Pokémon: Join Team Rocket at the Beginning

Chapter 632 Liliae and the School Idol

"Now that everyone has eaten, I will assign you your first task." Yang Ming took out a stack of flyers with the recruitment advertisement of the Melemele Island Pokémon School printed on them.

"You three are responsible for distributing these flyers on Akala Island. Be careful to keep a low profile and don't do anything to attract attention. Don't claim to be members of Team Rocket."

"Be careful to maintain good relations with the residents of the island, don't cause trouble, and don't steal other people's Pokémon. If you can't do that, I will kick you out, and you will return to the state of living in the open air."

"Yes, sir. We will definitely complete the mission!"

"We will let you know, sir, that we are worthy of your salary!"

"That's it, meow~"

Sure enough, after eating and drinking their fill, the three of them started working as if they were given a shot of chicken blood, and never mentioned their old business of "snatching Pokémon" again.

Yang Ming breathed a sigh of relief and ordered Jones to stay and supervise the work of the trio, while he took a boat back to Melemele Island.

"It can be considered that a difficult problem has been solved," Yang Ming thought on the way back. "If we let them snatch other people's Pokémon at will, they will be targeted by the people of the Aether Foundation. Let's first assign them a simple job of distributing flyers."

"When we need to develop robots in the future, this trio will probably come in handy."

…………

The next day, the school funded by Yang Ming and founded by Chengye Da Mu and Dr. Kukui officially began to recruit students. As the school's director, Yang Ming naturally came to the school in a suit and tie. However, unlike what he imagined, there were only a few parents bringing their children to the school's admissions office to register.

"Why are there so few students signing up?" Yang Ming frowned. This school was a project funded by him. If the number of students enrolled remained so small, it would affect his future plans.

"Boss, I've found out the reason," Tokugawa, who had been the supervisor at the school, came over. "Parents here generally don't pay much attention to education. They think that as long as their children live under the protection of the island god and work from sunrise to sunset, they'd rather have their children learn ancestral crafts than learn knowledge."

"Lord Hala also realized that this kind of atmosphere is not conducive to the development of Melemele Island, so he wanted to build a school. But even with his call, the islanders' thinking cannot be changed overnight."

"Is that so? This is not going to be easy." Yang Ming fell into deep thought. Just as he was thinking hard, a beautiful figure appeared before him.

It was Liliae. She was wearing a white dress and a sun hat on her head. Her beautiful blonde hair was tied into a princess hairstyle. She was wearing a pair of clean leather shoes and snow-white stockings. She looked very elegant and beautiful.

The little boys who came to sign up immediately turned their faces away out of shyness, and even their parents couldn't help but sigh.

"Where did this little princess come from? She doesn't look like a local at all."

"Maybe she's the daughter of a noble family."

"Oh my God, I really hope she is my daughter. My life would be worth it if I could have a child like this."

"As expected of Lusamine's daughter, she is as beautiful as her mother." Yang Ming sighed in his heart. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

"By the way, this method will definitely increase the school's enrollment rate!"

While Liliae was walking into a remote grove, Yang Ming stopped her.

"Hey?! You are the big brother from last night..." Liliae was startled by the sudden appearance of Yang Ming, but when she found out that the other party was Professor Kukui's friend, she instantly let down her guard.

"Yes, it's me," Yang Ming looked directly at Liliae and said earnestly in a sincere tone, "I have something I want to ask you for help with."

"Please tell me. I will do my best to help you wherever I can." Lilia said seriously. It seemed that she really wanted to help Yang Ming.

"Since you said so, I'll get straight to the point," Yang Ming took a deep breath and spoke word by word, "In order to save this school, Lilia, become an idol."

"Hey???"

Liliae was startled by Yang Ming's request, and her brain instantly short-circuited.

"Have you heard of a story? In order to save the school that was about to close down, nine girls chose to become idols."

Yang Ming quoted from a classic: "Lilia, you also have the qualifications to become an idol. For the sake of this school, please sacrifice your small self for the greater good."

"But, but I've never been an idol..." Liliae's brain was still short-circuited, and she could only refuse subconsciously.

"It's okay. I'm not asking you to be a real idol. I just want you to take a few photos to promote this school."

"But, but I'm not mentally prepared yet..." Liliae was still hesitant.

Just when Yang Ming was at a loss, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

Yang Ming looked back and saw Xi Jiana wearing a high school girl's uniform, with one hand on his shoulder and the other hand holding a vine, as if she was swinging down from a tree.

"If you want to find an idol so badly, let me give it a try," Xi Jiana approached Yang Ming, "Don't worry, my appearance fee is very cheap~"

"You?" Yang Ming pouted secretly, "I've never seen an idol who likes to climb trees."

"What do you mean? I just want to help you out of kindness!"

Yang Ming simply ignored her. This guy was just a wild child and he didn't look like he could be an idol.

"No...if I think about it carefully, it doesn't seem impossible." An idea flashed through Yang Ming's mind, "Why don't you debut as a group?"

"Ah..." Liliae was shocked by this wild idea. She hadn't even agreed to it yet, but she was dragged into the group...

On the contrary, Shijiana was very excited about this and without saying anything, she pulled Liliae, who was still confused, to take pictures.

"Come on, today is the first day of our group's formation. To commemorate this day, let's take a group photo first."

Just like that, Liliae became the school idol without knowing it, and was printed in the school brochure as the school's poster girl.

With Yang Ming's careful packaging and vigorous promotion, Liliae quickly became a household name on Melemele Island, and even attracted a large number of new students to sign up.

The parents also had a very good impression of Liliae.

"Is this blonde lady a student at school? She looks so well-educated and well-mannered."

"Maybe my daughter should go to school too, so she can become a young lady like this."

"Oh, if only my son could be as reserved as she is..."

The school’s student recruitment problem was thus solved.
