Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 458: Will we win against the Rockets? Probably, right?
There were quite a few people standing in front of the Alliance Building on Quartz Plateau at this moment.

"I never expected this day to come so soon."

Daigo remarked with such emotion.

"I still don't understand why we have to fight Team Rocket. Is there some misunderstanding here?"

Beside Daigo, a slender and youthful girl was frowning and muttering.

That's right, it's Xiaoyao.

Xiaoyao still had a good impression of Team Rocket. Back when she met Mammon and his friends, didn't Mammon and his friends capture a member of Team Magma?

Later, after seeing Mammon's interview video, Xiaoyao admired and longed for Mammon even more. Speaking of which, she was a member of the Mammon support group in Hoenn online, and she had argued with many haters for Mammon.

Well, it's worth mentioning that her online name on the forum was 'My dad isn't the king of taking leave'.

“Xiaoyao, you are still young. It’s normal that you can’t see through Mammon, who is so good at disguising evil.”

Mikoli spoke earnestly to Xiaoyao.

He had high hopes for May, believing that she was the future of their Hoenn region, given her exceptional talent.

Although May lost the final championship challenge, it was because her opponent was Daigo, and this was only May's first year on her journey.

With another year of growth next year, Michael believes that Goku will definitely be no match for Haruka.

"Yes, yes, yes." Xiaoyao rolled her eyes; she was already used to Mikoli's 'smearing' of Mammon.

I don't know why, but Senior Mikuri seems to dislike Mammon.

Haruka secretly asked Daigo, but Daigo's strange expression told her not to worry about it. As long as the topic of Mammon wasn't brought up, Michael was normal.

Beside the three, Kamishiro stood silently with his arms crossed.

"Zhu Lan has arrived."

A moment later, Mikoli's eyes lit up.

"Zhulan!"

"Mikeli, Daigo, and Shinji, it's been a long time."

Compared to Daigo's group of four, Takeran is not alone; she has a blond boy by her side.

At this moment, the boy looked at Steven and Wallace with great excitement. They were the two champions of the Hoenn region, one after the other.

His name is Ah Xun.

"Huh? Zhu Lan, where's that girl? The one who participated in the Four Heavenly Kings challenge, I think her name is Plantina, right?"

Mikoli asked Rosamund Plum curiously. He had followed the Lily of the Valley Tournament. The boy next to Rosamund Plum was the runner-up of the tournament, and he lost to the blue-haired girl in the final.

Finally, it was Plantina's turn to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings. Although she ultimately lost to Rin, the girl displayed remarkable strength.

“Xiao Guang…” Zhu Lan’s face showed a hint of helplessness when she mentioned Plantina.

"Xiao Guang joined the Rockets! Seriously, they should be fined."

Ah Xun, standing to the side, pouted and said with great dissatisfaction.

Of course, what angered him more than his dissatisfaction was that he learned during the Lily of the Valley tournament that Plenty had joined Team Rocket and made a lot of money after joining!

Why didn't you invite him to such a good thing?
Yes, as a childhood friend who grew up in Twinleaf Town with Prandina, he was furious!
"I see, I heard..."

Michael was taken aback by what he heard, then glanced around, quietly preparing to say something.

It's not surprising that the winner of the Lily of the Valley Conference in Sinnoh is a Team Rocket executive.

As far as Mikuri knows, it's not just Sinnoh!

But before Mikkelsen could speak, Alder and Dante had already walked over from a short distance away.

It was clear that Aldak looked unwell, holding D'Antoni's hand and pouring out his grievances, as if he were complaining about something.

Emperor Dan also wore a bitter expression and sighed repeatedly.

Beside the two, Karuno, carrying a bag, looked completely calm.

"Look, these are the real victims."

Mikoly pouted. Although it was very unethical, seeing the expressions on Aldak and Dante's faces, he really wanted to laugh, you bastards.

"..."

Daigo and Ran both had strange expressions.

If we're talking about hardship, these people have truly suffered.

"It is said that the successor that Leon has his eye on, as well as his younger brother, have both joined Team Rocket."

"Mikoli said in a low voice."

"Then, the senior Aldebaran, Ms. Caruno, and Alola are even more heavyweights."

Can't it be considered heavyweight?
In other regions, such as Sinnoh in Cynthia and Galarian in Leon, at most the favored heirs have run away.

But for Adek and Karuno, the champion has run away!
Why didn't the champions from United Volleyball Team and Carlos come? The reasons are obvious to those who know, and it's really nerve-wracking.

"Only Padiya is considered to have 'escaped unscathed,' the Rockets haven't been there yet."

Teacher DaMi couldn't help but sigh, "Of all the regions, it seems that only Padiya hasn't suffered from the Rockets' 'poisonous hands'."

If this year lasts another month or two, Mikoli thinks Padia will definitely not be at peace.

"Ran-senpai! Daigo-senpai! Michael-senpai!"

A lively girl's shouts rang out from not far away, and a wheat-skinned girl wearing the Orange Academy uniform ran over.

"Nemo~ It's been a long time."

Zhu Lan turned her head and saw Nemo. A smile appeared on her face.

She had a good impression of Nemo; the girl was very enthusiastic and driven.

"Hehe~ Long time no see!" Nemo flashed a bright white smile, beaming with joy.

Behind her were Padiya Champion Yeci and a girl with braids, also wearing a school uniform.

It was Xiaoqing who defeated Nemo in this year's Tabletop Tournament and finally successfully challenged the Padilla League, becoming Padilla's new champion trainer.

Before long, Sakaki personally came out to greet the guests from various regions. After everyone had arrived, he led them to the lecture hall.

As for why he didn't go to the meeting room?

Hmm, there's not enough room.

Dama Lanqi stepped onto the stage, his gaze sweeping over everyone below, a surge of pride rising within him.

This is the foundation of the Pokémon League today!

He suddenly realized that he might have a chance against the Rockets in this final showdown, because there were just too many championship contenders in the league!
Kanto region: Giovanni, Wataru, Kikuko, Shiba, Lorelei, Crimson, Blue, Silver, Azure, Hibiki

Fengyuan area: Daiwu, Xiaoyao, Mikeli, Jindai

Sinnoh region: Cynthia, Azkaban

Unova Region: Adekel, Iris
Carlos Region: Karuno

Alora region: Kukui, Hau

Galil region: Dante, Chibana, Mashde
Padiya region: Yeci, Xiaoqing, Nimo

More than twenty champion-level trainers, more than twenty!

It's worth mentioning, however, that the champions from three regions did not attend.

Dama Lanqi naturally knew the reason, but this was something that couldn't be discussed openly right now, even though everyone present knew perfectly well what was going on.

Damaran's pre-battle declaration was actually quite brief. After Damaran finished speaking, Officer Jenny took the stage; she was the true commander-in-chief of this battle.

"Then I'll get straight to the point. What we can confirm right now is that the battle is taking place in Goldenrod City. Team Rocket has already taken the president of Silver Corporation hostage, so the center of the battle is the Silver Corporation building."

Officer Jenny said succinctly.

“Miss Officer Jenny, may I ask you something?” Haruka raised her hand decisively. “Sure.”

"Why did the Rockets kidnap President Silver?" Xiaoyao asked, puzzled.

“The reason is currently unknown, but what is certain is that this matter is true,” Officer Jenny replied.

Xiaoyao nodded and sat down.

"Actually, President Silver's situation isn't important. The Rockets won't hurt him. What's important is this battle. We need to settle things with the Rockets."

"So the key point is the current strength of the Rockets."

"Junsha.Mio said calmly."

Is the president of Silver not important?

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao, Nimo, and the others were taken aback. Wasn't this battle supposed to be about rescuing President Silver?
"I will explain the specifics later. For now, let's identify the opponent's main combat strength."

Officer Jenny noticed Haruka and the others' gazes and replied.

"First and foremost is the Rockets' boss, Mammon, who is the key to the Rockets' current rise."

A close-up photo of Mammon appeared on the big screen, and next to the photo were his usual main Pokémon.

"If we can't defeat this man, then we can't win this battle!"

"His own combat power has reached the level of a top champion. Most importantly, he has several mythical Pokémon in his possession."

Officer Mio said solemnly.

"Then there are the Rockets' top executives. According to current intelligence, the Rockets' top executives have reached double digits, all of whom are championship-caliber."

As Officer Jenny shook the control stick in her hand, the screen switched to another image.

"Cattleya, Sigana, N, Akromma, Gladion, Plantina, Mei, Touko, Serena, Doraku, Uri, Mizuki, Pione..."

Officer Jenny introduced them one by one.

"and many more."

Suddenly, Qinglu, the spiky-haired boy who had been sitting with his legs crossed, exclaimed in surprise.

"Miss Officer Jenny, if I remember correctly, Mei, Serena, and Mizuki, these are the regional champions of the League, right?"

The green questions fell silent in the lecture hall.

Alice clicked her tongue as she looked at the screen. Mei and Touko were both people she was on good terms with, as was Du Ruo.

Duro is Shaka's grandson! Alice was originally brought back to Unova from Dragon Village by Shaka.

So she naturally knows Du Ruo. If Xia Ka knew that Du Ruo was actually standing on the side of the Rockets and going against the league, I wonder what Xia Ka's expression would be.
Alice blinked.

Adele, Karuno, and Kukui remained silent. How to put it? It was quite awkward.

“That’s right, but this time, they’re on Team Rocket’s side,” Officer Jenny replied calmly.

Tsk~
Qinglu clicked her tongue and didn't say anything more.

What else can be said? Even the regional league champions have gone to the Rockets' side to go against the league.

Although Qinglu really wanted to ask more questions, he was still intelligent; he was arrogant, but not an idiot.

Continuing to press for answers in this situation could really cause problems.

"All the top officers of the Rockets that we know so far are here. You can write them down. Of course, there may be some top officers who have not yet been registered by us."

"In short, if you encounter them on the battlefield, please be careful. If you can capture them, that would be the best outcome."

Junsha Mio said seriously.

Capturing top-ranking officials would also be a significant bargaining chip in postwar negotiations.

The meeting lasted a very long time before it ended.

"How interesting, the Rockets!"

Qinglu stretched lazily, a hint of interest curving his handsome face.

In his opinion, the league was bound to win with such an unprecedented lineup, but to his surprise, the Rockets were also incredibly strong.

It's really interesting that the Rockets have double-digit championship-caliber players.

"Speaking of which, Red Bro, where's Ash?"

Hibiki asked Red with a puzzled look. He and Ash had gotten along quite well after meeting at the Indigo League.

Red shook his head; he didn't know why Ash hadn't come.

"Don't worry about it, Ash will definitely come to such a big event," Green said casually.

"Red! Let's have a real competition this time! Let's see who captures more Team Rocket executives!"

Then, Azure confidently challenged Crimson, and his defeat to Crimson at the Quartz Conference really infuriated him.

He is not convinced!

crimson:"……"

the other side.

"I'm speechless. Mei even said something like Mammon is her man, and she wouldn't let the League bully her man."

Adek, his heart aching from the bitter taste of the liquor, ranted in a frenzy.

"Is she even speaking human language? Given Mammon's condition, who could possibly bully him?"

"Now look what's going on, the Unova Champion is helping the other side fight me and Alice, what kind of nonsense is this?"

Adek was absolutely horrified, and it wasn't just Mei; Touko was also on the Rockets' side.

With Mei gone, he still had to come to the Quartz Plateau for a meeting, and who knows how unwilling Adek was.

"Sigh..." Dan Di's face was bitter.

"And what about Uncle Du Ruo?" Alice added from the side.

"Oh right, and that kid Du Ruo too, I watched him grow up! I never expected this!" Adek said indignantly.

"If that's the case, then, Aldak, the Unova really contributed a lot of top-tier executives to the Rockets."

Mikoli suddenly spoke up, thoughtfully counting on his fingers.

"N, Akromma, Mei, Touko, Du Ruo, and Uri from Blueberry Academy, right? That makes six!"

Upon hearing this, Daigo, Ran, and the others all looked at Alder with strange expressions.

That's really true; they had always thought the United States Alliance was weak.

Now that we've calculated it this way, it turns out that the United Rockets' top executives really did contribute the most.

Aldak: "..."

"So, guys, do you think we can beat the Rockets tomorrow?"

Nemo chose to skip that topic and asked eagerly.

"Hehehe... We'll win, right?" This was Adek, who didn't seem very confident.

"This... is still quite difficult," Daigo said tactfully after a moment's thought.

"Just do your best." That's Zhu Lan's motto.

"You deal with Mammon, I'll teach those traitors who have turned to darkness a lesson!" This was Mikkelsen's command.
"I need to find Hop. If anyone sees Hop tomorrow, please let me know and I'll come right away." This was Dante.

At this moment, the eyes of this invincible champion of Galer seemed to be burning with raging fire.

“Gardelia…” Zhu Lan’s eyes flickered slightly; she was also thinking of someone.

Let's settle this right here, Cattleya!
