Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 399 Mammon: I'll help you surpass Loz!
"Honestly, Dad, you should be more discreet when you're out in public!! I've told you so many times already."

Shakoya's forehead veins bulged as she glared angrily at Pioneer in a low voice.

"Don't call me that kind of name in public!"

"Haha~ Don't worry about the details, Xiaxia, don't you think it's cute?"

"You're the only one who thinks it's cute, you bastard! I'm all grown up now!"

Shakoya's anger intensified, especially when she saw the strange looks the other passengers gave her when they heard "Little Shakoya".

Shakoya felt incredibly ashamed.

"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go to Frozen Village first."

But clearly, Pioneer didn't care at all about his daughter starting to breathe on him; he had plenty of experience with that.

Just get away with it.

It's such a cute nickname, I don't know why my two daughters don't like it.

Pione is very distressed.

The father and daughter prepared to head to Frozen Village, the only small village inside the Crown Snowfield.

If you want to rest and find a place to stay, Frozen Village is the most suitable place.

"Hello, you two have such a great relationship."

Suddenly, a clear male voice entered their ears.

When Pione and Shakoya turned around, Pione couldn't help but click his tongue.

It was a group of one man and three women, and no matter how you looked at it, all four of them were very good-looking.

Xia Keya looked at the four people curiously. She remembered them; she had noticed them on the train.

After all, these four people are quite eye-catching.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

Pioni said frankly that the boy leading the group was clearly coming for them.

“Indeed, there is something important I would like to discuss with you, Mr. Pione.”

Mammon smiled and spoke to Pione.

Pioneer frowned slightly. The other party knew him. If that was the case, it was probably not an ordinary matter.

"Let's go to Frozen Village? This isn't a good place for chatting."

Mammon looked around; there was nowhere suitable to settle down on the Qiqiao Snowfield.

“Okay.” Pione thought for a moment and did not refuse.

Although he didn't know the other party's intentions, Pione was confident in himself; his strength was no joke!
Frozen Village, a village in the Crown Snowfield, is located between the Rising Snowfield and the Freezing Snowfield.

There aren't actually many residents in Dongning Village, since the village is covered in ice and snow all year round and it's not really suitable for people to live in.

Therefore, most of the villagers in Dongning Village have moved away.

The guesthouse was called Dongning. Mamen and his group arrived at the guesthouse, and the warmth from the fireplace filled the room, making them feel much more comfortable.

"Young man, what can I do for you?"

Pione asked Mammon.

"Pione was once the Gym Leader of the Steel-type Gym and later became the Galar League Champion, right?"

Mammon took a sip of the steaming tea and spoke to Pione.

Upon hearing this, the three women, including Cattleya, looked at the middle-aged man, who resembled Rose but was more rugged, with considerable surprise. He had once been the champion of the Chaldea region.

Shakoya looked at Mammon with suspicion. How did this person know about her father's past?

"These are all old stories, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Pione said somewhat impatiently.

"Don't rush. Just from this point of view, Mr. Pione, you are indeed very different from Chairman Loz."

Mammon chuckled softly.

Although they are brothers, Pione and Lorz have very different personalities. Lorz is mature, steady, meticulous and patient, while Pione is not good at listening to others and is unrestrained and rough in his behavior.

"Kid, don't think you can talk nonsense just because you're young."

Upon hearing the name Lóz, Pione's expression changed, his face darkening and his tone becoming somber.

"Uncle's fists are no joke!"

Mammon was unfazed by Pione's blatant threat.

"Don't get excited. I'm actually quite curious, Mr. Pione, why did you suddenly step down from the championship, the position that everyone aspires to and pursues?"

Mammon, holding the dozing Jirachi, asked Pioneer with feigned curiosity.

"What's it to you?" Pione retorted rudely.

It's clear that Pioneer isn't in a good mood right now.

"Xiaxia, let's go."

Pione had lost patience for the conversation, called out to Shakoya, and turned to leave.

Shakoya responded, still glancing curiously at Mammon. This guy…

"It's because of President Rose, isn't it?"

However, Mammon's next words made Pione's face turn ugly again, and he stopped in his tracks.

"Not long after you became the Galar region champion, Loth also became the president of the Galar League, which made you leave the Galar League in a huff." Mammon watched Pione's retreating figure with a leisurely air, his tone inevitably carrying a hint of mockery.

"How weak you are, Pioni. Are you really that afraid of your brother?"

"Shut up!"

Pioneer suddenly turned around and shouted angrily at Mammon.

His chest was heaving as he spoke, expressing his intense anger.

“You don’t need to raise your voice so much, and what’s the point of yelling at me here?” Mammon tilted his head slightly, meeting Pione’s angry eyes.

In fact, Pione is truly a genius, as evidenced by his becoming the champion of the Galar region.

But why did he and his own brother, Loz, come to this point where they are no longer on speaking terms?

In Mammon's view, it was truly caused by Pione's own fragile yet arrogant mentality.

Pione and Rose are brothers who grew up together. However, throughout their lives, Pione was constantly compared to his outstanding older brother, Rose.

The opinions and views of outsiders became unbearable for Pioni, and his personality gradually became unruly.

Later, Pioneer finally ran away from home, but he was appreciated by a benefactor and became a gym leader.

Later, Pione even became a champion, but even so, his brother's shadow still loomed over him.

Upon learning that Loz had become the leader of the Alliance, Pioney left the Galarian Alliance and became an ordinary person adventuring everywhere.

How can I describe this? I can only say that he truly lives up to his reputation as Loz.

"Don't mention that name in front of me!"

Pione was breathing heavily, his eyes fixed on Mammon, and he spoke slowly and deliberately, his deep, hoarse voice like that of a wild beast.

Shakoya stood cautiously behind Pione; it was the first time she had ever seen her father so angry.

"Oh? So this is how you run away?"

Mammon, however, seemed not to notice Pione's expression and continued to speak with his head tilted to the side.

Pione's breathing became faster and faster.

"Because he couldn't compare to Loz, he ran far away, buried the name, and pretended that this person had never existed in his life."

Mammon continued talking to himself.

"Pione, a Steel-type Champion-level Trainer, is affectionately known as 'Steel Brother.' I wonder what kind of expressions his fans would have if they knew that their idol was just a weakling who only knew how to run away."

Mammon continued his mocking smile.

Prantina and Serena watched Peony nervously, their hands already gripping the Poké Balls tightly, fearing that Peony might suddenly attack.

Because everyone could sense that Pioneer's anger had reached a critical point, like a volcano about to erupt at any moment.

Pione was absolutely furious at that moment!
For so many years, he has tried his best to distance himself from that person and to forget him.

But now, this reckless guy keeps bringing up that name in front of him.

Did they really mold him into clay?
Shakoya quietly took two steps back, afraid that blood might splatter on her.

However, after his initial anger subsided, Pione calmed down somewhat.

“My relationship with him is none of your business to comment on,” Pione said in a deep voice, taking a deep breath.

"Hmm? Tsk~ I thought you were going to make a move, but you've managed to hold back?"

Mammon rested his chin on his hand, looking at Pione with considerable surprise.

Upon hearing this, Pione was so angry he laughed instead of laughing. This guy!

“I really want to teach you a lesson, but this is a guesthouse, and…”

Pione's face darkened, even though what this guy said was unpleasant to hear.

But Pioni also knew that what he said was not wrong; no matter how you embellish it, he was indeed running away.

Because Pioneer knew very well that his talent was not as good as his brother Rose's, and the fact that Galer was thriving showed that Rose was right to become the leader of the League.

"In short, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you. If you came to me just to mock me, you've already achieved your goal."

Pione said calmly, preparing to leave with Shakoya.

clap clap ~
Applause suddenly erupted, and Mammon slowly stood up, smiling as he looked at Pioney.

Do I look like someone who has so much free time?

"I'm not here to provoke you, Mr. Pioneer, but to discuss something important with you."

Mammon took a gold badge out of his pocket and tossed it to Pione.

Pione immediately caught it, and upon opening his palm, he saw that it was an exquisite 'R' badge.

Pioneer frowned; he seemed to understand.

"As the leader of the Rockets, I sincerely invite Mr. Pioney to join our Rockets team and serve as a top executive."

Mammon smiled and spoke slowly.

“Mr. Pioneer, please believe me, your talent and value are no less than your brother’s, and I can give you a stage to showcase your self-worth.”

"The Rockets..."

Pioneer confirmed it; it really was the Rockets.

Although he has been staying in the Crown Tundra in search of legendary Pokémon for some time, he had occasionally seen some news about Team Rocket online while he was out.

And now, the Rockets have actually arrived in the Galar region.

But what makes a mere underground organization think it can demonstrate value surpassing Loz? Are underground organizations really that arrogant now?
