"I am Mr. Mammon, the Team Rocket Leader!"
Undoubtedly, this introduction now held a completely different meaning!
The cameraman, no longer afraid, steadily controlled the camera while giving Mr. Mammon a thumbs-up.
"From joining Team Rockets to becoming the Team Rocket Leader himself! Mr. Mammon, you are truly amazing~!"
Alexa genuinely praised Mr. Mammon with a tone of admiration, from the bottom of her heart.
Wasn't it true?
"Upon witnessing the darkness, you did not shy away, but chose to immerse yourself in it, attempting to change it."
"You flatter me," Mr. Mammon replied with a smile.
"Then, may I ask you another question now, Mr. Mammon?"
Alexa pondered for a moment; in reality, no matter how the rest of the interview went,
Mr. Mammon's recent recounting of his 'personal experiences and insights' was already explosive enough.
She believed that once this interview was released, it would definitely cause a huge sensation!
But Alexa felt it wasn't perfect enough.
"You have already taken control of the entire Team Rockets. For you personally, do you feel you have succeeded?"
Alexa asked curiously.
"Not yet," Mr. Mammon shook his head.
"Team Rockets is just the beginning. This applies to both me and the nascent Team Rockets."
"When I joined Team Rockets, I understood that this was destined to be a difficult path, but I always firmly believed that I would succeed."
"Even if I am misunderstood, even if I am feared, even if I am obstructed, I will not waver."
Mr. Mammon spoke slowly with a smile, but his eyes and tone were completely different—passionate and fervent.
"Team Rockets' goal is to eliminate all evil forces in the world! To make this world once again filled with the 'beauty' everyone hopes for."
"I have always longed for one thing."
Mr. Mammon's tone gradually calmed, returning to serenity.
"My first journey in life allowed me to grow, and it showed me the true face of the world, even if it wasn't what I wanted to see."
"But I hope that in the future, I can embark on another journey, one without any shadows along the way, but a pure, clean, and beautiful journey."
"Before that, I will not stop, and Team Rockets will not stop."
"Everything is for a clear and blue world!"
Alexa got goosebumps again!
What a magnificent ideal! What a magnificent realization! What a magnificent action!
"That was wonderfully said! Mr. Mammon, I sincerely hope that you can achieve your ideal," Alexa said from the bottom of her heart.
She truly felt that her interview today was absolutely the right decision!
Otherwise, she might have been influenced by Team Rockets' past reputation and felt apprehensive upon learning that Mr. Mammon was the Team Rocket Leader.
But after hearing Mr. Mammon's account, she felt that the world's prejudice against Team Rockets was still too great.
Alexa then asked a few irrelevant questions, and the half-hour interview concluded.
"Mr. Mammon, thank you very much for agreeing to my interview."
"You're welcome, Miss Alexa, you've also worked hard."
Mr. Mammon was also very pleased with his 'performance' today and shook hands with Alexa very politely.
"It's no trouble at all. As a reporter, being able to interview a prominent figure like you is, for us, a great honor."
Alexa was still somewhat emotional at this moment, gazing at the handsome young man before her.
She truly hadn't expected that such a person existed in this world.
Perhaps, as he himself said, he was the one who would change the world's pattern.
"Then I won't disturb you further. I'll go back to the company to organize today's material, and I'll prioritize sending it to you for review."
Alexa still remembered what she had agreed upon with Mr. Mammon earlier.
She planned to skip dinner today and work through the night to produce this interview video!
"Mr. Mammon, if you have time, you can visit Santalune City. I will certainly give you a good reception."
Viola's attitude towards Mr. Mammon had completely changed, and she waved at him very cheerfully.
She now felt deeply ashamed of her malicious thought last night that Mr. Mammon was an evil leader.
Mr. Mammon was clearly a good person with such a grand ambition.
She deserved to die!!
"I'll definitely go if I have time," Mr. Mammon replied with a sunny smile.
He escorted the Alexa sisters and the cameraman to the door, watching their figures gradually disappear from sight.
Mr. Mammon subtly clicked his tongue, a slow grin spreading across his lips. Now there was truly some fun to be had.
Meanwhile, the three, Alexa, were still discussing what Mr. Mammon had just said on their way back.
"I never thought that Mr. Mammon, at such a young age, could possess such a realization. Indeed, the gap between people is too vast."
Viola spoke, feeling quite ashamed. She considered herself to have potential, after all, she had become a Gym Leader for Kalos's official organization.
But that was all. She usually dealt with challengers, and in her free time, she took photos and videos.
She had never even considered things like the world, darkness, or the true goodness and beauty of human nature.
"Some people are born to do great things. There's no comparison. Someone like Mr. Mammon comes along only once in many years."
Alexa shook her head; she didn't think there was anything to compare.
Just like herself, Alexa knew deeply that she wasn't cut out to be a Trainer, so she chose her beloved profession as a reporter.
For her to save the world? Was she worthy?
Everyone has things they can and cannot do, and Mr. Mammon was the kind of person who could do them.
"Hmm~ But sister, why doesn't Mr. Mammon cooperate with the Pokemon League?" Viola asked, puzzled.
This was the most peculiar point to her.
According to what Mr. Mammon had said during the interview, his original intention was undoubtedly good, and his ideal was also correct.
But why didn't he cooperate with the Pokemon League?
"This… who knows?" Alexa fell silent for a moment.
She couldn't figure it out either, but the only possible explanation might be a lack of trust?
Or perhaps, the Pokemon League didn't want to see the rise of Team Rockets either?
"This isn't something we should be thinking about, Viola, don't dwell on it," Alexa decisively stopped thinking about it.
Team Rockets and the Pokemon League…
This wasn't her concern. She only needed to know that once this interview was publicly broadcast, she, Alexa, would become famous!
"Oh, oh, oh," Viola nodded.
"Let's hurry back and produce the video as soon as possible."
Alexa couldn't wait any longer.
What Alexa and the other two didn't notice was the woman in white attire walking from another intersection.
"Alexa and Viola? Why are they here?"
Diantha, preoccupied, looked at the receding figures of Alexa and the two others, finding it very strange.
This place wasn't far from Mr. Mammon's villa. They wouldn't be here to see Mr. Mammon, would they?
She had clearly hinted to Alexa yesterday to stay away from Mr. Mammon, so it shouldn't be.
Alexa was still quite clever.
Diantha shook her head and continued walking towards Mr. Mammon's villa.
Inside the villa.
Serena, Platinum, and Caitlin had all gone to the backyard, while Mr. Mammon was looking at the Kalos map on the coffee table, seemingly deep in thought.
Ding-dong~
The doorbell rang.
"Fini, open the door," Mr. Mammon said without lifting his head. He knew who was ringing the doorbell.
Fini floated up and opened the door with its Psychic power.
"Change your shoes and come in."
Diantha changed her shoes and entered the living room.
"It seems Miss Diantha has made her choice?" Mr. Mammon looked at Diantha with interest.
"I agree to your terms, according to our agreement…"
Diantha's voice was heavy. She had struggled with her thoughts all day yesterday, resulting in a sleepless night.
She truly had the resolve to make sacrifices for the land of Kalos and its people, but she hadn't expected that it would involve sacrificing her virtue!
She was only in her twenties now, her acting career was booming, and she had reached the pinnacle of the Trainer profession in the Kalos region.
Her life should have been getting better and better.
But how did it come to this?
As for bringing the Alexa and Viola sisters, Diantha couldn't do such a thing; she was the Champion of the Kalos region.
"Of course, as long as you agree, Team Rockets will absolutely remain stable, and we can coexist peacefully."
Mr. Mammon said with a smile.
"So, Miss Diantha, do you know what to do next?"
"Now?!"
Diantha's expression changed slightly, looking at Mr. Mammon with shock.
It was daytime now!
"Is there a problem?" Mr. Mammon raised an eyebrow.
"…Alright," Diantha's chest heaved as she took a deep breath.
"I truly didn't expect that you, Mammon, a figure like yourself, would be such a lecher."
Diantha finally couldn't resist and sneered.
Actually, anyone who knew her knew that she had a very good personality and temper, but at this moment, she felt truly uncomfortable.
Especially when she thought about what was about to happen to her.
"Oh?" Mr. Mammon couldn't help but chuckle, then he thought for a moment.
Originally, he had thought of saying, 'I was just going to ask you to wash my feet, are you full of dirty thoughts?'
To see Diantha's embarrassed and annoyed expression that way, but it seemed a bit uninteresting.
"Never mind. The Kalos Champion, just enough to pass the afternoon."
Mr. Mammon was too lazy to play games. Diantha's preferences weren't particularly aligned with his, but it was still somewhat enjoyable.
"Come with me."
Mr. Mammon led Diantha into his room.
Diantha followed, her expression like that of a warrior going to their execution.
Twenty minutes later…
"Tsk~ She fainted already? So fragile and useless."
Mr. Mammon glanced at the unconscious Diantha. How should he put it? A bit moist, but her combat power was a bit lacking.
And she kept whimpering and asking him to be gentler, which was truly unbearable.
After a quick wash, Mr. Mammon returned to the living room, looking at the Kalos map.
Although he wasn't entirely satisfied and it wasn't completely exhilarating, at least he had some fun.
Mr. Mammon was in a good mood now.
"The ultimate weapon is definitely in Geosenge Town. I just don't know if Lysandre will choose Yveltal or Xerneas to activate it."
Mr. Mammon pondered.
The ultimate weapon's activation required a large amount of energy, and both Yveltal and Xerneas could be used to power it.
And to gain eternal life, Xerneas's energy was necessary.
Mr. Mammon, of course, wanted to seize this opportunity to bask in the light of the ultimate weapon. Why wouldn't he want a chance at eternal life?
Now, he just didn't know what Lysandre was thinking, but it didn't matter. If Lysandre wasn't capable, then Mr. Mammon would do it himself.
He would seize the ultimate weapon, then capture Xerneas and use it to power the ultimate weapon.
Mr. Mammon would not be polite at all.
"Tsk~ I wonder what kind of expressions my dad and the others will have when they see my interview video."
Then Mr. Mammon thought of his interview again, feeling a bit regretful that he couldn't see Wallace's expressions on the spot.
Speaking of which…
Mr. Mammon rested his chin on his hand, considering another possibility.
"They wouldn't actually believe the nonsense I just made up, would they?"
