Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 408 The Initial Test to Join Team Rocket! vs. Serena!
"What are the requirements for me to join the Rockets?"

Xiao You asked expectantly.

This was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. As Xiaoyou herself said, she actually had a good impression of Mammon after seeing his interview.

Moreover, she greatly admired Mammon's vision.

'If someone has to change the world, why can't it be me?'

This is why so many people online like Mammon.

Xiaoyou wasn't lying to Mammon at the beginning; she was indeed a fan of Mammon.

Especially after the Flame Team incident in the Carlos region, the Rockets assisted the Carlos League in thwarting the Flame Team's plot.

This also proves that what Mammon said in the interview was not a lie; the Rockets he leads are truly making the world a better place.

Then there's nothing to hesitate about. Xiaoyou feels that she is also someone who hopes the world can become a more beautiful place!

What are the conditions for joining the Rockets?

Mammon raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly.

"Actually, there are no conditions. As long as you share the same ideals and beliefs as us, you are our like-minded companions."

Mammon replied in this way.

"But once you join Team Rocket, we'll have to work together towards the organization's goals. Yu, have you thought about that?"

"Of course! Mr. Mammon, my goal is also to make the skies of this world clear and beautiful!"

Xiaoyou replied with certainty that she loves traveling and adventure because it allows her to better see the brilliance and beauty of the world.

Xiaoyou was absolutely certain that she disliked the shadows and evils hidden beneath the surface of beauty.

After learning about the Rockets and Mammon through the interview video, she truly admired Mammon's courage and ideals.

The only thing that Xiaoyou regrets is that there doesn't seem to be any well-known evil organizations in the Galarian region, but that's actually a good thing.

You mean the Shouting Team?
Actually, when Xiaoyou first encountered the Shout Team, she didn't like them because their behavior of hindering gym challengers went too far.

But I later learned that the so-called Shout Team was actually just a fan of Marie, and the members of the Shout Team also really liked Pokémon. In some ways, these Shout Team members were quite cute.

Xiaoyou then felt relieved.

"Excellent! This is the kind of partner we can move forward with!"

Mammon nodded with satisfaction and patted Xiaoyou on the shoulder.

"As the leader of the Rockets, I welcome you to join us. As for the contract, let's sign it after we leave this ruin."

"Huh? There's a contract too?"

Xiaoyou was quite happy, but also had some doubts.

“Of course, we are a legitimate organization, so of course we have to sign a contract.” Mammon gave Xiaoyou a strange look, his gaze rather impolite.

Xiao You blushed; she really hadn't thought of that.

"Then the organization will give you a corresponding monthly salary and authority based on your organizational position level. With your strength in passing the dojo challenge, Xiaoyou, it shouldn't be bad," Mammon said to Xiaoyou.

"Oh, I'm quite confident in my abilities."

When asked about her strengths, Xiaoyou was very confident.

She's a trainer recognized by Champion Leon!

"Then you can spar with Serena later. Serena is a high-ranking officer in the organization. See how good you are now. If you can reach the level of a high-ranking officer, I can give you a surprise."

Mammon smiled. Of course, Mammon knew very well that Xiaoyou's strength was definitely at the Heavenly King level.

It's just hard to say whether she or Serena is stronger now.

Xiao You's talent is definitely among the top tier of all the main characters.

“Okay!” Xiaoyou blinked and looked at Serena, who was also a girl who looked about the same age as her.

I'm sure I'm no worse than this girl. Even the champion Dan Di said I'm even more 'monster' than he was when he debuted!

I wonder what surprises await those who become high-ranking officials?
Xiao You was very much looking forward to it, after all, the surprise Mr. Mammon mentioned must be something special, right?

"Xiao You..."

Looking at this sweet and innocent-looking girl, Serena suddenly had a strange intuition that this girl was probably also a 'monster'...

Well, although this intuition came out of nowhere, Serena trusted her sixth sense.

Serena felt somewhat helpless; she increasingly felt that her previous title of being the number one among Carlos's peers was actually nothing special anymore...

But you get used to it. The world is so big, and there are countless geniuses. But that's precisely why.

If you can stand out among so many 'monsters', that would be something to be proud of and remember!

Serena's eyes hardened. Yes, the first thing she needed to do was to teach this newcomer a lesson.

Back when she first joined the Rockets, wasn't she 'taught a lesson' by Prantina?
You are indeed the best among your peers in the Galarian region. I won't argue with you; who isn't the best among their peers in the region?

But it's different if you join the Rockets.

Come and experience the pressure and intensity of the Rockets!
On the stage, the battle between Plantina and Regiereki continued, with the Flame Emperor fighting fiercely under Plantina's command.

However, Reginald was just too fast!

It's incredibly fast, especially since Reggie Elech can use Godspeed.

Prantina was truly thankful she hadn't used Pheromosa, otherwise Pheromosa would probably be lying dead on the ground by now.

Pheromosa's speed is definitely top-tier among all Pokémon; there are very few Pokémon that can outspeed it.

But Reginald is one of them.

Pheromosa, a high-speed, high-attack, and fragile Pokémon, is most afraid of high-speed Pokémon like Regigigas, which have the same style.

If Pheromosa can't outspeed its opponent, it's basically hopeless to counter Regice. It will only be beaten down by Regice's incredible speed and gradually lose hope.

But it was precisely because of this that Prantina used the Flame Emperor.

Although Entei's speed is not as fast as Reggie's, Entei has many wide-range moves, such as fire breath and smoke breath.

Furthermore, there are moves like Smoke Screen that can confuse Regigigas's vision, not to mention that wild Pokémon have a very direct fighting style.

Although her speed made her difficult to deal with, Prandina ultimately prevailed by playing steadily and methodically.

Emperor Yan defeated Reggielechi.

Beep beep ding!
With a crisp crack, the Ultra Ball froze completely, and Regie Elech captured it.

"That's wonderful! Emperor Yan, you're amazing, you did a fantastic job!"

After picking up Regice's Poké Ball, Plantina was overjoyed and hugged the badly injured Entei around the neck, her happiness overflowing.

Emperor Yan snorted and raised his head proudly, as if to say...

"Of course! I am the Flame Emperor of the Phoenix King's Guard!"

Seeing the girl interacting with Emperor Yan, Mammon couldn't help but chuckle. "Wow, I'm so envious."

Xiao You was very envious. This girl already has two legends: Emperor Yan and Reggie Elegy.

And she's incredibly strong!

Xiao You blinked her bright eyes. This girl, Yan Di, was much stronger than herself.

"Congratulations, Xiao Guang."

Mammon stepped forward and smiled at Plantina.

"Thank you, Mr. Mammon, it's all thanks to you for giving me this opportunity."

“You succeeded in subduing him through your own efforts, and there’s no need for us to say such things between us,” Mammon waved his hand.

"No~"

Prandina's face immediately turned red, after all, Mammon's words were a bit too ambiguous.

But the girl felt a sweet warmth in her heart. Yes, her relationship with Mr. Mammon didn't need to be so formal.

Sensing the warming atmosphere between the two, Xiaoyou's gossip instincts kicked in, while Serena subtly pursed her lips.

Cattleya remained expressionless.

"Now that you've successfully subdued Xiao Guang, let's go outside. Xiao You also wants to join our organization, so let's talk outside."

Mammon glanced at the Ruins of Choice, which were in a state of disarray due to the fierce battle between the Flame Emperor and Reggie Elech.

"Hmm~"

The group arrived outside the Ruins of Choice and found a clean patch of grass where they spread out a picnic blanket.

"Because we don't yet know your strength, Xiaoyou, the treatment the organization is giving you is the most basic."

"Your specific salary and benefits will depend on your upcoming match against Serena."

"I feel that we are still destined to meet, and the organization is not stingy. But how many privileges you want depends on your own performance. This is the same everywhere, you understand, right, Xiaoyou?"

Mammon handed a contract to Xiaoyou and told her to take a look at it first.

Ah, I know!

Xiao You nodded naturally, and then carefully read through the contract. Although she was kind-hearted, Xiao You was not stupid.

Contracts are something that should be taken seriously.

But looking at it, there were no problems with the contract, and even though it was just normal compensation, Xiaoyou thought it was already quite generous.

I can't even imagine the treatment those officers receive. Is Team Rocket really that humane? But this is the organization I love!

"Since it's a test, it would be best if everyone competed against each other. That way, your skill level can be more clearly demonstrated, is that alright?"

"No problem! Mr. Mammon, just you wait and see, I'm really strong!"

Xiaoyou patted her chest confidently. Although she might not be as good as Plantina, Xiaoyou felt that she was no weaker than Serena.

I'm the No.1 among my peers in the Galarian region, after all!
This has been personally certified by the Pill Emperor and all the dojo masters!

"Alright, I'll look forward to it then. But just a friendly reminder, Serena is also very strong, so don't underestimate her."

Mammon chuckled softly, signaling to the two women that they could begin.

Xiaoyou and Serena exchanged a glance, and then the two slowly walked away, clearing enough space for the battle to take place.

A scarlet energy point was located not far from them.

Prantina acted as referee, announcing the simple rules of the fight.

After that, Prantina withdrew from the battlefield and continued to strengthen her bond with Regillechi, whom she had just tamed.

"Miss Serena, please take care of me!"

Xiao You's sweet and lovely face gradually turned serious. Although she was confident in herself, this was an "interview" battle, and she had to perform as well as possible.

"Just call me Serena. From now on, we're all comrades."

Serena's pretty face was also quite serious. She took off her hat, tied her beautiful wavy long hair with a black hairband, and her whole demeanor changed instantly, becoming clean and neat.

"Then you can just call me Xiaoyou, Serena." Xiaoyou found Serena a bit strange. She seemed like a cold girl, but her attitude was surprisingly good.

"Okay, Xiaoyou, I hope your skills won't disappoint me."

Serena raised the Poké Ball, her beautiful eyes reflecting the image of the girl opposite her.

"This was my first Pokémon!"

"Koga Ninja!"

The Poké Ball opened in mid-air, a flash of white light, and a cool Greninja landed gracefully, slowly standing up and gazing at Xiaoyou.

“Greninja, the starter Pokémon from Kalos.” ​​Xiaoyou recognized it immediately.

“That’s right, I’m a Carlos.” ​​Serena nodded.

"In that case, I'll use it!"

Xiaoyou was in high spirits and decisively threw out her Poké Ball.

"Boom King Kong! Go!"

A flash of white light appeared, and a strong and powerful gorilla landed in front of Xiaoyou, placing a wooden drum from behind its body.

The Grass-type starter Pokémon, Gorilla, from the Galar region!

Serena's eyes flickered slightly; this was the first time she had ever seen the Thunder King Kong.

and……

"Boom!"

Xiao You shouted at the Thunder King Kong.

The Thunder King Kong roared, and a green light shone from its body, gradually dissipating a green energy.

The ground, which was originally a lawn, was dotted with green light.

This is precisely the characteristic of the Thunder King Kong: a grass maker that can spread out grassy terrain.

"Tsk~ If Serena doesn't switch Pokémon, it'll be tough."

Mammon clicked his tongue softly at this.

Tigers, leopards, bears, and gorillas—none of them are easy to mess with.

Rillaboom, with its Grassy Creator ability, can definitely be considered one of the top Grass-type starter Pokémon.

Of course, Greninja is not bad either, but the problem is that Serena's Greninja has the Torrent ability.

Moreover, even the hidden ability of "Transformation" is useless. Does anyone still use "Transformation" these days?
