Chapter 10: The Rocket Team's New High Executive!

The next morning.

"Welcome to the team, Young Lady Caitlin."

Mamon smiled, looking at Caitlin standing before him.

He had originally woken up this morning wanting to do some morning exercises with Domino, but unexpectedly received Caitlin's phone call.

This was truly a huge surprise; Mamon placed great value on Caitlin.

The potential ceiling of this genius psychic girl was not limited to Elite Four; with proper cultivation, she would certainly become a pillar of the Rocket Team.

Although there were many High Executives in the Rocket Team, in reality, aside from Giovanni and Mamon, there were no other Champion-level trainers.

Therefore, trainers like Caitlin who had the potential to reach Champion level were extremely precious.

"I hope Mr. Mamon will give me your guidance."

Caitlin took Mamon's hand, her clear beautiful eyes gazing at Mamon; she had tossed and turned all night before finally making up her mind.

She still chose to trust this young man; witnessing the dark side of this world would allow her to grow faster!

She must become stronger!

"Of course, from now on, we are intimate companions. Trust me, Young Lady Caitlin; you will absolutely not regret this decision today."

Mamon grinned, then gestured for Caitlin to sit down.

Caitlin remained silent; since she had already made her choice, she would not regret it. Everyone must take responsibility for the decisions they make.

"Mr. Mamon, why is our Rocket Team coming to the Alola region?"

Caitlin sat down gracefully, sliding her hand along her skirt from her hip, and asked Mamon with a puzzled expression.

Caitlin was indeed very smart; she even used "our Rocket Team" to express her current stance.

In fact, Caitlin did not know much about the Rocket Team, only vaguely knowing that such an evil organization existed in the Kanto region.

But what she did know was that the Rocket Team, which could develop under the nose of the League Headquarters, the Kanto League, and rule the Kanto underworld, was certainly extraordinary.

"Development in Kanto has already saturated; the organization also needs to expand outward, and Alola is our first target."

Mamon poured a cup of freshly brewed tea for Caitlin and handed it to her.

"Young Lady Caitlin, please taste this; these are tea leaves I specially asked someone to buy from Galar."

"Thank you, Mr. Mamon; you may address me directly by my name."

Caitlin politely accepted it with both hands; she seemed to understand.

"So we are here in Alola?"

"That's right. To put it crudely, we came to Alola to seize territory. Also, Caitlin, you may address me directly by my name as well."

Mamon took a sip of tea and made a joking remark.

Caitlin blinked her eyes, the corners of her lips rising slightly; she was also very curious about how the so-called "seizing territory" was done.

"Speaking of which, Caitlin, your timing for joining is perfect; today we are just preparing to 'pay a visit' to the local Team Skull."

"I look forward to it."

Caitlin smiled slightly; this was her true feeling, a strange "new world" was gradually revealing its full form to her.

Moreover, this "new world" would be very interesting to her.

"And as a friend, consider this my personal welcome gift for your joining the organization."

Mamon took a shrunk Poké Ball from his pocket and handed it to Caitlin.

To firmly bind Caitlin to the Rocket Team's ship, of course, some effort was still required.

"How can I accept this..."

Caitlin declined.

"No need to be polite; open it and see; you should like it," Mamon said with a smile.

"If you consider me a friend as well, Caitlin, then accept it."

Hearing this, the words Caitlin was about to speak paused; how could she refuse?

"Thank you, Mamon."

Caitlin pressed her lips together, her clear and bright eyes reflecting Mamon's face; a warm current flowed through her heart as she accepted the Poké Ball.

Perhaps... this really was the right decision.

Caitlin opened the Poké Ball; a flash of Bai Guang appeared, and a small blue-pink creature landed on the tea table, emitting a cute soft chirp.

"Mimik?"

The small creature had very long bangs covering its eyes; it had a spherical body, and its most distinctive feature was its tail, which hung downwards with a light blue sphere at the tip, looking overall like a hat worn on the head.

This was indeed the Psychic-type Espurr.

Caitlin looked at the small creature with curiosity; she also recognized it, after all, as someone who specialized in Psychic types, she knew a bit about the Psychic-type Pokémon of various regions.

"This is an Espurr from Galar, a very promising little one; its final evolution is the one known as the 'Forest Witch,' Espurr's evolved form, a Psychic and Fairy-type Pokémon."

Mamon briefly introduced Espurr.

"This Espurr was specially chosen by me; its ability is Magic Bounce, which can deal very well with status moves. If you had used Espurr yesterday, Caitlin, Dusknoir would not have been so easy."

Saying this, Mamon made another teasing remark.

Magic Bounce: Unaffected by status moves used by the opponent and reflects them back.

Although it was not an ability that directly increased combat power, it could immunize against and reflect most status moves; Magic Bounce was still a very strong ability.

Hearing this, Caitlin smiled gently, her eyes flowing with emotion as she looked at Mamon, then her gaze turned to the cute Espurr, and she smiled with understanding; the smile was beautiful.

"Thank you; I like this child very much."

Caitlin picked up Espurr, smiling faintly, her tone very gentle.

Yes, she liked it very much.

"I guessed so," Mamon laughed.

Just then, the doorbell rang, and Lance walked in after opening the door.

"Young Master."

Lance gave Mamen a bow, his gaze falling on Gardelia, who was wearing an elegant and gorgeous pink gown.

Young Master?

Gardelia noticed Lance's form of address.

"Lance is here. Come, let me introduce you—this is Gardelia, a new high-ranking officer of our Team Rocket."

"Gardelia, this is Lance, one of the Four Generals, the only high-ranking officer I got from my old man."

Mamen stood up and introduced them to each other.

Lance looked at Gardelia with considerable surprise. A high-ranking officer? No, wait—it's only been a few days, hasn't it? The Young Master has already recruited a high-ranking officer.

And one with such a gorgeous, noble aristocratic young lady image to boot. As expected of the Young Master—666.

Lance did not doubt Mamen's judgment—this was the awareness expected of a subordinate—and Lance also believed Mamen was not the kind of man to be blinded by lust.

"Hello, Miss Gardelia. I look forward to working with you."

Lance very politely greeted Gardelia, his attitude very friendly.

"The same to you, Mr. Lance. Gardelia is newly arrived; please look after me." Gardelia stood up, very elegantly lifting the hem of her skirt slightly and performing a standard curtsy.

Lance smiled and nodded, his first impression of Gardelia very good. Mm, he liked this kind of polite colleague.

What he hated most was that arrogant, stinky shorty Chakra.
