"Lusamine, I've arranged for a Trainer to come over. Send someone to pick him up when he arrives."
"Yes, just have him stay at Aether Paradise."
After making a call to Lusamine, Pryce's arrangements were settled.
As for whether he would help him rescue those two Lapras in the future, that would depend on his mood.
After resolving the Masked Organization's affairs, Mammon and the others returned to the Kanto region.
It was already the end of the year, so Mammon naturally wouldn't go to other regions for fun.
In fact, only Paldea Region was left untouched. Early next year, Mammon planned to visit Paldea.
Actually, the League and Team Rockets had already reached an agreement, so Mammon no longer needed to personally develop the organization.
However, there was one thing in Paldea Region that he had to do himself.
"Ugh~ How annoying. That Kukui insisted I handle some matters personally. So troublesome."
In the backyard of World Tree Castle, Selene pouted, clinging to Mammon and refusing to let go, constantly complaining.
"After all, you're a Champion now. Many things in the Alola League require your involvement, otherwise wouldn't you just be a figurehead?"
Mammon chuckled and ruffled Selene's head.
"The Champion position isn't that simple. You still need to pay attention to it."
"Alright, alright, I know."
Selene rolled her eyes, wrapped her arms around Mammon's neck, and gave her man a fierce kiss on the lips.
"By the way, after I leave, you better behave. How many are there now?" Selene said to Mammon in an annoyed tone.
"Anthea and Concordia in this house should be enough for you to 'create' with."
"What kind of person do you take me for? Don't worry."
"Hmph! You still say that? You know what happened with Akari! How annoying!"
Thinking of Akari, Selene was very displeased. She later learned from Caitlin and the others that Akari was actually Platinum and Mammon's future daughter.
Selene was shocked!
"That was a special case." Mammon was a little embarrassed: "And I have no relationship with Platinum right now."
"You better not!"
Selene pouted, her hand subconsciously touching her belly, still feeling very uncomfortable.
It was truly baffling. She and Mammon never used protection when they were together, so why couldn't she get pregnant?
Come on, belly, fight for it!!
Selene was very confident in herself. Whether it was in terms of strength or affection, she felt that she and Mammon were a match made in heaven.
And she was Mammon's official girlfriend, the kind who had met the parents early on.
But if her belly wasn't cooperative, it would be a bit upsetting.
"By the way, after the New Year, why don't you come with me to Paldea?" Mammon seemed to remember something, pinching Selene's fair little face.
"Paldea?"
"Yes, aren't you envious of Caitlin's Lugia? There are two dragons in Paldea. We can each have one, but..."
Mammon looked at Selene with a smile.
"Those dragons are not like Little Lugia. You need to have the ability to catch them yourself, so you'll have to work harder during this time."
And what Mammon was referring to was the cover legendary of the ninth generation, the Paradise Protection Dragon!
The Paradise Protection Dragons, Koraidon and Miraidon, were also the strongest Paradox Pokémon.
Mammon's target was the one in the hands of AI Sada and AI Turo.
That's right, in fact, from the plot of'Scarlet and Violet,' both Koraidon and Miraidon have two individuals.
The fiercer and more powerful individual two had always been controlled by AI Sada and AI Turo, while the protagonist, Liko, obtained the heavily injured individual one at the beginning of the story, which was injured and driven out of Area Zero by individual two.
As for why the two fought? That's because both Koraidon and Miraidon are very fierce and cruel types.
Therefore, the two fought to contend for territory. The final result was that Koraidon individual one was almost beaten to death by Koraidon individual two, barely escaping Area Zero with all its might.
And what Mammon wanted was the even stronger individual two!
As for how to obtain it from AI Sada and AI Turo, it was actually very simple: just fulfill their wishes, and individual two would naturally be his.
Speaking of which... Mammon's eyes flickered slightly. In this Saffron City battle, Liko did not use Koraidon (Miraidon).
Was it because he hadn't had the final decisive battle with AI Sada and AI Turo to shut down the time machine yet?
Or was it because of a change in the plot, and Liko didn't actually find the heavily injured Koraidon?
"Ah ah ah ah! Really? My dear! I love you!"
Upon hearing Mammon's words, Selene's big eyes sparkled, and she hugged Mammon, overcome with excitement.
She was truly envious of Caitlin's Little Lugia!
"I know, I know, but that Pokémon is very strong and wild. In any case, try to see if you can catch Solgaleo during this time."
Mammon withdrew his thoughts and said to Selene with a smile.
"Okay! I'll try again!"
Selene was full of fighting spirit. After the Saffron City battle, she clearly felt that her strength had improved again!
This time, she would go back and see if she could gain Solgaleo's approval.
"Go."
"Mm-hmm~ Darling, remember to miss me."
Selene waved at Mammon with a giggle, then walked into the spatial golden ring opened by Hoopa.
Taking a plane was still a bit troublesome. Recently, Hoopa had been playing with Mew and the others in World Tree Paradise.
So, having Hoopa come over and throw a golden ring was much more convenient.
Mammon watched Selene's figure disappear, then thought for a moment and took out his phone to find a number.
"Hello? Who is this?"
At Indigo Plateau, Nemona, who was strolling with Liko, answered the phone.
"It's me, Mammon. Nemona, have you returned to Paldea?"
"Eh? Mr. Mammon."
Nemona was very surprised and exchanged glances with Liko beside him.
"Emmm~ We have a flight this afternoon. We originally wanted to play for two more days, but President Geeta is quite busy, so we have to go back early."
Nemona said with some regret.
"Oh? President Geeta is indeed quite dedicated, but you and Liko don't need to rush back so quickly, do you?" Mammon said with a smile.
"If you don't mind, you can come and stay with me for a few days. There are many people your age here, and you can spar more."
"Is that okay?"
Nemona's eyes immediately lit up. In fact, she didn't want to return to Paldea so soon.
Moreover, Nemona was a battle fanatic. Battling! Battling was her favorite thing.
With so many strong individuals in Team Rockets, Nemona was looking forward to it.
Well, the most regrettable thing was that during the Saffron City battle, she and Liko were caught by Peony and the others.
"Of course, it's fine, as long as you have time." Mammon was very considerate.
"Hmm~ Mr. Mammon, do you have something you want? You're very suspicious right now, you know."
Nemona blinked, made a'shush' gesture to Liko, and asked with a smile.
Although she was tempted, Nemona knew that if Mammon suddenly contacted her, who would believe that he had no ulterior motive?
"Ah~ Actually, I'm personally very interested in you, Nemona, and Liko. You know, Team Rockets welcomes any Trainer with potential."
"Oh, oh~ Do you want us to join Team Rockets?" Nemona suddenly realized.
"That would be best, of course, but it's not compulsory. Even if you don't want to join, it's fine. We can still establish a good relationship."
Mammon said with a smile.
"Emmm... We've actually considered it, but we haven't made a decision yet, so can you give us more time to think?"
Nemona was quite conflicted. In fact, she was very interested in Team Rockets, especially with so many powerful Trainers there.
If she joined, she would never have to worry about not having evenly matched battles again.
However, she was already a nominal Champion in Paldea, and she was very conflicted. Liko had similar thoughts.
Especially since Peony was already a member of Team Rockets and had been enthusiastically inviting them both.
"No problem. Team Rockets always welcomes your joining, and you can also visit Team Rockets Castle anytime."
Mammon's tone remained very gentle.
"Liko, what do you think?" Nemona whispered to Liko.
"I want to go see, and I can also find Peony." Liko hesitated before saying.
"Alright! Then let President Geeta go back alone this afternoon. We'll stay a few more days."
Nemona made a decisive decision.
"By the way, Liko, can I ask you something?" Mammon's voice came through the speaker.
"What is it?"
Liko tilted her head in confusion.
"When you first started your journey, did you encounter Koraidon or Miraidon?" Mammon asked him.
"Koraidon, Miraidon? Are those Pokémon?" Liko replied blankly.
"Have you met Professor Sada and Professor Turo?"
"No, but the two professors have contacted me."
Liko shook her head and replied.
"Okay, I understand." Mammon realized.
It seemed that the plot of'Scarlet and Violet' had indeed changed. Liko did not find the heavily injured Koraidon (Miraidon) when he first set out.
But honestly, even if he had found them, with Liko's current strength, he wouldn't be able to defeat AI Sada and AI Turo.
It was precisely because they realized this that the two AI professors did not propose the plan to shut down the time machine to Liko.
Because when the AI professors asked Liko to enter the research lab, that was actually when they would lay their cards on the table with Liko.
"Mr. Mammon, why are you asking about this?" Liko asked curiously.
"I'm quite interested in Professor Sada and Professor Turo. I plan to visit them next year."
"Oh, oh."
"By the way, why don't you two come over now? Rosa and the others haven't left yet, you can get to know them."
Mammon asked the two girls, Nemona.
"Great! We'll go tell President Geeta now."
Nemona was very excited. She was already a little impatient.
Presumably, President Geeta wouldn't refuse either, as the League and Team Rockets were now entering a honeymoon period.
Furthermore, she and Liko were nominal Champions of the Paldea League, with no real power or work.
"Alright, bye-bye."
After hanging up the phone, Mammon pondered for a moment. Since Liko hadn't encountered the injured Koraidon and Miraidon, where did they go?
No, perhaps the time machine in this world didn't even transport individual two of Koraidon and Miraidon here?
Never mind, he would know when he went to Area Zero next year.
In any case, the time machine definitely had to be shut down. That thing uncontrollably transporting Paradox Pokémon to the present era was not a good thing for this era.
Mammon shook his head. Time quickly came to evening. Mammon leaned against the headboard, scrolling on his phone. The internet had been unusually lively these past two days.
Thump Thump
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Mammon thought it was Anthea and Concordia.
After all, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
"Hmm? Rosa?"
But when he saw the Maruko Head girl who walked in, Mammon was stunned.
Rosa was wearing a loose white shirt and black tights.
"Hehe~ I told Sister Anthea and the others to go back first, you know."
Rosa winked at Mammon.
"You..."
"Mammon, you promised you'd reward me~"
"Yes, but you...?"
Mammon looked at Rosa, unable to help but laugh and cry, especially with Rosa's little face now flushed with an unusual redness. Something didn't feel quite right.
"Hehe Mammon, Mammon, be good, quickly let me see!!"
And at this moment, outside the door, hearing Rosa's faint voice.
Hilda, who had come with Rosa, blushed and spat, "This woman, she's really been too repressed!"
