I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

Kanto region, Evergreen City.

Boss Sakaki was a little distressed today.

He hasn't felt this way in a long time.

The development of the Rainbow Rocket Team is in full swing all over the world.

Ever since he followed Aisha's advice and transformed the former criminal organization Team Rocket into the current serious business Team Rainbow Rocket, Sakaki has obtained many things that he never dared to ask for before.

Compared to the poaching, robbery and crime that were considered the main business of the old Rockets, doing legitimate business can bring in several times more profits.

The Rainbow Rocket Team has only been around for a short year, but the wealth it has brought to Sakaki is the sum of the previous years.

This opened a door to a new world for Sakaki, and also made many grassroots players who had transitioned from the old Rocket Team realize a very important thing - it turns out that one can reach the pinnacle of life without doing bad things.

Sakaki himself is not very interested in wealth.

After all, even if there was no Rainbow Rocket Team, the wealth he accumulated in the first half of his life would be enough for him and his son Silver to live a rich life.

But people have to do something while they are alive, right?

Sakaki's original intention in establishing the old Team Rocket was not to become the dark emperor of the underworld in Kanto and Johto, nor was it for money and fame. He simply wanted to find his son Gin who had been kidnapped by criminals.

To outsiders, Sakaki was the evil emperor who had once single-handedly commanded the entire Team Rocket and spread the organization's tentacles throughout the Kanto and Johto regions. His power was so great that he could even compete with the alliances in these two regions, leaving the alliance helpless against him.

Some people have praised Sakaki's courage and determination, and believe that it is really amazing that he can reach the height he is today from being a mere Gym Leader of a Evergreen Gym.

Some people also admire Sakaki's power. After all, he was able to defeat Dragonite, the current champion of the Johto region and the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Kanto region, with a Beedrill that could be found almost everywhere in the Evergreen Forest. He was truly a miraculous existence and a role model for all insect catchers.

The Tyrant, the Trainer who surpasses the Champion, the Boss of Team Rocket, the Criminal Genius...

These titles, which do not sound very nice but are full of value, were given to Sakaki by both his own people and outsiders.

He didn't care about these things before.

Being in a high position and powerful, the proud Sakaki doesn't care at all about the evaluation given to him by the weaker people below.

Even though some of these comments were quite harsh and unpleasant, almost pointing at his nose and scolding him, he didn't care at all.

Because no matter how much the weak ones say, their spit will not spray on Sakaki.

No matter how harshly they curse, when they are really asked to stand in front of him, they will only reveal a fawning smile of fear and respect.

Boring and ridiculous - Sakaki gave a sharp comment on this.

But now it won't work.

Now that his son is found, Sakaki must pay attention to his image and reputation.

Sakaki himself may not care about Team Rocket and his image in the eyes of outsiders, but Gin cares whether his father is a villain.

Just like Aisha once said.

No child would want a heinous criminal to be his father, especially when he grew up as an orphan wandering around. Compared with normal children, he longs for family affection and love more.

There is no doubt that Sakaki disappointed Gin during their first meeting.

Having searched for family affection for more than ten years and waited for his father for more than ten years, Gin must have imagined in his dreams countless times at midnight that his father was a great man and a respected existence. But at that time, Sakaki was just a criminal wanted by the whole world, a bad guy who hurt Gin's friends.

Even after that, Sakaki risked his life to save Gin's life, and the relationship between father and son eased.

However, as long as Sakaki remains the boss of Team Rocket, there will always be an invisible barrier between the father and son, and they will never resolve their differences or reconcile.

And from that moment on, Sakaki began to care about what others thought of him.

After all, although he can ignore anyone's evaluation, Sakaki cannot ignore Gin's opinion of him.

He didn't want to be hated by his own son, and didn't want to be looked at like a villain.

Just as Gin once imagined that his father might be a great and respected man, Sakaki also wanted to become a great and respected man like his imaginary father.

But he didn't know how to do it.

After more than ten years of searching day after day and more than ten years of sitting in the position of the boss of Team Rocket, Sakaki has long forgotten how to be a good person and how to get Gin's recognition.

As proud as he is, even though he really wants to reconcile with Yin, his pride as a father and some of his mentality as a patriarch prevent him from lowering his head to talk to Yin, nor can he "turn over a new leaf".

In addition, the Rockets at that time had grown to a considerable size and was no longer the small organization it was at the beginning.

Admittedly, Sakaki's original intention of establishing Team Rocket was to find Gin, but now he also needs to be responsible for everyone in Team Rocket.

Everyone on Team Rocket is not his tool to find Silver.

Apart from a small number of truly vicious criminals, there were actually no bad people in the Rocket Team at that time. Most people joined the Rocket Team because they could no longer survive and had no other choice.

They needed to eat, and there was no way Sakaki would abandon them.

So he was in a dilemma.

On one hand, there is his own son, who is constantly in trouble with the international police and investigators because of his father, who is the boss of Team Rocket.

On the one hand, they admire and trust him, and even though they know that his original intention of founding the Rockets was to find his son, he still spares no effort to support his subordinates.

Fortunately, Aisha appeared at this time.

He first defeated Sakaki with his unmatched and terrifying power that shocked Sakaki, and shattered all of Sakaki's self-esteem and pride in one battle.

Then he patiently persuaded Sakaki, who was no longer arrogant, using Gin as the starting point, and pointed out the way for him to turn over a new leaf, and told him how to gain Gin's approval.

At that time, Aisha said that the evil Team Rocket was not qualified to be accepted by Silver, so he needed to change Team Rocket, turning the evil Team Rocket into the righteous Team Rocket, into the Rainbow Rocket Team that could be accepted by Silver and was also synonymous with justice in the eyes of the public.

Anyway, Sakaki himself said that most of the people in Team Rocket are poor people who chose to join Team Rocket after they had no other choice. In addition to the criminal business of poaching and robbery, Team Rocket also has some legal and formal jobs.

Since everyone on Team Rocket is willing to help him find his son, most people should agree with Team Rocket's transformation from an evil criminal organization to a just and legitimate enterprise.

When the Rainbow Rocket Team's influence among the people further expands, and when Sakaki's identity and reputation change from the boss of a criminal organization to an outstanding entrepreneur, what reason will Gin have not to recognize him as a father?

Aisha's words were so tempting that Sakaki was moved.

So, the old Rocket Team transformed into today's Rainbow Rocket Team, and everyone in the old Rocket Team was very happy to follow Sakaki in the transformation.

In the final analysis, everyone is just trying to make a living. If there really is a choice, who would be willing to become a criminal wanted by the alliance and despised by passers-by?

We've had enough of being treated like street rats.

Now, Sakaki can give everyone a chance to clean up their act and get away with it, and 95% of the old Rocket Team decisively chose to agree.

While shouting slogans such as "Long live Boss Sakaki!" and "Long live Coach Ai!", they threw themselves into their regular work with a more positive attitude than ever before, making the new Rainbow Rocket Team flourish.

The team members who are not good at fighting are responsible for doing business and trading.

The original fighters of the old Rocket Team, under the organization of Aisha, Watari, and Sakaki, became a fighting force that worked together with the international police and investigators to fight other criminals.

The current Rainbow Rocket Team can be said to be a semi-official organization.

The image of the Rainbow Rocket Team, Sakaki, and everyone in the Rainbow Rocket Team has gradually changed in the eyes of the public, from being despised by everyone to being praised by everyone.

At this point, Sakaki's goal has been achieved.

He went from being the source of shame and pain that Yin couldn't talk about at the beginning to a father that Yin could proudly say his name out loud.

So Sakaki became more motivated.

In order to be a father that his son can be proud of, he decided to further develop the Rainbow Rockets and make them a world-famous and powerful organization, so that his son can hold his head high and be proud of himself no matter where he goes.

So after stabilizing the basic base in the Kanto and Johto regions, Sakaki began to try to let the Rainbow Rocket Team "go abroad" and develop in other regions.

And Sakaki's business acumen was brought to its fullest at this moment.

To this day, Team Rainbow Rocket is thriving in Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova.

Because of the exhibition match between Aisha and Dandi at the Gongmen Arena in Gongmen City, the Rainbow Rocket Team also established cooperation with the Galar region's leading enterprise, the Marrokomon Group. Although it is impossible for them to surpass the Marrokomon Group in the future, they will not have to worry about development there.

As for the Alola and Padya regions, they are developing slowly because they are too far away and cannot get much support from the headquarters, but overall there is still hope for the future.

Only in the Kalos region, the development of the Rainbow Rocket Team gave Sakaki some headaches.

Mainly because of the existence of Team Flare.

The Flare Team is an old organization that has been active in the Kalos region for a long time, and its leader is the Lion Head named Fradili.

Sakaki has always respected the strong, and Vladali is a strong man that even he has to recognize and even praise.

In terms of power, although Team Flare is not as powerful as Team Rainbow Rocket today, it is still a force that cannot be underestimated in the Kalos region where it is based.

In terms of influence, although he was reluctant, Sakaki had to admit that in today's international arena, his influence was still somewhat inferior to that of Vlada.

After all, he had been active as a wanted criminal for the first half of his life, and it had only been a year since he was cleansed and released.

However, Vladali's image as an outstanding entrepreneur and philanthropist has been established for more than ten or twenty years. The two are completely incomparable.

The development of the Rainbow Rocket Team in the Kalos region has been stagnant precisely because it has been hindered by the local bully Team Flare.

If it weren't for the assistance of Musashi, Kojiro and Meowth, three business geniuses, who helped the Rainbow Rocket Team's branch in Miare City to successfully complete several big deals, lay a solid foundation in one go, and break through the suppression of the Flare Team, the Rainbow Rocket Team branch stationed in Miare City might still have to rely on the Flare Team's wishes to do business until today.

But in the past few days, something that made Sakakichi sad happened again.

He received a call from the head of the Carlos regional branch and learned that in recent days, there seemed to be another conflict between his people and the Flare Team.

As for the cause of the conflict, it was because Aisha, who was participating in the World Championship in Miare City during this period, ordered the Rainbow Rocket Team to cover a giant nearly three meters tall to escape from Miare City. That giant seemed to be the target that the Flare Team was looking for.

I see—after listening to the person in charge's story, Sakaki was lost in thought.

He didn't rush to blame Aisha. After all, he knew Aisha's personality and style of doing things, and knew that Aisha would not do meaningless things.

Sakaki firmly believed that there must be a deeper meaning behind Aisha's actions.

Moreover, even if it was really Aisha's decision-making mistake this time, Sakaki would never blame Aisha for it.

After all, Aisha can be said to be the benefactor of him and the entire Rainbow Rocket Team.

The business in the Kalos region is certainly important, but in Sakaki's heart it is still not as important as a hair of Aisha.

Sakaki had previously given Aisha the Mega Evolution Stone of Bankiras and bought a house for Aisha in the Great Yan area, all to repay his guidance.

However, Sakaki felt that this level of repayment was far from enough.

If all else fails, and the people from Team Flare go too far, Sakaki feels that he can fly over directly and talk to their boss, Vladali.

He believes that the most important thing between people is communication.

I believe that after I bring Beedrill and Nidoking and talk to Fradili, the conflicts encountered by Team Rainbow Rocket in the Kalos region will be easily resolved.

But at the same time, Sakaki was also very curious about why Aisha was so concerned about the giant.

When he received the call from the person in charge, he also got the photo of the giant that Aisha ordered to protect.

When Sakaki saw the homeless man in the photo who was nearly three meters tall, he could tell at a glance that he was extraordinary with his experienced eyesight.

Sakaki was very curious about this person's background, so he planned to call Aisha to ask her intentions.

"That person is quite special. We must not let him fall into the hands of Team Flare and Vladari in the short term, otherwise there will be a big mess."

Aisha responded like this on the phone.

"Oh."

Sakaki could tell that Aisha didn't really want to tell him the truth, so he didn't force her.

After all, ever since Sakaki learned that Aisha was the trainer of Rayquaza, he knew that this kid had many unknown secrets.

The situation this time is probably similar, and it probably involves the issue of Legendary Pokémon again.

As a mortal like me, I shouldn't get involved in this matter. It's more important to accompany my son.

It had been such a long time since he last spoke to Aisha on the phone, and Sakaki was reluctant to hang up the phone, so he started to find topics to talk about.

"Coach Ai."

In a voice that pretended to be calm, Sakaki asked Aisha on the other end of the line, "How do you think we, the Rainbow Rocket, can resolve the conflict with the Flare Team in Kalos?"

This is also an issue that Sakaki is very concerned about now, and he wants to hear what Aisha has to say.

"You don't have to worry about that."

Then, he heard Aisha say calmly on the other end of the phone: "Because Team Flare will be destroyed in two months."

Sakaki: "?"

A question mark popped up above his head, and Sakaki's thoughts stopped for a moment because of Aisha's words.

Knowing that Aisha had a gentle personality, he originally thought that Aisha would come up with some constructive business plans, but he did not expect Aisha to react like this.

Imagining Aisha uttering such horrible words with a cold face on the other end of the phone, an idea came to Sakaki's mind.

"Are you going to kill the entire Vladali family?"

Aisha: "?"
