Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 309 Ash: Team Rocket is a righteous organization!

What the hell? You're still in your developmental stage? You're probably older than me by a fraction of your age, right?
Mammon was speechless, only able to say that this pink cat's skin was getting thicker and thicker.

But it's alright, having such a childlike heart is quite nice.

"It seems you've been doing well lately, so I'm relieved."

Mammon had only wanted to check on the recent situation of Regigigas and Dream.

"Dream, you should mind your own business. After all, you are the master of the World Tree. Don't just dump everything on Regigigas."

"Mmm~ I know, Mimi~ I'm very responsible."

Dream patted her chest and made a promise.

"?"

Mammon looked skeptical, but seeing that Regigigas hadn't said anything, he decided to leave it at that for now.

Then Mammon asked Dream for a copy of the Flower of Time from inside the World Tree.

The Flower of Time can record and preserve past scenes, and once it is activated again, one can see the recorded past.

According to the movie, Aaron's true feelings were recorded by the Time Flower inside the World Tree.

Such a small matter is nothing, of course. Dream happily went in and brought out the Flower of Time.

Mammon returned to Ash and his friends with the Flower of Time.

"Ash, let that Lucario out."

"Okay, Lucario."

Although Ash didn't know why, he still released Lucario from Ordron Castle.

Unlike the original work, Lucario and Ash seem to be much closer here compared to the movie, but Lucario's unresolved issue is still Aaron from hundreds of years ago.

The Flower of Time is awakened and blooms, and Alan's self-narration inside the World Tree at the moment of his death is presented.

Lucario's eyes were blurry with tears, while Ash, who was very empathetic, was also deeply moved.

Afterwards, Ash had a heart-to-heart talk with Lucario, and Lucario resolved its inner conflict and accepted Ash's invitation to become his partner.

"Congratulations, Ash, you've gained another great general."

Mammon clapped and congratulated Ash, saying, "This result is really good."

"Ha! With Lucario, I'm sure I'll win the Indigo League this year!" Ash was also full of fighting spirit and excitement.

"Pikachu~ Pikachu~!"

Electric Mouse was also very confident, clenching its little fists in a cute way.

"Hehehe..."

Shinji chuckled coldly twice.

"What do you mean by this?!"

Ash was immediately annoyed.

"If even a half-baked trainer like you can win the championship, then your Indigo League really has no one left."

Shinji said calmly.

"Huh?! You arrogant guy, you actually called me a half-baked trainer?" Ash was furious.

Who is this person? They just beat me once, how dare they be so arrogant!
"Isn't that right?" Shinji asked, his hands in his pockets, still looking calm and collected. He even countered with a question.

"The commander was incompetent, lacked any tactics, and relied solely on enthusiasm, failing to even utilize the Pokémon's inherent strengths in battle."

"A third-rate trainer and a fourth-rate Pokémon, what a waste of your talent."

Shinji offered his judgment without any hesitation.

Without a doubt, Ash's talent as a trainer is quite remarkable. After all, Shinji can assert that Ash doesn't usually do special training.

Even so, Ash's strength is still very high.

It’s obvious.

"Damn it!! Who are you calling a third-rate trainer and a fourth-rate Pokémon?! I challenge you to a duel!!"

Ash's face turned red with anger, and he rolled up his sleeves, ready to have a real man's duel with Shinji.

"Calm down, calm down, Xiao Zhi!"

"That's right, don't be impulsive! Impulsiveness is the devil!"

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang quickly pulled Xiaozhi back, afraid that he might really lose his temper.

"Don't stop me! Damn it, this expressionless guy is going too far! He only beat me once!"

Ash wouldn't give up. This annoying, expressionless guy not only talked about himself, but he also talked about his Pokémon.

How can you bear this!

"Hmm... Shinji, aren't you going a bit too far? We're colleagues now."

Plantina thought for a moment and whispered to Shinji.

Furthermore, she felt that Shinji's attitude towards Ash was a bit strange. Shinji is usually a very rational person, so why does he like to mock Ash so much?
"Why don't you apologize to Ash?"

Even Plantina felt that Shinji's words had gone too far.

"I reject."

Shinji turned his head away, remained silent for a while, and then spoke again.

"I can't stand people who waste their talent like this, those guys who just talk about bonds and friendship. Do they think shouting those things will make them stronger?"

Plantina smiled awkwardly at Ash and his friends. No matter what, she was definitely closer to Shinji.

Furthermore, Plantina knew that although Shinji was a bit strict at times, he wasn't a bad person at heart.

"I'm sorry, Shinji didn't mean it. That's just his personality. Ash, don't worry about it."

Plantina said to Ash.

Ash was panting heavily, clenching his fists and staring intently at Shinji.

"We're all colleagues, so please don't create conflict like this."

Mammon finally spoke, smiling as he tried to smooth things over.

"In the end, it all comes down to strength when it comes to trainers. How about this, Ash and Paul, have another match at the end of the year?"

"If Ash can defeat Shinji then, Shinji, you should apologize to Ash for your inappropriate words today."

“If Ash is still no match for Shinji…” Mammon looked at Ash.

"I will never lose to him again!! Absolutely not!" Ash said with unwavering determination.

He can lose to anyone, but he absolutely refuses to lose to this expressionless face again!

Shinji glanced at Ash but didn't say anything.

"Fine, you can handle your own affairs." Mammon shrugged.

"By the way, I just saw a message. How about the three of you, Xiaozhi, go and make the trip?"

Mammon glanced at his phone and said to Ash.

"what?"

"It's from Viridian City. There are a few traitors who not only betrayed the organization, but also robbed a family on the outskirts of Viridian City of their money and a child's Pokémon. Tsk~"

Mammon was still smiling, but anyone could see that the smile was devoid of warmth.

"What? That's too much!" Ash exclaimed angrily.

"A traitor to the Rockets?" Xiao Gang frowned.

"Well, the organization has only recently undergone reforms, and many old-timers are unwilling to adapt to the new Team Rocket's rules, so there's nothing that can be done about it."

Mammon nodded. Many former Team Rocket members had become accustomed to their unbridled lives, and now that they were suddenly required not to do evil, their true nature had to be suppressed.

It's normal for some people to betray the organization because they can't stand such constraints.

“Those are inherently evil villains! Leave them to us, Mammon, we'll capture them!”

Ash agreed without hesitation and assured Mammon.

"Okay, I'll give you Apollo's contact information, who's in charge of this. You can contact Apollo to get information on those traitors, and once they're caught, just contact Apollo and have him send someone over to take over."

Mammon said with a smile.

Apollo?

Ash scratched his head when he heard the name. He did have some impression of Apollo, a high-ranking member of Team Rocket. Apollo was the leader of Team Rocket when he was on the Santo Anno.

I never imagined that one day I would be working with Apollo. The changes in this world are just... too outrageous.

However, it seems that Apollo has reformed, which is a good thing.

"Okay," Xiao Zhi replied.

"The Rockets have changed now, and we have to take strong action against those who are still ruining the team's reputation."

"Xiao Zhi, I'm leaving this to you. Make sure you catch them, and also give some compensation to the family that was harmed by these scumbags. After all, those bastards ran away from our organization."

Mammon continued to speak to Ash.

"As for the compensation amount, the organization will allocate it to you."

"Alright! Leave it to me, Mammon! I will definitely catch those traitors!"

Ash was filled with excitement, his eyes sparkling. He loved this kind of chivalrous act!

"By the way, if a trainer like you joins the organization, the organization will reward you with an excellent Ultra Beast."

Mammon patted Ash on the shoulder, then took out his phone and went to the Ultra Beasts sequence.

"Huh? No, not this one..." Xiao Zhi was taken aback, and then quickly prepared to refuse.

"Don't refuse. This is a benefit of the organization, and it's also the organization's recognition of your potential. Shinji and the others have it too."

"Yes, Ash, Ultra Beasts are really great Pokémon. If you want to defeat Shinji in the future, Ultra Beasts will definitely be a great help."

Prantina chimed in from the side.

"That's right, Ash, take a look." Misty thought it made a lot of sense; Ultra Beasts sound like very powerful Pokémon.

Xiao Gang was speechless; he felt that Xiao Xia had been 'bought off'.

"Emmm... okay."

Ash scratched his head. To be honest, he was also very interested in Ultra Beasts. If he remembered correctly, the Buzzwole that Shinji used before was one of the Ultra Beasts, right?
"Come and see."

Ash poked his head over, and there were Nihilego, Buzzwole, Pheromosa, and Electabuzz...

Wow! This pheromone is so beautiful!

Xiaoxia couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Judging from the pictures in the encyclopedia alone, Pheromosa is indeed beautiful.

"Not only is she beautiful, but she's also very strong." Plantina smiled sweetly.

Yes, she really likes her pheromones.

Xiaoxia's eyes lit up with hearts. Although Pheromosa didn't have the Water type and was even a Bug type, which she disliked, its appearance was just too gorgeous!

"I don't have any particular feelings about pheromones."

Ash didn't quite get along with Pheromosa and scratched his head in distress.

"I actually quite like this."

Ash pointed to Poipole and Naganadel, Naganadel being the evolved form of Poipole.

"Should we go with Poison Baby? Or the already evolved Jawless Needle Dragon?"

Mammon chuckled softly. Sure enough, Ash still chose Naganadel.

After all, Naganadel was one of Ash's main champions in the Sun and Moon series, which shows that Ash really has a soft spot for Naganadel.

"Poisoned Baby, I'd rather raise it myself." Ash touched his nose a little embarrassedly.

Ash was still a little shy about getting a talented Pokémon for free.

“Okay, wait a moment.” Mammon made a phone call to Lusamine.

Most of the Ultra Beasts are kept at the Aether Paradise.

"Ash, don't be embarrassed. If you feel unworthy, then take Poison Baby to fight against evil forces and work together with the organization for a clear and blue tomorrow."

Mammon patted Ash on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"I understand!"

Xiao Zhi took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.

No wonder Lady Rika is with Mammon; Mammon is definitely not a bad person after all!
Mammon is the one who fundamentally changed Team Rocket. His ideal is to eliminate all other evil organizations. How could he be a bad guy?
Ash swears! He will work together with Mammon to fight against evil forces! Team Rocket is the voice of justice!
