Chapter 59: You Want Me to Be the League President?
"So beautiful."
Mamon looked at the shiny Kommo-o, sizing it up from head to toe before nodding in satisfaction.
Ultra Beasts are extremely rare in the real world, yet within the Ultra Space, they are common creatures.
Especially in the entire Ultra Desert space, Kommo-o is the only type of Ultra Beast present.
With such a large number, finding a shiny one isn't strange, but meeting one this quickly is truly good luck.
"Then, it's time to harvest."
Mamon threw two Poké Balls, and Tapu Fini and Decidueye appeared in front.
"You actually caught Tapu Fini?"
Lusamine was stunned; Kukui hadn't mentioned this to her.
"Not just that, Team Rocket members also caught Tapu Bulu," Mamon replied indifferently.
"..." Lusamine was speechless; what more could she say?
"Can you handle it?"
Lusamine skipped over the topic, looking nervously at the nine Kommo-o surrounding them.
"Just ordinary Ultra Beasts, what is there to worry about?"
Mamon's tone was very relaxed and carefree, clearly not taking these ordinary Ultra Beasts to heart.
Ultra Beasts are Pokémon of quite excellent strength, but wild Ultra Beasts vary greatly in power.
It cannot be denied that there might be Champion-level wild Ultra Beasts inside, but they are certainly a minority.
Let alone just nine, even if ten or more came, Mamon wouldn't be afraid.
Tapu Fini was currently boiling with bloodlust; as an Island Guardian, it naturally knew of the existence of Ultra Beasts, and it held no goodwill toward these "extraterrestrial things."
Under Mamon's orders, Tapu Fini and Decidueye actively charged at these Kommo-o, while Gengar naturally protected Mamon and Lusamine.
Kommo-o naturally couldn't stand being treated as prey by something that was "provoking" them.
And then...
There was no "then"; these Kommo-o lay scattered all over the ground.
The two Dragonite from the Pokémon Ride shop had eyes turned into stars, looking at Tapu Fini and Decidueye with admiration.
(The big shot is too fierce. jpg)
Mamon first caught the shiny Kommo-o; he planned to keep this one as his main force.
Then Mamon observed the other eight Kommo-o; for something like Ultra Beasts where individuals can be chosen, there must inevitably be differences in quality between individuals.
Mamon didn't have a system to directly check whether a Pokémon's talent was good or bad.
But generally, well-developed talents are rarely poor; size, posture, spirit, and skin luster can all reveal something.
"Let's go."
After catching three Kommo-o with superior size compared to the others, Mamon abandoned the remaining five and called out to Lusamine.
Anyway, they would definitely encounter others next, so he wasn't in a hurry.
"Lusamine, write this down." Mamon put the three Poké Balls into his backpack and spoke to Lusamine.
"?" Lusamine was confused.
"Kommo-o, Bug/Fighting type, the Beautiful Pokémon.
Ability: Beast Boost.
Description: One of the Ultra Beasts; perhaps feeling that everything in this world is filthy, it refuses to touch anything with its hands."
Mamon said slowly.
"Is this Pokedex information?" Lusamine asked with surprise and doubt; aside from moves, Mamon hadn't recited this, yet this was already very complete Pokedex information.
"Correct; regarding the moves, we'll record them when we return," Mamon nodded.
"After leaving the Ultra Space, send all the data on Ultra Beasts to Kukui, and you can take the Ultra Beasts you caught to talk to him personally."
"To promote the establishment of the Alola League?"
Lusamine wasn't stupid; after all, the excuse she used to deal with Lillie before was the Alola League, which Mamon had taught her.
"Exactly; once the existence of the Ultra Space is factually confirmed, there will be no reason for Kanto to oppose the establishment of the Alola League."
"And Lusamine, you who provided this Ultra Beast data are considered to have made a great contribution in the eyes of Kukui and others."
Mamon grinned, speaking slowly to Lusamine with deep meaning.
Lusamine's pupils contracted; she finally understood Mamon's meaning.
"Mamon, do you want me to be the President of the Alola League?!"
Lusamine looked at Mamon in shock; her prestige in the Alola region was already high.
Moreover, the key point of investigating the information on Ultra Beasts and promoting the establishment of the Alola League was provided by her.
Kukui and the other Island Kings would naturally feel gratitude toward her, increasing their favor.
In this way, she could naturally become the first President of the Alola League after its establishment!
In the entire Alola region, who could compete with her for this position?
There are, of course there are; Kukui could compete, but Kukui has no interest in this aspect, so he would never compete with Lusamine!
"Isn't this good?" Mamon asked back with a smile.
"..."
Lusamine's emotions surged, her eyes flickering with various complex feelings.
President of the Alola League; this is a position of power truly standing at the peak of the Alola region; one could say that at that time, aside from the Alola Elite Four and Champions who are equal in a certain sense, she would be the person with the most say!
Not want it? How is that possible!
Lusamine's breathing became Coarse and Heavy; she wanted this very much.
"I said I would push you to the peak; this is my promise to you, isn't it?"
Mamon walked behind Lusamine, embraced her, a very gentle hug that brought Lusamine back to her senses.
Seeing this scene, the two Dragonites were so shy they raised their paws to cover their eyes and turned around; they couldn't look, they couldn't look.
Lusamine tilted her head slightly, looking at the smile on Mamon's handsome face, her heartbeat accelerating slightly.
But in the end, the Aether Foundation president let out a cold sneer.
"That sounds good, but even if I become the president of the Alola League, I will still be your puppet; aren't you still doing this for your Team Rocket?"
"Our Team Rocket."
Mamon corrected Lusamine's words.
"Lusamine, you are now a member of the organization; whether for you or for me, this is beneficial in every way and harmful in none."
Mamon's palm gently glided, climbing upward until it grasped that barely graspable jade waist.
"We are outside; keep your hands to yourself."
Lusamine glared at Mamon with a mix of reproach and anger, but she did not interrupt his actions.
"No one is here, rest assured," Mamon leaned in and pecked Lusamine's cheek, saying with a smile.
"Alright, I understand."
Lusamine replied helplessly; in truth, she could not refuse Mamon's orders at all.
Besides, even if she were just a puppet, she would still be the president of the Alola League, wouldn't she?
In terms of status alone, she would leap to become one of the most powerful people in the world!
