Calyrex looked at the messages in the chat channel, its face contorted in a human-like frown, remaining silent for a long time.
Mammon couldn't help but want to laugh at this, because Calyrex's expression was simply too amusing, truly hard to describe with words.

After a long while, looking at Ye Ao Nai Wo He, who was sent packing after Calyrex stalled his cards, even though he was still raging at the end of the game.
Calyrex felt a subtle shift in his mood.
"Mammon, I do not understand."
Calyrex didn't immediately start the next game, but instead looked at Mammon with confusion.
"Don't be surprised, you did nothing wrong," Mammon replied directly.
"No, I do not believe I made a mistake; I did not violate the rules of the game; stalling his cards was my strategy to achieve victory."
Calyrex shook his head.
"What I do not understand is that he seemed very emotional, and those words… was he cursing me?"
Calyrex recalled 'nmsl' and 'I expound on your dream,' but it didn't understand the meaning of these phrases.
Bro, are you just realizing now that Ye Ao Nai Wo He was cursing you?
Mammon was momentarily stunned, but then realized that Calyrex had been secluded for too long and had no contact with the outside world, so it was normal for him not to understand modern elegant vocabulary.
Caitlin and Platinum had expressions that were hard to describe.
"You can understand it that way," Mammon nodded, confirming Calyrex's guess.
"So that's it, does he think my methods are too despicable?" Calyrex fell into thought again.
"No, that guy is just being foul-mouthed and raging impotently. There's no need to pay him any mind, nor to take him seriously. The diversity of people online is very complex," Mammon chuckled, his eyes a little strange.
Actually, he felt a strange sense of familiarity looking at Ye Ao Nai Wo He's comments.
After all, the only one with a verbal tic including the word 'meow' seemed to be that pink cat.
And Mew is currently holed up in the World Tree every day, either playing games or binging shows, and then eating.
According to Regigigas, Mew hasn't left the house for a month or two, completely turning into a homebody cat.
But Mammon remembered that Mew wasn't that foul-mouthed… was she?
However, that verbal tic and the phrase 'Let my Big Pillar come over and smash you to death'—isn't that how Mew refers to Regigigas?
Hmm, recalling the cute way the pink cat used Charm on him, Mammon's expression grew even stranger.
"I think I understand," Calyrex mused, meaning that one doesn't have to take responsibility for what they say online.
So if he encounters that Ye Ao Nai Wo He again, Calyrex will make him understand what it means for a King not to be insulted!
Calyrex opened the forum, seemingly searching for something.
What do you understand?
Mammon was startled; he always felt that Calyrex's understanding was a bit different from what he intended to convey, but it didn't matter.
"Calyrex, what do you think of this game?"
"The need for reasonable chess piece combinations, luck, and the uncertainty of refreshing chess pieces is quite interesting."
Calyrex gave a fair assessment, finding it quite novel in fact.
"Humans are indeed a very creative race. This game is very interesting, Mammon, can I ask you for a favor?"
Calyrex thought for a moment, then spoke to Mammon.
"Go on."
"The five-cost cards in this game all seem to be Legendary Pokémon."
Calyrex opened the Pokedex in Pokémon Auto Chess and scrolled to the orange cards, which were the five-cost cards.
Ho-Oh, Lugia, Mew, Rayquaza, Kyogre, Groudon, Celebi, Jirachi.
"Could I ask you to contact the creator of this game and add me, Glastrier, and Spectrier?"
Calyrex felt that if he could play with his own chess pieces, it would be very interesting, and he would be very much looking forward to it.
"Of course, I'll add you in the next season," Mammon readily agreed.
After all, Pokémon Auto Chess is still only in its first season, and due to its innovative gameplay, the game is currently very popular.
"If you find it interesting, Calyrex, you can play more often, and occasionally even stream it, sharing some gameplay and team compositions to let more people get to know you."
"That way, once your popularity grows, you'll also gain a lot of faith."
Mammon advised Calyrex, then explained the concept of streaming to him.
This world actually doesn't lack many things, and streaming is one of them. For example, Patia's Gym Leader Iono is also a popular live streamer.
"Is this possible?" Calyrex was puzzled; this was a path he had never considered.
However, this also didn't go against his original intention, as if he could gain faith, his power would also grow stronger.
"Of course, with your intelligence, Calyrex, there's absolutely no problem."
Mammon replied as a matter of course, and if Calyrex really started streaming, his popularity would definitely skyrocket in a short time.
After all, a Pokémon streaming games, and a Legendary Pokémon at that, how could it not be popular?
And besides playing games, Calyrex could also stream some special scenes occasionally.
For example:
'Folks, today I'm streaming Mammon battling the Legendary Eternatus! It's going to be absolutely spectacular! Everyone, hit that follow button so you don't get lost! If we hit 100,000 likes, I'll ride Glastrier myself and throw a Snow Lance at Eternatus!'
"Folks, today I'm going to let Glastrier show you a trick: three bites, one pig! Glastrier, go!"
Damn, this scene is truly impossible to hold back laughter from.
Mammon quickly shook these imagined thoughts from his mind; they were too demonic.
"Is that how it is?" Calyrex looked at a live stream on the phone; he seemed to understand again.
Calyrex continued to play the game, while Mammon shifted his attention back to Serena and Gloria's battle.
Their battle was still very intense.
Although he had been chatting with Calyrex earlier, Mammon had also been keeping an eye on their battle out of the corner of his eye.
Currently on the field were Serena's Blacephalon and Gloria's Dragapult.
Gloria's Dragapult was very strong and had a significant speed advantage.
However, Serena eventually managed to heavily wound Dragapult with Blacephalon, but Blacephalon also lost its ability to battle.
Serena's fifth Pokémon was Galarian Zapdos, which undoubtedly brought great surprise to Gloria.
She really hadn't expected Serena to also have a Legendary Pokémon.
Although Galarian Zapdos had only recently been caught, Galarian Zapdos's own strength was already very high.
Galarian Zapdos defeated Dragapult, forcing Gloria into a desperate situation first.
Her sixth Pokémon was the 'promising' Archaludon, but Galarian Zapdos, with its Fighting type, had an advantage over Archaludon.
Finally, after an intense battle, Galarian Zapdos once again displayed its legendary divine power, defeating Archaludon with its last breath to secure Serena's victory in this practice battle.
"Amazing~!!"
Recalling her fainted Archaludon, Gloria looked at Serena and the panting Galarian Zapdos with endless admiration.
This was her first time losing to someone her age!!
But to be honest, Gloria didn't feel discouraged at all, because she had a really, really satisfying battle!
That feeling of giving it her all was truly exhilarating.
"Serena, you're really strong!"
"Thank you, you're very strong too."
Serena let out a sigh of relief; she hadn't expected this battle to be so difficult.
If it weren't for Galarian Zapdos's incredible display of power, she might not have been a match for Gloria.
Because Gloria's team was actually very strong.
Rillaboom, Corviknight, Grimmsnarl, Grapploct, Dragapult, Archaludon.
This lineup is truly very strong.
Serena was absolutely certain that if she had battled Gloria before joining Team Rockets, she would have 100% lost to Gloria.
And this battle, to be honest, put a lot of pressure on Serena.
"Still not as good as you, but this battle benefited me a lot. Let's battle more often when we have time, Serena."
Gloria smiled sweetly; she wasn't discouraged, but rather felt more motivated.
Great! Next, I'll aim for Serena first, and then challenge Platinum after defeating Serena!
"Okay," Serena naturally nodded. Having another powerful rival to spar and train with was something to be highly desired.
The two girls chatted for a couple more sentences, then walked side by side back to Mammon and the other two.
"I'm sorry, Mammon, I wasn't Serena's match."
Facing Mammon, Gloria felt a little embarrassed.
"No need to apologize, you've already surprised me greatly, Gloria," Mammon replied with a smile.
"With your strength, you are perfectly capable of serving as a high-ranking executive of the organization. From now on, please continue to work hard, for the organization, and for the clean, blue sky."
Mammon took out the pre-prepared silver Team Rockets badge and said gently to Gloria.
"Eh?!" Gloria looked at the Team Rockets badge with great surprise.
She hadn't expected that even though she hadn't passed the 'assessment,' she could still become a high-ranking executive of Team Rockets.
"Take it, you've earned it. I look forward to the day you become a top executive; you have that potential."
Mammon personally placed the silver badge into Gloria's hand.
Hmm, Gloria's small hand was very soft.
"Thank you! Mammon, I will definitely not disappoint you!"
The girl saluted Mammon happily, her voice quite loud.
"I believe you," Mammon chuckled.
"And then, as a high-ranking executive, you can choose one Ultra Beast. Ultra Beasts are all excellent Pokémon in terms of strength. I think if you train it well, it can serve as your main force in battle."
Mammon continued to speak to Gloria, taking out the Ultra Beast Pokedex for introduction.
"Is that really possible?" Gloria's eyes lit up.
She knew about Ultra Beasts, and the Blacephalon Serena had just used was an Ultra Beast.
It is said that Ultra Beasts are Pokémon from other dimensions, and are basically not encountered in the current world; if they are, it is only in the Alola region.
This is a very precious and rare series of Pokémon.
"Of course it's true, see if there's one you like," Mammon nodded.
"Hmm~ I prefer Nihilego, Mammon, is that okay?"
Hesitating for a moment, Gloria's gaze settled on Nihilego.
"Of course, I will provide you with a Elite Four Class-level Nihilego, which will save you a lot of training time."
"Thank you!!"
Gloria was very touched; Mammon was truly so thoughtful!
"You're welcome, but Ultra Beasts' instincts are quite strong, so after you get Nihilego, you must re-catch and subdue it before using it, otherwise it might attack you."
Mammon reminded Gloria.
"Yes! I remember!" Gloria nodded repeatedly, looking very cute.
"Alright, after we leave Crown Tundra, I'll have someone send Nihilego over."
Mammon glanced at Calyrex, finding that the King of Abundance was still playing Pokémon Auto Chess; it seemed he was indeed very interested in it.
"Let's go back to Freezington first."
Mammon threw out Reshiram and Yveltal's Poké Balls.
And seeing these two Legendary Pokémon, Gloria's eyes lit up again.
"Mammon!"
"What's wrong, Gloria?"
"Can I ask you to take a photo with me? This is the most important request of my life!"
Gloria pleaded very earnestly.
"No problem," Mammon's expression was strange; your words sound a bit practiced.
Gloria quickly ran to Mammon's side, with the elegant and beautiful Reshiram as the background.
"Yay~"
Gloria held her phone in one hand, and under Caitlin's increasingly dangerous gaze, leaned her head against Mammon's chest, holding the Team Rockets Senior Executive badge in her other hand.
And Mammon also cooperated by showing a sunny smile.
The handsome young man and the sweet girl complemented each other, and the True Dragon God behind them was even more magnificent and beautiful.
Click~
The scene froze. Gloria happily looked at the photo and decisively set it as her phone wallpaper.
At the same time, she logged into her personal social account, uploaded the group photo, and added a caption.
'Ta-da! Today is a very lucky day! I met my idol, Mammon, and I successfully joined Team Rockets! From now on, please call me Miss Team Rockets Senior Executive! Hehe Mammon is really super handsome and gentle! I'm in a really beautiful mood~'
Gloria clicked send without hesitation, then rode the beautiful Reshiram towards Freezington. This is great!
And when she arrived at Freezington, Gloria found that her post had gone viral.
Hop: Ah ah ah ah!! Is that really Mammon? Gloria, where are you? I'm coming right away! Flail.jpg
Marnie: He's indeed very handsome. Is the one behind him the legendary Reshiram?
Nessa: When are you coming to Water Stone Town? Let's spar again?
Leon: Gloria, why did you join Team Rockets??? Shocked.jpg
