Ch. 58 - Team Rocket Hideout
I quickly found the switch behind the poster. After finding it, I pressed it, and as I did, the path to the basement where the 'Team Rocket Hideout' is, appeared.
I entered the 'Team Rocket Hideout'.

From where I stood, I could see stairs leading to the next floor, three rooms, and two Team Rocket Grunts.
"It's perfect to level up my Cubchoo and Abra."
I forgot to mention when I was checking Eevee's stats, I also switched Oddish with Abar.
I quickly switched Charizard with Abra, who is now in the front of the Team.
After switching, I move in front of the first Team Rocket Grunt.
"You broke into TEAM ROCKET's operation? What nerve!"

[You got ₽672 for winning]
After defeating the Grunt, I entered the first room.
Inside the room, there was a laptop and a computer on a table, I checked both of them but there was nothing on them.
After checking them, I picked up an Escape Rope from the table.
[You found one Escape Rope]
After putting the Escape Rope inside the backpack, I exited the first room. On my way to the second room, I realized that the second room, which I thought was a room, was actually just a hallway.
I walked down the hallway but soon reached a dead end and the hallway led nowhere.
Walking back, I entered the third room, which was guarded by a Team Rocket Grunt who was standing right by the entrance of the room.
"Who are you? How did you get here?"
<Team Rocket Grunt>
[Team Rocket Grunt sent out Drowzee]

Rhyhorn Lv. 26 - 76/79
Machop used <Low Sweep>, which was Super Effective against Rhyhorn.

Rhyhorn Lv. 26 - 52/79
<Low Sweep> also caused Rhyhorn's speed to fall.
Machop Lv. 21 - 3.2%
Rhyhorn Lv. 26 <Speed : -1> - 52/79

Rhyhorn Lv. 26 <Speed : -2> - 25/79
But it doesn't matter as <Chip Away> defeated Machop.
[Foe's Machop fainted]
[Rhyhorn gained 377 EXP. Points]
[You got ₽672 for winning]
After defeating the Grunt, he didn't stop me from entering the room.
Inside the room, there was a door which was locked and required a key.
"I'll get the key for this room on some other floor." I said as I examined the locked door.
I also looked around the room, but there was nothing else interesting, so I exited the room.
Somewhat done with the first floor of the 'Team Rocket Hideout', I planned to head to the next floor, but first, I'll need to heal up my Pokemon.
I retrieved Abra's Poke Ball and used <Teleport >, but for some reason, I was unable to use <Teleport > as an error notification popped up.
[You can't do that now]
"What happened?"
"Why can't I use <Teleport >?"
I again tried to use it, but the same error appeared again.
Looking at the error notification, something came to my mind as I tried to take out my Bicycle, but the same error notification appeared.
Connecting the dots, I quickly came to a conclusion.
"Is it possible that <Teleport > doesn't work inside a building? It seems that <Teleport > has similar limitations to a Bicycle, as both of them can't be used inside."
"I guess, I'll have to walk, at least until I am outside."
Using the stairs, I exited the 'Team Rocket Hideout' and appeared inside the 'Rocket Game Corner'.
Quickly walking out of 'Rocket Game Corner', I used <Teleport > to instantly travel to the Pokemon Center.
[Abra used Teleport]
The next second, I was inside the Pokemon Center, quickly healing my Pokemon, I again headed to the 'Rocket Game Corner'.
While walking back to the 'Rocket Game Corner', I checked Abra's PokeDEX entry, more specifically its Evolution Tree, and in the PokeDEX, it says that Abra evolves into Kadabra at level 16, but my Abra is already level 19.
"I'll need to level it up once to evolve it."
I then checked how much more EXP it needs to level up.
"So, it only needs 318 EXP to level up. It should get that much for the next battle."
Since the 'Rocket Game Corner' wasn't that far from the Pokemon Center, I quickly reached the 'Rocket Game Corner' while checking Abra's information.
"Okay, Let's go" I said as I again entered the 'Team Rocket Hideout'.
[You have entered Team Rocket Hideout]
Back on the first floor of the hideout, I used the stairs to get to the next floor.

Now on the second floor of the hideout, I looked around and I saw a lone Grunt standing in the middle, looking in all directions.
"BOSS said you can see ghosts with the SILPH SCOPE."
<Team Rocket Grunt>

"Damn, I guess I'll have to switch between Abra and Charizard one more time." I said as I looked at 172 EXP. Points that Abra gained from the battle.
"I just hope that Abra wouldn't die on one hit."
[You switched Charizard with Abra]
Raticate Lv. 17 - 100%
Abra Lv. 19 - 42/42
Raticate used <Hyper Fang>, which instantly ended Abra.
[Your Abra fainted]

[You got ₽544 for winning]
After defeating the Team Rocket Grunt, I looked around and on my right, there were stairs with leads to the next floor, but the stairs were not important right now as in front of me was something that I had forgotten.
"Is it possible to feel nauseous and throw up inside the Pokemon World?" I said as I looked at many shining green tiles, each with two arrows facing in certain directions.
These are called Spin Tiles. These tiles, when stepped upon, will move the player in the direction of the arrows depicted on them.
The player will continue to travel in that direction until they hit a wall, land on another spin tile which will send them in the direction based on the arrows on it, or land on a Stop Tile which will stop the player.
The Stop Tile is different from the Spin Tile, the Stop Tile is yellow in color and has square-shaped grooves on it.
"I just hope I don't throw up in the Real World while spinning on these tiles."
