The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. In the vast sea, there was a small island with dense trees.
A sallow and skinny young man sat on the beach, his eyes sunk deep into the bird's nest. He looked like a typical malnourished person. He was wearing tattered clothes, but one could still vaguely tell that the young man was about fifteen years old.
The young man looked at a creature beside him with a complicated expression. It was about half the height of a child. Its entire body was wrapped in pitch-black feathers without a trace of color. If it wasn't for the bright moon, one could hardly see its full appearance.
His slightly trembling hand slowly touched the creature in front of him. The moment before contact, he unconsciously paused for a moment. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he touched it.
He retracted his complicated gaze and exhaled softly.
"I didn't expect that I would still come back," Aoki said indifferently.
Everything seemed to be vivid in his mind.
As a powerful trainer with the strength of a Quasi-heavenly King, Aoki vaguely remembered that after he was captured by the Rocket Team for a trial, he had survived the trial with great difficulty. With his abilities and special abilities in his previous life, he had made a name for himself in the Rocket Team and had gained a certain reputation in the underground world.
However, during one of the Alliance's encirclement and suppression, he was set up by a competitor of the Rocket Team. Because of his overconfidence after advancing to the Quasi-Heavenly King Stage, he thought that he would be able to survive the encirclement and suppression. In the end, he did not expect that the Alliance would actually send out two Heavenly King Stage experts for him. The two furious people worked together to bury him under the ground.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already at the scene in front of him.
Aoki stretched out his hands with great effort. All the scars from his injuries and training had disappeared. His hands were yellow from malnutrition, and he could clearly see the traces of blood vessels and bones.
He clenched his hands with all his might, and his nails slowly dug into his palms.
"Caw …" The Dark Crow cried out softly, looking curiously at the person in front of it who seemed to have suddenly changed.
Aoki heard the Dark Crow's cry and tried his best to pull the corners of his mouth. The muscles on his face that had not smiled for a long time seemed to have forgotten how to smile.
He touched the Dark Crow's back again. It was not very smooth. It was obvious that it was malnourished like him.
"Dark Crow, it's great to have you here!" Aoki said with a complicated expression.
In his previous life, because of his previous life, his way of doing things was very rigid. Even if he changed later on, it was too late. However, the Dark Crow, as his initial Pokémon, had always been by his side. It was also his closest bodyguard and friend. Even at the last moment in his previous life, she had protected him by his side and had never given up on him.
As for the "powerful" companions that he had forcibly captured, bought, and robbed, they had left him. It was the only one who had never left him. It was also the only existence that he regretted the most.
"Caw!" The Dark Crow called out. Although it didn't know why, it could clearly feel the closeness between the person in front of it and it.
This was clearly the first time they had met, and they didn't know why, but Dark Crow couldn't help but want to get closer to him. Therefore, after Aoki let it out, it didn't attack or escape. It only looked at the person in front of it curiously.
Aoki was also stunned. One must know that when he first saw the Dark Crow in his previous life, he had spent a lot of effort to subdue it. He had also spent a lot of effort to completely grasp and understand this creature that he had come into contact with for the first time.
Even now, Aoki felt that it was a pity that he had wasted time.
As someone who was familiar with Pokemon, he had only watched a few cartoons and understood the unclear relationship between a Pokemon named Yoshi and a magical Pikachu. He didn't even know all the species of Pokémon, let alone their characteristics, skills, and cultivation.
In this world, there was a saying that the upper limit of a Pokémon's growth depended on the Pokémon's talent, and the lower limit of a Pokémon's growth depended on the trainer's cultivation.
In the past, Aoki didn't know how much time he had wasted to completely understand all the characteristics of the Dark Crow Pokémon. After that, he had completely cultivated it, but at that time, it was already too late. A part of the Dark Crow's talent had been completely wasted.
As for the reason why he had been able to stand out in the trial in his previous life, it was entirely because of the Dark Crow's own talent. The detours that he had taken were unknown.
Because he had used up too much of the Dark Crow's potential, he had gradually forgotten everything after that.
"Dark Crow, in this life, I will never give up on you again." The hands that were touching the Dark Crow trembled slightly.
"Caw!" As if it had felt Aoki's complicated feelings, the Dark Crow called out in a timely manner.
Aoki smiled slightly. Finally, this body slowly adapted to the smile.
But then, his heart tightened slightly. Based on the current situation, he should have just been caught on this uninhabited island and was forced to distribute all the Pokémon. It was all thanks to the Dark Crow that he was able to pass this trial.
It should be known that among all the people that the Rocket Team had distributed to the trial, most of the Pokémon were Supersonic Bats, Gas Bombs, and Aber Serpents. As for the Dark Crow, it should be the only one that Aoki knew of.
After distributing the Pokémon, the first stage that everyone had to go through was to tame the Pokémon in the Pokeball. This was not an anime. This was a real world, and all the Pokémon in the Rocket Team had not been tamed. The wild Pokémon would often injure the trainers the moment they were released, or even kill them, and then escape.
In Aoki's impression, all the people in the trial should be 300 boys and girls between the ages of 15 and 18. And in the first stage, after taming the Pokémon, there should only be 150 to 160 people left.
It could be seen how cruel it was. Just the first stage eliminated nearly half of the people. And the result of elimination was death.
After the end of the trial, there were only fifty people who survived. These fifty people would be absorbed into the various squads and branches of the Rocket Team, becoming a dispensable part of it. Only those in the top ten could choose which branch they wanted to go to, and only the top three could report to their respective branch as squad leaders after the competition ended.
After that, the first place of this trial would be able to obtain a precious little elf from the Yu Family. That's right, Yu San Family's little elves were very precious here. Other than the direct members of the Alliance who paid their dues on time, it was almost impossible to obtain them in the wild. As for the Yu Sanjia Little Fairy that was rewarded by the Rocket Team, it was also a Little Fairy with excellent talent.
He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, he had chosen a Wonderful Frog Seed. It was precisely because of this outstanding Wonderful Frog Seed that he had successfully become the person in charge of the Rocket Team. His strength had even reached the peak of the Quasi-Heavenly King Stage, and he was only a step away from the Heavenly King Stage. As the focus of the Rocket Team's training, it could be said that he had limitless prospects. It was said that he was trained as the next generation's Four Generals.
In his previous life, although Aoki's performance was not bad, the gap between him and the first place was still very big. And in the later stages, he was the direct subordinate of the other party, so he knew more about his development.
Patting the dust off his body, Aoki slowly stood up. His body that was moving froze on the spot. Suddenly, he thought that if it was the same as before, then that thing should already exist.
He silently said, "System start!"
"Beep … Chip is starting …"
After ten seconds, just when Aoki was about to give up, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind, as if it was an emotionless robot.
"Sure enough …"
