Alex showed a small smile as he explained, "This is a Born S-rank Tauros along with 5 million Pokedollars. This is only your reward for helping with the test and for the next task, I will give you a new reward. Please remember that as long as you don't disappoint or betray me I won't be stingy when it comes to rewards. "
Elise showed a smile as she responded, "Ohh boss, you are truly the best. I was expecting a lot but I didn't think that you would be so generous. Hehe, Besides the fact that you give me such a beautiful smile when you give me my reward which makes it even better."
Alex showed a slightly surprised expression upon hearing Elise's words.
He wasn't ugly in any way, but he certainly wasn't good-looking enough to show an actually beautiful smile.
In his old world, Alex could be considered good-looking but not in the Pokemon world which was full of 9/10 or 10/10 people.
Especially when Alex thinks about the people he knew, he really wasn't anything special.
Wallace or Steven were both far handsomer than Alex and even Daniel was comparable in looks to Alex. Only because of the likes of Lt. Surge, Lars and Brock was Alex able to say he had an above-average look.
Alex, who understood that Elise definitely didn't see his smile as a "reward" didn't know what to say for a moment.
he felt that he would smack himself in the face if he refused to speak.
Unfortunately, Maria solved this problem, "Ha, is that a joke? like if someone would want such a lousy and boring reward or be happy to get it."
Although Maria said those hurtful words to Alex she just looked at Elise with her cold eyes as if those words didn't concern Alex.
Alex just rolled his eyes at that as he thought, 'Wow. so much for Maria getting softer.'
Elise showed a calm expression when she saw the cold and murderous eyes of Maria. She said in a relaxed tone, "Ohh just because you don't appreciate it doesn't mean it's worthless."
Alex, hearing this, felt it was a mistake to give the three their rewards at the same time.
Maria replied in a cold tone, "Ohh, how do you know I don't appreciate it? Maybe, I just think that you don't appreciate it and that you are just a money-grabbing bitch who thinks that she had a chance to impress Alex with such ridiculous words."
Alex, who selectively ignored the last two words from Maria, showed a small smile at hearing that.
He didn't wait for the conflict to get worse so immediately he said, "OK OK. That's enough. We don't have time for nonsense like that."
Elise and Maria looked at Alex but didn't say anything else.
Alex ignored the two and shoved Daniel's briefcase in his direction as he said, "Come, open your reward."
Daniel, who had been quiet the entire time, showed a subtle expression of delight as he opened the briefcase and saw what was inside.
Alex showed a satisfied smile as he explained, "This is a Born S-rank Venonat along with 5 million Pokedollars. I hope you are satisfied with your reward "
Daniel responds, "I'm satisfied. Please don't forget me if you have another job or task for me. I won't disappoint you.
Alex, very pleased with Daniel's words, said, "Haha, no problem. As long as you continue to practice hard and don't betray me, I will share some of the benefits with you."
This was exactly the result he had hoped to get when he was considering what to give to his subordinates.
He felt it was worth using those 10 million Pokedollars and those two Born-S rank Pokemon to pull Elise and Daniel deeper into his organization.
S-Rank Tauros level 23 (Shallow Gold) (77%)
S-Rank Venonat level 16 (Shallow Gold) (16%)
Especially since he intends to give these two a very high position in his organization, it is very important for him that they are at least halfway loyal to him.
Apart from that these two have a very high potential as trainers, which is even in the worst possibility is on the Late Elite level.
Although it's more likely that Daniel or Elise will make it to the Champion levels after 10 or 20 years.
Such talent is above the level of the average Team Rocket Executive and comparable to Team Rocket's top elite.
A handful of team Rocket Executives like Proton, Petrel, Ariana, and Archer.
The 4 Gym leaders, Lt.Surge, Koga, Sabrina, Blaine.
The Three Beasts, Carr, Orm, and Sird.
Although these are the top elite of Team Rocket, Alex only recognizes these 5 trainers as the true elite of Team Rocket.
Lt.Surge, Koga, Sabrina, Blaine, and Archer.
Each of these trainers is or will soon become a champion-level trainer.
Of these 5, Lt.Surge is the weakest and second oldest trainer but Alex still included him in his list because he had so many late Elite level Pokemon and will soon become a Champion level trainer.
Daniel and Elise both have better potential than Lt.Surge and worse potential than the other 4, according to Alex. Although he's not sure exactly how strong Blaine and Archer are, so he can't say for sure. But in Alex's estimation, Koga, who will later become an elite four member, and Sabrina, are the two with the best potential.
In terms of potential, Sabrina is the best and has the potential to become a Champion of a region or at least become an elite four-member.
The ability to instantly boost 1 of your champion-level Pokemon(s) by 2 or 3 levels in battles is just too strong not to have at least that kind of potential. Besides that, she already managed to train one of her Pokemon to champion level despite being so young.
Alex stopped thinking about his promising future and he looked at Maria who started to open her briefcase.
