With a hint of nervousness, Kaede Sato came to the shabby shop and looked at the old man who was lying on a chair behind the counter.
The shabby shop is located on the edge of the southern suburbs of Nibi, which is the least prosperous area in the southern region. There are only a few shops in the vicinity.
But at present, except for the shop in front of Kaede Sato, the rest of the shops have a large note on the door with the words "Shop for Rent" written on it.
Kaede Sato was currently renting an apartment nearby. After living here for a year, he was meticulous enough to notice the situation of this small shop.
In fact, since Kaede Sato came here a year ago, the appearance of this place has remained the same. Of course, because this is originally the least prosperous area, it's natural that no one wants to take over these closed shops.
However, Zuo Tengfeng found that every time it was a certain day, there would be a group of people coming here one after another. Then, they would come to this shabby shop to buy things. Through the clothes of these people, it was not difficult for Zuo Tengfeng to see that most of these people were like him. They were very poor people.
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 is a contact point of the Kanto Underworld Organization Rocket. Those who come to this shabby shop are all here to be tested by Rocket. Today is a special day.
"Have you thought it through? You know, once you enter, it's difficult to come out again. " Noticing the arrival of Kaede Sato, the old man opened his turbid eyes slightly and looked at him, then said in a rather hoarse voice.
"Please tell me the address, sir. I have nothing, and I'm not afraid of losing anything." Faced with the old man's question, Kaede Sato answered in a very calm tone.
Kaede Sato was well aware of his current status. Since he was an unregistered citizen, he did not even have the means to become a trainer through the normal way. The Alliance would never accept an unregistered trainer, and they might even arrest him and send him to jail.
Therefore, if he wanted to become a trainer and get the 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 Rocket. It was not difficult to tell from the manga, games, and animations that the Rocket was the most powerful dark organization in every region, especially the Rocket in the Kanto region. Their strength and resources were incomparable to the dark organizations in other regions.
If Kaede Sato, a poor man, wanted to become a powerful trainer, joining Rocket was undoubtedly a very good choice.
In his impression, Sakaki was undoubtedly a very qualified leader. Whether it was his charisma or his tolerance, he was not comparable to the leaders of other dark organizations in other regions. He spared no effort in cultivating talents.
Hearing this, the old man's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and then he took out a device similar to a tablet computer from a hidden corner. After a few taps on it, a document suddenly appeared on the screen, and in the upper left corner of the document was Kaede Sato's profile picture.
"Hehehe, it seems that you have reached the point of no return. Take it, it's getting late, you have to hurry. See the marks on the tree opposite? Follow these marks, and you will reach the destination. " After glancing at the information on the screen, the old man suddenly smiled, then he took out a small item and threw it to Kaede Sato. After that, he closed his eyes again.
Kaede Sato took a look at the item the old man handed over and found that it was just an ordinary black stone, but it was crystal clear. After thinking for a while, he pointed the stone at a nearby street light.
With the help of the light, a blood-red letter "R" appeared in the black stone. Obviously, this stone was something like a token. Without it, even if he found the destination, nothing would happen.
Then, Kaede Sato followed the old man's finger and found the tree the old man was pointing at. He came to the tree, and after carefully searching around the tree, he finally found a small arrow mark in an inconspicuous place on the tree.
Then, Kaede Sato followed the direction of the small arrow and came to a big rock. There was also a very inconspicuous arrow on the big rock.
Along the way, Kaede Sato followed these linked indicators and finally came to a small house in the woods outside the city.
At this time, the sun was about to set in the west, and the moon was gradually showing in the sky. A burly man in a hunting suit was slowly closing the door of the small house in the woods.
However, as soon as Kaede Sato appeared, the burly man stopped closing the door and immediately turned his head to look at Kaede Sato who suddenly came out of the woods.
In the next second, "Caw caw caw ~" A group of crows cawed. Unknowingly, a group of Dark Crows had appeared in the woods around the small house in the woods, and like the burly man, they looked at Kaede Sato, the intruder, with a malicious expression.
Fortunately, Kaede Sato, who had lived two lives, was still mentally strong. In the face of the burly man's words and the malicious gaze of the Dark Crows, other than a trace of nervousness on his face, he did not panic. He immediately raised the black stone in his hand high.
Although the light was very dim, the burly man's eyesight seemed to be very good. When Kaede Sato raised the black stone in his hand, he had already noticed it. With a slight wave of his hand, the Dark Crows in the woods suddenly disappeared before Kaede Sato's eyes.
"Go in, lucky little guy. If you were late by more than ten seconds, even if you have the token, you would still be dead." The burly man said coldly to Kaede Sato and then opened the door again.
The door was opened, but it was pitch-black 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 in his expression. As soon as he entered, the burly man at the door immediately closed the door.
In the next second, Kaede Sato noticed that the wooden board under his feet had strangely disappeared, and he fell into the deep darkness.
During the fall, Kaede Sato quickly lost consciousness amidst some terrifying sound.
When Kaede Sato opened his eyes again, he was already in a large, brightly lit square. At this moment, he was lying on the floor of the square, and around him were people who were either standing or sitting.
When these people saw that he had woken up, they only glanced at him for a moment, then they became indifferent again. From time to time, they would shift their gaze to the podium in the square.
"So this is where Rocket accepts newcomers? They really don't leave any traces. Now, I don't even know the way back. I can only obediently accept Rocket's next order." Kaede Sato quickly realized where he was. When he thought of the scene when he entered the forest house, his face turned a little ugly.
Time passed quietly, and during this period of time, Zuo Tengfeng also counted the number of people in the square. There were exactly 100 people, but the area of the square was very large, and these 100 people were very sparsely distributed on it.
Kaede Sato also tried to make contact with the people here, but he found that the people here were very vigilant. They ignored his deliberate approach. After several fruitless attempts, he helplessly leaned against the wall and continued to wait quietly.
About an hour later, the members of the Rocket Squad finally arrived. All of a sudden, other than a ventilation vent, a door appeared on the walls of the large square that was almost completely sealed off.
Following that, a few Rocket Team members dressed in Rocket Team uniforms quickly walked out of the door. They rudely chased away the people at the periphery of the square before they arranged themselves in an orderly manner around the square, surrounding the rookies.
At the same time, sprites came out of the pokeballs in their hands and joined the encirclement of the newcomers.
After these Rocket members completed the encirclement, a man wearing Rocket's elite uniform slowly appeared on the square platform, sitting on a chair.
This was a middle-aged man with a well-proportioned body. There were several hideous scars on his face, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. His whole body exuded a gloomy aura, and his aura was extremely strong. At first glance, one could tell that he was a ruthless person.
When the people in the square saw him appear, under his gaze, whether it was the Rocket soldiers or the newcomers like Kaede Sato, they couldn't help but shiver. The atmosphere in the square suddenly became quiet, and no one dared to breathe.
"Very soon, welcome everyone. My name is Caesar, and I'm the instructor of you new recruits. Alright, I hope you can all listen to what I'm going to say next. I won't repeat myself twice. Quick, bring them all up." The middle-aged man named Caesar said loudly and energetically.
After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands slightly, and in the next second, a few Rocket members hurriedly pushed out a few large molds and placed them on the empty space in front of the podium. These molds were lined up neatly with a large number of red and white pokeballs.
"I won't say any more nonsense. You have all seen it, right? This is the first benefit that we Rocket will give you newcomers. Go, go and choose one. But remember, you cannot release the sprites inside, and once you choose, you cannot change it," Caesar said again after the molds containing the pokeballs were placed on the small cart.
After Caesar finished speaking, he continued to look at the newcomers' actions with a cold expression.
Under the gaze of Caesar and the surrounding Rocket members, the newcomers were somewhat hesitant, but each of them had a look of excitement on their faces.
After the few people closest to the front gathered their courage and safely received the pokeballs, the rest of the newcomers went crazy. They immediately rushed forward to fight for the pokeballs, hoping to obtain the outstanding starter sprite by taking the initiative.
Kaede Sato, who was at the back of the group of newcomers, was also a little tempted, but when he saw that the people in front of him were completely surrounded, and there was even a stampede, he stood still and patiently waited for the others to finish choosing.
When the few Rocket members brought up the small cart containing the pokeballs, Kaede Sato had already noticed that the number of pokeballs neatly arranged on each mold was no less than 60.
Currently, there were a total of five molds placed in front of the podium in the square. Based on the fact that everyone could only choose one pokeball and could not release the sprites inside, there was no need to rush to choose.
After a few minutes, almost all the newcomers had finished choosing the sprites they liked. At this moment, Kaede Sato and a few other newcomers who were patiently waiting for the others to finish choosing slowly walked forward to choose their starter sprites.
Kaede Sato walked forward to take a look and could not help but reveal a wry smile. In fact, Rocket only allowed the newcomers to choose six types of sprites, and four of them were common sprites in the sprite habitat near Nibi City.
The six types of sprites were: Little Lada, Fierce Sparrow, Small Fist Rock, Ultrasonic Bat, Gas Bomb, and Abe Snake.
In terms of combat strength, Abe Snake was undoubtedly the strongest among the six types of sprites, followed by Gas Bomb and Fierce Sparrow.
And from the current situation of the pokeballs being taken away, most people chose Abe Snake and Gas Bomb, followed by Fierce Sparrow and Small Fist Rock. As for Little Lada and Ultrasonic Bat, very few chose them.
