Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 432 I Want to Be the Champion! Mr. Mammon Has a Reward
Shuizhou Town.

Although Shuizhou Town is now completely overcrowded, finding a restaurant to eat at shouldn't be a problem.

Mammon originally wanted to choose the seafood restaurant that Loz had taken them to last time, but he gave up after hearing that the line might be two hours long.

The large-scale 'invasion' of indigenous people from Quanjie City has actually benefited Mizushu Town, at least in that all industries have seen a boom.

After dinner, Hop insisted on sparring with Plantina and Serena, something Mammon was quite interested in.

There are simply too many people in Shuizhou Town now, and there are hardly any available training grounds.

So the group arrived outside Shuizhou Town, where there happened to be a beautiful lake in the distance.

"Hey! Great, my first game as a Rockets officer!"

Hop was in high spirits and full of fighting spirit. He loved battling Pokémon and could spar with his fellow Team Rocket officers.

This made Hep very happy.

"Salina, don't hold back! I'm very strong!"

Hep shouted at his opponent, Serena, his expression full of excitement.

Hop had high expectations for this peer from Carlos, especially since Mr. Mammon had said that Serena was very skilled.

However, Hop remained confident in himself; he was determined to surpass Leon!

"Don't worry, I will do my best."

Serena removed her pink hat and tied up her long hair, showing her serious attitude towards the battle.

Hep didn't know this was Serena's habit, and just blinked.

Well, he had to admit, he found Serena's gesture surprisingly charming, and he felt that Serena was one of the most beautiful girls he had ever seen.

very beautiful.

However, Pokémon battles aren't about looks. Being pretty doesn't necessarily mean being strong.

Hop has no interest in women; his number one idol is Leon, and he resolutely inherited Leon's will.

Women? They'll only become stepping stones on his path to power!
Sonia served as the referee for this sparring match and announced the rules of the match.

"Ha~ That's perfect."

Hop looked excited, gave a cool fist bump in front of him, and then threw his first Poké Ball with force.

This is Hop's idea to make Pokémon battles more exciting: the way you throw the Poké Ball has to be cool!
"This was my first Pokémon!"

"Woolfish sheep!"

A flash of white light appeared, and a white sheep with two long horns landed in front of Hop.

It is the evolved form of the Woolstätten, the Woolhorn sheep with normal attributes.

"Wool-horned sheep."

Serena sized up the woolly sheep. It was a normal woolly sheep; she wondered what its characteristics were.

Serena carefully studied all the Pokémon Pokédex entries and memorized most of the Pokémon and their abilities.

Woolly has a special ability called "Fluffy," which halves the damage from contact moves, but is extremely effective against Fire-type moves.

In other words, this characteristic makes Wooloo weak to fire, but all contact moves will be ineffective.

Overall, this is a positive feature, since the range of contact moves is very broad. Any close-range move can be included in the contact move category, but the cost is weakness to fire.

This is definitely a huge profit, since Wooloo is a Normal-type Pokémon, and its only weakness is Fighting-type. Even if it has multiple weaknesses, it's not a big deal.

"Wooloo is my starter Pokémon, the Pokémon I trust the most!"

Hep smiled warmly and spoke with pride.

That's right. Although he and Xiaoyou set off on the same day and received their starter Pokémon on the same day, his starter Pokémon was Wooloo.

"I see. Then I'll use my starter Pokémon to fight."

Serena's usually serious and delicate face broke into a smile, a result of being infected by Hepna's warm and cheerful mood.

"Koga Ninja!"

Greninja landed gracefully from the air, straightened up, crossed its arms, and calmly stared at the Woolhorn.

"Wow~ The Greninja from the Kalos region? It's so cool!"

Hop's eyes lit up; this was the first time he had ever seen a Greninja.

How should I put it? I feel like he's even more handsome than my own Thousand Faces Heroine.

"Thank you."

Being praised by an opponent naturally makes one feel much better, even for Serena.

"Such a cool Pokémon must be really strong, so let's get our spirits up, Wooloo!"

Hep was overflowing with passion; you could completely feel his boiling blood at that moment.

"What~"

The woolly horned sheep responded to Hep with a low bleating.

The two on the field began their battle, and Mammon and the others watching couldn't help but laugh.

"That Hep is really 'eloquent'."

Mammon looked at Hop and saw Ash's shadow in the boy.

If it were Ash and Hop, they would definitely have a lot in common.

"Hmm~ It would be really interesting to fight against Hop." Plantina blinked her bright eyes and voiced her thoughts.

Hep is cheerful and enthusiastic, and she genuinely and unconsciously praises others, saying things that make them feel good.

Playing against an opponent like that would certainly be a great experience.

“That’s just how Hep is.” Sonia said, hands on her hips, but her gaze was more focused on Serena.

Although the battle had only just begun, Greninja on the field had already outmaneuvered Wooloo several times with its agile movements and swift actions.

"This girl is amazing." Sonia had already sensed that.

"Of course, Serena is the best trainer in the Kalos region this generation, without a doubt."

Mammon casually replied that while Hop was also a genius trainer, he couldn't even beat Yu at this stage, let alone Serena, who was currently dominating Yu. There was no other possible outcome for this battle.

"The best rookie trainer in the Kalos region?" Sonia was taken aback.

No, how could the most outstanding newcomer in the Carlos region be following Mammon?
But soon, Sonia thought of Xiaoyou, her pretty face showing a strange expression.

If Serena is Carlos's most outstanding newcomer, then Yu is undoubtedly their Galarian's most outstanding newcomer.

But didn't Xiaoyou also join the Rockets?

That's right, Sonia also has Xiaoyou as a friend, so she also saw the 'official announcement'.

Mr. Mammon...

Just then, footsteps suddenly came. Mammon turned around and saw a young woman dressed in revealing clothing.

She had a healthy tan, a tall and slender figure, and was wearing shorts and a tank top, exposing a large area of ​​her healthy skin.

Her face was delicate and serene, and her long hair, reaching her hips, was styled very smoothly.

"Lurina".

Sonia seemed to recognize the woman and waved to her.

Mammon looked at Lulina and had to admit that although her skin wasn't as fair and delicate as a normal girl's, Lulina's healthy wheat-colored skin did not detract from her beauty at all.

Especially with Lulina's standard model figure.

"Sonia, what's going on here?"

Lurina walked over with her signature cat-like gait. Besides being the Gym Leader of Waterloo Town, she is also a very popular model.

"Hopp is sparring with a girl. Oh, and this is Mr. Mammon, the leader of Team Rocket. These two are Gadria and Plantina."

“Mr. Mammon, this is Lurina, the Gym Leader of Waterfowl Town. Isn’t she beautiful? The most beautiful woman in Waterfowl Town.”

Sonia gave a brief introduction to both parties.

The leader of the Rockets?

Upon hearing this, Lulina looked at Mammon with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. In fact, all the gym leaders had already received notification from the Galar League about Team Rocket's entry into the Galar region.

However, the Galar Alliance's message was that they shouldn't worry about it and should let the Rockets develop as they saw fit, and it would be best to avoid any conflict.

"Hello, Miss Lurina, I've heard a lot about you before."

"Thank you, Mr. Mammon is truly remarkable. To lead an organization like Team Rocket at such a young age is truly remarkable."

Lurina grasped Mammon's outstretched hand, her tone remaining relatively calm.

This is her consistent style, but Lulina's nickname is 'Stormy Waves' because of the strong and competitive heart beneath her calm exterior.

Mammon smiled slightly and continued watching the battle between Hop and Serena.

Lurina didn't continue the conversation. As a gym leader, Lurina was also a trainer who longed to become stronger.

So when there are no challengers, they are almost always training. Lulina had just returned from special training and unexpectedly saw Mammon and the others on the way.

The battle continues, but it's clear that the outcome is predictable.

Although it did defeat Greninja in the end, Hop still fell to Serena's second main Pokémon, Jolteon.

"Wow! That's too strong! That's just too strong!"

Hep appeared utterly exhausted, covered in sweat, but his eyes shone like brilliant stars, brimming with excitement.

He had given it his all, but Serena defeated all his Pokémon with just two of her main Pokémon.

This... is even stronger than Xiaoyou!

"Salina, you are absolutely amazing!"

"Thank you, Hep, you're not bad either. I was just lucky this time."

Serena loosened her long, upright hair, put on a pink bowler hat, and regained her elegant and beautiful girlish demeanor.

"No, it's just that you, Serena, are much better than me."

But Hop shook his head seriously, facing the gap between himself and Serena squarely.

"But I won't give up! When I become stronger, Serena, come and fight me again, okay?"

"We're all colleagues, so of course we can have a friendly competition if we want to learn from each other."

Serena smiled and did not refuse.

Moreover, no one would dislike someone as sincere and enthusiastic as Hop.

"Great!"

Hep clenched his fist, brimming with energy.

"Huh? Master Lulina."

After the initial excitement subsided, Hep immediately spotted Lurina, whose appearance was undeniably striking.

It wasn't just because of her beauty and slender figure; another reason was that she was wearing really little clothing...

"Long time no see, Hop." Lurina naturally remembered this challenger who had once challenged her gym.

After exchanging greetings, Lulina looked at Serena, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

What a strong girl!
"Speaking of which, the Champions Cup is just around the corner, isn't it? Miss Lurina and Hop will both be participating. Are you confident?"

Mammon smiled and asked Hop and Lurina.

The Galar Championship is a competition between Galar Gym Leaders and Gym Challengers, with the final winner able to challenge Leon.

"Hmm~ This is a bit difficult, but I'll try my best!" Hop scratched his head.

Even he knew that with his current skill level, he really had no confidence.

Lulina shook her head, the meaning of which was self-evident.

“Mr. Mammon, the Lunar Grand Tournament is starting next month. Once things are settled in Galilee, I want to return to Carlos to participate.”

Serena suddenly spoke up.

Furthermore, Diantha sent her a message saying that she had found the whereabouts of that mythical Pokémon.

Serena is preparing to catch that Steel-type Mythical Pokémon before the Luna Rescue Tournament!
In that case, she might catch up with Hikaru!
Moreover, she wants to defeat Miss Karuno and become the Carlos Champion!
