Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 329 Demon Mammon, Sagaru, what are you going to do?

"I can ask for anything?"

Mammon looked Karuno up and down, grinned, and asked, his smile and eyes both quite sinister.

This change immediately caught Karuno's attention.

After all, besides being the Carlos League champion, she is also a very famous actress, and she is always extremely sensitive to changes in the expressions of those around her.

“Mr. Mammon, I am here to communicate with you in good faith. As long as your request is not excessive, we are willing to accept it.”

Karuno silently took a step back and said earnestly to Mammon.

As an actress, Karunoko is not a clueless little girl.

After all, the world is indeed a better place, but there are also people who are greedy and lustful. In the entertainment industry, there are quite a few people who are 'lustful'.

However, Prantina was unaware of this; she wore a rather proud smile at the moment.

Look! That's the power of Mr. Mammon!

Even the Carlos Alliance would have to send their champion, Caroline, to come and negotiate!

Mr. Mammon is truly amazing! I wonder if I'll ever have that kind of intimidating power in the future?
The eldest daughter of the Bellizzi family couldn't help but have such thoughts and aspirations: to be able to intimidate the entire regional alliance with just one name.

That's so cool!

"That's natural, and I believe in your sincerity."

Mammon narrowed his eyes slightly, and after noticing Karuno's actions, the corners of his lips curved into a wider smile.

“Miss Karen, there’s no need to be so nervous. Team Rocket is a legitimate organization. However, since you are so sincere, I do have a small request.”

Mammon spoke slowly and leisurely, as if taking his time.

In fact, as he himself said, as long as the Carlos Alliance doesn't do anything stupid to cause him trouble, Mammon really doesn't bother targeting the Carlos Alliance.

After all, in Mammon's view, given the current size of his Rockets, it would be rather petty of him to specifically seek out the Carlos League.

It's unnecessary, really unnecessary, and there's nothing fun about it.

In Mammon's eyes, the only one in the entire Carlos Alliance he could mess with was Karuno.

"Please tell me."

Upon hearing this, Karuno breathed a sigh of relief. That's good, that's good!

"Well, I have a bad habit. I'm used to being pampered and my biological clock is pretty bad, so I actually need a maid to take care of me."

Mammon's smile seemed particularly glaring at that moment, causing Karuno's smile to freeze on her face.

What does this mean?
Eh?
Upon hearing this, Cattleya and Plantina reacted differently.

Prandina looked at Mammon's profile with a somewhat bewildered and confused expression.

Calderia looked Karuno up and down expressionlessly, then gave a barely perceptible sneer of disdain.

She's just an old woman.

As for the matter of Mammon's maid, Cattleya didn't take it to heart. Well, after all, Mammon always does this when he goes to a new region.

Rika from Kanto, Flamebe from Hoenn, Chrysanthemum from Unova, and Cynthia from Sinnoh.

Although, apart from Zhu Lan, the other three all started by serving Mammon's daily needs and gradually rose to the point of being served in Mammon's bed, they were shameless.

But it's all for naught?

None of them are competitive; they're just for Mammon to play with.

As for this Karuno, whether she agrees or not, Cattleya doesn't think much of her.

Ultimately, she's just an ordinary old woman, only her celebrity status and regional champion title give her an edge.

Mammon hadn't played this type of game before, which is why he was only slightly interested in her.

"Mr. Mammon, do you mean I should find you a professional maid?"

Karuno still tried to struggle, even though she roughly understood what Mammon meant, Karuno was unwilling!
She! The champion of the Carlos region! The most famous female star in the Carlos region, and even a very famous female star in the world.

To be Mammon's maid?

And most importantly, does Mammon actually want a maid? He's blatantly lusting after me!

Karuno really didn't want to!!

"Does Miss Karuno think I'd be short of money to hire maids? It seems Miss Karuno isn't very sincere."

Mammon looked at Karuno with a half-smile.

I'm not even going to act!
Karuno was caught in a dilemma, her eyes darting around. What should she do?
Agree to Mammon's offer? Isn't that like sending a lamb to the slaughter? I'm afraid that if I go through today, Mammon will strip me naked and pin me to the bed tonight.

But you won't agree?

What if Mammon gets angry and embarrassed?
I shouldn't have come by myself! I should have just had Pachira come instead.
While Karuno was hesitating.

"Miss Karuno!!"

A young, surprised female voice came from not far away.

As the sound of boots hitting the ground rang out, a tall woman with a curvaceous figure ran over.

Mammon looked in the direction of the sound and recognized it.

She wore a pair of tight jeans that accentuated her long, shapely legs, a black leather belt around her waist, and a black and red fitted long-necked coat that perfectly showcased her slender waist.

It was Pansy, a well-known journalist from Miare Publishing.

"Miss Pansy".

Karuno was somewhat surprised.

"I saw you from afar, Miss Karuno. I didn't expect to meet you here. I'm so lucky."

Pansy's fair and pretty face had a kind smile. For a reporter like her, being able to meet a star champion like Karuno was undoubtedly a very lucky thing.

"It is indeed a coincidence." Karuno had met Pansy a few times and had a certain fondness for this beautiful reporter.

"These people? This young lady is the trainer who defeated Serena yesterday, right?"

Pansy, being a reporter, was clearly a socially awkward person. She looked at Mammon and the others with a poised and confident demeanor, before her gaze fell on Plantina, her eyes brightening slightly.

"?" Prantina looked at the pansy strangely, wondering how the pansy knew.

"Someone posted your battle video on the forum yesterday, although that person probably meant to film Ms. Karuno."

The pansy revealed the reason.

"You're really amazing, beautiful lady, to be able to defeat Serena." Pansy clearly had a good relationship with Serena and was aware of Serena's strength.

"Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Pansy, and I'm a journalist."

The talkative Pansy flashed an infectious smile and introduced herself to Mammon and the other two.

Seeing that Pansy seemed to want to chat familiarly with Mammon and the other two, Karuno didn't know what to say for a moment.

However, Pansy has always been like this, and it's not surprising that she doesn't know the identities of Mammon and his companions. But we still need to find a way to get Pansy away, since Mammon and his group are not good people, and having more contact with Mammon won't do Pansy any good.

“I know her. She’s the star reporter for Luna Publishing and also Violet’s sister, the gym leader of Sandalwood City.”

Mammon's lips curled up slightly.

"Huh? This handsome guy knows me quite well." Pansy looked at Mammon curiously.

"After all, it's rare to see such capable and beautiful sisters as Miss Pansy."

Mammon glanced at Karuno, smiled slowly, and spoke with a hidden meaning.

Karuno felt a chill run down her spine.

"Ha~ Handsome, you really know how to talk. You must be from out of town. Would you be interested in being interviewed by me?"

Pansy laughed heartily, showing interest in Mammon and his companions.

Although none of the three Mammons were famous, their demeanor suggested they were no ordinary people.

Especially since this blue-haired girl defeated Serena yesterday, Pansy is very curious.

Others may not know, but Violet does. Serena is an incredibly skilled trainer. So far, all eight Gym Leaders in Kalos have been defeated by Serena with relative ease.

Even the Four Heavenly Kings of Carlos might not be a match for Serena, and Serena is just a newcomer!

"Is this appropriate? We are just ordinary people. Even if we accept your interview, Ms. Pansy, it probably won't bring any traffic to your publishing house."

Mammon feigned hesitation.

"Thank you very much for your kind offer, but please allow me to consider the interview."

"However, I still really like Miss Pansy and Miss Violet. If Miss Karuno could agree, that would be even better."

Mammon said with a smile.

What does it mean if 'Miss Karuno agrees'?
As a renowned journalist, Pansy's ability to read people and pick up on words is undoubtedly outstanding, and she keenly sensed that something was amiss upon hearing the words.

“Pansy, I have something important to discuss with Mr. Mammon, and it’s not convenient to have outsiders present.”

Karuno's expression changed slightly, but her excellent acting skills allowed her to adjust herself in an instant, though the meaning behind her words was already quite clear.

"Okay, I also have a scheduled interview next time. See you next time, everyone."

Pansy was quite perceptive; she waved goodbye to Karuno and Mammon before quickly leaving.

This is bad! This is really bad!
It seems like I've gotten involved in something serious?
Pansy felt the gazes from behind and, steeling herself, quietly quickened her pace. Pansy, oh pansy.

Why did she go up to Ms. Karuno as soon as she saw her? Doesn't she know the occasion?
Hopefully, I won't get into any trouble.

Pansy was already inwardly groaning. As a reporter who was best at reading people's expressions, she had a vague feeling that trouble might be brewing.

Although she herself is a somewhat well-known reporter and her sister is the Gym Leader of Alhambra City, the fact that Ms. Diantha is so serious and even directly tells someone to "kick her out" suggests that the person on the other end is clearly not a kind person.

As she watched the pansy's figure disappear quickly, Karuno's beautiful face fell.

"Tsk~ Miss Pansy has a really good figure, Miss Karuno, what do you think?"

Mammon, on the other hand, made a blunt and sarcastic comment about the pansies that had just left.

“Mr. Mammon, Pansy is just a reporter, and she didn’t mean to interrupt our conversation.” Karuno’s tone was somber.

"What are you saying, Miss Karuno? I didn't do anything to Miss Pansy, did I? I was just commenting on Miss Pansy's figure. Everyone has an appreciation for beauty, right?"

Mammon shrugged innocently.

Are you sure? You were clearly eyeing the pansy just now! And the pansy's sister, Violet!
Karen now understands what Daigo said: Mammon isn't a great villain, but he's definitely not a good person either.

He's a damn lecher!

"However, I still remember your request. Miss Karuno herself is very unwilling. I am a kind-hearted person, so I will not force Miss Karuno."

Mammon smiled and spoke to Karuno.

Mammon let himself off the hook, but Karuno was anything but happy at the moment.

"I'll replace two people with Miss Pansy and Miss Violet to take care of my daily life for a while. As long as Miss Karuna agrees, our Rocket Team will focus on developing our own business in Carlos."

"Once I leave Carlos, Miss Pansy and Miss Violet will be returned to you, and I can guarantee that they will not suffer any psychological trauma."

Mammon spoke slowly and leisurely.

Even Diana was starting to lose her composure. Good, good, good! This is the style of Team Rocket that she remembered!

Rationally speaking, the trade of having the pansy sisters sacrifice themselves to feed the tiger in exchange for the Rockets' boss's guarantee was absolutely worthwhile.

But Karuno can't do it!

How could she possibly bring this up with the pansy sisters?
Yes, Mammon said that after he leaves Carlos, he will return the pansy sisters, and that there will be no psychological trauma.

But Karna doesn't believe it, she doesn't believe the second half of the sentence.

Mammon must have been after the Pansy sisters' bodies, otherwise why would he have specified them by name? How could someone who went through something like that not have psychological trauma?
Karuno's expression kept changing. As a woman herself, she really couldn't bear to send the pansy sisters into the lion's den.

"Mammon, forced love is never sweet."

After a long silence, Karuno finally managed to utter these words.

“It’s not sweet, but it quenches thirst,” Mammon replied matter-of-factly.

"Besides, Miss Karuno, you are not Miss Pansy or the others, so how do you know they are unwilling?"

Then Mammon, with a bright smile, asked Karuno.

Need I say more? How could the pansies possibly agree?

Karuno remained silent, her mind in turmoil.

“Being my maid and taking care of my daily life may not necessarily be a bad thing. For the two sisters, it might even be a turning point in their lives. What do you think?”

Mammon spoke leisurely.

"In short, these are my requirements, Miss Karuno. Please give me your reply as soon as possible."

"Either you come and be my maid, or you send the Pansy Sisters."

Mammon watched Karuno's struggling expression with great interest, his words full of mockery and malice.

"Or, you can all serve me together, I don't mind anyway."

Well, it's quite amusing to see the champion from the Carlos region struggling with such a hesitant expression.

Sacrificing herself or those innocent sisters must have been a difficult choice for Karuno.

"Miss Karuno, then tell me, what do you want to choose?"

Hearing this whisper, which sounded like a demon's, was truly terrifying.

Karuno's mind was completely blank at this moment, and she only had one thought in mind.

Why try to be brave when communicating with Mammon? Why not have Pachira come instead?!
