"It seems to have calmed down a bit."
Mammon looked at the quiet Zygarde Core and put away the celestial flute, looking very satisfied.
Zygarde Core was silent. It looked at Mammon with surprise and uncertainty. That was indeed Arceus's Aura Heart of origin, there was no mistake.
In other words, this human was recognized by Arceus…
To be recognized by Arceus, it meant this human must have something special.
So Zygarde Core decided to give him a chance to explain, otherwise, it wouldn't be good if they had a misunderstanding, right?
Hmm, no problem.
"Mewtwo, put it down."
Mammon greeted Dark Mewtwo Y.
Dark Mewtwo Y lowered its arm, and the Psychic restraining Zygarde Core dissipated. Zygarde Core landed again, immediately jumping in front of Zygarde Core and cautiously staring at Mammon.
"Don't look at me so warily, I won't hurt your other half."
"The moment I came over, I saw you attacking my other half!"
Zygarde Core instinctively started to bare its teeth and hiss again, clearly very angry about this point.
"I can understand your concern for your other half, but you keep hissing at me, which is really a bit impolite."
Mammon raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, I did attack it, but why don't you think about it? Your other half's negative emotions were off the charts, and it was controlled by an Evil Organization. If I didn't defeat it, what would happen to this City and the innocent people in it?"
"…" Zygarde Core was silent.
"And I also rescued it from the hands of evil people, didn't I?"
"But in the end, it was you humans who hurt it!"
Zygarde Core was still very unconvinced, and no matter how you put it, wasn't it still humans who hurt Zygarde Core?
"That's true, but no matter what creature it is, there will always be inherently evil existences. As a monitor of ecological order, Zigarde, you should be very clear about this."
Mammon did not deny it; it was indeed Team Flare that hurt Zygarde Core.
"I have already sent people to capture those humans who harmed your other half. They will all pay the price for this, repaying these sins with their entire lives."
"Zygarde Core, how do you think about this?"
Seeing that Zygarde Core did not answer, it seemed that it was still not satisfied with this.
"If you think this is not enough, you can suggest a solution. I'll hand them over to you for disposal. Will you kill them?"
Mammon asked again.
Zygarde Core glanced at the still unconscious Zygarde Core. This was its other half.
Zygarde is a very mysterious Pokémon, because its inherent duty is to protect the ecological order, so Zygarde can naturally transform into thousands.
It can transform its body into countless cells and spread them everywhere to monitor the ecosystem, but Zygarde cells have no consciousness whatsoever.
They are only responsible for monitoring, and once the ecological order has a problem, the Zygarde Core will gather the cells and re-form into Zygarde to correct everything.
The Zygarde Core, which are Zygarde Core and Zygarde Core, are originally one entity. Although they have their own consciousness, they are indeed one entity.
Seeing 'itself' in such a miserable state, how could Zygarde Core not be angry?
But the calmed-down Zygarde Core naturally knew that this couldn't be blamed on Mammon.
Well, of course, the main issue was that this human in front of him was recognized by Arceus and given a gift.
Even if it really wanted to vent its anger, Zygarde Core had no reason to vent it on this person.
As for killing those people?
What's the point? For Zygarde, it wants to punish more than just the culprits.
"For your sake, I will not intervene this time. If there is a next time, I will absolutely not spare the humans on this land!"
If it weren't for Mammon's appearance, Zygarde Core would definitely have transformed into its complete form and wreaked havoc.
To make its other half look like this, did they really think Zygarde was easy to bully?
"Alright, if there's a next time, I won't interfere." Mammon nodded.
Zygarde Core left with Zygarde Core. The dog-shaped Zygarde Core carried Zygarde Core and jumped agilely, quickly disappearing from Mammon's sight.
Mammon shook his head at this. He had originally wanted to have a good relationship with Zygarde, but it was clear that Zygarde was a bit emotional right now, and the opportunity wasn't right.
"It's basically over, Diantha, I've done what I promised you."
Mammon glanced at his phone, Platinum and the others had also resolved their situation.
"Hmm, thank you."
Diantha nodded.
Then she looked back at the devastated City and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"Was there really a winner in this battle?"
Diantha couldn't help but ask herself, did they win? Where did they win?
Although Lumiose City survived, the City, which was largely destroyed, would take time to rebuild.
And there were countless people who were frightened and injured.
Zygarde Core was innocently harmed and forcibly ripened, and Zygarde Core almost retaliated against humans because of it.
If it weren't for Mammon, perhaps the entire Lumiose City would have been erased from the map by Zygarde.
"Don't be so sad. Look on the bright side, at least Team Flare, this extremist organization, has been found and eliminated."
Mammon patted Diantha's rounded shoulder, smiling and comforting her.
"Otherwise, if Lysandre had kept hiding, he might have caused an even greater disaster in the future."
"Hmm." Diantha nodded, taking a deep breath.
Mammon was right, Team Flare, such an extremist and fanatical Evil Organization, was too terrifying.
It was also fortunate that he exposed himself in advance, otherwise, the losses might have been even greater.
The crisis was finally completely resolved. Although there were still some scattered Team Flare members resisting in the City, they were all quickly brought under control.
"Mammon, Mammon~"
The girl's clear call was very loud, and Mammon looked to the left.
Rosa and the others were jogging over at this moment.
"Everyone, you've worked hard. You all look unharmed, which is good."
Mammon showed a gentle smile.
"Hehe~ Mammon, we caught a total of seven Team Flare executives, including Lysandre!"
Rosa giggled, proudly raising her little head.
"Oh? You did very well. Thanks to you, Team Flare's evil plan did not succeed."
"We protected this City! We protected the entire Kalos region!"
Mammon nodded in satisfaction.
"Next, please continue to help this City maintain order, and there are so many plants that also need to be cleared."
"Otherwise, Lumiose City will not be habitable."
Mammon glanced at the huge twisted plants that pierced through the walls around them. These were all left behind by the enraged Zygarde.
It was indeed very strange that Zygarde, which maintains order and ecology, would have the ability to control plants.
Zygarde itself is Dragon/Ground type, or is it because of Zygarde's Aura Heart Break ability concept? Or is it because of the 'ecology' concept?
But that was irrelevant now. While the complete Zygarde was very cool, it seemed very difficult to capture Zygarde at the moment.
After all, after this incident, both Zygarde Core and Zygarde Core had a very low opinion of humans.
"Okay, okay, then we'll go help."
Hearing this, Platinum and the others were very motivated, as this was doing good deeds.
"Hmm, I've already greeted Ms. Diantha, you can go."
Mammon smiled and nodded.
"Lysandre, Malva, Aliana, Bara, Momiji, Scientist Celosia, Alain? So indeed, Kuseroski isn't here."
Mammon squinted slightly. Alain was actually there, which was a bit surprising to Mammon.
But it wasn't particularly important, was it? Mainly, in the anime, Alain was Ash's rival, and in the Lumiose City tournament finals, Ash's Greninja lost to Alain's Charizard. When he saw this back then, he still felt a bit unresolved.
He wondered if there would be a chance to see Ash and Alain's battle in this world, but Mammon felt that it wouldn't be too difficult for Ash in this world to defeat Alain.
Alain's talent was very good, but it could only be considered very good. Compared to those 'monsters', he still couldn't compare.
Platinum and the others left first to help the Alliance maintain order and also clear out the plants left by the rampaging Zygarde.
This was very good, as it would deepen the public's impression of Team Rockets.
You know, without Team Rockets, would the Kalos Alliance alone be able to deal with Team Flare? That would be truly difficult.
Team Rockets were the heroes who saved Lumiose City!
"Do you want to go see the prisoners?"
Caitlin asked Mammon.
"No hurry, let's go to a place first."
Mammon shook his head. Lysandre and these prisoners had all been transported away and imprisoned by Team Rockets, but Mammon was not in a hurry.
The most important thing right now was another matter.
Geosenge Town, at this moment, there were no residents in Geosenge Town, because this Town had been occupied by a Team Flare squad.
And in the center of Geosenge Town, a huge machine stood prominently, its shape looking like a blooming flower.
This was the ultimate weapon!
"Damn it! Our boss and the others were all captured, have we failed?"
Inside a secret base near Geosenge Town, a burly man in an orange Team Flare uniform gritted his teeth.
He was Kuseroski, the only surviving Team Flare executive, and the only male scientist among the Team Flare executives.
After the plan started, he came to Geosenge Town to prepare, and as a result, he became the only Team Flare executive who was not arrested.
"No! There's still a chance! The ultimate weapon is still in my hands! As long as the ultimate weapon can be activated, the boss's dream can still be realized!"
Kuseroski quickly calmed down. That's right, even though Boss Lysandre and the others were all 'unreachable', it didn't matter!
The ultimate weapon could still be activated, and a beautiful world could still be born!
Once this dream was accomplished, he could also continue researching his battle suit.
But the problem now was…
Activating the ultimate weapon required Yveltal's energy. Team Flare had indeed found Yveltal's cocoon of destruction and transported it to the base.
But how to control Yveltal and inject its energy into the ultimate weapon?
Lysandre hadn't told him this point. Originally, if Zygarde was present, using Zygarde to suppress Yveltal would have been feasible.
But Zygarde wasn't here now either.
"If I wake it up directly and discuss it with it, will it listen?"
Kuseroski looked at the black and red cocoon on the monitor screen and couldn't help but consider this possibility.
After all, he really had no other choice.
Legend has it that Yveltal is synonymous with death and destruction, so its personality is probably quite violent?
So Kuseroski was indeed a bit troubled. If he woke up Yveltal, what if it attacked him?
"Never mind! Ali, you go in and wake up Yveltal."
After much thought, Kuseroski decided to just wake up Yveltal first. Maybe Yveltal would be easier to talk to?
But for such an important task as waking up Yveltal, he, as an executive, certainly couldn't do it himself.
"Ah? Sir, me?"
The Team Flare member named Ali shivered, pointing to himself, feeling very guilty.
"What's there to be afraid of? If I'm not afraid, why are you afraid?"
Kuseroski glared at Ali, then confidently reassured him.
"Go ahead, I'm watching here. If anything unexpected happens, I'll support you."
"A mere Yveltal can't cause much trouble."
