Qing Wu saw these three starter Pokémon and unhesitatingly chose Snivy.
He was currently lacking a Grass-type Pokémon, and Snivy, with its sassy personality, was a super-strong special attacker, nicknamed a "walking artillery."
After Qing Wu chose Snivy, he handed the remaining two Poké Balls to Lei Ming.
Lei Ming knew that Ailian already had a Heatmor and wasn't lacking Fire-type main Pokémon, so she chose Tepig.
Ailian took the last Poké Ball Lei Ming handed over and saw that it was an Oshawott. Her eyebrows instantly rose; she was extremely satisfied with this distribution.
"Heh heh," Boss looked at the expressions of surprise on all three of them. They must be extremely satisfied with these three starter Pokémon.
Boss chuckled twice. When everyone's attention was focused on him, he hastily said to the three.
"Are you willing to join the Dark Division?"
Just as Qing Wu was about to nod in agreement, Boss hastily added, "Except for Qing Wu."
Looking at Qing Wu's face, covered in black lines, Boss explained, "Leader Sakaki has already requested you. He said he wants to send you on a secret mission, so you're assigned to the Dark Division, but you're not under our direct command. You'll be directly managed by Leader Sakaki."
After hearing this, Qing Wu felt a slight bitterness in his heart. "Isn't this another undercover mission?" The last undercover fleet mission had already left Qing Wu traumatized.
"Ah, just as I finished speaking, Leader Sakaki sent a mission request, asking you to join the higher ranks of the Laurel Alliance. All of Team Rocket's previous hidden lines in the Laurel Alliance have been purged."
"Now we know nothing about the Laurel Alliance's movements. Team Rocket will give you all the necessary support," Boss said earnestly after seeing the message from Leader Sakaki.
"I understand," Qing Wu replied expressionlessly, making Boss's heart suddenly skip a beat.
"We are willing to join the Dark Division," Lei Ming and Ailian said in unison, their expressions quite excited.
Previously, Qing Wu had analyzed Team Rocket's internal factions with Lei Ming and Ailian. Only the Dark Division was directly managed by Leader Sakaki.
The Dark Division was mainly responsible for apprehending Team Rocket members who defected, investigating corruption and illegal activities within Team Rocket, and investigating the movements of alliances. Every member of the Dark Division was an elite among elites.
Qing Wu's attitude towards the Dark Division was that it was extremely dangerous to join it. Every mission carried the risk of losing one's life. However, the Dark Division's benefits were also quite good. They could have enough resources to cultivate their Pokémon, giving them the opportunity for rapid growth.
Boss's and Giovanni's attitude towards Pokémon was also rare, an ideology of humans and Pokémon coexisting and developing together. This greatly aligned with Qing Wu's current values.
"Good, good, good," Boss said repeatedly, a wide smile on his face. The wrinkles on his face were so deep they could squeeze mosquitoes to death.
"Let me tell you the benefits of joining the Dark Division."
"First, after joining the Dark Division, your promotion speed is fast. As long as you can complete the assigned missions, you can be promoted one level immediately."
"Second, you will be respected. Our Dark Division has an outstanding position within Team Rocket. Every Team Rocket member will hold us in awe when they hear our name."
"Third, the treatment is good. As a captain, you can receive 5000 Team Rocket points every month."
...
Boss talked a mile a minute, just like a large-scale pyramid scheme organization. To win over Lei Ming and Ailian, he practically glorified the Dark Division as the best team in Team Rocket.
"Hmph," Qing Wu knew inwardly what was going on, but he knew better than to expose it.
"Fast promotion? That's because some of the Dark Division's manpower has been depleted. There are many vacant positions above. Besides you two fresh commanders, there are only a few others below."
"The Dark Division's status in Team Rocket is naturally outstanding. Once they appear before other Team Rocket members, even with concrete evidence that this Team Rocket member has committed a crime, they'll definitely curry favor with the Dark Division to suffer less punishment."
"The treatment is indeed good," Qing Wu also decided to join the Dark Division because of its good treatment.
However, one thing Qing Wu could be sure of was that after Lei Ming and Ailian joined the Dark Division and received strong cultivation from the Dark Division leader, they would definitely soar like dragons into the sea, flying high into the sky.
Originally, Lei Ming and Ailian were both trainers of considerable strength. After receiving strong cultivation from the Dark Division leader, they would definitely advance to Elite Four level trainers faster than in their previous lives.
As for whether there was a possibility of falling during missions, Qing Wu couldn't guarantee that. However, Qing Wu felt that Lei Ming and Ailian were both people of great luck to be able to advance to Elite Four level trainers in their lifetime.
Boss talked for nearly an hour, and only when his throat was dry did he pull out three shiny silver badges from under his black robe.
"These are your identity badges for joining the Dark Division. The number on them is your Team Rocket account password. Welcome to the Dark Division," Boss said warmly, leading the applause.
Giovanni shook hands with Qing Wu and the other two with a smile.
"If you have any questions, contact me in time. These are your communicators." Giovanni gave each person a brand new communicator.
Qing Wu took it and looked. Good heavens, isn't this the latest Team Rocket special communicator? I didn't expect it to be developed so early. Boss glared fiercely. He had actually been negligent and hadn't prepared communicators, letting Giovanni get ahead of him. This made Boss very unhappy.
"Then we'll take our leave first," Qing Wu planned to go to the exchange office first to prepare some skill CDs for his Pokémon, and then also tell Lei Ming and Ailian about the future training direction for their Pokémon.
After Qing Wu and the other two left, Giovanni said to Boss with a beaming face, "Old brother, share a good seedling with me!" Giovanni was also overjoyed by his gain.
"Get out!" Boss's temper flared, and he directly kicked Giovanni out of the office.
"I knew your little scheme the moment you got ahead of me by giving them communicators. Our relationship is over," Boss snorted coldly with a proud expression.
"Leader," after returning to Team Rocket's dormitory, Lei Ming and Ailian respectfully said to Qing Wu.
"Don't worry too much. The reward for this trial also exceeded my expectations." Qing Wu looked at the Poké Ball in his hand with a smile. This Poké Ball was an Advanced Ball, and a proud Snivy was sleeping peacefully inside.
"Yeah, it's always been the first place winner who gets the chance to pick one of the three starter Pokémon. I didn't expect the top three this time to also get it. This is truly great luck!" Lei Ming said excitedly.
"I wonder what quality of Pokémon these three starter Pokémon are," Ailian looked at the Poké Ball in her hand.
"These three starter Pokémon are all green-quality Pokémon. You two better keep it well hidden and don't let certain people get jealous," Qing Wu said seriously to Lei Ming and Ailian.
Team Rocket's internal factions were numerous, and competition was quite fierce. When a Pokémon with excellent potential was acquired, the most important thing to do before it grew up was to keep a low profile, commonly known as "nurturing in secret."
"Joining Team Rocket's Dark Division is both an opportunity and a risk. You must grasp it well. Everyone, pay attention: Pokémon are precious. Don't capture too many Pokémon that you can't take care of, because that would be neglecting both the Pokémon and yourselves," Qing Wu reminded them again.
"Ailian, you will assign members from your team to be squad leaders under you and Lei Ming. They are all rare talents. If you encounter any problems, immediately send me an emergency message through your communicator. I will reply once I see it."
"As for those fence-sitters who recently wanted to surrender to you, don't take any of them. These people are opportunistic. When you're down, they'll kick you. When you're doing well, their minds become active, and they want to ally with you. How can there be such a good thing?" Qing Wu directly sentenced these opportunists to death.
"I understand, Boss. Lei Ming and Ailian indicated that they knew what to do. Qing Wu then confidently headed to the exchange office. However, on the way to the exchange office, another familiar person stopped Qing Wu.
