Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 451 Zhuo! You really are a Rockets spy!

"Fantastic, absolutely fantastic!"

Mammon clapped his hands and walked over, praising the two women who had finished their battle.

"Hmph~ Of course, don't you know who I am?"

Mizuki stood with her hands on her hips, extremely pleased with herself.

"Mizuki is more capable than me. No wonder she's Mammon's girlfriend."

As Cattleya put it, after this battle, she had truly come to realize Mizuki's special nature.

In just one year, he has already overcome himself. What about next year?
Gadriya felt that even Dante and the others were no match for Mizuki. No, perhaps the word "perhaps" could be removed.

"Miss Cattleya is already very strong. Your level has surpassed that of many regional champions."

Lusamine praised Cattleya, even though she had never seen a battle between champions from other regions.

But it can actually be compared to something else.

Kukui is no match for Mizuki now, and while Kukui's strength is only average among champion-level players, she is still a champion-level player nonetheless.

If Miyuki were to face Kukui now, and the battle went smoothly, she could probably wipe out Kukui's team with just two or three of her main units, and that's a conservative estimate.

“Perhaps,” Cattleya replied calmly.

In fact, without being arrogant, among the many regional champions, Gadria believes that she is only worse than Giovanni and Leon.

Among the organization's top executives, only N can be considered a definite winner over Gadalia. In fact, Sigana and Gadalia are already evenly matched.

After the battle ended, Cattleya and Mizuki tacitly refrained from bringing up the previous "official wife" issue, since Mammon and the others were still present.

"I have some things to do next, so I'll be leaving now."

Lusamine checked the time, gestured for Mammon and the others to continue their conversation, and walked towards the villa's exit, where a helicopter had been prepared in advance.

The Alola League was established in Hauole City, which is now the most prosperous city in the entire Alola region, making it the best location for the League to be established.

As for the summit of Mount Ranakira, that location was actually too high, so after discussing it, Lusamine and the others decided to give up.

By the time Lusamine arrived, almost all of the Alola League's top officials had already gathered.

The Alola Elite Four: Hala, Liz, Acerola, and Kashiri; King of the Islands: Mordan; Queen of the Islands: Happu and Kukui.
"Then tell me, Kukui, what is the reason you requested the gathering today?"

Lusamine sat down in the first seat and looked at Kukui.

This meeting was requested by Kukui, and it is said to be a very important matter.

Kukui stood up, his face very serious.

"Well, the reason I asked everyone to be here today is actually quite simple: Mammon has appeared at the Manaro Arena," Kukui said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Halaliz and the others' expressions changed slightly.

Mammon... that name is certainly not unfamiliar.

"Mammon, the leader of the Rockets? He shouldn't have any connection with us in Alora, right? The Rockets' businesses have been operating normally all along, haven't they?"

Kashili asked, puzzled.

She was called back by Kukui to become one of the Alola Elite Four after her application to join the Alola League was approved, so she wasn't really familiar with the entanglement between Kukui and the others and Team Rocket.

But what she did know was that although Team Rocket was an evil organization before, they had reformed now, right?

"Hmph! That evil scoundrel!"

Liz crossed her arms and snorted coldly. Even now, she still had no goodwill towards Mammon.

After all, the scene of Mammon's sarcastic mockery of her was still vivid in her mind! That was the first time Liz had ever been so despised!

She holds grudges extremely.

"Hmm... Mammons are pretty good, right? Cattleya is a very nice girl too."

Acerola tilted her head and spoke. She had a very good impression of Mammon and Gadriya, and the battle with Gadriya was still fresh in her memory.

After the battle, she added Gadria as a friend and would occasionally share some interesting daily life moments with her.

“Acerola, don’t be fooled by their facade. Mammon is definitely not a good person,” Liz advised patiently.

Acerola gave a blank look, pretending not to understand, letting it go in one ear and out the other.

She remained skeptical of Liz's words, after all, Liz was clearly speaking with prejudice. Everyone has multiple facets, that's true, but Acerola trusted her own eyes and feelings more.

"There's no need to discuss these things further. In short, the Rockets are indeed a legitimate organization now, so there's no need to antagonize them."

Hala shook his head and ended the topic in a calm voice.

They all knew that Liz had a very bad impression of the Rockets, but considering that Liz had indeed been mocked quite harshly by Mammon back then.

So I just went along with her.

"Kukui, you can continue." Hala knew that this wasn't what Kukui wanted to say.

Mammon's coming to Alora is his own business, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, then let him be.

"Well, Mammon isn't the main point. Now that the Rockets have cleared their name, Mammon is also concerned about the impact on the Rockets' reputation."

"Mainly because... Mizuki is Mammon's girlfriend."

Kukui's tone was complex.

"What did you say?"

"is this real?"

"Kukui, this is not something to joke about."

Upon hearing this, Hala and the others' expressions changed. Mizuki was with Mammon?

“I’m not joking. Mizuki has always been Mammon’s girlfriend, and she’s now a top executive on the Rockets. She told me this herself today,” Kukui said in a deep voice.

“This…” Hala fell silent.

"Sigh~" Merdan sighed habitually, rubbing his forehead.

Liz's face was also very pale at the moment, her fingers fidgeting irritably as she gripped her arm.

For these island kings and queens, Mizuki was arguably their most promising junior.

Moreover, they genuinely hope that Mizuki will grow up to become a pillar of Alola.

With Mizuki's talent, she will be able to shoulder the responsibility of leading Alola to prosperity sooner or later.

Hala and the others all thought the same way; the more they interacted with Mizuki, the more they understood this point.

Even though Hala's grandson, Hau, is now a champion, the gap between Hau and Mizuki is far more exaggerated than imagined.

Hau struggles to defeat Kukui, while Kukui can be easily defeated by Mizuki. The difference in strength is obvious.

Hara and the others dared not imagine how powerful Mizuki would become if she grew for another year.

The meeting room fell silent.

Kashiri, Hapuu, and the others were somewhat puzzled and confused as to why Kukui and the others were reacting so strongly to Mizuki being Mammon's girlfriend.

"So, if Mizuki becomes the champion, then the champion of our region is actually a top executive of the Rockets?"

Lusamine clasped her hands together, resting them on her chin, and pointed out Kukui and the others' concerns incisively.

"The champion who stood at the pinnacle of Alora, yet was merely a member of the Rockets' management team... If this got out..."

Hala's old face was all wrinkled with worry.

If word gets out about this, how will the Alora region ever be able to hold its head high in the world again?
"But there's nothing we can do about it, right? Mizuki is bound to win, and we can't possibly be her match."

Acerola spoke up, seemingly innocently.

The meeting room became even quieter.

This is an unavoidable fact, because Mizuki is currently the strongest in the Alola region, and no one can defeat her.

If Mizuki participates in the Alola Tournament, she will definitely win the championship, and then she can challenge the Alola Elite Four and become the Alola Champion.

Even Kukui is no match for Mizuki, so how can the Elite Four stop Mizuki from reaching the top?

"So, are you going to disqualify Mizuki from the competition?"

Lusamine looked around and suggested a solution that no one else was willing to mention.

"First, let me share my thoughts." Rosamune's long, slender, fair fingers tapped lightly on the conference room table.

"I don't think it's feasible to disqualify Mizuki from the competition. First of all, we have no reason to disqualify a trainer who has already participated in the Island Tour."

"Secondly, the Rockets are not an evil organization. If we prevent her from competing and winning the championship just because of her identity, our reputation in Alora will be completely ruined."

"Lusamine said calmly."

"If the Rockets just casually publicize this, no matter how we in the Alola League explain it, we will only be 'attacked' by other regions, and we have no reason to refute it."

Yes, that's why Kukui and the others didn't make that suggestion.

Because they have no reason to disqualify a legitimate competitor from participating.

"Why do you think that way?" Acerola tilted her head cutely as always: "Team Rocket isn't actually bad. They helped the Carlos League defeat Team Flare in the Carlos region and were praised by the Carlos League."

"He also helped the Galarian region defeat the resurrected 'Dark Night,' and Mammon is now revered as a 'hero' in the Galarian region."

Upon hearing Acerola's words, Liz opened her mouth, looking at the cute girl who resembled a loli.

Damn it! We have a traitor among us!

Is this girl a Rockets mole? Why is she speaking up for the Rockets like this?
“I don’t understand.” Acerola slowly took a sip of water.

"Even though our regional champion is just one of the Rockets' top executives, so what? Why do people think it's shameful?"

Acerola's doubts reached everyone's ears.

“Isn’t this shameful?” Liz was the first to retort.

"Our region's top trainer is just an officer in Team Rocket. What does that mean?"

This means that the trainers in their Alola region can't even beat one of Team Rocket's executives!

“Yes, but isn’t that the truth?” Acerola looked at Liz, puzzled.

Lizhi was taken aback.

"Is it because Mizuki can beat all of us, because she is stronger than all of us, that she is the Alola Champion? Does that necessarily have anything to do with whether she is a member of Team Rocket?"

“Regional champions have always been the strong who rise to the top. We all know Mizuki’s strength and talent. Why should everyone reject her from becoming our champion just because of her status?”

Acerola is still unleashing her attacks; she just can't stop.

"I heard that the requirement for the top executives of the Rockets is to become a champion. There's nothing shameful about that, right? Or maybe because of Mizuki's special status, we can attract more tourists from other regions who have a good impression of the Rockets?"

"Besides, if anyone questions the Alola Champion's strength, why not let him challenge Mizuki? Mizuki is so strong, she'll become a world champion sooner or later, isn't that inevitable?"

The meeting room fell silent again.

Even Liz was speechless, because she really didn't know how to refute it. In the end, what she disliked was Mizuki's status as a Rockets executive.

"Ahem~ I think Acerola makes a good point, and... we didn't have any other options anyway."

Merdan coughed twice and spoke first. As Acerola's 'guardian', he naturally stood on Acerola's side.

“I have no objection either. Like Acerola said, this might not be a bad thing.” Hala also raised his hand in agreement.

"What are you all thinking? The Alola region champion is a Team Rocket executive? How can you all agree to such an absurd thing?!"

Liz was extremely irritable, but at this moment she was just venting her frustration.

Because deep down she knew that there were no other options at all.

“I agree. Mizuki… is the most suitable champion for Alola,” Kukui sighed.

Kashiri and the others nodded silently.

"You will definitely regret this!"

Liz snorted and declared again that when Mizuki's identity was exposed, Liz believed that someone would definitely use it to attack the Alola League.

"Alright, Queen Lizhi, calm down."

Lusamine offered a word of advice, a little annoyed. Liz had always been so sensitive about matters concerning the Rockets.

"Well then, President, there's one more thing!"

Acerola raised her right hand; due to her height, her petite figure appeared rather small compared to Hala and Kashiri on either side.

"Does Acerola have any other suggestions?"

Lusamine's tone softened considerably; she now found Acerola pleasing to the eye no matter what! She even wanted to adopt her as her goddaughter!

"Well, Gadria invited me to join Team Rocket as a senior executive, and I'm quite interested in joining. I'm just reporting to you now."

Acerola has a very sweet and lovely smile.

Upon hearing this, Lusamine was taken aback, and Kukui and the others also looked at Acerola in surprise. Not sisters?
So all that you just said was a setup for this sentence?
Kukui and the others had very complicated expressions on their faces.

Wow! He really is a 'traitor'!
Lizhi had an "I knew it" look on her face; she had noticed something was off about this seemingly harmless little girl earlier that day.

She really was the Rockets' mole planted long ago!
