"??? "
Hearing Mammon's words, Thundurus had three question marks appear on his forehead.
But then, Thundurus understood and laughed in extreme anger. What kind of person was this?
Did he know who he was? Thundurus! The legendary incarnate forme!!
Did he think he was a Caterpie? And buy one get one free??
He was just a mere human, Thundurus decided to teach this arrogant human a harsh lesson!
And then…
"Not bad, I caught two more legendary Pokémon."
Mammon looked at the two Ultra Balls in his hand, feeling quite pleased.
Hmm, it really wasn't difficult at all. Dark Mewtwo directly used Psychic to control Thundurus and Tornadus's incarnate forme, then made them repeatedly smash into the mountain wall until they were done.
As for the Poké Ball capture phase, he just needed to use a little Psychic to ensure the Poké Ball wouldn't be broken free from.
The whole process could be said to be exceptionally easy.
Psychic-type Pokémon, when facing an overwhelming power advantage, were truly too useful. Psychic was simply omnipotent.
"Wow!! Mammon, oh my goodness, this Pokémon of yours is just too strong, isn't it?"
Rosa exclaimed, running over to Mammon's side, her eyes practically sparkling with little stars.
She found Mammon to be truly amazing!
The large blue fish that appeared at Dragonspiral Tower last time, and now this Dark Mewtwo—no wonder even Reshiram chose Mammon.
If she were Reshiram, she would definitely choose Mammon to be her True Hero too.
"Haha~ Mewtwo is indeed very strong." Mammon felt the girl's admiration, and his mood clearly became even more pleasant.
"Mhm mhm~ ! I feel like if it's you, Mr. Mammon, defeating General Alder is definitely something you can do." Rosa nodded like a pecking chick.
Hearing this, Elesa's pretty face looked strange. General Alder?
It seemed Rosa still had no concept of Mammon's strength. Forget one General Alder, ten General Alders probably wouldn't be Mammon's opponent…
Just with a Kyogre, how could General Alder possibly win?
"I think, as long as you train hard, Rosa, you can definitely defeat General Alder by the end of the year."
Mammon smiled without speaking, encouraging Rosa.
"Heh~ Really? I thought so too! This year, I'm definitely going to reach the top of the Unova League!"
The bun-haired girl clenched her small fists, full of fighting spirit.
"You can do it, I believe in you." Mammon affirmed with a smile.
Rosa's face brightened into a brilliant smile, her large eyes curving into crescent moons.
After catching Thundurus and Tornadus's incarnate forme, Mammon pondered. To be honest, both of these Pokémon were quite good.
But Mammon wasn't very interested. After all, he already had many main Pokémon. It wasn't impossible to train them, but it would only be better than nothing.
Most importantly, Mammon didn't feel a connection with these two.
They had strength, but not enough to attract Mammon.
As for the appearance of Thundurus and Tornadus… let's not mention it. They could only be said to fit right in with Tapu Koko and Tapu Bulu.
If they were Zeraora and Diancie, Mammon would truly train them himself. Mammon would also be willing to train Darkrai, Latios, and Latias, as they were excellent in both appearance and strength.
On the way back, Mammon thought for a moment and sent a message to Selene.
"Babe, Flying-type or Flying + Electric, which do you choose?"
"? Babe, my main team is already full, and for Flying main, I have Dragonite and Articuno already." Selene's reply was quick.
"And Babe, why do you always send me Flying-types? Are you not trying to pay tribute to someone again?"
Selene was puzzled. She was happy that Mammon sent her Pokémon, after all, her boyfriend doted on her so much.
But it was always Flying-types, which made Selene a bit overwhelmed.
"Haha~ You found out, Babe. You should form a Flying-type team and take down that Dodo bird."
Mammon couldn't help but laugh. Thinking about it, it was true; Dragonite and Articuno both had the Flying type.
"??? "
Selene sent three more question marks.
"Why don't you pick one? Dragonite and Articuno can be considered Dragon-type main and Ice-type main, respectively. Both of these are good."
"No way, that's too many Flying-types in the team, it's easy to be targeted. I'm going to be the strongest Champion. (sunglasses.jpg)"
"Are you sure you don't want it? They are legendary Pokémon, you know."
"No, no, hmph hmph~ I caught a legendary one myself too. (photo)"
Selene sent a picture. In the picture, she was wearing a flower straw hat, giving a peace sign to the camera, and behind her was an extremely burly and strong silver Pokémon.
Mammon recognized it at a glance; it was the Mythical Pokémon Melmetal.
In the anime, Ash's Alola team had a Melmetal.
"My Babe is awesome." Mammon sent a thumbs-up emoji.
"Hehe~ Of course! And Babe, I discovered something. That big rooster, it's always flying back and forth between Poni Island and Melemele Island now. I don't know why."
Selene sent a message full of doubt. She remembered that Tapu Koko used to just roam around Melemele Island.
And she always felt that Tapu Koko's spirits seemed to be low recently.
"And, it used to only occasionally fly over my head, but now I find it appearing near me every other day. I even suspect it's following me."
"I'm going to catch it sooner or later!!"
Selene was very annoyed. If she wasn't still a bit unsure, she would have definitely used her Universe's Strongest Incineroar to teach that big rooster a good lesson.
"…" Mammon's expression became strange when he saw these words.
He actually strongly suspected that Selene's guess was true…
Because Tapu Fini and Tapu Lele were taken away by him and Caitlin, Tapu Koko and Tapu Bulu's workload increased.
And Tapu Koko was already a bit neurotic, so it was normal for it to become even more neurotic with an increased workload.
Mammon even suspected that if Tapu Koko dared to follow Selene today, tomorrow it might directly try to get itself caught by Selene's Poké Ball!
Hmm, Tapu Koko might actually do something like that, as it had always been a bit unhinged.
Tapu Bulu was probably crying in the bathroom. In the blink of an eye, all three of its colleagues ran off, leaving it alone to manage four islands.
The sky had truly fallen for it.
After chatting briefly with Selene again and exchanging some expressions of longing, the conversation ended.
Returning to Ein Doha Ok, Mammon and the other three found a high-end restaurant. Mammon generously ordered a table full of dishes.
"Woohoo~ Big spender!"
Seeing the table laden with luxurious dishes, Rosa couldn't help but cheer.
"It's been so long since I've eaten such a lavish meal."
"Eat as much as you want, order more if it's not enough." Mammon couldn't help but laugh, "Are you very short on money?"
"Not really, it's just that I spend a lot on training Pokémon, and there aren't many other expenses." Rosa stuck out her tongue.
"Actually, I've earned quite a bit of money along the way too. I really like to gamble some pocket money with Trainers, hehe~ it's just that many people aren't willing to gamble."
At this, Rosa looked very innocent. She felt that those Trainers had no guts at all. Were they really so unconfident in themselves?
They weren't even willing to gamble pocket money; they wouldn't achieve anything great!
"…" Mammon fell into thought upon hearing this. Selene seemed to have this habit too.
Speaking of which, was this a common problem for protagonists? If they didn't have money, they'd go earn some from other Trainers?
"What I like most are those young masters and young ladies. If I win against them, I can get a lot of pocket money, which I can use to buy lots of snacks for Serperior and them."
Speaking of this, Rosa's face brightened with a smile.
Actually, travel expenses weren't particularly high, because for newcomers like her, Pokémon Centers provided food and lodging.
Normally, she would just buy clothes. Since she was always in the wild, she could also save on makeup expenses.
But daily meals, snacks for Pokémon, and specially made Poke Blocks were not small expenses.
If conditions were better, who wouldn't want their Pokémon to live a better life with them?
"That's pretty good." Mammon smiled.
"Mr. Mammon, is your family very rich?" Rosa asked Mammon curiously.
She genuinely felt that Mammon's family must be a prominent one, as Mammon had a very good demeanor, unlike someone from an ordinary family.
And Caitlin, that inherent elegance and nobility; an ordinary girl couldn't imitate it.
"It's alright. My dad is a Gym Leader from Kanto, but I started my own business, so… I guess I'm a boss?"
Mammon thought for a moment and said so.
"Starting a business? Mr. Mammon, you're amazing~!" Rosa clicked her tongue cutely.
What the heck, starting a business? Wasn't Mammon only one year older than her?
"Haha~ Rosa, my company also hires Trainers as temporary workers. The pay is quite generous. Are you interested in joining?"
"Eh? There's such a thing?"
Rosa was stunned.
"Yes, when you're free, if there's a task, you can participate. You just need to complete the minimum number of tasks each month. If you're busy, your base salary will be partially deducted."
Mammon explained to Rosa.
"That sounds pretty good, actually." Rosa blinked her eyes.
"Sometimes there are inter-regional missions too. As long as you have time, you can participate, and the company will reimburse flight expenses."
Mammon said with a smile. Hmm, this was a service he specially prepared for 'temporary workers' like Rosa, Du Ruo, and Zi Yu.
"There are actually many temporary workers your age in the company, but most of them are still studying at Blueberry Academy. How about it? Want to give it a try?"
"Okay!" Rosa didn't even ask what the so-called tasks were. Although she had only met Mammon twice, she still trusted him very much.
And, to take a step back, Mammon was a true hero.
Could someone chosen by the True Dragon God possibly be a bad person who was two-faced?
Rosa didn't believe it. Rosa trusted her own feelings more. Hmm, she felt that Mammon couldn't be a bad person.
