Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 163 You still have to thank Team Rocket!

Groudon felt like it was about to break down.

It has never drunk so much water in its entire life; it's almost overflowing from its rear end!
That damn fish! I'll kill you a thousand times over!
But reality is cruel; its consciousness is already fading, and there's no room left to squeeze in—nothing can be squeezed in at all.

Primal Kyogre slowly emerged from the sea and, upon seeing Groudon's large belly, immediately felt comfortable.

So awesome!!!
"Groudor..."

Giovanni and the others were also surprised to see Groudon as a 'pregnant woman'.

Good grief! Didn't you say you were 80/20 with the original Kyogre? How long has it been?
Your belly has gotten so big?!
"Humans...humans...quick...save me..."

Groudon's intermittent, almost breathless tone suggested that if Primal Kyogre continued to toy with it, it would truly be ruined.

It can even now see alpacas radiating holy light and with a kind face through its virtual vision!
Giovanni quickly recalled Groudon with a Poké Ball.

Mammon's expression remained strange for a while before he turned his gaze to Primal Kyogre.

Seeing the smug look on the original Kyogre's face, Mammon could only give it a thumbs up.

"6!"

The original Kyogre was even more smug, feeling that it had truly reached the pinnacle of its fish life!
"Kyogre, hold back for now."

Mammon smiled and spoke to Primal Kyogre.

"Woo~"

The original Geokawa immediately understood, and with a deep whistling sound, the originally extremely violent downpour subsided considerably, returning to the level of normal rainfall.

But the rain didn't completely stop.

"Mammon, we've already reached an agreement, haven't we?"

Daigo's expression tightened as he looked at the rain, which had not yet completely stopped.

"Of course, I've already made Kyogre behave a lot, haven't I? Now, we need to talk about compensation, right?"

Mammon grinned, looking at Daigo-sensei with a leisurely air.

"compensation?"

Steven frowned. He had already bowed his head and apologized to Mammon, and promised to release all Team Rocket members captured in this operation.

But it seems that Mammon is not satisfied.

"Of course it's compensation, Daigo-sensei. You don't think it's that simple, do you?"

"My appearance fee is very expensive."

Mammon raised an eyebrow and said with a half-smile.

"..."

Daigo remained silent, and the other two, including Giovanni, looked at Mammon in silence as well.

Although we know Mammon is demanding benefits, what can we do? There's nothing we can do.

"Okay, you say it, as long as you make Kyogre stop the rain."

Daigo composed himself and said to Mammon in a deep voice.

Regardless, the most important thing now is to stop this catastrophic downpour.

Although the original Georka has adjusted the rainfall, as long as the rain continues, it will still be a burden for cities that have already experienced flooding.

"First, let's settle my appearance fee with the compensation for emotional distress suffered by our Rockets team members." Mammon held up one finger.

"Ten billion, that shouldn't be too much, right?"

Mammon spoke with a smile.

"!!!"

Even Dan Di and Zhu Lan were shocked upon hearing this number. Ten billion?!

Although I knew Mammon would definitely ask for an exorbitant price, I never expected it to be this high.

"Mammon, isn't this price way too high?!" Sakaki couldn't help but exclaim again.

The cost of repairing the Rockets' base, the medical expenses for the minor injuries to Rockets members, and even if Mammon's so-called "compensation for emotional distress" are included, this 10 billion is still an astronomical figure.

"Is it high?" Mammon tilted his head.

"Gentlemen, I was at home enjoying hot pot with beautiful women and singing karaoke when I suddenly learned that my base was under attack."

Mammon described it innocently.

"And please take a good look at me. I'm Kyogre's trainer, and my appearance fee is very high. Do you think this is a joke?"

Mammon’s tone was incredibly natural, as if he had never been like that before.

Blanch!
Even the Pill Emperor couldn't hold back anymore. How could this guy say such a thing so matter-of-factly?
"Ten billion, I'll give it to you."

Daigo took a deep breath and replied expressionlessly.

Zvoch Mujin is already in jail, and he's currently acting as the agent for Devon Corporation. He certainly doesn't lack money. But even for Devon Corporation, a hundred billion in liquid assets is by no means a small sum.

But at this point, there is no room for negotiation.

What's more...

In Daigo's view, he was the one who caused this incident, and he should be held responsible for it.

"Tsk~ Daigo-sensei is so generous!" Mammon applauded Daigo-sensei.

"Anything else?" Daigo asked in a deep voice. He knew it couldn't be that simple.

"Secondly, you must know about Team Rocket's businesses in Hoenn, right, Mr. Daigo?"

Mammon asked Daigo.

“Alpaca Entertainment City and its affiliated companies.” Daigo frowned.

Alpaca Entertainment City is a newly opened entertainment city in Violet City, built on the site of the original Violet Game City.

Daigo certainly knows this; a little investigation would reveal it.

Alpaca Casino originated in Alola, and Alola has provided information that subtly suggests Alpaca Casino is a Rocket Team company!
"That's right, our entertainment center is a legitimate business, and we have a business license."

Mammon grinned. It's always good to be clean-cut. Judging from Daigo's reaction, he seemed to only know that the entertainment center was owned by Team Rocket.

However, Team Rocket has already established many companies and projects in the Hoenn region, such as the Pokémon Riding Shop, which is currently very popular in Slateport City.

Upon hearing this, Daigo stared intently at Mammon. Compared to the 10 billion, Mammon's second request was clearly more outrageous!

Because what Mammon meant was that he wanted Daigo to acknowledge the legitimacy of Alpaca Casino!
But wouldn't that be acknowledging the Rockets' legitimacy in the Hoenn region?
How can this be? Team Rocket is an evil organization!
"Daigo-sensei, you should think carefully before you answer." Mammon's smile remained very warm.

Daigo's breathing became heavier.

Dante and Zhulan both frowned deeply, understanding that Daigo had already been taken away.

But if it were them, what choice would they make in this situation?

Will you endorse the legitimacy of an evil organization? Or will you choose to fight Mammon to the death?
But if we reject Mammon at this time, who knows if Mammon will really go crazy and let Primal Kyogre flood the Hoenn region?

Dan Di and Zhu Lan asked themselves these questions, but they didn't know the answer either.

Time passed second by second, but every second was torture for Daigo.

"Mammon, do you really have to force me like this?" Daigo's voice was unusually hoarse at this moment.

He really didn't know what to choose. He was the Hoenn Champion and had a responsibility to make every sacrifice for the Hoenn region.

He has this awareness, but it's not like that.

If he had known this would happen, he would have preferred to shoot a hundred sets of women's clothing rather than take back the Hoenn champion title from Mikuri.

“Daigo-sensei, you can’t just say things like that.” Mamon couldn’t help but laugh, his tone unusually sarcastic: “You chose this idol, didn’t you?”

Daigo's face twitched as he stared at the boy in white shirt and black pants opposite him, and the imposing Primal Kyogre behind him. What should he choose?
Daigo's expression kept changing, shifting between light and dark.

The rain continued to fall in a light drizzle.

After a long while, the Hoenn champion's upright shoulders finally began to shrug.

"I understand. As long as your Alpaca Entertainment City doesn't break the law, it's a normal business."

Daigo's voice was incredibly weary; he had finally given in.

He doesn't dare to gamble; he's already lost once on Groudon, hasn't he?
The current situation arose from this.

If Mammon really 'went mad' and wanted to keep Primal Kyogre running at full power through the Primal Sea, how could he be responsible for the Hoenn region?

Upon hearing this, Mammon's face broke into a radiant smile.

The three of them, including Sakaki, looked at Daigo, who seemed to have suddenly lost all his energy, exchanged glances, and sighed silently.

They can understand, they really can.

clap clap ~
Applause erupted; it was Mammon.

“That’s more like it, isn’t it? Daigo-sensei, you really are a person with profound thoughts.” Mammon said with a smile while clapping for Daigo.

"After all, our Rockets team hasn't done a single illegal thing since joining Hoenn, has it?"

"We also helped you get rid of two cancerous groups, Team Aqua and Team Magma. We've never stopped working on the Hunter Organization."

Mammon waved to the original Geokara.

Primal Kyogre let out another howl, and the dark rain clouds in the sky began to dissipate.

"Moreover, Team Rocket can also help you deal with the giant meteorite that the Meteor Dwellers prophesied will destroy Hoenn. We've always been protecting this bountiful land."

"Daigo-sensei, to be honest, you should thank Team Rocket."

Mammon's voice sounded exceptionally harsh to Daigo.

But then he suddenly thought back, and it seemed... that really was the case?
