Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 400 Team Rocket's Top Cadre? I'll Test His Quality!
"How dare you say that."

Pione couldn't help but laugh.

Do you know Lorz's current status?

Although Pione rarely pays attention to the Galarian Alliance anymore, he still knows Loz's current status in Galarian.

It's absolutely true that Loz is the most outstanding guild leader in the history of the Galar region.

Moreover, the Marocmon Group now almost monopolizes all markets, surpassing Loz in the land of Galer.
It's no exaggeration to say that this is simply a fantasy.

"So what?" Mammon retorted.

"Even if Loz has absolute power in Galilee, he is still just a local tyrant in Galilee."

Mammon's lips slowly curled upwards.

"But, Pioneer, do you know anything about our Rockets team?"

"Starting from the Kanto region, our Team Rocket flag has been planted all over Alola, Hoenn, Unova, Sinnoh, and Kalos."

"The league and championships cannot stop the Rockets' development. Sooner or later, the Rockets will become an organization that rivals or even surpasses the league."

Mammon's tone was not harsh, and even revealed a hint of nonchalance.

It was precisely because of this that the strong self-confidence emanating from his words caused Pione's pupils to shrink slightly.

"This is impossible!"

Pione exclaimed in disbelief.

Yes, that should be impossible!

The Pokémon League has ruled the world for over a hundred years, covering almost every region. Even if an underground organization were to develop, it would be extremely difficult for Pokémon to suppress it.

"Why is it impossible? Pioneer, your understanding is too shallow."

Mammon tilted his head and stared at Pione.

"Just like when you became the Galar region champion, what a great opportunity it was. You proved your ability and became the best person in the Galar region."

Pioni's dark face darkened again.

"But what happened next? What did you do after Loz became the president?"

"You didn't think about using your championship title to continue proving yourself to everyone. Instead, you resigned from your championship position and fled the Galar League because you didn't want to work with Loz."

"Do you know why you've always been inferior to Loz? It's because your understanding is too narrow."

Mammon spoke without any mercy.

"You bastard!" Pione clenched his fists and stared intently at Mammon.

However, Mammon didn't care at all. Although he wasn't as big as Pioni, his body had been blessed by alpacas.

In a real hand-to-hand combat, even with Pione's constant adventures abroad, he would never be a match for him.

Besides, are Gengar and Marshall in Mammon's shadow just for show?
“Even Rose only came in second place in the Champions Cup, while you became the true Galar Champion. Didn’t you already have something that made you stronger than Rose at that time?”

"If you hadn't left the Galar League and had instead focused on your championship work and strived for excellence, people would be proud of you too. In what way are you inferior to Loz?"

Mammon's question startled Pione.

Yes, actually, the moment he became the Galar Champion, he was already stronger than Loz, wasn't he?

However, he himself gave up this honor because of his grudge against Loz.

Seeing her father suddenly fall silent, Xia Keya pursed her lips but still didn't say anything.

In fact, Shakoya did not understand the conflict between Pione and her uncle Loz, but she respected her father's choice.

"A person has many opportunities in life, but many people miss them for various reasons."

Mammon continued.

“Pioni, you abandoned that opportunity yourself and have been weakly running away ever since. Now, the gap between you and Loz is getting bigger and bigger.”

Mammon didn't want to talk too much about the conflict between Pione and Loz, after all, it was a problem between the two brothers, and it was meaningless for outsiders to say who was right and who was wrong.

Moreover, it is precisely because of his dislike for Loz that it is even more advantageous for him to win over Pione.

"Look at yourself now, the former champion of the Galar region~ But how many people in the Galar region still remember you now?"

Mammon said with a smile.

This wasn't just something he said offhand. Although Pione was the previous champion of the Galar region, his tenure was far too short.

Although he does have some fans, nowadays, the people of Galarian almost only remember the current undefeated champion, Dante.

Pioni? Nobody really knows him anymore.

Not to mention Pioni, even the previous year's Galar champion Masde is more famous than Pioni.

After all, although Masdeh retired earlier, he was invincible in his youth and still holds a record that no one can break.

Undefeated for 18 years!
This is Mastedt's undefeated record, a record that no champion has been able to break to this day. Moreover, Mastedt is the only known trainer of the Martial Arts Bear Master in the world.

Urshifu is a legendary Pokémon.

Therefore, of the three champions from the Galar region, Pione is the least famous.

"So what?" Pione said indifferently.

"I don't care about this empty title."

"I don't care, but are you really willing to remain silent like this? Even if there's a clear opportunity right in front of you?"

Mammon asked Pione directly.

Pione's breathing became heavy again.

“You’ve already missed one chance, but now I can give you another one, Pioney.”

"If you accept this badge and join the Rockets, I will give you the resources and capital to give it your all."

"Otherwise, you can continue to be an unknown adventurer, using your strength to enjoy your old age with your daughter, forever running away from your own brother."

Mammon spoke very calmly.

As Mammon finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Peony stared down at the gold badge in his hand, his expression shifting constantly; clearly, he was in the midst of a mental storm. Joining Team Rocket would naturally mean the end of his peaceful life.

But should he agree? Mammon's words really moved him.

Are you willing?
How could he possibly be willing to accept that? If he had truly let go of it, how could he have reacted so strongly upon hearing the name 'Loz'?

He was actually very unwilling!
Why? Why should he live his whole life in the shadow of the name Loz?!
Shakoya couldn't help but grasp her father's hand, offering silent encouragement and support.

Pione glanced at her daughter, and Shakoya nodded to her, indicating that she would support whatever decision Pione made.

"Why should I believe you can really help me?"

Pioneer took a deep breath and said to Mammon in a deep voice.

"Why should I? Because my name is Mammon!"

Mammon's lips curled up, and he raised his head slightly, his arrogant voice reaching the ears of Pione and his daughter.

mad!!

"There's nothing in this world I can't do, and there's no place the Rockets can't reach!"

"That's quite a bold statement. In that case, if you can defeat me, I'll join your Team Rocket."

Pioneer's deep eyes were fixed on Mammon, though his intuition told him that the boy was incredibly powerful.

However, it's far too simplistic to think that you can convince him, Pio, with just words.

“Of course it is.” Mammon shrugged.

A fight is definitely going to happen; after all, I need to show Pioney my muscles so he'll feel comfortable joining.

“Mammon, let me handle the fight against Mr. Pione.”

Suddenly, Cattleya spoke to Mammon with a faint smile.

"This is also a way of welcoming our new colleague."

She was quite eager to see the level of the former champion of the Galar region.

"That's fine with me."

Mammon raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and looked at Pione.

He originally planned to use a legendary Pokémon to show off his muscles, but having Cattleya do it is not a bad idea either.

Pione frowned slightly, scrutinizing Cattleya with a critical gaze.

It looks gorgeous and beautiful, but a trainer's strength is not simply determined by appearance.

“Gardelia, one of the organization’s six top executives, would like to ask Mr. Pione for some guidance.”

Ignoring Pione's impolite gaze, Gadriya gave a graceful, slight bow.

"Alright then." Pione didn't say anything more after hearing this.

Top-level cadres? That's like champion-level cadres?

Perfect timing, he can also see the level of the Rockets' other top executives.

The group arrived near an energy point outside Frozen Village. Having an energy point meant they could Dynamax.

"Mr. Pione is a Steel-type specialist, right? Sister Cattleya is at a slight disadvantage against him."

Prandina looked at Pione and Cattleya, who were already prepared, and was still a little worried for Cattleya.

After all, Cattleya specializes in the Psychic type, while Peony is an expert in the Steel type.

Although Steel type is not super effective against Psychic type, it is resistant to Psychic type.

After all, steel is such a noble material.

How noble is it? It has resistance to a full ten attributes! And it's immune to poison.

There are only eighteen attributes in total. Ten of them are not very effective against it, and it is even immune to poison. The only attributes that can counter steel are ground, fighting, and fire.

Just horrible.

"Gardelia, right? I don't really like bullying women, but I'm sorry, I won't hold back in this fight."

Peony took out a Poké Ball and said to Cattleya in a deep voice.

"Mr. Pioneer, please rest assured, I am not a delicate girl."

Caldelia maintained her elegant and composed demeanor, speaking in a calm and unhurried tone.

"Furthermore, you don't need to hold back. You must use all your strength, otherwise you might suffer a very bad defeat."

Cattleya smiled faintly and spoke slowly.

How can she be so elegant yet so arrogant at the same time?!
Shakoya looked at Cattleya with shining eyes; she was just too beautiful!

"Oh? You're quite confident. It's been a long time since I've encountered such an interesting opponent."

Upon hearing this, Pione grinned, his blood seemingly boiling over at that moment.

how many years?

He hasn't been able to fight at full strength since stepping down as Galar Champion, but it seems he can today.

"Haha~ Please don't disappoint me too much!"

Peony laughed loudly and threw his first Poké Ball with great force.

"Meow Boss!"

The Poké Ball opened, a flash of white light appeared, and a bipedal Pokémon with a predominantly gray body landed in front of Peony.

It is a Meowth evolved from Galarian Meowth, and is a pure Steel-type.

"Come on! Let me see just how good the Rockets' top executives really are!"

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

Pioneer stared intently at the beautiful and elegant Cattleya across from him, a top executive of the Rockets. He hoped he wouldn't disappoint her.
