The Chapter get Retranslated
Long ago, when the fatty abandoned him and fled, Spinarak's heart had already died.
Qingwu wasn't worried about any after effects from the fatty's escape; in his opinion, the fatty had no Pokémon left.
The companions' Pokémon who fled with him were all severely injured and had no attack power left.
If they were lucky, they would escape back to the base in the wild, which was full of wild Pokémon. If they were unlucky, they would remain in the wild forever.
Anyway, Team Rocket didn't prohibit mutual harm among trainers.
As for having one's Pokémon stolen, it was as simple as eating and drinking. Using any means necessary was the first rule Team Rocket taught all its members.
After the fatty escaped back to the Team Rocket base, the best possible outcome for him was probably to become a handyman at the base and live out his life there.
"You have to be careful of Fatty Brother. His older brother is a Team Rocket Captain, and this Spinarak was specially assigned to him by his brother," the tall guy reminded him, then, under Meowth's sharp gaze, swallowed the rest of what he wanted to say.
To Qingwu, this was extremely interesting. Meowth seemed like the true trainer, and this tall guy was like Meowth's tool.
Qingwu carefully cleaned Spinarak's wounds, removing small stones and grass clippings, then sprayed a specially formulated wound medicine on the injuries.
Spinarak's injuries were visibly healing at a rapid rate.
"This is Meowth's antidote. You happened to meet me," Qingwu handed over an antidote Energy Cube.
"Your Meowth was poisoned, and its full strength couldn't be exerted. If it weren't for me, your Meowth probably wouldn't have survived the Trial Island."
Humanity was what Qingwu wanted to possess within Team Rocket.
Qingwu wanted to gather a group of loyal and humane subordinates in Team Rocket.
This tall guy seemed agreeable, so Qingwu didn't mind helping him out and putting him in his debt.
"What, if I wanted to harm you, I would have had Zubat attack already."
Qingwu looked at Meowth, who still wore a wary expression, and complained to it.
"Meowth, he's right. If he wanted to harm us, he could have done it with his strength."
Qingwu didn't expect the tall guy to be able to persuade Meowth.
Meowth listened, took the antidote Energy Cube from Qingwu's hand, and popped it directly into its mouth.
Suddenly, Meowth's face rippled with emotion. Oh my god, what kind of divine taste was this!!!
Every time Meowth chewed, its taste buds could distinguish different flavors.
Meowth was even reluctant to swallow, wanting to keep the deliciousness between its lips and teeth. Meowth's eyes met Qingwu's half-smile.
Meowth's small face suddenly turned red, and it twisted its head away, acting quite tsundere.
After Meowth swallowed the Energy Cube, it felt a warm current flow from its stomach, circulating through its limbs and internal organs.
Before, after being poisoned, Meowth had felt intense pain every moment.
After this warm current passed, all the toxins were gone, and Meowth felt as if its whole body had been purified.
This made Meowth look up to Qingwu, directly acknowledging his strength.
Meowth barked at the tall guy, who thought for a moment, then nodded.
"My name is Shiranui Raimei. From now on, you're my boss," Raimei said directly.
"Thank you for saving my Meowth," Raimei bowed deeply.
"Take this Spinarak to increase your strength."
Qingwu picked up the Spinarak's Poké Ball that the fatty had dropped, and returned the bandaged Spinarak to it.
"But this Spinarak was abandoned by the fatty, so it will be difficult for it to open up its heart again," Qingwu said with some regret.
After all, Spinarak had taken Beedrill's Twinneedle to protect the fatty, but the fatty had unexpectedly abandoned it and fled.
"Then I won't be polite," Raimei took the Poké Ball containing Spinarak, as if taking on a responsibility.
"By the way, Boss, Meowth found a skeleton earlier, and there was a Treasure Map on it."
Raimei hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a slightly yellowed Treasure Map from his arms.
"Treasure Map? Are you talking about these?" Qingwu pulled out seven or eight Treasure Maps from his wristband.
Judging by the yellowed parchment, they might be even older than the Treasure Map Raimei had.
"These are all ownerless Treasure Maps," these Treasure Maps were all found by Aron.
After Qingwu got them, he casually tossed them into his wristband. If it weren't for Raimei's reminder, Qingwu might not have remembered these Treasure Maps.
These Treasure Maps were all found by trainers who discovered or found some treasures, but it was inconvenient to take them back to the base.
After discussing these Treasure Maps with Raimei, Qingwu chose the closest treasure spot.
However, this treasure spot had some problems; it was within Arbok's territory.
The climate on this Trial Island was very suitable for Ekans to breed.
The Ekans that escaped from Team Rocket's trial had all reproduced and formed large groups here.
The buried spot on this map was right in the middle of Arbok's territory.
It was very possible that when the map was drawn, that area was not yet Arbok's territory.
Qingwu stored the Pokémon left behind by the fatty into his wristband.
These Pokémon could be sold directly to the exchange, and some individual grunts would even buy Pokémon at high prices.
Team Rocket Base.
The fatty ran back to the Team Rocket base in a panic, his face full of fright.
The short guy and the skinny monkey were both attacked by Arbok and died from poison. He was lucky to have escaped back to the Team Rocket base.
The fatty even lost one of his shoes while running.
"Damn it, I'll definitely get my revenge for this!" The fatty recalled the short guy being bitten by Arbok and directly swallowed.
The skinny monkey was wrapped by Arbok's body, his bones completely crushed before being directly swallowed by Arbok.
If it weren't for those two Arboks being full and lazy, the fatty wouldn't have escaped death.
The fatty tidied himself up in the base's dormitory, then steeled himself and walked directly to a corner of the base.
He knocked on one of the rooms.
"Knock knock knock."
"Who is it?" a muffled voice came from behind the door.
"Brother, it's me," the fatty said, also lowering his voice.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come unless it's important?"
A guy who looked very similar to the fatty opened the door, glanced around, and after confirming no one was there, quickly pulled the fatty into the room.
"Brother, my Pokémon were stolen," the fatty cried.
"What happened?" The fatty's older brother frowned, looking at the fatty, whose snot and tears were mixed together, his eyes filled with disgust.
His younger brother had been troublesome since childhood.
If it weren't for their deceased parents.
The fatty's brother really didn't want to help him and even gave him a newly hatched, green-aptitude Spinarak.
The fatty exaggeratedly recounted the events.
However, he didn't say that he had provoked Qingwu, but rather that Qingwu had snatched his Pokémon without a word.
The fatty's older brother looked at the fatty's shifty eyes and knew that at least eighty or ninety percent of what he said was false.
