Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 268 Zhu Lan's brain has shut down, why are her own sisters so cowardly?
Should we avoid having any connection with Mammon?
Watching Cattleya's departing figure, Zhu Lan seemed lost in thought.

She seemed to understand; Cattleya must like Mammon, right?
But how could I possibly have any connection with Mammon?
Cynthia pondered. She was the champion of the Sinnoh region, while Mammon was the leader of Team Rocket. The two were very different in status.

And her feelings for Mammon, how should I put it? They were complicated, but Zhu Lan was certain that it wasn't the kind of passionate love she felt.

Because of her mature and steady personality, Zhu Lan has never considered her romantic relationships, or rather, she is not clear about her criteria for choosing a partner.

Zhu Lan shook her head and walked into the villa. "Gardelia is really something."

She acted as if she was afraid of him stealing her man, even though there was already a high wall between them that blocked their sisterly relationship.

But could she possibly steal him away? Did Cattleya already see her that way?
If Cattleya and Mammon can get together, Cynthia will be very happy.

Putting aside Mammon's identity, Mammon is indeed an outstanding man.

It's probably no surprise that it's the strongest in the world, right?

In the lobby of the villa.

"You, Higana, can take Mei and the others to that Hunter organization's base and take care of it. As long as nothing unexpected happens, you don't need to do anything; just stand by and watch."

Mammon toyed with the three shrunken Poké Balls in his hands and spoke into the video call.

That troublesome hunter organization base can be left to Mei and her team to handle; they'll definitely be happy to do so.

"Okay, send me the location."

Higana nodded listlessly, since she didn't have much to do anyway.

"Okay, Gladio will contact you." Mammon hung up the phone.

"You found the Hunter Organization's base?" Zhu Lan happened to overhear this.

“Yes.” Mammon didn’t even look up, staring at the Sinnoh map on the table.

"The hunter organization in Sinnoh is quite large, and there are many high-level hunters, which is much more serious than in Hoenn and Unova."

"It seems you, Zhulan, aren't exactly a competent champion?"

Mammon made a sarcastic remark.

"I've tried my best to wipe them out, but these hunters are very cunning, and Team Galactic is also interfering."

Zhu Lan walked to the sofa to Mammon's left, gracefully placed her hands on her hips and sat down, her tone quite helpless.

She certainly wanted to eliminate these vile hunter organizations.

After all, the Hunter Organization only looks at the commissions they receive. For example, if an employer wants a rare Lucario, and a trainer happens to have one, it might come into the Hunter's sights.

Then the hunter will stop at nothing to steal the trainer's Lucario and hand it over to the employer.

The hunter doesn't care whether the Lucario is wild or not, whether the Lucario is mentally healthy, or whether the Lucario lives or dies afterward. He only needs to complete the mission and get the reward.

It's fair to say that Rosamund Kwan deeply abhors this cancerous organization, the Hunter Organization.

However, the Hunter Organization is very cunning and has multiple burrows, making it extremely difficult to eradicate them.

"So we still need Team Rocket. We know all too well about the ways these dark organizations operate."

Mammon's lips slowly curled up. Yes, because they were not familiar with the ways of the Dark Organization, it was quite difficult for the Sinnoh League to find the location of the Hunter Organization's base.

But Team Rocket are members of a dark organization, and they know the rules of the underworld inside and out.

Zhu Lan remained silent, which was indeed true.

"So having Team Rocket control the underworld is the best option. We can maintain stability in the entire dark world, but unfortunately, that old man Damaranchi isn't happy about it."

Mammon clicked his tongue; of course, he understood Damalanchi's thoughts.

After all, Team Rocket is too uncontrollable, and from Damaranchi's perspective, if Team Rocket, which controls the entire underground world, were to make any move, it would be catastrophic.

"If you can guarantee that, or offer Chairman Damalanqi some reassurance, I think he will consider it."

Zhu Lan remained noncommittal; if she were in Damalanqi's shoes, she wouldn't agree either.

After all, the Rockets are just too dangerous and uncontrollable.

Although Mammon is not a vicious criminal, he is definitely someone who acts recklessly and arrogantly.

If such a person is allowed to expand his power and eventually become the king of the entire underworld, the law will not be taken seriously at all.

"It doesn't matter, let them do whatever they want. I want to see what kind of solution they can come up with in the end."

Mammon's lips curled into a grin.

Seeing Mammon's confidence, Zhu Lan's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Mammon, you are strong, but what if the Alliance wants to have a final battle with you?"

Zhu Lan felt that this was not impossible, even though Mammon was very powerful now.

But the Alliance has ruled the world for over a hundred years, and even Zhu Lan doesn't know how deep its foundation is or what secret weapons it has.

“Isn’t that perfect?” Mammon laughed even harder.

"This is a good opportunity for the league to face reality. Otherwise, they would always think they could compete with my Rockets, which would prevent them from finding their proper place."

Just as Zhu Lan said, the reason why the last talks with Damaranchi broke down was that Damaranchi believed that the Elf Alliance still had the upper hand. He was willing to make some concessions, but he was unwilling to sit idly by and watch Mammon ignore the laws of the Alliance.

In Damaranqi's view, the rules of the alliance are the foundation of world peace and prosperity. How terrible it would be if a person (or organization) who disregards the rules appeared.

Ultimately, Damaranchi wanted both ways: he didn't want to clash with Team Rocket led by Mammon, but he also wanted to recruit them.

But Mammon didn't want that. He wanted Team Rocket to become the true kings of the underworld, on equal footing with the Pokémon League, while he himself would stand above the League.

“…Mammon, you are really too arrogant.” Zhu Lan was speechless for a moment, then sighed and said.

"You're the arrogant one, Cynthia. You know nothing about my power, nothing about Team Rocket's power," Mammon retorted sarcastically.

"Strength is the reason for becoming a king."

Mammon looked down at the three shrunken high-level balls in his hand. "You should even thank me, thank me for not being an ambitious man like Quetzalcoatl who wants to rule the world, thank me for not being a fanatical 'upper class' like Red Sun, thank me for not being a madman driven insane by reality like Vladari."

"Mammon said sarcastically."

Zhu Lan remained silent, and she roughly understood that she couldn't persuade Mammon.

"Let's not talk about that, Cynthia. I really want to invite you to become a member of our organization. If you join, you can choose any one of these Pokémon. How about it?"

Seeing that Cynthia didn't answer, Mammon changed the subject and gestured to the Poké Ball in his hand.

"What is this?" Zhu Lan tilted her head in confusion.

"The legendary giants: Regirock, Regice, and Registeel."

"..."

Lan's delicate face showed a hint of surprise. Of course she knew, after all, Shindai had used Regirock and Registeel to fight Higanbana.

"If you don't think much of these three, there's also Zapdos and the legendary Avatar, to be honest, I still value Cynthia very much."

Mammon smiled, his eyes sweeping over Cynthia. If Cynthia, the Sinnoh champion, became a member of Team Rocket, tsk tsk…

This is absolutely hilarious!

Do you value me as a person, or my 'person'?
Zhu Lan noticed Mammon's gaze again and couldn't help but shift her hips and step back a little.

Caldelia, I think your warning should be addressed to Mammon, not me.

It's clearly the man you like who's lusting after me!

"I'm doing fine in the Sinnoh League, and I'm not planning on switching sides," Cynthia replied, shaking her head.

“That’s a real shame.” Mammon wasn’t surprised.

"What are you planning to do next? Look for Chi Ri?"

“We haven’t found where the Crimson Sun is yet, but we have discovered something quite interesting.” Mammon looked at the Sinnoh map.

"Oh?"

"You'll find out tomorrow, it's finally here."

Mammon glanced at his ringing phone and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"?" Zhu Lan asked, puzzled.

Then he saw Mammon stand up, walk to the door, open it, and a very stylish and beautiful woman wearing a black fitted short-sleeved shirt and hot pants walked in.

This woman is... Kiku, the Raven City Gym Leader from Unova.

Zhu Lan recognized her at a glance, after all, she was still in the Unova region just a week ago.

Xiao Ju'er's appearance is very distinctive; after all, in terms of looks, Xiao Ju'er is truly outstanding.

Especially those two incredibly long legs under her hot pants—I doubt many men could resist them.

As soon as she entered, she saw Mammon. A smile appeared on Xiaoju'er's cold and beautiful face, and her long, fair arms naturally wrapped around Mammon's neck in a very intimate manner.

"You've kept me waiting for quite a while."

"We finally managed to get away from Mei and the others, did you miss me?"

Xiaoju had no choice; otherwise, she couldn't have just followed Mammon away, could she? Mei would have had to shamelessly follow as well.
"Didn't we video chat just a couple of days ago?" Mammon laughed.

"Hmm~" Little Chrysanthemum stared intently at Mammon, but soon her eyes caught sight of Orchid sitting on the sofa.

"The champion of Bamboo Orchid is here too."

Xiao Ju'er immediately stopped her impulse and released Mammon, feeling a little embarrassed.

"You're just staying here temporarily, Little Chrysanthemum Pavilion Master. What's your relationship with Mammon?"

Zhu Lan was a little confused. Mammon and Xiao Ju'er seemed to be getting a little too close, making it hard not to suspect their relationship.

But doesn't Cattleya like Mammon?

"Friends." Xiao Ju'er's fair face didn't blush at all.

Huh?? Do you think I'm blind?

Zhu Lan was a little confused. You two were almost kissing just now. If there weren't people in this villa, there might have been a battle in the entrance hall.
And Mammon's hand is on your butt! Is this what you call a friendship?

"Zhulan, please sit down for a while. Xiaoju and I have something important to discuss."

Mammon pulled Xiaoju'er upstairs. Hmm, he also missed Xiaoju'er a little.

Watching Mammon and Xiaoju'er disappear around the corner of the corridor, Zhulan fell into deep thought.

What are they going to do?
But the next moment, Zhu Lan's gaze fell on Jia Deliya, who appeared out of nowhere.

Caldelia's face was expressionless, and it was immediately clear that she was in a bad mood.

"Cattleya, what's going on with Mammon and Little Chrysanthemum?"

Zhu Lan couldn't help but ask Gadriya, even though her relationship with Gadriya was a bit delicate at the moment.

However, Zhu Lan still cares a lot about Cattleya.

"Just a shameless vixen, nothing special," Cattleya replied indifferently.

Are you sure?

Zhu Lan looked a little strange. "Are you sure everything's alright? They're probably about to start playing cards already, aren't they?"

Zhu Lan suddenly felt that her sister seemed to have something green on her head.
