"President! Not good! Mammon is in Galar!"
Leon said in a deep voice to Rose, who had answered the phone.
"Is that so? He finally came."
Rose, who was in Motostoke City, was not too surprised by the news; it was only a matter of time.
"President, what do you think…"
Leon didn't know how Rose would deal with Mammon.
"Leave it to me, Leon, I'll handle it." Rose's magnetic, mature voice made Leon nod.
After years of cooperation, just as Rose had absolute trust and confidence in Leon, Leon also had unwavering faith in Rose's abilities.
Rose handling this kind of negotiation would definitely not mess things up.
Leon was that confident.
After ending the call with Leon, Rose pondered for a moment.
"Olivia, check the passenger information of recent flights from out of town, find Mammon's flight and landing spot. I need to talk to him."
"Yes."
Olivia, who was behind Rose, nodded solemnly.
As long as they could find the city where Mammon's plane landed, Rose was confident he could find Mammon's location.
This was Rose's confidence.
Because in the Galar region, if he wanted to, there was no one's information he couldn't find.
Because his name was Rose!
After becoming the President of the Galar region, Rose vigorously developed all industries in the Galar region, and the largest enterprise in the entire Galar region, Macro Cosmos Group, was controlled by Rose.
What was the concept of Macro Cosmos Group in the Galar region?
Let's put it this way: aviation, railways, energy, technology, internet, construction, daily life, banking, logistics, securities, networks, and all other industries—the leaders in the Galar region were all Macro Cosmos!
It could be said that if Macro Cosmos Group collapsed, the Galar region's economy would regress by at least several decades!
This was no exaggeration, because all industries in the entire Galar region were supported by Macro Cosmos Group.
It was no exaggeration to say that eighty percent of the Galar region's wealth was in Rose's hands.
Silph Co. in Kanto and Devon Corporation in Hoenn were already top-tier enterprise groups in the world, but Macro Cosmos Group could completely rival them or even be wealthier.
However, no one in the Galar region would question Rose, because Rose was wholeheartedly dedicating everything to Galar.
Everyone could see this.
Rose was responsible for developing the Galar region's economy, while Leon was responsible for leading the Trainers in the Galar region.
This was also the most important reason why the Galar region was currently developing at a high speed, because these two people at the peak of the Galar region cooperated seamlessly and worked together.
Motostoke City.
Mammon and Caitlin returned to Motostoke City, and based on the information Serena left, the two quickly found the two girls at a training ground in Motostoke City.
However, Platinum was currently battling a Trainer.
"Hahaha~ Amazing, girl! But next, I'm going all out too!"
The young man wearing a yellow hoodie laughed wildly with excitement, throwing out his Poké Ball.
Mammon recognized him at a glance; this young man was Raihan.
How did Platinum get into a battle with Raihan?
Mammon was quite curious.
"Go wild! Archaludon!"
Raihan threw out his ace Pokémon, and the heavy Archaludon landed heavily in front of Raihan.
Emmm… he actually let Duraludon evolve?
Seeing Archaludon, Mammon couldn't help but feel a little regretful; he really wanted to see Raihan's Gigantamax Duraludon.
However, this was a real world, not a game version fixed in the eighth generation. Archaludon's strength was excellent, and it was impossible for Raihan not to let Duraludon evolve.
Raihan couldn't be crazy enough to not let Duraludon evolve just because Duraludon could Gigantamax, right?
"What a pity, this place can't Gigantamax, otherwise it would be truly refreshing to have a good time."
Raihan smacked his lips, but then a sharp and excited smile appeared on his face.
"But this is already enough! Come on, girl! This is our decisive battle!"
Clearly, Raihan was already hyped up in the battle.
The battle continued, with Raihan's Archaludon battling Platinum's Mega Garchomp after Mega Evolution.
However, unfortunately, Raihan's ace Archaludon was indeed powerful, and its ability, Stamina, continuously exerted power as the battle progressed.
Stamina: When attacked, its physical defense increases.
And for an opponent like Mega Garchomp, which relies on physical attacks, this ability was undoubtedly a natural enemy.
Although Archaludon was weak to Ground-type, Archaludon's own physical defense was actually quite high.
And for the current Platinum, Raihan's strength was still superior to hers.
Finally, Mega Garchomp still fell.
"Hoo~ What a refreshing battle!"
After defeating Platinum, Raihan showed a big smile and took a cool selfie with his Rotom Dex.
This was his habit. He started taking selfies to remind himself not to forget the unwillingness he felt when losing battles.
But later, it gradually became a habit; no matter where he went or what he was doing, he would habitually take a photo first.
"You're truly amazing, Mr. Raihan."
Platinum comforted Garchomp and said to Raihan with emotion.
"Indeed, I still need to work harder."
Platinum hadn't expected a Gym Leader from the Galar region to be so strong.
"Ha~ Don't be discouraged, girl. I am Raihan, the strongest Gym Leader in the Galar region. Losing to me is not shameful at all."
Raihan walked over, still with his signature cheerful and sharp smile.
Although he seemed arrogant and often used 'I' as a self-address, Raihan's temper was actually very good.
And his mindset was always top-notch; he would be happy if he won a battle, and he wouldn't be discouraged if he lost.
"And~ Tsk, you truly are the strongest newcomer I've ever seen. That girl Leon recommended probably isn't as good as you, that's just crazy."
Raihan tilted his head, sizing up Platinum. He couldn't help but scratch his head, a little puzzled. The newcomers who had emerged this year were truly one more exaggerated than the last.
Especially the one in front of him, whose journey hadn't even ended this year, yet she could already go back and forth with him. In two more months, wouldn't she be able to suppress him?
And this wasn't even an isolated case.
"Mr. Raihan, you flatter me." Platinum blinked. That girl Leon recommended?
Platinum had a hunch it was probably the local 'monster newcomer' of Galar, right?
Platinum was used to it; after all, it seemed every region had 'monsters' with talent like hers, making Platinum not know how to complain.
Professor Rowan clearly said she was a once-in-a-century Trainer genius…
But after joining Team Rockets, she found that the title of 'once-in-a-century' was truly too much to bear.
Perhaps it would be more fitting for her future daughter?
"I never lie, you really are the strongest newcomer I've seen so far." Raihan waved his hand.
"So~ girl over there, do you want to have a battle with me too?"
Then Raihan looked at Serena and grinned, revealing a wild smile.
He was actually just idly wandering around Motostoke City, and then he saw Serena and Platinum's special training battle, which immediately piqued his interest.
Raihan was a relatively warlike person, or rather, powerful Trainers were generally warlike.
"Then please guide me, Mr. Raihan."
Serena naturally had no reason to refuse; being able to battle a strong opponent was something to be sought after.
And he was a Champion-level Trainer like Raihan.
"Hahaha~ Come, come, come, I hope you're like that junior just now and don't disappoint me. Let's have a fiery battle!"
Raihan was in high spirits and full of passion. Once the urge to battle was ignited, it was truly difficult to extinguish.
And he was also full of anticipation for Serena.
Raihan and Serena began their battle, while Platinum jogged towards Mammon and Caitlin.
"Mr. Mammon, you're back."
"Yes, I didn't expect you to run into Raihan."
Mammon replied with a smile. This was indeed unexpected.
"Although Mr. Raihan speaks a bit strangely, he's a very good senior." Platinum blinked.
"Indeed, battling different opponents more often is a very good way to train, and Raihan is quite versatile."
Mammon looked at the Torkoal that Raihan first sent out, and his eyes were a bit strange.
In fact, Raihan had always referred to himself as a Dragon-type Trainer to outsiders, and his nickname was also 'Dragon Storm'.
However, in reality, Raihan was actually more skilled at playing with weather. According to the League Card description,
In pursuit of being able to win in any environment, Raihan developed the skill of battling using weather.
This directly led to Raihan's team having two weather setters; that's right, he played with two types of weather in one team!
It was truly amazing.
"Mm-hmm~ I feel like I've learned a lot. How was your trip, Mr. Mammon?" Platinum nodded deeply. She had indeed learned how to deal with sandstorm weather through her battle with Raihan.
Then Platinum asked Mammon.
"The objective has been achieved, I suppose. We'll play in Motostoke City for another day tomorrow, then we can leave here."
Mammon was not in a hurry; he had plenty of time anyway.
Just as he was about to enjoy the battle between Raihan and Serena, Mammon's phone suddenly rang.
Mammon picked it up and glanced at it. It was an unknown call from his backup number, which he usually used for 'work'.
"Who is this?"
Mammon answered directly.
"Heh heh~ Mr. Mammon, I've long admired your name." A magnetic, mature voice entered his ears.
Mammon raised an eyebrow; he generally knew who it was.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Rose, the President of the Galar League, Rose."
"Mammon, I think we can have a good talk."
