Mamon smiled when he heard those words.
"Our organization just arrived in Alola. We have a mountain of tasks to handle."
Mamon spoke in a flat tone.
"Currently, we have not even fully digested our Alola territory. We do not have enough manpower."
"President Lusamine, we are very willing to establish a good partnership. However, it is not realistic for us to spare people to find two individuals for you right now."
Mamon tilted his head slightly as he looked at Lusamine.
"Furthermore, Team Rocket is a dark organization. Finding people is not our specialty. You should hire a private detective instead."
Lusamine stared deeply at the young man who appeared lazy and unrestrained.
"These two people are very important to me. Please have your organization help. There will be a great reward afterward."
Mamon spoke with many excuses, but Lusamine did not believe him.
If Team Rocket truly intended to help, it was impossible that they could not find the manpower. He was simply asking for benefits.
After all, Mamon originally said it was 'difficult to handle,' not 'impossible to do.'
"I see. Since President Lusamine is so sincere."
The corners of Mamon's mouth slowly curled up. He gave a signal to Caitlin.
Caitlin took out a set of materials prepared in advance. She elegantly handed them to Lusamine.
He even prepared the conditions in advance?
Lusamine controlled her facial expressions. She took the materials and frowned after reading a few lines.
"Please purchase these real estate properties, President Lusamine. Then, transfer them to us. Is that acceptable?" Mamon spoke with a smile.
Proton had been troubled by this issue. The Alola locals were unwilling to sell land to him. They would not even rent much to him.
However, if it were Lusamine, there would be no such problem. She was a local of Alola and had an excellent reputation.
Of course, the prerequisite was that Lusamine had to be willing.
"Mr. Mamon, is this not a bit excessive?" Lusamine looked up at Mamon. Her gaze was as sharp as a blade.
"There are so many properties. No matter how discreetly I operate, interested parties will easily notice. Where does that leave the Aether Foundation?"
Lusamine's tone carried a hint of coldness.
Buying real estate and transferring it to Team Rocket was not difficult. The difficulty was doing it without anyone knowing.
Once the outside world discovered that the Aether Foundation was in league with Team Rocket, the image she had worked hard to maintain for years would completely collapse.
But Mamon was not in a hurry at all.
"If President Lusamine finds it difficult, we can take it slow. There is no need to buy everything at once. As for the money for the properties, we will provide it."
Mamon smiled at Lusamine.
"Of course, if President Lusamine is unwilling, we will not force the matter."
Lusamine's expression remained calm, but she was extremely angry inside. This Team Rocket youth was pushing her too far!
Her pupils gradually lost their highlights. Lusamine's hollow eyes were enough to give anyone goosebumps.
This was a physiological habit of Lusamine. When her mind leaned toward obsession, her pupils would change.
"You must help me find these two children." Lusamine spoke with a cold tone.
These words meant she had agreed.
Compared to Cosmog, she was willing to bear this small risk!
"Of course. It is a pleasure to cooperate, President Lusamine."
Mamon's smile deepened. It was very interesting to see the high and mighty Lusamine in this state. She was very unhappy but had to bow her head.
After a few more brief words, Lusamine left under the excuse of having business to handle.
'Once a person has a weakness, they truly are easy to manipulate.'
Mamon leaned back lazily in his chair. He took a sip of red wine.
How should he put it?
If she were not desperate to find Lillie and Nebby, Lusamine would never have agreed to such conditions.
"These two people should be the children of President Lusamine, correct?"
Caitlin looked at the photos. It was easy to guess the relationship between them.
After all, both Gladion and Lillie looked somewhat similar to Lusamine.
But that made it even stranger.
They were blood relatives, yet Lusamine had to risk working with a dark organization like Team Rocket to find her own children.
"Also... Mamon, Gladion is a member of the organization, is he not?"
Caitlin looked at Mamon. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. She had never met Gladion, but Mamon had mentioned him when contacting Plumeria.
The meticulous Caitlin had remembered it.
"That is correct. Gladion joined the organization a while ago." Mamon nodded.
As for telling Lusamine? Why would he tell her?
As for being dishonest or something similar, it was laughable. Who talks about credit and honesty with a dark organization?
Besides, Mamon would take Gladion to see Lusamine, but not now. The current Lusamine was obsessed with Ultra Space and Ultra Beasts. She was like a person possessed.
The 'special attack' effect of Gladion on the current Lusamine was not significant enough.
Only after Lusamine turned over a new leaf would Lillie and Gladion become the children she cared about deeply.
"Mamon, you are quite the liar."
Caitlin recalled the conversation between Mamon and Lusamine. She could not help but sigh.
However, she did not hate it. Rather, in such a position of power, how could one grow stronger without being a bit cunning?
"When the opportunity arises, we can completely take over the Aether Foundation. At that time, our plans for Alola can take a huge step forward."
Mamon's eyes flickered. In his plan, Lusamine was a person who had to be controlled. There was no better candidate than her.
Aether Paradise was also a good place.
"Mmm~" (Yes.)
Caitlin's fair and delicate face carried a smile. Her soft response sounded like a gentle hum.
She was quite cute.
Mamon was already thinking about how to use Lillie and Gladion to threaten a restored Lusamine in the future.
Surely, for the sake of her beloved children, this mother would be willing to make sacrifices.
'I call you sister, and you call me father? This is a bit too intense, is it not?'
Mamon whispered to himself. He felt that he was not that kind of person... probably?
"Mamon, did you say something just now?"
Caitlin was confused. Mamon's voice was too quiet for her to hear clearly.
"No. I was thinking about how to take down Lusamine."

**Chapter 24: Nebby Likes You**
There are no Gyms in the Alola region. Instead, there is a traditional ceremony called the Island Challenge.
The Island Challenge involves challengers traveling across four islands. They must break through various trials led by Captains. Finally, they face a Grand Trial against an Island King or Island Queen.
If they pass, the challenge for that island is complete.
Of course, the Island King or Island Queen will hold back. This is a certainty.
Iki Town was known as a place to thank Pokémon.
People who were familiar with Tapu Koko lived here. It was a town that carried ancient traditions.
Similarly, this was the place where Hala, the Island King of Melemele Island, conducted the Grand Trial for challengers.
Iki Town was exceptionally lively today. After a long time, a challenger had finally come to challenge Hala's Grand Trial!
The area around the festival stage in the center of town was crowded. A large number of townspeople had arrived. They wanted to see if this Grand Trial would be successful.
The festival stage was normally used for Tapu Koko festivals, but the Grand Trial was held here as well.
Hala stood on the stage. He had white hair and a beard. He was a sturdy man wearing a large yellow coat. He looked at the young girl walking toward him.
"Mizuki, are you ready?"
"This is a given! Come on, old man! I will win!"
The girl adjusted her precious floral straw hat. She had bright eyes and white teeth. She gave a big smile. Her expression was excited and sharp.
"Ho ho ho... That is a very good expression."
Hala laughed quietly when he felt the girl's intense fighting spirit.
He was the Island King of Melemele Island. He was also the oldest Island King in the Alola region.
He was happy to see a pure and excellent junior Trainer like Mizuki. This child was much more outstanding than his own grandson.
"Then I, Island King Hala, will guide you personally! Challenger!"
Hala's aura suddenly changed. He raised his right hand toward Mizuki. His majestic and solemn presence was striking.
Even if she was an excellent junior, she had to defeat him in this Grand Trial to move forward!
Island King Hala of Melemele Island has come to challenge!
Mizuki's first Grand Trial officially began. Hala was naturally holding back. After all, Hala was a veteran Elite Four level Trainer.
In the game, he was one of the official Alola Elite Four. This showed his strength.
However, this was just a Grand Trial. Hala would not use his full power against a rookie Trainer who had just started her journey.
Even so, defeating Hala was not easy.
However, Mizuki was not an ordinary Trainer!
The onlookers were all excited as they watched the fierce battle on the stage. They cheered loudly when they saw Mizuki's Dragonair defeat Hala's Makuhita.
"Mizuki truly has... monster-level talent!"
Kukui stood in the crowd with his arms crossed. He could not help but sigh. The word 'monster' was a compliment.
He felt that this girl who moved from Kanto was truly amazing.
Her battle experience grew rapidly. Her nurturing talent was outstanding. Her battle instincts were like a monster. It made Kukui feel ashamed.
He considered himself a genius Trainer in the past. But compared to Mizuki, he felt he was quite weak back then.
Look at her. How long has it been? She has already grown to this Level.
"Yes. Mizuki is really amazing." Lillie's fair face carried a bright smile.
"With a junior like this, Alola will surely rise!"
Kukui's heart was full of relief and hope. Although Mizuki was originally from Kanto, what did that matter?
She had moved to Alola, so she was an Alolan!
Once Mizuki fully matured, this 'monster' would surely make the world take notice! Kukui had that much confidence.
It was said that the undefeated Champion Leon of the Galar region reached the peak as soon as he debuted. He defeated all opponents to become the Galar Champion.
But now Alola has General Mizuki. She will not be inferior to Leon!
"Pew!" (Nebby! Do not run around, Nebby!)
Lillie was focusing on the battle on the stage. Suddenly, she noticed her bag moving. The mischievous Nebby had crawled out of the bag again.
Nebby looked around and seemed to determine a location. It wobbled as it floated in that direction.
