Chapter 842: Top-tier Enjoyment

Team Rocket...

Out of disgust for the villainous organization, All Baimu suddenly had some small thoughts.

In his view, even if Alolan Meowth joined Team Rocket, it wouldn't have any impact on the main plot of Sun and Moon, but it would be good to have one less smart Pokémon in Team Rocket.

Childhood filter?

This thing only applied to Jessie, James, and Meowth, and had nothing to do with the notorious Team Rocket.

If it weren't for the fact that Master Lidi had mentioned before that the International Police headquarters had other plans, All Baimu might have turned around, found Mewtwo in some corner of the world with Hoopa, and gone to play happily with Giovanni.

But thinking about it carefully.

Alolan Meowth should have contacted Giovanni, who was far away in Kanto, with Jessie and James.

Its initial goal might have been to deceive these two idiots so it could live happily here for a while.

Now it had mostly been replaced by replacing that Persian, becoming the Meowth-above-Meowth enjoying the luxury and extravagance brought by Giovanni.

Not easy to deal with!

In the current situation, even if he found it a good home, it had a high probability of stealing that family's money and running to the Team Rocket headquarters in the Kanto region to recommend itself.

For no other reason.

The smarter the creature, the stronger its self-awareness.

Like Dragapult when it was first caught, it would hide all day and only show its head slightly when eating; even after it became obedient, there were strange situations where it would be so depressed after losing a match that it would run away from home.

Simply put, it was stubborn.

Alolan Meowth really thought that by relying on its own intelligence, it could successfully replace the Persian on Giovanni's lap and gain the favor of that adult.

Therefore, it couldn't wait to send itself to the door.

Painting a big pie for itself...

Understandable.

After all, being willful and arrogant was the common personality of Alolan Meowth; these cats once lived with the royal family of the Alola region.

Thinking about it this way, being able to cultivate an Alolan Meowth that tended to be pampered to the point of being able to actively take care of novice Trainers, Nanu should be a Pokémon Breeder rather than a police officer and Island Kahuna.

Huh?

Seems like there's a way!

All Baimu looked at Alolan Meowth, which showed a fawning smile amidst its elegance, and a flash of inspiration crossed his mind.

Beside him.

James and Jessie didn't dare to breathe, exchanged glances, and looked at Meowth together.

They understood that it was Meowth who led All Baimu here.

Led him here for what?

"Meowth—"

"Hmph!"

Meowth looked at them haughtily, waiting for All Baimu to preside over justice for it.

Alolan Meowth was calm on the surface but nervous to the point of exploding.

"Meow~"

It was very smart and knew that its little tricks were hard to hide from the human in front of it, so it didn't dare to act as unscrupulously as it did in front of Jessie and James.

Using the same method on everyone was something only a stupid cat would do.

All Baimu had already made a decision, and a smile appeared on his face that made Alolan Meowth's little heart thump.

He said bluntly: "You've been deceived."

"Deceived?"

Jessie and James looked at each other.

They could ignore Meowth's words as jealousy, but not All Baimu's.

Jessie gathered her courage and said: "Meowth must have told you something, right? Hey! Don't listen to its nonsense! We just wanted it to offer advice for our Pikachu capture operation—woo woo woo!"

Her mouth was hurriedly covered by James, who warned repeatedly: "Shh! Shh! Idiot! How can you say that!"

Hearing this, Meowth jumped up indignantly and shouted hoarsely: "Jessie! What are you saying, meow! Where is this guy useful! All Baimu is right! You've all been blinded by it, meow!"

Meowth suddenly regarded Alolan Meowth as the enemy of its life, denying everything about the latter.

Facts?

Facts didn't matter!

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to it.

All Baimu looked at Alolan Meowth with a smile and said: "Do you really want to hang out with them?"

"... Meow."

Alolan Meowth's heart was in chaos; its signature move, "Fake Out," had no effect in front of this human.

Tell the truth?

Absolutely impossible!

It knew very well that if it told the truth, the two idiots beside it would also come to trouble it, so it hesitated for a while.

But Alolan Meowth quickly realized that its hesitation would cause problems, and when it looked up, it indeed saw All Baimu smiling but not smiling.

It nodded hurriedly, but its expression became even worse.

It's all over now!

Should have used "didn't understand" to prevaricate!

Meowth, who was staring at it all the time, couldn't wait to shout: "Look, meow! It hesitated! It hesitated, meow!"

It was just that Jessie and James seemed particularly dull; they cared more about All Baimu ignoring the plan to capture Pikachu, and the smart, capable filter Alolan Meowth gave them hadn't been broken yet.

The two naturally thought that All Baimu had influenced Alolan Meowth, which led to its slow response.

They had discussed it for a whole day!

How could Alolan Meowth not want to hang out with them! They were so promising!

Jessie and James were particularly confident.

"Hehe."

All Baimu was completely convinced by these two idiots, but it didn't matter; Alolan Meowth had already revealed a flaw, and as smart as it was, it should take the next step on its own.

The smarter the Pokémon, the more it was used to taking the initiative.

Especially in a crisis.

Just as he was trying to put a little more pressure on Alolan Meowth, Bewear's cry came from the ladder, followed by a "pop," and it popped its head out.

"Goo-goo?"

"Yeah! I'm back—"

All Baimu responded half-turned, and at this moment, Alolan Meowth leaped toward the high wall and flew toward the skylight at the top!

Its speed was so fast that it left only a residual image, and it was about to break through the glass and regain its freedom in the blink of an eye.

Unfortunately.

Still not fast enough.

The Shiny Gengar in All Baimu's shadow had long been watching it, and as it climbed the wall, it suddenly popped its head out and shot two pitch-black beams of light.

【Mean Look】!

The shame of letting Guzzlord go had made Gengar practice Mean Look diligently for the past two days.

Heh! Want to escape?

"Meow-ow!"

Alolan Meowth's body was shrouded in black light, and its hands and feet were instantly stiffened on the inner wall of the tree trunk.

Seeing this, Meowth shouted again, "Look, Jessie! James! That guy's trick was exposed by All Baimu, and it's preparing to escape!"

The two then woke up like a dream.

"We were deceived? What was it preparing to deceive us of? Money?"

Jessie touched her pocket and pulled out nothing.

James, who had Mareanie on his shoulder, also didn't understand; they didn't have anything worth deceiving.

Instead, Meowth suddenly shouted, ran to a corner to touch it, and felt relieved.

"Fortunately, fortunately, Meowth's private stash is still there..."

It actually didn't figure out Alolan Meowth's purpose either; it was just that its status was threatened, so it opposed for the sake of opposing.

All Baimu squatted next to Bewear, touched its bear ears, and said: "I'll leave after dinner."

"Goo-goo!"

Bewear was very happy to hear this, left the passage with a "pop," and went to prepare the ingredients for dinner.

At the same moment.

Gengar also caught Alolan Meowth.

"Meow~"

It landed on the ground, forcibly maintaining a bit of elegance.

Although it liked to play tricks, it was also an arrogant Pokémon with dignity.

All Baimu smiled and explained: "It didn't plot anything against you; it might have had thoughts before, but now it just wants to step on you to get ahead and go to headquarters to enjoy its cat life."

"Haah!?"

Jessie, James, and Meowth looked shocked, and Alolan Meowth's pupils shook even more.

Plan exposed?

How is that possible!

Does he know mind reading?

Seeing the Team Rocket trio look at it, Alolan Meowth sighed, helplessly spread its paws, and indicated that yes, that was it, "Meowth~ Meow-ow~"

Since things had come to this, there was no point in pretending anymore.

Acting is tiring.

It took the initiative to explain its thoughts, just like villainous characters often do.

"You guy!!"

The Team Rocket trio felt furious, especially Jessie and Meowth; one thought Alolan Meowth had taken a fancy to secretary Matori and not her, and the other couldn't believe Alolan Meowth dared to covet the position of Persian.

That was its goal!

James wasn't as angry, but was also extremely dissatisfied with becoming a stepping stone.

"Want to go to headquarters? Keep dreaming!"

"Absolutely won't let you succeed!"

"Giovanni's knee is Meowth's! Don't even think about it, meow!"

The Team Rocket trio stood together, and Meowth also forgot the unpleasantness that happened before, preparing to work together to stop Alolan Meowth from going to headquarters.

Alolan Meowth couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them; after the truth was revealed, it didn't pretend anymore and looked up at All Baimu.

"Meow?"

It could see that the human in front of it was not in the same group as those three idiots, and didn't seem to be a superior either.

Then why interfere?

It didn't understand and wanted to know the reason.

All Baimu smiled and replied: "Of course, it's an eyesore."

Alolan Meowth pointed at itself in surprise: "Meow?"

"No, no, no, it's Team Rocket behind them, and that middle-aged uncle you saw." He shook his head and stated his disgust for Team Rocket in front of them.

The Team Rocket trio had no dissatisfaction, just hiding in the corner and shivering.

After listening, Alolan Meowth helplessly held its forehead.

"Meow..."

It calculated everything but didn't calculate this; it hadn't joined yet, and it was already targeted by the hostile force.

All Baimu picked it up and said: "Don't worry, I'll arrange a good place for you, with many playmates, plenty of food, and freedom."

"Meow."

Alolan Meowth's hands and feet hung down, its calm eyes carrying a touch of frustration, and it really didn't have any expectations.

A good place?

Heh.

——

A good place?

Isn't this it!

Alolan Meowth looked at the food piled up in front of it, swallowed a mouthful, and its eyes shone like stars.

It felt that it was not a gluttonous Pokémon, and what it wanted at the beginning was just a living environment with plenty of food, cleanliness, and tidiness.

It never thought that one day it would encounter a delicacy that would sublimate its soul!

"Meow~"

"Hmph! Country cat who has never seen the world!"

Meowth stuffed its cheeks full, stuffed until it looked like a greedy Skwovet, but still had to mock Alolan Meowth.

James and Jessie beside them couldn't care about talking; if they said one more word, they would eat one less bite, and Mimikyu, Mareanie, and Stufful were the same.

Seriously.

Every time All Baimu came to find Bewear for dinner, it was a major event comparable to "the imperial court issuing disaster relief food" for the Team Rocket trio.

Even if James activated the rich young master mode, he thought All Baimu's craftsmanship was impeccable.

Even he thought so.

Not to mention Alolan Meowth, who had lived in the wild since childhood.

"Meow..."

Alolan Meowth didn't pay attention to Team Rocket's Meowth and turned to look at the other group of Pokémon sitting beside it.

Too clean.

Not just appearance, but spirit!

Compared with them, itself, those three idiots, and even Bewear and its child all revealed a savage taste.

When eating, they were also slow and methodical, not wolfing down food like this side.

Especially the Mawile with the red headband and the Milotic with different colors among them.

That temperament!

The elegance it longed for!

True elegance!

Alolan Meowth found that it didn't need to look far for what it wanted; a life of wealth and honor was clearly within reach!

It resisted the urge to eat, got up, and went to fawn over All Baimu, who was cooking.

Unexpectedly, Blissey suddenly appeared holding a plate full of hot dishes, and after distributing them, asked it what it needed with great concern.

"Happy?"

"Meow..."

Alolan Meowth smelled the pleasant scent on Blissey, saw its excellent hair condition, and those bright eyes.

It looked down at its rough paws again, and its matted, dry, and smelly hair that it tried hard to clean but still knotted.

The autumn wind was silent.

The smart Alolan Meowth sat down inferiorly, maintained the little elegance it had left, and waved its paws with a smile to indicate that it didn't need help.

It also had its dignity!

Hearing this, Blissey friendly indicated that it could call it anytime if it needed anything, and turned to help its Trainer happily.

And All Baimu, after finishing the last dish prepared for Bewear, also joined the dinner, leaning against the soft Bewear with a comfortable expression.

There were so many Pokémon at home, not many could be leaned against comfortably.

Still had to be Bewear!

"Goo-goo~"

"Eat, eat."

He smiled and stuffed things into Bewear's mouth, glancing at Alolan Meowth from the corner of his eye; this meal tonight would be a send-off for this cat.

Heaven knows what Nanu's Pokémon cultivation looks like.

Night.

To avoid Alolan Meowth escaping, he naturally took it back to the beach house, and as usual, it was secretly watched by Dragapult.

And because this cat was dirty, he, who was idle and had a bit of cleanliness, forcibly gave Alolan Meowth a bath.

Unexpectedly, Alolan Meowth didn't struggle much.

Aren't cats supposed to be afraid of water?

It was too cooperative, so All Baimu habitually did a hair treatment for it, even cleaned its ear canal dirt, cared for its paw pads, trimmed its claws, and even waxed the gold coin on its forehead.

After such a series of operations, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Not worse than the beautician at the beauty salon, right?"

All Baimu asked Mawile and Blissey; Blissey was very supportive and clapped and praised him frantically, but Mawile rolled its eyes.

"Mawile~"

Beauty salons are different!

In Mawile's heart, no matter how well the Trainer does, there is a difference from the beauty salon, even if it can't say what the difference is.

Beauty salon...

Alolan Meowth was served like this for the first time, truly experiencing elegance, and the whole cat became confident; but even so, in the mouth of that Mawile, it still couldn't compare to the beauty salon.

Feeling like it was in an earthly paradise, it developed a yearning for this thing.

At the same time.

It also strengthened its determination to stay.

This is the life it should live!

Top-tier chef! Top-tier hair care! Top-tier living environment! And incense that makes it feel relaxed and happy!

Alolan Meowth looked at Mawile, who was wrapped in many dolls, focused on watching TV, had snacks when hungry and drinks when thirsty, and was served by people, and finally understood what life was. ===== CHAPTER 843 =====
