Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 166 Mammon said, "You can always trust me" (Second Update)

However, Primal Kyogre still didn't use its ultimate skill at close range, not because it was afraid, but because Primal Kyogre felt that as an "elder," it would be beneath its dignity to bully a young Rayquaza.

"Hey~ Higana, what happened to you in such a short time?"

Primal Kyogre lowered its body slightly, and a figure leaped off its back, a slightly teasing voice reaching Higanbana's ears.

Higana slightly raised her head, her reddened and moist eyes meeting the boy before her.

"Mammon..."

Higana's vision was blurry, but she still noticed the figure in front of her.

"You seem to be in some trouble. Do you need help?"

Mammon looked at the inheritor girl's dull and lifeless eyes, which were completely different from the bright and spirited eyes that had once been.

As expected, it failed...

Mammon was certain that Rayquaza probably still hadn't accepted Sigana.

However, this was somewhat expected.

“Mammon… I can’t do it… I can’t make Rayquaza Mega Evolve… I…”

Higana bit her lip, lowered her head again, and her extremely sad and painful tone was heartbreaking.

This was the first time that the proud, cheerful, and strong-willed Higana seemed to have vanished in an instant.

But that makes sense, doesn't it? She had been desperately pursuing Rayquaza, yet she couldn't gain Rayquaza's approval. For Sidana, that was a huge blow.

She carried an unbearably heavy burden: her people, the prophecy, her sister, her faith…

To achieve all of this, she had to succeed, but she failed.

"I……"

Thinking of all this, Xijiana's voice trembled with tears. How could she face the disappointed looks of her people now?
Mammon's smile faded slightly as he glanced at Rayquaza, causing the previously cautious Rayquaza to shudder.

It clearly remembered how 'terrifying' this human was!
It was this person who commanded the Primal Kyogre and the others to defeat their invincible Black Rayquaza father!

This incident also cast a deep shadow over Rayquaza.

In particular, it seems that Father is also very interested in this human. Perhaps he could become Father's trainer?
What should I call this human?
Rayquaza fell into deep thought. If this human really had become his father's partner, then according to human etiquette, should he call him...?

"Rayquaza..." Mammon couldn't help but sigh. Rayquaza really is a 'harmful creature'. Look at what it has done to such a bright and cheerful girl as Higanbana.

but……

"Uncle! I'm here!"

Liekong, who was caught in a mental storm, subconsciously replied upon hearing the voice.

"???"

Mammon looked at Rayquaza in astonishment, and Primal Kyogre also looked at Rayquaza in shock.

Not a buddy? Who are you calling uncle?
Lie Kong, who had also come to his senses, was stunned. He immediately raised his head, adopting a cool and aloof demeanor, as if nothing had happened.

However, the suspicious redness on its face clearly indicates its current mental state.

“Hijana, don’t worry. I’ve said it before, we are now a community with a shared future.”

Mammon glanced at Rayquaza strangely, then squatted down, patted Higanbana on the shoulder, and smiled as he spoke to her.

"No matter what happens, don't be afraid, don't be confused, don't worry. Just entrust yourself to me and I can take care of your life."

Mammon's gentle yet resolute tone was deeply moving.

Higana's choked sobs gradually subsided, and she slowly raised her head to look at Mammon, her heart trembling.

"Mammon..."

The image of the boy before her was reflected in the eyes of the girl who inherited the legacy.

“Higana, you can always trust me.”

Mammon smiled and slowly turned to look at Rayquaza.

"Even if you fail, I can take full responsibility for all the consequences, so don't bow your head. I will help you get back what you have lost."

The original Kyogre's golden beast eyes slowly turned cold and indifferent, and the tangible sense of oppression made it almost hard to breathe.

And the target, of course, is Rayquaza.

"and many more……"

But Rayquaza sensed something was wrong. Why did it feel like it had become the 'villain'?

"Uncle... no, human, I never bullied this inheritor!!"

Liekongzuo quickly explained using telepathy that it even felt wronged, and that it also had a conscience.

After all, this successor is Xijia's sister, and Liekongzuo was originally planning to give her another chance.

But before it could finish speaking, the original Kyogre and Mammon arrived.

"Although she doesn't quite meet my requirements right now, I'm prepared to continue observing her for the time being. She still has a chance!"

Rayquaza didn't really want to suffer an undeserved disaster. Although it could shake its parents, that would be too embarrassing.

Upon hearing this, Higana's expression changed instantly.

"really?"

Mammon raised an eyebrow.

"It's absolutely true!" Lie Kongzu nodded frantically.

Mammon's feelings were indeed quite complex, after all, this human had defeated his invincible dragon father.

"How is it?" Mammon asked Higana.

"I will work hard to gain Rayquaza's approval!"

Higana wiped away her tears, revealing a resolute look in her eyes.

Yes, she cannot be weak!

“Alright, it doesn’t really matter. I can help you deal with the meteorite prophesied in your tribe, so don’t feel guilty.” Mammon patted her shoulder.

"Hmm~!" Higana gazed at Mammon's face and smiled.

She didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment, she just felt... very at ease.

She remembered that Mammon had said something similar to her before, but compared to then, having truly experienced the 'despair' just now, Higana's mindset had undergone a subtle change.

"So... if we're going to observe, then you'll have to observe Higana up close, right?"

Mammon pondered for a moment, then looked at Rayquaza.

"?" Lie Kong tilted his head.

"Then you can stay by my side for now. You can observe Higana and also train yourself."

Mammon took out a high-level ball and grinned at Rayquaza.

"Huh?" Lie Kong was taken aback.

"Look at you, your dad is so strong, but you're so weak. I'll teach you a lesson."

Mammon tried to express his thoughts, but anyone could understand that he probably just wanted to find some free 'labor' to use temporarily. "This...isn't that inappropriate?"

The Sky-Sitting tried to politely decline, but to be honest, it was also somewhat tempted.

Mammon was very blunt, but Rayquaza understood that it was ridiculously different from its parents.

But Liekong didn't want things to be like this, and it was under a lot of psychological pressure, but it just couldn't learn how to add the finishing touch. What could it do?
"Not suitable? This is very suitable, Rayquaza. Don't you have any self-awareness? Do you really think your 'weakness' is only because you can't Mega Evolve? The main reason is that your combat level is too poor."

Mammon immediately and bluntly offered his critique.

"If it weren't for my concern for your father, I wouldn't even bother with you. Look at how weak you are, you can't even beat Deoxys, and you still dare to say you're not weak?"

Liekong felt a chill run down his spine.

"I understand, please teach me, Uncle!" Liekongzuo felt that Mammon's words made sense.

It no longer wants to tarnish the name 'Rathalos'; it's under a lot of pressure!
"Come on in. I'll teach you how to fight properly when I have time."

Seeing Mammon pack Rayquaza into a Poké Ball with just a few words, Cynthia's mind went blank for a moment.

And what's with Rayquaza calling Mammon "Uncle"?

Is this the special language of the Rayquaza clan?
But no matter what, it's not the worst outcome. At least Rayquaza has said that it can still give her a chance.

As for the meteorite crisis, Mammon is willing to help her resolve it.

Higana felt incredibly at ease at that moment, but for some reason, her heart seemed to race whenever she looked at Mammon for too long…

The inheritors are bewildered. Why is that?
……

Shuijing City Hospital.

"..."

Daigo slowly awoke, only to be greeted by a pale ceiling.

An unfamiliar ceiling, where am I?

Daigo tried to get up, but he felt extremely weak all over, and his head ached and his throat was burning.

"Daigo! Daigo, you're finally awake!"

A surprised voice suddenly came, and Michael's little face suddenly came into Daigo's view, startling Daigo.

"Daigo, are you alright? I was so scared when you suddenly fainted." Mikuri looked at Daigo with concern.

"Cough cough...water...give me water..." Daigo's voice was extremely dry and hoarse.

"Oh oh."

Mikoli quickly poured Daigo a glass of warm water and held it to Daigo's lips.

After drinking some water, Daigo finally felt better. Michael helped Daigo sit up and propped up his pillow.

"What's wrong with me?"

Daigo glanced at the IV drip hanging on his arm, then looked around the ward and noticed that Dante and the others were also there.

"The doctor said you suffered a severe emotional shock, coupled with extreme mental exhaustion, and then got caught in the heavy rain, which caused you to develop a high fever."

Zhu Lan spoke softly.

“Daigo, you’re in very poor condition right now. You need to rest in the hospital for a few more days,” Dante added.

Daigo paused for a moment, then he remembered it too.

"...I'm sorry for causing everyone trouble." Daigo sighed.

"It's nothing, Daigo, you still need to take better care of your health, and we understand," Sakaki said in a low voice.

They have all seen the pressure Daigo has been under lately.

Given what happened, it's understandable that Daigo couldn't hold on and collapsed.

Of course, this was also inseparable from Mikkuri's amazing help; it can only be said that Mikkuri is truly incredible.

Despite all that Mammon did, he couldn't break through Daigo's defenses, but Michael's precise 'one-hit' attack did indeed defeat Daigo.

"What about the Rockets?"

"The Rockets have retreated, so there's no need to worry for now," Din replied.

"Right now, Daigo, your most important task is to get your health back."

“That’s right, Daigo-senpai, health is the most important thing!” Nemo nodded repeatedly.

Daigo's sudden collapse really startled them, and it also showed that Daigo's body had probably reached its limit.

Daigo spent a lot of effort to deal with Team Rocket, but the final result was unsatisfactory, or even terrible.

Mikoli's line, "Daigo, save me," was simply the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Okay, thank you everyone for your concern." Daigo forced a smile.

"Daigo, you should rest first. We'll head out now."

Sakaki gave Dante and the other two a look, and then the four of them left the ward, leaving Mikori alone.

"Mickey, I'm sorry to the Hoenn League." Daigo sighed, his voice filled with weariness and self-reproach.

"Daigo, what are you saying?" Mikuri frowned his handsome brows.

"I won't allow you to talk about yourself like that, Steven. In my heart, you are the best trainer in Hoenn! And the guardian of the Hoenn region!"

Mikoli said earnestly, his tone extremely firm.

Daigo was quite touched to hear this. Michael, he really is his good brother!
"Mikeli, I need your help with something, and I hope you can agree."

“Daigo, just say the word. There’s no need for formalities between brothers like us.” Mikuri nodded.

"After this incident, I realize that I'm really pushing myself too hard as the Hoenn Champion." Daigo rubbed his temples wearily, feeling that he probably had a lot of gray hair lately.

"Moreover, I cannot get away with the consequences of this incident with a clear conscience. It is all because of me that the situation has become like this."

Daigo sighed.

"So, Mikoli, I hope you can take back the Hoenn Championship title..."

“Daigo.” Mikuri suddenly interrupted Daigo.

"?" Daigo looked at Michael with a puzzled expression.

"What was your last sentence?" Michael asked.

"Michael, there's something I need your help with..."

"I won't help."

Mikoli replied expressionlessly and decisively.

What a joke! Brothers are brothers, but to think he'll be the Hoenn champion again? Dream on!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Daigo stared at Michael in disbelief, feeling as if he had to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough..."

"Daigo! Daigo, what's wrong with you, Daigo! Doctor! Doctor, come quick, Daigo looks like he's about to collapse!!"
