Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 137 Zhu Lan, I promise, I will never lay a hand on you!

"Cattleya, take Lillie to a safe place."

Mammon gestured for Gadriya to take Lillie to a safe location to wait.

"Hey? Mr. Mammon, aren't you coming with us?"

Lillie was somewhat worried upon hearing this. After hearing about Rayquaza's entanglement with Deoxys, although Lillie felt sorry for Deoxys,

But Rayquaza is indeed powerful, so it's best if they don't get involved.

"I'm going to help Deoxys. Rayquaza is doing the wrong thing."

"But……"

"No buts, Lillie. This is exactly the kind of help we need to make the relationship between humans and Pokémon more harmonious."

Mammon smiled and replied to Lillie.

"And please believe me, I'm very strong."

"..."

Lillie pursed her lips, even though she knew that Mr. Mammon was a very strong Champion-level Trainer.

But is it really okay for these legendary battles to be unrelated?

"In that case, Mr. Mammon, please take Little Nebula with you. Little Nebula is very strong and will definitely be able to help you."

Lillie didn't try to persuade him further. She took out Nebula's Poké Ball and handed it to Mammon.

"Thank you, Lillie."

"It's alright, but please, Mr. Mammon, you must come back safely, can you promise me?"

"Don't worry, it will definitely happen."

The girl's sincere feelings were so intense that Mammon made a promise to her.

“Yes!” Lillie nodded emphatically.

Cattleya led Lillie away, intending to watch the game from a safer location. She trusted Mammon, of course; Mammon never did anything unprepared.

"That way it's foolproof."

Mammon twirled the Lunala Poké Ball in his hand. With Mewtwo and Lunala around, defeating this Rayquaza wouldn't be a problem.

But Mammon was never worried about Rayquaza, which couldn't even Mega Evolve.

To be honest, Mammon really didn't believe that Rayquaza, the legendary Meteor Dweller, could be so terrible.

The Rayquaza family has a very high potential; for example, the Shiny Mega Rayquaza in the Hoopa movie can maneuver among six top legendary Pokémon.

There's also Mega Rayquaza from the XY Rock Saga, whose single, devastating attack can force Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre out of their Primal Revert forms.

Although this was a sudden intervention after Groudon and Kyogre's fierce battle, the fact that it knocked both of them down in one blow was enough to prove the power of this Mega Rayquaza.

Unlike this Rayquaza, which struggles so much against a Deoxys and only manages a 50/50 fight, it shouldn't be this exaggerated even without Mega Evolution.

There are official video examples of Rayquaza battling Deoxys. In Pokémon Generations, Yu rode Mega Rayquaza into space and shattered the meteorite prophesied by the Meteor Dwellers, where he encountered Deoxys hidden inside the meteorite.

This Deoxys is very strong and can freely change its form, so what?

It was crushed by the Mega Rayquaza without Xiaoyou's command!
It was completely overwhelmed by Mega Rayquaza throughout, and its final attack, Dragon's Eye, pierced and shattered Deoxys in its defensive form. The two were simply not in the same league.

"I wonder if other Rayquazas will sit down and intervene if we can't win."

Mammon narrowed his eyes slightly, watching Rayquaza and Deoxys locked in fierce combat.

In fact, Mammon was very confident that as long as he could command Deoxys II, defeating this wild Rayquaza would not be a problem.

After all, Rayquaza's attack strategy is really simple: mindlessly get close and unleash Dragon Pulse, relying purely on its own stats to brute force its way in.

But it has to be said that Rayquaza's stats are really outstanding.

Deoxys hit Rayquaza three times, but Rayquaza was completely unaffected. It would roar and fly back up to continue attacking, showing no signs of injury whatsoever.

Deoxys was hit by Rayquaza once, no, even just grazed by Dragon Pulse, and it would either die or be seriously injured.

That's the charm of numerical monsters!

So it's not that this Rayquaza is weak; rather, it's that this Rayquaza is only good at reckless attacks and nothing else.

Defeating this brute Rayquaza isn't difficult, but the problem is whether defeating it will attract other, stronger Rayquazas.

Just as Mammon was pondering this, a Garchomp flew low and quickly approached him.

"Mammon!"

Cynthia and Nemo dismounted from Garchomp's back.

"Bamboo Orchid Champion, Miss Nemo, what brings you here?"

Mammon feigned surprise.

"Mammon, is that Pokémon that battled Rayquaza related to you?"

Zhu Lan got straight to the point, staring intently at Mammon's facial expression.

"Tsk~ So they've come to interrogate me."

Mammon marveled.

"You never think of me when things go well, but the moment something like this happens, you're the first to come and blame me. Zhu Lan Champion, you really are..."

Mammon mocked without any restraint.

Nemo was so embarrassed she wanted to dig her toes into the ground, since Mammon's words were undoubtedly an explanation that she had nothing to do with that Pokémon.

Even though the other party was a member of an evil organization, Nemo still felt extremely embarrassed to have such slander thrown at them.

Hmm, this girl is still too naive.

“If I’ve misunderstood you, I apologize, but Mammon, you…”

"I don't care about your apology, Bamboo Orchid Champion. You're still as arrogant as ever."

Mammon interrupted Zhu Lan, for he naturally had no doubt about Zhu Lan's character.

Zhu Lan frowned.

"And why should I explain to you? Bamboo Orchid Champion, you think too highly of yourself. Are we that close?"

Mammon scoffed again, effectively ending the match. "When you ask for something, you should ask for it. Are you sure you're not here to ask me for information?"

"So, you really did know about Rayquaza and that Pokémon?"

Zhu Lan's expression turned solemn. As expected, Mammon did indeed know the inside story.

"Ah, indeed. And then?"

“Mammon, please tell us what you know, otherwise if they continue fighting like this, the whole city will be destroyed.”

Zhu Lan took a deep breath and made a sincere request to Mammon.

To stop the battle between those two Pokémon, you first need to understand what happened.

Otherwise, if you try to stop it without fully understanding what's going on, it might only make things worse.

Moreover, Rayquaza and Deoxys are too powerful; it would be difficult to stop them by force.

"What does this have to do with me?" Mammon grinned, completely unconcerned.

"You...!" Nemo wanted to reprimand him, but remembering the other person's identity, she shut up.

The other team is the Rockets, and you're accusing them of having no conscience or morals? That's a bit ridiculous.

"What do you want?" Zhu Lan asked calmly.

"Let me think about it." Mammon rested his chin on his hand, his unabashed gaze scrutinizing Zhu Lan from head to toe.

The blatant, undisguised gaze made Zhu Lan instinctively tense up. She forced herself to suppress her discomfort and the instinct that made her hair stand on end.

This guy……

Zhu Lan even felt that Mammon had almost 'eaten' her!

"Tsk~ Looks like you're not ready yet, then so be it."

Mammon tilted his head. In any case, even if he told them about the conflict between Rayquaza and Deoxys, there was nothing they could do.

"How about we take some couple photos together after this is all over?"

Mammon laughed maliciously. After filming, he posted it on the Sinnoh League forum. He couldn't even imagine how the trainers on the Sinnoh side would react.

It's probably that feeling of 'the sky is falling'?
"Couple photos..."

Zhu Lan looked troubled.

She's been single since birth and hasn't even thought about dating, so suddenly they want her to take couple photos or something...

"Senior, this guy has ulterior motives!"

Nemo felt she had to say something, otherwise she felt like she was completely wooden.

Neither of them noticed her at all!
"..." Zhu Lan fell silent. Did Nemo really need to remind her?
Before, Mammon looked at her like a big bad wolf looking at a little white rabbit, his lust for her body was written all over his face!
"Just taking photos?"

"of course."

"Can you guarantee you absolutely won't..."

You would never lay a hand on me or take advantage of me.

Zhu Lan's reserve still made her embarrassed to say such things, but her meaning was clearly very obvious.

"Of course, please trust my character. As the champion of Bamboo Orchid, I am a very gentlemanly person."

Faced with Mammon's inexplicably confident remarks, Zhu Lan could only remain silent.

What else could she say?
"You're so shameless." Nemo couldn't help but exclaim. Threatening the Bamboo Orchid Champion into submission like this, and you call that gentlemanly?

"Heh~ I'm a member of Team Rocket, which you call the naturally evil team." Mammon chuckled.

"As agreed, you should tell us what information you know."

"If there are no problems, then please begin."

Mammon looked up at Rayquaza and Deoxys, who were fighting in the air.

Rayquaza is a Pokémon that inhabits the ozone layer. They consider the entire sky their territory and drive away all creatures from outer space.

Mammon explained slowly.

"And Deoxys, the Pokémon that is currently battling Rayquaza, is a Pokémon from outer space, so you understand now?"

"Rayquaza wants to destroy Deoxys?"

Mammon had made himself clear enough, and Zhulan and Nemo naturally understood what he meant.

“That’s right. Rayquaza cannot tolerate a ‘space stowaway’ like Deoxys in its territory, so it will keep hunting him down until he dies.”

In other words, Rayquaza didn't know the secret of Deoxys' core, otherwise Rayquaza wouldn't have left directly four years ago.

It will definitely try to turn Deoxys's core crystal to ashes before leaving, otherwise, would it wait for Deoxys to resurrect and come after it again? Rayquaza isn't that idle.

"This……"

After confirming this, Nemo looked at Zhulan with some confusion.

What do they do?
Rayquaza helped Deoxys defeat Deoxys, but what did Deoxys do wrong?
But help Deoxys defeat Rayquaza? If they had that ability, would they need to ask Mammon about the cause and effect?
Lan was also speechless. She looked at her phone and Daigo said that they would need some more time to get to Larousse City.

Zhu Lan took a deep breath. No matter what, she had to give it a try!
Even if we are no match for them, we must find a way to stop these two Pokémon from fighting and protect this innocent city!
"How are you two confused girls? It seems you need some help?"

Mammon's smiling voice reached their ears at just the right moment.

"Do you have a way to stop Rayquaza and Deoxys?"

"Of course, I can help you defeat this Rayquaza."

Mammon emphasized 'this Rayquaza', well, just this one point, not 'after-sales service'.

If a stronger Rayquaza that can Mega Evolve does emerge, then it has nothing to do with him.

Anyway, Mammon felt that continuing like this was pointless. It would just mean that this Deoxys with a 2 IV would be knocked into a Core Crystal state and put into a dormant state by Rayquaza again, since this Rayquaza's 'stats' were just too outrageous.

But this didn't fit Mammon's plan; he was still more interested in the Deoxys II body.

As for the arrival of an even stronger Rayquaza to cause trouble, Mammon also felt that this was a good opportunity.

The fathead fish has been sleeping for so long, it's time to let it recall Rayquaza's beating. This is a good opportunity to win over the fathead fish.

P.S.: This chapter is a make-up update; there's still one chapter to go.
