Chapter 21 - Pokemon Master Of Tactics: 21
Lisa said seriously, "Now that the tournament is over, I can tell you about your duties. Every team rocket member must have collected at least 100 TRM Points (Team rocket missions) every 3 months. As a Team Rocket member, you now have access to the Team Rocket Missions center. In the Team Rocket Missions center, you can accept missions that give you TR points and TRM points. You can decide for yourself which assignments you take, but after 3 months you have to collect 100 TRM points. Believe me, the penalty for failure is cruel. Should If you have collected more than 100 TRM Points, you can use them for the next payment or exchange them for TR points. OK, now that I have completed my task, I am leaving "
Lisa called her Alakazam and teleported away.
The rookies were surprised by Lisa's indifference. Few rookies walked out of the room and a few waited to chat with other rookies.
Alex went to Maria and said "Congratulations for the victory, I owe you a favor. Tell me about the TRH device if you need help."
Maria said surprised "wow, you are a surprising good loser. I thought you would get angry for the defeat"
Alex answered seriously "no you're wrong, I'm very angry that I lost. The date and the tournament were very important to me, but a loss is a loss."
Maria said "oh, was the date so important to you. I don't mind giving you a chance but I don't have time right now."
Maria thought "wait what did I just say? I was so happy to have won that I didn't even think about what I was saying. But still, normally that shouldn't happen to me. I think he's a bit cute, but nothing more. But he could be a rapist or a crazy one, in Team Rocket you never know. I find it strange why he seems so friendly. but maybe he is really in love with me? I am so confused."
Alex happily said "good, I'll tie you to these words after a month."
Maria said "hmm, do that. I'm going away now."
Alex happily waved "see you"
Alex thought "am I imagining it or is she a bit a tsundere? I think I've watched too much Anime, but I have the feeling that she is hiding her true feelings. Good, but who doesn't in Team Rocket?"
After Maria left, Lars came to Alex to talk a bit. Both exchanged their experiences and promised to stay in contact.
Alex headed for the recruit dormitory to pack all of his things and go to his new room. Because Alex is now a team rocket member, he gets a new room. After he packed everything up and registered for his new room, he left the recruit dormitory.
Almost all Team Rocket members are accommodated in the Team Rocket Dormitory. From Team rocket member to Team rocket elite captain, everyone sleeps in The Team Rocket Dormitory. Private houses only have high ranks.
Alex stood in front of his new room and opened the door. His new apartment had 5 rooms: kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, training room, living room. Alex was impressed with how much better his room is now, but it didn't matter to him. he wants to get stronger and more luxury doesn't help.
he took out Zubat's Pokemon Ball and threw it on the floor.
Zubat who is healed appeared in front of Alex. Zubat looked very sad that he lost this fight.
Alex said, "Don't be sad about Zubat, there isn't a Pokemon that has never lost. It's my fault we lost. I should have tried to find a better attack move for you. I thought we would win easily with this tactic. I was way too arrogant and self-confident in these tactics"
Zubat looked at Alex and said with sign language and gestures "No, I was too weak"
Alex said seriously "let's work hard that we win next time."
Zubat looked at Alex with a (¬_¬) expression
Alex was stunned and said confusedly, "Zubat what about that expression?
Zubat looked serious at Alex and said with sign language and gestures "You are predictable. Besides, I train hard, you just watch how I train."
Alex was briefly stunned. But after a few seconds, he laughed out loud. He forgot the pain of losing while laughing.
Zubat saw that Alex felt better and watches it with a (¬‿¬) expression
