Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 312 Ho-Oh: Ash, you're finally here... Chao! Mammon, what are you doing here?
"Don't worry, Xiao Guang, since you trust me so much, I will never let you down."

Mammon smiled and assured Plantina.

"Yeah~!"

Prantina smiled beautifully; her delicate and pure face was captivating.

Although... the initial encounter was indeed not pleasant, and it could even be said that Plantina had many prejudices against Mammon personally.

After all, who wouldn't have preconceived notions about someone when their family is threatened?
Besides, the other party is the notorious leader of the Rockets.
But all Prantina wants to say now is that outsiders simply don't understand Mr. Mammon!

After the business was finished, the atmosphere in the room became quiet for a moment.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

As time passed, they were once again alone in the room with a man and a woman. Unconsciously, Prantina's delicate hands began to grip the hem of her dress more tightly.

"that……"

Looking at the handsome young man opposite her, Prantina felt her face burning up again.

"Xiao Guang, it's already 10:30, why aren't you leaving? Are you planning to sleep with me?"

Mammon glanced at the clock on the wall and couldn't help but say something quirky to Prantina.

"No...no, I'm sorry, goodnight Mr. Mammon."

Prandina blushed instantly, stood up, bowed nervously to Mammon, and quickly walked towards the door.

How could Mr. Mammon do this?!

Prantina was incredibly shy. What did he mean by sleeping with Mr. Mammon? Was that something a pure and innocent lady could say to someone like that?

"Good night, and remember to close the door behind you." Mammon chuckled.

"I understand."

After closing Mammon's door, Prantina immediately breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted her fairly well-developed chest.

She was so nervous, her heart was in her throat. It was so embarrassing.

And now that I think about it, I was incredibly bold to sneak into a man's room alone in the middle of the night and stay there for so long.

It's also thanks to Mr. Mammon having a bottom line.

After calming herself down, Prantina walked towards her room with a slightly more cheerful pace.

But in any case, she finally got a satisfactory answer, which made Plantina much more relaxed.

However, what Prantina didn't notice was that after she left, in a room with a slightly ajar door, an eye was watching her retreating figure.

Hmm, it doesn't seem like they stole the food, so you can rest assured.

……

The next day arrived in the afternoon.

Shinji went out on a mission, while Mammon, Cattleya, and Plantina wandered around Viridian City.

Of course, the main reason was that Mammon was taking the two girls sightseeing, since Viridian City was Mammon's hometown.

"Mammon, Mammon! We did it!"

On the outskirts of Viridian Forest, Ash excitedly ran over and shouted to Mammon.

"We caught those four traitors! Pikachu easily defeated them and retrieved all the loot and Pokémon they stole!"

"Pika~chu!"

Ash was very excited, and the electric mouse on Ash's shoulder echoed him cheerfully and proudly.

"Really? Well done, Ash. I knew you guys could do it."

Mammon was not surprised and praised him with a smile.

"Hehe~ Are there any other missions like this, Mammon? Leave them all to me!"

Ash felt a little addicted to this kind of good deed! This was exactly what he should be doing after becoming a powerful trainer.

"Hey, Ash, don't be so arrogant," Misty said, speechless.

"If Apollo hadn't provided such detailed information, we wouldn't have been able to complete it so easily."

It may seem like they completed the mission easily, but the main reason was that Apollo provided very detailed information about the whereabouts of these Rocket Team traitors.

We've ensured that this most difficult part is done well.

Then all they need to do is get to the location, fight and capture the fugitive, which is naturally very efficient.

"As for tasks, you can just browse the task list more often and take on any suitable ones."

Mammon said with a smile.

"By the way, Ash, you probably have something important to do, right?" Mammon looked at Ash.

"?" Ash replied with a question mark, somewhat bewildered.

"Don't forget, you're the trainer that Ho-Oh has taken a liking to."

Mammon waved his hand at Ash, and in his hand was a rainbow feather that shimmered with iridescent light.

"Rainbow Feathers? Mammon, do you have one too?"

Xiao Gang looked at Mammon in astonishment. Wait, Mammon could be favored by Ho-Oh? That doesn't make sense.

Wait a minute, speaking of which, Mammon used Suicune when he battled Ash last time. So, Mammon really is someone favored by Ho-Oh.

"Ah~ My relationship with Ho-Oh is quite good. We went through some unforgettable battles together and are very good comrades-in-arms."

Mammon exclaimed without even blinking.

Yes, Mammon genuinely believes that Ho-Oh, this giant turkey, is still a very useful tank.

Besides, although Ho-Oh often contradicts him, it's just talk; when it's really needed, Ho-Oh truly steps up.

"Huh? That's great, I haven't seen Ho-Oh in so long."

Ash also took out his Rainbow Wing, Ho-Oh, which he hadn't seen since he first left Pallet Town.

So Ash was chosen by Ho-Oh?
Plantina looked curiously at the Rainbow Wing in Ash's hand—the legendary Ho-Oh of Kanto!
Plantina had also heard that those who see Ho-Oh are said to be blessed with eternal happiness, though she didn't know if it was true.

"You'll need to actively seek it out. Ho-Oh is a legendary Pokémon, after all; it can't just keep appearing in front of you on its own."

Mammon said to Ash, "After all, Ho-Oh also has its pride, doesn't it?"
"But I don't know where to find Ho-Oh!"

Xiao Zhi scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled, and spoke.

"I know, Ash. I'll take you to find Ho-Oh." Mammon's lips slowly curled into a smile. "Huh? Really?" Ash's eyes lit up.

“That’s right. If you’re lucky, you might even be able to tame Ho-Oh,” Mammon replied matter-of-factly.

Ash was overjoyed. If he could catch the legendary Ho-Oh, his strength would definitely increase dramatically!

At that time, punching the expressionless Shinji and kicking his own brother Akane will no longer be a dream!
Xiaoxia and Xiaogang exchanged a glance, both feeling that Mammon probably wasn't that kind-hearted.

"Mammon, do you know where Ho-Oh is?"

"I don't know that, but I do know where you can summon Ho-Oh. Whether you can capture Ho-Oh or not depends on your own abilities, Ash."

What Mammon was referring to was, of course, the Azure Mountain at the end of the rainbow.

Tianqingshan is located at the highest peak of the Yunying Mountains and is also the end of the rainbow. Any brave warrior who comes here with the Rainbow Feather can summon the Phoenix King through the Rainbow Feather.

In the movie "I Choose You," Ash summoned Ho-Oh in this way and used Pikachu to battle it.

The outcome is unknown, but what is known is that Ash must have had a great time in the battle.

"I want to go! Mammon!"

Ash made his decision without hesitation: Ho-Oh! He really wanted to see Ho-Oh again.

Just like the promise he made to Pikachu when they first left Pallet Town.

'One day, we'll go and meet that guy!'

Now, Ash feels the time is right!

“Alright, I haven’t seen Ho-Oh for a while either. I’ll take you there.”

"Great!"

Xiao Zhi was very happy.

"But Mammon, are you really that free? As the leader, you should be very busy."

Then Ash blinked and asked in confusion.

"Ha~ I'm the boss of Team Rocket, so I can manage my own time, Ash."

If the person asking this question wasn't Ash, Mammon would have thought it was a test, but it didn't really matter.

"And I'm not afraid to tell you, Ash, I've got my eye on a Pokémon, but it would be best to catch it after you meet Ho-Oh."

Mammon replied bluntly.

"Oh, I see. What kind of Pokémon is it?" Ash exclaimed in surprise.

"You'll find out when the time comes. Let's not delay, let's set off."

Mammon plans to take Ash to quickly clear the Ho-Oh dungeon.

"Okay!"

Ash's fighting spirit is very strong.

When no one was paying attention, Ash's two empty orange pupils in his shadow were filled with a blank look.

It's over!
Because he had already done his research long ago, Mammon was no stranger to the location of the Yunying Mountains.

Riding on Pokémon with the ability to fly, Mammon and the others arrived at the peak of Mt. Azumi at 4 p.m.

"When rainbow flowers bloom on the rainbow rock, Ho-Oh will descend."

After everyone landed, Mammon looked at the huge rock not far away and spoke.

"Ash, put your Rainbow Wing on it and summon Ho-Oh."

"okay!"

Ash trusted Mammon completely, and being extremely agile, he ran to the base of the Rainbow Rock and nimbly climbed upwards.

They reached the top of Rainbow Rock without much trouble and placed the Rainbow Feather there.

Ash immediately stepped back and returned to the group.

Rainbow Feathers hovered atop Rainbow Rock, causing the entire Rainbow Rock to shimmer with dazzling rainbow light.

Once the enormous beam of light shot straight into the sky, it dispersed the layers of clouds, revealing the azure sky.

A beautiful rainbow begins at the Rainbow Rock and spreads rapidly into the distance.

“So beautiful~”

Prandina exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, clasping her hands to her chest as she gazed at the beautiful rainbow.

Orange pupils lit up from Ash's shadow, which flowed and distorted, gradually forming a small, humanoid, black Pokémon.

This is the legendary mythical Pokémon Marshadow, also known as the 'Shadow Guide'.

But at this moment, Marshall fell into deep thought. What was it guiding him to?

Lord Ho-Oh won't blame it, will he? Probably not. Anyway, the person has arrived, hasn't he?
Just then, Marshado suddenly felt a chill run through its body. It abruptly turned its head and saw Mammon's grinning face.

Marcia swallowed hard and instinctively took several steps back. She felt that this human seemed... strange. Why did it feel like he was coming for her?

Marshadow was timid to begin with, and the malevolent look in the eyes of this human carrying Suicune made him really want to run away.

"Chirp~!"

Just then, a high-pitched and melodious cry came from afar.

A bird-shaped Pokémon, its body shimmering with golden and iridescent light, appeared and flew in from the rainbow.

"Ho-Oh! It's Ho-Oh!"

"Oh my god! I actually met the legendary Ho-Oh."

"It's so beautiful!"

Ash and his friends were incredibly excited, and Plantina was also overjoyed. It was Ho-Oh, the legendary creature that could bring happiness to people!
The Phoenix King Bird, which was getting closer and closer, also had a human-like smile on its face, and it was in a very good mood.

Because it valued humans who had been given rainbow feathers, it finally passed the test of the Ho-Oh Guard and arrived here under the guidance of Marshadow.

What does this mean?
This proves that its judgment was correct!
Indeed, only pure humanity can bring a bright future to this world.

but……

As Ho-Oh flew above Ash and the others, preparing to circle around and show off its beautiful form, its eyes suddenly narrowed, almost popping out of its head.

Because it saw the boy below, smiling and holding the trembling Martha.

Hey! What's that troublemaker doing here?!
Damn it! That's my Marcia!
Why are you hugging it, you scoundrel? And Marshall, how can you be so spineless? If he wants to hug it, just let him!
