Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 455 Rockets executives assemble, we're going to war with the league!

Unova area.

"Huh? Touko Touko!"

"What are you doing? Just keep barking. All you do is bark."

Drying her wet hair, Touko came out of the bathroom and said to Mei in an annoyed tone.

"I received a message from the organization, did you?"

Mei walked over with her phone and asked Touko.

"What news? Let me see."

Seeing Mei's expression, Touko picked up her phone, unlocked it, and opened the app. Sure enough, there was a system message in the background.

"Meet in the Kanto region? Hmm..." Touko tilted her head in confusion.

"This is the first time I've received a system message like this, and it's even signed by Mammon, so it must be something very important."

"Touko, do you think it could be?"

Mei blinked, a possibility popping into her head, after all, Mammon had mentioned it to them before.

"Maybe so. Let's book a flight and go tomorrow."

Touko remained silent, drying her hair as she spoke.

Regardless, since it was Mr. Mammon who sent the message, I definitely have to go.

“Great! Guandu, Mammon’s homeland, I’ve wanted to go there for a long time.”

Mei's big eyes sparkled, and she was very impatient.

Such situations occur all over the world.

The next day, World Tree Park.

"Yo~ Zangmarante, looks like you're doing pretty well here."

Mammon greeted Zangmarante, who was lying beside the Tree of Life, with a smile.

Because at this moment, there was a large bowl next to Zangmarante, filled with all kinds of fruit, and in front of him was a specially made large tablet computer, on which a TV series was playing.

The shield dog seemed quite engrossed in watching, occasionally glancing up to bite into a fruit and chew on it with obvious enjoyment.

Zangmarante... seems to have been corrupted by dreams.

Standing next to Mammon, Cangxiang looked at Zangmarante, who had the air of a shut-in, with a rather strange expression.

"Humans, sister, hi~ you're back."

When Zangmarant turned around and saw Mammon and Cangxiang, he raised his right paw and waved it in a very human-like manner, giving them a proper greeting.

Noticing Zamarante's human-like movements, Zaoxiang's expression changed even more.

"Because Lord Zangmarante didn't have much to do on a daily basis at first, I tried letting him watch some TV shows and movies, and he seemed to like it very much."

"It's Rika, dressed in a flower-embroidered kimono, saying softly."

As the manager of Etrian Odyssey, Rika often comes to take care of the Pokémon there.

As for Zangmarante, who was a key target, she naturally had to take special care of her.

Considering that Zamazent is a 'hero' in mythology, and unlike Regigigas, Zamazent does not like to simply lie down and sleep on a daily basis.

Lijia then let Zangmarante try out human entertainment products, and as it turned out, Zangmarante was indeed very interested.

Moreover, unlike Regigigas, Zamazent is not large in size, and it can operate electronic devices with its claws.

So Lijia simply commissioned a large tablet and taught Zangmarante how to use the internet.

"That's right, that's right, this human girl is really nice. Lijia, when will that video game console you mentioned arrive?"

Zangmarante strongly agreed and even asked Lijia a question.

"The manufacturer is still making it to order. I'll urge them to finish it and send it over in the next few days."

"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Lijia." Zangmarante was quite polite. Once the custom-made arcade game console arrived, it would be able to play games with Dream occasionally.

"Please don't be so polite. You helped me before."

Lijia replied with a smile, saying that she really thought Zangmarante was easy to get along with.

Yggdrasil now houses many new wild Pokémon, and conflicts sometimes occur between them.

Landorus is usually helpful, but sometimes Landorus and Affectionate Cloud hide in a corner and get all lovey-dovey, and I can't find them for a while.

But now that there's a new big shot like Zamarante, things are much more convenient. Zamarante doesn't know how to fall in love, and he usually just lies around the Tree of Life.

If things get really bad, just have Zamazenta go over and let it roar to release its pressure. Those noisy Pokémon will immediately quiet down.

"Hey~ that's nothing. By the way, Lijia, we've finished the dragon eye fruit again."

Zangmarante sounded a little embarrassed.

"...I have already sent someone to buy them. Lord Zangmarante, please enjoy them sparingly, as the production of Dragon Eye Fruit is not high and it is quite rare."

Hi~ I'd like to know more.

"That's what you said last time too!"

"Don't be angry. It's just that sometimes when I get engrossed in watching it, I unconsciously take a couple of bites and then finish it in a few bites."

Watching Zamran and Lijia's practiced and natural conversation, Zangxiang fell silent.

It seems like Zangmarante is enjoying life to the fullest.

Afterwards, Mammon wandered around World Tree Paradise for a while before returning to the castle.

"Mammon!"

"Pikachu!"

As soon as I reached the door, I saw Ash running towards me with Pikachu on his shoulder.

"Hey~ Ash, Misty, and Brock, you're here."

Mammon greeted him with a smile and patted Electric Mouse's head.

"I watched your match; you almost won the Quartz Conference."

"Ha~ Still a bit worse than Chi-ge."

Ash touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly, after all, he had lost in the end.

"It's already great to get the runner-up position. The quality of this year's Quartz Conference is much higher than mine."

Mammon patted Ash on the shoulder and then called to the three of them.

"Come on, don't stand at the door, come in first."

They led Ash and his two companions into the castle.

Wow, it's huge!

"Isn't this too luxurious?"

"Did the organization build this itself?"

The three of them looked at the castle's hall, its luxurious, grand, and elegant decor leaving them breathless.

"Yes, this is the organization's headquarters. You can come here to relax if you have nothing to do. The castle has everything."

Mammon said with a smile.

"Awesome~ By the way, Mammon, why did you call me over here?"

Ash asked Mammon.

"There's something important to discuss. I'll tell you the details once everyone else has arrived. I'll show you around the castle first."

Mammon wasn't in a hurry, after all, it would take time for Prandina and the others to arrive.

"Okay."

As afternoon approached, more and more people arrived at the World Tree Castle, and by four o'clock in the afternoon, almost everyone had arrived.

Mammon gathered everyone in the conference room. Luckily, the conference room was big enough, otherwise there might not have been enough room for everyone.

The meeting room was brightly lit. Led by Barbena and Holina, a group of servants entered carrying teacups and poured a cup of tea for each person.

Mammon sat in the main seat, while Lillie stood behind him as his secretary.

Mammon glanced around at everyone present, a slow smile spreading across his face. These people were the future of the Rockets!
Kanto region: Rin, Ash, Isshu, three executives, four generals, three beastmen, Rika, Brock, Misty

Hoenn region: Sisanna, Archie, Red Pine
Sinnoh Region: Cattleya, Plantina, Shinji

Unova region: N, Akromah, Mei, Touko, Duruo, Ukuri, Yuzu, Kiku...

Carlos region: Serena, AZ, Vladali (already persuaded)
Alola region: Mizuki, Gladion, Guzma, Bulmer

Galer Region: Yu, Pione, Mari, Hop, Peter, Nie Zi

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first official meeting of the Rockets. Welcome to all of you."

Mammon smiled and said that Lusamine was not there because her identity was rather special, and she could not participate in the war at the moment.

That's right, strictly speaking, this was the first meeting of the new Rockets.

Everyone present looked at each other and then nodded in a friendly manner.

After all, they usually live in different regions, and this was their first official meeting.

"I'm sure you're all wondering why I've called you all here today. The reason is actually quite simple."

Mammon began speaking slowly and deliberately. The meeting room was quiet, and everyone listened attentively without making a sound.

"A battle that will determine the future of the Rockets is about to begin."

Battle?

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyou and others were quite puzzled. Did the Rockets still have a battle they absolutely had to fight?
"Before introducing this battle, let me first talk about our Rockets' philosophy."

Mammon tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"In my view, the world is never black and white, and the Rockets are just like that. I have never believed that our Rockets are an organization that represents justice."

"The existence of the Rockets is inherently gray."

"My initial intention in leading the Rockets was to clean up the darkness in this world and bring order to the corners that the league couldn't reach."

Mammon's voice reached everyone's ears clearly.

"The League is great. The world needs the Pokémon League because it brings beauty and sunshine to people, can make children positive and uplifting, and can inspire teenagers to embark on their journeys with high expectations and pursue their dreams."

"Therefore, the world needs the Pokémon League, but just as much, the world needs Team Rocket."

Mammon paused.

"The Pokémon League is very gentle, but it is precisely because it is too gentle that so many shadows grow beneath the surface of this beautiful world."

"The league can't control them, it can't eradicate them, but the Rockets can!"

"But precisely because of this, conflict is inevitable."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyou, Xiaogang, and the others were stunned and looked at Mammon in astonishment.

A suspicion had already surfaced in their minds: Could it be?

"I'm sure you've all guessed it."

Mammon's expression had darkened at some point, and his gaze swept over everyone.

"That's right, the opponent in this battle is the Pokémon League!"

The target of this battle is... the Pokémon League?

Mammon's words were like a bomb dropped into water.

"Fight the Pokémon League?"

"Really? Mr. Mammon, you're not joking, are you?"

"This……"

Xiao Zhi, Xiao You, and the others exclaimed in shock.

If it were about fighting evil organizations, they would absolutely not hesitate, or rather, they would be more than happy to do so.

But battling the Pokémon League?!

“This is no joke.” Mammon shook his head.

"The Rockets have developed too well now. Their size is beyond what ordinary organizations can describe. The chairman of Kanto, Damaranchi, actually talked to me a long time ago, but we did not reach an agreement."

Mammon spoke calmly.

"They just want to be recruited," Chi Yansong said calmly, adjusting his glasses.

“Indeed, the organization is too large now, and the League can’t just sit idly by.” Akromar glanced at Ash and the others.

"Even if we have no ambition, the tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease; the alliance cannot simply do nothing about us."

"If they want to fight, then let them fight. If they want to take us down, then let's just send them flying."

Pear Blossom smiled and said, "The battle between the Rockets and the league is really interesting, isn't it?"
"That's right! We're not easy to bully! Let the Alliance taste our power!" Shui Wutong was extremely excited.

"But battling the Pokémon League is something like..."

Ash's face scrunched up. He had absolutely no ill will towards the League. On the contrary, wasn't it the League that maintained the order of this world?
Ash absolutely does not want to fight the League, otherwise he would become a traitor.
“I think… everyone should calm down first, Mr. Mammon. Is fighting really necessary? I don’t think it should have escalated to this point.”

Xiao You's delicate face was filled with conflict at this moment. After hesitating for a moment, she said to Mammon.

She shared the same idea as Ash; she didn't want to go against the League either. She didn't join Team Rocket to get on the wanted list!

She also wants to become the champion of the Galar region!

“Yeah, why would we go to war with the Alliance? I can’t do that.” Hop’s face also scrunched up.

This is not the Rockets team he imagined.

"Listen to me first, all of you," Mammon said helplessly.

Mei and the others remained silent, as they had known about the matter for some time and were willing to stand on Mammon's side.

Therefore, there is naturally no need to say anything.

Ash, Yu, Hop, and the others—Ash doesn't believe the League would do anything bad, and Yu thinks similarly.

"This is not a life-or-death battle, but a battle necessary to ensure the existence of Team Rocket."

Mammon said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyou and the others were taken aback. What did that mean?
"The League wants to make Team Rocket back down, but Team Rocket exists to fill the void left by underground organizations. As long as Team Rocket exists, there will be no place for evil organizations and hunter organizations to survive."

"But the league doesn't think so. They believe the Rockets' existence is unnecessary. But is it really not necessary?"

Mammon's question even made Ash deep in thought.

"Before Team Rocket unified the underworld, no region of the underworld was normal; they were all in chaos, with evil schemers, collectors, Pokémon hunters, and evil organizations running rampant."

"Even in the Galarian region, there are gangster organizations and hunter organizations."

"That's why we have the new Rockets team now."

"The league maintains the positive order of the world, but on the negative side, the Rockets are the most suitable order-keepers!"

Mammon leaned back in his chair, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

"But why can't we communicate and coexist properly with the League?" Misty couldn't help but ask, echoing the thoughts of Ash and Hop.

Xiao Gang's lips twitched. When did Xiao Xia become so stupid? Did she really need to ask such a simple question?
“If communication can solve the problem, no one wants to resort to force to communicate,” Mammon replied directly.

"If we lose this battle, the Rockets will not have the freedom they have now. If we win, the league will completely hand over the underworld to us, and we will have the right to freely try criminals."

“So…” Xiaoyou roughly understood what Mammon meant: “This is actually a competition between the organization and the alliance in a certain sense, and what they are fighting for is the organization’s control over the underworld and some other rights?”

“You can understand it that way,” Mammon nodded.

"Oh, I see." Xiaoyou breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out it wasn't a real war.

"Mr. Mammon, really, what he said at the beginning was quite scary," Xiaoyou complained.

She thought it was really going to be a war with the Pokémon League, so there was no way she would help Team Rocket. Instead of helping the League fight Team Rocket, she would be repaying Team Rocket's kindness.

But after understanding the reason, Xiaoyou became interested.

"Who will the alliance send to fight us?"

“Xiao You, you should ask.” Mammon raised an eyebrow: “Among the strongmen of the alliance, who wouldn’t come?”

"Because this time we are facing the entire Pokémon League."
