"Team Rocket is not an organization that you can enter and leave as you please. Do you understand, Gladion? If you have sufficient resolve, Team Rocket welcomes you."

"However, if you dare to betray the organization in the future, the consequences will be..."

Mamon did not finish his sentence. He simply smiled at Gladion.

'Gladion is a youth with a lot of potential. I do not doubt this. Whether in the games or the anime, his strength eventually becomes very high.'

'One could say that among the locals of the Alola region, Gladion has the highest potential. The only other person who compares is Hau, the grandson of Hala. As for Mizuki? She is not an Alola native. She moved here from Kanto.'

'Furthermore, Gladion possesses [Type: Null]. This is a Legendary Pokemon created by the Aether Foundation specifically to counter Ultra Beasts. Once it evolves into Silvally, its combat power will be immense.'

Gladion understood Mamon. His hands rested on his legs. They slowly clenched into fists. His heart was in the middle of a violent struggle.

However, he thought of his mother, who was like a nightmare. He thought of his adorable younger sister. Gladion gritted his teeth.

"I... want to become stronger!"

Gladion spoke one word at a time.

"I want to get stronger! As long as you can make me stronger, I will join you! I will never regret it!"

Gladion looked up at Mamon. His voice was heavy.

Yes, this was Gladion. He had escaped from Aether Paradise specifically to become stronger. He wanted to escape the control of Lusamine. He wanted to protect his younger sister.

"Of course. That is not a problem at all, Gladion. I welcome your arrival."

Mamon revealed a bright smile. He stood up and reached out his hand to Gladion. He was welcoming his new colleague.

'Very good. Team Rocket has added another powerful general to its ranks!'

Gladion stood up. He silently shook hands with Mamon.

He had made his choice. He did not yet know if this decision was correct.

"Trust me, Gladion. Team Rocket will give you the best stage. We will provide the best resources and Pokemon. Of course, you must earn them yourself."

Mamon smiled.

"I think highly of you. However, you have not earned any merit yet. You will start from the grassroots level. You need the experience, do you not?"

"That is fine. However..."

Gladion hesitated for a moment.

"If you have a problem, you can speak directly."

"I will not steal Pokemon from random passersby."

Gladion stated his requirement. He had the resolve to enter the darkness, but he still had a bottom line.

"Do not worry. We are not Team Skull. we have long since discarded such trash," Mamon said casually.

Gladion felt relieved.

"Next, you will follow Plumeria. Someone is already cleaning up the Hunter Organization on Melemele Island. However, the work on the other three islands has not started yet."

"If you work hard, you will rise quickly."

Mamon walked over. He patted Gladion on the shoulder and laughed.

"Power, wealth, status, and Pokemon. As long as you do well, you will have all of these."

"I only want to become stronger," Gladion said plainly.

"Of course. But becoming strong requires excellent Pokemon. If you have enough merit, you can apply to the organization to exchange for Pokemon with superior talent."

Mamon spoke with an indifferent tone.

"The organization has professional Pokemon breeding bases and farms. Excellent Breeders manage and cultivate a large number of young Pokemon there. There is no shortage of rare Pokemon and pseudo-legendary infants from various regions."

"Gladion, if you want to become strong and climb to the peak, talented Pokemon are necessary. They can save you from taking many detours."

Mamon reminded Gladion.

Gladion looked thoughtful. He nodded to show he understood.

"Come. I will show you the highest tier of rewards in the organization."

Mamon took out a tablet. He clicked into the Team Rocket [App] and opened the exchange page.

Gladion was shocked. Was Team Rocket this modern?

They even had a dedicated [App]?

**Chapter 19: For the Sake of Phione!**

"Your gaze is a bit impolite."

Mamon noticed Gladion's eyes. He raised an eyebrow.

"Do not look down on our evil organization. We are also at the forefront of the era. I hired a high-end researcher to create this [App]. Its functions are very complete."

Mamon spoke with pride. This was his suggestion. This way, Team Rocket members could turn in missions at any time even when they were outside.

"I also plan to add a group chat function to this [App]. That way, the Senior Executives of Team Rocket can communicate and share their experiences. In the future, simple meetings can be solved through video calls. We will not need to travel long distances."

"Gladion, you must work hard. I believe that with your ability, you will soon be promoted to a Senior Executive."

Mamon patted Gladion on the shoulder and smiled.

"..." Gladion did not know what to say for a moment.

He felt that there was a subtle difference between Team Rocket and the version in his imagination.

Did he not come here to join an evil organization? Why did it feel like he was joining a company to work?

"Right. Look at this. These are some of the best Pokemon currently in the organization."

Mamon slid the exchange interface to the bottom. He spoke to Gladion.

Gladion looked over with great interest.

[Pseudo-Legendary: Dratini - Ability: Shed Skin - Cost: 50,000 Points]

[Pseudo-Legendary: Dratini - Ability: Marvel Scale - Cost: 50,000 Points]

[Pseudo-Legendary: Larvitar - Ability: Guts - Cost: 50,000 Points]

[Pseudo-Legendary: Jangmo-o - Ability: Overcoat - Cost: 50,000 Points]

[Mythical Pokemon: Phione - Ability: Hydration - Cost: 100,000 Points]

Gladion's eyes grew hot. Pseudo-legendary Pokemon were also known as 'Late-blooming Pokemon.' They were extremely rare and precious.

Although the cultivation process was much longer than normal Pokemon, it was completely worth it once they reached their final form!

Pseudo-legendary Pokemon with superior talent were even harder to find. In Team Rocket, one could exchange for them directly as long as they had enough [Points].

Most importantly...

"The Mythical Pokemon [Phione]?! Is this real?"

Gladion's gaze froze on the last line. A Mythical Pokemon!

Legendary and Mythical Pokemon were the most precious Pokemon. There was no competition!

What was a legend? It meant they almost only existed in stories. Very few people had ever actually seen them.

Team Rocket was actually offering a Mythical Pokemon as a reward? This was far too generous.

"Of course it is real. [Phione] is currently being raised at the farm in Kanto." Mamon looked at the picture of [Phione]. His expression was a bit strange.

He had encountered this [Phione] by chance.

That time, he went to Cinnabar Island to soak in the hot springs. When he went out to sea, he happened to see this [Phione] enjoying the sunlight. He caught it conveniently.

The only regret was that this was a [Phione] and not a [Manaphy]. Of course, if it were a [Manaphy], Mamon probably would not have been able to catch it. [Manaphy] actually had real skills.

In terms of the game, [Phione] was the offspring of [Manaphy] and [Ditto]. Furthermore, [Phione] could not evolve into [Manaphy].

Do not ask how [Manaphy] could breed when it had no gender. That was simply how the game worked.

Lugia also had no gender. Yet the anime showed a mother Lugia and a baby Lugia.

It was also worth mentioning that although [Phione] was a Mythical Pokemon, its [Base Stats] were only 480 points. That was right. It was not even as high as a fully evolved starter Pokemon.

'[Phione] is arguably the weakest of all Legendary and Mythical Pokemon. There is no contest.'

Finally, it was worth noting that if [Manaphy] was the 'Prince of the Sea,' then [Phione]...

It was the 'Commoner of the Sea.'

But even as a commoner, [Phione] was still a Mythical Pokemon. This did not stop Mamon from using the title of Mythical Pokemon to motivate his subordinates!

Think about it. As long as you work more overtime and accumulate [Points], you can exchange for a legendary Mythical Pokemon!

Would that not create motivation?

"!!!" Gladion's eyes instantly became fiery.

This was a legendary Mythical Pokemon. If he could obtain it, would his path to being invincible not begin?

At that time, he could stand in front of Lusamine. He would proudly raise his head and say: "I do not eat beef!" (I will bow to no one!).

"This is only the current reward list. More excellent Pokemon will be added in the future. Do not only look at what is here now."

Mamon looked at Gladion's excited state. He was afraid Gladion only cared about [Phione].

He was not lying. They had not found the habitats for pseudo-legendaries in other regions yet. However, Team Rocket had already discovered the location of the three Legendary Birds of Kanto.

At that time, Giovanni would send the three executives to capture them separately.

Although Team Rocket had discarded genetic experiments and would not create a 'Three-Bird Fusion,' the wild Legendary Birds were still Legendary Pokemon.

Giovanni felt they could not be missed. They had spent so much manpower and resources to find them. They could not let the opportunity go to waste.

Mamon felt this was necessary. Using [Phione] as the top reward... it was a bit like deceptive advertising.

Would it not be much better to replace it with [Moltres]?

"I understand! Do not worry, Young Lord. I will work hard!"

For the sake of this [Phione]!

Gladion replied to Mamon with a serious face. He felt full of energy.

An organization like Team Rocket that could make him stronger was exactly where he should be.

He had to protect Lillie!

"Very good! You have a great spirit!"

Mamon felt gratified. He patted Gladion on the shoulder.

However, gathering 100,000 [Points] was not easy. For example, Archer currently had the most merit in the organization. He only had about 80,000 [Points].

Clearing a stronghold of the Hunter Organization would earn between 100 to 1,000 [Points]. It depended on the size of the base.

Furthermore, Gladion was not the only one eyeing [Phione]. That fellow Proton also seemed to be very fond of [Phione].

"Plumeria. Take Gladion to Akala Island next. Resolve the Hunter Organization there as quickly as possible."

Mamon gave orders to Plumeria.

"Yes, Young Lord."

Plumeria nodded. Compared to recruiting people, she was more interested in clearing out the Hunter Organization.

"Fine. I will leave first. You two should depart once you are ready."

Mamon turned and left. He had only come to 'interview' Gladion. He was very satisfied with the result.

Team Rocket in Alola was flourishing!

**Chapter 20**

In the blink of any eye, the day of the Entertainment City's opening arrived.

Guzma was the boss of the Entertainment City. He rarely wore formal clothes, but today he wore a suit. He did not seem very comfortable in it.

Even though he had changed into a suit, Guzma's face was still fierce. He looked like someone who was not to be trifled with. He still possessed the thick aura of a villain.

This was likely something he could never change in his lifetime.
