Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 123 Sakaki: I will personally take down Mammon!
Back at Cattleya's villa.

"Higana, come to the villa."

Mammon thought for a moment, then made a call to Higana, since the Hoenn League had sent people to fight him.

Mammon naturally had no reason to back down, and this was a good opportunity to deal with Higana's matter.

After all, a war needs a trigger, doesn't it?
The next day came in a blink of an eye.

Saiyu City Airport.

Sakaki, dressed in a black designer suit, slowly walked out of the airport.

"Hello, Mr. Sakaki." A young man in a suit greeted him.

"Hello."

"Champion Mikel asked me to wait for you here. Please follow me."

Sakaki got into the car and arrived at the Hoenn League building.

A subtle smile curved at the corner of Sakaki's lips. He never imagined that one day he would come to the Alliance Building in another region, and as an honored guest at that.

The staff led Sakaki upstairs, and they soon arrived at the conference room.

The staff knocked twice on the door, then opened it and bowed to signal Sakaki to come in.

Sakaki stepped into the conference room and quickly glanced around. Goodness, the conference room was already packed with people.

The Hoenn champions Daigo and Michael, the Hoenn Elite Four, and Officer Jenny are all included.

However, Giovanni's gaze was focused on two women. The one wearing a black women's trench coat and with beautiful long golden hair was none other than Cynthia, the Sinnoh champion.

The other girl, who looked very young, had long black hair tied in a ponytail, a strand of dyed green bangs hanging down, and wheat-colored skin. She looked cheerful and lively.

This is Nemo, a student from Orange Academy who broke through the Padia League last year.

Sakaki was looking at the people present, but the people present were also looking at Sakaki.

Nemo's gaze was filled with curiosity, while Daigo and Ran's eyes held a slightly complicated expression. This was Mammon's father.

Michael, on the other hand, was subtly scrutinizing the man. Whether it was psychological or not, he felt that the middle-aged man, who exuded the air of a successful person, had a somewhat sinister expression.

He doesn't look like a good person at all!

"Sorry, it seems I'm late."

Sakaki apologized in his deep, magnetic voice.

"No, there are still ten minutes until the appointed time. Please have a seat, Master Sakaki." Daigo smiled and gestured for him to sit down.

He was the one sitting in the main seat, and it's worth mentioning that he and Mikkelsen held a handover ceremony last night.

Yes, Mikkuri has returned the Hoenn Champion title to him.

There was no Elite Four challenge, because it was completely unnecessary. Didn't the Hoenn League already know how strong Steven was? They just needed to go through the motions.

The announcement released by the Hoenn League this morning regarding the handover of the championship has also sparked considerable discussion.

However, apart from Mikkuri's loyal fans, basically no one had any objections, although the Hoenn League wouldn't care about these public objections anyway.

Sakaki smiled amicably at everyone and sat down.

"Since Master Sakaki has arrived, let's get straight to the point."

Daigo looked around, but his gaze was mainly fixed on the three people, Giovanni and Giovanni, who had come to help.

"First of all, I would like to thank Champion Zhulan, Gym Leader Sakaki, and Ms. Nemo for coming to help. Thank you very much."

Daigo said gratefully, regardless of what Chikuran and the other two were thinking, they deserved our thanks for coming to help in person.

“Champion Daigo, you’re too kind. We’re all members of the league, so it’s only right that we help each other, especially when we’re fighting against an evil organization.”

Zhu Lan shook her head, her tone calm and rational.

"Champion Cynthia is right, the evil Team Rocket deserves to be destroyed! And... I have an unshirkable responsibility, and I should apologize to everyone."

Sakaki's voice was very low, filled with self-reproach.

“I am to blame for the great trouble that my unfilial son Mammon has caused everyone.”

Sakaki stood up and bowed slightly to Daigo and the others.

“Gym Leader Sakaki, there’s no need for that.” Daigo quickly stood up; Sakaki was much older than him.

"How can you be blamed for what Mammon did? You don't need to blame yourself."

“Champion Daigo is right, Gym Leader Giovanni. You didn’t want this to happen either, so you don’t need to blame yourself.” Cynthia nodded in agreement.

"Sigh... This time I will definitely defeat Mammon. If he remains obstinate, I will personally send him to prison."

Sakaki took a deep breath, his tone heavy.

“I have never wronged anyone in my life, nor have I ever done anything wrong. I never thought I would become such a failed father.”

Upon hearing this, Daigo and the others fell silent. Well, they simply couldn't empathize, since they didn't have children of their own.

However, seeing Sakaki's disappointed and pained expression, they were also feeling rather depressed.

As Giovanni himself said, he had no stain on his life and had always been a conscientious and responsible gym leader, but Mammon joining Team Rocket was an indelible shadow on him.

Most importantly, Mammon is so powerful.

Mikuri seemed to be thinking. It seemed that he had misunderstood Sakaki. Sure enough, was it because he was wearing tinted glasses?
"If we can defeat Mammon, I think we can persuade him to return to the right path," Daigo said, offering a word of comfort.

Sakaki nodded gravely and sat down again.

"The reason I invited the three of you here is already known to you: it's to deal with the evil organization Team Rocket!"

Daigo said in a deep voice, and a composite image appeared on the big screen, which showed the senior officers of Team Rocket that they currently knew.

Nemo watched all this with great interest. There were no evil organizations in their Padia, so Nemo was very interested in this 'legendary' evil organization.

In particular, it was an evil organization that forced the Hoenn League to seek help from other regions.

So Nemo listened very attentively as Steven introduced Team Hoenn.

"Daigo, Champion, I'd like to know, have you found out the exact location of Team Rocket's base yet?"

After Daigo finished speaking, Chikuran asked.

"It's not confirmed yet, but we've made some progress."

Daigo shook his head.

“We believe that Mammon and the others are likely staying in Lilycove City for the time being. According to the information gathered by Officer Jenny, Mammon, Cattleya, Sigana and others have all appeared in Lilycove City and have been spotted by people several times.”

Daigo said solemnly, "And that day, he and Michael met Mammon in Lilycove City."

Zhu Lan's beautiful brows furrowed slightly. This was exactly the situation she feared, as they had not yet found out the exact location of Mammon and the others.

However, unlike the Alola Wars, the Hoenn League was prepared for war.

The Hoenn League is prepared to act if Team Rocket is spotted, even in a city.

No matter what, the Rockets must be driven out of Hoenn!
……

Kanaz, a city that strives for the integration of nature and science.

It is also a city that controls many Hoenn industries, with the Devon Company at its center.

It's worth mentioning that Meteor Falls is located just north of Kanaz City.

Mammon and his two companions arrived in Kanaz City at that moment.

"We're so close to home now, Higana, aren't you going back to visit? We can wait for you."

Mammon smiled and said to Higana.

“My duty is not yet complete, I cannot go back.” Higana shook her head.

"Mammon, now that Team Magma and Team Aqua have been absorbed by us, and you've also captured Kyogre, what do you suggest I do?"

Higana glanced at Mammon; her initial plans had been completely disrupted. "Why don't you just make a wish?"

"Wishes are not guaranteed to succeed. I don't have any Rainbow Meteorites, and Kyogre and Groudon aren't at war, so the success rate of wishes is even lower."

Higana said irritably.

Otherwise, why would she have joined Team Magma in the first place? It was to guide the two organizations to awaken Groudon and Kyogre in their battle, thus increasing the success rate of summoning Rayquaza.

"Don't worry, Rayquaza will have his chance." Mammon smiled.

However, the time is not yet right.

Higana rolled her eyes. Mammon, that guy, made it sound so easy.

The three arrived at the headquarters of Devon Corporation.

"Hello, who are you all?"

As soon as they entered the company, the receptionist greeted them with a professional smile and asked them questions.

“Hello, we’re looking for President Zvoich. Could you please help us get in touch with him?” Mammon replied with a smile.

"Are you looking for the CEO? Do you have an appointment?"

The receptionist asked again.

As the president of Devon Corporation, Zvoich Mujin is one of the richest people in the world, so meeting him is certainly not an easy task.

"No, but you can contact him and say that an old friend from the Burial Tower in the capital is looking for him and wants to talk about something."

"please wait."

The receptionist hesitated for a moment, but after looking at the three men's distinct yet extraordinary demeanors, she still chose to make the call.

In a company like Devon, excellent eyesight is an essential foundation.

Rather than being held accountable afterward, the receptionist preferred to trust her own judgment.

Before the call was even finished and only a few words were exchanged, the receptionist looked at Mammon and his two companions.

"The president is waiting for the three of you in his office."

"Thank you."

Mammon smiled politely again and, led by a staff member, took the elevator to the top floor.

Upon arriving at Zvoich Hibiscus's office, Mammon looked around and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"In just a few years, you've transformed a small iron ore mining and steel refining company into a behemoth that rivals Silver Corporation. President Zvoich, you are truly an extraordinary businessman."

Mammon looked at the middle-aged man with silver-gray hair, who was sitting in an office chair wearing a purple suit, and exclaimed in admiration.

It must be said that the history of the Zvoich hibiscus is truly legendary.

If it weren't for the fact that Pokémon is the mainstream, Hibiscus Zivchi's life could definitely be a legend.

Although it's actually pretty much the same now, how many businessmen idolize the Zvonić hibiscus? Countless, simply countless.

"You flatter me, young men. What are you?"

Zifuqi Mujin's voice was somewhat low, and her shrewd and sharp eyes were fixed on the three of them.

"We? President Zvoich, everyone has to pay the price for their actions. You haven't forgotten what happened back then, have you? The girl who sat on Rekkuri."

Mammon tilted his head slightly, his expression gradually becoming filled with malice.

Higana stared at Zivqi Hibiscus with extremely cold eyes, and her face was also very ugly.

"you……"

Zifuqi Mujin frowned, her expression constantly changing as she listened to his words, showing guilt, shame, and shock.

This person actually knew?!

"That girl from back then..."

"Ah~ Shiogana is Shiogana's older sister, President Zivchi."

"..."

Zivqi Mujin tensed up instantly, staring at Xijiana with her icy and dangerous aura, but soon, Zivqi Mujin's body went limp again, leaning back in the chair, as if all the strength had been drained from her body in an instant.

"I have never forgotten that the thing I regret most in my life is that I participated in this incident."

Zifuqi Mujin's weary and weak voice slowly rang out.

"When the Pokémon Association invited me to provide technical support for the 'Rayquaza Capture Project,' I took an implementation team to the Buried Tower."

"But after the operation began, I found out that there was a girl on Liekong's back, but by then it was too late to stop... I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

Zivchi Hibiscus apologized to Higana.

"Ha~ Is an apology enough?" Higana sneered, staring at Zivqi Hibiscus with disgust.

"You selfish people have no idea why my sister went to find Rayquaza, or what she was carrying!" Higana's tone grew increasingly angry.

The Meteor People went to find Rayquaza for the sake of the entire Hoenn, but Shiokana died at the hands of the people she wanted to protect.

This is... such a sad thing.

Zifuqi Mujin gave a bitter smile.

"Now that things have come to this, whatever you want to do to me, I'm willing to accept it."

Zifuqi Mujin sighed. He understood that it was his fault; he was the one who caused the girl in front of him to lose her sister forever.

The only sound in the entire office was Higanbana's increasingly heavy breathing.

Bloodshot veins appeared in her eyes, and her knuckles clenched so tightly they made a 'crunching' sound.

She really wanted to take out Salamence's Poké Ball, but Sidana forced herself to calm down.

"I won't let you die so easily, Zivqi Mujin," Xijiana said coldly. It was precisely because of Zivqi Mujin's frank and atoning attitude that she was even less willing to kill him.

How could it be that easy?

"..." Zifuqi Mujin looked at Xijiana and sighed deeply.
"So, Mr. Zvoich, could you please make a phone call to your son, Daigo?"

Seeing that Higana remained silent, Mammon smiled and spoke to Zivchi Hibiscus.

“This matter has nothing to do with Daigo,” Zifuqi said in a low voice. Daigo was his proudest son, and he really didn’t want Daigo to be involved in this matter.

He caused the death of an innocent girl because of his selfishness. If Daigo knew about this, he would be very disappointed in him.

Zivchi Mujin did not want this to happen, although he knew that the decision was not his.

"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with this." Mammon shrugged.

"..." Zifuqi Mujin remained silent, took out her phone and dialed Daigo's number.

The call was answered after only a few rings.

"Father, what's wrong?" Daigo's puzzled voice came.

"Hello, hello~ Daigo-sensei, are you surprised?"

Mammon took Zvoich's phone and greeted Daigo with a smile.

"Mammon!!"

Daigo was utterly shocked, his voice rising in volume, a mixture of shock and anger.

Daigo could not help but be shocked and angry, because this number belonged to his father!

"Mammon! How did you get my father's phone number?"

"you guess?"

Mammon grinned, and the intense malice in his voice made Daigo hold his breath for a moment.
