Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 298 Cynthia: Joining Team Rocket? I'll Think About It

Yukshi and Akhnom left, intending to return to their lake for a good night's sleep.

After all, they had been captured by Team Galactic and had their 'mind' power extracted during this period, which was not a good experience for them.

Now that things are over, it's time to get some rest.

Amridor, however, stayed behind to travel with Mammon.

Of course, before Uxie and Arknom left, Mammon had them perform a 'prayer' with Emberdos one more time.

Yes, Mammon had Cattleya take a picture of it so that his descendants could see it later.

This is the prayer of the lake gods!
"It feels good~"

Mammon looked at the messy pillars of spears around him and couldn't help but stretch. It was finally over.

"What a fruitful day!"

Mammon couldn't stop smiling as he looked at his haul.

The Vajra Jewel, the White Jade Jewel, and the heavyweight Celestial Flute!
This is the harvest of props.

Furthermore, they also captured a very 'talkative' Memrider, as well as Giratina, the master of reversals!
This is what Pokémon has gained.

Finally, he received the spiritual blessing of the lake gods and the physical blessing of Arceus, and also received power from Arceus.

"This power still needs further training, but it's already much stronger than the power of Everlasting."

Golden light appeared on Mammon's palm, and he easily controlled a stone on the ground, demonstrating his mind control over objects!

Superpowers could do the same thing, but Mammon knew that his own power was far greater than any superpower.

Previously, Mammon's Viridian Power only possessed natural Pokémon affinity, allowing him to sense Pokémon's emotions, communicate with them, and then heal them.

However, the power of Tokiwa itself would not have turned Mammon into 'Superman', but things are different now.

"The Great Venerable's power of creation is indeed extraordinary. Even if it's just a simplified version given to you, Mammon, you could still achieve things like accelerating plant growth if you cultivated it to a deeper level."

Amrito, perched on Mammon's shoulder, swayed his two tails and spoke.

To promote plant growth?

Zhu Lan was somewhat moved upon hearing this. Could a human really do something like this? It's outrageous.

Is it really a humanoid Pokémon?
“Yes, I know.” Mammon waved his hand, dispelling the golden light. Undoubtedly, the power he had gained was similar to the energy of the Arceus followers in the Valley of Creation of Carlos.
This kind of energy requires self-cultivation, as demonstrated by the Mayaribalza siblings in the theatrical version.

However, Mammon received his creation power directly from Arceus, and his current creative power is already quite abundant.

Most importantly, it's this body and teeth that have been tempered and refined through countless trials!

Mammon is now confident that he can take on ten of those troublesome little vixens like Xiaojuer!
Let her cry and beg her father to stop!

"Pillar of the Spear, I will return."

Mammon's lips slowly curled into a smile. The next time he returned, it would be the time to challenge Arceus!
The three of them rode Reshiram away from the Pillar of Spears.

Ie-en City, also known as the City of Bonds, is a city where hearts connect.

The city was established because it became a friendly metropolis formed as people and Pokémon gathered together and businesses developed.

Yosuga City was also voted the most livable place in the Sinnoh region, which shows how popular Yosuga City is.

Meanwhile, Mammon and his two companions arrived in Eden City. They were quite tired after a long day, although Mammon was still full of energy.

The group went to a famous restaurant for a meal, and then checked into a hotel and booked a suite to rest.

“Comfortable~”

Inside the room, Mammon lay on the bed, while Sinnoh Champion Cynthia was massaging Mammon's back while holding up her trousers.

"Zhu Lan, a little heavier."

"..."

Zhu Lan couldn't understand the sound, but she still increased the force of her footing.

A few minutes later, Zhu Lan breathed a sigh of relief and got off Mammon.

Mammon leaned against the bedside table and reached out to Zhu Lan. Zhu Lan sat down with practiced ease and nestled into Mammon's arms, her pretty face pressed against his chest.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Mammon's arm circled behind Zhu Lan's neck, while his hand expertly slipped inside Zhu Lan's collar.

"Mammon, I'm going back to the Alliance tomorrow."

Zhu Lan tacitly accepted Mammon's behavior; there was nothing she could do, she had already gotten used to it.

Although her relationship with Mammon is a bit complicated now, Zhulan still silently believes that what she is doing is not a betrayal of Cattleya.

After all... she and Mammon didn't have a real physical relationship, so it can't be counted, right?
Moreover, strictly speaking, Cattleya is currently only Mammon's friend and subordinate, and there can be no other relationship between them.

Well, Zhu Lan knew that thinking this way was a bit wrong, but she had no choice but to convince herself of it.

Why go back to the Alliance?

Mammon, who was practicing Tai Chi on the dumpling, asked curiously upon hearing this.

"do not you know?"

Zhu Lan held down Mammon's mischievous hand and looked at Mammon with a puzzled expression.

"This afternoon, Higana led a group of people into the Alliance prison, injured the guards, and killed several prisoners."

Zhu Lan sighed and said.

Those dead prisoners were members of the Bellriz family who participated in the 'Rayquaza capture incident'.

"I see. It seems that Xijiana has found out the location of those people."

Mammon instantly understood, chuckled, and said, "They deserved to die. Don't worry about them. They were just greedy fools. Keeping them around would be a waste of their time."

Seeing that Zhu Lan remained silent, Mammon offered a word of advice.

In Mammon's view, those who were able to participate in the 'Raikkon capture incident' were all people consumed by desire.

None of them were innocent. In Mammon's view, Higana was doing a good deed for the world by killing them.

Moreover, there is no one more suitable to take action than Higana.

“No, Mammon, I just feel they don’t deserve to be punished like this.”

Zhu Lan shook her head, her tone still rather heavy.

She knew about Shioka's situation, so when Cynthia returned to Sinnoh, she immediately led a group to the Bellridge family to arrest the participants in the incident.

In her opinion, these people were wrong, but how to put it?

In Zhu Lan's eyes, these people were heinous, but not deserving of death. After all, these people from Bellici were not the masterminds, but merely participants.

And the masterminds, the Johto Pokémon Association members, have all been killed by Sisley, haven't they?
“Zhu Lan, your idea is not wrong, but this matter is not about what we think, but about the people involved.”

"Of course, the person in question is dead, so Higana is the one with the most right to speak."

Mammon chuckled softly, but he didn't mock Zhu Lan as he had before.

After all, their relationship is different now.

“Sigana lost her most important sister, so it’s only natural that she would want to take revenge on those who were involved back then.”

“I understand that the Alliance has its own laws, but if I may be so bold, simply imprisoning those criminals will not eliminate Higana’s hatred.”

"Humans sometimes need to vent, otherwise if Xijiana's mental health isn't healthy, she might do something even more irrational, don't you think?"

Mammon looked at Zhu Lan's clear, beautiful eyes, which seemed to be deep in thought, and made a pointed remark.

"Sometimes, what we perceive as justice can actually be an accomplice to evil."

“Cynthia, the League does not have the death penalty. They advocate that human rights and life are above all else. If I hadn’t helped Cynthia, perhaps even those bastards from the Johto Pokémon Association would still be safe and sound.”

"Or perhaps they are simply imprisoned, but because of the power they previously held, they may still be able to escape imprisonment through other means."

“Is this… right?”

Zhu Lan was taken aback by what she heard; she really hadn't thought of that.

"What's wrong with that? Is the league really all clean? Take our Rockets for example, we have several senators in the Kanto League with whom we have conflicts."

"Not to mention the Johto Pokémon Association, otherwise how could Damaranchi have not heard a word about what happened back then?"

Zhu Lan fell silent, her lips pressed tightly together, unsure of what to say.

"Because of their own selfishness, these people's greed even led them to target Rayquaza, and they even killed a trainer who had been recognized by Rayquaza. Most importantly, Shiokana herself only left Meteor Falls in order to shatter the prophesied meteorite."

Mammon's tone was incredibly sarcastic.

"I can tell you frankly, Cynthia, Rayquaza has always kept this in mind. Once Rayquaza masters Mega Evolution, it might come back to take revenge on those people one day."

"At that time, Rayquaza may affect many innocent people. Which is more important?"

"Let's look at it another way. This time they dared to make a move against Rayquaza. Although they didn't actually capture Rayquaza, they're just one step away from it."

"Who will they dare to target next?"

Mammon's question is undoubtedly unanswerable, after all, the Johto Pokémon Association is already finished.

But such a question startled Zhu Lan.

Yes, Mammon's hypothesis makes a lot of sense. If they dare to attack Rayquaza today, what about tomorrow?
But before Zhu Lan could continue thinking, she suddenly sensed something.

"No, Mammon, don't do this."

Zhu Lan pressed down on Mammon's hand and shook her head at him.

As long as it hasn't really come to the final step, she can still comfort herself with this, knowing that she hasn't wronged Cattleya.

But if she actually did it, how would she face Cattleya?

Seeing Zhu Lan's strong reaction, Mammon didn't press the matter further and hugged her tightly.

"Cynthia, join Team Rocket and stay with me."

Mammon's voice was soft, reaching the Sinnoh champion's ears gently.

"Mammon, you have a girlfriend."

Zhu Lan's fair hand gently stroked Mammon's cheek, her pretty face displaying an indescribable expression.

"The league doesn't stipulate that I can only marry one wife."

Zhu Lan was speechless. Indeed, but the alliance did not stipulate that a man could marry multiple wives, did it?
Zhu Lan felt helpless. She didn't know what was wrong with her, even though she knew it.

Gadria likes Mammon, the leader of Team Rocket, but now she has actually ended up in this kind of relationship with Mammon.

This is truly... a terrible tragedy.

"Even if you join Team Rocket, it won't stop you from becoming the Sinnoh Champion, will it?"

"But that's not appropriate."

Unlike before when Mammon invited her, Zhu Lan didn't refuse without hesitation this time; she actually hesitated a bit.

During this time, she witnessed the development and operation of the Rockets firsthand, and found that they were indeed fundamentally different from the rumored evil organization.

"Let me think about it some more, okay?"

"Row."
