Sird walked out of Mammon's room, her face full of joy. This is great!
She successfully made Mammon accept her. From now on, she would be Team Rocket's Sird, not an undercover agent of Team Galactic.
Hmm, she could fully display her talents in Team Rocket without carefully hiding her strength.
And she no longer needed to listen to Carr's commands, that stinky midget, she wouldn't have to tolerate him anymore!
This was truly… an unprecedentedly wonderful world!
"No."
After Sird left, Caitlin emerged from around the corner, confirming this point.
Originally, she was going to train Little Lugia, but a thought came to her, and she suddenly found herself in front of Mammon's room.
And… there really was someone inside!
But now Caitlin was certain. Firstly, Sird's appearance definitely didn't match Mammon's aesthetic, so Mammon couldn't possibly be interested in her.
Secondly, and most importantly, Sird had only been in Mammon's room for a dozen minutes. Mammon's time was not that short!
So Caitlin could say with certainty that Sird must have come to Mammon to discuss serious matters.
As evening arrived, Mammon and Caitlin finished dinner and went to a training ground.
Then Mammon took out a Poké Ball, and a look of confusion appeared in Caitlin's eyes.
Because it was a red and white Poké Ball, and it was worth noting that none of Mammon's main Pokémon were kept in red and white Poké Balls.
"Come out." Mammon opened the Poké Ball.
White light landed, and a shadow appeared on the spot. Before long, the shadow twisted and changed, gradually transforming into a Pokémon that resembled a nightmare.
"This is… Darkrai?"
Caitlin instantly recognized this Pokémon; it was Darkrai, one of the legendary 'Pokémon of Dreams and Moon' from the Sinnoh region!
"That's right, it's Darkrai, given to me by Sird."
Mammon looked at the tranquil Darkrai in front of him with satisfaction. Compared to Landorus and the others, he wasn't conflicted about Darkrai at all, because he really liked Darkrai!
Although Darkrai's appearance was full of dark style and it didn't look like a proper Pokémon, that was actually the case.
The 'Pokémon of Dreams and Moon' referred to Darkrai and Cresselia, and compared to the beautiful dreams of Cresselia, Darkrai was undoubtedly disliked by humans.
Because its ability, Bad Dreams, caused humans to have nightmares if it was nearby while they slept.
Moreover, Darkrai's classification was also a Dark Pokémon, and its appearance was so evil, so ordinary people naturally didn't like Darkrai.
However, Mammon just happened to like this kind of dark-style Pokémon the most!
He planned to form a team entirely composed of dark-style Pokémon in the future. The main Pokémon currently decided for the team included Dark Mewtwo, Darkrai, and the yet-to-be-captured Dark Lugia and Yveltal.
Hmm, perfect.
And it had to be said, in Mammon's aesthetic, Darkrai was truly very cool.
Darkrai floated silently in front of Mammon, its blue eyes quietly observing Mammon and Caitlin, without a sound.
"Sird has given you to me. You don't think highly of her, right?"
Mammon spoke directly to Darkrai. In reality, although Darkrai's appearance and ability were dark-themed, Darkrai's temper wasn't actually that bad.
Putting aside other Darkrai, just this one here.
Sird's Darkrai was her hidden ace, but as Sird herself said, she couldn't use Darkrai well.
The main reason was that this Darkrai was too strong; Sird could often only use it for emergency rescues, and usually couldn't command it at all.
This also directly led to Sird having to release this Darkrai at the end of the special chapter, and she even released Darkrai into the Distortion World.
The Distortion World, the world on the other side of the world, this is the official name.
And the common name circulated among the people is the Distortion World, that's right, it's the world where Giratina lives.
However, to make up for her previous undercover identity, Sird offered Darkrai to Mammon, which could be considered an atonement.
Of course, the main reason was that Sird really couldn't command Darkrai, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have been willing to part with it.
"…" Darkrai remained silent.
"Your strength is very great, and following Sird truly has been a waste of your power. From now on, follow me, and I will treat you well."
Mammon raised the red and white Poké Ball, directly pressed the release button, and then casually tossed the Poké Ball away.
"What do you think?"
Mammon took out a brand new Ultra Ball and dangled it in front of Darkrai.
Darkrai's blue eyes fixed on Mammon, its body instantly retreated a distance, and it assumed a battle stance facing Mammon.
Clearly, it wanted to test Mammon's skill.
"A battle? That works out perfectly."
Mammon chuckled. He thought this was for the best.
"Mewtwo."
Dark Mewtwo appeared in front of Mammon, its purple-flamed eyes fixated on Darkrai.
Although Dark Mewtwo's Psychic typing was useless against Darkrai, Dark Mewtwo was Psychic/Dark dual-typed.
So strictly speaking, this was a battle between Dark types.
"You need to use your full power, let me see your full power."
Mammon's lips curved slightly.
…
Two days passed in a flash.
Inside a luxurious villa in Saffron City, Mammon sat on the central sofa in the spacious living room.
At the same time, many people were also seated on the sofas on both sides.
"So today, the main reason for gathering everyone here is for the organization's strategic direction going forward."
"I'm sure everyone knows what happened two days ago."
Mammon put down his wine glass and smiled as he looked at everyone in front of him.
That's right, he had gathered all the current high-ranking cadres from the Kanto region.
Now that he was officially the boss of Team Rocket, and this organization was his, he naturally had to do things his way.
Mammon didn't even call Giovanni over.
Again, just let that old man play in the League by himself; Team Rocket no longer needed him to worry.
"Hahaha~ Boss is awesome! I felt so fired up when I heard it!"
The tall and strong Lt. Surge laughed excitedly.
"Mammon-sama truly has charisma, I deeply admire him." The middle-aged man dressed like a ninja slowly said.
He was Koga, one of Team Rocket's Three Beasts.
Sabrina was expressionless, like an exquisite doll, only her eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Mammon.
"Boss, what are your instructions next?"
A short-haired young man, dressed in white and as elegant as a gentleman, respectfully smiled and asked Mammon.
He was Archer, the leader of Team Rocket's Four Generals.
Hmm, he was the high-ranking cadre Mammon had requested from Giovanni before but couldn't get.
But now, Archer had become his person, hmph hmph hmph~
Archer's strength wasn't particularly outstanding, but his intelligence was very high, his management ability was excellent, and most importantly, he was fiercely loyal to Team Rocket.
"No rush, let me first introduce these new colleagues to you. I'm sure you're all very curious."
Mammon gestured to the people on his left.
Then Mammon successively introduced Caitlin, Zinnia, Colress, N, Rika, Gladion, and Itsuki.
He also introduced the 'old timers' of Team Rocket, such as the Three Beasts, the Four Generals, and the Three Beasts.
Archer nodded and greeted Caitlin and the others in a friendly manner, secretly sighing at Young Master Mammon's excellence.
In just over half a year, he had gathered so many strong individuals.
He had heard from Giovanni that the top cadres among these people, Caitlin and the others, were all Champion-level!
Although the addition of Caitlin and the others also meant that their status as high-ranking cadres in the organization had declined, Archer didn't care.
Because, without a doubt, Team Rocket was now stronger!
But in reality, Colress and his group were just as surprised as Archer and the others.
Sabrina, Koga, Lt. Surge—all three were official Gym Leaders in Kanto!
Especially Sabrina and Koga, both were very famous and skilled Gym Leaders in Kanto.
He never expected that out of Kanto's eight official Gyms, three actually belonged to Team Rocket.
This was truly… hilarious.
"No wonder Team Rocket was able to develop under the high pressure of the Kanto League."
Colress couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He just didn't know who the original boss of Team Rocket really was.
As for Mammon saying that the original Team Rocket boss had been eliminated by him, just listen to it.
Couldn't Colress know? Mammon flew from Unova to Goldenrod City yesterday, and after getting off the plane, he went directly to the Radio Tower.
Where would he have had the time to eliminate the original Team Rocket boss?
Moreover, Archer and these other high-ranking cadres of the original Team Rocket clearly weren't surprised at all by Mammon becoming the leader; they were even sincerely convinced.
It was clear that Mammon and the original Team Rocket boss had an unusual relationship.
Colress kept pondering in his mind.
"Everyone has gotten acquainted, so now I will talk about the organization's future development strategy," Mammon said.
"Of course, boss points, and we strike! Boss, are we going to overthrow the Kanto League?"
Carr was very excited.
He felt that with Team Rocket's current strength, they could totally go head-to-head with the Kanto League for a decisive battle.
Overthrowing the Kanto League was just around the corner!
"When did I ever say I was going to overthrow the Kanto League?" Mammon raised an eyebrow.
"Huh?" Carr was stunned.
"Overthrowing the Pokemon League is the most foolish act, Carr. Use your brain, what benefit is there for us in overthrowing the League?"
Mammon glanced at Carr. Overthrowing the Pokemon League was not impossible, but it had no benefit for Team Rocket.
On the contrary, there were too many disadvantages, and if they really went to full-scale war with the Pokemon League, then this stable and harmonious world would fall into complete chaos.
Even if they defeated the Pokemon League and took its place, could the public accept it? Both development and economy would undoubtedly regress.
And secretly, the number of people who would want to overthrow Team Rocket's rule and re-establish the Pokemon League would definitely be countless.
There were many ways to dominate this world, but choosing to go to full-scale war with the Pokemon League was the worst option.
"We develop our own way. Occasionally, we can indeed play around with the League, but you must remember, although our positions are different from the League, we are not unable to coexist, understand?"
Mammon looked around. This was the most basic principle that these high-ranking Team Rocket members had to understand.
"I don't care how you developed before, but starting today, you all must manage your subordinates well and strictly follow the rules from now on."
"If anyone doesn't listen, you deal with your subordinates yourselves. If you can't handle it, report it."
"I will have Zinnia be responsible for this aspect. If any manager violates the regulations, Zinnia will make sure you understand the consequences."
Mammon said indifferently. Unlike the branches in Alola, Hoenn, and Unova, Team Rocket in Kanto was truly an Evil Organization before.
Changing it wouldn't happen overnight, but it would come with time.
Team Rocket led by Mammon and the Pokemon League have different stances, this is inevitable, but only because the Pokemon League cannot accept Team Rocket right now.
After all, in the League's eyes, Team Rocket might still be the old Evil Organization, Team Rocket.
And Team Rocket was indeed shaking the League's ruling position.
Upon hearing this, Zinnia gave Archer and the others a big smile, looking very clean and refreshing.
However, Archer and the others dared not underestimate her; she was a Champion-level Trainer of the Dragon type.
"Understood, sir."
Archer responded seriously. Although he was actually used to the former Team Rocket's style, since Mammon wanted to change it, he supported it.
Anyway, he just had to listen to Mammon.
"Indeed, boss is very wise." Colress agreed wholeheartedly. He also felt the same way; going down a dark path had no future.
The development model of Unova Team Rocket was very good.
N also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Mammon's words reassured him.
What he feared most was Team Rocket going to war with the Pokemon League and fighting to the bitter end, but Mammon was clearly very rational.
Mammon nodded in satisfaction.
"You must understand, the king of the underground world is still a king."
"And the king of this world from now on will be our Team Rocket!"
Hmm, as for the Pokemon League, if the old man is capable enough, won't it also belong to Team Rocket?
Moreover, if there's a way in the future, Team Rocket's goal is the star-spangled sea!
Just like Rainbow Rocket, to develop across parallel worlds.
However, Mammon still didn't know how to travel through parallel worlds yet. He hoped Rainbow Rocket would come in the future.
That way, he could get the method of traveling through parallel worlds from Rainbow Giovanni.
