Starting with Musashi
Chapter 99 Starting with Musashi
After leaving the company, Xia Mu did not summon his Growlithe to ride, but instead walked along the street, contemplating life.
Everything that happened today taught him another lesson, making him realize that no matter what he does, he must be more meticulous and consider more aspects.
In short, he has now made his decision and is just waiting to put it into practice step by step.
As Xia Mu walked along, he didn't notice that three figures were following behind him.
It wasn't until they had walked a long distance and the crowds had thinned out that Xia Mu noticed.
Using the power of waveguides to investigate, Natsuki was surprised to find that it was Team Rocket's trio.
After waiting for two or three days without any news, they suddenly appeared, and they were even following him.
[It seems I was overthinking it. You guys do have your own ideas and don't want to continue living that nomadic life...] Xia Mu's lips twitched slightly as a teasing thought arose in his mind.
I continued walking forward, but not towards home; instead, I turned into a narrow alley.
Seeing this, Musashi, Kojiro, and Meow Meow, who were following Natsuki, were afraid of losing him, so they quickly quickened their pace and caught up.
However, when they arrived at the alley entrance, Xia Mu had already vanished without a trace.
"Where did it go?" Musashi exclaimed in surprise.
The alley was deserted, and the end of it was completely blocked off.
"Could it be that we've been discovered, and he deliberately went into the alley to hide?" Kojiro asked suspiciously.
Meow looked left and right: "But how did he leave, meow? There wasn't a trace, meow."
Are you looking for me?
Suddenly, Natsuki's voice came from behind, startling the Team Rocket trio.
The situation changed, and Xia Mu stood at the entrance of the alley, blocking the only exit.
As for how it moved, it couldn't have been by its own power, but rather by the power of Mewtwo.
Mewtwo always carried it with him, and Xia Mu wasn't afraid that it would know his secrets. Even if it knew some of them, it would only think that he was unfathomable and wouldn't harbor any suspicions.
After all, Xia Mu subdued it through sheer strength.
"You, you, you! How did you get behind us?" Musashi's voice had changed.
Kojiro and Meow Meow, standing to the side, both looked at Natsuki with serious expressions.
They suddenly felt a little regretful. Although this person had recruited them, it was only a verbal recruitment and there had been no actual action.
Their approach was rather unexpected.
However, having already made some ideas and decisions, despite his fear of being constrained, Kojiro mustered his courage and said immediately, "Back on Crimson Island, you said that if we wanted to find a better way out, we could come to you. Now we're here."
After saying that, Kojiro couldn't help but swallow again.
Seeing this, Xia Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression revealing that he had completely grasped the psychology of the trio.
"You guys actually arrived at Round Island yesterday, right?" Natsuki asked in return, without answering their question.
Upon hearing this, Musashi and Kojiro exchanged a glance, then looked at Meow Meow, and nodded in unison.
"So, you should also know that I caught Yamato and Kosaburo's Team Rocket and the poacher gang trying to capture Moltres at Mount Lampfire, and they've now been detained by the League police," Natsuki added.
Musashi, Kojiro, and Meowth must have been even more certain of his abilities and strength because of this, which is why they came to test him.
Seeing them nod again, Xia Mu became even more certain of his thoughts.
Seeing that they didn't dare to speak, Xia Mu gestured for them to relax: "Don't be so nervous. Since I've extended an olive branch to you, it means I have some understanding of you. I won't say I know you inside and out, but I already know the most basic information."
After speaking, Xia Mu, seeing their shocked expressions, took the initiative to tell them about the information they had.
"Don't doubt a single word I've said, because if I've said it, I'm absolutely certain. Let's start with you, Musashi. Your mother, Miyamoto, was once an assistant to the head of Team Rocket, holding a very high position and wielding considerable power. Unfortunately, when she was young, she went to search for the legendary Mythical Pokémon Mew, and then disappeared without a trace... You were probably only five years old at the time, so you may never even know your own background..."
"After your mother Miyamoto left, you were adopted by a poor family when you were young. Because of poverty, you were never full. As a child, you didn't understand. Because of the food shortage, you even fantasized about making delicious food out of snow to fill your stomach. If you hadn't been lucky, you probably would have died on some snowy night."
Xia Mu paused slightly at this point.
Musashi's expression grew increasingly grim, clearly indicating that she still harbored deep resentment over her childhood experiences and yearned to rise above others. However, she never had the opportunity and was plagued by bad luck. In desperation, she joined Team Rocket.
"I admit I'm lucky, but if you say it's just good fortune, then I can only say you don't understand at all! If I had died on those nights, I wouldn't have the life I have now. Compared to you, I should be the unluckiest person in the world." Musashi's resolute words were unexpected.
Upon learning of this, Kojiro and Meowth, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but give Musashi comforting looks, but dared not say anything.
They understood Musashi and knew that once Musashi was provoked, things would get out of control.
Musashi appears carefree on the surface, but she is actually a very strong-willed woman.
"Although I can't fully grasp how painful everything you went through as a child was, I know that you could have become a Pokémon Nurse like Nurse Joy. But by some twist of fate, you ended up at Chansey Academy... As far as I know, your grades at Chansey Nurse Academy were quite excellent. It's just that humans can't use Pokémon moves, which prevented you from graduating. You could have easily changed careers back then; you didn't necessarily have to be a Pokémon Nurse. But in the end, you chose to join Team Rocket because you started to give up on yourself, feeling like you couldn't do anything right. You longed for freedom and craved recognition from others, and Team Rocket could give you all of that... Actually, you're very beautiful; it's just your hairstyle that ruined it. If you had pursued a career as a star or model, you might have achieved great success." Natsuki said, subtly praising Jessie as she spoke.
This diverted Musashi's attention, making him feel slightly embarrassed.
This woman is actually quite easy to fool; she's simple-minded and not particularly bad.
Even though they had done a lot of things to steal Pokémon in the past, they had actually shed their villainous image after being influenced by Ash. They just deliberately did bad things to highlight themselves and show how great they were.
