It was the next day.
"Yo~ Caitlin, Cynthia, morning!"
At ten in the morning, Mammon came to the downstairs restaurant, stretching comfortably as he greeted them.
He was in a great mood at the moment, and his spirits were high.
Yes, after a fierce battle with Elesa yesterday, Mammon felt completely joyful.
Elesa was indeed a super-grade beauty, it was so exhilarating.
"Morning," Cynthia replied.
"Morning~ Your breakfast is ready, Mammon, it's in the warming cabinet."
Caitlin replied to Mammon with a faint, reserved smile.
"Alright."
Mammon walked into the kitchen.
"Are you really not bothered, Caitlin?"
Seeing Mammon enter the kitchen, Cynthia couldn't help but ask Caitlin.
She had also slept there last night, so she was very clear that Elesa had spent the entire night in Mammon's room.
"There's nothing to be bothered about."
Caitlin's tone remained very elegant.
"An ignorant vixen, besides helping Mammon practice his skills, poses no threat."
"???"
Cynthia was astonished, then fell into deep thought.
Because she heard it, Caitlin seemed to genuinely think that way!
Sister, are you really that confident?
Although Elesa and Mammon were indeed not well-matched, given the huge disparity between them.
But that shouldn't be the reason for your confidence, right? And since you like Mammon so much, are you just going to watch him play with women?
"Why don't you actively pursue Mammon?"
Cynthia was very confused.
"Mammon has a girlfriend," Caitlin said faintly.
"..."
Cynthia's mind was in a storm.
After breakfast, the three of them, Mammon, Cynthia, and Caitlin, headed towards Snowpoint City. As for Elesa, because she had been too exhausted yesterday, she probably needed a good rest today.
Moreover, Elesa had come with Rosa and Hilda, so it was impossible for her to leave with Mammon.
By two in the afternoon, Mammon and the two ladies had already arrived in Snowpoint City.
Snowpoint City, known as the 'Winter City of Sparkling Ice Flowers,' is located at the northernmost tip of the Sinnoh region and is covered in snow year-round, with snow falling from the summit of Mt. Coronet keeping the temperatures consistently low.
Upon arriving in Snowpoint City, Mammon did not linger but continued north.
However, along the way, he noticed many pedestrians hurrying, as if something had happened.
Continuing north, until they reached a crossroads, Mammon roughly understood.
Many police officers were currently fighting a group of Hunters, and there seemed to be a significant conflict.
"Damn it! These guys!"
A young black-haired girl, who looked quite young and was wearing student uniform-like clothing, gritted her teeth as she looked at the Hunter Organization members in front of her.
She was Candice, the Gym Leader of Snowpoint City, known as the 'Diamond Dust Girl,' a Gym Trainer specializing in Ice-type Pokémon.
"These Hunters are not right, Gym Leader Candice, we need to defeat them quickly and break through."
Officer Jenny said solemnly to Candice.
Under normal circumstances, such small-scale Hunter groups would run faster than rabbits when they saw League personnel.
But today, these people were guarding this crossroads and refused to leave, which was clearly very suspicious.
Officer Jenny smelled a conspiracy!
"I understand!"
Candice clenched her small fist, her delicate face filled with seriousness.
However, although their will was indeed excellent, these Hunters were not weak, and each of them had Pokémon like Metang, Skarmory, and Crobat.
These Hunters were all very skilled, and their cooperation was excellent, making it difficult to break through in a short time.
"It looks like you could use some Helping Hand."
"You are...? Huh? Champion Cynthia!"
Candice and Officer Jenny turned their heads, confused, to look at the person who spoke, but quickly both saw Cynthia behind Mammon.
Although she was wearing different clothes than usual, Cynthia's recognition was still very high.
"Candice, long time no see."
Cynthia greeted with a faint smile.
"It's been four months, Champion Cynthia!"
Candice seemed very excited; she was still quite young, and it appeared she greatly admired Cynthia.
But it's true, any normal person from Sinnoh would basically love a Champion as intelligent, elegant, and powerful as Cynthia.
"It seems you've encountered some trouble."
Cynthia looked at the Hunter group opposite them.
"Yes, these Pokémon Hunters came from who knows where. They've occupied this crossroads and won't allow anyone to pass. They're probably carrying out some unknown plan inside."
When it came to business, Candice spoke with a serious expression.
"Mammon?"
Cynthia nodded and looked at Mammon.
"It should be Hunter J's subordinates, no doubt. There aren't many Hunter groups in Sinnoh with the quality of her team."
Mammon observed the Hunters and couldn't help but chuckle.
It really seems he was right; Hunter J took on a commission. To be honest, Mammon truly admired Hunter J.
She really dares to take on any commission! She even dares to take on the task of capturing Regigigas. Should one say she's overly confident in herself, or that she's lost her mind?
She has no self-awareness at all; it can only be said that Hunter J has been blinded by her own achievements.
And actually, it's not just Regigigas; in the anime, Hunter J later took on a commission from Team Galactic, helping Team Galactic capture the Lake Guardians.
Well, the key is that she actually succeeded, but in the end, due to relaxing after the mission was over, she crashed.
Hunter J, this person, has to be said, certainly has ability. Her strength and black technology are both good, no wonder she can thrive.
"Hunter J, huh? She certainly is a tough enemy."
Officer Jenny couldn't help but frown, but then seeing Cynthia, Officer Jenny relaxed again.
With Champion Cynthia here, Hunter J and the like are nothing to fear.
"Champion Cynthia, who are these two?"
Candice looked curiously at Mammon and Caitlin.
"Mammon and Caitlin, they are both my... friends."
Cynthia hesitated for a moment but still introduced them this way.
Otherwise, she couldn't possibly introduce them as both being from Team Rockets, could she? The main reason was that Cynthia hadn't expected to encounter Candice and Officer Jenny here.
It must be said, this was quite troublesome.
Mammon and Caitlin?
Officer Jenny felt that the names sounded familiar, but for a moment, she couldn't recall where she had heard them.
"Hello, I'm Candice, the Gym Leader of Snowpoint Gym."
Candice, however, enthusiastically introduced herself to Mammon and Caitlin.
Although Candice specializes in Ice-types, her personality is sunny, cheerful, and full of vitality.
And...
"Hello, it's so cold, aren't you cold wearing so little?"
Mammon asked Candice with considerable curiosity.
Because Candice's attire resembled a female student's uniform, with a short skirt that exposed her thighs.
And the temperature around Snowpoint City was still very low.
"Haha~ Actually, it's fine, you get used to it and won't be afraid anymore."
Candice's smile was very infectious.
"Your physical condition is truly excellent. Let's take down these Hunters first. I wonder what Hunter J is up to."
Mammon praised her; perhaps it was due to her long-term companionship with Ice-type Pokémon that Candice's physique became more resistant to cold.
But ultimately, the physical constitution of people in the Pokémon world is generally very good.
Meanwhile, beneath Snowpoint Temple.
"Where is it? The legendary Regigigas."
Hunter J, with silver-gray hair, a rather cold and alluring face, and wearing a coat, sat on her Salamence, observing the surroundings.
She was currently inside Snowpoint Temple, but no matter how much she searched, she couldn't find any trace of Regigigas.
This made Hunter J a bit annoyed.
"In that case, Salamence!"
Hunter J's patience had run out. She shifted her gaze to the three mysterious pillars below.
Her perception was still very strong; she keenly noticed something unusual about these three pillars.
According to her investigation, Regigigas should be slumbering within this temple, and to awaken Regigigas, perhaps some special conditions were required.
But Hunter J was too lazy to search; using more forceful methods should also work. Anyway, she just needed to find Regigigas and capture it.
This time, the client had paid a very generous reward; completing this single transaction could be worth ten regular jobs!
"Dragon Pulse!"
Hunter J decisively ordered Salamence.
Salamence let out a low roar, and a pure dragon light condensed, directly striking one of the pillars.
Boom!
The Dragon Pulse hit, and the stone pillar cracked open.
A mysterious array pattern flickered into view, then disappeared again.
It worked!
Hunter J noticed this; it seemed her method was correct.
Immediately, Hunter J had Salamence destroy the other two pillars as well. The mysterious array pattern lit up again, and this time it did not disappear.
"Regi~!"
A deep, profound growl emanated from underground, and a suffocating sense of oppression filled the underground space.
Boom!
The ground trembled violently. A massive hand extended from the array pattern, slamming heavily onto the ground.
The entire underground space shook violently.
Hunter J's expression changed, because this hand was truly enormous; just that arm alone was already much larger than Salamence.
It was hard to imagine how truly massive the legendary Regigigas's true form was.
"Regi!!"
The deep, heavy growl intensified, and one could clearly feel the anger within that growl!
As its hand propped itself on the ground, Regigigas's colossal body slowly emerged from underground, its immense and heavy Aura Heart gradually spreading.
"Salamence! Dragon Pulse!"
Hunter J immediately ordered Salamence.
She had already sensed that something was wrong; this Regigigas's Aura Heart was too astonishing.
Was this truly a Pokémon that could be captured by human power?
But no matter what, she had to try.
Salamence opened its gaping maw, and a pure dragon light spewed forth, hitting Regigigas's body directly.
There was a loud boom.
However, Regigigas seemed unaffected, not even pausing its movement.
"Go!"
Seeing this, Hunter J finally understood that this terrifying creature was absolutely not something she could handle, and immediately had Salamence retreat.
Salamence carried Hunter J away at high speed.
"Regi!!"
Regigigas's angry roar reverberated again, and the entire Snowpoint Temple trembled violently.
Salamence's flight speed was very fast. Before long, Salamence had already carried Hunter J outside Snowpoint Temple.
Hunter J looked down at Snowpoint Temple, only to see the ground in front of Snowpoint Temple begin to crack, and a 'giant' with a massive white torso rose from underground.
By estimation, it was probably at least twenty to thirty meters tall. Its size was like a mountain, and its visual impact was extremely strong.
This was the legendary Regigigas!
"The legendary Pokémon..."
Hunter J frowned deeply. She could directly feel the furious Aura Heart emanating from Regigigas at that moment.
It was clear that her previous crude destruction of the three pillars had disturbed Regigigas's slumber, and now this legendary Pokémon was extremely angry.
Of course, a cold-blooded Pokémon Hunter like Hunter J would not reflect on her actions; she was only shocked that this legendary Regigigas was actually so powerful?
As an egoist, Hunter J always believed that legends were just legends, merely myths exaggeratedly recorded by ancient people.
But now it seemed that legendary Pokémon were indeed terrifying. It looked like this commission could only be abandoned.
Hunter J really wanted that reward, but she wanted her life more. Money could be earned, but what good was money if her life was gone?
As for what to do about this enraged Regigigas next? That was none of Hunter J's business.
Hunter J patted Salamence's body; she was already preparing to flee.
Anyway, it looked like this Regigigas had no flying ability. Could it possibly catch up to her Salamence?
