After swiftly seeing off Lianji, Qīngwù finally arrived at the exchange counter.

The exchange counter was already packed with people, everyone wanting to exchange a wave of resources before leaving the trial base.

Qīngwù looked at the bustling exchange counter, feeling a little secretly exasperated in his heart. When would it be his turn to exchange?

In a few days, he still had to go to the Hoenn Region, where there was no Team Rocket branch base, and the Hoenn Region was still a long way from Team Rocket.

Even if he exchanged resources, it wouldn't reach Qīngwù in less than half a month.

Qīngwù felt around for a shiny silver badge, and his heart immediately stirred. He found a quiet place and took out his laptop.

Qīngwù directly found his Team Rocket number by feeling the indentation of the shiny silver badge.

The Team Rocket number was the account and password to log into Team Rocket's intranet.

After Qīngwù logged into Team Rocket's system, he could modify the password. After Qīngwù modified the password, he entered the TM Exchange Area.

Qīngwù currently had 130,000 Team Rocket points. The points from previously selling Fire Stones were used to exchange for Pokémon training materials, leaving 120,000 points. Adding the 10,000 points he obtained as the first place reward in this trial, Qīngwù's current points were barely enough.

After Qīngwù entered the TM Exchange Area, he first searched for the most famous "Farmer's Three Punches" but found it out of stock.

Then Qīngwù successively entered the three moves: Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, and Swift. The stock was also 0.740.

However, Qīngwù unexpectedly discovered the move "Swords Dance." It required a full 50,000 Team Rocket points. Qīngwù didn't even think about it and immediately bought it.

Next, Qīngwù immediately bought "Feather Dance" and "Aqua Ring," spending a total of 70,000 Team Rocket points.

"TMs are truly a high-profit industry. I only bought these three TMs, and I'm left with only 10,000 points," Qīngwù grumbled, but his hands were extremely fast. Seeing good items, he immediately placed orders to buy them. In the blink of an eye, not even 10,000 points were left.

The items purchased would be picked up at the exchange counter after two days.

"It's a good thing these Team Rocket grunts don't have strong purchasing power, otherwise these good items wouldn't be available to me." Don't look at the Team Rocket grunts piling up at the Team Rocket exchange counter.

They didn't have too many Team Rocket points; the items they could exchange were limited.

Qīngwù now had to thoroughly decide which Pokémon he would use in Team Rocket and which he would use in the Pokémon Alliance.

The Pokémon Qīngwù currently had were Golbat, Aron, Squirtle, Torchic, Mudkip, Deino, Magmar, Three-Colored Piranha, and Snivy.

These were all Pokémon with Green Aptitude or higher.

Qīngwù also captured two Arbok, one Primeape, one Magcargo, two Sharpedo, and twelve evolved Pokémon contributed by the Blue Ridge Team.

These Pokémon would be exchanged for Team Rocket points. Primeape had already been subdued by Qīngwù early on but had been forgotten in his backpack until Qīngwù was organizing his backpack and wristband.

Qīngwù planned to use Golbat, Aron, Squirtle, Torchic, Mudkip, Magmar, and Snivy for his public identity, pretending to be a new Trainer.

After all, most of these Pokémon, except for Snivy, could be found in the Hoenn Region.

Moreover, Snivy was the Pokémon Giovanni gave to Qīngwù. Apart from Giovanni, Kōsuke, Musashi, Kojiro, James, and Jessie, no one knew he had Snivy. Snivy, as one of the Alliance's starter Pokémon, still carried some prestige.

Qīngwù's Team Rocket identity would temporarily use Golbat, Deino, Magmar, and Three-Colored Piranha. As for the Gira he might obtain later from Mt. Silver, Qīngwù planned to acquire this rare Pseudo-Legendary with his Team Rocket identity.

After all, Gira could only be obtained from Mt. Silver and was subject to Alliance control.

If Qīngwù suddenly possessed a Gira, he would inevitably be investigated by the Alliance. If investigated, it was highly likely that Qīngwù's cover would be blown.

Qīngwù also remembered that he came to the Kanto Region because the Breeding House's business was not doing well. He came to the Kanto Region to introduce special Pokémon from the Kanto Region to sell in the Hoenn Region.

However, he had just arrived in Vermilion City in the Kanto Region when he encountered trouble and was forced into Team Rocket's trial base.

Oh, Qīngwù remembered that after he went missing for three months, the Pokémon eggs produced by his anxiously searching Gardevoir and Gallade were also stolen.

This ultimately led to Gardevoir crying every day, which became Qīngwù's biggest regret.

Ever since Qīngwù was reborn and learned that the system had returned with him, he recorded all his regrets and major events from his previous life in the system to prevent himself from forgetting them. These were Qīngwù's capital for rising to power.

Qīngwù remembered the most recent important event happened in the underground black market of Saffron City.

In Saffron City, someone obtained a Life Orb from its peak period. After this news spread, it was subjected to assassinations by all underground organizations. Ultimately, this Life Orb changed hands several times and eventually disappeared without a trace.

A Life Orb combined with Nidoking, which had the Guts ability, that physical attack output would be terrifyingly powerful.

The Nidoking family was originally famous for its wide range of learned moves. Although Nidoking's physical attack was only 85, when combined with the Life Orb, it gained a 1.3 times boost.

The Guts ability could also offset the Life Orb's side effects, which was a very cool thing.

As for having the Life Orb but no Nidoking, Qīngwù said that the boat would naturally reach the bridge.

After all, Poison-type Pokémon were also Pokémon primarily cultivated by Team Rocket.

Qīngwù placed Mudkip's Poké Ball in the Pokémon Incubator, and slowly injected nutrient solution. Then, after adding a mysterious "Aqua Ring" (referring to the move he learned), Qīngwù closed the incubator's lid.

It was a pity that he hadn't found a Water Stone of extremely high aptitude. Otherwise, the Mudkip that hatched might have reached an even higher level. Qīngwù also knew this was wishful thinking.

After all, Pokémon with Blue Aptitude were really too rare. It was highly possible that only one Pokémon with Blue Aptitude might appear among millions of Pokémon, and most Pokémon with Blue Aptitude appeared between Pseudo-Legendaries and Legendary Pokémon.

Only Legendary Pokémon could possibly have Purple Aptitude, but Qīngwù's research only reached the idea of how to improve to Blue Aptitude.

If he wanted to truly succeed, he still needed the internal database of Team Rocket and the Alliance database. With the massive data within them as a foundation, Qīngwù could obtain the final calculation results and derive the optimal formula.

Qīngwù took out his Team Rocket identification card. The identity information inside all came from Trainers who had died from various accidents, but Qīngwù knew that this was a bug intentionally left by the Alliance.

The purpose was to find the moles infiltrating the Alliance. After all, joining the Alliance required qualification review, and it had to be ensured that three generations up and down were clean commoners to be allowed to join.

Therefore, Giovanni didn't think about why Team Rocket's entire network of informants was so smoothly uprooted by the Alliance this time.

Qīngwù knew that all of Giovanni's thoughts were currently focused on the cultivation of Mewtwo.

This was a tragic story. The ending was that Giovanni's Mewtwo flew away, and Giovanni embarked on an unceasing, single-minded pursuit of Mewtwo.
