Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 149 Cynthia, can you join Team Rocket?

"Very good, thank you for your hard work, champion of Bamboo Orchid".

Two hours later, the shooting finally ended. Mammon took the camera from Kapoor.Fizz, quickly reviewed the film, and nodded in satisfaction.

Zhu Lan straightened her slightly disheveled clothes.

"Then I've done what I promised you, and we're even."

Zhu Lan spoke calmly.

What to say?

This photo shoot is something she'll probably never forget for a long time.

“Of course, I’m a man who keeps his promises.” Mammon grinned.

“These photos…” Zhu Lan hesitated for a moment, then decided to ask Mammon what he would do with them.

"Speaking of which, you can search for a user named 'Photographer Mammon' on the Hoenn forum. This account posts all of my works."

Mammon gave Zhu Lan a 'pure' smile.

"Before you, Mr. DaMi and Mr. Daigo also had artworks, all of which I photographed."

"..."

Upon hearing this, a strange expression appeared on Zhu Lan's exquisite and beautiful face.

Michael and Daigo's artwork? Isn't that just a disgusting photo of Michael and Daigo in drag?
Yes, that's right, Zhu Lan has also seen this set of artworks.

After all, this art series is incredibly popular on the Hoenn forum. Whenever Cynthia visits the Hoenn forum, she can always see it in the popular posts.

Of course, Ran didn't ask Michael and Daigo where the photos came from; she respected their personal preferences.

But now she understands why these 'artistic photos' are circulating online.

Mammon, what a wicked fellow.

I wonder if Mammon will post his couple photos online...

Zhu Lan hesitated for a moment but still didn't ask. She understood that if Mammon really wanted to send it, she couldn't stop him, so it was better not to ask.

“Mammon, I know I can’t persuade you, but I want to ask you, can you let Cattleya go?” Zhulan asked Mammon.

"'Let her go'?" Mammon raised an eyebrow. This woman, she's at it again.

"Champion Bamboo Orchid, I'm not happy to hear you say that."

"Wasn't it you who brought Gadriya into Team Rocket?"

Zhu Lan is now absolutely certain that the person who caused Cattleya's change was Mammon! There's no mistaking it.

“It was indeed me, but I don’t think it’s a bad thing.” Mammon put the camera away and looked at Zhu Lan with a leisurely tilt of his head.

“Champion Bamboo Orchid, I think both I and Cattleya have told you that you don’t understand what people like us really want.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lan frowned.

“Gardelia is excellent, but before that she had no freedom, no sense of self, and was always overshadowed by you, the champion of Bamboo Orchid.”

Mammon spoke calmly.

"You don't know, do you? When I met Cattleya, she was already prepared to give up, to give up the idea of ​​pursuing you, and to give up her proud self."

Zhu Lan pursed her lips, her expression somewhat somber.

Is it because of me? Is it because my excellence has put too much pressure on Jia Deliya?
Zhu Lan couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"But now, Gadria has freedom, she has a home, she has ideals, and she has Team Rocket who are willing to accept her unconditionally. She has no shackles. In what way is she inferior to the past?"

Mammon's question made Zhu Lan gasp for breath.

"But Cattleya's future shouldn't be with the Rockets..."

However, Zhu Lan quickly regained her senses and retorted in a low voice.

"Ultimately, it's your prejudice against Team Rocket. You think Team Rocket is an evil organization, and that's why you're rejecting us," Mammon sneered.

“Isn’t that so?” Zhu Lan stared at Mammon.

“Of course, that was true before, I don’t deny it.” Mammon shrugged, offering no rebuttal.

The Rockets were indeed a notorious organization in the past, and there were reasons why they were hated and hated by the league and wanted by them.

"So I'm asking you to spare Cattleya, Mammon. I'll grant you anything you ask!"

Zhulan spoke in a firm tone.

"It seems you still didn't listen to what I just said. Whether Cattleya stays or goes is not up to me." Mammon was somewhat speechless, but then became interested again.

"And what you just said about 'anything' is true?"

"Yes."

"You'd even agree to let me marry you?"

“…Okay.” Cynthia hesitated for a moment: “As long as you get Gadria to leave Team Rocket with you, we’ll get married.”

Wow, what a sudden change!
Mammon looked at Zhu Lan with suspicion. Back in Larousse City, Zhu Lan had clearly been quite resistant.

“That’s a very tempting offer, but unfortunately, I can’t accept it,” Mammon replied with a quick chuckle.

“Cadalia has her own will, and besides, she is my right-hand woman. Cadalia is very important to me.”

"If Gadriya leaves the Rockets, who will fill her void? Zhulan, are you in?"

Mammon asked Zhu Lan with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lan frowned again, wondering if Mammon meant something like...

It's fine if Gadriya leaves the Rockets, but Blossom will fill the void left by Gadriya's departure.
This……

Cynthia bit her lip. How could this be? She wanted Cattleya to leave Team Rocket, that evil organization, but what difference would it make if she joined Team Rocket herself?
Zhu Lan was caught in a complex and deep thought.

……

The training ground behind the Alliance Building in Rainbow City.

Daigo and the others gathered here, and Ran had also returned.

Although her expression was strange when she returned, Daigo and the others were preoccupied and didn't notice Ran's odd behavior.

"These are the evolution stones and key stones that Dr. Blatano sent over."

Daigo opened the combination lock box on the ground, and inside were crystal-clear Mega Evolution Stones and Key Stones.

“It’s so beautiful~”

Mikuri couldn't help but marvel at the magnificence of these 'gems'. "They really are beautiful," Nemo said, looking at the Mega Stones with great curiosity.

"Dr. Blatano is still researching the origin of the Mega Stones, and if none of these Mega Stones are what we need, they will have to be returned."

Daigo spoke up.

"Then this is the Key Stone, which the Trainer carries. As long as the Trainer carries the Key Stone and it resonates with the Mega Evolution Stone carried by the Pokémon, the Pokémon can successfully Mega Evolve."

"Of course, these are all Dr. Blatano's arguments, but it is also possible. That's how Mammon made Bangilas evolve."

Daigo picked up the key stone and began analyzing it with Giovanni and the others.

"But each Pokémon has its own corresponding Mega Stone. Dr. Syracuse has not yet analyzed the types of these Mega Stones, so we need to find them ourselves."

"Also, not all Pokémon can Mega Evolve, so let's have our Pokémon try to sense their own evolution stones."

"Since it's an evolution stone exclusive to Pokémon, it must be related to something."

Daigo continued.

"That's easy, let me go first!"

Mr. Mikoli flicked his bangs, looking very handsome and dashing.

"I can't wait to Mega Evolve my Milotic and then go catch those evil Team Rocket executives!"

Ms. Mikkuri holds a grudge!

Let Daigo and the others handle Mammon, but Michael-sensei is very unhappy about Higanbana and Cattleya!!
He's Wallace, a former Hoenn Champion trainer!
How could they possibly be unable to defeat even the leaders of an evil organization? This is completely illogical!

“Okay.” Daigo nodded and stepped back a bit with Chikuran and the others.

Wallace took out a Poké Ball and opened it. Milotic landed in front of Wallace and turned its head to look at Wallace in confusion.

"Mildac, come and look at these evolution stones. Is there anything that catches your eye?" Mikuri asked Milotic expectantly.

Milotic tilted its head in confusion, but urged by Wallace, it turned towards the box containing the Mega Stone.

Sniffing left and right, a look of confusion appeared in Milotic's eyes.

"No response?" Mikoli asked in astonishment.

That shouldn't be the case! Could it be that none of these evolution stones contain Milotic?

Well, Wallace simply couldn't believe that his beloved Milotic was actually one of the Pokémon that didn't Mega Evolve.

"How about I give it a try?" Sakaki hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Row."

Mikkuri did not refuse, feeling that it shouldn't be a problem with Milotic.

"Beedrill." Giovanni threw out his Beedrill.

"Beedrill, feel around among these stones. Are there any that you find particularly special, or that you feel a connection with?"

Giovanni pointed to the Mega Evolution Stone in the box and asked Beedrill.

Beedrill tilted its head and thought for a moment, then floated to the box and used its stinger arms to flip it over. After flipping it over for a while, Beedrill pointed to one of the Mega Evolution Stones, turned around, and let out a low growl at Giovanni.

Really?

Daigo and the others were overjoyed.

"Is this it?" Giovanni quickly stepped forward and picked up the Mega Stone that Beedrill was pointing to.

The bee nodded.

"Really? Sakaki-senpai, you should try it!"

Nemo got excited.

Giovanni's Beedrill was already incredibly strong; if it Mega Evolved, how powerful would it be?!

Nemo had tried it herself. During this time, because she was bored, she also sparred and trained with Rin, Sakaki, and Dan.

Because Nemo was enthusiastic and cheerful and was a junior, the others, including Rin, did not refuse.

Without a doubt, Giovanni's Beedrill left a very deep impression on Nemo, changing her preconceived notions about the Pokémon Beedrill.

It's really too strong!

Her star player from last year, the Styracosaurus, was defeated by Beedrill not long after the battle started, which was absolutely absurd.

Even Nemo was tempted; should she raise a Beedrill?

“That’s right, Gym Leader Sakaki, give it a try.” Daigo nodded in agreement.

"Row."

Giovanni also showed interest, taking another key stone from the box and putting the Mega Evolution Stone that Beedrill had pointed out on Beedrill.

"According to Dr. Blatano, Mega Evolution requires not only the corresponding Key Stone and Mega Evolution Stone, but also a deep bond of mutual trust between the trainer and the Pokémon."

Daigo looked at the human and the spirit and said in a deep voice.

"Otherwise, even if Mega Evolution is successful, the Pokémon might go berserk due to excessive power."

"Gym Leader Giovanni and Beedrill should be fine." Leon crossed his arms and looked at Giovanni and Beedrill with great interest.

I wonder if my Charizard will also get a Mega Stone?

Leon was really looking forward to it. Although the Galar region has a unique Dynamax feature, Dynamax can only be used in the Galar region, and it can only be used near specific energy points.

However, Mega Evolution seems to have no such limitation. If one can master Mega Evolution, then his strength will naturally become even greater!
"The Great Needle Bee!"

Giovanni raised the Key Stone at Beedrill, but he was actually very calm.

Mammon already gave Beedrill its Mega Stone...

Giovanni is certain that what Beedrill just pointed out is the Beedrill Evolution Stone, so this Mega Evolution will definitely succeed.

The keystone began to glow, and simultaneously, Beedrill was enveloped in a rainbow of evolutionary light.

Daigo and the others who witnessed this scene all had a slight change in expression.

"It worked! It really works!" Nemo was overjoyed.

"Great!"

"With Mega Evolution, we can launch another offensive against Team Rocket!!"

Mikkelsen was also very happy. Rockets, just wait and see!
We champions have mastered super evolution, and we're no longer afraid of you!
