"I'm really going to get angry!"
Ho-Oh's telepathy was extremely resolute.
"Alright, alright, I understand." Mammon blinked.
"Don't worry, Ho-Oh, please trust my character. Next time, it definitely won't be opponents of the level of a Black Rayquaza or Unova Kyurem."
Mammon made a promise, well, first stabilize Ho-Oh, and next time's matters can be discussed next time.
Besides, Black Rayquaza and Unova Kyurem have already fought once, so of course, it won't be them next time.
"?"
Ho-Oh tilted its head, its eyes full of scrutiny. Do you even have character?
Ho-Oh felt that Mammon, this human, had no clear self-awareness.
"Alright, summon me again if something comes up next time."
However, for now, it could only trust this human. Ho-Oh truly felt that it was too foolish back then, really.
To actually make a three-part agreement with him, after these two times, it was beaten half to death each time, a huge loss.
"Goodbye~" Mammon waved goodbye very amicably.
Ho-Oh snorted coldly, turned, flapped its wings, and flew away. This time, it was truly gone.
"It's finally over."
Mammon stretched. The outcome this time was quite good.
He had witnessed the power of Unova Kyurem, and had cooperated with Black Rayquaza once, leaving a deeper good impression.
And he successfully rescued Zekrom, which meant N had officially joined Team Rockets, adding another great general to Team Rockets.
Most importantly, he got a chance to capture Kyurem! This was what Mammon valued most.
A Kyurem that hadn't devoured the Black Dragon and White Dragon wasn't impossible to defeat, but using Primal Kyogre to fight Kyurem was indeed too difficult, he still needed to see.
"Mammon, Mammon, look, there are so many."
Ho-Oh had left, and Jirachi, like presenting a treasure, handed the rainbow feather it had picked up to Mammon, its tender and cute voice very excited.
"Tini Tini~!" Victini also proudly displayed the rainbow feather in its arms.
"Great~! I'll reward you well when we get back." Mammon rubbed the heads of these two little cuties.
"Hehe~" Jirachi smiled so much its eyes were practically invisible.
Mammon looked around. There were ice traces and Icicle Spear spikes everywhere, or just a mess, with several huge craters.
It could be said that this former site of the Unova League was completely ruined.
The ice here was all created by Unova Kyurem. Who knew how long it would take for it to melt naturally?
It should be known that in the original game, Opelucid City was frozen by Kyurem, and in the game's ending screen, Xiaka was still leading people to clear the ice from Opelucid City.
This shows how hard Kyurem's ice is.
What's more, this was ice crystal frozen by Unova Kyurem.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Genesect was finally hit by a perfect Flamethrower from Cinderace, sending Genesect flying and directly collapsing to the ground, losing its combat ability.
"So strong~!"
Colress recalled Genesect, looked at Champion Leon opposite him, and couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart.
Although he always claimed to be a researcher, he was very confident in his Trainer strength.
And the facts proved this point: he defeated Alder and Wallace one against two.
Although Alder's Trainer skills had severely declined, and Wallace was just a former Water-type Champion.
But at least they were both Champion-level Trainers, and among the Trainers standing at the peak of the world.
Yet now, he and Caitlin, teaming up, were no match for Leon.
"Hmm, Mammon said that Leon is one of the top Trainers in the world. Currently, there are probably no more than three Trainers who can consistently defeat Leon head-on."
Caitlin recalled her Gallade, which had lost its combat ability. She had truly experienced Leon's strength today.
His Charizard Y and Dragapult were truly terrifying.
And the Cinderace and Rillaboom he sent out afterward were also astonishingly strong.
She even felt that all of Leon's main Pokemon were at the level of other Champions' ace Pokemon.
No wonder even Mammon rated Leon so highly.
"Oh? Did Mammon say that?" Leon was quite surprised to hear this.
If it were someone else's evaluation, Leon wouldn't have cared, but if it was Mammon's words...
Hmm, Leon unexpectedly felt a subtle sensation.
But according to Mammon, there were still three people in this world who could consistently defeat him?
Leon was genuinely interested. After all, to be honest, if he hadn't come to support the Hoenn region at that time, he would still be 'seeking defeat alone' in the Galar region.
Mammon was one, and Giovanni could also be considered one.
If Giovanni hadn't obtained Groudon, Leon believed he was not weaker than Giovanni, and even had confidence in suppressing Giovanni. As for the battle result, he could only say it was uncertain.
After all, if both sides are of similar strength, the battle process depends on many factors: performance, condition, on-the-spot adaptability, tactics, Pokemon matchups, and so on.
But now that Giovanni had gained Groudon's approval, Leon felt that he could not defeat Giovanni.
But what about the last one? Kanto's strongest Champion, Lance?
"You two, I don't want to make things difficult for you. You have already lost, how about surrendering?"
Leon put these irrelevant thoughts aside and spoke to Caitlin and Colress.
Caitlin merely smiled faintly without speaking, turning her head.
A gigantic golden-blue whale Pokemon could be seen flying at low altitude, which was Primal Kyogre.
And below Primal Kyogre was Mammon.
"Mammon… is it over already?"
Leon frowned. Mammon and Primal Kyogre appearing here meant that Kyurem had already been defeated?
Because he had to focus on dealing with Caitlin and Colress, he hadn't paid attention to Mammon's battlefield.
Now that he thought about it, it was true. He hadn't heard any roars from that side for a while.
It seemed it was over again.
Leon sighed inwardly. If Mammon returned to the battle, it would be very difficult.
"Are you two alright?" Mammon walked to Caitlin's side.
"I'm fine. Leon's strength is too great. Thanks to Colress for coming to assist me, otherwise I probably wouldn't have been able to hold on."
Caitlin shook her head, but the full-power battle with Leon had also brought her many insights.
"As colleagues, it's only right." Colress smiled.
"That's good. This time, I just wanted you to experience the pressure from these Champions." Mammon said with a smile.
The reason he specifically gathered Colress and the others was precisely to let them fight against the League Champions, to let them first familiarize themselves with the pressure from these Champions.
"Champion Leon, could I ask you to call Champion Alder and the others over? I think we can have a good talk."
Mammon looked at Leon. Now that even Kyurem had been defeated, the Unova League's final move had also been countered.
Mammon wanted to know Alder's current thoughts.
Leon pondered for a moment, then still contacted Alder.
Well, Alder and Wallace were currently confronting N with Cynthia, as N's Zekrom returning was a complete qualitative change for N.
After waiting for a while, both sides met again.
"Champion Alder, you two have caused me quite a bit of trouble."
Mammon looked at Alder with a half-smile.
Alder, however, felt extremely heavy-hearted at this moment. As expected, the worst-case scenario had occurred.
Even the Ice Dragon Kyurem was no match for Mammon, and this was even with Giovanni participating with Primal Groudon.
Well, Alder and the others clearly didn't know that Giovanni was heavily slacking off.
And although Primal Groudon was eager to fight Primal Kyogre, Primal Kyogre had backup, four against one wouldn't fly, and Primal Groudon couldn't fly either, its head would be bruised.
Furthermore, even without Mammon participating, although they had the advantage, they couldn't take down N and his group in a short time.
N's Zekrom had returned. While Steven had some advantage against Zinnia, the advantage wasn't significant.
With Zekrom's strength, even if it couldn't defeat Leon and Cynthia, it would be no problem to retreat with Caitlin and the others.
The main thing was that Alder hadn't expected the Unova Team Rockets to have developed to such an extent.
Five Champion-level Trainers led by Mammon. If they weren't Team Rockets, Alder would seriously want to package his Champion position and the Unova Elite Four positions and give them to Mammon.
Wouldn't the Unova League just take off directly?
"Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Jirachi used Teleport to conjure a large chair for Mammon, then floated beside Mammon, hands on its hips, chest puffed out, looking at Alder and the others with full momentum.
Victini blinked, then mimicked Jirachi, putting its two small paws on its hips. (Super fierce.jpg)
Mammon looked at Jirachi approvingly, sat down, and crossed his legs.
Alder: "…"
Alder looked at Jirachi and Victini, the two 'foxes pretending to be tigers' bodyguards on Mammon's left and right, and fell silent.
"What do you want?"
Alder also knew that his side was in a bit of a predicament.
Steven and the others remained silent; it was certainly not appropriate for these 'outsiders' to interject in this matter.
"Champion Alder, what do you think?" Mammon tossed the question back to Alder.
Alder took a deep breath.
"The Unova League can lift the bounty on Team Rockets and legalize Team Rockets' industries."
Alder said in a deep voice. He knew this was exactly what Mammon wanted.
As long as Team Rockets' industries were legalized in Unova, then Team Rockets would not be an Evil Organization but an officially recognized enterprise.
Although this decision would definitely be opposed by the Unova League's council members, Alder truly had no choice.
They oppose? Let them deal with Team Rockets themselves.
Mammon couldn't help but applaud Alder.
"As expected of Champion Alder, but that alone isn't enough." Mammon's lips curled slightly.
"What else do you want?"
"First: five billion for emotional damages. After all, Champion Alder, the Kyurem you released caused a lot of trouble for me and N."
"…" Alder instantly felt a headache. Five billion… that's not a small sum.
"Second, I need the Unova government to promote some of the industries under our company's name." Mammon smiled very brightly.
Alder's expression changed. Holy crap!!
This Mammon fellow, not only did he want them to legalize Team Rockets' company, but also official promotion?
Damn it, don't you have any idea about your own organization? Don't you know what kind of image you have in Kanto?
The Kanto League views the Kanto Rocket Gang as a thorn in its side, while the Unova League officially promotes Team Rockets' industries.
How would the Kanto League view the Unova League?
Alder thought for a long time.
"Mammon, why don't you become the Unova Champion?"
