Pokemon: I Joined Team Rocket. How Does That Make Me a Villain?

Transmigrating as Sakaki's biological nephew, Arthur is berated by the boss from the start: "Why did you join Team Rocket?" All Arthur can say is: "Because the System made me!"

His golden finger has arrived, gifting him an Elite-level Volcarona right away, with a pseudo-legendary Gible egg ready to hatch at any moment. While others sell everything they own to pay five million for a Starter Pokémon, he casually brings out a max-level powerhouse.

On the surface, he's a newly recruited Team Rocket grunt. In reality, he wields the "Eye of Data" and can see through every Legendary Pokémon's secrets. The League monopolizes Starter Pokémon and bleeds the common folk dry? Seventy percent of the goods in Team Rocket's black market flow to ordinary people instead, benefiting the public. This shady organization may look like the villain, but it could actually be the real revolutionary army.

Stick with Sakaki, and you'll live like a king in three days. Have Team Rocket at your back, and you can do whatever you want from the start. While others are still fighting tooth and nail for Gym Badges, Arthur has already set his sights on the Indigo League Champion's throne, and plans to turn the League upside down for Team Rocket along the way.

But when he puts on "Afei's Mask" and secretly stirs up trouble, his own uncle Sakaki gives the order in secret: bring him into the fold and treat him like the young heir? Arthur grins: in this world, it's still anyone's guess who the real villain is!
