Lysandre Labs.
"So, this young man is the new boss of Team Rockets?"
Lysandre fell into thought as he watched the finished video. He remembered him; he had seen him at the Sunrise Café.
But at that time, Lysandre, of course, didn't know Mammon, he just felt that this young man had an unusual demeanor.
"Oh? Boss, you've seen him?"
Beside Lysandre, Malva, wearing pink sunglasses, was quite surprised.
That's right, she discovered this video, so she specifically came to Lysandre Labs to let Lysandre watch it too.
After all, Lysandre usually only cared about his ideals and wouldn't have time to watch popular online videos.
He wasn't that idle.
"Ah~ I saw him by chance, but we didn't talk," Lysandre said indifferently.
"Then what do you think, Boss?" Malva valued this more.
"What do you think?" Lysandre retorted.
"Team Rockets is a very serious variable," Malva replied.
"But judging from this video alone, the leader of Team Rockets also seems to have such beautiful ideals, doesn't he?"
Team Rockets' strength was truly astonishing, Malva couldn't help but consider this.
Otherwise, with Team Flare's actions, Team Rockets would definitely not let them off.
"No, Malva, you only see the surface."
Lysandre's majestic face, like a lion, was extremely calm, his eyes glinting.
"Is a person's appearance in front of the camera their true self? This leader of Team Rockets is very smart."
Lysandre's tone was very calm,
"According to the currently known intelligence, he commands Team Rockets, and their footprint has spread to four regions: Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Alola, plus Kanto, their base. Team Rockets' influence is already extremely vast."
"Coupled with the large number of powerful Trainers within Team Rockets, it can be said that it is already strong enough to directly confront the Alliance."
"For such an organization, do you really think this Mammon would have no ambition?"
Although Lysandre had never truly communicated with Mammon and didn't understand him, he completely disbelieved what Mammon said in the interview.
"That's impossible," Malva shook her head.
"That's right, he not only has ambition, but his ambition is very great. He knows very well that the basic structure of this world is built on the Alliance system."
"So he doesn't want a real decisive battle with the Alliance. Therefore, he used this interview to reverse the impression of Team Rockets as an Evil Organization in the minds of the public."
"This way, Team Rockets is no longer an Evil Organization, it won't be universally condemned, and the Alliance has no reason to crusade against Team Rockets."
Lysandre said calmly.
"But the Alliance won't possibly believe Mammon's words," Malva frowned.
"Does that matter?" Lysandre chuckled darkly.
"Team Rockets is too strong now. How much will the Alliance have to pay to completely wipe out Team Rockets?"
"If Team Rockets were still the old Dark Organization that committed all kinds of evil, even if the cost and consequences were severe, the Alliance could make up its mind to clean it up and fight to the death."
"But this interview, the Team Rockets' boss's 'self-narration,' is not only for those foolish commoners, but also a gesture of goodwill to the Alliance."
"Team Rockets will not continue to do evil from now on. Instead, we Team Rockets are Dark Knights who will clear out other Dark Organizations and ensure peace in the underground world."
Lysandre said coldly.
And Malva licked her dry lips, suddenly enlightened.
"Powerful strength, and proclaimed ideals, Team Rockets used these two things to successfully coexist with the Alliance."
"This Mammon is too smart."
Lysandre's eyes flickered continuously, praising without reservation.
"But the Alliance couldn't possibly be unaware of Team Rockets' threat, right? If Team Rockets continues to develop, what if one day they want to overthrow the Alliance?"
Malva still had questions.
"That depends on the private contact between Team Rockets and the Alliance. They will definitely have a secret agreement, but even if they don't directly attack Team Rockets, the Alliance can't do nothing and watch Team Rockets develop to an uncontrollable point."
Lysandre said so.
"But everything is futile, this world… must be cleansed," Lysandre said in a deep voice.
He agreed with the ideals Mammon spoke of in the interview, but Lysandre believed Mammon was still too superficial.
Are the darkness and filth of the world just those Dark Organizations and hunters?
No!! Far from it!
Those foolish, greedy, and vulgar commoners are the true root of evil in this world. Without eliminating them, how can this world present true beauty and cleanliness?
"…" Malva opened her mouth but said nothing.
As an executive of Team Flare, she clearly knew Lysandre's goal, but was it truly right?
Malva was noncommittal; in fact, she didn't know either, but no matter what, she didn't think Lysandre's philosophy had any problems.
So she still acquiesced.
"The plan is almost ready to enter the final stage, Malva, you can return to the organization then."
Lysandre spoke up.
"So fast?"
"Yes, the Zygarde experiment has entered its final stage. Xerosic is already debugging the program, and it's controllable."
"But the other Zigarde core hasn't been found yet, has it?"
Malva frowned.
"Its traces have been discovered. Besides, even if it's not complete, Zygarde's power is invincible."
Lysandre was filled with unparalleled confidence in Zygarde.
"Yveltal's Cocoon of Destruction has also been found. I will have someone transport it to Geosenge Town to activate the ultimate weapon."
"The purification of this world! Let it begin in the Kalos region!"
Lysandre's tone was no longer calm, filled with fanaticism.
His dream was incredibly close!
"Once the Zygarde experiment is completely finished, we will declare to this land that Team Flare's 'purification' has arrived!"
Malva remained silent. Could it really succeed?
Malva looked out the window. She always had a bad premonition.
"By the way, how is that child Alain?"
"His training is almost complete, and his strength is quite good."
Malva replied casually. Alain was a promising young man Lysandre thought highly of.
It had to be said that Lysandre's judgment was indeed good, but in Malva's opinion, that kid was still a bit naive.
His strength, however, had improved very quickly, and he was already Champion Class level.
"Hmm, I hope he doesn't disappoint my expectations," Lysandre nodded.
…
After bidding farewell to the Baraz siblings, the three of Mammon returned to Lumiose City.
By the time they reached Lumiose City, Serena was already waiting in the villa.
"Mammon, you're back."
As soon as the door opened, they saw Serena coming to greet them, and behind Serena was a girl with twin pigtails.
"A few days apart, Serena is still so cute." After teasing Serena for a bit, Mammon looked at the girl beside Serena.
At this moment, the girl was looking at him with excited eyes.
She had healthy tanned skin, delicate features, big eyes, a pink short-sleeved top, and denim hot pants.
Two long, shapely legs, and chestnut long hair tied into twin pigtails.
"Who is this?"
"Hello, Mammon! I'm Shauna, from Vaniville Town, and I'm your fan!"
The girl named Shauna enthusiastically introduced herself to Mammon in an energetic voice.
"Thank you very much for your liking," Mammon responded with a smile.
He remembered now, Shauna, one of Serena's rivals in the game, but compared to the rival Calem, she was actually inferior.
"Shauna is my good friend. After hearing that I joined Team Rockets, she also wanted to join our organization, so I brought her over. Mammon, what do you think?"
Shauna's talent was quite good. Serena felt this could be considered helping the organization recruit a good member.
"Yes! Mammon, I really like Team Rockets, please allow me to join! I will definitely shine and contribute to the organization! Offer my heart!"
Shauna patted her flat chest and promised, her voice quite loud.
Hmm, "Offer my heart to Team Rockets" was a very popular line online recently, and it was unknown where it came from.
Apparently, this girl Shauna spent a lot of time Surfing the internet.
"Shauna!" Serena couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Who taught you to talk like that?
"Haha~ There's no need to offer your heart, it's not that exaggerated. As long as our ideals are consistent and we work together to eliminate Dark Organizations, that's enough."
Mammon also couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh, oh~ Then it's to fight for a clear blue sky!" Shauna saluted very cutely, quoting Mammon's line from the interview.
"Mammon, I'm very capable! Please feel free to give me tasks!"
Shauna was full of enthusiasm. Although she was small, Shauna felt she was very capable.
"Alright, alright, let Serena help you download an app, and then you can choose some tasks to do yourself."
Mammon looked at the legal loli's bouncing twin pigtails; they would probably feel nice to touch.
"Hehe~ ! Thank you, Boss!"
Shauna's smile was very cute, and she immediately changed her address. She felt "Boss" was much more impactful than "Mammon."
"A very interesting young lady," Caitlin couldn't help but comment as she watched Serena take Shauna to fiddle with the phone app.
"Yes, she has a lot of youthful energy, and since she's Serena's good friend, her talent is probably also very good."
Mammon said with a smile, but just then, his phone beeped twice.
"Hmm?"
Mammon took a look; it was a message from Gladion.
"Tsk tsk tsk~ Is it finally starting?"
Mammon looked at it for a moment, and his lips slowly curled into a smirk.
Gladion's message was very simple: according to the undercover researcher at Lysandre Labs' report,
The Zygarde experiment has reached its final stage, and Team Flare has already begun secretly organizing actions!
In other words, the time for Team Flare to reveal itself was not far off!
"I've been waiting for this opportunity~"
Mammon chuckled softly. So, what's next…
Unova region, still Nimbasa City.
"Oh dear~ Days without missions really feel like something is missing."
Rosa, who had just finished training with Hilda, leaned back against the dressing table in her pajamas, her two mounds of fat flattened into pancakes.
Hilda's eyelids twitched wildly on the other side, inwardly cursing, "Stupid cow!!"
"So bored~"
"Don't be bored! A mission has arrived!"
Suddenly, Hilda exclaimed.
"What?" Rosa instantly came alive, immediately took out her phone, and sure enough, a pinned message at the top of the organization's app forum was active.
"Epic Large-Scale Mission: Lumiose City!"
