Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 190 Are we really helpless against Mammon?

Hello, are you hiring?

A bright and beautiful young girl in a super short miniskirt ran up to Mammon and the others' workbench and asked expectantly.

"Yes, could you please provide your basic information?"

Mammon wore a gentle smile.

“Um… 160, B89—W54—H80.”

Her cheeks were slightly flushed from the miniskirt, and her voice was very shy.

"?"

Mammon stared at the woman in the miniskirt with her hair tied in a ponytail, looking completely bewildered.

Not sisters, you... right?
And your measurements...

Mammon couldn't help but subconsciously glance at the miniskirt. "Are you sure this isn't a fake report?"

Standing behind Mammon, Cattleya's eyes instantly turned as cold as ice as she stared intently at the woman.

On the contrary, Higana looked at the miniskirt with a puzzled expression. She couldn't quite understand what the string of numbers the girl had just recited meant.

"Ahem~ beautiful lady, that's not what I'm asking about. I'm asking about your trainer information."

Mammon coughed lightly, expressing his opinion tactfully.

"Oh, sorry, my name is Ellie." The miniskirt blushed even more.

"I am a second-year student at Blueberry Academy and a member of the League Club. I am currently ranked 43rd and specialize in Grass-type Pokémon."

The woman in the miniskirt quickly introduced her basic information.

"I see. Then your strength must be quite good." Mammon raised an eyebrow. Ranked 43rd in the Alliance Club, he was already considered an elite student in this school.

Why do you want to join our company?

That's right, Mammon is recruiting right now, and he's recruiting right here at Blueberry Academy. However, he has already communicated with the higher-ups at Blueberry Academy.

After providing a portion of the funding, Mammon, using the company's name to recruit talent, successfully established connections with the college's senior management.

"My family isn't very wealthy, and I heard you offer payment here." Miniskirt touched her bangs shyly.

"Of course, our company is very willing to invest in excellent trainers and provide them with monthly salaries. However, in return, you will also have to make some contributions."

Mammon responded with a smile.

"Since you haven't graduated yet, I can offer you a monthly salary of 5000. Occasionally, I might contact you to assign tasks. If you really can't get away, you can let me know in advance."

"Don't worry, the mission won't be too difficult. As long as you complete the mission, you will get a certain amount of merit points. Merit points can be exchanged for money or other rare items, and even excellent Pokémon."

"If you agree, you can download our company app and check it out then."

"what do you think?"

Mammon patiently began to explain to Ellie.

"I do!!" The girl in the miniskirt nodded vigorously, her pretty face beaming with excitement.

Good heavens!! She's still a student, and she gets a fixed monthly salary of 5000! 5000 can buy ten high-end balls!

Moreover, she only needs to go on missions a few times a month, and she can still go to school normally. Isn't that great?

Xiaoli told her that she could earn 2000 a month, but she earned 5000. It seems that it is related to her ranking in the alliance.

After all, the ranking of the alliance is also related to strength, and the higher the ranking, the stronger the strength.

"Here is the contract. Please sign it. Be sure to read it carefully. Once you sign it, you will be an employee of our company."

Mammon took a document and placed it on the table, then smiled at Miniskirt.

Miniskirt picked up the contract and examined it carefully.

"But don't worry, we are a conscientious company. Once you graduate, you will be a full-time employee, and your benefits will be even better."

"Yes! I will definitely try my best!"

After confirming that what Mammon said was true, Miniskirt signed the contract immediately, looking energetic and full of fighting spirit.

"Then welcome to the team, Miss Ellie."

"Thank you!"

After helping the miniskirt-clad girl download the app, she happily skipped away.

Well, safety shorts are truly the most failed invention in human history!
"Then you'll take over next, Plum."

Mammon assigned the recruitment task to one of his elite subordinates who had come with him, and stretched his body.

Wu Li hasn't called him yet, but Mammon isn't in a hurry.

"Huh? Mr. Mammon?!"

Suddenly, a surprised voice came from not far away.

Mammon turned his head and saw the fresh and lovely senior, Ziyu, looking at him with delight.

"Miss Ziyu."

"It really is Mr. Mammon! What brings you to our academy?"

Zi Yu trotted over, asking with great surprise.

She thought she was seeing things, but it really was Mammon. To be honest, she was really pleasantly surprised.

“I started a company and need some trainers to help me, so I came to Blueberry Academy to see if I can recruit some people.”

Mammon smiled and said to Ziyu.

"Huh? What kind of company needs trainers?" Zi Yu was taken aback upon hearing this, somewhat surprised.

Although this is a world themed around Pokémon, the trainer's side and the everyday life side are actually completely unrelated, and can even be described as distinctly separate.

Silver Corporation, which pioneered the basic technology of the Poké Ball, is one of the world's top companies in terms of output and size. It's rich, right? But that's all it is—rich.

Didn't the Rockets easily take over the game? Even President Silver was captured.

Therefore, the life side and the trainer side can be said to be two different worlds, and the balance of order in between is maintained by the Pokémon League.

Many employees in companies may have been trainers before, but after starting work, they basically say goodbye to their past trainer career.

Just like in the third generation of anime, what Mammon remembers most clearly is that Haruka participated in a grand tournament in Kanto, and her final opponent was a working man who had already started his career.

Therefore, many people who didn't achieve much in their teenage years as trainers eventually settled down and went to work.

But this is completely different from a trainer going to work.

The main reason is that not many companies would hire trainers, since trainers are people with dreams or who simply enjoy traveling.

What's the point of hiring someone like that? Even if they're willing to have their name on the company's website, the company probably wouldn't, since they need to pay a salary!
"It's just my personal vision, Miss Ziyu. Are you familiar with Team Plasma and the Hunter Organization?" Mammon thought for a moment and then asked Ziyu.

“Hmm…” Zi Yu tilted her head. Clearly, she only had a vague understanding of it, since she had always been well protected by Boss Ju.

"Team Plasma is a cult that advocates separating people from Pokémon, while the Hunters treat Pokémon as a commodity to be sold, using machines to capture them and then selling them to collectors with a desire to collect."

"Huh?" Zi Yu's eyes widened.

"That's why I founded this company, hoping to recruit like-minded people. If we discover any signs of these evil organizations, we will eliminate them. Evil... cannot be tolerated!"

Mammon's voice was rather deep.

"Mr. Mammon!" Senior Sister Ziyu was very excited upon hearing this. She did not expect that Mr. Mammon, who was so young, was already engaged in such a great cause.

"Please let me join! I want to do my part too!"

Zi Yu's tone was very firm.

"Well... sometimes missions might affect your studies, right?" Mammon feigned hesitation. "It's alright! Besides, I joined Blueberry Academy to learn and become stronger, but if I can participate in events fighting against evil organizations, I think I can grow even better!"

Senior Sister Ziyu spoke very seriously.

"Alright then, but Miss Ziyu should prioritize her studies."

Mammon hesitated for a moment but then agreed.

"Don't worry, Mr. Mammon!" Senior Ziyu was full of fighting spirit, and could even be described as a little excited.

For a girl with such sound values, fighting against evil organizations is truly wonderful!
"Then let's sign this contract. These things are all done in secret, so you can't tell anyone else about the company's mission."

Mammon took out a contract and spoke to Ziyu.

This is such a pleasant surprise!
A talented girl like Zi Yu would be a very useful henchman, although it's definitely not safe for her to know the organization's true identity right now.

However, she is also very suitable for use in battles against the Plasma Team and the Hunter Organization.

When the time is right, we'll use both soft and hard tactics; we're not afraid she won't join the Rockets.

"Great, huh? There's even a monthly salary to be paid?"

Zi Yu took the contract and looked at it, then spoke with some surprise.

"Of course, we are a legitimate company. However, since you are still in school, Miss Ziyu, you are not yet a formal employee, so your monthly salary is not high."

“Mr. Mammon, I think this salary is already very high.” Zi Yu looked at the 20000 written on her contract and exclaimed in amazement.

Her family was relatively wealthy; after all, Boss Ju was a man with a mountain of wealth under his name. But that didn't mean Zi Yu didn't know the wages of ordinary people.

Her salary is already very high; many ordinary workers don't even earn that much in a month.

“For a trainer as cute and capable as Miss Ziyu, I don’t think this monthly salary is too much,” Mammon replied with a smile.

"Well……"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yu's fair face flushed slightly. Mr. Mammon actually said she was cute!

"Mr. Mammon, are you hiring anyone else? I know a few outstanding students who I think would be happy to join!"

Zi Yu quickly came to her senses and spoke to Mammon.

“Of course it is.” Mammon was naturally more than happy to agree.

Moreover, if Zi Yu could describe them like that, they must be Du Ruo and the other Blueberry Academy Four Heavenly Kings. Those people are indeed quite good.

Mammon's lips curled into a slight smile; his trip to the Blueberry Academy had been quite fruitful.

Next, have Lancegraggio send people to search the Plasma Team's base, and send all the students there to test their combat capabilities.

……

Loose City, Hoenn Region.

"Hello, champion Ardek."

"Daigo, the champion? I've heard so much about you."

In Daigo's office, Daigo and Michael sat side by side, and Daigo was in contact with Alder.

“Adek Champion, it’s like this, our guild leader just mentioned it to me, Mammon went to Unicron, right?”

Daigo said to Alder.

"That's right, I'm ashamed to say, we don't have the strength to resist Team Rocket, so we would like to ask you for help."

Adek's deep voice carried a hint of helplessness and embarrassment.

After all, he was a trainer from the previous era, and among the current champions in various regions, he is the oldest.

“Don’t be shy, Adeke. To be honest, if the opponent is Mammon, it really doesn’t make much difference whether we are there or not.”

Daigo's tone was equally helpless.

The leader of the Hoenn Alliance had just approached him to ask for his opinion, and upon learning the situation...

It's no exaggeration to say that Daigo didn't want to go.

It's not that he was unwilling to help, nor that he had a psychological aversion to Mammon, but rather...

How could he possibly fight against Mammon who has the original Kyogre?

Moreover, and most importantly, Mammon, wielding Primal Kyogre, can fight Mammon as long as he can't counter Primal Kyogre's Primal Sea.

What level of awareness and sacrifice would be required?

From Daigo's perspective, he wouldn't be able to make that decision; it involves the entire continent!

"What do you mean, Daigo, the champion?" Aldek was taken aback, not quite understanding.

"You know the champion, Aldridge. A while ago, I also invited a few champions, including Zhu Lan Dan Di, to help us fight the Rockets, but the final result was not satisfactory. I'm not afraid to laugh at you, but actually, even if we all joined forces, we were no match for Mammon."

"This... is that Mammon really that strong??"

Adek was shocked.

"That's right, he captured Primal Kyogre. Primal Kyogre is very powerful, but that's not all. Champion Alder, Primal Kyogre's ability, Origin Sea, is the most crucial."

Daigo explained to Adek in a deep voice.

Then Daigo gave a detailed account of the situation Hoenn faced at the time, as well as the power of the Primordial Sea.

"A torrential rain that will flood the mainland..."

Adeker's heart skipped a beat in the Hinoki City Alliance Building, his face turning extremely grave.

This……

Wouldn't that leave Mammon completely helpless? Because Mammon would essentially have the bargaining chip of 'mutual destruction'!
How can they possibly fight the Rockets? If they're not prepared to sacrifice the entire region, aren't they just letting Mammon run rampant?

Is there absolutely no other way?

Adek's voice was somewhat hoarse.

"That's not necessarily true. Mammon isn't that kind of cruel and unrestrained person. He's ambitious, but unless he's driven to a corner, I don't think he'll let the Primal Kyogre expand the Origin Sea unchecked to take revenge on society."

Daigo hesitated for a moment, then shared his thoughts with Adek.

This was indeed his true thought. He carefully recalled all his interactions with Mammon. Although Mammon was indeed very arrogant, he didn't seem like a villain who would commit a massacre.

"Is that really the case?" Adek was still somewhat worried.

"Of course, we can assure you, as the Ardek champions, no one knows Mammon better than us!"

Teacher Michael's reply was so confident.

Daigo's lips twitched, and he glared at Michael. How dare this guy say such a thing?
"In short, I'm just telling you the information I have so far, Champion Aldridge. As for how to deal with the Rockets, that's up to you."

“If you need help, Mikkel and I would be happy to go and assist you.”

Daigo spoke earnestly to Alder, after all, he had recently received assistance from Rin and the others.

"Then please come to Unova, Champion Daigo. My situation is actually much more complicated than you think."

“Okay, we’ll be in Higaki City tomorrow,” Daigo replied.

"I will personally pick you both up."

Adek composed himself and said that after learning more detailed information about Mammon, he was actually under even more pressure.

Team Plasma, Team Rocket, Zekrom, Original Gyonkska...

Adek rubbed his temples wearily, feeling a deep sense of exhaustion.

why?

Why must they, the people of the community, suffer such torment?
