Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 307 Ash Ketchum of Team Rocket! Here I come!

After the battle ended, Mammon slowly walked into the arena.

"Well done, you've improved a lot, Shinji. I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Mammon praised Shinji.

Shinji bowed slightly to Mammon without saying anything; he was still very grateful to Mammon for recognizing his talent.

It allowed him to see a wider world and provided him with a better environment to grow up in.

"Ash, you lost."

Mammon looked at Ash and smiled teasingly.

"..."

Ash, holding his newly awakened Pikachu, didn't look too pleased upon hearing this, but he didn't argue back.

Although he was extremely unhappy at the moment, a loss is a loss, and he had indeed just been defeated by Shinji.

Xiao Zhi wasn't someone who couldn't accept defeat; the main reason was that losing to this foul-mouthed guy made him really unwilling to accept it.

"According to the agreement, you owe me something now, right?"

"...Yes, but I won't do anything bad."

Ash nodded with difficulty, but then immediately added.

"Ash, that's not right of you. Can you please stop looking at our new Team Rocket with outdated perspectives?"

Mammon raised an eyebrow.

Ash and his two friends remained silent.

"I've already taken down the original evil leader of Team Rocket. I'm the current boss of Team Rocket. I'm not some low-level villain."

Mammon spoke casually.

So, doesn't this mean you haven't completely denied that you're a villain?
Xiaoxia couldn't help but think to herself, "And Mammon, who was able to take down the former leader of Team Rocket, is more dangerous no matter how you look at it, right?"

Do you know how many years the Rockets have been entrenched in the Kanto region? The Rockets are vicious and wicked, and the Kanto League has been trying to wipe them out for a long time.

But there has been no effective progress, and the mysterious leader of Team Rocket can be called the 'source of darkness,' the source of all evil.

However, that Rockets team was defeated by Mammon.

"Are you saying that Team Rocket isn't an evil organization anymore?" Brock couldn't help but ask.

“You’d believe me if I said no?” Mammon retorted.

Xiao Gang remained silent.

"Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain, and no matter how I proclaim it to the outside world, it will ultimately have no effect."

Mammon remarked.

Ash scratched his head. How should I put it? He actually felt a little sorry for Mammon.
Perhaps it is just as Mammon said, the impressions of the past are too deep, and people will subconsciously think that the organization that still carries the name of 'Team Rocket' is still the same evil Team Rocket from before.

But Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia were not so easily 'bewitched' by Mammon's words.

He certainly sounded very aggrieved, but is that right?

Mammon's arrogant demeanor, dominating the Golden Broadcasting Tower and announcing his presence everywhere, is no one forcing him to do it with a knife, is it?
Such people……

The contrast between that and how Mammon is behaving now is too great.

Which one is the real Mammon?

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia are indistinguishable, but in any case, it's right to start by questioning them!
"So what exactly do you want Ash to do?"

Brock changed the subject. He and Ash were good travel companions, but in a way, Brock also occasionally regarded Ash and Misty as his younger brother and sister.

He couldn't just watch Ash get tricked by Mammon.

"Team Rocket's goal is actually very simple: to eliminate all other dark organizations and forces, including the Hunters. This world doesn't need these trash."

Instead of giving a direct answer, Mammon shared some of the Rockets' philosophy.

"This is a good thing," Xiao Zhi thought, finding it very reasonable.

Both the evil organizations and the hunter organizations are the most malignant of all!

"Yes, you think so too, right? Ash, I knew my opinion of you was right. You really are a very righteous person."

Mammon smiled, a very sunny smile.

Xiao Zhi touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly.

Gadria and the other two stood behind Mammon, and even Plantina looked at Ash with a strange expression.

"Stop!" Xiao Gang quickly stepped forward to interrupt, patting Xiao Zhi on the back to signal him to wake up.

"Mammon, what exactly do you mean?" Xiao Gang repeated the question.

"If we want to eliminate these dark organizations, we need more like-minded partners so that we can restore a bright and peaceful world!"

"Only then can the sky of this world remain clear and blue!"

"Only then can people living in this world always wear happy smiles."

Mammon's words were passionate and inflammatory.

At least Xiao Zhi was very excited at the moment, nodding repeatedly as he listened. Yes, this was exactly what he wanted!
It would be so much better if this world didn't have those evil organizations!
"Ash! For the sake of this world, would you like to join us?"

"I want to... *sobs*"

In his excited state, Xiaozhi almost agreed without thinking.

"Stop!"

Xiaoxia immediately grabbed Xiaozhi by the neck and covered his mouth. Xiaozhi's tired electric mouse was innocently caught in the crossfire and fell to the ground, letting out a wail.

"Hey, what are you doing, Xia!"

Xiao Zhi quickly broke free and lovingly picked up Electric Mouse.

"What are you talking about? You can't just say that like that, you idiot!"

Xiaoxia punched Xiaozhi on the head, speaking with exasperation at his lack of ambition.

“That’s right, Ash, don’t just believe his side of the story,” Brock said in a deep voice.

Mammon raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but click his tongue softly.

If it weren't for Misty and Brock, Mammon would have been very confident that he could have completely fooled Ash, this simple-minded and hot-blooded guy.

After all, shouting slogans is all too easy.

The problem is, Xiaogang and Xiaoxia are still quite rational.

Pity.

"Huh? But..." Xiaozhi really felt that Mammon's words made a lot of sense and were very sincere. "Exactly, does whatever he says really mean it? Are you stupid?" Xiaoxia couldn't hold back anymore.

"And didn't you notice? He's been talking about other evil organizations the whole time, but what about his own Team Rocket?"

Xiaoxia noticed this, her gaze unusually sharp.

Xiao Zhi was taken aback when he heard this.

"If I'm not mistaken, your goal is to eliminate and absorb other evil organizations, thereby expanding your Team Rocket and making Team Rocket the dominant force in all regions, right?"

Xiao Gang added in a deep voice.

The three of them stared at Mammon. Mammon narrowed his eyes slightly, and then a big smile gradually appeared on his face.

Pa~pa~pa~
He raised his hand and clapped for Xiaogang and Xiaoxia.

"That's well said. No wonder they were gym trainers before; they're all promising talents."

Mammon smiled and praised, showing no shame or annoyance at being exposed.

It must be said that although Xiaogang and Xiaoxia are not particularly talented, they are indeed very reliable.

Furthermore, saying that their trainer talents are not outstanding depends on who they are compared to. In reality, their talents are considered exceptional among ordinary people.

"You don't deny it?" Xia was stunned.

"Why should I deny it?" Mammon asked, tilting his head in feigned surprise.

"Does what you're saying contradict what I've already said?"

Indeed, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang guessed his true purpose, but so what?

"We eliminate those evil organizations and then manage their territory, preventing the world from becoming a breeding ground for more darkness."

Mammon looked at the three of them.

"Gentlemen, whether it's action justice or outcome justice, it's still justice, it's the 'justice' of our Rockets team. Is there a problem with that?"

Actions that are justified refer to the legitimacy of an action, and their actions in eliminating the evil organization are undoubtedly just.

Although the members of the evil organization will not be handed over to the League after the organization is destroyed, Mammon will absorb them all into Team Rocket for 'remodeling'.

If there are really stubborn people, send them to mine. Although it's a bit extreme, it's still a way of dealing with criminals for society, right?

Outcome justice is justice regardless of the means used, as long as the expected result is achieved.

For Mammon, both actions and results are correct.

"This……"

Xiaoxia's brain went blank.

Is this right? It seems wrong, but then again, it seems right.

Is that right or wrong?

"Xiao Zhi, I sincerely invite you to join us and work with us to punish those dark organizations. Are you willing?"

Mammon extended a sincere invitation to Ash.

"Ah I……"

Ash wasn't as excited this time, even though he felt that what Mammon said seemed to make sense.

But joining the Rockets just feels so strange.

Should I refuse? It feels a bit of a pity, because fighting evil organizations is something Xiaozhi is really looking forward to.

"Ash, isn't your goal to become a Pokémon Master?" Brock reminded Ash after a moment of silence.

Although he didn't know how to refute Mammon's words for a moment, Xiao Gang still felt that the Rockets were not very trustworthy.

In short, start by questioning!

"Oh right, my dream is to be a Pokémon Master, Mammon, I can't join your organization."

Ash suddenly remembered that becoming a Pokémon Master was his childhood dream, and it was something he absolutely could not give up.

"Actually, it won't delay anything. In fact, there are many excellent trainers of your age in the organization. Exchanging ideas and improving with each other will actually be very beneficial for you to become stronger."

Mammon chuckled, then pondered for a moment.

"In short, I still admire you very much, Ash, but you and your companions must have a lot of concerns."

"In that case, why don't you sign a temporary contract and become temporary members of our organization? There will be no restrictions on you, and you can also participate when the organization has activities to combat evil organizations and hunter organizations. What do you say?"

Mammon asked Ash and his two friends.

"Temporary member?"

Xiaogang and Xiaoxia exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.

"Yes, what you're worried about is that I'm deceiving you, isn't it? Then become a temporary member. Firstly, it will make it easier for you to understand most of the organization's usual activities, and secondly, you can participate in some activities and experience it."

Mammon smiled.

"Is this alright? There are no restrictions on you, and there won't be any mandatory content."

"In that case...can we give it a try?"

Xiaoxia hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked Xiaozhi.

"it is good!"

Xiao Zhi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

then……

Wow!! These Pokémon can be redeemed?

"Is this forum so lively? There are so many people here, including those from Unova and Hoenn."

"So many props..."

"I'd like to take this mission. A Nidoking Overlord on Mount Tsukimi attacked and injured three passersby. Investigate the cause of its rampage and capture and subdue it if necessary."

Xiao Zhi and his two friends looked at the organization app on their respective phones, exclaiming in surprise one after another.

Clearly, they learned something new.

Moreover, the atmosphere felt completely different from what I had imagined. There were many posts on the forum discussing Pokémon training, complaining about quests, and sharing daily life experiences.

There are even many short videos of interacting with Pokémon. (Blueberry Academy students made a great contribution)
Is this really an app organized by the Rockets?
That's right, Mammon also took the opportunity to get Xiaoxia and Xiaogang to sign a contract as well, since they both have potential.

Hmph~ Hahaha~

Seeing Ash's excited and enthusiastic expression, Mammon couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

They finally convinced them to come in!
Ash Ketchum of Team Rocket, reporting for duty!!
Mammon couldn't even imagine what Red's expression would be when he found out that his younger brother Ash had joined Team Rocket.

It’s exciting just thinking about it!
