Spirit, I can hear the voices of all things

"Where is this? I want to go home."

"I'm telling you, I'm a rich man's child, let me go."

"I give you money. I give you a lot of money."

The carriage suddenly became chaotic, with all kinds of noises coming out.

"Get out of the car, get out of the car."

"Hurry up, don't delay, or you will be stabbed in the throat by the Zubat and bleed to death."

A pressure as huge as a mountain erupted from Zubat's body. Its small green bean-like eyes expanded to the size of copper bells, and it glared at him with a fierce look.

The sound stopped abruptly, and everyone felt as if their throats were being pinched by an invisible hand, making it difficult to breathe.

Under the pressure of Zubat, Xia Mu pretended to swallow and walked out of the car.

He looked up and saw that it was a brand new station. Many Team Rocket members, including Rattata and Magnemite, were patrolling the area.

They all had cold faces and icy eyes, like a cold and ruthless machine.

There was chaos all around, and people from other carriages were also driven out by other elves.

"Go and report quickly, don't waste time."

"Lady Athena has a bad temper."

"If Lady Athena gets tired of waiting, she will definitely whip you with a barbed whip until your skin is torn to pieces."

Captain Sato asked Zubat to drive the crowd away. Zubat flapped its wings and looked like a devil. Its ferocious aura made the people who had just got off the car hold on to the ground and scream loudly.

Looking at the man who was still hesitating, Captain Sato frowned and said, "Don't be polite, Zubat. Let's kill the chicken to scare the monkey."

After hearing the order, Zubat swooped down from low altitude with its wings and directly swept across the head of one of the men. Blood splattered everywhere and the man's head flew backwards with his eyes wide open and a look of fear on his face.

"Ah, ah"

"Dead people, dead people."

A shrill scream was heard.

Those who were too frightened quickened their pace, and those who were lying on the ground even rolled and crawled into the passage.

Xia Mu was driven into the underground passage, which could accommodate two people and had torches hanging around it.

In the dim firelight, there seemed to be ghostly elves, secretly coveting the souls of these humans.

After walking for about ten minutes, a light appeared in front of them. Xia Mu looked up and saw that there was a huge iron gate in front of him.

The iron gate is almost one meter thick and is surrounded by Gatling machine guns, which can fire a thousand bullets in a minute. Ordinary elves cannot withstand the machine gun fire.

After passing through the gate and walking a few steps forward, they came to a huge square.

The stone slabs in the square were stained with dried blood. Xia Mu could even feel an endless chill, as if countless people had died tragically here, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.

A huge screen stood in the center of the square.

[Gong Xia: Do I have it easy? Every time the Rockets recruit new members, a few people die in the square. The blood is all over my face and I can't wash it off! ]

[Screen: Yours is all over my face, but mine always breaks, oh my god, I get scared every time. ]

A hot blonde beauty was looking down at the cowering crowd with her arms crossed. She had a long thorny whip on her waist, which was still stained with blood that had not yet dried.

She looked impatient, and a white bubble box appeared directly above her head.

[Athena: Damn Apollo, every time he presides over the death trial, he has something else to do and pushes me out to play the villain. ]

[Athena: I'm so angry. I really want to slap a few people to vent my anger.]

The entire square was soon packed with people. Xia Mu took a rough look and saw that there were about three or four hundred people.

Athena waited until everyone was present, then walked directly to the table on the podium and sat down. She crossed her legs, grabbed the microphone, and slapped it hard on the ground: "Silence."

A tile on the ground was shattered by the whip, and everyone shrank their necks like quails, afraid that they would be hit by the whip.

Seeing the people below were so silent, Athena was immediately more satisfied: "You noobs, thank the leader for his kindness. For this death trial, we have decided to let you choose the elves first."

Athena clapped her hands, and a crack appeared in a corner of the square, which expanded to form a hole.

Large iron frames containing Poké Balls emerged from it.

There are three large iron racks, filled with Poké Balls.

You can clearly see the Pokémon inside through the Poké Ball.

{PS: The setting of the Elf Ball is based on the comic version, which can be seen.}

Athena had a playful smile on her face: "The elves are first come, first served. Whoever grabs it is the winner."

"Think about it, if you can pick a Pokémon with extremely high qualifications and strong attacks, wouldn't it be easy for you to survive the Rocket Team's trial?"

"Let me tell you, only one in ten of you, or even less, can become a formal member of Team Rocket."

"The fate of others is to lose their lives."

As soon as she said this, the eyes of the people around her turned red, and they began to become suspicious of the people around them.

After Athena gave the order to snatch the Pokémon, the crowd rushed towards the Poké Ball.

"This gas bomb is mine."

"Don't fight with me, this Arbok is mine."

"Go away, go away, that's the walking grass I'm looking at."

[Athena: Tsk tsk, I provoked you with just a few words. Where is the trust between people? ]

[Athena: Facing the fear of death, I guess no one can be trusted. This is the survival rule of Team Rocket. ]

[Athena: Haha, you noobs, you never expected that most of the elves this time were caught in the wild, and they have not been domesticated.]

When Xia Mu saw what Athena was thinking, his expression suddenly changed.

This Rocket Team is even more vicious than I imagined.

Athena's character is even worse. The welfare benefits of Team Rocket are so good that so many people are willing to take the assessment and even risk their lives.

Fortunately, I have this golden finger that can listen to everything, otherwise I don’t know how to survive in the Rocket Team, which is full of intrigue and traps.

Please collect and recommend. My new book needs nourishment.

Chapter 3: Almost Falling into the Trap

Xia Mu turned his attention to the undercover agent standing beside him.

This undercover agent was a guy who looked honest and simple. He was standing aside motionless, as if observing something.

[Undercover: Go ahead and grab them. There are only a few of us. There are at least thousands of Poké Balls on the shelf.]

[Undercover: The qualifications of these elves are probably not very good. Just pick one that you like later.]

[Undercover: I guess all the high-qualified elves have been picked up, so it's not our turn yet.]

This undercover agent with thick eyebrows and big eyes kept complaining for a long time.

Xia Mu finally understood that the qualifications in the elf world were arranged according to six colors: white, green, blue, purple, orange (gold), and red.

White is the most common and red is the highest.

The levels of elves are divided into:

Novice: Levels 1-10.

Normal: Levels 11-20.

Senior: Level 21-30

Elite: Level 31-40.

Advanced Elite: Level 41-50

Gym: Level 51-60.

Quasi-king: Level 61-70.

Uranus: Level 71-80.

Champion: Level 81-90.

Sect Leader: Level 91-100.

The higher the elf's qualifications, the smaller the bottleneck, and the easier it is to break through and become a king, or even a champion.

White means blank elf, the most common elf in the elf world.

The generally recognized rule of the alliance is that green qualifications have gym-level potential, blue qualifications have quasi-king-level potential, and purple qualifications have king-level potential.

But this is not absolute. There are also some elves with extremely low qualifications who, through hard training, break through the limits of their bodies and become kings.

Basically, elves with green qualifications are one in a hundred.

Blue-qualified Pokémon are generally the main Pokémon of gym masters and Rocket Team cadres.

As for elves with blue qualifications or above, they are basically hard to come by. If you can get an elf with purple qualifications, it is basically like smoke coming out of your ancestral grave, a blessing from your ancestors.

Because an elf with purple qualifications, if trained properly, would, if nothing unexpected happened, become a king-level elf.

This reminded Xia Mu that the bubble frame of Golbat was blue.

Does this mean that the Pokémon eggs hidden by Zubat can hatch Pokémon with blue qualifications?

In order to verify whether his judgment was correct, Xia Mu immediately looked at the Poké Ball.

Sure enough, there were countless white dialog boxes floating on the Poké Ball, and dialog boxes of other colors were mixed in with the white dialog boxes.

[Xia Mu: The dialog box floated out from the Poké Ball, and the dialog box in the white dialog box represents the qualifications of the Pokémon? ]

Xia Mu took a quick glance and saw that most of the dialog boxes were white, with only a few being green.

As expected, according to what the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes said, all the elves have been strictly screened by the Rockets Team.

The elves with high qualifications had already been secretly divided up.

Xia Mu looked at it for a long time before he discovered two spots of blue.

And one of the spots of light was even dark blue.

[Xia Mu: Could it be that the two Poké Balls contain Pokémon with blue qualities? Why does one of them have a different sheen? What's with the dark blue color? ? ? ]

Xia Mu thought secretly. There were not many people fighting for the Poké Ball at this time, and the guys who took the Poké Ball were wary of the people around them.

Under Athena's instigation, they all thought that the people around them were imaginary enemies, so they dispersed and went to different corners.

Athena looked at the fact that most people had already chosen their Poké Balls, with only a small group of people standing still. Immediately, admiration appeared in her eyes.

[Athena: These people are calm and composed, and they are indeed good talents. Our Rockets team needs people like them. If they don't die young, they can indeed be recruited.]

[Athena: It just so happens that part of the base has been lost, and many official members have died. We can use them as cannon fodder. ]

After Xia Mu saw Athena's cruel heart, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

[Xia Mu: Team Rocket really doesn't treat the bottom members as human beings. No wonder everyone on Team Rocket is so focused on climbing up.]

Xia Mu strode over to one of the Poké Balls, which contained a Nidoran.

This made Xia Mu very happy. Nidoran is a Pokémon comparable to the three starter Pokémons. He didn't expect that he could get a bargain.

[Elf Name: Nidoran]

[Gender: Male]

[Qualification: Dark Blue (Potential between Quasi-King Level and King Level)]

[Feature: Poison Sting]

[Level: 5 (Novice Level)]

[Attribute: Poison]

[General skills: Poison (proficient), Licking tongue (entry level), Shadow clone (proficient), Double kick (entry level), Tile splitting (entry level), Ghost face (entry level)]

[Evaluation: It is brave and good at fighting. Even if it faces an elf that is several times stronger than it, it will not give in. ]

Nidoran, who has mastered the skill of shadow clone, is also proficient in the skill of poison.
