Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 559 Zhu Lan is currently resting during her pregnancy and is not considering returning to Shen'ao. Thank you.

At this point, Haruka's big eyes sparkled as she glanced at Mammon out of the corner of her eye.

Mr. Mammon...

Yes, Xiaoyao has received some inside information. It is said that the top executives of the Rockets, or more precisely, the top female executives.

Their rankings at this World Championships are not just for the sake of rankings.

"Indeed, I didn't expect the ranking stage of this World Championship to be so intense."

Daigo, of course, had no idea what Haruka was thinking, but he sighed sincerely.

Over the past six months, Daigo has really gone crazy.

Since its inception, the World Championships have caused a global sensation, with people going to great lengths to rank highly.

This is true at every stage.

The first half of the year was alright. During that time, it was mostly the Super Ball, the regular Ball, and the lower-middle levels of the Advanced Ball classes that were very exciting, with the rankings changing almost every five minutes.

However, the rankings of the top trainers have remained relatively stable.

However, things changed completely in the middle and second half of the year. Nowadays, even the last few of the eight masters change positions almost every one or two weeks.

They were really fighting fiercely.

As of now, the rankings of the eight masters have changed dramatically.

No. 1 — Kanto Champion, Giovanni Sakaki
No. 2 — Alora Champion Mizuki
No.3—Small photo

No.4—Dandi

No.5—Adu

No. 6—Cadelia

No. 7 — Wangluo

No. 8 — United Champion Mei
Well, just two days ago, Mei defeated Akane and regained her position as one of the 'Eight Masters', but as the youngest, Mei probably faces the most challenges.

Whether she can hold onto this position is also very difficult for her.

As for Daigo, Rin, and Yaji, who were originally on the list, they are now hovering around the teens, and their rankings are not even secure.

Strictly speaking, the top three are basically fixed at present, as Sakaki, Mizuki, and Kozo are all incredibly strong.

Especially Mizuki, who has already subdued Solgaleo and Guleton, and to some extent, she even has the confidence to challenge Giovanni.

However, the power of Primal Groudon still made Mizuki wary, so she was still making preparations.

As for Xiao Zhao, he stopped challenging after reaching No. 3, probably waiting for the main tournament of the World Championship to begin.

For Daigo, he actually felt the dramatic changes in the world last year.

After all, Mammon's rise was not only his own achievement, but also brought out too many outstanding 'monster' newcomers.

Daigo has a deep understanding of this, for example, isn't Haruka a perfect example?
Haruka's current strength can be said to have surpassed Daigo's in every aspect; this shows how much she has achieved.

The world is entering a completely new era.

In this era, it's no exaggeration to say that geniuses are merely the threshold for emerging talent.

"So Daigo-sensei has to work even harder, otherwise the new wave will push the old wave aside, and the old wave will just be washed away on the beach."

Mammon chuckled softly and said meaningfully to Daigo.

For Mammon, this kind of world is actually quite interesting, but for the vast majority of trainers...

Such an era, teeming with monsters, is truly despairing.

Talent and brilliance—these four simple words are enough to crush 99% of the world's population.

This World Championship has laid bare this truth before everyone.

"To see such a flourishing scene is already a blessing."

Daigo smiled and said, "Although I feel a little regretful, it's not much."

All I can say is that at times he might sigh and say that his era has passed, and that's all.

Anyway, Daigo has had his moments of glory, hasn't he?
Moreover, even though there are many prodigies around now, he still has a place among them, although he is still somewhat behind the top trainers.

"As expected of Daigo-sensei, he has such a great attitude."

Mammon shrugged. He had originally planned to take this opportunity to get Daigo to join Team Rocket.

"Excuse me, excuse me, Mr. Mammon!"

Just as the three were chatting, a figure squeezed out from the crowd.

It was Pansy dressed in a business suit.

Speaking of which, Pansy's interview program is now one of the world's leading large-scale programs.

After all, it's a project of a company under the Rockets, so naturally, they get preferential treatment from their own people. That's why Pansy is now a successful and phenomenal host.

"Miss Pansy, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing the staff carrying a camera following behind Pansy, Mammon gave a gentle smile.

"Mr. Mammon, do you have time for a brief interview? I have received quite a few questions that I would like to ask you."

Pansy winked at Mammon, then smiled warmly and asked him a question.

As one of Mammon's secret lovers, Pansy is considered one of the more self-aware ones.

Compared to competing with Mizuki and the others for family status, Pansy is wholeheartedly devoted to her career as a host. Relying on her exclusive Team Rocket resources, Pansy is now thriving, and she can also collect all sorts of tricky and bizarre questions from fans to interview well-known Team Rocket celebrities such as Mammon, Mizuki, and Mei.

Wouldn't that bring in traffic, brand awareness, and so on?

"Of course, but I have to have dinner with Daigo-sensei and the others later, so I'll be short on time."

Mammon replied with a smile.

"Okay, okay~ It'll be quick, just two small problems."

Pansy smiled radiantly, quickly tidied her hair, and moved closer to Mammon, facing the camera.

Daigo and May very consciously took two steps back. Daigo glanced at Wallace, who was still changing poses to take pictures with Kyogre, and couldn't help but facepalm helplessly.

“Mr. Mammon, this issue might be a bit sensitive. I hope you don’t mind?”

Pansy smiled sweetly, glanced at the questions she had written down, and winked playfully at Mammon.

“As long as it doesn’t involve personal matters, it’s fine.” Mammon raised an eyebrow.

He had heard that Pansy's interview questions were all sorts of strange and unusual.

If Pansy asks too many tricky questions, Mammon wouldn't mind letting her call him "Dad" that night.

"Then there's no problem." Pansy feigned a relieved expression.

"The first question is, according to a netizen, last year in Goldenrod City, your Team Rocket fought an unprecedented battle against the Kanto League, which resulted in most of Goldenrod City being reduced to ruins."

Upon hearing this, both Daigo and Haruka were stunned and stared at the pansy in astonishment.

Seriously, ladies, is this something you can just talk about in public? And the netizen who asked the question is incredibly audacious.

Although the Battle of Golden City was something that could not be completely kept secret, anyone with connections or a keen eye would know something about it.

But after all, it's a big battle between the league and the Rockets. As long as the official stance isn't confirmed, no amount of speculation from the outside world will change anything.

Moreover, now that the league and the Rockets are on opposite sides of the law, living in harmony and complementing each other, these old stories are naturally even less likely to be brought up.

Daigo guessed that the netizen who asked the question was probably just joining in the fun, but he didn't expect Pansy to actually ask Mammon himself directly.

"It is said that you beat many champions, including A-wu, Daigo, Mikuri, and Dantie, to the ground and had to stay in the hospital for more than half a month. What are your thoughts on this?"

As she spoke, Pansy's words took on a teasing tone, while she gave Daigo, who had a strange expression on his face, an apologetic look.

Haruka almost burst out laughing, while Daigo gave a helpless, bitter smile.

Who the hell is this person who was beaten to the ground and had to recuperate for more than half a month? Who the hell is spreading rumors about this?

"This is completely a rumor."

Upon hearing this, Mammon shook his head seriously and denied it outright.

Upon hearing this, Daigo breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Mammon would explain things clearly.

Otherwise, what would happen if these rumors got out? But...

"Daigo-sensei and the others only rested for a week, how could it have been half a month?"

Mammon looked serious and said that what he said was the truth.

"Pfft~" Xiaoyao finally couldn't help but laugh.

“Mammon…” Daigo hesitated, no, he meant his reputation!

"Oh? Is there anything else you'd like to add, Mr. Daigo?"

Pansy asked with a smile, and the photographer readily turned the camera towards Daigo.

Daigo's awkward yet polite expression was quite amusing.

"Haha~ Just kidding. There's no such thing. We're good friends. How could we possibly fight to the death? And the idea of ​​us ending up in the hospital is completely fabricated."

Mammon smiled.

"In short, there are certain reasons why I can't tell you about what happened in Golden City, but it's definitely not what you think."

Upon hearing this, Pansy understood and signaled the photographer to refocus the lens on Mammon.

“I see. But Mr. Mammon’s words are quite credible. Now, let’s move on to another question.”

Pansy glanced at the questions she had selected from online users.

"This also concerns Saffron City. It is said that during the Battle of Saffron City, you forcibly kidnapped Cynthia Champion, which caused great dissatisfaction among the people of Sinnoh."

"They want you to return the Bamboo Orchid Championship to them. What's your opinion on that?"

Pansy continued the interview.

Good guy!
Haruka's mouth dropped open in excitement, while Daigo watched Mammon with great interest, wondering how he would respond.

The affair between Mammon and Zhulan was not exactly a secret to them.

As far as Daigo knows, it seems that Rin is already pregnant?

After all, Cynthia hasn't appeared in the public eye for two or three months, and she hasn't returned to the Sinnoh region.

“Nonsense.” Mammon simply smiled at this.

"Zhu Lan and I are deeply in love, who are they to object?"

"By the way, Cynthia is currently resting during her pregnancy and is not considering returning to the Sinnoh region for the time being. Thank you."

The Sinnoh region is in an uproar!
