Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 416 I Know You, Team Rocket's Boss Mammon
Upon hearing Mammon's words, Nie Zi's pupils contracted sharply, her expression instantly turned cold, and she stared intently at Mammon.

"What did you say?!"

The hoarse, low voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.

Mary, his own sister, the sister he cherished dearly.

And this man in front of him is actually using his beloved sister to threaten him?!

"Wasn't I clear enough?" Mammon chuckled. "Hand over your sister..."

boom!
Before Mammon could finish speaking, a tall and strong blocking bear landed heavily beside Nie Zi, its scarlet and terrifying eyes looking down at Mammon.

Their intense hostility was made no attempt to conceal it.

This is Nie Zi's trump card, the blocking bear.

"Tsk~ Mr. Nie Zi, do you know what you're doing?"

Mammon tilted his head slightly and smiled slowly at Nie Zi as if nothing was wrong.

“Of course I know.” Nie Zi stared coldly at Mammon, forcibly concealing the anger in her eyes.

"You're not welcome in Spiketown, get out."

"Oh?" Mammon chuckled.

"Even if it means losing the chance to save Spiketown, is that alright?" Mammon asked casually.

Nie Zi's indifferent expression remained unchanged.

“Look at this town, Mr. Nie Zi. It’s desolate and bleak. Spike Gym, once a prestigious dojo in the Galarian region, has now fallen into obscurity under your care.”

Nie Zi gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly.

Yes, Spiketown Gym was once a renowned gym in the Galar region, but since the rise of Dynamax, there have been no Dynamax Power Points around Spiketown.

Nie Zi hates Dynamaxing, she hates it very much.

Therefore, he did not intend to use Dynamax, but because he did not use Dynamax, the pure battles at Spike Gym did not attract much attention.

Nie Zi was extremely unwilling. He did not want the Spike Dojo to decline in his hands, but reality was just that cruel.

Nie Zi saw no hope. Spike Dojo was now virtually unknown in the Galarian region, even to herself.

In the public eye, he is more of a singer than a gym leader.

He can only pin his hopes on his younger sister, whose talent far surpasses his own, but can his sister really do it?

Nie Zi believed in Mary and sincerely hoped that she would believe in her.

"I don't know if what you're saying is true or false, but even if it is true, I will not sacrifice my sister!"

Nie Zi replied in a deep voice.

Faced with the choice between the prosperity of Spiketown and his sister, he still made his choice without hesitation.

"So, get out of Spiketown before I can still control my sanity! People like you are never welcome here!"

Nie Zi said coldly, "If it weren't for reason controlling me, I would have already ordered the blocking bear to make a move."

Pa~pa~pa~
But right after Nie Zi finished speaking, she discovered that the boy in front of her was actually clapping.

"Look, what makes a good older brother? This is what a truly qualified older brother is like."

Mammon pointed at Nie Zi and praised the three women behind him, including Gadria.

Nie Zi: "?"

"Well, let's just consider what I said earlier a joke. Now, Mr. Nie Zi, let's have a serious talk about how to restore Spike Town to its former prosperity, shall we?"

Mammon turned his head and smiled at Nie Zi.

"you……"

Nie Zi was a little slow to process what was happening.

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person you think I am. Although I am indeed very interested in Miss Mary, it's not in the way you think, but in a different way."

Mammon spoke calmly, but Nie Zi's brows remained furrowed.

"You want me to join your organization, right?"

At that moment, a clear, cold voice came from behind.

"Marie? What brings you here?"

Nie Zi turned around, and there was Mary walking towards her.

Mammon also looked at Mary, a girl with a very aloof and expressionless demeanor.

Her skin was very fair, her black shoulder-length hair was styled in a cool way, and she was wearing a pink short dress with a black women's jacket over it. Her round and fair legs were very eye-catching.

It was Nie Zi's younger sister, Mary.

These two people are actually siblings?
Prandina and Serena stared in astonishment at Mari as she approached, then glanced at Nie Zi, who was dressed like a ghost, and were deeply shocked.

The gap between these siblings is just too big!

"I've always been here, you just didn't notice me."

Mary replied indifferently, her tone completely flat. For some reason, she wasn't in a good mood today, so she didn't go to the special training and instead listened to Nie Zi sing in a corner.

Unexpectedly, Mammon and his group came to visit.

Nie Zi: "..."

"Nice to meet you, Miss Mary."

Mammon smiled politely at Mary.

"I know you, Mammon, the Rockets' boss."

Mary raised her head slightly. She wasn't very tall, and if she had a smile on her face, she would be a perfect sweet girl.

However, Mary's face always seems to have that blank, emotionless expression.

"Oh? It seems you've heard my story."

Mammon chuckled softly.

“Both Xiaoyou and Hop mentioned it, and didn’t Xiaoyou join your Rockets team a few days ago?” Mary tilted her head slightly.

Mammon understood. It seemed that Xiaoyou had informed her friends about this. He wondered if she had informed Dandi as well.

No, since Rose already knows about this, Leon probably knows too. I wonder what Leon's expression is.

"You have a really twisted sense of humor, deliberately trying to make my brother overthink things. He's not exactly a genius, is that really funny?" Mary said calmly.

“Marie, I…”

Nie Zi's eyelids twitched wildly, and she reached out to try to explain.

"Shut up." Mary glanced at Nie Zi sideways.

Nie Zi: "..."

Nie Zi awkwardly lowered his hand. He really couldn't do anything about his beloved younger sister. After all, although Mary looked aloof, she was actually quite frightening when she really lost her temper.

Nie Zi often reminisces about Mary when she was little, back when Mary was a crybaby...

But at some point, it turned into this cold and unapproachable demeanor.

"I think you seem to have misunderstood something, Miss Mary. If I had to say, I would say something to you, Miss Mary..."

Mammon raised an eyebrow, then bent down slightly, bringing his face close to Mary's, a slow smile spreading across his lips.

The two were now unusually close, almost nose to nose.

At this distance, Mammon could clearly see Mary's eyes, and Mary could also clearly see her reflection in Mammon's eyes.

This man… Mary’s breathing quickened slightly; this was the first time she had ever been so close to a man.

"I still like it very much."

The boy's voice was like the whisper of a tender lover, making Mary pause and her eyes well up with tears.

But the next second, Mary turned her head slightly away and stopped looking at Mammon.

Mammon chuckled and straightened up again.

“But Miss Mary, you’re right. I really hope you can join my organization. For that, I’m willing to help you rebuild Spiketown.”

"If you can do that, I can join the Rockets."

Mary said calmly, "The Rockets are a huge organization that spans multiple regions."

Because of Yu and Hop's admiration for Mammon, and because Yu had recently joined the Rockets, Mary made a point of learning a lot about it.

For Mary, joining Team Rocket wasn't something she found hard to accept, especially since it would make Spiketown a better place.

The reason she left Spiketown to challenge the gym was to become famous and restore Spiketown to its former glory, wasn't it?

That way, my brother won't have to work so hard.

Nie Zi opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.

"But this isn't an easy task, you should know that, right? Why did our Spiketown become like this? Do you have any ideas?"

Mary looked directly into Mammon's eyes again.

"Of course I know, but this isn't a good place to talk business, is it?"

Mammon shrugged and glanced around at the cheering squad members and ordinary residents below the stage.

"Come with me."

Nie Zi spoke up, saying that since his sister had made a decision, he trusted Mary's decision.

Nie Zi brought Mammon and the others to her home. Nie Zi and Mali's family was quite well-off.

Nie Zi personally poured a glass of water for Mammon and the others, and then put the teapot away.

"Mr. Mammon, since you say you have a way to solve our town's current predicament, I'd like to know what your method is?"

Nie Zi was curious and a little eager.

Mary sat down next to Nie Zi, took a sip of water, and then looked at Mammon as well.

"First of all, why has Spiketown fallen to its current state? It's because there are no Dynamax Points around Spiketown, resulting in no Dynamaxing within Spiketown's territory, not because of your strength, Mr. Nie Zi, is that right?"

Mammon leaned back on the sofa and looked at Nie Zi.

“That’s right.” Nie Zi nodded without hesitation; he was very confident in his abilities.

Apart from Raihana and Popura, Nie Zi was confident he could defeat the other Gym Leaders, even without Dynamaxing.

The problem with Spike Dojo is never its strength!
"So the problem is very simple. In the end, it's about what's missing: Dynamax, or rather, what's missing is a point that will attract viewers."

“The town of Spike has no distinctive features, which is one of the reasons why no one wants to come here, or even move away from Spike.”

Mammon said with a smile.

"So how do we solve this?" Nie Zi frowned. Of course he knew this, so he tried his best to sing to attract passersby to Spike Town, but with little success.

"Naturally, we need to create our own unique features. Energy points are something that can't be solved right now, so we can only try to find solutions from other aspects."

"First, I've looked into the current market in Galer. I can have my company build an entertainment complex in Spiketown and open a game arcade there. As long as the rewards are generous enough, I'm not worried about attracting people."

That's right, arcade business isn't particularly unusual, but the most important thing is the rewards!

Just like the Jade Rainbow Arcade back then, it was because its prize list included Dratini and other rare Pokémon.

The Hoorla City Casino, now renowned throughout the Alola region, is primarily known for its arcades.

"gaming room?"

"That's right, an arcade where you can exchange enough game coins for many pseudo-legendary baby Pokémon such as Dratini, Bagon, Jangmo-o, and Beldum, as well as other rare Pokémon."

Mammon's lips curled up slightly.

"what?"

Nie Zi was shocked, and even Mary looked at Mammon with some astonishment.

"What do you think?" Mammon asked with a light laugh.

"Do...do these resources really exist?"

Nie Zi naturally had no objections. As a trainer, he could already foresee that the arcade would be a huge success every day after it was established.

But such abundant resources are no joke. Don't wait until you have enough arcade visitors to redeem them, but then find yourself in the awkward situation of not getting any Pokémon to give you. That would be disastrous.

"Mr. Nie Zi, you don't need to worry about that. This is a problem with our company. In short, there is absolutely no problem with the Pokémon resources, and their source is completely clean." Mammon waved his hand.

"Then, the second point is that since there is no Dynamax available, we should find a way to replace Dynamax and make the audience willing to watch."

"Mr. Nie Zi, are you familiar with Mega Evolution, Crystallization, and Z-Moves?"

Mammon asked Nie Zi.

“I’ve heard of it.” Nie Zi was taken aback.

"That's simple. If you don't have Dynamax, then you can just use these three power-ups when challenging the gym. You can also use them to bring out the unique features of the Spike Gym."

"But……"

Nie Zi frowned once again.

"Putting aside where to find these three enhancement items, Mega Evolution requires specific Pokémon, and Crystallization also requires Crystal Orbs. Besides, Crystallization can't be used in the Galar region, right?"

Mary's cool voice rang out.

“These are minor issues.” Mammon tossed the black Taijing Bead and the Z bracelet inlaid with Z Pure Crystal to Nie Zi.

Nie Zi caught it with a blank expression.

"Tai Crystallization is not unusable in other regions, but after it is used up, the Tai Crystal energy inside the Tai Crystal Bead will be completely consumed and needs to be replenished."

"So I'll have Talebagos leave you a piece of Tai Crystal here. After you use Tai Crystallization, just place the Tai Crystal Bead on the Tai Crystal to replenish it."

"Then I'll give you the Z-Ring and the Z-Crystal. You're a Dark-type Trainer, so this is a Dark-type Z-Crystal. But if you want to use Z-Moves, you'll need to learn the Dark Z-Moves. You can search for them online in Alola and practice accordingly."

Mammon said slowly.

As for what Talebagos is, neither Nie Zi nor Mary really understood it, but what they did know was that with Mammon around, it was good that Talebagos could be used here.

"Oh." Nie Zi was stunned as she looked at the Taijing Bead and the Z Bracelet in her hand, and responded blankly.

"Then there's Mega Evolution. Your team doesn't have any main units capable of Mega Evolution, which is indeed a bit of a problem."

Mammon gently toyed with the Mega Evolution Stone in his hand.

"So I'll give you a few options: you can train a new main force that can undergo super evolution."

"To maintain your gym's style, these main units will definitely need to have the Dark type after Mega Evolution."

"Gyarados, Houndoom, Tyranitar, Absol, and Sableye, pick one of these five Pokémon. Don't even consider Sharpedo, it's not suitable."

Mammon held up five fingers, and as for Megalodon, those who know, know.

Nie Zi's eyes instantly cleared up!

He rushed to Mammon with lightning speed, grasped Mammon's hand, and held it up, his eyes filled with fervent sincerity.

"Brother! You're my brother! I want Bangiras! What do you think of Mary's looks? I'll introduce her to you!"
