Pokémon that goes with the flow

Under the clear blue sky and the endless ocean, the huge white cruise ship slowly left the port with its whistle blowing and headed towards the other shore.

Although this ship is not as luxurious as the previous St. Annuo, its warm layout and affordable price also satisfy Hoshino, Xiaozhi and others. If you want to say that the only flaw is... They haven't boarded the ship yet...

"Isn't that the ship we are going to take..." Looking at the ship going away, Hoshino sighed with some habit. After all, traveling with Xiaozhi and the others, this kind of accident is considered a minor problem. Already......

As for the main culprit of this problem, Xiaozhi and his party were sitting on the edge of the pier with sad faces. Originally, everyone planned to take the first ship back to the mainland this morning, but it turned out that they either overslept or dressed up, and finally rushed to the dock in a panic, but they still failed to catch up.

"Sorry, Xiaoxing, it's all our fault that we were too late and didn't catch up..."

"Pika pika..."

Xiaozhi and others apologized to Hoshino who was standing aside. After all, Hoshino got up very early and got ready, but in the end, all the ample time was wasted by them.

"Ah, it's okay. Anyway, the next ferry will only wait for another three hours, so it won't be long." Hoshino waved his hand indifferently, and then looked at the timetable on the notice board, "Anyway, I'll go and get the tickets now. Just cancel and buy a ticket for the next boat.”

After taking away the tickets for Xiaozhi and others, Hoshino was responsible for refunding the tickets, purchasing new tickets, and replenishing new supplies. After agreeing on a meeting place with Xiaozhi and his party, Hoshino said goodbye and left.

"Hmm... As expected, it's best to buy compressed biscuits. They are quite practical after all."

"I think so too~."

After looking at the sales shelves for a long time, Hoshino finally decided on the most classic choice. Even the young man standing aside quite agreed with Hoshino's choice...

Ok?

Xingye was startled and turned his head sharply. When did this person stand here? Even Scorpio was very surprised, it didn't notice at all.

Facing the vigilant people, this mysterious young man just pushed up his glasses calmly, and then said that he was the manager of this store. In order to give back to new and old customers, Hoshino was specially invited to the conference room to receive the prize.

Seeing this familiar technique, Hoshino probably guessed the identity of the visitor. Of course, the most important thing is that he looks exactly like the previous Rockets store owner~!

"Oh~, have you actually been recognized?" The young man who was already sitting in the conference room took off his glasses and still looked at Hoshino with a smile, "You are indeed an elite team member who is good at cross-dressing, Xiaoxing, you can see this little trick Ugly."

"Compared with this, can't you change the way you call me here? You use winning the lottery as an excuse every time, so you are not afraid of being discovered?" Hoshino, who was sitting opposite the young man, complained ruthlessly. His intuition told Hoshino that the person in front of him was quite dangerous. .

After all, Hoshino still prefers to face serious people like Guinness and Boss Sakaki than people who always have a smile on their face. Of course, it would be best if you don't have to face them.

"Hmm~, I will consider your suggestion carefully. But the old method is always better. After all, no one will investigate. What if something is really found?" The young man waved his hand helplessly in response to Hoshino's complaint. , "Let me introduce myself. I work in the finance department of the Rockets. Just call me Xiaoji."

"Anyway, first of all, congratulations to Team Xiaoxing for successfully being promoted to an elite team member." Xiaoji placed a folder in front of Hoshino and motioned Hoshino to open it, "Due to Team Xiaoxing's performance on the St. Anno last time, It's quite outstanding. I am here to promote Xiao Xing to an elite player. Of course, these are also the exact words of Boss Sakaki."

After listening to Xiaoji's emotional retelling, Hoshino opened the folder with an expressionless face. The file explained the specific reasons for Hoshino's unusual promotion.

Hoshino did not expect that in order to protect the Pokémon from being taken away by Team Rocket, the rare Pokémon materials he chose to fool the people would actually become the biggest gain of this operation. It is said that Team Rocket suffered heavy losses in this operation. Not only did they not take away any Pokémon, but their true identity was almost exposed.

Fortunately, the incident was settled in the end. The Rockets decided to hide for a while and asked Hoshino to continue to hide the identity of the Rockets until summoned by the Rockets. As for the rest, it was business as usual.

"Then this is the reward for this mission, please keep it."

Seeing Hoshino finish reading the document, Xiaoji handed another envelope to Hoshino, but it was empty...

Facing Hoshino's confused eyes, Xiaoji could only wave his hands innocently, "There was originally a bonus, but not long ago, Boss Sakaki's Pokémon Park was suddenly destroyed by a group of mysterious people. Our Rockets suffered a huge loss. It’s so tragic, not to mention that the St. Ann was destroyed not long ago.”

"Boss Sakaki believes that Xiaoxing will be considerate of Team Rocket, and the rewards for the next mission will be distributed normally." Xiao Ji rubbed his hands with a smile, indicating that these were also Boss Sakaki's exact words.

After hearing this, Hoshino still couldn't understand what Boss Sakaki meant. That is to say, Boss Sakaki saw Hoshino's achievements in the operation of the Saint-Annu and will not pursue him for destroying the Pokémon Park. However, the bonus will definitely be gone. We will see Hoshino's performance in the future.

Hoshino doesn't care about this. Although it's a pity that the money is gone, at least it seems that he won't have anything to do with the Rockets in a short time. After all, he himself joined the Rockets to complete the system's mission, and also to protect himself. Now he can stay away from the Rockets openly and honestly. Hoshino is also happy.

"This is all what was explained above." Seeing that the matter was finally finished, Xiaoji picked up the teacup and signaled to Hoshino that he could leave.

Naturally, Hoshino didn't want to stay any longer. Just as he turned to leave, Xiaoji suddenly said with concern: "By the way, since the sound insulation measures here are pretty good, you may not know that there is some chaos outside now. Please pay attention to waterproofing~ .”

Hearing this inexplicable reminder, Hoshino was of course confused, but when Hoshino opened the door, he instantly understood what Xiao Ji meant.

The streets outside were completely flooded by sea water. The originally prosperous dock was severely damaged. There were collapsed houses everywhere. Since the house where Hoshino is now located is on the edge and the terrain is relatively high, it has not been affected yet, but it has been affected. It's also a matter of time.

The initiator of this apocalyptic scene is a huge Pokémon that looks like a jellyfish in the distance. It is waving its thick tentacles and constantly destroying the surrounding buildings, just like the monsters on the Ultraman set. .....

[The Stinging Jellyfish, the jellyfish Pokémon, is the evolved form of the Onyx Jellyfish. Its countless tentacles are its most powerful weapon...]

"Ah... I can finally identify it this time, although there is still a difference in height..."

Looking in front of him was another Pokémon as huge as a mountain, much larger than the 1.6 meters mentioned in the illustrated book. Why does Hoshino feel like he keeps encountering huge Pokémon lately...
