Chapter 69: She Will Surely Suppress the Entire Alola Region!

"Holy crap! Articuno!"

Misuki's two big eyes widened to perfect circles, staring in shock at the ice-blue divine bird spewing profanity.

Beautiful, translucent blue feathers, a crest on its head formed by three dark blue diamond-shaped feathers, red eyes, and magnificent tail feathers almost as long as its body.

This was indeed one of the legendary birds of Kanto: Articuno!

As a native of Kanto, Misuki naturally recognized the Three Legendary Birds, even though this was her first time seeing one of these legendary birds with her own eyes.

"Where on earth did that guy get it??" Misuki was both shocked and delighted.

Wait! Yesterday Mamen asked her if she preferred Ice + Flying or Electric + Flying; could the other one be Zapdos?

Articuno's eyes looked coldly at Misuki, because it could see that Misuki was holding its Poké Ball.

According to the buzzcut man who had "educated" it, its trainer was a very excellent person.

Undoubtedly, it must be this girl right here, right? But...

"It's so awesome, Articuno, hehehe~ Articuno!"

Misuki walked up to Articuno with sparkling eyes; having a legendary Pokémon for the first time in her life, the girl's emotions were still very excited at this moment.

"Yes, yes! What a beautiful bird!" Acerola agreed very much; she also thought Articuno looked very good.

"Yiya~"

Articuno instinctively puffed up its chest, letting out a pleasant cry; the dignity of a divine bird must not be lost!

It was obvious that this trainer seemed to like it very much, but that was also true; after all, it was so beautiful, who wouldn't like itself?

Articuno was very proud, even though it couldn't defeat Moltres and Zapdos.

But when it comes purely to beauty, it will not lose!

Moltres? Just roasted chicken wings. Zapdos? Those feathers are like stray hairs; do they dare compare their looks with its own?

"So beautiful! And what is this?"

Misuki admired Articuno posing for a while longer, then turned her gaze to the milky-white jellyfish floating nearby.

This Pokémon's appearance was very strange; around the three translucent upper umbrella-like structures were some white hexagonal star marks, its tentacles were gelatinous, and the unconscious swaying of its tentacles vaguely resembled a human maiden.

Misuki recalled carefully and found that she indeed did not recognize this Pokémon.

"Its designation is UB01: Parasite, and its name is Nihilego."

Lillie softly spoke the name of this Pokémon.

Yes, it was indeed Nihilego, one of the Ultra Beasts!

Ultra Beasts... outsiders cannot possibly have Ultra Beasts!

As far as Lillie currently knew, only her mother and Mamen had ever captured Ultra Beasts.

Mr. Mamen... is he really Misuki's boyfriend?

Lillie pressed her lips tightly together; all the previous coincidences could be ignored, but the appearance of the Ultra Beast Nihilego undoubtedly proved a certain fact.

But why would this happen...

Lillie looked at Misuki with a complex, subtle expression; Misuki was the best friend she had met after escaping from Aether Paradise, and she was truly very happy to have met Misuki.

But Mr. Mamen... she also liked Mr. Mamen very much; it was the first time she had liked a boy.

Without Mr. Mamen, perhaps she would still be lost and wandering, and it would be impossible to reconcile with Mother.

Without Mr. Mamen, it would be very dangerous for Mother to enter the Ultra Space.

But the Mr. Mamen she liked was actually her best friend's boyfriend...

Mr. Mamen giving Misuki Articuno and Nihilego meant that Mr. Mamen must really like Misuki, right?

That was also true; Misuki was indeed a very amazing trainer, whether it was Professor Kukui or others, they always spared no praise to compliment Misuki.

And I... am not even a trainer.

Lillie's delicate little face dimmed; she subconsciously lowered her head, and the shadow of her wide brim covered part of the girl's cheek.

Little Nebby, can you tell me, what should I do?

Time moved to evening, inside Mamen's villa.

"How is it? Bao, did you receive the Pokémon?"

"Aaaaaah!! I received them, I like them super much! My dear! I love you! Mwah mwah mwah~!"

"I love you too; you must treat them well; their potential is very good."

Hearing Misuki's happy voice, Mamen could not help but show a smile on his face; the girl's emotions were very infectious.

"I heard the Alola League is about to be established; Bao, can you become the first Champion of Alola?"

"Hmm-hmm~ Of course! My dear, just watch; watch my heroic and divine might!"

Misuki replied with a grin, full of fighting spirit.

"Once this Miss becomes Champion-level, I'm going to catch that Tapu Koko! When I was traveling on Melemele Island, that rooster flew over my head every other day; it was so arrogant!"

"Okay, good luck."

Hearing this, Mamen couldn't help but laugh; he didn't expect Misuki to have set her sights on Tapu Koko.

Kukui, you can't blame me for this; although I promised you not to catch Tapu Koko and Tapu Bulu, Misuki is not part of Team Rocket now.

Afterwards, Mamen rushed to a nearby hotel and entered a reserved private room.

At this moment, many people were already seated in the private room.

Lance, Domino, Caitlin, Guzma, Bebe, Lusamine.

All the high-ranking executives of the Alola region had now arrived.

"The conquest of Alola has been very smooth so far, thanks to everyone's efforts; come, let's all have a drink."

Mamen poured himself a glass of red wine and said with a smile.

Everyone clinked glasses.

"For now, I have already settled things with Kukui and the others; Alola will tacitly acknowledge the existence of Team Rocket and will not interfere with us. Next, Lance, you will continue to oversee the development and expansion of all the companies."

"Yes." Lance nodded.

"Guzma, you will be responsible for all underground operations; ensure that no other malicious or dark organizations exist on this land of Alola."

"Heh~ My lord, rest assured and leave it to me; I just love doing this!" Guzma grinned.

"Belle, you will be responsible for logistics and the breeding farms; there must be no errors."

"Yes." Belle nodded silently; this was precisely her forte.

"And Lusamine, once you become the president of the Alola League, do not reveal your connection to the organization; infiltrate slowly."

Mamon looked at Lusamine; he still felt very assured about her, as this woman possessed first-rate intelligence and acting skills.

"No problem." Lusamine elegantly swirled her wine glass, looking dignified and noble.

"Mamon, with the establishment of the Alola League, the Alola Champion is not yet decided; how about letting Gladion strive for it?"

Lusamine pondered for a moment; if the champion of the Alola League were one of their own, then Alola would basically be entirely under their control!

But Mamon and Caitlin would definitely not work; Kukui and the others would likely react with stress.

But Gladion has a chance!

The full establishment of the Alola League is a matter for the second half of the year; under conditions of abundant resources, it is not impossible for Gladion to become a Champion-level Trainer in the second half of the year; Gladion has this talent!

"Do not worry; I have already prepared the Alola Champion; she will inevitably ascend to the top." Mamon smiled very gently.

Gladion indeed possesses Champion-level potential, but it is not secure, because Gladion truly might not pass Hau's hurdle.

But Mallow can! Mallow will inevitably suppress the entire Alola!

Even if you tie Kukui, Hau, and Gladion together, by the end of the year they will absolutely not be Mallow's match!

This is the weight of the name Mallow!

"Gentlemen, cheers!"

The Alola arc temporarily ends; next, we return to Kanto first, then head to the next region, emmm...
