Chapter 350: Jinghe: The Sky is Falling!
Year-End Bonus?
The year-end bonuses and welfare packages hadn't been distributed by the Academy, but Team Rocket had already sent theirs?
It's no wonder they're known for their comprehensive welfare benefits.
"Why not just send it with a Messenger Bird?" Jinghe asked.
"The item is quite valuable, so it must be delivered personally to you, Teacher Jinghe," Zhen Niao replied with an unusually solemn tone.
This piqued Jinghe's curiosity even more, wondering what his year-end bonus might be.
It couldn't possibly be a Pokemon, could it?
"Alright, I'm currently in Snowpeak City," Jinghe started to say, but Zhen Niao interrupted him with a surprised tone.
"Teacher Jinghe, are you also in Snowpeak City?"
"What do you mean?" Jinghe asked, sensing something from Zhen Niao's tone.
"Are you guys also in Snowpeak City?" Jinghe countered.
"Yes," Zhen Niao replied matter-of-factly. "We're here because we need to film some scenes in the snow."
Are there such scenes?
Jinghe carefully recalled, and indeed, there were!
Then, he thought further.
Aside from the Sinnoh Region, the Hoenn Region rarely had snow due to the presence of Chimney Mountain. Even when it did snow, it was usually light and couldn't meet the requirements.
Kanto and Johto had snow, but their geographical locations...
Most of the areas were covered by Mt. Silver.
If Team Rocket went to Mt. Silver to film snow scenes, it would be a bit of a death wish.
Moreover, according to Jinghe's script, the filming location was inside a villa, and there weren't many villas on snow-capped mountains, so the best filming location was indeed Snowpeak City.
"Ahem, in that case, give me the address, and I'll come find you guys tomorrow."
It was best to minimize the number of people who saw him interacting with Team Rocket members.
Although Zhen Niao and the trio's identities might not have been exposed, there was no guarantee the trio wouldn't act up.
"Okay."
Zhen Niao then informed Jinghe of their current filming location.
Sinnoh, Crown Mountain, a place with a unique magnetic field.
A middle-aged man with light blue short hair, dressed in a black suit, with barely noticeable eyebrows, and a detached gaze, arrived at this spot.
He tossed a Poke Ball, summoning a Northward Nose and a Tri-Magnetic Beedrill.
Under the influence of Crown Mountain's unique magnetic field, the two Pokemon immediately emitted a dazzling and captivating evolution light.
The intense noise and stimulating magnetic field caused the surrounding wind and snow to become more chaotic, and even the snow on the mountain began to collapse.
Yet, the middle-aged man remained composed and unperturbed.
In his line of sight, the evolution light on the two Pokemon gradually subsided, and they evolved into a Great Northward Nose and a Self-Destructive Magnezone, respectively.
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man calmly instructed:
"Destroy it."
Buzz—
An extremely powerful electromagnetic wave burst forth from the Great Northward Nose and the Self-Destructive Magnezone.
Under their influence, the special magnetic field at this location was forcibly disrupted!
Rumble—
The change in the magnetic field caused the ground, mountains, and snow to emit a dull, rumbling sound.
Within the mountain.
It was as if some force was wildly accumulating and surging, affecting the surrounding environment.
After completing this task.
The man took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, it's me, J," a woman's voice answered on the other end.
If Jinghe were here, he would have recognized the man as Chire, the leader of Team Galactic!
He was currently assuming the identity of a well-known businessman in the Sinnoh Region.
And the person he was speaking to was the infamous Pokemon Hunter J.
She was also the leader of one of the largest Pokemon Hunter gangs in the entire Pokemon world!
Chire spoke indifferently:
"I've kept my promise to help you, and now it's your turn."
After a brief silence, Hunter J's voice echoed again.
"I understand. After I evade this damn League's encirclement, I'll help you catch the Pokemon you desire."
Just a couple of days ago, a group of Pokemon hunters captured by Jinghe had revealed one of Hunter J's secret bases to the Sinnoh League.
This led to Hunter J being relentlessly pursued by the Sinnoh League and the International Police.
Although they couldn't arrest the cunning Hunter J, it would undoubtedly cause her significant losses.
As a result.
Hunter J sought help from Chire, offering an exchange. She requested him to help attract and divert the attention of the Sinnoh League.
However, the current time wasn't right for Chire to step out from behind the scenes.
So, he employed a different method.
Team Galactic's search and investigation of Crown Mountain had never ceased, all for the sake of finding the legendary "Gun Pillar."
In the process, the chief scientist of Team Galactic, Pluto, discovered the unique magnetic field in this area.
After numerous tests, they found that forcibly disrupting the magnetic field here would inevitably affect Crown Mountain and, consequently, the surrounding natural environment. This could potentially lead to some catastrophic disasters.
Causing a disaster to attract the League's attention, making the Sinnoh League too busy to deal with Pokemon Hunter J's Pokemon Hunter Gang, was undoubtedly a good choice.
He hung up the phone.
Chire stood atop Crown Mountain, looking down at the Sinnoh Region with disdain in his eyes.
"Let's start by giving this imperfect world a little shock."
The next day.
The weather was clear.
But the snow and wind blowing from Crown Mountain seemed even heavier than the day before.
In the soft sunlight, the falling snow refracted a kaleidoscope of colors, making Snowpeak City appear even more crystalline, as if draped in a magnificent veil.
"Another beautiful day."
Jinghe stretched lazily, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
The window was already frosted over, but the room felt as warm as spring.
"You've worked hard, Tanshixia," Jinghe said with a smile.
"Guka~~"
Tanshixia smiled, revealing his teeth.
Suppressing the heat he constantly emitted was also a form of cultivation.
He took out the last small piece of charcoal, threw it into his mouth, and crunched loudly.
Jinghe's mouth twitched at the sight.
Damn.
One piece of charcoal had already been completely digested, and Tanshixia still had one more in reserve.
But it's estimated... it won't last long either. I need to prepare in advance."
Jinghe closed and opened his eyes, feeling like money was flowing away like a waterfall...
"I hope Team Rocket's year-end bonus can make up for it," Jinghe thought.
"Ao Wu~~"
Ice Nine-Tails stretched lazily on the bed, shaking its body slightly, and some ice crystals fell off.
It wasn't just Tanshixia.
Ice Nine-Tails was also gradually improving its control over the cold aura it unconsciously released.
"Henga~~"
Wrapped in a huge Spirit World Cloth like a bedsheet, Gramps lay on the ceiling, rolled over, and smacked his lips a couple of times, still not ready to get up.
It seemed that some wild and stray Pokemon in Snowpeak City had experienced a rather "nuclear" greeting the night before.
In Swift Dragon's puzzled gaze, after receiving a "combo attack" aimed at its belly, the refreshed Jinghe called out to the little guys.
Wake up, wash up, and eat breakfast.
Then, after greeting Sharon and the others, he left the hotel.
With the guidance of the Lotad Pokedex, he quickly arrived at the place where Zhentiao and the trio were located—a villa on the outskirts of Snowpeak City.
From a distance, Jinghe saw the trio hiding something in the snow with mischievous expressions.
However, his approach didn't catch the trio's attention.
"You guys..."
Hearing the voice, the trio turned around with a start.
Upon seeing that it was Jinghe, they exclaimed, "Teacher Jinghe!" (Д｀) x3
"Soh~Nansh! (＞Д) ヽ"
The trio rushed over in one swift step and hung onto Jinghe.
"Teacher Jinghe, can you give me a scene where I'm not just half-shot?"
Sweet Musashi Rina, the female lead, had only appeared in two scenes so far.
"Teacher Jinghe, that Pikachu is bullying me, meow!"
As for Meowth, both in the show and out, he was always "bullied" by Pikachu, a true-to-character performance.
As for Kojiro,
"Teacher Jinghe, Musashi and Meowth are bullying me!"
Kojiro, the director, strictly followed the script while filming. As a result,
Musashi often got "punched" because only half of her body was shown, and Meowth constantly complained about being "bullied" by Pikachu.
Looking at the three guys hanging on him, Jinghe's mouth twitched.
It must be difficult for Zhentiao to handle these three.
Jinghe reached out and patted Zhentiao's smooth head.
Indeed, Zhentiao was the most well-behaved.
"Soh, soh~Nansh! (//▽//)"
Jinghe coughed and looked at the object in the snow that wasn't fully buried yet.
"Did you build a Gundam?" he asked, his eyes twitching.
In the snow was a noticeable robot, not small in size.
"Gundam? What's a Gundam?" Musashi asked, rubbing his eye corner.
"That's Meowth's robot, meow~" Meowth added.
Very good.
The trio had evolved into Gundam-building experts.
If they were just filming, it would indeed be a waste of talent.
"Why are you building a robot?
"Jinghe asked again.
'I heard,' Xiao Jiro leaned in and whispered, 'that there's talk of an ancient giant awakening in Snowpeak City. We're building a robot for protection.'
Jinghe was taken aback.
'How did you guys find out about the ancient giant's awakening?'
'Gossip,' they replied in unison.
Oh no.
All three of you have confirmed it, so Regigigas's awakening is probably inevitable.
Jinghe tilted his head back in disbelief and took a deep breath.
This is crazy!
But then he reconsidered.
With the trio around, they could at least block three of Regigigas's punches, right?
And with the Fruit God, maybe they could withstand five or six punches? It's like having an extra layer of insurance.
Moreover..."
"I'll give you some materials later, and you can build one for me too, right?" Jinghe suggested with a hint of excitement.
If I give them a Lotad Motor, will I get a Lotad Gundam in return?
What man could resist the temptation to pilot a Gundam?
'No problem!' they chorused.
The trio looked at each other, honored to be of service to Teacher Jinghe.
After spending time with Zhen Niao, they understood that Jinghe held a unique position within Team Rocket.
At the very least, they had only seen two people in Team Rocket who could command Zhen Niao—Okada, the leader, and Teacher Jinghe.
This clearly placed Jinghe just below the leader and above everyone else.
Clinging to Teacher Jinghe's coattails was definitely the right move!
'You three, get to work. Hmm? Teacher Jinghe, you're here?'
Zhen Niao, dressed in a sleek business suit and a pencil skirt, had found the trio and spotted Jinghe as well.
'Watermelon Eyeglasses Sister!' she exclaimed.
Zhen Niao's forehead veins popped, and she gritted her teeth, managing to say, 'Get to work!'
The trio scrambled away.
Watching them flee, Zhen Niao couldn't help but rub her temples.
If it weren't for Okada and Teacher Jinghe's efforts to expand Team Rocket, she wouldn't want to work with these three.
'It's been a while, Zhen Niao. You've become even more beautiful,' Jinghe greeted her with a smile.
'Really?' Zhen Niao's eyes lit up, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
Wasn't this just small talk?
'Yes, really, really,' she assured him.
'Oh, and your year-end gift!' Zhen Niao suddenly remembered and led Jinghe to a temporary office within the villa.
Click!
Jinghe instinctively took a step back.
Why lock the door?
But Zhen Niao seemed not to notice his reaction and carefully retrieved a safe.
'Actually, the year-end gift doesn't need to be so formal. Even if it's a bonus, you can just transfer it to my card...'
Jinghe was still speaking when Zhen Niao cautiously opened the safe and took out a portable incubator.
Inside the incubator lay a Pokemon Egg, quietly resting.
'A Pokemon Egg?!'
Zhen Niao nodded solemnly, her expression turning serious. 'Teacher Jinghe, this Pokemon Egg was provided by Leader Okada, and I personally selected it.'
She took a breath, her expression becoming even more solemn. 'It's the offspring of Leader Okada's main Pokemon!'
Jinghe couldn't help but gasp.
'It can't be... Beedrill?'
'Huh? Does Teacher Jinghe know about Leader Okada's Beedrill?' Zhen Niao was taken aback.
Okada rarely summoned Beedrill in front of others.
'I've heard a little, just a little,' Jinghe replied.
Okada, the strongest Bug Catcher in the Pokemon world, had earned his reputation.
'But it's not Beedrill,' Zhen Niao explained. 'Leader Okada said that to cultivate Beedrill to that level, one would need resources, luck, and ability, and even he might not be able to replicate it.'
Jinghe rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
Even if it wasn't Beedrill, Okada's Pokemon were no pushovers.
Moreover, Okada's Pokemon, aside from Beedrill, were all Ground-type. And Ground-types were known for their powerful moves.
Tyranitar? Rampardos? Nidoking? Nidoqueen?
Furthermore, Jinghe sensed that Leader Okada wouldn't give an ordinary Pokemon.
Could it be a Legendary Pokemon? Bronzong? Groundon?
Why not just give a regular year-end bonus?
This year, you give a Pokemon Egg. What about next year? Will you give another one?
And then help me build a 'Ground Team'?
At that moment, Jinghe felt like the sky was falling.
