Chapter 14: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [14]
Expenses reimbursed by the organization... or rather, as he liked to think of it, "operational funds allocation." Luo Yuan had practically mastered the art of it.
Back in Hoenn, Luo Yuan didn't even need receipts for Matori. He'd simply write down a number, transfer the funds from Team Rocket's Hoenn accounts, and that was that.
And though Matori often called it "misuse of funds," Luo Yuan couldn't disagree more. It's not like he pocketed any of that money, right?
Take first-class plane tickets, for example. If he didn't fly in first class, he'd be drained of energy and might slip up in front of Professor Oak. What then? What if it cost Team Rocket a vital opportunity?
The berries, the evolution stones—all of it went toward training his Pokémon. Making his Pokémon stronger was just another way to make Team Rocket stronger, right?
In essence, every item he bought only improved his ability to serve Team Rocket!
How could that possibly count as misusing company funds?

By the time Luo Yuan left Viridian Gym and returned to the Pokémon Center, it was nearly ten o'clock.
From a distance, he could see Nurse Joy chatting with Misty at the reception desk.
"Hm? Misty, you're still up?" Luo Yuan asked as he entered the Pokémon Center.
