"Mr. Mamon, it is said that during the Great Battle of Saffron City, the Team Rocket organization you led defeated many Champions including Lance, Steven, Wallace, and Leon. They were beaten so badly they were hospitalized for half a month. What are your thoughts on this?"
A reporter interviewed the Team Rocket leader, Mamon.
"That is entirely a rumor. They clearly only needed one week to recover."
"It is also said that you forcibly took Champion Cynthia during the battle. The citizens of the Sinnoh region are very dissatisfied and hope you will return her. How do you respond?" the reporter continued.
"Nonsense. We are in love. It is not their place to object," Mamon smiled.
"By the way, Cynthia is currently focused on her pregnancy. She will not consider becoming the Sinnoh Champion again for the time being. Thank you."

**Chapter 1: I Could Do Better Than This Runner-Up**
The Indigo Plateau. The Indigo Stadium was packed with people.
The host stood on the high platform. His face was flushed with excitement as he shouted into the microphone.
"Heavens! I cannot believe it! The Ninetales of contestant Boruto has fallen! That was his final Pokémon!
Let us congratulate contestant Mamon! He used only a single Annihilape to successfully defeat all six of Boruto's Pokémon. He has won the championship of this Indigo Conference!"
As the host finished speaking, the entire venue erupted in thunderous cheers.
"So powerful! You are too strong, Mamon! Ahhhh! Mamon!"
"My husband is simply too aggressive! Heavens! He swept the entire team in the finals!"
"This is the least challenging episode ever. It is hilarious. I could do better than that runner-up. Either way, it is just getting swept six to zero."
"I knew it. The son of Gym Leader Giovanni is naturally a leader among men! Our Great Kanto has added another powerful warrior!"
The scene was extremely boisterous. The youth on the field was simply too dazzling.
He had only just started his journey this year. However, he had shown incredible dominance throughout the Indigo Conference. He had essentially swept every opponent he faced.
He had fought through the entire tournament using only an Annihilape!
Without exception, every opponent was easily defeated by that powerful Annihilape. The finals were no different.
Mamon was the focus of the entire stadium. The youth dressed in black let out a bored yawn. He kept his hands in his pockets. He did not even look at his opponent.
His casual and dismissive attitude appeared free and easy to the audience.
This was always their impression of Mamon.
It was normal for such an outstanding genius to have a bit of personality.
'Tsk. A third-rate trainer with fourth-rate Pokémon actually managed to reach the finals. Truly weak.'
Mamon glanced at his opponent. The boy was crying on the ground in despair. Mamon clicked his tongue.
It was too weak. It was so weak that he could not even get excited.
He did not expect the quality of the Indigo Conference to be this low. He had actually held a small amount of expectation for this event before his journey.
This was just a "baby cup" for bullying rookies. It was truly boring.
Becoming the Champion of the Indigo Conference was not something worth bragging about for Mamon. It was not the same as becoming the Kanto Champion.
This was especially true since his opponent in the finals was so unskilled.
After the award ceremony ended, Mamon left the Indigo Plateau. He ended his journey in Kanto in a way that was not quite "perfect." Mamon felt he should now focus his attention on "work."
...
Viridian City. It was also known as the City of Evergreen. This was a city where flowers bloomed in all four seasons. The so-called "Evergreen" referred to the eternal color of green.
The city was filled with greenery and flowers. The people here loved nature.
Among all the cities in the Kanto region, Viridian City was very unique.
The Viridian Gym was one of the official gyms of the Kanto region. The Gym Leader was Giovanni, who specialized in the Ground-type. It was currently the most highly-rated official gym in Kanto.
Why was that?
Pewter Gym and Cerulean Gym were in a state of decline. The Gym Leader of Vermilion Gym was a bit too heavy-handed.
Saffron Gym was said to be inhabited by monsters. The Gym Leader of Celadon Gym loved to sleep and could not be woken up.
Fuchsia Gym... according to challengers, their personal safety could not be guaranteed after entering.
Cinnabar Gym... did that gym even exist? Was it not just a gym that lived on the official website?
Among this group of "monsters and demons," the Viridian Gym stood out. Although it occasionally closed because the leader went out to train, it felt exceptionally refined.
Furthermore, Giovanni had a mature and steady personality. His strength was also outstanding. Despite specializing in Ground-types, he never kept his knowledge to himself. He had written a book called "The Secrets of the Earth" that was widely circulated.
This master-like demeanor earned the respect and admiration of many trainers.
The Viridian Gym naturally received rave reviews. People even called Giovanni the strongest Gym Leader in the Kanto region.
However, no one knew the true face of this excellent Gym Leader.
"Father, I am back."
Mamon pushed open the office door. He walked to the sofa with practiced ease and lay down.
"Traveling for so long is truly exhausting. Matori, come and give me a massage."
"The distance from the Indigo Plateau to Viridian City is not that far."
Giovanni had a clean-cut buzz cut. He let out a short laugh. He was helpless against the laziness of his precious son.
Matori, the secretary of Giovanni, walked behind Mamon. She gently massaged his shoulders.
"How does it feel to win the Indigo Conference?" Giovanni stood up and sat at the coffee table.
"I truly did not expect the quality of the Indigo Conference to be so poor." Mamon looked down on those "competitors."
"It is because your strength is too high, Young Master." Matori's voice was cold. However, the way she looked at Mamon was very subtle.
"I told you before. With your level, there would be no challenge in the Indigo Conference," Giovanni said with a faint smile.
As the Leader of the Viridian Gym, he naturally understood the skill level of this year's contestants. After all, some of those contestants had received badges from him.
It was only natural for the son he had raised since childhood to defeat those trash trainers.
This was his most proud and beloved son. Giovanni had never doubted this point.
Mamon had been labeled as intelligent and gifted since he was a child. He was mature and never caused Giovanni any worry.
Furthermore, Mamon's talent as a trainer had surprised Giovanni immensely. Mamon had also been chosen by the Viridian Forest to possess the Viridian Power.
Giovanni believed Mamon would have a brilliant future. He would definitely surpass him!
He had always loved and pampered Mamon. This was especially true after that specific incident.
However, as Mamon grew older, he seemed to have turned out a bit... crooked.
For example, last year, Giovanni asked Mamon to temporarily act as the Viridian Gym Leader. Giovanni had to go out to handle organizational affairs.
When he returned that evening, he heard a certain sound coming from his office involving his son and his secretary...
Who knew what Giovanni was feeling at that moment?
His mind went blank. It felt as if ten thousand Tauros were charging through his heart!
With a very complicated mood, Giovanni went to the restroom. He rarely smoked, but he lit a cigarette.
That is right. He did not disturb his son and the secretary. He chose to remain silent.
Heavens! This was the greatness of paternal love!
But that was only the beginning. There were things that made Giovanni even more speechless later on.
**Chapter 2: Aren't the Dark Organizations in Other Regions Just Trash?**
In Mamon's own words, since he had come to this world, a life without a journey would be incomplete.
Giovanni pampered Mamon and felt this made sense. Studying behind closed doors had its limitations. Thus, he personally saw Mamon out of Viridian City.
Then...
About five months after Mamon left for his journey, at the Viridian Gym.
"Mamon sent you here?"
Giovanni looked at the pure-looking girl with black hair with a hidden, scrutinizing gaze.
The girl was very cute and fair. Of course, that was not the point. The point was that she claimed Mamon had recommended her to find him at the Viridian Gym.
"Yes. Hello, Uncle Giovanni. My name is Mizuki. Because I am not old enough to start a journey yet, Mamon said I should stay by your side to learn for a while." The girl spoke bashfully.
Why was she blushing while speaking? And...
Giovanni frowned slightly. He observed the girl more closely.
Did this mean he was supposed to teach and raise this girl? What was Mamon thinking?
Actually, this was not a difficult task. It was just taking on a gym apprentice.
However, Giovanni did not really want an unfamiliar person following him. His true identity could not be exposed to the light.
What if something happened?
"What is your relationship with Ma—"
Giovanni paused. He used his magnetic voice to ask about her relationship with Mamon.
"Oh, Mamon also said that if I become pregnant with a baby, I should give birth here at your place."
The girl named Mizuki spoke even more softly. Her ears turned red from shyness.
Upon hearing Mizuki's words, the Boss of Team Rocket and the Source of Darkness in Kanto felt his world shake.
He was completely stunned. He stood frozen on the spot.
After a long time.
Giovanni: "...What?"
...
The memory ended there. Giovanni looked at his son. Mamon had his legs on the coffee table while enjoying the service of Matori. Giovanni rubbed his temples in frustration.
The little Mamon who was fair, cute, and obedient like a porcelain doll was long gone.
"Mamon, what are your plans next?" Giovanni asked.
He had never hidden anything from Mamon. He had never planned a specific path for him.
He respected Mamon. This was his most beloved son. This was especially true after the incident ten years ago.
"Of course I have plans! That is exactly what I wanted to talk to you about, Father."
Mamon raised his hand to signal Matori to stop. He sat up and faced Giovanni.
"Father, what do you think of the current Team Rocket in the Kanto region?" Mamon's lips curled into a smile as he asked.
"You can speak directly."
Giovanni poured himself a cup of tea. He lifted the cup and took a sip.
"Then let me put it another way. Is there still room for Team Rocket to grow in the Kanto region?"
Hearing Mamon's words, Giovanni immediately understood his meaning. Not only Giovanni, but Matori also understood.
As the strongest evil organization in the underground world of Kanto, Team Rocket had already reached its limit on this land.
"Young Master, do you mean the organization should expand to other regions?" Matori pushed up her glasses and spoke with a frown.
As Giovanni's secretary, although Matori did not have much talent as a trainer, she was very smart. Otherwise, Giovanni would not have kept her by his side.
