When Jack open his eyes he is already at the square and he is among one of the first ones to awake. There are around 300 kids all are around 14 years old lying on the floor sleeping and not knowing where they are. Jack already knows the fact that Team rocket use some sort of sleeping gas while we are sleeping in order not to wake us during the traveling.
Times pass quietly and soon after about an hour the sleeping gas effect wear off and the rest of the sleeping kids start to wake up. Among the kids who wake up I see the different expression all around, some where angry and cursing, some were confused, some were panicking and some were crying asking for help.
I am pretty calm as I have already experience this before. I look at the surrounding and saw several burly man surrounding us. They all have fierce expression and some are smirking at our misery.
They all wear team rocket uniforms, each of those guy has big red R painted in the front. Without saying everyone of our age know about team rockets and heard how cruel they are. None of the children dare to go near them let alone ask them all help and some of the smarter ones started to know the situation. After that many of kids start to form group. I did not offer to join teams and nobody approach me. In the orphanage not many people know me as I always train in the forest alone. Those know me do not like me as I always look cold and reject whatever they invite me to do. The only interaction I have in the orphanage with the same age is when absolutely necessary.
Beside me is a girl, who looks are above average. Although she seems scared as their are some tears left in her eye, she still looks a bit cute. Right now she is tightening her fist to make herself calm. She does not join others which means she is one of the smarter one and realize the situation. Those who can adapt any given situation is most likely to survive in this cruel island.
Before long, the noisy square suddenly become quiet and the middle age man with sinister expression came. He is nearly two meters tall and wearing a military uniform. On his left chest the symbol red is printed and he is followed by around 20 team rockets member, each follow by Arbok, signature pokemon of team rocket. The Arbok of middle age is almost twice as big as other, has some scars in the face.
Jack heard the square become quiet and look at the middle age person. As expected It was him. I recognize the middle age person exactly and take a glance at his large Arbok who was next to him.

Looking at the information of this Arbok, Jack has a surprised expression because it is a bit high and he knows as the Elite captain overseeing this trial island he has many stronger pokemon of elite levels as his main pokemon. This Arbok is nothing more than a pet.
"Everyone be quiet and I want all of you give attention to what I say and I will only say it once! Of course I know you have many questions but keep those questions to yourself. If any of you guys annoy me with any sort of questions I will feed you to my Arbok. He has not eaten anything today you see and his favorite snack is kids. If you do not trust me feel free to try."
Everyone stop talking after that. None of the kid dare to test the patience of this middle age becuase the huge Arbok beside seems to understand his trainer meaning and started to eyeing everyone as his food with his saliva drooling. His pressure is immense and we could not utter a single sound. It was a dead drop silence.
Seeing the expression of us, the middle nodded in satisfaction and continued, "My name is Cobra, in simpler words I am boss of this island currently and I am responsible for all of your life. I can even kill any of you if I don't like it." Laughed continued" But I won't because you are all value assets to team rocket and I want as many of you survive although that will depend on your capabilities."
He then raised his voice and said, "If you graduate from the orphanage normally you will still be bottom of the society. Alliance will not care anything about your lives. But we team rocket is still willing to give your pathetic lives a chance. Become strong and change your fate and life. This island is your best opportunity to do so. If you become strong enough and still bear a grudge against me you can kill me and team rocket will turn you a blind eye. Although that will not happen anytime soon."
After middle age men shouted these words, the expression of everyone changes and they all started to see hope. If there is a choice everyone wants to be trainer and becomes strong.
