"How did it turn out like this?"
Mammon lay on the executive chair, looking at the screen in front of him, which displayed the surveillance footage from the first floor.
How should I put it? The scenes on the monitor left Mammon speechless.
Most of the Alliance's Champion-level Trainers had been captured, including even Steven and Red.
"This is a bit too effective; it makes things difficult for me…"
Mammon rubbed Jirachi's soft little face, quite troubled, making the dozing Jirachi look bewildered.
The Silph President looked at Mammon, who was muttering softly, full of confusion, not knowing what this big shot was mumbling about.
But Mammon was indeed experiencing a happy kind of trouble at the moment. Originally, in his mind, the plot should have gone like this:
Alliance personnel enter the "Saffron City Instance," then, after overcoming countless hardships, defeat Team Rockets members and Top Executives along the way. During this, they might even suffer heavy losses due to powerful Top Executives, recording this arduous journey.
Then, led by Kanto Champion Giovanni, the League Trainers finally arrive at the top floor of the Silph Co. Building, meeting Team Rockets' leader, who is also the final boss of this Legendary Instance.
Next, both sides engage in some verbal sparring, taking the opportunity to show off.
Finally, the two sides, with differing ideologies, begin to fight. The Alliance, after fighting with all their might, pushing beyond their limits, and giving their all, still cannot defeat Team Rockets' ultimate boss—the Near-God Person, Mammon.
Team Rockets successfully defeats the Alliance, rewriting the world's pattern (pattern/structure).
But the current situation… is it right?
"No, this is clearly wrong…"
Mammon was both relieved and troubled. He began to ponder where things went wrong.
Most of Team Rockets' Top Executives had not yet reached their peak in growth, so it was theoretically impossible for them to defeat the Alliance's Champion-level Trainers.
They also didn't have as many members as the opposing side, making it even harder to fight.
Moreover, the Alliance had three Top Champions. N, relying on the Black Dragon Zekrom, could barely hold off one of Lance or Leon. If he encountered Giovanni, N would undoubtedly be defeated.
So, for the remaining Leon and Mr. Giovanni, it would be impossible for anyone on the Top Executive side to withstand them, by normal standards.
Even Selene and Caitlin couldn't do it; they hadn't reached that level yet.
Caitlin's Little Lugia, after all, hadn't fully matured, so it couldn't withstand Leon's Charizard Y.
"Could that girl Akari already be a Top Champion?"
Suddenly, Mammon remembered this point.
Mammon had actually wanted Akari to experience the atmosphere of this historic battle by bringing her over from Hisui.
Furthermore, Mammon didn't think Akari could change the outcome of this battle, as her strength was only comparable to Caitlin's when they were last in Kalos.
He had been careless. With that girl's abnormal growth rate, she might indeed be a Top Champion now.
But…
"No, Akari can't change the outcome either."
Mammon thought carefully. Even if Akari was a Top Champion, she couldn't be Giovanni's opponent.
Giovanni has Primal Groudon!
Even Lance would be difficult for her to fight, because Lance actually also possesses a Lugia.
As long as Akari hasn't captured a mythical Legendary Pokémon, she cannot defeat Giovanni and the others right now.
And after Terapagos summoned Akari, it confirmed to Mammon that although Akari had a strong aura of Origin Energy, she didn't have the aura of any other Legendary Pokémon.
In other words, Akari hasn't captured a mythical Legendary Pokémon yet, so he still has a chance to appear…
Mammon felt quite conflicted. How should he put it? The organization's current strength is too great, making it difficult for him to show off in public.
But on the other hand, if he could defeat the Alliance without even needing to act, wasn't this precisely the result of his hard work in developing Team Rockets?
Thump thump thump
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Mammon put aside those chaotic thoughts and adjusted his emotions.
The door was pushed open, and the Silph President looked over in confusion, finding that a woman of outstanding temperament in luxurious clothes had walked in.
This is… the former Champion of the Kalos region, Diantha?
The Silph President quickly confirmed it. After all, she was a Champion from the Kalos region, and also a world-renowned actress.
But what was Diantha doing here?
"Diantha, long time no see."
Mammon waved to Diantha, and casually placed Jirachi on the table.
"It's really not easy to see you."
Diantha glanced at the Silph President, then slowly walked to Mammon's side with elegant steps and sat on his lap.
"Wouldn't it have been better to just come over from the start?" Mammon wrapped his arm around Diantha's waist.
"After all, I'm an Alliance Trainer. If Kanto asks me about it later, am I supposed to say I went to challenge Mammon to a duel?"
Diantha sighed softly. This was also where she had a headache initially. If the Alliance asked her what she was doing on the battlefield afterwards, she couldn't just make something up, could she?
But it's fine now. She was captured along with Wallace and the others, and she didn't hold back.
"But it's fine now." Diantha's lips curved slightly.
"Mr. President."
"Ah?"
"Would you mind stepping out for a moment?"
"Oh, oh, oh."
The Silph President was startled, then quickly reacted, cleared his throat twice, stood up, and walked out of the office.
After all, they were all adults; how could he not understand?
However, the Silph President truly hadn't expected that Mammon and the former Champion of the Kalos region actually had such a relationship. Amazing!
"Oh, Mammon, there's that in the second drawer on the right side of the desk."
As if remembering something, the Silph President gestured to the right side of the desk to Mammon, then showed a smile that all men understood, and walked out of the President's office.
"Why did you make him leave?" Diantha feigned an expression of not understanding.
"You demon, what are you always rubbing against me for?"
Mammon opened the drawer the Silph President mentioned, and inside were indeed the condoms.
"Tsk~ I didn't realize, this Silph President seems to be quite robust even in old age." Mammon clicked his tongue in wonder.
"Wait, what are you rushing for? Check if there are any cameras."
Diantha rolled her eyes at Mammon, pressing down on his mischievous hand.
She didn't want her solo with Mammon to be filmed.
"Don't worry, I already checked."
…Sector 6.
"Phew~ We finally won!"
Selene let out a long breath, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
This was because the intense, close-fought battle had gotten her excited.
"Master Masutā, you're strong, I almost overturned, amazing~!"
Selene grinned at Mustard. She truly hadn't expected this old grandpa, who looked so old, to still be so strong.
As expected of the former undefeated Champion of the Galar region.
"Hahahaha~ You're also very strong, little girl, even stronger than Gloria, fantastic."
Mustard also laughed heartily. Although he was defeated, this full-power battle had truly satisfied him.
As for Kukui, he had already been defeated by Gloria.
"That's really exaggerated, even Master Mustard isn't your opponent, Selene."
Gloria's eyes sparkled, not expecting Selene to be so amazing.
"It was also a bit of good luck, and Single Strike Urshifu is four times weak to Fairy."
Selene was uncharacteristically humble. Single Strike Urshifu's combat power was truly formidable, but fortunately, its weakness was being four times weak to Fairy.
This allowed Selene to seize an opportunity.
And this was not a 1-on-1 battle in an arena. After taking down Urshifu, Mustard's team's combat power immediately dropped significantly.
"There's no such thing as luck in battle, little girl. Your future is limitless."
Hearing this, Mustard couldn't help but stroke his chin, filled with emotion.
In his opinion, Gloria was already an exceptionally outstanding junior, and surpassing Leon in the future was a certainty.
And for Selene, a youngster even more exaggerated than Gloria, Mustard couldn't even imagine what heights she could reach.
"Hahaha~ Then I'll thank you for your praise, Master Mustard. But for now, let's send you and Professor Kukui to the building."
Selene's smile was very happy.
'Honey, I caught another Mustard.'
After taking a photo of the captured Mustard for Mammon, Selene happily sent a message.
This way, her merits would increase by another +20000. Not bad, not bad.
After sending Mustard and Kukui to the Silph Co. Building and letting her Pokémon recover, she could go out 'hunting' again.
She just didn't know how the overall battle was going now.
Sector 4.
Giovanni was currently leisurely making his way towards Leon's location. He was not in a hurry.
Of course, he wasn't in a hurry. After all, he was with the Alliance in body, but with Team Rockets in heart.
Although he wasn't planning to betray them and reveal his hand, and he would fight with all his might for the Alliance—since the outcome wouldn't change anyway—it didn't prevent him from walking a little slower, right?
However, Giovanni still marveled at the changes of this past year.
"Mammon, he really is right."
Giovanni looked at his phone, which displayed the current battle situation of the Alliance.
The continuous reports of lost signals made Giovanni chuckle.
Yet all of this was the result of Mammon not even having made a move yet!
Giovanni couldn't even imagine how Mammon managed it. How could he find so many strong individuals to join Team Rockets?
Over this past year, Team Rockets had changed so much that Giovanni felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
As expected of his all-talented son!
Giovanni couldn't help but want to hum. Mammon said there were parallel worlds; he wondered if the 'Giovanni' in those parallel worlds had such an amazing son?
Beep beep beep!
Suddenly, Giovanni's phone rang.
"Champion Giovanni! Where are you right now?"
Officer Jenny's anxious voice came through.
"I'm in Sector 4. Don't rush, Mio, what's wrong?"
Giovanni raised an eyebrow, his calm, magnetic voice making officer Jenny calm down.
"The battle situation is completely out of control, but the most important thing right now is that Champion Leon's signal feedback has disappeared!"
officer Jenny's urgent voice continued.
"Champion Giovanni, quickly go and check it out!"
"What did you say?"
Giovanni was equally astonished. Leon's signal feedback had disappeared?
