Chapter 120: What Kind of Organization Is Our Team Rocket?

You want to throw me in jail?

Hearing what Wallace said, Mamen couldn't help but laugh.

"Teacher Rice, your courage is commendable. I'll look forward to it, though I suppose you'll never achieve it in your lifetime."

"It's getting late. Goodbye, teachers, until next time."

Mamen couldn't wait to see the netizens' reactions once these photos were uploaded.

The purple light flared in Mega Mewtwo Y's eyes; it carried Mamen and the others into the air before vanishing into the horizon.

"Damn it! So arrogant!"

Wallace was furious. He felt that Mamen's words just now showed he didn't have him in his eyes at all!

This is too much!

"Really a headache."

Steven watched the direction where Mamen and the others vanished and couldn't help but rub his forehead in frustration. Such an evil organization leader, with no taboos and a somewhat erratic train of thought, made him feel that Hoenn would be very lively in the coming days.

However, since both Team Magma and Team Aqua have already been swallowed by Team Rocket, Team Rocket probably won't make any moves for a while... right?

"Wallace, let's return to Ever Grande City first. We need to discuss a battle plan against Team Rocket in detail." Steven said in a deep voice.

"Agreed!"

Caitlin's villa in Mauville City.

"How strange."

After landing, Cynthia looked at Mamen strangely.

"What's wrong?" Mamen asked back in confusion.

"Mamen, aren't we an evil organization?" Cynthia voiced the doubt in her heart.

"Since we captured Wallace and Steven, why did we let them go?"

What confused Cynthia was exactly this point: since we are the evil Team Rocket, shouldn't we act like an evil organization?

But Mamen has already let Wallace go for the second time, and this time Steven was involved as well.

Although they were just captured, you have to admit that both Steven and Wallace are extremely powerful Champion-level trainers.

Especially Steven's strength, which is quite outstanding even among Champions.

Letting them leave isn't that adding more threats and risks to Team Rocket?

"Then what is your idea, Cynthia? Kill them? Or imprison them?"

Hearing this, Mamen smiled and asked Cynthia in return.

"Emmm..." Cynthia pondered upon hearing this.

Killing Steven and Wallace never crossed Cynthia's mind; that would be far too extreme.

But imprisoning them?

"The Pokémon League is our opposing force. According to common sense, for high-end combat power of the League like Steven and Wallace, we should weaken them as much as possible."

Mamen walked into the villa, speaking as he went.

Caitlin and Cynthia followed behind Mamen. Hearing this, Cynthia nodded repeatedly; that was exactly what she thought.

"But killing these two Champions will only make the Pokémon League completely enraged. The Pokémon League will absolutely gather combat power at any cost to surround and annihilate us. By then, the opponents we face will be the entire world."

This is no exaggeration. The Pokémon League has been established for over a hundred years, gradually expanding its sphere of influence from the original Kanto to cover the entire world now.

Even Alola begged to join the Pokémon League, and the League still refused!

Why?

Because the Pokémon League truly maintains the stability and order of the world. They truly get things done, and this has earned the recognition, affirmation, and support of everyone.

Think about it: what is the dream of the vast majority of children nowadays?

"I want to set out on a journey, then challenge the XX League and become a Champion!"

This is the dream of the vast majority of children. No one would deny the Pokémon League, because the Pokémon League is respected and supported by everyone.

Steven, Wallace, Iris, Alder, Diantha, Leon, and Geeta—these powerful Champions from various regions may have different personalities and hobbies, but their common point is consistent.

They all look forward to greater harmony and friendship between humans and Pokémon. They all sincerely await the arrival of a better world, and they are all striving for it.

To implement the concept of humanitarianism, the Pokémon League even abolished the death penalty as a criminal punishment, just to guide people toward goodness.

Once the Pokémon League learns of Team Rocket killing Steven and Wallace, Team Rocket will absolutely be hated by both humans and gods, with everyone shouting for their destruction. The Pokémon League will absolutely mobilize all high-end combat power to surround and annihilate Team Rocket.

Mamen is indeed very strong, but ultimately he is only a top-tier Champion plus one Dark Mewtwo that has not yet fully developed.

Although Groudon has scored a goal, it has not yet acknowledged him.

If it were a true 1-on-1 duel, except for that old monster, even if Drake and Leon came, Mamen could confidently call them to come and never return.

But if he were the one being challenged, Mamen felt there would be significant pressure.

Just Drake and Leon joining forces already presents considerable difficulty, let alone other Champion-level trainers.

There might even be some black technology that could trick Mamen.

The black technology in the Pokémon world is truly very magical, especially the "first encounter kill" which is particularly useful.

Besides, ultimately, Mamen does not like killing people.

"Indeed so." Cynthia strongly agreed with Mamen's statement.

"As for imprisonment, it would be a losing proposition. If Steven and Wallace go missing, the Hoenn League cannot ignore it. They might even summon Champions from other regions." Mamen explained again.

Imprisoning Steven and Wallace is essentially meaningless and would only bring trouble upon themselves.

"Rather than letting the Hoenn League make a huge fuss searching and hindering us, it is better to maintain the current situation."

"I see."

Cynthia understood clearly.

"There is one most important point. Cynthia, what kind of organization do you think our Team Rocket is?"

Mamon sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and asked Siegana.

Upon hearing this, Siegana pondered carefully.

What organization is Team Rocket? An evil organization, but honestly, the Hoenn Team Rocket project she currently understands differs greatly from the evil organization she imagined.

In the past few days, Hoenn Team Rocket has acquired various factories and shops, and has also established many corporate companies.

But to say Team Rocket is a legitimate organization? Isn't that a joke?

An evil organization explicitly wanted by the Pokémon League, and Team Rocket's conduct is absolutely not connected in the slightest to the word 'legitimate'.

"Siegana, our Team Rocket's main goal at this stage is to make money." Mamon said with a smile.

Siegana's expression was very strange.

"Using Pokémon to earn vast amounts of money; this was Team Rocket's original intention when first established, and also its core tenet."

"What about now?"

Siegana keenly caught the phrase 'original intention when first established' that Mamon had spoken.

"Now... let's develop first. Plant Team Rocket's flags in all regions before anything else."

Mamon chuckled and did not give a definite answer to Siegana's question.

Siegana rolled her eyes, but did not press further.

The League Building in Ever Grande City.

After traveling for some time, Steven and Wallace finally returned to Ever Grande City, and then the two hurried straight to the conference room without stopping.

The Hoenn Elite Four and Officer Jenny were already waiting in the conference room.

"Champion Wallace, is there some urgent matter?"

Officer Jenny asked first in confusion, after all, it was rare for Wallace to notify them so urgently to hold a meeting.

"Just now, Steven and I encountered Team Rocket's Mamon in Mossdeep City and engaged in battle; I feel we must discuss our action plan against Team Rocket for the coming time."

Wallace went straight to the point.

Upon hearing Wallace's words, Officer Jenny and the others all showed slight changes in expression.

"You encountered them? Then what was the battle result?"

Phoebe couldn't help but ask; this was very important.

"Unfortunately, even with Steven and me, we were no match for Team Rocket." Wallace shook his head solemnly.

Steven remained expressionless.

"Even with the combined strength of you, Champion, and Mr. Steven, it wasn't enough?"

"Team Rocket is actually this strong... this is difficult."

"Could it be that the enemy had many people? With the strength of you, Champion Wallace, and Mr. Steven, you shouldn't have lost, right?"

Officer Jenny and the others were extremely shocked; this was the combined strength of the previous and current Hoenn Champions.

"The opposition only had three people, but we wrongly underestimated the strength of Team Rocket's high-ranking executives, and furthermore, Team Rocket's Champion-level combat power in Hoenn is not limited to just Mamon and Caitlin."

Steven said while shaking his head.

"There is also a black-haired girl named Siegana; her strength is also very formidable, with Salamence as her ace. We must investigate her well; I suspect she was originally a trainer from our Hoenn region."

Steven said in a deep voice; that Siegana's gaze at him was very wrong. Although Steven firmly believed he had never seen Siegana, Siegana definitely knew him.

The Team Rocket data sent from Kanto also contained no information about Siegana, indicating that Siegana was likely a member recruited by Team Rocket after arriving in Hoenn.

It is truly incredible; Champion-level trainers are extremely rare in any region, yet Team Rocket recruited one immediately upon arriving in Hoenn.

Moreover, why did Siegana join Team Rocket? Is the Hoenn League not more promising than Team Rocket?

"Three Champion-level combat powers... this..."

Officer Jenny's face turned very bad; no, is this really the combat power an evil organization should have?

The entire Hoenn region only has three Champion-level combat powers!

Moreover, among them, Sidney is currently unknown whereabouts, playing around in some ruin; not even a shadow of him can be seen.

"Team Rocket's strength is truly beyond expectation." Drake frowned tightly.

"It doesn't matter; when we came, I had already discussed with Steven that the search for Team Rocket must not stop!"

Master Wallace spoke with righteous determination.

"On this land of Hoenn, we need no dark organizations, especially evil and shameless dark organizations like Team Rocket; they must be completely eliminated and expelled!"

Master Wallace's tone was extremely firm; the will in his words made Officer Jenny and the others' minds tremble.

Champion Wallace! What a great and righteous realization!

"So, Champion Wallace, do you have any plan?"

Officer Jenny asked expectantly; to be honest, if even the combined strength of Steven and Wallace is not enough against those few high-ranking executives of Team Rocket.

Then this matter is truly very difficult; even if we find the target, we can't defeat them!

"Request aid from other regions!" Master Wallace coughed twice, hesitated for a moment, and replied thus.

It is true that he and Steven couldn't defeat Mamon and the other two, but they could borrow some people from the leagues of other regions!

For example, Kanto, for example, Sinnoh; just borrow a few Champions over, isn't that enough?
