With a hint of nervousness, Kaede Sato came to the shabby shop and looked at the old man lying on a chair behind the counter.
The shabby shop was located on the edge of the southern suburbs of Nibi City. It was the least prosperous area in the southern region, and there were only a few shops nearby.
But at present, except for the shop in front of Kaede Sato, the rest of the shops had a large note on the door with the words "Shop for Rent" written on it.
The apartment that Kaede Sato currently rented was nearby. After living here for a year, the meticulous Kaede Sato noticed the situation of this small shop.
In fact, since Kaede Sato came here a year ago, this place had maintained its current appearance.
Of course, because this was originally the least prosperous area, it was natural that no one was willing to come and take over these closed shops.
However, Kaede Sato found that on a specific day, a group of people would come to this shabby shop one after another and then specifically come to this shabby shop to buy things. Through the clothes on these people, it was not difficult for Kaede Sato to see that most of these people were very poor people like him.
Finally, under Kaede Sato's deliberate contact, the true face of this shabby shop was also revealed in front of him.
In fact, this shabby shop was a contact point of the Kanto underground organization, the Rocket. Those who came to this shabby shop were here to take the rookie test of the Rocket, and today was a specific day.
"Have you thought it through? You should know that once you enter, it will be difficult to come out again. " Sensing the arrival of Kaede Sato, the old man slightly opened his somewhat turbid eyes and looked at him. He then spoke in a rather hoarse voice.
"Please tell me the address, old man. I have nothing left, and I am not afraid of losing anything else," Kaede Sato replied in a very calm tone.
Kaede Sato was well aware of his current status. Because he was an unregistered citizen, he did not even have the means to become a trainer through normal means. The Alliance would never accept an unregistered trainer. They might even arrest him and send him to prison.
Therefore, if he wanted to become a trainer and obtain resources to go further on the path of a trainer, he had to carefully choose some powerful illegal organizations.
At present, Kaede Sato's best choice was undoubtedly the Kanto's Rocket Squad. From the manga, games, and anime, it was not difficult to see that the Rocket Squad was definitely the most powerful underground organization in each region, especially the Kanto region's Rocket Squad. Its strength and resources were incomparable to the underground organizations in other regions.
If a poor person like Kaede Sato wanted to become a strong trainer, joining the Rockets would be a good choice.
In his impression, Sakaki was undoubtedly a very qualified leader. Whether it was his charisma or tolerance, the leaders of the underground organizations in other regions could not compare to him. He spared no effort in cultivating talents.
When the old man heard this, his half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and then he took out an instrument that looked like a tablet computer from a hidden corner.
After he clicked a few points on it, a piece of information suddenly appeared on the screen, and in the upper left corner of this information was Kaede Sato's profile picture.
"Hehehe … It seems that you have reached the point where you have nowhere to go. Take it, it's getting late. You have to hurry. Do you see the mark on the tree opposite? Follow these marks, and you will reach the end. " After glancing at the information on the screen, the old man suddenly smiled, then took out a small thing from his body and threw it to Kaede Sato. After that, he closed his eyes again.
Kaede Sato took the thing that the old man handed over and looked at it. It was just an ordinary black stone, but it was crystal clear. After thinking for a while, he pointed the stone at the nearby street lights.
Under the illumination of the light, a blood-red letter 'R' appeared on the black stone. Obviously, this stone was something like a keepsake. Without it, even if they found their destination, nothing would happen.
After that, Kaede Sato followed the direction of the old man's finger and found the tree that the old man was pointing at. He came to the tree and carefully searched around the tree. Finally, he found a small arrow mark in an inconspicuous place on the tree.
Then, Kaede Sato followed the direction indicated by the small arrow and came to a big stone. This big stone also had a very inconspicuous arrow mark on it.
Along the way, Kaede Sato followed these links and finally came to a small forest house in the small forest outside the city.
At this time, the sun was about to set in the west, and the moon in the sky was gradually revealed. A burly man in a hunting suit was also slowly closing the door of the forest house.
However, as soon as Kaede Sato appeared, the burly man stopped closing the door. He immediately turned his head and looked at Kaede Sato who suddenly walked out of the forest.
In the next second, "Ya ya ya ~" a crow's cry sounded.
Unknowingly, a group of dark crows had appeared in the small forest around the forest house, and just like the burly man, they looked at Kaede Sato, the intruder with a malicious face.
Fortunately, Kaede Sato, who had lived two lives, still had psychological quality. In the face of this burly man and the dark crows' malicious gaze, he did not panic except for a trace of nervousness on his face. He immediately raised the black stone in his hand high.
Although the light was very dim, the burly man's vision seemed to be very good. When Kaede Sato raised the black stone in his hand, he had already noticed it. After the big hand slightly waved, the dark crows in the small forest suddenly disappeared in front of Kaede Sato's eyes.
"Go in, lucky little guy. If you were ten seconds late, even if you have the token, you would still die." The burly man said coldly to Kaede Sato, then he opened the door again.
The door was opened, but it was dark inside, like a black hole that swallowed everything. After Kaede Sato handed the token to the burly man at the door, he walked into the dark forest house without a change of expression. As soon as he entered, the burly man at the door immediately closed the door.
In the next second, Kaede Sato found that the wooden board under his feet disappeared strangely, and his whole person fell into deep darkness.
And in the process of falling, Kaede Sato also quickly lost consciousness in some kind of horrible sound.
When Kaede Sato opened his eyes again, he had already come to a big bright square. At this time, he was lying on the floor of the square, and around him were people standing or sitting.
When these people saw that he woke up, they only glanced at him for a little bit, then they became indifferent again. From time to time, their eyes would turn to the podium in the big square.
"This is the place where the Rocket Team accepts new people. They really don't leave any traces behind. Now, I don't even know the way back. I can only obediently accept the Rocket Team's next move."
Kaede Sato quickly realized where he was. When he thought of the scene after entering the forest house, his face was a little ugly.
Time passed quietly, and during this time, Kaede Sato also counted the number of people in the square. There were exactly 100 people, but the square area was very large, and the 100 people seemed very sparsely distributed.
Kaede Sato also tried to make contact with others, but he found that the people here were very vigilant. They ignored his deliberate approach. After trying a few times to no avail, he helplessly leaned against the wall and continued to wait quietly.
About an hour later, the people from the Rocket Team finally arrived. Suddenly, a door appeared on the four walls of the almost completely sealed plaza, except for one vent.
Then, some members of the Rocket Team wearing the Rocket Team's uniform quickly walked out of the door. They violently drove away the people at the edge of the square, and then arranged themselves around the square in a very orderly manner, surrounding the newcomers.
At the same time, Wisps came out of the Pokeballs in their hands and joined in the encirclement of the newcomers.
After these members of the Rocket Team completed the encirclement, a person wearing the Rocket Team's elite uniform sat on a chair and slowly appeared on the square stage.
This was a well-built middle-aged man with several hideous scars on his face. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and his entire body exuded a cold and gloomy aura. His aura was extremely strong, and people could tell at a glance that he was a ruthless person.
After the people in the big square saw him appear, under his gaze, whether it was the Rocket Team's soldiers or the newcomers like Kaede Sato, they could not help but shiver. The atmosphere in the big square suddenly became quiet, and the people did not even dare to breathe.
My name is Caesar, and I am the instructor of you new recruits. Alright, I hope you can listen to what I'm going to say next. I will definitely not say it a second time. Quick, bring it all up here. "
The middle-aged man named Caesar said loudly with great vigor.
After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands slightly. In the next second, a few members of the Rocket Team hurriedly pushed out a few large molds and placed them on the empty space in front of the podium. These molds were neatly arranged with a large number of red and white Pokeballs.
"I'll get straight to the point. As you can see, this is the first benefit that our Rocket Team gives you newcomers. Go, choose one, but remember, don't release the Little Elf inside. Once you've chosen, you can't change it." "I'll get straight to the point.
After the molds with the Pokeballs were placed on the small cart, Caesar spoke again.
After Caesar finished speaking, he continued to look at the actions of the rookies with a cold expression.
Under the gaze of Caesar and the surrounding members of the Rocket Team, the rookies were somewhat hesitant, but their faces all revealed looks of excitement.
After the few people at the front boldly went forward to receive the Pokeballs safely, the rest immediately went crazy. They immediately rushed forward to fight for the Pokeballs, hoping to obtain an outstanding Starter Wisp by taking the initiative.
Kaede Sato, who was at the back of the rookies, was also somewhat tempted. However, when he saw that the people in front were completely surrounded and that there was even a stampede, he tactfully stood on the spot and waited patiently for the others to finish choosing.
When the members of the Rocket Team brought the small carts with the Pokeballs, Kaede Sato discovered that there were no less than 60 Pokeballs neatly placed on each mold.
There were currently a total of five molds placed in front of the podium. According to the conditions that each person could only choose one Pokeball and could not release the Wisp inside, there was no need to be in such a hurry to choose.
After a few minutes, almost all the rookies had finished choosing their favorite Wisp. At this time, Kaede Sato and a few other rookies who were patiently waiting for the others to finish choosing slowly walked forward to choose their Starter Wisp.
Kaede Sato walked forward to take a look and could not help but reveal a wry smile. In fact, the Rocket Team had only chosen six types of Wisps for the rookies, and four of them were Wisps that were commonly seen in the Wisp Habitat near Nibi City.
The six types of Wisps were: Little Lada, Blazing Sparrow, Tiny Fist Rock, Supersonic Bat, Gas Bomb, and Abel Snake.
In terms of combat power, the Abel Snake was undoubtedly the strongest among the six types of Wisps, followed by Gas Bomb and Blazing Sparrow.
Judging from the current situation where the Poké Balls were taken, most of the people chose Abel Snake and Gas Bomb, followed by Blazing Sparrow and Small Fist Rock. There were only a few who chose Little Lada and Supersonic Bat.
