Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 491 Kanto Champion Giovanni! Team Rocket Executive Lance! That's right.

So, although he had his own dreams, was Giovanni's influence also a factor in his joining the Rockets?

Upon hearing this, Damalang sighed inwardly. In fact, he now held a degree of trust in some of the content of that Mammon interview.

However, after personally inquiring with Mammon, it turned out that the lack of care that Giovanni had shown Mammon back then was indeed one of the triggers.

At this point, everything had become inevitable.

"Then I'll head back to Indigo Plateau first. Team Rocket's legal rights are still very important, and the reconstruction of Goldenrod City needs to start as soon as possible."

At this point, Damalanqi looked at Mammon with a rather resentful gaze.

“Mammon, I can roughly understand that you want to find a grand ‘stage’ for the final battle, but Goldenrod City… is the economic center of Kanto.”

"And it's almost Chinese New Year, and now Golden City is in ruins. Where are the original residents of Golden City supposed to live?"

"I still need to think of a good excuse to deal with the disgruntled public."

Damalanqi had a terrible headache. He unconsciously gripped his beard so tightly that he wished he could use his head as two.

Upon hearing Damalanqi's complaints, Dandi Yeci and the others standing nearby couldn't help but have strange expressions.

"Ha~ Chairman, you've misunderstood me. As the premier metropolis in Kanto, I've always felt that the cityscape of Goldenrod City doesn't live up to the title of Kanto's number one metropolis."

"This is a perfect opportunity to rebuild, isn't it? Don't worry, our Rockets team is willing to invest 10 billion! To support the league's rebuilding efforts!"

Mammon replied confidently.

These words left Dama Lanqi both amused and exasperated.

That's quite a sophistry.

But what can be done now? And what Mammon said does make some sense, given that it is the most developed metropolis in the Kanto region.

Goldenrod City's cityscape does indeed fall short of its name. Just look at Unova's Sunburst City, Carlos's Luna City, and Galilee's Gate City.

The cityscapes of those top international cities truly embody the title of "metropolis".

The ruins of Golden City will provide the perfect opportunity to rebuild a modern, top-tier metropolis.

“Ahem~ Mr. Mammon is right. I also think that Golden City does need to be rebuilt. Chairman Damaranchi, you don’t need to be angry. Our Silver Company is willing to contribute 10 billion as a contribution to the reconstruction of Golden City.”

President Silver, who had already finished his massage and was thoroughly enjoying himself, coughed twice to show his sincerity.

After all, no matter what, even though he was just a tool to start the battle, the reason he was called was that the league started the war against the Rockets in order to save him.

President Silver was also innocent, having been inexplicably drawn into the vortex of two major forces.

But to be honest, the experience was pretty good.

Moreover, he also got to know Mammon through this opportunity, and could get closer to him in the future. It could be considered as finding a backer for Silver Company, right?
Thinking about it this way, President Silver felt that it was all worthwhile.

As for investing 10 billion to rebuild Golden City, first of all, money is just a number to a CEO of his stature. Being able to spend money to rebuild Golden City is a good thing that you can't ask for, okay?
To put it bluntly, whether Damalangi is willing to accept his feelings depends on Damalangi's mood.

Because this is essentially buying reputation with money, and it's an absolutely unbeatable reputation.

"Alright, alright, I was just grumbling a bit." Dama Lanqi shook his head helplessly.

"I appreciate your kindness. As for the funds... I also thank you in advance. Anyway, I'll be quite busy for the next period of time, so I'll be leaving now."

Damalanqi had a bit of a headache; he figured he probably wouldn't be sleeping well for a while.

Sigh, he's already this old, and to encounter something like this at the end of his tenure as chairman, really.

Perhaps... I can finally retire in a while.

Dama Lanqi suddenly thought of this. In fact, he had had this idea for a long time, but he had never been able to find a suitable candidate to succeed him.

However, it actually exists now.

"Perhaps it is indeed something we can consider."

Damaran glanced at Sakaki beside him, knowing that Sakaki was indeed perfect.

First of all, Sakaki is a steady and mature person who is also meticulous and serious about his work, which is something that Damara Ranki personally observed and confirmed.

Compared to Wataru, Sakaki was truly a better champion.

Moreover, Sakaki has a gentle personality and can get along well with any colleague, and his reputation in Kanto goes without saying.

Since Giovanni defeated Wataru and took office, Giovanni's fame in the Kanto region has even surpassed Wataru's.

For Damaranchi, the Kanto region is not lacking in powerful champions, but rather in a leader who is responsible, politically capable, and can win over the community!

Otherwise, would Damalanqi need to work until this advanced age? If there were a suitable successor, he would have retired long ago.

"By the way, Mammon, you were the one who came up with the idea for the World Championship, right?"

Just as Damalanqi was about to turn and leave, he seemed to remember something and asked Mammon.

"President Loz told you?" Mammon raised an eyebrow.

“He didn’t hide it at all. This project is great, and I plan to hold it next year. However, the specific procedures still need to be discussed in detail, and... I think it’s also necessary to discuss the preliminary ranking with you.”

Damalanqi pondered for a moment before speaking to Mammon.

The World Championships are a world-class event that includes trainers from all over the world, and Damaran takes it very seriously.

Most importantly, this is a ranking-based competition, so how should the initial rankings be determined? This is crucial.

After all, the initial rankings may be controversial, but they should at least be somewhat reasonable and convincing, right?

If it were just about the league, that would be one thing, but the Rockets' pursuit of a top championship is also a problem.

Doesn't the Battle of Golden City already demonstrate this point?
The Rockets' top executives are no less capable than league champions, considering the current co-governance relationship between the league and the Rockets.

Damaranchi still has to respect the Rockets' intentions.

Otherwise, it would be easier for him to rank them; he could just put all the regional champions of the league on the list.

As for the subsequent ranking competition, it has nothing to do with the initial ranking. "Okay, I'll go to Quartz Plateau when I have time in a while."

"Then I'll be waiting for you, old man."

Damaranchi smiled and nodded, leading Giovanni and the others away from Yggdrasil Castle, while most of the League trainers also left.

However, some remained.

For example...

"Boss, I want to join Team Rocket!"

Qinglv tossed her hair with a flourish and said to Mammon.

He had already made his decision, but he was still a little afraid that Ooki Yukinari would nag him about it when he went back.

But what's there to worry about now?
The Rockets are even preparing to co-govern with the league; the Rockets have truly changed the world order.

Such an amazing organization, even if it can't provide timely help, can still add to someone's success.

Qinglv deeply regretted it. That bastard Xiaozhi, Team Rocket has such an excellent organization and benefits, how could he not invite him to enjoy the benefits together?
hateful!

Fortunately, although it's a bit late, it's still not too late!
"Blue, have you asked Professor Oak before you decided to join Team Rocket?" Mammon looked at Blue with interest.

"I'll walk my own path, that old man can't control me." Qinglu snorted twice.

"Besides, even if I join Team Rocket, the organization won't stop me from challenging the Kanto League, right?"

Aoki's rhetorical question was quite confident. "Don't you see the outstanding examples of Mei, Serena, and Mizuki, the three regional champions?"
"Of course, but once you join the organization, you must fulfill its responsibilities, and you cannot leave the organization at will, otherwise..."

Mammon's smile was somewhat meaningful, but everyone around him understood what he meant.

The Rockets are not an organization like the league that prioritizes humanitarianism.

"Don't worry, I've already looked into it, and I'm very interested in the organization's philosophy!"

Qinglu's expression became much more formal this time, and she spoke earnestly to Mammon.

"Alright, then welcome to the team, Green."

Mammon smiled and took out the gold badge of a top-ranking cadre, handing it to Qinglu personally.

"This is the badge of a top-level executive. Top-level executives who join the organization can receive an Ultra Beast from the organization for free, and you can choose one yourself."

"If you don't like Ultra Beasts, pseudo-legendary larvae from various regions are also acceptable."

"Of course, this only applies to one Pokémon. If you want to apply for more Pokémon later, you'll need to use merit points to exchange for them."

Mammon said to Green.

"Okay~ I know." Qinglu was quite excited. It was an Ultimate Beast, and he really liked it.

Upon hearing Mammon's words, Alice's eyes widened suddenly, and she stared intently at Du Ruo Wu Li and Tou Zi.

Damn it!
You're giving away one Ultra Beast just for joining Team Rocket?! You guys are ripping me off!

Du Ruo whistled, her gaze darting around, not daring to meet Alice's gaze, which was sharper than a knife's edge.

And afterwards, Mammon's smile didn't stop for a while.

Alice and Aya have also joined Team Rocket, adding two more key players to the team.

But the biggest surprise came from someone else.

"King Adu, are you serious?"

Mammon raised an eyebrow at the cold-faced young man with blood-red hair in front of him.

"Yes, I want to join the Rockets."

Adu said calmly.

"Why? Given your status and position..."

"The Rockets' attitude towards 'evil' aligns more with my sense of justice," Adu replied calmly.

Yes, the reason is that simple.

Mammon couldn't help but laugh. He had actually wondered if the Rockets' current philosophy might attract Adu and Kona to their doorstep.

Surprisingly, it actually worked.

As expected, someone as righteous and indignant as Adu could not possibly be compatible with the Alliance's moderate ideals.

Tsk~ Kanto champion Giovanni, Rockets executive Lance!

This world is truly amazing!

“If you’re doing this because of my position, I can resign from my position in the league.”

Seeing that Mammon remained silent, Adu's tone remained indifferent and calm.

“No, even winning the championship is no problem, let alone becoming a king.” Mammon stood up, smiled, and extended his hand to Adu.

"I'm just happy. Our Rockets team always welcomes any like-minded partners."

"Welcome to Team Rocket, Adu. Let's work together for a clean and blue tomorrow."

"Sweep away all evil and sin!"

Upon hearing Mammon's words, the Dragon Envoy's cold eyes rippled. He grasped Mammon's hand and accepted the badge representing a top-level cadre.

"For a clear, blue sky!"

Rockets' top executive, Adu! Reporting for duty!
