Chapter 103: Mikuri: Taking on Team Rocket? A Sisterhood Guaranteed to Win
Siegane genuinely felt that the person from Team Rocket before her was a bit too extreme.
Blowing up people's buildings and leveling their houses at the drop of a hat—is that the mindset of someone in this peaceful era?
Mamon thought Siegane was still a bit conservative; with such deep-seated hatred, she actually hadn't accepted his proposal?
"You know about our clan's prophecy, right?"
Siegane temporarily skipped over this topic; although she hadn't directly agreed to Mamon's request at that moment, she was indeed moved by Mamon's 'sincerity'.
She must take revenge for Siegane's grudge!
But her three opposing factions were indeed not simple, especially the Johto Pokémon Association, which relied on the Kanto League.
"Of course, the meteor crisis in the prophecy." Mamon nodded.
Long, long ago, a meteor shower constantly streaked across the night sky; Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought, leaving people desperate and without refuge, until Rayquaza descended to stop them.
A thousand years later, a meteor fell upon the present-day Sootopolis City; Groudon and Kyogre were awakened and battled, and people were once again shrouded in despair.
The successor of that time prayed to the Meteorite of Seven Colors, hoping Rayquaza would descend; the prayer reached Rayquaza, and the power of the Meteorite of Seven Colors successfully caused Rayquaza to Mega Evolve, defeating Groudon and Kyogre once more and sending them back to sleep.
The People of the Meteor, saved twice by Rayquaza, built the Sky Pillar to worship Rayquaza; at the same time, the People of the Meteor left a prophecy on the murals of the Sky Pillar.
A thousand years later, a new meteor will descend; before the meteor strikes the continent, Rayquaza must be summoned again to shatter the meteor.
"You indeed know as well." Siegane narrowed her eyes slightly; she didn't understand why Mamon, who was clearly not of the People of the Meteor, would know about the prophecy.
"That isn't important; what matters is that Siegane, you indeed need assistance, right?" Mamon waved his hand with a smile.
"Whether it is the matter of the prophecy, or your sister's grudge."
"I can accomplish it alone."
Siegane said coldly; she did not like Mamon's tone.
"Of course, but wouldn't it be much more convenient with our help? Siegane." Mamon's smile did not diminish in the slightest.
"If you want to avenge your sister, then you will inevitably need like-minded companions, and we will support you."
Mamon picked up the golden badge from the table and slowly placed it into Siegane's hand.
And this time, Siegane did not let go of this One Badge.
"This brings you no harm, and you will be able to freely utilize Team Rocket's resources."
"That sounds very nice, but won't I be wanted by the Pokémon League next?"
Siegane looked at the golden badge in her hand for a long time, and couldn't help but smile.
"So what? We won't lose a piece of flesh."
Mamon didn't care in the slightest; he exchanged a glance with Siegane, and both of them couldn't help but laugh.
Yes, Siegane had not refused.
Mamon was right; to seek justice for Siegane, Siegane needed a powerful faction that would not fear the Pokémon League to support her.
And the fearless Team Rocket was very suitable.
Team Rocket needed her strength, but she equally needed Team Rocket's strength; this was a win-win.
Watching Mamon and Siegane, who had already reached a consensus, Flannery had a blank expression, and no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.
She felt her worldview had been refreshed; Team Magma only wanted to expand the land.
And what the heck were these two just discussing?
The Bellis Family, Devon Corporation, the Pokémon Association, and what falling meteor prophecy?
Not buddy, the things you are discussing are a bit too high-end, right? And you actually want to go take out these things??
Flannery genuinely felt her previous horizon seemed a bit too narrow, and she also didn't know if they could succeed.
But what she knew was that Team Magma and Team Aqua were about to suffer.
Indeed, they were about to suffer; Maxie, who was in Mossdeep City, looked at his hand which had received no response for a long time, his brows tightly furrowed.
An hour had already passed, and Flannery had not sent any message to him.
Maxie didn't know what had happened, but he supposed Flannery had probably been captured.
"Team Rocket, how did Team Rocket end up in the Hoenn region?"
Maxie was very confused, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
Even while in the Hoenn region, Maxie knew that Team Rocket was the strongest evil organization in the underground world of Kanto.
An evil organization that managed to grow strong right under the Kanto League's nose!
The strength of such an organization must be very great; although they crossed the sea to come here, they absolutely could not be underestimated.
Isn't this them attacking our door right now?
"Do they think Team Magma has no one?"
Maxie pushed up his glasses, cold light flashing in his eyes; even as calm as he was, anger rose in his heart at this moment.
His Team Magma, as the local power of Hoenn, had just had Team Rocket arrive in Hoenn and directly raid their organization's base, and even capture his organization's executive, Flannery.
What is this?
This is a blatant slap in the face to him, Maxie!
Fine, fine, fine!! Do they look down on his Team Magma like this?
But Maxie was always very calm and rational; he claimed to be different from that muscle-brained Archie; he ate with his brain.
"Team Rocket is coming with great momentum; direct confrontation is absolutely not the best strategy."
Maxie quickly confirmed this point; Team Rocket was a dragon crossing the river, and although he didn't know how many people they brought.
But the fact that Flannery couldn't escape and was directly captured showed that the people Team Rocket brought were probably not weak.
Maxie didn't want to just rush up and fight Team Rocket; what if they didn't win the fight?
Drive the tiger to swallow the wolf!
"That fool Shu Wu Tong can be used, and..."
Maxie pondered that having his arch-rival Shu Wu Tong lead men to clash with Team Rocket was the optimal choice; regardless of which side won, Maxie could accept the outcome.
But sparking conflict between the two sides would not be easy. No, Team Rocket would certainly not let Team Aqua off the hook.
If only he had the location of a core Team Aqua base, he could simply throw that location to the Team Rocket members.
Team Rocket would surely come knocking to smash the place, wouldn't they?
Maxie felt a bit regretful; he did not know which base Shu Wu Tong was stationed at, otherwise he could sit on the mountain watching the tigers fight.
But it did not matter; he still had a brilliant plan!
A cold sneer curled Maxie's lips as he opened a drawer and took out a spare mobile phone.
"Hello? This is the Fallarbor Police Station."
Officer Jenny's stern voice came through the phone.
"Officer Jenny, I want to report a crime!" Maxie coughed dryly, feigning a voice of panic and worry.
"Calm down, Mr. Please tell us what happened." Officer Jenny soothed this 'upstanding citizen' whose tone was panicked.
"My friend and I were playing at Mt. Chimney, then we encountered a group of terrorists calling themselves Team Rocket. They stole our Pokémon and kidnapped my friend!"
"What?"
Officer Jenny exclaimed in shock.
Wait, Team Rocket???
"Are you sure it was Team Rocket?" Officer Jenny was a bit confused; where in Hoenn had Team Rocket come from?
Weren't it just those two idiot extremist environmental organizations, Team Magma and Team Aqua?
"Absolutely no mistake. They wore black uniforms. I am very worried about my friend right now, Officer Jenny. My friend is a girl, and I am afraid those Team Rocket members might do something to her."
Maxie, expressionless, used a voice full of sorrow and fear to seek help from Officer Jenny.
"I understand. I will immediately notify the Lavaridge Town police. Please rest assured; we will do our utmost to rescue your friend!"
Officer Jenny solemnly promised, then briefly asked for details, such as the location where the Team Rocket robbery occurred.
Maxie directly reported the location near the base to Officer Jenny. After all, this base had already been taken down by Team Rocket; if Team Magma could not get it, Team Rocket shouldn't get it either!
He hung up the phone.
"Heh~ Diverting the disaster eastward. Team Rocket? Go play with the Hoenn League first."
Maxie sneered coldly. With the Hoenn League issuing a warrant for Team Rocket, Team Rocket's days would definitely not be good.
After all, this was ultimately the Hoenn region. Team Rocket currently had no foothold; their feet hadn't even stood firm yet. Under the Hoenn League's care, Team Rocket would struggle to move!
This was Maxie's wisdom!!
People must use their brains. If one only relies on brute force, one will end up just like that fool Shu Wu Tong, with a body full of muscles but a brain the size of a walnut.
And at this moment, Officer Jenny, who had received the report, immediately conveyed this news to the higher-ups.
The final result was...
"Huh? Team Rocket?"
In the Champion's office within the League building in Ever Grande City, the current Hoenn Champion, draped in a white cloak, wore a face full of question marks.
A fair Bai Xi face, noble and elegant temperament, a slender and tall figure—this was Wallace.
He was originally the Gym Leader of the Sootopolis Gym and also a Master-class Coordinator, but due to his close friend's sincere invitation, he became the Hoenn League Champion.
And his close friend had gone off to casually dig for rocks.
Hmm, Wallace had cursed his close friend more than once in his heart.
"Team Rocket, I recall they are from the Kanto region, right?"
Wallace propped his chin and pondered for a moment; he did not pay much attention to this.
In his view, so-called evil organizations were just minor disturbances, just like Team Magma and Team Aqua.
To be honest, when he learned the ideologies of Team Magma and Team Aqua, Wallace couldn't help but want to laugh out loud. What the hell, expanding land and expanding the ocean? That reason was too bizarre.
He even felt these two organizations were here to make jokes.
"Yes, Team Rocket is a very evil and powerful dark organization. According to intelligence, not long ago they even invaded the Alola region,"
Officer Jenny commanded with a worried voice.
"Champion Wallace, now that Team Rocket has invaded Hoenn, I fear they come with ill intentions."
"Do not worry, Officer Jenny." Wallace lowered his head and smiled calmly, his tone full of composure and ease.
"It is just a mere evil organization; they cannot amount to anything great."
Wallace was very confident; he even thought Team Rocket might have been squeezed too tightly by the Kanto region, forcing them to seek other paths, which is why they invaded Alola and Hoenn.
"But to dare to snatch the Pokémon of my Hoenn residents and even carry out kidnappings is simply too excessive!"
Wallace slammed the table and stood up, filled with righteous indignation and hatred for evil.
Officer Jenny silently watched her Champion's performance.
"This is simply treating our Hoenn League as nothing. For such evil elements, we must strike with a heavy fist!"
Wallace spoke with a majestic and solemn air.
"Then, what does your Excellency the Champion mean?"
"I shall go personally. A mere Team Rocket, let me, Wallace, grant them an elegant curtain call."
Wallace smiled faintly, full of style.
"This... you do not need to go personally?" Officer Jenny was stunned.
"For such a criminal organization, the best method is to deliver a thunderous strike to prevent them from escaping early and rising from the ashes." Wallace stated solemnly.
As if he would miss this opportunity to leave Ever Grande City; how would he then enjoy the Contest in Mauville City?
As for a mere Team Rocket? Easy pass.
Mini Theater
Officer Jenny: Then I hope the Champion returns victorious.
Wallace: Guaranteed win, sisters.
Wallace has issued his victory declaration.
