Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 104 Lord Mammon, something terrible has happened! Mikkelsen has attacked!
In Fuyan Town, inside a villa that has been rented out.

"So, what are your thoughts at the first meeting of our Team Rocket Hoenn region division?"

That evening, Mammon looked at the group of people in front of him and asked them a question.

Actually, there weren't many people. He brought Gadria and Gladio over, and the only newcomers were Sigana and Fire Goose.

Fire Goose felt out of place here, even though her body was on Team Rocket but her heart was on Team Magma!

Although... although she developed a strong interest in Team Rocket after hearing Mammon and Higanbana's conversation that afternoon.

To be honest, compared to the Rockets, the Lava Team seems a bit too small-scale...

I subconsciously felt that the Lava Team had a small-minded perspective.

But at least she still has feelings for Team Magma. So why did Lord Mammon want her to attend this first Hoenn branch meeting...?

She still loves Team Lava!

“Lord Mammon, I’ve compiled a list of our current manpower,” Gladio was the first to speak.

"We brought about a hundred people from Kanto, and they have all arrived. We also gathered thirty-three more at Team Magma's base."

Gladio spoke earnestly.

"We're a bit short-handed," Mammon clicked his tongue.

"That's right. We still don't have enough manpower. Moreover, the people recruited by the Lava Team are generally not very disciplined or skilled. Only a few elites are usable."

Gladio glanced at Fire Goose, a look that made the expressionless Fire Goose involuntarily dig its toes into the ground.

That look you're giving me, like you're saying, "How did you manage to raise a subordinate like this?" is incredibly rude!
"It's okay, this can be trained gradually."

Mammon wasn't in a hurry about this.

"Then, if we start a company... Lord Mammon, although we can copy many of the projects from Alola, the environment in Hoenn is very different from that in Alola."

Gladio shared his thoughts.

In the Alora region, the Rockets' biggest source of revenue is the arcade in the entertainment complex.

Start a company?

Xijiana, who had been listening with great interest, and Huoyan, who had been silent all along, were taken aback upon hearing this.

No, the Rockets are going to start a company?
“There’s already a game city in Violet City.” Gadria roughly understood what Gladion meant.

“It’s simple, just acquire it.” Mammon didn’t seem to care.

"But I guess the arcade owner won't sell; that arcade is doing pretty well."

Gladgio frowned. He had looked at the information about Violet Game City, although Violet Game City's business was not as booming as Alola Game City.

However, the rewards are still quite considerable, as the prizes at Violet Game City include TMs and valuable Pokémon plush toys.

Therefore, it is quite popular.

"Gargio, you need to broaden your thinking." Mammon felt that this young man was still too upright.

"If you want to acquire someone else's property, if you can't do it openly, you can do it covertly. If you can't buy it even with a premium, then you can resort to coercion and bribery for those who are shameless."

Mammon spoke earnestly.

"We're Team Rocket, after all. Is it something we should be doing to compete fairly with others? Other evil organizations would laugh at us if they knew."

"What do you mean, Lord Namamon?"

Gladio seemed to understand, but not quite.

"Let's find someone to cause trouble at his game store and ruin his reputation first, then we'll buy it. Of course, we have to be careful and not let anyone catch us red-handed, otherwise it won't do us any good if that person notifies the Hoenn Alliance."

“I understand.” Gladio said thoughtfully, knowing what to do.

"You don't need to handle this personally, understand?"

"My subordinates know."

"Mauville City is the largest city in the Hoenn region. We need to have a firm foothold in Mauville City, so Penguin Casino definitely has to be established here."

"Then we can't let go of Water Lily City and Kaina City. These two big cities have great potential. It won't hurt to buy more land and develop industries like cycling shops."

Mammon gave the order, and Gladio nodded and noted it down.

Xijiana and Huoyan were stunned. This...

This is quite different from the meeting they had imagined.

"We can leave the specific operations of the company to our subordinates. What's more important now is to increase our manpower."

"The main objective now is to strike at Team Magma and Team Aqua, and absorb their people."

Mammon spoke.

Team Hoenn Rocket is indeed too small right now, but that's okay, they can rise up on the 'corpses' of Team Magma and Team Aqua!
Didn't the Alora Rockets make a fortune by absorbing the Skull Team before?

However, compared to Team Skull, Team Lava and Team Ocean are indeed more troublesome, mainly because we don't know where their real base is.

Mammon remembers a large base on a small island northeast of Lilycove City, but he doesn't know if it belongs to Team Magma or Team Aqua. (The ownership of this base varies depending on the version.)

It's not a big problem; anyway, all the people in those two organizations will be killed.

"Fire Goose, Higanbana, do you know where Team Magma and Team Aqua's bases are? Fire Goose, just tell me the Team Aqua bases you know."

Mammon looked at Higana and Fire Goose. Considering Fire Goose's situation, Mammon did not force her to ask about Team Lava's base.

As one of the Lava Team's executives, Fire Goose must know the location of the Lava Team's base very well, but betraying the Lava Team now would put a lot of psychological pressure on her.

Mammon didn't think Firegoose would always be devoted to Team Magma. Any normal person would know the difference between Team Magma and Team Rocket, and would know which team had a better future.

So he didn't mind giving Huoyan a chance. If she really was hopeless and stubborn, then Mammon wouldn't be polite either.

"The core base of Team Ocean... I'm not really sure about it, but I do know the locations of a few smaller ones."

Huo Yan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling very grateful to Mammon, and then quickly spoke up.

What she feared most was that Mammon would force her to reveal Team Lava's core base, and she really wouldn't know what to do then.

"As a newbie who just joined Team Lava, of course I don't know."

Higana was much more straightforward; she hadn't been with Team Lava for very long, so of course she couldn't access the core members. "Alright, Fire Goose, mark the locations later." Mammon wasn't disappointed.

After a brief discussion of the details, the first meeting came to an end.

the next day.

Gladion and Fire Goose relocated their subordinates from their original Lava Team base, while Higanbana slept in, and Mammon and Gadria toured Blaze Town.

Because of the natural hot springs in Kamayang, the town has a predominantly elderly population, in addition to tourists.

"Oh? It's you guys!"

Not long after we started walking around, as we passed a training ground, a clear, cheerful girl's voice rang out in surprise.

"We meet again, Xiaoyao."

Mammon turned around and saw a slender and energetic girl standing in the training field looking at them.

"Hehe~ It seems we're quite destined to meet."

Xiaoyao jogged over, her fair and innocent face beaming with a lively and infectious smile.

Cattleya's delicate eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly. She had finally managed to have some alone time to go shopping with Mammon, and now this unfamiliar woman had suddenly become so familiar with her.

Although she was displeased, as a reserved and elegant young lady, Cattleya still gave her a polite and appropriate smile.

"Handsome, I handed over that Aqua Team officer to Miss Officer Jenny yesterday, and she was very happy."

Xiaoyao quickly said that she had successfully completed the task, and she also remembered how happy Officer Jenny was at the time.

After all, Drop is a member of the Water Fleet's leadership, and the 'value' of a member is quite different from that of an ordinary member.

"Miss Officer Jenny wants to thank you properly. She even said she was going to give you a banner. It seems she knows you too."

"Miss Officer Jenny is too kind. Please don't bother with any banners or anything like that."

Mammon immediately realized that it must be Miss Officer Jenny who had spoken with them back then.

And isn't the use of banners and such a thing a bit excessive?

Mammon stroked his chin, wondering what kind of expression Officer Jenny would have if his identity as a member of Team Rocket in Hoenn were revealed in the future.
"After all, it is everyone's responsibility to fight against evil organizations. I am the kind of person who cannot tolerate other evil organizations in my area."

Mammon smiled and said.

"Ha~ That's right, those evil organizations are really wicked! I've only been traveling for a short time and I've already run into those villains from Team Lava. They even stole this old man's gull! It's so shameless!"

Xiaoyao wholeheartedly agreed, clenching her little fists and speaking with righteous indignation.

How could someone be so wicked? Old Man Hachi is so old, yet he still stole his Pokémon.

"Indeed, evil organizations like Team Magma and Team Ocean are really rotten, they have no sense of decency whatsoever."

Mammon strongly agrees with this, so the Hoenn region only needs Team Rocket.

"emmm..."

Xiaoyao tilted her head slightly, cutely tapping her chin, as if this handsome guy shared the same thoughts as her.

But something just feels off. Oh well, I'm not going to think about it anymore.

Using your brain is such a hassle, it's much better to fight!
"Xiaoyao, are you a trainer who just started this year?"

Mammon glanced at Swampert and Aggron behind Haruka.

Speaking of May, she looks pure and cute, but the Pokémon she uses are all very powerful.

"Oh right, I'm a newbie, but my goal this year is to win the Hoenn Tournament. If I can win, I'll challenge the Hoenn Elite Four!"

Xiaoyao flashed a big smile, clenching her little fists with great enthusiasm and drive.

That's right, her goal is not just to win a regional league; she wants to become the Hoenn Elite Four champion!
She's going to kill Mikuri and take her place! From now on, the land of Hoenn will be ruled by her, Senriyo!

"Great idea, I wish you success."

Mammon smiled and clapped to encourage him.

To be honest, this isn't a game after all. May's talent is absolutely monstrous, but can she defeat Steven after only one year of growth? Mammon really thinks it's an unknown, since Steven's strength is quite good among champions.

But defeating Mikoto... Mammon thinks that with Haruka's growth rate, it shouldn't be a problem.

After all, those who know, know. Although Mikkelsen is also a champion-level trainer, his strength is actually relatively weak among the many champion trainers.

Furthermore, Wallace excels at Water-type attacks, and most of his regular battles take place in proper arenas.

Among Mikoli's main water-attribute teams, some are quite dependent on the battlefield.

For example, Wailord...

On a proper playing field, the whale king's 20-meter-long body lies on the ground, making it difficult to move. Isn't that a sitting duck?
If the battle were fought on a specific watery terrain or at sea, Mikoli would definitely be able to unleash the team's full potential, but there are no "ifs".

The championship challenge is a normal battleground. Whether Mikuri can withstand May's impact by the end of this year is a question that Mammon thinks is a bit hard to answer.

Didi didi~
Suddenly, Mammon's phone rang.

Mammon nodded apologetically to Xiaoyao, then turned and walked a few steps away to answer the phone.

"What's wrong, Fire Goose?"

"It's terrible, Lord Mammon! Champion Mikkuri has led his men to attack! Lord Gladio has already led his men to meet them, and no one is answering Sigana's phone."

Huo Yan's delicate voice inevitably carried a hint of panic.

After all, Wallace is the champion of the Hoenn region's Elite Four!

"Don't panic, I'm coming right away."

Mammon raised an eyebrow and said that Mikoli Mikoli was about to arrive.

Not bad, not bad, you're really lucky.

Mammon hung up the phone, thinking of Michael's delicate and handsome appearance, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

"Gardelia, go to the clothing store and buy some pretty dresses, and while you're at it, also buy some JK uniforms, Lolita dresses, school swimsuits, black and white stockings, fishnet stockings, and the like. I have a use for them."

“??” Gadriya asked, casting a series of question marks.
