Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 490 Mammon: The reason I joined Team Rocket is all because of Giovanni!

When Mammon walked out of the room, it was already an hour later.

"Lord Mammon, President Damaranchi has arrived."

Babena waited at the door of the room, while secretly glancing at Zhu Lan beside Mammon.

This is the champion of the Sinnoh region.

But it seems that he didn't do that?
Babena knew all too well what happened afterward, but it was still noticeable that Zhu Lan's lips were unusually red.

"Okay, where are the people from the Alliance?"

"They have all been well taken care of, sir, please rest assured."

"Yes, Barbena, I've always been very satisfied with how you handle things."

Mammon nodded and walked toward the hall.

In the hall, most of the trainers from the League were gathered, including Green and Alder, who were there to relax.

"It feels so good~ I feel like all my bones are lighter."

Qinglu twisted her neck, looking very satisfied, clearly pleased with the technician's technique.

"My technician number 18 was also very skilled, and her back massage was very thorough."

Adek discussed the matter with the young man and was equally satisfied. Moreover, the technician... was really beautiful!
As we all know, when it comes to foot massages, the appearance of the masseuse can significantly impact the overall experience.

The technicians at the Rockets' facility are not only tall and have great physiques, but they are also quite good-looking, making them above average.

"Really? Then I'll give it a try next time."

Qinglu's eyes lit up; he also really liked back massages.

crimson:"……"

"Green Bro, this is the Rockets' headquarters castle. We probably won't have a chance to come here again."

Ah Xiang reminded him with a regretful look, "Well, I was curious and tried it out too, but I'm a bit shy, so I just washed my feet the first time I tried it."

But it still opened up a new world for him.

"Isn't that simple?" Qinglu raised her chin arrogantly.

"Why don't I just join the Rockets?"

Qinglu said it very naturally, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.

“Emmm…” Ah Xiang fell into deep thought.

"Huh? Greenie is joining Team Rocket too? That's great!" Ash exclaimed happily.

“That’s right, I think what that woman Xiao Lan said makes a lot of sense, I, your humble servant…”

Qinglv nodded smugly. He had made his decision and was preparing to replicate Xiaolan's few 'bible' quotes, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized he couldn't quite remember them.

"If you can't remember, then forget it," Qinglu waved her hand arrogantly.

"I forgot about the beginning, I forgot about the end, but anyway, I've decided to bring my talents to Team Rocket!"

What's wrong with the Rockets? Absolutely nothing!

Not only does he have the chance to obtain legendary Pokémon, but he also enjoys such a superior and comfortable living environment. Qinglv thinks Team Rocket is perfect for him!

crimson:"……"

"Brother Qinglv, you're brilliant!"

Ash was very happy. He genuinely thought Team Rocket was great and hoped his friends would agree and join the team.

"Red Brother?"

Ash then looked at Crimson with anticipation.

crimson:"……"

Crimson pulled down the brim of her hat, her crimson eyes, hidden in the shadow of the brim, held a complex expression.

Unlike Ash and his friends, Damaranchi had already entered Team Rocket's castle, accompanied by Nurse Joy.

"It seems the Rockets are indeed very successful commercially."

With his hands behind his back, Damalanqi glanced at the magnificent hall and exclaimed in admiration.

He was aware of the Rockets' businesses, and they were doing very well in various regions, so it wasn't surprising that they made a lot of money.

However, the companies owned by the Rockets are legitimate businesses, so the league can't really interfere.

"President, I'm very sorry."

"I am ashamed to have disappointed you."

Upon seeing Damaran's arrival, Sakaki and Officer Jenny apologized.

"No need to apologize. I know you two have done your best. The rise of the Rockets is perhaps just the trend of the times."

Dama Lanqi sighed, signaling the two not to say anything more.

"I've been tossing and turning these past few days, thinking about why the situation has turned out this way."

Damaran's gaze swept over Sakaki, Daigo, Yaji, and the others, his tone wistful.

"The alliance has been established for nearly a hundred years. Although most people live and work in peace and contentment, and we are proud of this, there are still shadows lurking in the shadows of the light."

"Perhaps this is why the Rockets have been able to grow to this size, and our defeat today is a testament to that."

"The Rockets are indeed needed by this era."

Damalan is actually not pedantic at all. When Adu was the Kanto Champion, he was the one who mediated the conflict between him and the league councilors.

Otherwise, given the temperaments of the Kanto Four Heavenly Kings, they might have already exploded with the Alliance council members.

He was the one who kept reassuring Adu and Kona, while also rebuking the remarks made by the alliance members.

Although he did do some work, that was all; Damalangi was getting old after all.

At his advanced age, he still believes that the current state of the league is sufficient, and he cannot bring himself to make any changes.

After all, doing nothing is better than making a mistake, isn't it?

You can't say that Damaranchi's choice was wrong; you can only say that he was content with the status quo. But from Damaranchi's perspective, there's nothing wrong with him being content with the status quo.

After all, the Pokémon world is maintained by the League, and the world ruled by the League is generally stable and peaceful.

Now, with the Rockets' strong resurgence and even their victory over the league, Damaran has finally come to terms with reality. Upon hearing this, Officer Jenny and the others remained silent.

Pa~pa~pa~
Applause erupted as Mammon, dressed casually, slowly walked over.

"As expected of President Dama Lanqi, I greatly admire your ability to see this point clearly."

Mammon said with a smile.

Since Damalanqi is willing to back down, Mammon is naturally willing to give him face, since there's no need to make things too ugly.

"Mammon, you are truly amazing."

Damalan looked up at Mammon and exclaimed in genuine admiration.

"Thank you for your kind words. Please, President Damalanqi, the meeting room has been arranged. We should have a proper discussion now."

Mammon smiled and gestured to Damalanqi.

"Sakaki, Mio, and Rei, you two come with me."

Damaran nodded, and then spoke to Officer Jenny and Joey.

He is the Kanto League champion, the head of the Officer Jenny family and the Joey family in Kanto, and together with him, the chairman of the Kanto League, they can be said to be the four most powerful people in the Kanto League.

Although the heads of the Officer Jenny and Joey families may not actually wield the highest power in the regional alliance, their importance as cornerstone families of the alliance is self-evident.

To put it bluntly, the Pokémon League is almost inseparable from the names 'Officer Jenny' and 'Nurse Joy'.

This is true not only in Kanto, but in any region.

In the conference room.

"President, then I'll get straight to the point. I didn't make things difficult for President Silver. His safety is guaranteed, and he can leave here at any time."

"However, he should be enjoying a foot massage in the massage area right now, so you don't need to worry."

Mammon smiled and spoke first, while sitting next to him were Cattleya and Plantina.

"That's good." Dama Lanqi nodded.

In fact, both he and Mammon knew very well that in this battle in Golden City, President Silver was merely a necessary trigger, and there was absolutely no need to worry about President Silver's safety.

"It seems your massage area here is excellent, Mammon. Even President Silver lingered there and didn't want to leave immediately."

Dama Lanqi even made a humorous remark.

“Of course. I specially invited highly skilled professionals to come here. If the chairman is interested, he can try it later. It’s good for his physical and mental health.” Mammon’s lips curled up slightly.

"Then the old man will have to accept it without being impolite," Dama Lanqi said with a smile.

"Then, as we said before, Chairman, Team Rocket needs control of the underworld in all regions, as well as the right to freely try criminals."

Mammon took a document from Gadriya and handed it to Damalanchi.

"The Rockets could sign an agreement with the league to a certain extent to ensure that they do not overstep their bounds and interfere with the league's management of normal society. If the league finds that any Rockets members have overstepped their bounds, the Rockets will deal with these people themselves without the league's intervention."

Mammon continued.

Damalan nodded, squinting as he carefully examined the agreement.

In fact, after the defeat in Golden City, Damaranchi was already prepared to be oppressed by Mammon.

However, looking at the agreement as a whole, Mammon didn't find anything that exceeded his expectations.

This really surprised Dama Lanqi.

After reading it, Damaran gave the agreement document to Sakaki and the other two to review.

After the three finished reading, Officer Jenny nodded to Damalangi, indicating that the agreement was fine, completely within expectations, and contained no traps; it was written very clearly.

Of course, it's clear that Mammon's demands are nothing more than those of the underworld. As for the alliance, Giovanni will rise to power sooner or later, so there's no need for him to interfere.

"I can hand over the management of the underground world to Team Rocket, and I am willing to recognize Team Rocket's legitimacy."

Damalanchi signed his name, then reached out his hand to Mammon and smiled.

"From now on, please take good care of me, Mammon."

"Of course, I also hope the president will take good care of me."

Mammon and Damalanqi shook hands with smiles.

That's right. After this agreement, the league and the Rockets, strictly speaking, became two organizations co-governing the world. After all, the Rockets obtained the management rights of the underworld from the league and acquired legitimate governance rights.

"Hehehe~ Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. Come to Quartz Plateau more often when you have time, and have a cup of tea with this old man."

Dama Lanqi was deeply moved, never expecting things to turn out this way.

But the most outrageous thing is that Dama Lanqi herself was completely willing to accept this result.

Who would have thought? Just a year ago, the league and the Rockets were locked in a life-or-death struggle.

"I will definitely go if I have the chance. President, you can also come to World Tree Park more often. Trust me, you will love it here."

"Oh? World Tree Paradise? Why is it named that?"

Dama Lanqi was quite surprised.

"It's not convenient to tell you today, Chairman. If there's a chance, I'll take you on a tour myself and you'll understand."

"I see. Then I'll come again when I have some free time in a couple of days."

Dama Lanqi smiled and said that he was in a good mood.

"By the way, Mammon, do you mind if I ask you a question?"

Damalanqi leaned closer to Mammon and spoke softly.

"President, you say."

"Was there any reason why you joined the Rockets back then because of Giovanni?" Damaranchi was very curious about this.

Upon hearing Damaranchi's question, Mammon raised an eyebrow and glanced at Sakaki, who was chatting and laughing with Officer Joey and his two managers.

Hmm, I wonder if Giovanni will have a second spring in his life with these two?
If that's really possible, it would be a great thing.

“Yes, there is.” Mammon gave Damalanchi this affirmative answer.

"To be honest, my dad's influence accounts for 90% of the reason I joined the Rockets!"
