Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 478 Mammon: Oh no, am I going to become a freeloader?

Alliance Command Battalion.

"This isn't good, Mio. How many of you are still receiving signal feedback?"

Kikuko, leaning on her cane, asked Officer J.O.M.

"Currently, there are also Sakaki Champion, Awa Tenoh, Little Blue, Little Silver, Hibiki, Chikuran Champion, Kukui, Dante Champion, Chibana Gym Leader, Mastedt Senior, and Yaji Champion."

Officer Jenny's tone was extremely heavy.

"Half of their personnel have already been lost?"

Even Kikuko was startled by this answer.

They recruited over twenty championship-caliber players to compete against the Rockets, but Mammon hasn't even made a move yet.

They've already lost over a dozen champions.

Is the Rockets really that strong? The pre-game predictions weren't like that at all!

"Yes, the most crucial thing right now is that Mammon is still stationed at the Silver Building and hasn't made a move. As for King Kikuko, from a rational point of view..."

Officer Jenny's voice unconsciously lowered.

From a rational perspective, their chances of winning this battle are extremely slim, or rather, practically nonexistent.

And now there's another possibility that's most unacceptable.

That means Mammon might not even need to make a move before their alliance is defeated.

After all, given the current situation, the league has suffered heavy losses, while the Rockets have only lost two top executives.

And it was Sakaki who caught him!
Sakaki really gave it his all! He captured two top-tier officers not long after entering the battlefield.
The league definitely can't do without Champion Sakaki!

"Trust Sakaki and the others, at least..."

Kikuko also felt a headache coming on; actually, losing to the Rockets wasn't unacceptable.

But to lose without even seeing Mammon's face would be far too humiliating.

Silver Building.

The four Crimson were escorted to the first floor of the Silver Building. Upon entering, Crimson even thought he had entered the Alliance's headquarters.

A quick glance reveals at least a dozen, wow!

All that came into view were trainers from the League, and Crimson fell silent.

"Daigo!!"

"Mikoli?"

Michael spotted his best friend in the crowd at a glance.

Daigo, who was deep in thought, immediately looked up upon hearing the voice and saw Mikuri.

Daigo looked utterly astonished. Michael had actually only just been caught??

Oh no! Daigo's heart sank. I'm not even as good as Michael?!

"Daigo, so you were captured a long time ago. I was wondering why you didn't reply to my messages."

Teacher DaMi smiled at this moment, showing his superiority in front of Daigo, which was rare for him.

Isn't that superior?

If Daigo was caught by the Rockets before me, does that mean I'm better than Daigo?

"Sigh~ Daigo, I told you long ago that you need to practice more. How can you lead our Hoenn region forward like this? You really disappoint me."

Teacher DaMi shook his head and lectured Daigo with the air of an elder.

Well, of course Teacher Rice hasn't forgotten that he was actually the first League Champion to be captured, but there were just too many twists and turns along the way.

But Teacher Rice selectively forgets at this moment because he has to consider whether this is his only chance in this life.

"grass……"

Daigo was so angry at Michael's smug look that he actually laughed.

Okay, okay! You're talking about me now?
Mikoli, you're the one who really needs to practice!

"Speaking of which, Daigo, who defeated you?"

Seeing Daigo's liver-like face, Michael was already chuckling to himself, but he was still very curious.

Daigo chose to remain silent.

"Mizuki, the new champion of Alola, she's unbelievably strong!"

Haruka chimed in from the side, unable to believe it. She never imagined that even with Daigo's help, they couldn't defeat someone their own age.

That's absolutely outrageous!

"Just one?" Mikoli was taken aback.

"Yes."

"I see." Mikoli said thoughtfully.

"Sigh~ On my side, there were five top-level cadres who couldn't withstand the pressure and were defeated."

Teacher DaMi sighed.

So are you trying to say that you were defeated by your opponents in terms of numbers?

Daigo remained expressionless; he was certain there was something fishy going on! Didn't he know exactly what Mikuri was capable of?

He knows exactly how many sets of women's clothing photos Miko has taken so far!
"Five top-level executives? Impressive!" Xiaoyao smacked her lips, playing along perfectly.

"Yeah, especially that new Unova Champion Mei, she even has a legendary Thundurus, it's infuriating! If it weren't for the fact that all my main units are countered by Thundurus..."

As Mikkuri spoke, he couldn't help but feel sad. Throughout the day, his beloved Milotic had been going through a cycle of dizziness and wakefulness.

We really can't continue playing like this. If we keep going, it might leave some lasting effects.

Karuno listened to the conversation between Michael and Daigo with an extremely strange expression.

But after thinking about it, she decided not to expose Mikoli, since it had nothing to do with her anyway.

"I want to see Mammon!"

After glancing at Lorelei, Haruka, and the others sitting in a row, Karen, not wanting to be tied up here any longer, decisively spoke to Mei and the others.

"what?"

Mei was taken aback by what she heard.

“I need to see Mammon. I have something very important to discuss with him, it’s about the Alliance.”

Karuno replied without changing her expression, her face extremely solemn. Her acting skills, honed over the years, were still impeccable at this moment.

Mei, still somewhat skeptical, took out her phone and asked Mammon, quickly receiving a reply from him.

"Hmm... Alright, Mammon agrees. You can take the elevator up now."

Mei looked at the message on her phone, untied Karuno, and spoke to her.

Karen straightened her clothes, ignored the subtle glances from Daigo and the others, and entered the elevator heading towards the top floor.

Mikoli, Crimson, and Green were tied to the stone pillars.

Well, because of Wallace's strong request, Ash kindly agreed and tied him next to Steven so that he could chat with Steven.

Ash is so gentle!
"I never expected this! Ms. Karuno, who seems like such a proper lady, is now going to betray the League?!"

Teacher DaMi said in a low voice, heartbroken, because Karuno's voice wasn't quiet, and they had all heard it.

Talking to Mammon about something important in the league? Doesn't that clearly mean he wants to defect to the Rockets?

"Don't talk nonsense. Maybe things aren't what we think," Daigo said to Michael in an annoyed tone.

He is not the kind of person who likes to gossip and speculate wildly behind people's backs.

Moreover, Karuno appears dignified and elegant, and during her time as Carlos Champion, she was always a responsible type.

How could they betray the alliance?

“…The main problem is that there are just too many precedents…” Mikoli realized his mistake and gave an embarrassed smile.

Actually, you can't really blame him. After all, Xiao Lan and Xiao Yin's betrayal had just happened, and with Qing Lü's wavering, Mikoli subconsciously assumed that this was the case.

Just then, two more people entered through the door.

"Daigo, it's Higanbana." Mikuri had sharp eyes and spotted the black-haired girl at a glance.

“Hmm.” Daigo nodded, looking at the hat-wearing boy who had been brought in by Higanbana.

If I remember correctly, this boy is also a genius newcomer in Kanto, named Hibiki.

However, it was clear that he had already been defeated and captured by Higana.

"Hey? Crimson Bro and Green Bro, you guys are here too."

Ah Xiang, who had been looking dejected, was immediately delighted when he saw Chi Hong and Qing Lü, who was constantly muttering beside him, as soon as he entered.

crimson:"……"

"Oh dear, another one is gone."

Qinglu had completely given up. If his hands weren't tied up, he would have even waved to greet Axiang.

"Tsk~ Isn't this a bit too exaggerated? More than half of them have been caught."

Qinglu looked around and marveled.

Actually, a long time has passed since the battle of Golden City began, but now that they have arrived at the prisoner-of-war camp, Green has only just realized this.

Why are more and more members of the alliance being arrested?

“It seems that’s really true,” Ah Xun chimed in from the side.

"I just counted, there are already twelve fallen here, and if you include the two who defected to the Rockets, that makes fourteen."

Ah Xun said.

Fourteen people have already been arrested?
Qinglu couldn't help but click her tongue again and counted carefully.

Shiba, Kona, Crimson, Hibiki, Goku, Haruka, Michael, Shiro, Jun, Karuno, Hau.

Including myself, and the two who betrayed me, Xiao Lan and Xiao Yin, there really are fourteen of them!

No, more than twenty champions, and they haven't even reached the boss yet, and more than half of them have already died along the way?
Qinglu suddenly remembered his bold words before the battle began, and he now had to admit that he had really oversimplified things.

Moreover, this only includes the prisoners currently present; there may be others who were not counted during the 'transportation'.

"I wonder if any of the top officers on the Rockets' side have been captured. What bad luck! I should have joined the Rockets too."

Ha-wu looked miserable. Knowing things would turn out this way, he might as well have gone and hung out with Mi-yue.

Anyway, the Alola League champion and two Elite Four members are both from the Rockets, so what's wrong with that?

Qinglu was also very curious about this. She looked around and saw that Mei and the others had already left again.

Only a blond young man in a black trench coat was sitting in front of the reception desk not far away.

Green recognized him; he was Akromma from the United States, also a top executive of the Rockets.

"Ha~ Handsome guy."

"Are you calling me?"

Akroma put down a databook and looked at Qinglv with curiosity; this was the first time someone had addressed him like that.

"Yes, I wanted to ask you something, is it convenient?"

"You said, as for whether to answer, it depends on the situation."

Akromma responded with a smile.

"Are there any top executives on your Rockets team who have been arrested by the league?" Qinglu asked directly.

Upon hearing the sound, Daigo and the others all looked over, including Lorelei, who had been silently resting with her eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought.

This is a battle report; I don't know if Akromma will respond.

"Strictly speaking, I shouldn't be telling you this, but given the current situation... hehe~"

Akromah chuckled twice, took out a delicate little instrument, and glanced at it.

"Two young men were defeated by the Alliance," Akromma confirmed.

"There are only two..."

The green color was astounding.

14:2? Holy crap, with that casualty ratio, what's the point of even fighting? We might as well just give up.

And at this moment, on the top floor.

Mammon was thinking about something very seriously at that moment.

"Those guys really won't even get to see me? I've already chosen the Pokémon I want to show off with."

Mammon stared at the screen with a strange expression, suddenly realizing something he hadn't anticipated before the battle.

His subordinates seem a bit too capable; could he really become a sitting duck and win without lifting a finger?
