Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 459 Mammon: There are no enemies ahead of us!

Golden City, the premier modern metropolis in the Kanto region.

"The so-called golden color is the dazzling and brilliant color of gold. Using such a metropolis as the stage for the final battle is really perfect."

On the top floor of the Silver Corporation headquarters building, in this luxurious and spacious office, Mammon sat comfortably with his legs crossed in his executive chair, holding an exquisite wine glass in his hand.

His gaze languidly drifted through the floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing at the city. Talebagos lay on his lap, happily munching on a fruit.

“Mr. Mammon, why are you doing this?”

President Silver sat on the sofa sighing, feeling that he had been wronged by this whole ordeal.

He was cursing Gilluta's son to death in his heart. If he hadn't been so reckless as to go looking for Team Rocket, Mammon wouldn't have been able to use that as an excuse to come knocking on their door.

What a rebellious son! What a truly rebellious son!!

"Mr. President, I really don't like hearing you say that. Don't worry, I will ensure your safety."

Mammon's lips curled up slightly as he turned to President Silver and smiled.

"Back then, I used the president of Devon Corporation, Zivchi Hibiscus, to lure Daigo and the other champions into battle. His personal safety was guaranteed."

So this isn't the first time you've used the company president as bait?
President Silver felt his throat was dry.

“I’m not worried about my own safety, but your choice, I think, is completely meaningless.” After swallowing, President Silver shook his head stubbornly.

"Hideko has already sent a message that the Kanto Alliance has arrived in Goldenrod City and has completely surrounded the city."

“Mr. Mammon, this battle is probably unavoidable.”

President Silver spoke calmly.

"Really? Faster than I expected. Cattleya, pass on the word: a meeting on the tenth floor."

Mammon chuckled, placed the little turtle on the desk, and lazily stood up and stretched.

“Yes.” Cattleya nodded.

"The banquet is about to begin, and we need to have a pre-battle pep talk. Mr. President, would you like to come and listen in?"

Mammon picked up the coat from the back of the chair and put it on; it was a new coat that the May Sisters had made for him.

On the left chest of the coat is a large gold 'R', indicating the wearer's identity.

"I will not participate in your organization's internal meetings," President Silver politely declined.

"Alright, then please rest here for a while."

Mammon patted President Silver on the shoulder and left the luxurious president's office with Cattleya.

"Ah~"

President Silver looked at the empty room and couldn't help but sit down again with a sigh.

He didn't even think about running away. Now that the entire Silver Tower was occupied by Team Rocket, it would be a miracle if an old and frail man like him could escape.

Moreover, although Mammon occupied his company building and used him as the 'key' to start the battle, Mammon still respected him quite a bit.

But the key question is, if the Rockets go to war with the league, can Mammon really guarantee his personal safety?
President Silver knows that powerful trainers can be incredibly destructive.

I wonder what happened to 'senior' Shigefuki Mujin when she was a hostage? Oh well.

President Silver looked at the fruit plate on the coffee table.

Since things have come to this, let's eat something first.

Goldenrod City Goldenrod Gym.

"Champion Sakaki!"

"Hello, Officer Jenny, all residents of Goldenrod City have been evacuated, right?"

Sakaki, still wearing his signature black suit, asked the person in charge of Officer Jenny City in front of him.

"Yes, all residents were evacuated before 6 p.m. yesterday. Now, apart from our officials, only Team Rocket members are in Goldenrod City."

"According to surveillance footage, Rockets personnel only stayed near Silver Company."

The J.A. representative answered solemnly.

"Okay, where is the Saffron Gym Leader?" Giovanni looked at the Saffron Gym Leader with a puzzled expression.

"..." The Officer Jenny opened her mouth somewhat awkwardly, but no sound came out.

"The Goldenrod Gym Leader, is that Sabrina? What happened to her?" Lorelei asked, frowning.

“Um, Sabrina, she…” The Officer Jenny pursed her lips, her voice growing softer and softer: “She joined Team Rocket, and she should be working at Silver Company now.”

Quiet.

Sakaki fell silent, while Dan and the other champions exchanged bewildered glances.

Kona's lips twitched, she pushed up her glasses and turned her head away. What could she say?
While it's a bit abstract to say that the Gym Leader of Saffron City switched sides at the last minute, it's not a big deal for a Gym Leader to do that.

After all, the regional champions of Unova, Carlos, and Alola are all on the other side.

"Let's go into the gym first and analyze our attack strategy."

Sakaki coughed twice, skipping over the slightly awkward topic, and addressed the group.

The group entered the Saffron City Gym, which, as the official gym of Saffron City, was naturally quite spacious.

Officer Jenny had someone bring out a projector and project a map onto the wall.

"What we know for now is that Rockets boss Mammon is definitely in the Silver Corporation headquarters building, and most likely on the top floor. Silver's president should also be there."

"Then the area around Silver Corporation has been completely controlled by Team Rocket members, and there must be top Team Rocket executives guarding Silver Corporation as well."

"Therefore, I suggest that we gradually narrow down our offensive perimeter, first taking over the area near Silver Company. If we find any top Rockets executives there, that would be ideal."

Officer Jenny slowly explained the battle strategy.

"Since we've guessed that the Rockets' boss is at the top of Silver Corporation, why don't we just capture the kingpin first?"

Qinglu asked in confusion, "As everyone knows, to catch the thief, you must first catch the king, right?"
“Because Mammon is very strong.” Dan Di shook his head: “Choosing to capture the king was the biggest mistake.”

"I don't understand." Qinglu spread her hands, looking completely innocent.

"Excuse my bluntness, but we have over twenty champions on our side. Do you think we can't take down that Mammon if we all gang up on him?"

"I don't believe it!" Qinglu thought these people had something wrong with their brains.

How many champions are there on their side? More than twenty!
To put it conservatively, with 20 against 1, and an absolute numerical advantage, how could there be any surprises?

And then, unexpectedly, the green plant ate the projector on the spot!
"Qinglu, you don't know how terrifying Mammon's strength is. Even with a numerical advantage, it will be extremely difficult to take down Mammon."

"So Ms. Mio's plan is correct: start with the other top executives of Team Rocket, and then take on Mammon."

Sakaki said in a deep voice. He knew that Qinglu was young and arrogant, and that it was such a "great advantage" battle, but was it really an advantageous battle?
Dante and the others understood that the real advantage lay with Mammon's side.

"Tsk~" Qinglv clicked her tongue, but since Sakaki had already said that, he could only shrug and agree.

Despite his arrogance, Qinglv still respected Sakaki, after all, Sakaki was truly strong.

"So the battle plan is set: first take down the other top officers, and then gather all our forces to besiege Mammon!"

After another ten minutes of discussion, Sakaki finalized the battle plan.

“If Mammon goes into battle early, I, Adu, and Dante will go and fight Mammon to buy time.”

Sakaki continued, "After all, we also have to consider unexpected situations, such as whether Mammon will make a move ahead of schedule."

Dante and Adu nodded, having no objections.

"Okay! Let's go!"

……

On the tenth floor of the Silver Company building, there is a huge conference room.

"Gentlemen, the wind has risen."

Mammon stood at the head of the table, smiling as he looked at everyone seated in front of him.

"The League has dispatched a large force to prepare. According to intelligence, the League has assembled more than twenty champion-level trainers this time."

Mammon's clear voice reached everyone's ears, causing many people's expressions to change slightly.

More than twenty champions?!

Some were alarmed, some were worried, but others were excited.

"Wow, this is really something, they're trying to crush us all at once."

Pear Blossom leaned back in her chair, a wicked and arrogant smile spreading across her face.

"You've really put in a lot of effort." Akromma chuckled softly, her fingers twitching slightly.

"It's okay! No matter how many people come, I'll take them!"

Mei's fighting spirit was very strong; she slammed her hand on the table with great force.

"Don't even think about taking that hammer. Let Mammon finish speaking first."

Touko pulled Mei down to sit, glaring at her with annoyance. This woman was such a show-off.

“Yes, Akromar is right. The Alliance is serious this time. They have gathered all their forces from all regions.”

"But what I want to say is..."

Mammon's lips slowly curled up, his smile gradually becoming maniacal.

Even if the opponent is very strong, the advantage still lies with us!

"Everyone, do not hesitate or waver, I am standing right behind you!"

"As long as we give it our all, believe me, the Rockets will be the ultimate victors in this battle!"

Mammon's arrogant words echoed clearly in the conference room.

"The Rockets will not be defeated, not now, and not in the future!"

"We are invincible ahead!"

Holy crap! So handsome!!

Looking at the boy in the coat at the front, Mizuki's eyes almost sparkled with stars.

My man is so handsome!

At this moment, the hearts of the girls, including Cattleya, Mei, and Plantina, were also racing.

Ash, Hop, and other male characters were also thrilled, as this passionate and confident declaration was simply too inspiring.

"Then I'll set a wartime rule: capturing a Champion-level Trainer will grant +20000 merit points, and capturing a Regional Champion will grant +30000 merit points."

Seeing that everyone's morale had been raised, Mammon smiled and raised his finger.

"Adu and Dandi, either one +50000."

"If you can capture Sakaki, the champion of Kanto, you'll gain 100000 merit points!"

wow~

Upon hearing this, many people in the conference room gasped in surprise.

Meanwhile, Mizuki and the others, who knew about Mamon's relationship with Sakaki, had strange expressions. Was Uncle Sakaki also on the bounty list?
Oh, he's the Kanto champion, then it's alright.

Moreover, the regional champions actually have so many more merits than the regular champions.

Miyuki and the others exchanged glances and quickly determined their general objective: to capture the champion! Just thinking about it was an incredible feat!
But indeed, I'm really tempted!

"So, everyone, let's have one last drink to this battle..."

Mammon raised the wine glass on the conference table.

"Sound the triumphant song!"

We are...unbeatable!
"For the Rockets!"

Not far from the Silver Company, the Alliance personnel, led by Sakaki, stopped and set up a temporary command tent.

"Then, according to the plan, we will launch an attack from four directions simultaneously."

Sakaki pressed the communicator and sent a signal.

Army attack!
