"Father… Father…"
In Jubilife City, the blue-haired girl who had just hung up the phone was already a bit flustered. She was originally a pampered young lady; how could she have encountered such a thing?
"Mother, no, I can't contact Mother."
Platinum took a deep breath and immediately extinguished the thought of contacting her mother.
Her father had been kidnapped by an Evil Organization. Even if she contacted her mother, it would be useless, only adding one more person to worry.
Moreover, the other party had already explicitly told her to go to Professor Rowan's laboratory.
Contact Champion Cynthia!
Platinum confirmed her idea and immediately called Cynthia. During her journey, whether by fate or not, she had met Cynthia several times.
And Cynthia indeed thought highly of Platinum, taking great care of this junior, even giving Platinum her private contact information.
The call went through and was answered shortly after.
"Is that Platinum?" Cynthia's magnetic and calm voice came through.
"Yes, Champion Cynthia, my father has been kidnapped!"
Platinum's tone was very hurried; she was clearly very flustered. Although she forced herself to calm down, she was still just a sixteen-year-old girl after all.
And she had always been very well protected by her father, having never experienced any of the world's dangers.
"Calm down, Platinum. Who kidnapped Mr. Bellritz? Team Galactic?" Champion Cynthia frowned slightly, soothing Platinum as she asked.
Who would be so bold? To dare to kidnap even Mr. Bellritz?
But after much thought, it could only be Team Galactic.
"No, it's not Team Galactic, Champion Cynthia. He said they were from Team Rockets."
Platinum also knew about Team Galactic. She had encountered members of Team Galactic several times during her travels.
But she remembered very clearly that the other side had mentioned their organization.
"Team Rockets?!"
Champion Cynthia's eyes changed, and her mood instantly surged.
So, Team Rockets, have they really landed in the Sinnoh region?
"I understand, Platinum. Are you still in Jubilife City? I'll be right over. Don't act rashly."
"Yes, Champion Cynthia, they are currently at Professor Rowan's laboratory."
Platinum nodded.
"Okay, I'll be there now. It will take about two hours."
"Mm-hmm."
Platinum responded, ending the call. Platinum looked towards Sandgem Town.
Her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She recalled Mr. Bellritz's words on the phone, that he did it for her…
Champion Cynthia would still need two hours to arrive, but would the Evil Organization of Team Rockets wait? What kind of torment would her father endure?
As soon as she thought of this, Platinum felt anxious, and then she made up her mind.
It was just an Evil Organization. No matter what, she couldn't watch her father suffer!
"Garchomp!"
Platinum threw out her Garchomp, then rode on it and flew towards Sandgem Town.
Meanwhile, at Professor Rowan's laboratory.
"Would you two like some?"
Mammon looked at the steaming, fragrant instant noodles and asked Mr. Bellritz and Professor Rowan.
Professor Rowan's face twitched. How should he put it? He couldn't see even a hint of urgency from Mammon and the other two.
Speaking of which, Mr. Bellritz had already told that child, Dawn, to notify Champion Cynthia, hadn't he?
"Aren't you afraid?" Finally, Professor Rowan couldn't help but ask Mammon.
"Afraid of what?" Mammon slurped a mouthful of hot instant noodles, feigning confusion.
"Platinum will definitely contact Champion Cynthia, and Champion Cynthia will probably bring people over very soon," Professor Rowan said.
"Isn't that perfect? I haven't had a chance to get close to Champion Cynthia in a while. It's a good opportunity to take a new set of couple photos."
Mammon smiled brightly. How could he not have a deep exchange with Champion Cynthia when he came to her territory?
Caitlin remained silent.
"?"
Professor Rowan was puzzled, while Mr. Bellritz, who had been in low spirits, was startled.
"Wait! You're the one who took couple photos with Champion Cynthia?!"
Mr. Bellritz exclaimed, no wonder he felt Mammon looked familiar.
When Champion Cynthia's couple photos were circulated, it caused a sensation throughout the entire Sinnoh region.
Countless Sinnoh people cried out in sorrow. After all, Champion Cynthia was their pride and their dream girl, both beautiful and strong!
"That's right, Mr. Bellritz. Aren't we a good match?" Mammon asked with a smile.
"…Indeed."
Mr. Bellritz's tone was very surprised, but under Mammon's gaze, he still nodded from the heart.
A good match? From the perspective of the photos alone, they were indeed a good match, handsome man and beautiful woman.
But knowing their identities, how were they a good match?
Caitlin's cold gaze swept over Mr. Bellritz, causing Mr. Bellritz to inexplicably shrink back. So cold!
"Actually, you don't need to be so afraid. We, Team Rockets, are very different from those trashy Evil Organizations. We have noble ideals and goals. As long as you cooperate well, you will be fine."
Mammon wiped his mouth with a napkin and slowly spoke to the two scholars in a leisurely manner.
"Moreover, our coming to Sinnoh is a blessing for your Sinnoh region. How will you Sinnoh people deal with those Team Galactic lunatics who want to destroy the world yourselves?"
What Mammon was referring to, of course, was Team Galactic. Team Galactic was a classic pathological organization led by extreme fanatics.
They believed that 'hearts' were imperfect things, that this world with 'hearts' was beyond saving, and that people with 'hearts' were incomplete beings.
Then Cyrus wanted to use Dialga and Palkia to destroy the existing world and create a new, ideal world without 'hearts'.
This was pure, unadulterated fanaticism!
Although Lysandre of Team Flare also wanted to destroy the world, Lysandre at least had a reason to say so.
Team Flare was originally a non-profit organization led by Lysandre, providing free help to all those in need.
But in the end, Lysandre was driven mad by those shameless freeloaders, which is why he conceived the idea of eliminating those humans.
But Cyrus was different. Because he was naturally emotionally detached and had exceptional intelligence, he inherently believed himself to be superior, thinking that people with 'hearts' were incomplete.
Even his Team Galactic subordinates were just tools in his eyes, useless and incomplete beings.
Ultimately, Cyrus was a person immersed in his own world, self-righteously attempting to create a 'perfect world'.
"…"
Professor Rowan and Mr. Bellritz both remained silent. Clearly, in their view, Team Galactic?
Champion Cynthia could solve it. In their opinion, Team Galactic posed no significant threat.
Mammon didn't bother to explain. In fact, many people in many regions shared this view.
Just like Steven and Wallace initially didn't take Team Magma and Team Aqua seriously, but later it was proven how much harm Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon awakening would cause if Team Magma and Team Aqua were truly allowed to run wild.
And Team Galactic was the same. Currently, no one in Sinnoh could guess Team Galactic's conspiracy, and no one knew that Cyrus's goal was the two gods of time and space.
And Cyrus could actually succeed.
Mammon felt it was too stifling inside the laboratory, so the few of them came outside the laboratory.
Mammon took out a lounge chair and comfortably basked in the sun.
About ten minutes later.
"Father!" Platinum arrived as promised.
"Platinum! Didn't I tell you not to come?"
Mr. Bellritz was both terrified and moved at this moment. He naturally understood why Platinum appeared here.
"Don't worry, Father, I will rescue you!"
Platinum made her promise to Mr. Bellritz. She had originally thought there would be many Team Rockets members.
But if there were only three people, Platinum felt she could do it. She was a very strong Trainer now!
"Oh? Miss Platinum is very confident."
Mammon raised an eyebrow, sizing up Platinum in front of him.
She was almost exactly as he remembered: blue hair, wearing a white cotton hat, with delicate and fair features.
Her slender and graceful figure wore a dress, with black thigh-high socks reaching above her knees, and the pure white skin of her thighs formed an absolute territory between them and the hem of her skirt.
She was a very beautiful young girl, and as the daughter of Bellritz, Platinum's demeanor was also quite elegant and reserved.
At the same time, her strength was also outstanding.
Mammon looked at the Garchomp and Empoleon in front of Platinum. Their aura was very strong, which was evident.
"Evil Team Rockets! Why did you kidnap my father and Professor Rowan?"
Platinum suppressed her emotions and questioned Mammon, who was leading them.
"This is what your family owes us."
"Impossible! Nonsense!"
Platinum didn't believe it at all. Team Rockets was an Evil Organization from Kanto, and their Bellritz Family had always been in the Sinnoh region. How could they have a grudge with Team Rockets?
"Don't believe it? Ask your father." Mammon shrugged.
Platinum looked at her father. Mr. Bellritz noticed Platinum's gaze, opened his mouth but said nothing, only shaking his head at Platinum.
Regarding the 'Rayquaza Capture Plan', their Bellritz Family was indeed in the wrong.
But in Mr. Bellritz's view, all the people who participated in that plan back then were already in prison, which could be considered atonement.
However, Team Rockets clearly wouldn't let it go, but what could he do?
And seeing that Mr. Bellritz didn't refute, Platinum roughly understood that there might really be such a thing?
"Professor Rowan is indeed an innocent victim, but don't worry, I won't harm Professor Rowan, but your father…"
"Hehehehe~"
The Shinny Gengar floated out of the shadows, revealing an evil smile, its claws gently tracing Mr. Bellritz's face.
Platinum's face instantly turned pale.
"Please don't harm my father!"
The daughter of Bellritz hurriedly spoke.
"No problem, of course, no problem, Miss Platinum. I've also heard that you are a genius girl in the Trainer field, something that has never appeared in the Bellritz Family before."
Mammon spoke leisurely.
Platinum pursed her lips, not knowing what Mammon wanted to say.
"Let's make a deal. As long as you agree, I will immediately release Mr. Bellritz and promise you that I will not pursue other members of the Bellritz Family who were not involved in that incident."
"What deal?"
Although she didn't understand the full details yet, Platinum still responded when she heard this.
"Let's do it the Trainer way. I have three people here, and you can choose one to challenge. As long as you win, we will leave immediately."
"But if you lose…"
Mammon's words stopped abruptly, but the meaning was already self-evident.
Platinum instantly felt immense pressure, looking at the three people opposite her.
Mammon, Caitlin, Zinnia!
No matter which one, they all looked very difficult to deal with, and all seemed very strong.
But Platinum understood that she had to win!
"I am a Trainer recognized even by Champion Cynthia!"
Platinum gripped the Poké Ball in her hand, her eyes firm.
She would win!
