Cynthia was indeed sweating a bit at this moment, because Caitlin was currently staring intently at her.
It wasn't that she was afraid of Caitlin, but Cynthia knew very well that Caitlin clearly liked Mammon.
But now Mammon was saying he wanted to have children with her…
How should she put it?
Cynthia always had a sense of immoral tension, like she was hooking up with a sister's man, although strictly speaking, Caitlin's current situation should be considered a crush?
But that was the general idea, and Cynthia felt a bit uncomfortable meeting Caitlin's gaze.
"Mammon, you have a girlfriend, don't you?"
Cynthia composed herself and looked at Mammon.
"Is it really okay for you to mess around behind your girlfriend's back like this?"
Cynthia was hinting, no, she was clearly stating it.
Shouldn't one be faithful in a relationship?
"Cynthia, the Pokemon League has never stipulated monogamy, has it?" Mammon couldn't help but laugh.
"…" Cynthia's delicate brows furrowed slightly.
Indeed, the Pokemon League had never precisely stipulated monogamy, but it had also never advocated for polygyny or polyandry.
After all, more than a hundred years ago, before the Pokemon League was established, various regions were still in feudal times, with powerful nobles, small states, and large kingdoms coexisting.
It wasn't until the Pokemon League was founded and gradually unified the regions that today's rapidly developing modern society came into being.
Although the Pokemon League still preserved the honorary titles of traditional nobles in various regions, such as Queen or King, these were merely titles.
However, looking at Mammon, it seemed he truly didn't intend to have just one wife…
Caitlin was thoughtful. Was Mammon planning to find several more wives?
But to be honest, Caitlin wasn't very surprised, as her 'resistance' was already very high.
Compared to Mammon messing around outside later, it was indeed better to let him find a few more wives.
But the position of the main wife, Caitlin had to secure.
And she was confident she could win it!
"Mammon, why are you making things difficult for me?" Cynthia said helplessly.
"It seems you're not very willing, Cynthia." Mammon rested his chin in his hand, pondering for a moment.
Who would be willing?
Cynthia wanted to retort, 'Join Team Rockets?' This was something Cynthia was very resistant to now. As for having children with Mammon? Wouldn't that be marrying Mammon?
Cynthia certainly wasn't willing.
"Then how about this, you were already planning to travel with us during this period, so how about you be my maid and take care of my daily life during this time?"
Mammon looked at Cynthia with a smile.
Caitlin's eyes instantly changed. A maid again?
Erika from Kanto, Elesa from Unova, they were all vivid in her memory!!
Caitlin immediately looked at Cynthia. Cynthia, you are the Champion of the Sinnoh region!
"Maid…"
Cynthia fell into contemplation upon hearing this. She didn't know how to be a maid, but if it was just simple daily care, it wasn't difficult.
Compared to the first two demands, Cynthia truly felt this was 'easy mode'.
"Are you sure it's just a maid?"
"Of course."
"Alright, I agree."
Cynthia nodded and agreed. Being Mammon's maid for a period wasn't an overly excessive request.
Compared to the safety of the entire Snowpoint City, she could endure this little hardship.
And ultimately, it was just being a maid, not being Mammon's beast of burden. With Caitlin around, Mammon wouldn't do anything excessive to her, so there was no need to worry.
"So straightforward, it seems I should have raised my demands." Mammon raised an eyebrow.
Cynthia: "…"
"I've already agreed to your request, Mammon. You should fulfill your promise too."
Cynthia looked at the still rampaging Regigigas, still very worried that this big guy's madness would affect Snowpoint City.
"Don't worry, this big guy is just hot-headed right now." Mammon shrugged.
"You guys keep an eye on this woman. She used a bottle of my Sacred Ash. If she doesn't sell her life to Team Rockets, I'll make her life hell."
Mammon glanced at Hunter J, a cold smile playing on his lips.
He knew Hunter J was definitely conscious now, but was unable to move due to her injuries.
Mammon wasn't going to be nice to this woman. After all, Hunter J's character and ability were self-evident, given her success in an organization like the Hunter Organization.
But making Hunter J obedient wouldn't be so easy.
However, it didn't matter. If she wasn't obedient, she just needed a good education. If she insisted on being so stubborn, then she would be thrown to the Sharpedo.
Coincidentally, he had a pack of Sharpedo under his command.
"Hmm~" Caitlin wore a faint, perfect smile.
Cynthia: "…"
Hunter J: "…"
"Reshiram."
Mammon threw out Reshiram's Poké Ball, and the noble and aloof True White Dragon appeared before Mammon.
Mammon rode Reshiram and flew towards Regigigas.
Regigigas was still raging wildly, firing Hyper Beam after Hyper Beam as if they cost nothing.
"This attack speed, Slow Start must be over, right?"
Mammon observed the Regigigas below. The frequency of its attacks didn't seem at all like it was being hampered by Slow Start.
In the games, Slow Start halves attack and speed for five turns, which is a very exaggerated negative effect.
Because even though the Regigigas below was frantically firing Hyper Beam, Regigigas's special attack was not actually very strong.
Of course, this was relative. In reality, due to its excellent strength, Regigigas's Hyper Beam was still far beyond the reach of ordinary Pokémon.
And Cheren's description of Slow Start was very interesting:
'Pokémon with this ability have their attack and speed halved for the first five turns they are in battle. It's all about whether they can last through those five turns. That's the key to victory for this ability!'
My 'key to victory' indeed! That's five turns!!
With attack and speed halved for five crucial turns, how is Regigigas supposed to last through five turns?
This is also why Regigigas, despite being a legendary Pokémon, is not on the restricted list.
Because Regigigas with the Slow Start ability, unless used in a special way, is purely useless, the kind that no one even uses to clear the game.
But in reality, Regigigas's Slow Start is not so fatal, though it depends on the situation.
As long as it's not sent out to battle immediately, letting it stand on the side for a while to activate is fine.
Also, during the Slow Start period, Regigigas can be strengthened to warm up.
Additionally, in the real world, even with Slow Start, Regigigas's strength is very high, although it's unclear what its exact level is before activation is complete.
But once activated, Regigigas's level is stronger than Palkia and Dialga, provided they are not in their Origin Forme.
And just as Mammon was contemplating how to calm Regigigas down, the Regigigas on the ground seemed to have noticed the Reshiram in the sky.
"Regi!!"
Regigigas, without a word, raised its right arm, and a red-orange energy condensed in its palm.
Hyper Beam!
A massive beam of light tore through the air, aimed directly at Reshiram.
"Dodge."
Reshiram dodged the Hyper Beam immediately.
"How rude, attacking us as soon as it spotted us? Reshiram, are you confident you can defeat it?"
Mammon couldn't help but marvel, asking the Reshiram beneath him.
"Eh? Mammon, this big guy looks so fierce. You should let my brothers fight it instead."
Reshiram was startled, then immediately advised Mammon with a clear telepathic message.
It wasn't because it was afraid of Regigigas in this enraged state, it really wasn't.
It was because such a beautiful and lovely White Dragon like itself shouldn't always be fighting and killing, should it?
It was Mammon's mount, so it had to maintain its image and also protect Mammon's safety.
"You coward, Regigigas can't even fly and you're still scared."
Mammon couldn't help but feel speechless. That's right, Regigigas, like Groudon, also couldn't fly.
They could also be said to be the only two high-level legendaries without the ability to fly.
"Since that's the case…"
Mammon pondered for a moment, then threw out Dark Mewtwo's Poké Ball.
"Mewtwo!"
Dark Mewtwo landed in front of Mammon, its deep purple, flickering eyes looking down at the Regigigas on the ground.
Dark Mewtwo had just gained new power, so it was a good opportunity to test Dark Mewtwo's strength against Regigigas.
"Mewtwo."
A light of evolution shone around Dark Mewtwo, the symbol of Mega Evolution flashed by, and amidst dense purple-black Aura Heart, Dark Mewtwo Y appeared in its place.
Mega Evolution!
A strong, incredibly dense malice permeated the air. Dark Mewtwo Y looked down at its arm.
Power! Surging power was continuously gushing out!
"It evolved?!"
Cynthia looked at Dark Mewtwo Y in the sky in shock. Although its body had clearly shrunk, there was no doubt that the terrifying oppressive feeling made one intuitively feel Dark Mewtwo Y's power.
Dark Mewtwo could actually Mega Evolve too?
Cynthia pursed her lips. Mammon had become even stronger.
"Regi!!"
Regigigas also seemed to sense the threat from Dark Mewtwo Y, and the seven circular holes on its chest began to flash wildly.
Its two thick, massive arms were raised, and energy continuously condensed in its palms.
Hyper Beam!
Two massive Hyper Beams shot out, speeding towards Dark Mewtwo Y.
However, Dark Mewtwo Y merely extended an arm, and a deep purple barrier appeared in front of it.
Rumble!
The Hyper Beams heavily impacted the Psychic barrier and exploded, strong gusts of air sweeping out, and dense smoke filling the air.
Within the smoke, eerie deep purple eyes glowed, and a strong, inexplicable wind howled, dispersing the smoke that obscured their vision.
The unharmed Dark Mewtwo Y's expression remained indifferent.
"Not bad."
Mammon nodded in satisfaction. If it hadn't Mega Evolved, Dark Mewtwo wouldn't have been able to take these two Hyper Beams so easily.
"Once this big guy calms down, I can ask it some things."
Mammon looked at the Regigigas on the ground. In fact, he had always been curious about something, or rather, some conjectures.
Because in Arceus's creation Slate inscriptions, there were these few sentences:
Mind Plate: Before the universe was born, only it breathed alone.
Insect Plate: Where the universe was born, was also its origin.
Earth Plate: When the universe was born, its fragments became Slates.
Meadow Plate: The born Pokémon were granted part of the Slate's power.
Splash Plate: The one who masters the Slate can transform into various forms to wield power.
Flame Plate: The power bestowed upon the Slate is the power of the giants it defeated.
Actually, the meaning of these Slate inscriptions is easy to understand. They introduce the origin of Arceus and this universe, and why later born Pokémon have 'types'.
The so-called 'types' are precisely because the born Pokémon were influenced by the rules of the creation Slate's power.
But the Flame Plate inscription has a very interesting point: 'The power bestowed upon the Slate is the power of the giants it defeated.'
So who is this 'defeated giant'?
Mammon looked at Regigigas. Well, although it's just a guess, it undoubtedly fits the reality quite well.
This could also explain why Regigigas is now burdened with a Slow Start body; it might have been crippled by Arceus.
Not only was its strength crippled, but its body even suffered the lingering effect of difficulty in starting up.
Hmm, Arceus is awesome?
