Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 261 Brother Mammon, choose me! Beautiful and sweet-voiced, I can fly all over the country!
"These... these are all Pokémon that the organization can provide?"

When Plantina saw the Pokémon in the Team Rocket app's redemption list, her eyes widened, making her look quite adorable.

If I had to describe it, this is her expression right now.

(○—○)

But it's no wonder Plantina was shocked, because the number of Pokémon on the list was just too outrageous!

Leaving aside Dratini, Larvitar, and Baby Dragon.

Zapdos, Regice, Thundurus, and Tornado—these are all legendary Pokémon!

Prantina now finally understood why Gadria was able to bring out a Pokémon like Tapu Lele.

Isn't this Rockets team being incredibly generous?!

Shinji's eyes flickered, his gaze fixed on Regirock and the other two legendary Titans.

He still clearly remembered that his brother, Raiji, had been defeated by the 'giants' of the Age of Gods.

Now, does he also have a chance to obtain the legendary giant?

"Of course it's true. These Pokémon are currently being raised on the organization's farm. As long as you have enough merit points, you can exchange them for them."

"However, the premise is that you can capture them yourself. Pokémon are beings with their own will. You cannot gain their approval, nor can you command them."

Mammon made this clear, and it needs to be made clear.

In fact, it's not just in legends; the same applies to ordinary Pokémon. Even if people exchange for a Pokémon, they still have to go through the process of catching it themselves.

After all, newcomers who receive new Pokémon at the research institute need to gain their approval, right?

There are also quite a few new players who have been rejected by the starter Pokémon they received.

It's just that catching ordinary Pokémon is relatively easier, while legendary Pokémon are much more difficult to catch because they are inherently powerful.

However, generally speaking, Team Rocket executives who have enough merit points to exchange for legendary Pokémon are not lacking in strength.

"Amazing!" Prantina couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of her heart.

While Mammon's assessment is indeed a threshold, it's still quite impressive, considering it's a legendary Pokémon.

"Chief Mammon, I need to do a mission!"

Shinji clenched his fist; his target was Regirock!
And to gain merit, one naturally needs to complete missions.

Upon hearing this, Prantina's pretty face changed slightly; in fact, she had the same thought.

She had just glanced at the task list for other regions in the app, and it was mostly about clearing out hunter organizations, capturing wild overlord Pokémon, and small, obscure evil organizations.

Strictly speaking, there's nothing wrong with these tasks; on the contrary, they bring positive benefits to the region.

Could it be that the Rockets are actually a legitimate organization?
Prantina's impression of the Rockets and Mammon changed quite a bit.

"Don't rush. The organization has only been in the Sinnoh region for two days and is still exploring."

Mammon smiled and gently stroked Kirachi's round belly in his arms as he spoke.

"Once we get a clear picture of the situation, the Sinnoh section will be updated with new quests. Don't worry, the organization is just starting out here, so there will be plenty of quests."

After all, the Galactic Team is a tough nut to crack. As long as Shinji and Plantina are diligent in participating in the cleanup, they will surely earn merit.

"Wait for further notice. I will notify you first. Besides, you all need experience to improve your strength faster."

Mammon is quite dedicated to nurturing new talent.

"I understand." Shinji said with some regret.

"Especially you, Shinji, I believe you have great potential, but you still need to train harder and not just focus on increasing the intensity of your special training."

Now that Shinji has joined the organization, Mammon feels he should give Shinji some pointers.

Shinji frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"The relationship between trainers and Pokémon has always been mutually supportive. We must not only find the path that suits us, but also find our true strength."

“There’s no reason why Pokémon can become stronger without rigorous training. That’s true, but you have to find the right balance and pay attention to the Pokémon’s condition. It’s not just about physical care, but also about emotional connection.”

"When Pokémon and trainers recognize each other, they can sometimes unleash unimaginable power, because the Pokémon is not only fighting for victory, but also for you, its trainer."

Mammon said to Shinji.

Shinji remained silent.

Actually, he subconsciously disagreed with Mammon's statement because, in his opinion, is it really meaningful to develop a bond with Pokémon?
Moreover, how can we conduct rigorous special training after we've built a stronger bond?
However, since Mammon was his leader, Shinji still thought about it for a while.

"If you don't understand, go battle with Hikari. Hikari is an excellent trainer."

"You should also experience her power firsthand and the bond between her and Pokémon. I've always firmly believed that trainers can understand each other's beliefs as long as they fight with all their might."

Seeing Shinji deep in thought, Mammon glanced at Plantina and ultimately respected her decision.

This should also help Prantina regain her confidence, after all, she was brutally defeated by Cattleya before.

"Xiaoguang, is it okay?"

"Hmm~ No problem, Shinji, how about a match?"

After hesitating for a moment, Prantina did not refuse.

"Row."

Shinji agreed, as he wanted to see just how good Plantina, whom Mammon called an 'excellent trainer,' really was.

There's no need to go outside to find a place to fight; there's one right in the backyard.

And the result...

The match ended with Plantina's complete victory, and Shinji's defeat was swift and decisive.

Even Torterra, the ace of Torterra, was completely overwhelmed and defeated by Plantina's Garchomp. Clearly, there was a significant difference in strength between the two.

"...Am I really that weak?"

Shinji frowned. It wasn't that he had never been defeated before, but this was the first time he had been beaten 0-6 in front of someone his own age.

To be honest, Shinji always thought that his strength was quite good among his peers.

Shinji, are you alright?

Seeing her aloof new colleague standing there lost in thought, Prantina couldn't help but worry that she might have gone too far.

"It's nothing, thank you for your guidance. I have benefited greatly from this battle."

Shinji snapped out of his daze, shook his head, and bowed to Plantina. He had always been rather conservative in this regard, and he always respected true powerhouses.

For example, in the original work, even after a crushing defeat, Takeran and Kamishiro were still treated with respect and courtesy.

"Don't mention it, we'll all be colleagues from now on," Prandina replied with a reserved smile.

"With your abilities, Hikari, why did you join Team Rocket?" Shinji asked, somewhat puzzled.

He could imagine how amazing and talented Plantina, who was the same age as him but already so powerful, must be. She could be said to be the trainer who could suppress the entire Sinnoh generation.
"For some special reasons," Prantina pursed her lips, not revealing her ordeal.

"Moreover... my strength is still far from sufficient."

"?"

Shinji thought Plantina should be at Versailles. She had already beaten him so badly, and she still called it 'far from enough'?
“I’m not being modest, Shinji. You’ve seen Lady Cattleya too, haven’t you?”

Plantina probably understood Shinji's thoughts, and her pretty face showed a hint of bitterness.

Shinji nodded silently. Cattleya was the elegant girl with gorgeous long golden hair who followed Mammon.

"I battled her this morning, and she defeated my entire team with just one Pokémon."

Prantina's tone was somewhat somber. When the battle ended, she was completely disoriented and her mental state had collapsed.

If it weren't for her strong will, she probably would never have wanted to fight again in her life.

"..." Shinji's expression changed. That elegant young lady was actually this strong?

The scenario of one person defeating six opponents only occurs when there is a significant difference in strength.

Therefore, it's clear that Gadriya is probably a champion-level player, right? But Gadriya is so young.

If Gadria is this strong, what about Mammon, the leader of Team Rocket?

But soon, Shinji slowly clenched his fists, and his eyes became somewhat fiery.

He suddenly felt that joining the Rockets might have been the right decision; in this environment, he could become stronger faster!

"If I can become stronger and defeat Ms. Cattleya, maybe Mammon will agree to let me leave Team Rocket..."

Prantina thought to herself, she still felt that her future did not belong to the Rockets.

Although she knew the idea was unrealistic and that Mammon wouldn't let her leave the Rockets so easily, what if? Even if there was only a one percent chance, Plantina felt she should give it a try.

As for why they didn't just run away...

That's a good question. First of all, Prantina is not a person who breaks promises. Unless absolutely necessary, Prantina would be embarrassed to break a promise she has made.

Secondly, she could indeed secretly escape and hide, but what about her family and clan? What if Mammon retaliates against her family and clan?

Therefore, Prantina understood that unless Team Rocket was completely destroyed, or Mammon and the others were arrested, it would be impossible for her to escape secretly.

Because this was purely a case of 'saving' oneself, but leaving the consequences for one's family.

For the next two days, Mammon stayed in Zhuqing City.

Mammon was quite leisurely on his first visit to Zhuqing City, while Cattleya and the others were all rather busy.

Higanbana is training her newly acquired Dratini, Gadria is training her baby Lugia, Plantina is sparring with Gladion, and Shinji is also undergoing special training.

It's worth mentioning that Shinji did slightly change his methods of brutally training Pokémon. Although still strict, at least it no longer gave people a feeling of abuse.

He also began to consider the feelings of the Pokémon.

This is a good thing. Mammon believes that Shinji, who can understand the feelings of Pokémon, will definitely grow up faster.

There was also good news: Mammon finally received a report that Team Rocket members had discovered the location of a Team Galactic base.

Outside a fruit tea shop, Mammon, wearing sunglasses, leisurely sipped a straw.

On the left was a Jirachi, on the right a Victini, and on the opposite side floated a Miss Shell. The three of them were happily enjoying their juice and cakes.

They can be considered the three great protectors.

"Great news! Everyone, we've discovered an evil organization, Team Galactic, in the Sinnoh region!"

"In order to eliminate this terrifying dark organization, those of you who have time are welcome to sign up for the upcoming cleanup operation."

Mammon posted a pinned thread on the forum, and the number of replies to the thread skyrocketed instantly!
"Aaaaaah!! Can we finally fight that evil organization again? I want to join!"

"Boss, pick me! Boss, pick me! Beautiful, great in bed! Can fly!"

"Pah! The person upstairs has no shame! With your flat chest, you dare to talk? Brother Mammon~ I'm big! Pick me!"

"Seriously, are you two serious? Isn't the boss hiring thugs? What are you talking about?!"

"I, Touko, am not happy about this real-name system! Students should act like students, okay? You're all flat-chested, flat-bottomed, and plain-faced. How are you going to compete with my sister Mei, who can fly all over the country? Go back and do your homework!"

An account with the ID 'Mei is the best in the world' made an arrogant and domineering statement.

"???" This is Touko.
