What could it be?
Mammon looked at Ash with great interest. As the protagonist of the anime, although Ash was not very strong in the early and middle stages, his protagonist luck was maxed out.
Yes, I'm talking about his good luck with legendary Pokémon! Whether it's by chance or necessity, whenever Ash travels to a certain region, he will encounter almost all the legendary Pokémon and mythical Pokémon in that region, either in TV shows or in theatrical versions.
Whether the relationship is good or bad, you will definitely meet each other.
But now that Ash has just set out on his journey, will he have such a powerful aura that even Armored Mewtwo would be concerned about?
Yes, of course there is!
Mammon immediately thought of a legendary Pokémon from the Kanto region, Ho-Oh!
This was the first legendary Pokémon that Ash encountered by chance on his first day of traveling. If it was Ho-Oh, it wouldn't be surprising at all.
But now there is a problem. Ash only saw the Ho-Oh, and he has never come into contact with the Ho-Oh. How can he have the breath of the Ho-Oh? But in an instant, Mammon immediately thought of something.
There are still some!
In "I Choose You", Ash also sets out on a journey with a reluctant Pikachu, is also "hunted down" by a flock of Spearows, has the same Pikachu explode, and the same Ho-Oh appears with a rainbow after the rain.
But the difference is that in this parallel world, Ash obtained a rainbow feather specially left by the Ho-oh.
The Rainbow Feather, also known as the Rainbow Feather, is a treasure that only those chosen by the Ho-oh possess. It also represents their reserve to become the Rainbow Hero.
As long as he can pass the tests of Entei, Suicune and Raikou, the guards of Ho-oh, he can officially become the Rainbow Hero and meet Ho-oh at the end of the rainbow.
"The movie version of Ash?" Mammon's eyes changed subtly.
There is a theory of parallel time and space in the Pokémon world, and parallel worlds really exist.
Logically speaking, the Ash in the movie "I Choose You" is very different from the Ash in the TV version.
The travel partners alone are different, because in the movie, Ash's partners are not Misty and Brock.
And the biggest difference is that the trainer talent of Ash in the movie is really exaggeratedly good. It is the talent of the original Red in the game version.
The first area is not even over yet, but Pikachu is already able to fight Ho-Oh. Although he should lose in the end, at least they are fighting back and forth in a short period of time?
And in the movie, there is no outrageous plot that Charizard is disobedient or even "strikes" during the game. Instead, Ash despises Pikachu and Charmeleon for being weak. However, with the help of Machado, Ash quickly finds his original intention.
"It should be the Rainbow Feather, but I don't know..."
Mammon thought to himself, if this is really the talent of Ash in the movie, it would be so interesting.
"Mammon!"
But before Mammon could finish his thought, Ash shouted to Mammon with high morale.
"?" Mammon tilted his head in confusion.
"Let's fight! I'm strong too!"
Ash challenged Mammon to a duel without hesitation, and his clear eyes seemed to be burning with a raging fire.
That was pure fighting spirit!
"Hey? Ash?"
Misty and Brock were stunned. Fighting against Mammon? They would definitely lose, right?
Although Ash's strength is indeed a bit exaggerated among rookie trainers, Mammon was the champion of the Quartz Conference last year.
But then the two of them felt relieved, after all, it was Ash.
"Fight? I also want to fight with you, Ash, and know your strength." Mammon couldn't help but laugh when he heard that.
Ash's handsome face showed a big smile. He liked this! Because it also means that Mammon agrees with him, right?
"But not now, I have something to do today. How about our battle next time?"
Mammon smiled and spoke to Ash. He did have something to do next, and he was not in a hurry as for the battle with Ash.
If it was the TV version of Ash, he would be a complete rookie now, and it would be boring to play against him. If it was the talent of the movie version of Ash, it would be a little more interesting, but that's all. It would be better to let him develop for a while longer and then enjoy the results of his development.
After all, Mammon has never had much interest in the weak, and he doesn't really like to bully small fry.
"Eh? What a pity..."
Ash's expression was visibly disappointed when he heard this, and his shoulders shrugged.
"It's not a pity, Ash. If we are still destined, we will definitely meet again."
Mammon's mouth curled up.
"Before that, you should become stronger as quickly as possible. I am very strong. I hope that when we fight, you won't be like the boy in shorts on the side of the road and be crushed by my Pokémon."
Mammon made a vivid metaphor that made Misty and Brock feel ashamed.
Does this sound a bit... arrogant?
"Of course not! Mammon, I'm going to be a Pokémon Master in the future!" Ash clenched his fists with excitement.
Being defeated by Mammon like a roadside wretch? He didn't want such an ending!
"We won't lose to you! Right Pikachu?"
Not only that, he also wants to defeat Mammon! Defeat last year's Quartz Conference champion!
"Pika...Chu?"
"Hey? Pikachu, please speak louder and show some strength."
Although the trainer was full of fighting spirit, Pikachu did not seem to be infected by Ash's high spirits. He swallowed his saliva and looked at Armored Mewtwo quietly.
"Oh? You seem quite energetic. I'll wait for you then."
The curve of Mammon's mouth corners became a little higher. As expected, Ash is a very interesting guy.
"Goodbye, Ash. If you have time, you can go to the game hall over there and play. As long as you win enough tokens, you can exchange them for a lot of rare Pokémon."
"Mewtwo let's go."
Mammon said goodbye to Ash and his two companions, greeted Armored Mewtwo, and turned and left.
"Game hall?" Ash looked thoughtful. He was wondering if his wallet could afford it.
On the other side, Mammon brought Armored Mewtwo to a private house and walked into the underground base through the secret door.
However, what surprised Mammon was that there was a low and shrill alarm sounding in this underground base.
"Gladion, what's going on?"
Mammon quickly came to the main control room. At the moment, Gladion was the only one in the room, observing the surveillance in every corner.
"Someone has sneaked into the base. Ariana has led people to search for him."
"Oh? You're really brave."
Mammon raised his eyebrows. This underground base in Celadon City is one of the Rocket Team's large and important bases in Kanto.
Therefore, the concealment measures are very effective, and there are always members of Team Rocket guarding the entrances and exits, so it is conceivable how difficult it is to sneak in.
"In that case, Mewtwo, let's go look for this little mouse as well."
I don't know if this 'little mouse' is a boy or a girl. If it's a girl...
