Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 328 Xiao Guang: That was clearly my first encounter with Mr. Mammon!
Time comes the next day.

"Mammon, Mammon, I miss you~"

"Okay, okay, I miss you too."

Early in the morning, Mammon saw a voice message sent to him by a girl with a bun hairstyle.

That sweet, coquettish tone made Mammon shudder; it was just too much.

"Hmph~ How perfunctory. Mammon, have you arrived in Carlos yet?"

"Yes, come and see the Prism Tower, the iconic landmark of Miare City."

Mammon sent a picture with a smile.

"Wow! That's spectacular! I want to see it with my own eyes too! Mammon, Mammon~ When are we going to fight the evil organization in the Carlos region? There are no bad guys to fight here in the Unova region, it's so boring."

"You want to be the Unova champion, right? Prepare well for the Higaki Tournament, then do more special training."

Mammon couldn't help but find it a little funny.

"Do we have any champion-level trainers yet? Let me tell you, Hikari is almost a champion-level trainer now."

"Tch~ You look down on me. My Hydreigon and Serperior are already Champion-level, okay? My other main units will be soon too."

Mei pouted, clearly dissatisfied. She was determined to personally suppress even a mere little Hikaru!
"Hey, not bad." Mammon raised an eyebrow. It seemed that Mei had indeed not been slacking off and her strength had improved rapidly.

"The battle against the evil organization on Carlos's side will probably have to wait a while. This time it will definitely be more exciting than the Sinnoh one, so don't worry."

Mammon said with a smile.

"Yay! I'll be waiting, hehe~ Actually, I mainly miss you, Mammon. How about we video chat tonight?"

"We'll see. I'll talk to you later, I'm going to have breakfast."

Mammon was having a hard time; Mei was being far too proactive, and she was so good at it.

Last time, we talked about video chatting at night, and how did I say it? Those pajamas were so white... oops, I mean, those clothes were so big, no, that's not right either.

Anyway, she's both white and big, and I have to say, Mei is very generous.

After a brief chat with Mei, Mammon went to the villa's dining room to have breakfast.

If you don't see Cattleya, she's either still taking her beauty nap or giving her Pokémon special training in the backyard.

But it's already 10 o'clock, she should have gotten up on her own.

Caldelia is really hardworking; I often see her training.

“Mr. Mammon, Mr. Gladgio’s investigation has yielded results,” Prantina said to Mammon.

"Oh? Tell me."

Mammon took a sip of milk, while Jirachi, still half asleep, munched on his bread, his head bobbing up and down as if he might fall asleep at any moment.

Bictini kept a close eye on it to prevent the little star from bumping its head into Mammon's food bowl.

"According to a researcher from the Vladari Institute who was captured, Team Flare has been searching for a creature called the Zygarde Core, and they have already captured one and are currently studying it."

Prantina's pretty face looked rather serious.

"According to the myths and legends of the Kalos region, Zygarde is a legendary Pokémon of order, responsible for overseeing the ecosystem of the Kalos region, and is an extremely powerful legendary Pokémon."

"Team Flame is trying to control Zygarde!"

Without a doubt, that must be the case; otherwise, why would Team Flare target Zygarde's core?

"Well, what do you think, Xiao Guang?" Mammon nodded.

"I think Team Flare's purpose is definitely not simple; they must be carrying out a secret plan."

Prandina thought for a moment, but still couldn't figure out Team Flame's specific purpose, since she didn't know anything about Vladari.

According to the information, Vladali used to be a great philanthropist, and now he is a successful leader, though it is not obvious from the surface what he wants to do.

Yes, it's just that Vladali often talked about a beautiful and wonderful world, which is something that bothers me.

"Then let's continue the investigation. By the way, how did Gladion convince that researcher to reveal the information?"

Mammon didn't rush to tell Plantina the Flame Team's ultimate goal, otherwise, given Plantina's temperament, she would probably have rushed into the Flame Team and captured Vladari right now.

After all, Prantina was a kind girl.

"Hmm... It's said that Mr. Gladio had one of his subordinates use Arbok to intimidate the researcher."

Prantina's delicate face showed a hint of embarrassment, and she replied softly.

In fact, she asked Gladio the same question at the time. After all, those who could access the core Zygarde project must be high-level researchers at the Vladari Institute. How could they betray Vladari so easily?

But according to Gladio, he had his subordinates use Arbok to slowly swallow the researcher whole, then spit him out, then swallow him again, and so on.

This is absolutely insane!

They watched helplessly as the monster opened its gaping maw and slowly swallowed them whole; they could even feel the monster's internal mucous membranes through their skin.

Finally, the researcher, covered in stomach acid, vomited and begged for mercy, successfully turning him to defect.

Finally, Gladio tossed the researcher a bank card with a considerable amount of money in it and let him go home.

Well, all I can say is that Mr. Gladio knows how to win people over—simple and brutal.

But it works.

“It seems Gladio really does have some tricks up his sleeve now. I’m increasingly confident in his abilities,” Mammon remarked.

"Yes, having such a high-level researcher as an inside man is extremely beneficial for us in obtaining intelligence on Team Flare."

While the methods used to turn Gladio into a spy are difficult to assess, having such an undercover agent certainly makes things much easier.

"That's right. By the way, have you contacted Serena?"

“I’ve already contacted her. I knew Mr. Mammon would care a lot about Miss Serena, so I chatted with her for a while last night.” Prantina winked at Mammon sweetly, looking very cute.

“I’ve already made arrangements. She can show us around Miare City today, and then Mr. Mammon, you can try to recruit Miss Serena.”

"Actually, I still prefer a simpler approach. Her family lives in Asaka Town, right?"

Mammon pondered for a moment, then spoke from the heart.

Convincing Serena to join the Rockets will likely take a lot of effort, but there's a simpler and more practical way.

Serena, your mother is in Asaka Town, right? If you don't want anything to happen to her...

Although this method is somewhat shameless and evil, you have to admit that it is absolutely effective on good kids like Serena.

“Mr. Mammon, this will leave a very bad impression on Serena. Miss Serena is so cute and pretty.”

Upon seeing Mammon's expression and tone, Plantina was instantly reminded of very unpleasant memories and couldn't help but say to Mammon in a low voice.

It's one thing for me to do this once, but why do I have to do it to Serena too?

the most important is……

"Besides, this is at least my special way of getting to know Mr. Mammon. How could you use it on other girls again, Mr. Mammon?"

Well, ever since she accepted her Rockets identity, Prantina has always felt that her acquaintance with Mammon and her joining the Rockets were very special.

It left a very deep impression on me, so deep that even now, thinking back on it brings a smile to my face.

"Tsk~ Hikaru, can I take that as you being jealous?"

Mammon couldn't help but laugh, looking at Prantina with amusement.

Prandina felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, but she remained silent, expressing her attitude in this way.

"Since you put it that way, let's try a different approach. Our Rocket Team is a legitimate organization, right?"

Seeing this, Mammon changed his tune and smiled at Plantina.

It didn't matter to him; he never thought it would be particularly difficult for Lassalina to join the organization.

After all, Serena's personality is quite strong.

"Yeah~!"

Upon hearing this, Prantina was delighted, and her pure and delicate face blossomed into a big smile, her two large eyes narrowing into crescent moons.

She was happy and enjoyed Mammon's indirect pampering.

Mr. Mammon is so kind!
Mammon, on the other hand, began to contemplate the upcoming itinerary.

If he comes to Carlos, besides developing the Rockets, the most important thing is to make contact with Hoopa!
Punish Hoopa!

Punish Hoopa now lives in the Valley of Creation, and its current 'caretakers' are the siblings Balza and Mayali.

It will probably not be easy to subdue Punish Hoopa, after all, Punish Hoopa and the Balza siblings have a very deep bond, and now they can be said to be like family.

You can give it a try, but there's no need to force it.

As long as you can get along well with Hoopa and the Balza siblings, it will be fine. If you want Hoopa's help in the future, it will only take a word.

After all, Hoopa, as a Pokémon, is also very fond of excitement and battles.

The main reason is that Hoopa is just too useful. Its spatial ring allows it to go wherever it wants and can grab all sorts of things, even people and Pokémon. It's simply invincible.

Moreover, Hoopa's malice is a very interesting point, and one has to get involved.

Besides Hoopa, Mammon also likes Diancie, who is from the Carlos region. This little princess of the diamond mining country is cute and powerful, and worth recruiting.

However, there is currently no trace of Diancie; we need to find the location of the diamond mining country first.

After breakfast, they called out to Gadriya, who was undergoing special training, and the three of them went out together again.

However, not long after he went out, he ran into an acquaintance.

"Yo~ Miss Karuno, what a coincidence."

Mammon raised an eyebrow, looking at Karuno walking towards him from not far away.

Judging from the direction Karuno was heading, her destination seemed to be his villa, so there's no doubt that this was no coincidence.

It seems that Karuno came to find me on purpose.

"Mr. Mammon, how was your rest last night?"

Karuno asked with a smile and a gentle voice.

“Very good. Miss Karuno, is there something you need? Please speak frankly.”

"In that case, I'll get straight to the point."

Upon hearing this, Karuno silently took a breath.

“I know you are the leader of the Rockets, Mr. Mammon. I am here on behalf of the Carlos Alliance to express my opinion to you. As long as you can guarantee that you will not do anything too outrageous in Carlos, you can make your request.”

Karuno spoke earnestly to Mammon.

She thought about it for a long time last night and decided to give Mammon the utmost respect, since she really didn't have the confidence to negotiate with him.

“Oh? I’d like to know, what constitutes ‘too much’? And…”

Mammon's lips slowly curled into a smile as he looked sizing up the champion, Carlos, before him.

"I can ask for anything?"

If you put it that way, then this request has to be made.
