Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 456 Let's fight together for Team Rocket! For a better tomorrow!

"Fight the Alliance..."

After the meeting, they arrived at the castle room prepared by Mammon. Ash's expression remained extremely subtle.

Although I roughly understand the background and consequences of Team Rocket's battle against the Pokémon League, well...

"It still feels really strange. If this is the case, am I still considered a League Trainer?"

Xiao Zhi grabbed his hair, his mind a complete mess.

Pikachu stood on the desk, holding an apple, tilting its head to look at its trainer, and slowly took a bite, chewing it with relish.

"Idiot, of course it can't be counted." Xiaoxia rolled her eyes.

"They've already gone out into battle against the league, how could they still be considered league trainers?"

"Huh? That makes sense. Ugh, I'm so annoyed."

Ash was in a real bind. Although Mammon said at the end of the meeting that it was up to them whether to participate in the battle, he respected their choice.

but……

Ash was incredibly conflicted. Emotionally, he still really liked Team Rocket, and Mammon had been so good to him. Yet, in this life-or-death situation, he backed down and didn't help Team Rocket.

It's really hard for Ash to do something like this.

But if he participates in this battle as a member of Team Rocket, wouldn't he be going against the Kanto League in a sense?
How is he going to face Professor Oak and Red after this?

The Kanto Alliance will definitely summon Red Guy, right?

Wouldn't that mean he'd end up on the battlefield with his own brother, now on opposing sides?
Blanch!
"Aaaaaah! Xiaoxia, Xiaogang, please help me think of something! What should I do?"

Ash collapsed onto the bed and began to roar in battle; he had absolutely no idea what to choose.

"How would I know? I don't even know what to do myself," Xiaoxia said, sitting on the stool, holding her phone and pouting.

Because right now, there's a special, large-scale mission in the Rockets app that can only be seen by high-ranking officers and above. That's right!
It's a legendary large-scale mission!
Legendary Large-Scale Dungeon: Golden City!

Xiaoxia looked at the large task with great hesitation. After clicking on it, she found a 'Participate' option.

This is the first time she's encountered a 'major mission'! You have to know that Team Rocket has only had a handful of major missions to date.

Moreover, this is a 'legendary' large-scale mission, the highest-level large-scale mission ever seen.

Xiao Gang squinted, also looking at the large task on his phone.

Especially for those at the bottom, as long as they participate in the mission, they are guaranteed a reward of at least 10,000 merit points.

The minimum guarantee is 10,000!
If we can earn some more merits, wouldn't this mission bring in tens of thousands of merit points?!

A glint of light flashed in Xiao Gang's eyes.

"First of all, we need to understand the nature of this battle between the Rockets and the league."

The man with narrowed eyes calmly put away his phone and looked at Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi, speaking solemnly.

"What kind of situation?" Xiao Zhi was taken aback. "Um, didn't Mammon mention during the meeting that it was about fighting for some rights or something..."

"It's Team Rocket's right to exist, and the right to judge criminals." Misty glanced at Ash with disdain.

"You idiot, Ash, were you even listening at all during the meeting?"

"Of course I listened, but I just couldn't explain it right away," Xiao Zhi retorted, unconvinced.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing. Now that we understand the nature of this battle, which side do you think is right, the Rockets or the league?"

Xiao Gang, having no other choice, calmed the two down and asked again.

"This……"

Xiaoxia and Xiaogang exchanged a glance. Xiaozhi was conflicted, while Xiaoxia hesitated, unsure whether to speak.

"Okay, let me ask you another way. Is the Rockets wrong? Does it have any reason to exist?" Xiao Gang asked when the two of them didn't answer for a while.

"How should I put it? The old Team Rocket was definitely bad, but the current Team Rocket... isn't an evil organization, and hasn't it been doing good deeds all along?"

Xiao Zhi scratched the back of his head and spoke his mind.

"Yes, we've all experienced this firsthand since we joined Team Rocket. Team Rocket is actually a legitimate organization, although... its methods can be a bit brutal in some aspects, but it is indeed maintaining order in the underworld."

Xiao Gang nodded, and the brutality he mentioned referred to the methods used against evil people.

The league would only put the bad guys in jail, but the Rockets would "reform them through labor," for example, by making them work in factories, or, in more serious cases, by sending them to mine coal.

how to say?

Xiao Gang initially felt that this was a bit wrong, that it didn't respect humanitarianism, that it forced others to work without paying them, but after participating in a small task, Xiao Gang felt that it was actually quite necessary.

Those heartless people, you can really go even further with them!

"This is also the difference between the Rockets and the league, and it's what Mammon said: the other side of the world needs an organization like the Rockets." Xiaoxia deeply agreed.

"Since the Rockets are right, isn't it obvious how we should choose?" Xiao Gang said again.

"Xiao Gang, do you mean we'll help the Rockets fight against the league?"

Xiao Gang's meaning was already very clear, but Xiao Zhi was still a little hesitant.

"But if we do that, what about our family back home..."

"Ash, we're adults now. We have the right to make the choices we believe are right, and we're actually free trainers now," Brock said earnestly.

“I am not the gym leader of Pewter City now, and Misty has not yet taken over the Cerulean City gym. As for you, you are only the runner-up of the Indigo League and are not a member of the League.”

"Of course, whether or not to participate in this battle is your own decision. What I want to say is to follow your heart and not ignore your inner voice because of concerns."

Hearing Xiaogang's words, Xiaozhi fell into deep thought, his inner voice echoing...

"I... really like Team Rocket! I don't want this righteous Team Rocket to disappear!"

Ash raised his head and said firmly, "Yes, he actually really likes Team Rocket now."

I like the Rockets' philosophy, I like my colleagues on the Rockets, and I like the atmosphere on the Rockets.

"Xiaoxia and Xiaogang, let's sign up together to fight for Team Rocket!" Ash regained his old passion.

"Fight for a better tomorrow!"

It's just an alliance! Let's do it!
The Rockets fight against the strong and help the weak, the Rockets are great!

The League wants to destroy Team Rocket! The League is evil! "Okay! Then I'll sign up too. I wonder if my three older sisters will also participate in this battle." Xiaoxia responded very boldly.

"What about you, Xiao Gang?" Xiao Zhi smiled.

"I registered ten minutes ago," Xiao Gang said calmly.

"???"

Ash looked at Brock with a puzzled expression. Their conversation hadn't even started ten minutes ago, had it?

In another room, Galer's small group was gathered.

"In conclusion, I want to participate."

Mary gave a detailed analysis of the conflict between the Rockets and the league, and elaborated on the Rockets' strengths before calmly expressing her own stance.

“I share the same thoughts as Mary.” Nie Zi naturally supported Mary.

“I think Mr. Mammon makes a lot of sense. The world needs organizations like Team Rocket that can maintain the underworld. That’s the right thing to do.”

Nie Zi added a sentence.

In reality, this brother and sister have been guiding these Galarian 'compatriots' both openly and secretly.

As for helping the Rockets compete against the league? Nie Zi and her brother have absolutely no qualms about it; the Rockets are their true home!

Alliance? I'm not familiar with that.

"Hmm... I'll participate too. I think the Rockets did nothing wrong. It's wrong to prevent the Rockets from existing."

Hep quickly made his choice, believing that right is right and wrong is wrong, and that the league had been too domineering in this matter.

What's wrong with the Rockets?

“I think so too, what about Uncle Pioni?” Xiaoyou nodded in agreement and looked at Pioni.

"Hahaha~ The Rockets pay my salary, of course I'm on the boss's side," Pioney laughed.

He had already left the Galar League, and because he was the manager of the Galar Rockets, he now held a very high position in the Galar region.

Then everyone looked at the handsome white-haired boy in the corner.

"Peter?"

"Hmph~ Boss Mammon saved me from that old hag, there's no need to choose, I'm definitely on Boss Mammon's side and will help him defeat the Alliance!"

Peter snorted and raised his chin arrogantly.

"Everyone is really motivated, that's great! Being able to face off against the Pokémon League head-on is something that has never happened since the League was founded, right?"

Shakoya, standing next to Pione, touched her lips, a hint of envy in her eyes.

Unfortunately, her strength was average, so she couldn't be of much help in this kind of battle.

"Little Dandan, what about you? Do you want to participate in this mission?"

Pione, however, looked to the other side, where a slender girl wearing a gray hoodie and carrying an Eevee-style bag stood.

Her name is Peony, and she is Pione's second daughter.

She was originally studying at Orange Academy in the Galarian region, but because it was nearing the end of the year, she returned to Galarian.

As a result, Pione and Shako persuaded him to bring him to Kanto headquarters.

Peony never expected that in just one year, her father and sister would become members of the Rockets.

Especially her father. When he first returned to Galer, Peony was shocked. His formal appearance in a suit and tie really seemed like her father, not her uncle.
Moreover, her older sister, Xia Keya, also became a senior executive at the alpaca company, leaving Mudan completely bewildered.

"Me?" Uncharacteristically ignoring Pione's embarrassing nickname, Botan hesitated.

Actually, she didn't really want to get involved in this, since it involved fighting against the League. Besides, Nemo had previously gone to the Hoenn League to help deal with Team Rocket, whose reputation hadn't changed yet.

So, Nemo and Xiaoqing might participate in this battle of Kanto.

In that case, wouldn't she have to fight her best friend on the battlefield? That's too bizarre.

"Come on, Dandan, just consider it helping your dad out. Besides, the Rockets are a legitimate and righteous organization. What the league did is unreasonable."

Pioneer noticed Peony's dilemma, assuming his daughter was just introverted, and asked her for help.

"That's...ok."

Feeling the encouraging gazes from her father and her older sister beside her, Mudan had no choice but to reluctantly agree in a low voice.

"Hahaha~ I knew my darling daughter would side with her dad. I'll send a message to the boss right now and have him promote you to top-level executive!"

Pioni let out his signature hearty laugh again and patted Peony on the shoulder.

That's right, although Peony's lineup is rather unique, she is indeed a champion-level trainer!

Yes, Peony really likes Eevee, so her team is also an Eevee team, with all the main characters being various Eevee evolutions.

“…” Peony pursed her lips and fell silent.

I can only pray that Xiaoqing and Nimo don't come, and even if they do, I hope we don't run into each other, otherwise it would be too awkward.

On the other hand, Mei and Kurumi's small group in Unova goes without saying.

They firmly believe that the Rockets are righteous. Having been the Rockets for so long, how could they not know whether the Rockets are evil or not?

The Pokémon League has clearly lost its mind to even consider eliminating Team Rocket; this needs serious correction!

Time flew by and the next day arrived.

Mammon led Cattleya and Plantina to the Silver Corporation headquarters building in Golden City.

"Mr. Mammon, what are we doing here?"

Prantina was a little confused. Shouldn't they be preparing for the upcoming big battle against the league?

"Xiao Guang, a great battle also needs a good enough stage, and we also need to give the alliance a reasonable way to start the war."

Mammon's lips slowly curled into a smile.

Prantina blinked. She understood the logic, but what did this have to do with Silver Company?
"Let's go, I'm sure President Silver is getting a little impatient."
