Chapter 66: Why Do You Say Team Rocket Is Evil!

"Now that I have severed my identity from yours, this is a very good reason."

Giovanni shook his head.

"If I can become one of the Kanto Elite Four, then I can have more control over the League's actions, which has many benefits."

The status and position of the League Elite Four and the League Gym Leaders are completely different; once Giovanni becomes an Elite Four member, he will be able to obtain more intelligence and data.

Then the benefits to Team Rocket go without saying.

Although this inevitably means his movements will be under the League's watch, he is very at ease with Mamen controlling Team Rocket.

"Then it depends on your performance when the time comes, Dad." Mamen naturally had no objections.

Whether from an emotional or rational perspective, Giovanni being able to penetrate deep into the Kanto League is a matter of only benefits and no harm.

What needs to be considered now is which rank among the Kanto Elite Four Giovanni can reach.

"Heh heh~" Giovanni chuckled in a low voice.

After a few more simple words of idle chatter, Mamen hung up the phone and opened someone's contact interface.

Mamen: Babe, do you like Electric-Flying type or Ice-Flying type?

Moon: (Cat confusion. jpg)

Time blinked by to the next day; Cattleya left first, and Mamen said goodbye to Lillie.

Originally, he wanted to send Lillie back to Aether Paradise, but Lillie said she was going to find friends and wouldn't go back yet.

Mamen understood, so he headed to Melemele Island himself.

Kukui's laboratory.

"Phew~ finally finished organizing."

Kukui rubbed his temples with a headache; he had been working overtime day and night for the past two days to organize the data on Ultra Beasts, and he had finally entered them all into the Pokédex database.

Because Kukui simply couldn't wait!

Kukui was stirred with excitement; with this data on Ultra Beasts, the Alola League could definitely be established.

Thanks to President Lusamine; she really is a great contributor to Alola!

Ding-dong~

At this moment, the laboratory doorbell rang.

Kukui took a sip of coffee and forced himself to perk up to open the door, but when he saw the young man outside, Kukui was stunned.

"Hello~ Ku..." Mamen raised his hand with a smile to greet him.

But the next second, Kukui slammed the door shut like lightning.

Was he hallucinating? How could he have seen that high-ranking Team Rocket executive?

Kukui's expression was uncertain; could it be that he had gone mentally unstable from working overtime?

After waiting for a few seconds, Kukui took a deep breath and cautiously opened the door again.

What came into view was still that smiling, handsome face of the young man.

Kukui: "..."

The hand Kukui had behind his back pressed against his phone; he was already considering whether to send a distress message to Miss Cynthia.

"How very rude, Professor Kukui. Is this how you treat guests?"

"That applies to friendly guests, and you, you are an uninvited hungry wolf, aren't you?"

Kukui calmed down, frowned, and said flatly.

"So cold. But I'm not here to bicker with you today, Professor Kukui. Won't you invite me in for a seat?"

Mamen smiled very brightly; just looking at his appearance, one could never tell that this was a highly dangerous individual.

At least Kukui would never associate him with Team Rocket.

Kukui hesitated for a moment. Letting Mamen into the laboratory? This was no different from inviting a wolf into the house.

"Don't worry, Professor Kukui. As long as you don't make a move against me, I won't take action today." Mamen naturally understood Kukui's concerns and spread his hands to show he was harmless.

"I'm just here to have a heart-to-heart with you, Professor Kukui. I am a person who keeps his word, you know."

"Come in."

Professor Kukui took a deep look at the young man and stepped aside.

Entering the laboratory and sitting on the sofa, Mamen looked around.

"Tsk~ Professor Kukui, your laboratory is a bit small. Do you need our organization to sponsor you? Help you build a grand laboratory with complete facilities."

Mamen teased with a smile.

"Thanks for your concern, I am quite comfortable doing research alone." Kukui shook his head.

"Then, Mr. Mamen, what did you come here for today?"

Kukui's hospitality as a host was still up to par; he even poured Mamen a cup of tea.

"It's like this, I want to make a deal with you, Professor Kukui."

"???"

Kukui was stunned, looking at Mamen in astonishment.

No, what did Mamen just say?

"Mr. Mamen, you really love to joke." Kukui came back to his senses and refused without hesitation.

"Professor Kukui, don't you want to hear what the deal is?"

"If you are willing to release Tapu Fini back to Poni Island, Mr. Mamen, then I am willing to talk to you." Kukui made a demand.

"Professor Kukui, I am very sincere." Mamen raised an eyebrow: "Your rudeness really makes me very unhappy."

"I have nothing to talk about with Team Rocket." Kukui replied very bluntly as before.

"Tsk~ It seems Professor Kukui has a lot of prejudice against us."

"Team Rocket is an evil organization; this is a well-known fact."

Kukui spoke his mind directly. Would he have to be out of his mind to discuss a deal with Team Rocket?

"Evil and justice have been defined by the strong since ancient times. Professor Kukui, you say our Team Rocket is evil, so may I ask where we are evil?"

Mamen sneered twice and asked Kukui in return.

Kukui frowned; did this even need to be said?

"After our Team Rocket landed in the Alola region, the first thing we did was reorganize and merge Team Skull, making the phenomenon of Team Skull bullying civilians disappear."

You call that reorganizing and merging? Isn't that just annexing and grabbing territory?

Kukui complained in his heart.

"The second thing was opening the entertainment city, which boosted the economy of Hau'oli City. The Arceus Entertainment City has now become the second must-visit area on Melemele Island after the Big Wave Beach area."

Mamen spoke eloquently.

And these words made Kukui silent. In fact, after confirming that Team Rocket had arrived in Alola, they quickly determined that the 'boss' behind the Arceus Entertainment City was Team Rocket.

After all, the Arceus Entertainment City cost so much capital and resources that it wasn't something an ordinary conglomerate could support, especially the Dratini resources.

But is this a good thing?

Of course, from an economic perspective, it is indeed correct. The Arceus Entertainment City has truly boosted the economy of Hau'oli City, and it is even one of the places that tourists visiting Hau'oli City must go to.

Although Kukui highly suspected that this was a good reputation bought by Team Rocket throwing money around.

After all, Kukui is now one of the members on the blacklist of the Arceus Entertainment City; he cannot enter the Arceus Entertainment City, and the security guards simply won't let him in to play.

Because the first-generation boss of the Arceus Entertainment City, Guzma, hated Kukui and stipulated the rule that 'Kukui and dogs are not allowed to enter the entertainment city.'

"Third, our Team Rocket expelled the hunter organizations on various islands, cleaned up all the stinking rats in these industries, and let the environment of the Alola region flourish."

"Our organization's members even protected ordinary citizens from the trouble and harm of suddenly appearing Ultra Beasts."

Mamen handed a document to Kukui, which detailed how yesterday on Ula'ula Island, an Ultra Beast, Nihilego, suddenly appeared and almost parasitized a middle-aged woman.

It was a small team of Team Rocket members who rescued this woman.

Looking at this document, Kukui's brow was already furrowed into a 'chuan' shape.

"Come, please tell me, Professor Kukui, on what grounds do you think our Team Rocket is evil?"

Mamen grinned, crossed his legs, and watched Kukui with composure.

Kukui: "..."
