Chapter 120: Never Thought You Were This Kind of Sabrina
"Officer Asahi, this is all the intelligence I've gathered during my years of infiltration within Team Rocket."
Wearing her Team Rocket uniform, Sabrina delivered her lines perfectly.
The next moment, she teleported away from the frame.
"Cut!"
Asahi called out, and Green quickly clapped the slate shut in front of the camera.
Watching Sabrina's near-flawless performance in the footage, Asahi turned to her and grinned. "Sabrina, you've got serious talent. Ever considered a career in acting?"
If this had been before, Sabrina would have turned anyone who dared to order her around into a doll.
But now, she could only suppress her frustration and act as if she hadn't heard Asahi's joke. "Are we done?"
"Of course."
Seeing that Sabrina wasn't interested, Asahi sighed in disappointment, feeling sorry that the entertainment industry had lost a future superstar.
He carefully stored away the SD card containing the recording.
This video documented the entire process of "Rocket Undercover Sabrina" handing over intelligence to "International Police Officer Asahi."
If she ever decided to betray him, all it would take was one release of this video, and Sabrina would instantly become a hero of the League.
Asahi felt that he was being incredibly generous to her.
"So, does this mean I'm officially part of the International Police now?" Sabrina asked.
"Of course. Welcome to the Kanto branch of the International Police—as our newest informant."
"I know our department's salary and benefits might not mean much to you, but take Green here as an example—she also started as an informant, and now she's a fully recognized officer."
"If you work hard enough, maybe one day you'll officially join us too."
Since Sabrina was now under his command, Asahi figured he should offer some encouragement.
Green nodded in agreement, as she had indeed followed this path herself. Now, she was Sabrina's "senior."
Sabrina, however, was not as naive as Green had been. She immediately saw through Asahi's empty promises.
But as a newly turned informant, she had to maintain appearances.
"I'll do my best."
Asahi understood that this was the most he could expect from her.
If Sabrina had suddenly shown overwhelming gratitude, he would have suspected her of having ulterior motives.
This was enough.
At Asahi's signal, Gardevoir withdrew the psychic field it had maintained around Sabrina.
Feeling the pressure vanish, Sabrina sighed in relief, realizing she could use her powers freely again.
Then, to her surprise, she noticed that her psychic energy had slightly increased.
Not by much, but enough to equal a month's worth of meditation.
What caused this?
Her mind immediately recalled the humiliating experience of eating Asahi's Pokéblock earlier.
Could it be because of that?
Asahi had no idea what she was thinking. Seeing her still standing there, he asked, "Why aren't you leaving? Do you like it here? I can have Indeedee turn this cell into your personal room if you'd like."
Sabrina snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head firmly.
No way. She wasn't a masochist.
Following Asahi and Green outside, she took a deep breath of fresh air.
For the first time since her capture, her cold expression momentarily softened.
It had only been half a day, but it felt like half a month.
And in that short time, her entire identity had flipped—she had gone from a Rocket Executive to an undercover agent for the International Police.
She had to keep this secret at all costs. If Team Rocket found out about her betrayal, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Taking a deep breath, she asked, "What's my mission?"
She knew Asahi was a goal-driven person. There was no way he recruited her just for fun—he definitely had a purpose.
Asahi thought for a moment. "For now, your mission is to gather information on the Mewtwo Project."
He wasn't sure how far along Team Rocket's cloning project was. If Sabrina could find out, it would help him plan his next move with Mew.
Sabrina frowned in thought. "Giovanni is highly secretive about the Mewtwo Project. If I deliberately probe, it might make him suspicious. I can only do my best…"
She stopped calling him 'Boss Giovanni'?
Noticing this subtle shift, Asahi smiled slightly and waved dismissively. "No problem. Just do what you can. Your safety comes first."
Sabrina was momentarily taken aback. She hadn't expected Asahi to care about her well-being.
Asahi then asked, "By the way, Team Rocket should already be investigating the Masked Army in Johto, right?"
From how Lt. Surge had been captured, Sabrina already suspected that this "Masked Army" was another of Asahi's schemes.
After thinking for a moment, she replied, "The Four Generals have already found some leads."
"Good. Keep an eye on that. If they start fighting, let me know."
That way, he could sit back and enjoy the show.
Green's eyes sparkled with excitement—she wanted to see the chaos unfold too.
"If Giovanni asks about your Gym assessment, just tell him you passed and that you managed to gather some intel from me. Anything except Mega Evolution and the Psychic Plate is fair game."
Sabrina nodded. Only now did she learn that Gardevoir's mysterious stone was called a Psychic Plate.
After giving her a few more instructions and setting up a communication protocol, Asahi concluded, "Alright, head back for now. If you're gone from the Saffron Gym for too long, it'll raise suspicion."
If he had already put all necessary safeguards in place, there was no need to hesitate—he decided to let Sabrina leave immediately.
However, to Asahi's surprise, Sabrina didn't teleport away right away. Instead, she hesitated before speaking.
"Um…"
"Hmm? Just say it."
"That Pokéblock from earlier… can I have another one?"
The moment the words left her mouth, a deep blush spread across her face.
Asahi blinked, looking at her in surprise.
Green also turned to Sabrina with wide eyes.
After seeing what had happened the last time, she couldn't believe Sabrina actually wanted to try it again.
Never thought you were this kind of Sabrina!
