Maria was shocked. "Really?? YOU were the first rookie! You don't look like much."

But Maria was thinking something else. "Oh, he's talented and has a good face. But he looks like a playboy. Though one thing I can say for sure is that he's a pervert in the end."

Alex said seriously, "Oho! I am being underestimated here. Let's do it like this. We bet who will win the rookie tournament. We can talk about what the stakes are. If I win, I want to have a date with you."

Maria angrily said, "DATE? Why should I go on a date with a pervert? What do you take me for?"

Alex answered seriously, "No, no. Don't get me wrong. I am suggesting a date to get to know you better. Nothing more. Even if I win, I'll just ask you to spend a day with me. Of course, I won't touch you without permission. I just want a chance to improve your impression of me. By the way, I'm not a pervert. I've never even had a girlfriend."

Maria said coldly, "Oh, you want a date with me? Ok, if you win, we'll go on a date. But if you lose, you owe me a favor. Besides, do you think I am stupid? You think that I can't recognize whether a man has experience in flirting or not?"

"Eh, was it that obvious?" thought Alex.

Maria thought, "Although I don't want to go on a date with him, the stake in this bet for me is minimal. I waste a day, nothing more. Besides, I don't think that I am gonna lose. Although his Zubat looks strong, it has no chance against my Ekans who knows Rock Slide. Apart from that, my Ekans is a monster. The improvement speed of Ekans is just top-tier. I have to be careful not to show too much. Otherwise, there is a possibility that the strong Team Rocket members will discover my Ekans. When that happens, I can hardly stand my ground. I have to get stronger faster."

Alex said happy, "Ok, the bet is on."

Maria said back calmly, "Good, see you in the tournament."

Maria and her Ekans looked for a free training place and as soon as they found a place they started to train.

Alex couldn't take his eyes off Maria. He didn't even notice how long he was staring. Unknowingly, he had fallen for her. This was the first time for him, so it will take him some time to get a hold of his feelings. You can say she was his first crush. Although he has seen many good-looking celebrities, he had never felt anything for them. Maybe it is because he has never met them in person. That could be the reason, or it may not. But one thing is for certain; Maria is his first love.

Maria saw his stare but ignored him.

Alex calmed down after a few minutes and went to the public dining hall to eat something.

Alex entered the public dining hall and was immediately greeted by Lars, who was currently surrounded by 3 rookies on the floor. The rookies had cuts all over their bodies, and blood was coming out of their ears.

Lars is a Team Rocket member because he conquered his Pokémon. Accordingly, he is a rank higher than the rookies who do not have a Pokémon yet. So he has the right to attack the rookies as long as he has a justifiable reason. Of course, if Instructor Lisa finds the reason to be insufficient, she can carry out a directed punishment. That is why Team Rocket members with a high rank do not usually do this unless it is worth the risk.

The public dining hall has CCTV cameras everywhere so that you can easily find out who made the first move. Only idiots or people who do not know the rules would cause trouble here.

Alex asked, "Hey, what happened here?"

Lars replied angrily, "These fukers dared to threaten me with my mother. Fortunately, these idiots did that in this room. Otherwise, I can hardly justify killing them."

Alex, who saw a corpse for the first time, had a hard time not throwing up. But he managed to suppress it. Alex thought about different things, like if it was such a smart idea to join Team Rocket. But he quickly dismissed this thought. Sooner or later, he must be able to kill, too. If he is not able to kill, it will not be long before he is dead. Especially in an organization like Team Rocket. Although he thought that after his first murder, he would be emotionally wounded, he has to do it. But he didn't want to think about these things anymore at this moment.

Then instructor Lisa came along with Team Rocket soldiers. She had the Team Rocket soldiers dispose of the bodies and called a couple of Team Rocket Lackey to clean up the place.

After that, she grabbed lars and brought him out of the public dining hall like a prisoner. Probably investigating whether Lars was the active party in this incident. 𝘧𝘳ℯℯ𝓌ℯ𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Alex looked confused in the direction where Lars was being pulled and thought, "Within a few minutes, I fell for someone first time in my life and saw a corpse. After I signed up for Team Rocket, only crazy things are happening."
