Alex was briefly stunned, but he recovered quickly and said calmly, "Hello, Instructor Lisa. My name is Alex Stark, and I just conquered my Pokémon. I wanted to report it to you."

Lisa said seductive, "Sweety~ Am I not a beautiful elder sister? Why are you not reacting at all? This is a bit rude." Seeing Alex was still calm, Lisa frowned. ​​

Alex's indifferent expression made Lisa doubt her charm, though not that much.

Although Alex thought that Lisa looked very good, he knows that there is no nice person in Team Rocket. Especially the female members who have to show strength or madness to scare away the Male members.

Lisa saw that the fish didn't take the bait and said boringly, "Ok. You're the first rookie to conquer your Pokémon. That's why you get 1000 TR Points and 3 Ultra Ball as a reward. The items and 3 Team Rocket member suits will be delivered to you within an hour. But you don't have time to rest, be ready to fight with your Pokémon. When this week is over, the rookies will fight against each other to determine who among 100 rookies is the strongest one. If you are the strongest rookie of the bunch, not only will you get rewards, but you can also take part in a much better tournament."

Lisa said sternly, "The strongest rookies in each city have the opportunity to participate in the rookie tournament organized by the boss. Btw if you win the tournament, you will get a Larvitar Pokémon Egg from the boss. And have the chance to become a direct subordinate of the boss in the future. Not to mention, you will also help me to get a promotion indirectly if you win. So make full efforts, honey~" When she has finished speaking, she and Alakazam teleported away.

Alex went back to his room. He took the items he used to conquer Zubat and headed towards Lars's room. Alex let Lars transfer the 400 TP points and gave the items to Lars. Then he explained how he conquered Zubat and asked him if he should wait in front of the door in case of an emergency.

Lars was grateful for this suggestion and accepted it.

5 min later, Lars came out with a Zubat on his shoulder. Alex thought that he would be arrogant again with a Pokémon by himself. But to his surprise, he was very grateful for the help and asked to be his friend. Alex didn't think about it for long. After all, one more friend is better than one more enemy.

As Alex went to his room. He thought about where to spend his 1600 TR Points. he thought of TMs first. TMs like Protect, Taunt, Roost, Sludge Bomb, and Mega Drain are useful for Zubat. The problem is that they cost too much.

Protect 1000 TR Points

Taunt 5000 TR Points

Roost at least 100 000 TR Points (Rare, not always available)

Sludge Bomb 20000 TR Points

Mega Drain 10000 TR Points

As a second option, Alex thought of healing items. Healing items are divided under focused on injuries and focused on recovery. Focused on injuries items, do as the name says, take care of the injuries of the Pokémon. It also restores stamina, but the effect of restoring is worse than the items from Focus on recovery.

Focus on recovery items restores stamina and weakly heals the Pokémon. The problem is that the healing items with the best effects naturally cost more.

injuries items:

Potion 100 TR Points

Super Potion 200 TR Points

Hyper Potion 1000 TR Points

Max Potion 5000 TR Points

recovery items:

Fresh Water 2 TR Points

Soda Pop 5 TR Points

Lemonade 10 TR Points

Moomoo Milk 50 TR Points

Energy Powder 25 TR Points

Energy Root 500 TR Points

recovery items like Moomoo Milk are ideal for newborn Pokémon babies, and Fresh Water, Soda Pop, Lemonade are recovery items for trainers who have little money.

Energy Powder is mostly used by Elite trainers.

Energy Root is only used by wealthy trainers.

You have to remember that you can only use 1 potion on a Pokémon per day.

Injuries items, in general, are unpopular. Trainers rarely buy Injuries items. They prefer to go to Pokémon-Center (if you are registered as a trainer in the alliance) or to Team Rocket Pokémon-Center (if you are a member of Team Rocket). It is cheaper and more effective than a potion. Injuries items are considered emergency items to be used when your Pokémon is about to die.

Alex thought about what to buy for 1 hour and came up with the most critical items he needs now.

Alex decided to buy Protect for 1000 TR. Even though it costs a lot of money at the moment, Protect is a life-saving move in this world. Every good trainer wants his Pokémon to have Protect to be safe in an emergency. Besides, Pokémon can move in front of the trainer and then use Protect. So it is also a trainer's life-saving move.

Alex also bought 10 Energy Powder for 250 TR points and 10 bottles of Tauros's blood for 320 TR points. The energy powders are there to ensure that training with Zubat is efficient. The Tauros blood is one of the most expensive blood that Team Rocket sells, but it's worth every point if it makes Zubat stronger and healthier.

"Ok. Goal number 1 is to look for rookies who also need help and get the necessary money from them. Goal number 2, become the strongest rookie of the 100 rookies and collect the rewards for winning. Then use the rewards to get even stronger." thought Alex with enthusiasm.
