World Tree Paradise.
Unbeknownst to many, a majestic and grand castle had been erected around the World Tree Paradise.
Mammon had previously dispatched people to build it.
The main reason was that the Kanto Rocket Team lacked a specific headquarters, so Mammon thought of N's castle in the Unova region.
As the boss of Team Rockets, how could he not have a cool castle?
Thus, the World Tree Castle was completed.
"Lord Mammon, welcome back."
The castle gates slowly opened, and Anthea and Concordia stood behind them, bowing to Mammon in greeting.
So beautiful~!
Serena, who was following behind Mammon, looked at the two women; their temperament, appearance, and figures were all impeccable.
"Long time no see, Anthea, Concordia."
Mammon slowly walked in and smiled at the two women.
The World Tree Castle had just been completed, and Anthea and Concordia were managing it as the castle's housekeepers.
Mammon trusted the two women very much; after all, they were his women, and their personalities were gentle and mature. When they were in Team Plasma, they were the executives 'Goddess of Love' and 'Goddess of Peace,' so their management abilities were beyond doubt.
"You must be tired from your journey. Would you like us to take you for a bath first?"
Anthea said softly, Mammon's reflection shimmering in her tender, watery eyes.
"I am a bit tired indeed. I'll take a shower first then."
Mammon stretched lazily.
"Concordia, take Caitlin and the others to their rooms."
"Yes."
Concordia responded, and in a corner unseen by others, she gave Anthea a resentful look.
Damn it!
Watching Anthea lead Mammon upstairs, Caitlin remained expressionless. What did she mean, taking Mammon for a bath?
That pink-haired woman clearly wanted to exploit Mammon!
Damn it! Mammon was already tired from traveling all day!
"Miss Caitlin, please follow me."
Concordia naturally noticed Caitlin's displeasure, but Concordia was already used to it.
She probably knew why Caitlin didn't particularly like their sisters, but Concordia remained calm.
Because, in the end, it still depended on Lord Mammon's attitude, didn't it?
Moreover, Concordia felt that her sisters' demands were not high; they were not greedy people and were very clear about their position.
As long as Lord Mammon didn't neglect their sisters, that was enough.
Concordia led Caitlin and the others to the second floor. Knowing that Caitlin and the others were coming, Concordia and her staff had already prepared the rooms.
Caitlin naturally went into her room to rest, but Platinum and the other two women asked Concordia to show them around the castle.
"This castle is too luxurious, isn't it? It truly is a king's castle." Alexa exclaimed, taking pictures.
And while it was called a castle, its actual area was no less than that of an ordinary village or town; it was astonishingly large.
"Because Lord Mammon instructed that everything in the castle be designed to the highest specifications, and this castle itself is also the organization's headquarters."
Concordia smiled.
"Do people usually live in the castle?" Serena asked curiously.
"Yes, Anthea and I are the castle's housekeepers, and many servants also live in the castle. They are responsible for the castle's daily cleaning, and the organization's top executives also have permission to live in the castle."
Concordia introduced as she led them to a huge conference hall.
This was a huge conference room, but currently, there were not many seats at the conference table, only seven.
At each seat, the name of the seat's owner was written, with Mammon's name at the head.
"Top executives?"
"Yes, the privileges of top executives are the highest in the organization, and they also have a private room in the castle."
Concordia nodded.
"Caitlin, Zinnia, Karen, N, Colress, Selene?"
When she saw the name on the last seat, Platinum was startled. Selene?
If she remembered correctly, wasn't that Mammon's girlfriend's name?
So, Mammon's girlfriend is already a formal Champion-level Trainer?
"Will the top executives come to live in the castle then?" Alexa asked again.
"Yes, Miss Zinnia has been living in the castle, and Miss Karen, Mr. N, and others occasionally return to the castle for sparring."
Concordia thought for a moment and said with a smile.
"Only Miss Selene hasn't visited the castle yet." Concordia said.
"Miss Concordia, have you met Selene?"
Platinum wasn't sure what she was thinking when she asked this question.
She wasn't really familiar with Anthea and Concordia, having only met them once before, but she had a good impression of the two women.
"No, I haven't, but Lord Mammon said that Miss Selene is still training in the Alola region, so she doesn't have time to return to Kanto."
Concordia still maintained a very gentle smile.
"I see." Platinum nodded.
Under Concordia's guidance, Platinum and the two other women explored the castle for another half an hour. The castle's facilities were incredibly comprehensive, beyond imagination.
There were entertainment rooms, gyms, swimming pools, and even a specially equipped cinema, among other things.
It's worth mentioning that Alexa originally wanted to find Mammon to relax, but she didn't succeed.
Well, because Anthea and Concordia had already taken the initiative.
Leaving Alexa to return to her room resentfully, alone.
Well, in reality, if Alexa had been willing to join the 'battle,' Mammon certainly wouldn't have minded, but Alexa, despite being a rather open-minded older sister,
It was still her first day meeting Anthea and Concordia, and Alexa was also shy, so after some deliberation, she decided to leave it for later.
Even if she were to accompany Mammon with other women, Alexa would rather do it with Viola, after all, Viola is her biological sister.
However, although Viola also has an outgoing and cheerful personality, she probably wouldn't be very willing to do such a thing.
Two days passed in a flash.
During these two days, Mammon stayed at World Tree Castle, and in the daytime, he would visit World Tree Paradise.
And these two days, the Kanto internet was also very lively, because the Kanto League had already started to build momentum.
The strongest Gym Leader in the Kanto region, Gym Leader Giovanni of Viridian Gym, will undertake the Elite Four Challenge!
In the Kanto region, Gym Leader Giovanni's reputation goes without saying. His mature and steady personality, and his openness, made him exceptionally unique among the Kanto Gym Leaders.
And because of Mammon's affairs, Gym Leader Giovanni, as a father, has been trending repeatedly.
Previously, some people questioned Gym Leader Giovanni's identity, but the Kanto League strongly supported him, and with Team Rockets' reputation getting better and better, the relationship between Gym Leader Giovanni and Mammon has also become a topic of much discussion.
On the fourth day of Mammon's return to Kanto, Indigo Plateau, the headquarters of the Kanto League.
On this day, Indigo Plateau Arena was already packed with people.
In previous years, such a grand occasion only occurred during the Indigo Plateau Conference, but today was different!
On the torch, Moltres's sacred flame burned fiercely.
"Tsk~ After I settle things with the League, I must talk to Charles Goodshow."
Sitting in the VIP spectator seats, Mammon glanced at the flame on the torch and couldn't help but click his tongue.
It's the headquarters of the Pokemon League, after all, and they're using Moltres's flame? That's too weak.
If it's really not working out, just tell me, I can get you some real Dragon God's flame, can't I?
If you don't want that, I can even get you some Ho-Oh's flame, it's not impossible.
Moltres's flame is really too weak, it doesn't match the Kanto League's prestige.
You know, in our Team Rockets' exchange list, Moltres is currently in a state of being ignored.
"?" Platinum, sitting next to Mammon, tilted her head in confusion. What did Mammon mean by that?
The time came to nine in the morning.
"Welcome, everyone, to Indigo Plateau Arena."
On the high platform, a man in a suit with a slicked-back hairstyle and sunglasses held a microphone, his loud and clear voice echoing throughout the entire stadium.
"Today, we will witness the Elite Four Challenge, applied for by the Gym Leader of Viridian Gym!"
"He will start from the first Elite, without rest in between, and continuously challenge the Kanto Elite Four. If he fails midway, it will be considered a failed challenge!"
"And if Gym Leader Giovanni can successfully defeat the Elite Four, then Gym Leader Giovanni will become the new Kanto Champion!"
At this point, the sunglasses-wearing host's voice became high-pitched.
"However, this will be an extremely difficult challenge! As everyone knows, our Kanto Elite Four are recognized as the strongest Elite Four in the world!"
"Since the current Elite Four, led by Lance, were formed, for several years, let alone continuous challenges, no one has been able to defeat even the first Elite, Kona!"
"So today, can Gym Leader Giovanni succeed?"
"Let us wait and see!"
The sunglasses-wearing host's hosting skills were clearly very profound. In just a few sentences, he completely stirred up the atmosphere of the entire venue.
Throughout Indigo Plateau Arena, a large number of spectators let out excited and enthusiastic cheers.
"Alright! Now, let us welcome the challenger for the Elite Four Challenge."
"From Tokiwa City, the Gym Leader of Viridian Gym — Gym Leader Giovanni!!!"
As the sunglasses-wearing host's high-pitched and passionate shout echoed, from an adjacent passage, a middle-aged man with a buzz cut, dressed in a luxurious black suit, slowly walked into the battle arena.
Gym Leader Giovanni had one hand in his pocket, his somewhat gloomy, lean face bearing a faint smile. His demeanor was mature and steady, showing no signs of nervousness.
"Gym Leader Giovanni!!!"
"Go, Gym Leader Giovanni! We're all rooting for you!"
"If anyone must complete our invincible Kanto Elite Four, it can only be Gym Leader Giovanni!"
"Gym Leader Giovanni! Will he win?!"
"It's tough, you know. Elite Lorelei specializes in Ice-type, which counters Gym Leader Giovanni's Ground-type."
The entire venue immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers, shaking the entire arena as if it were trembling slightly.
This showed how great Gym Leader Giovanni's influence was in the Kanto region.
After all, a Gym Leader's Elite Four Challenge is actually very rare, and as the most popular Gym Leader in Kanto, Gym Leader Giovanni truly had many supporters.
"This world is really too crazy."
In the ordinary spectator stands, Archer, disguised, couldn't help but rub his forehead. He never expected that,
His former boss of Team Rockets would actually undertake the Elite Four Challenge. Is he going to become a high-ranking official of the Kanto League?
Archer was truly finding it hard to cope.
"Hey~ What's that? Look over there."
Lance patted Archer's shoulder, pointing to the VIP seats in front.
That's right, Lance was also there. Originally, he was coordinating the company in Unova, but when he learned that Gym Leader Giovanni was going to undertake the Elite Four Challenge, he flew back to Kanto overnight.
Are you kidding? How could he miss such a big event?
Archer looked towards the VIP seats upon hearing this, his expression incredibly strange.
He saw a handsome young man with green hair, wearing a white cloak, who was none other than the former Hoenn Champion, Wallace.
"Mr. Giovanni! Go for it!"
Wallace raised his hands high, cheering madly for Gym Leader Giovanni on the field.
He looked completely like a loyal fan, making Archer extremely uncomfortable.
This... Is this right?
