"This is just too fierce."
Serena looked at the smiling Akari, then at the cold, sinister Hisuian Samurott in front of Akari.
According to Akari, this was her starter Pokémon, and it had even defeated Platinum's Entei.
Although Entei was weak to Water-type moves, throughout the battle, Hisuian Samurott displayed more of its astonishing combat power.
Especially its sharp offensive, which Entei couldn't even parry.
Besides Hisuian Samurott, Akari's other Pokémon also performed brilliantly; not to mention Sneasler, Ursaluna's combat power was also quite astonishing.
"..."
Caitlin did not speak, but her expression was not very good.
After only four months of travel, she had already defeated the current Platinum... How strong would Akari be by the end of the year? She might even be a match for Mr. Giovanni and Leon.
The strongest Trainers Caitlin had ever seen, besides Mammon, were Leon and Giovanni.
These two were truly astonishingly strong; it felt like they had already reached the limit of Champion.
But with Akari's growth rate, she might be able to defeat Leon and Giovanni by the end of the year, right? No, it might not even take until the end of the year.
This was truly terrifying; it was like Mammon and Platinum combined!
Caitlin's eyes flickered with uncertainty.
Serena, whose gaze suddenly swept over, noticed Caitlin's expression and quickly looked away.
Miss Caitlin is so scary right now!
After the battle, the group sat down to chat again, and of course, the conversation was mostly about Akari.
Along the way, Baraz and Meray also finished their daily farm work and came over.
When Mammon introduced Akari, the Baraz siblings were also stunned.
But after recovering, Meray's gossip heart exploded.
She pulled Akari, constantly asking about various things in the future, and time flew by until evening.
This time, Baraz specially prepared two wooden cabins for them. He had considered this point and was very apologetic for forgetting yesterday.
Mammon naturally said it was fine; in fact, Baraz forgot yesterday because he was drunk, and Baraz's alcohol tolerance was also very poor.
"Mom, you must drink this. This is juice I specially brought back from Hisui."
In the room, while Serena was taking a shower, Akari took out a small wooden bottle from her backpack and instructed Platinum.
"Okay." Platinum nodded.
"And Mom, try to get together with Dad as soon as possible!" Akari emphasized to Platinum again.
"This..."
Platinum was very shy. How could she do something like that?
"As long as Mom takes a little initiative, Dad definitely won't be able to resist." Akari leaned into Platinum's ear and whispered something.
Platinum's eyes suddenly widened, and her ears turned completely red.
"As long as Mom uses these, trust me, Dad will definitely fall for Mom!"
Akari was very confident because the 'props' she mentioned were all things she had found in Platinum's closet before.
Dad must like them!
"But, this is really..."
Platinum was extremely shy, and her head felt a little dizzy.
"Mom, do you like me?"
Akari pouted, looking at Platinum with tearful eyes.
"I do..."
Platinum pursed her lips. Of course, she liked Akari; she really liked this smart and clever girl.
"Then Mom, you must also want to see me early, right? As long as Mom and Dad get together early, I can be born early."
Akari looked at Platinum with puppy-dog eyes, like a small animal. This expectant look made Platinum unable to resist.
The power was too strong.
"I... I understand."
Platinum reluctantly agreed.
"Yay! I knew Mom loves me and Dad the most. Mom, be brave."
"Time's almost up, goodbye, Mom. I'm going to say goodbye to Dad."
Akari hugged Platinum tightly, then quickly ran out of the house.
Be brave?
Looking at Akari's retreating figure, Platinum pursed her lips, but as soon as she thought of herself and Mammon... Platinum's cheeks flushed.
This is really... "Has Akari left?"
Serena, who had just finished showering and was wrapped in a towel, came out of the bathroom.
"Yes, she said time was almost up and went to see Mammon."
Platinum nodded.
"Still calling him Mammon?"
Serena wiped her flaxen hair, a teasing look on her face.
"Your daughter is already so grown up."
"Serena!"
Platinum chided Serena, but then sighed with some helplessness and confusion.
"Serena, what do you think I should do?"
Platinum looked at the photo of herself and Akari on her phone, unsure of what to do.
"You're asking me?" Serena rolled her eyes cutely.
"If Akari were my daughter, I'd probably be overjoyed."
Akari, so excellent, beautiful, and with such astonishing Trainer talent. Wouldn't having such a daughter make one extremely happy?
Platinum remained silent.
"Are you conflicted about something?" Serena was a little curious about Platinum's thoughts.
"I don't know how to describe it. I'm very happy about Akari's appearance, but Mammon's side..."
"Then I ask you, do you like Mammon?" Serena thought for a moment and asked.
"...I do." Platinum hesitated slightly. In fact, she knew very well that her feelings for Mammon were more of aspiration and admiration.
Liking him, of course, she liked him.
She had even dreamed of a very happy life with Mammon.
"But I don't know what Mammon thinks. He likes Akari very much, but..."
Platinum's words sounded a bit messy, but Serena suddenly seemed to understand Platinum's meaning.
"So, you're actually worried that Mammon wants to be with you because of Akari's existence, and not because he likes 'Platinum' as a person?"
Serena's expression was a little strange.
"..." Platinum fell silent again.
"Sister, you're overthinking it a bit."
Serena was quite speechless, walking to the dressing table with a wry smile and sitting down.
"First of all, Akari is your daughter, the crystallization of your love with Mammon, Platinum. It's precisely because you fell in love that Akari appeared."
"And then there's the Akari we see now. Your thinking is a bit backward."
It's not Akari's appearance that brought me and Mammon together, but because Mammon and I were together that Akari, the crystallization of love, was born?
Hearing Serena's words, Platinum suddenly realized. It seemed right.
"I understand, thank you, Serena."
Platinum seemed to relax all at once, smiling at Serena.
"You're welcome. And now, are you going to Mammon's? Work hard and try to let me hold little Akari soon."
Serena combed her hair, winking playfully at Platinum.
"What are you talking about!"
Platinum instantly became an ostrich again, her voice like a mosquito.
"Sister, you can't be like this." Serena hesitated for a moment, but still tried to remind Platinum.
"For a man like Mammon, if you have the chance, try to seize it, Platinum."
"Otherwise, who knows how many people are eyeing Mammon? Even if Akari 'backs you up' later, your position in the family might not go up."
Serena felt that Platinum was still too shy.
Akari was clearly a super 'monster,' and Platinum, with Akari 'backing her up,' would definitely have a high status later.
But with Platinum's personality, it was a bit difficult.
Platinum: "..."
"How can it be that exaggerated..."
Platinum felt that Serena was overthinking it.
"Platinum, you're from a big family, you understand less than I do."
Serena paused her hair-combing, her expression a little strange.
"Even knowing about Akari's existence, Mammon already said today that he can't marry only you."
"I know, but..."
Platinum frowned slightly. No matter how many wives Mammon married, everyone was a family.
"No 'buts.' Do you know why ancient kings only had one queen?" Serena looked at Platinum.
"Mammon is not a king, but the principle is the same. Platinum, you are kind-hearted, so you might think that it's meaningless to differentiate status, but others won't think that way."
"Not to mention distant matters, what about Mammon's girlfriend? How do you think she will view you, the 'third party' who 'stole' a part of her man's love? And Miss Caitlin."
Serena carefully glanced at the door, lowering her voice slightly.
Platinum's small face wrinkled into a ball.
"Miss Caitlin has always liked Mammon. You might not have noticed, but when Akari defeated you, Miss Caitlin's expression was very bad."
Serena whispered to Platinum.
"Miss Caitlin has always taken good care of me." Platinum replied softly.
Platinum still liked Caitlin very much because Caitlin was very elegant and treated her very well.
"Yes, because before, you were colleagues and friends, but today, after Akari appeared, it's different." Serena analyzed very seriously.
"Platinum, when it comes to matters of the heart, few people are willing to make sacrifices unless absolutely necessary. But even so, to get more love, you need to fight for it yourself."
"Serena, you know so much, but haven't you never been in love?"
Platinum blinked, curiously looking at the eloquent Serena.
"I've read a lot of books and watched a lot of TV shows!"
Serena replied proudly.
So you're just a theoretical master.
Platinum was a little speechless, but what Serena said did make some sense, but she still believed that everyone wasn't that malicious.
"I'm going to take a shower first."
Platinum shook her head, preparing to take a shower first.
On the other side.
"Goodbye, Dad!"
"Goodbye."
Mammon watched Akari gradually disappear as Terapagos's time-travel ability expired.
However, it was already certain that Terapagos had sent Akari over, so there was nothing to worry about.
But Akari couldn't stay here forever; she had her own journey, and besides, her journey truly concerned the safety of the world.
"Galar, Paldea."
Mammon looked at the world map on the table. Now, only these two regions were left untouched.
And Mammon believed that conquering these two regions would not be difficult. The tide was turning, and the current Team Rockets was the tide!
To be honest, it wouldn't even matter if Mammon didn't go personally; letting Gladion lead people to develop there would be fine.
With Rose's wisdom, he couldn't possibly go against Team Rockets.
However, Mammon was actually quite interested in the Galar region, for example, Eternatus!
With Eternatus, Gigantamax energy spots could be set up anytime, anywhere, which was very good.
Moreover, Mammon planned to host the World Championship next year. As the biggest event encompassing Trainers worldwide, Mammon needed to prepare meticulously.
Time came to the next day.
After an entire night of agonizing, Platinum was still too thin-skinned to raid Mammon at night, as they hadn't even confirmed their relationship yet.
And today, Mammon also had no plans to continue staying in Genesis Valley.
After bidding farewell to the Baraz siblings, with the help of Punishment Hoopa's spatial golden rings, Mammon and his group returned to Lumiose City.
Lumiose City was still a bustling scene. In just a few days, the city's appearance had recovered a lot.
Mammon first went to visit Lysandre and the others who were imprisoned, but unfortunately, Lysandre, who was decadent due to his shattered dream, was still in a reclusive state.
Even when Mammon went in to find him, Lysandre was unwilling to communicate with Mammon.
On the other hand, Pachira, after Mammon communicated with her, was willing to join Team Rockets.
Coincidentally, Mammon had not yet exposed her identity, allowing her to return to the Kalos League to serve as an Elite Four member.
As for the other Team Flare executives, they were all loyal to Lysandre, so Mammon was also very touched. All the women were sent to sew first, and the men went to mine.
Since Lysandre was reclusive, Mammon kept him imprisoned for now, to be discussed later.
Because he was about to leave Kalos, Mammon also specially called Diantha over that evening.
Perhaps knowing this, Diantha was especially cooperative, and then... then she fainted again.
The next day, Mammon and the others boarded a plane back to Kanto. Accompanying them, besides Caitlin and Platinum, were Serena and Alexa.
Serena was there because she felt that there were more high-ranking executives in Kanto, and she could have a better special training environment.
As for Alexa, it was because of a bombshell piece of news.
Giovanni, the Gym Leader of Viridian Gym, who was also Mammon's biological father!
His Elite Four challenge was about to begin!
As Team Rockets' exclusive reporter, Alexa was naturally very excited and didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Giovanni was Mammon's father! An exclusive interview with him would definitely go viral!
Especially since Alexa had asked Mammon, and this time, Giovanni's Elite Four challenge was 100% guaranteed to succeed!
Which meant Giovanni would become the Kanto Champion!
Oh my goodness!
She could interview the Kanto Champion, and this Kanto Champion was also the father of the current Team Rockets boss.
She was going to hit it big!
Alexa was very excited. No more talking, she definitely had to dress sexy tonight and make sure Mammon had a great time!
