kyū, Raimei, and Ailena, no one knew that he had a Snivy. As a Starter Pokémon of the League, Snivy still held some prestige.

Qingwu's Team Rocket identity would consist of Golbat, Deino, Magmar, and Three-Colored Fish for now. As for the Larvitar he might obtain from Mt. Silver later, Qingwu planned to master this rare Quasi-legendary Pokémon under his Team Rocket identity.

After all, Larvitar could only be found on Mt. Silver and was regulated by the League.

If Qingwu suddenly possessed a Larvitar, he would undoubtedly be investigated by the League, and such an investigation could easily expose his disguise.

Qingwu also remembered that he came to the Kanto Region because his Day Care's business was not doing well, and he came to the Kanto Region to introduce Kanto Region's special Pokémon for sale in the Hoenn Region.

However, shortly after arriving in Vermilion City in the Kanto Region, he encountered unfortunate circumstances and was teleported to the Team Rocket trial base.

Oh right, Qingwu remembered that three months after his disappearance, the Pokémon Egg laid by his distraught Gardevoir and Gallade couple, whom he was desperately searching for, was also stolen.

This ultimately led to Gardevoir crying every day, becoming Qingwu's greatest regret.

Since Qingwu's rebirth and the system's return, he had recorded all the regrets and major events from his previous life in the system to prevent forgetting them. This was Qingwu's capital for his rise.

Qingwu remembered that the most recent important event happened in the Saffron City Black Market.

In Saffron City, someone obtained a Life Orb in its prime. After this news leaked, it attracted assassinations from all underground organizations. The Life Orb changed hands several times and its whereabouts eventually became unknown.

A Life Orb paired with a Nidoqueen that had the Sheer Force ability would result in incredibly powerful physical attacks.

The Nidoran family was originally known for its wide range of learnable skills. Although Nidoqueen's physical attack was only 85, it would be boosted by the Life Orb's 1.3x increase.

The Sheer Force ability could also negate the Life Orb's drawback, which was a very satisfying combination.

As for having a Life Orb but no Nidoqueen, Qingwu confidently believed that things would sort themselves out.

After all, Poison-type Pokémon were the main Pokémon nurtured by Team Rocket.

Qingwu placed Mudkip's Pokémon Egg in the Pokémon Egg Incubator, slowly injected nutrient solution, and then added Mystic Water before closing the incubator's lid.

It was a pity he hadn't found a Water Stone of excellent aptitude, otherwise the hatched Mudkip might have been even stronger. Qingwu knew this was just wishful thinking.

After all, Blue Aptitude Pokémon were too rare; it was possible that only one Blue Aptitude Pokémon would appear among millions of Pokémon, and Blue Aptitude Pokémon mostly appeared between Quasi-legendary Pokémon and Legendary Pokémon.

Only Legendary Pokémon could possibly have Purple Aptitude. However, Qingwu's research had only developed a hypothesis on how to raise aptitude to blue.

To truly succeed, he would still need Team Rocket's internal database and the League's database, with their massive data volumes as a foundation, for Qingwu to obtain the final calculation results and determine the optimal formula.

Qingwu took out the identity card made by Team Rocket. The identity information within came from trainers who had died due to various accidents. However, Qingwu knew that this was a bug intentionally left by the League.

The purpose was to find spies infiltrating the League. After all, joining the League required a qualification review, ensuring that one's ancestors for three generations were all upstanding commoners before being allowed to serve the League.

Therefore, Giovanni didn't consider why the League was so successful in rooting out all of Team Rocket's hidden agents this time.

Qingwu knew that Giovanni's entire focus was now on Mewtwo's breeding.

This was a tragic story, and the final outcome was that Giovanni, after Mewtwo flew away, embarked on a path of chasing Mewtwo, neglecting his proper duties.
