The Hoenn region is so big, is Team Rocket enough? ?
Silence!
After Mammon finished speaking, the entire Team Magma base fell silent.
"What did you say?"
Finally reacting, Courtney's deep purple pupils were trembling slightly, and he asked back in disbelief.
"Hasn't what I said been clear enough?"
Mammon raised his eyebrows and looked at the short-haired Team Magma leader with interest.
"Let me put it more simply. We, Team Rocket, want the Hoenn region. What kind of rubbish are you, Team Magma and Team Aqua? Ridiculous organization, ridiculous philosophy, and ridiculous people."
Mammon sneered and mocked him bluntly. He really looked down on Team Magma and Team Aqua.
To put it nicely, it is an evil organization, but to put it bluntly, isn't it just an extreme environmental protection organization?
Moreover, the idea is not pure. They clearly want to expand the land and ocean and say they want to create a better world.
But what they actually do is steal other people's Pokémon, steal other people's submarines, invade research institutes, etc.
It's so funny.
What's the point of keeping an incompetent organization led by an incompetent leader?
"What level are you? Are you worthy of being called a dark organization like our Team Rocket?"
Crazy!
Very crazy!
The members of the Team Magma were all furious at this moment. This was tantamount to being ridden and shit on by the other party in front of them!
Lord Courtney! Please say something!
"What a big tone!!"
Courtney was also extremely angry at this moment. Although her face remained expressionless, it could be clearly seen that her bulging chest was rising and falling.
Obviously the emotions are a little out of control.
"You said our Team Magma is trash, I want to see what you Rocket Team are capable of!"
It was difficult for Courtney to accept that her organization was being looked down upon in such a way. She was usually a very calm and clear-headed person.
Before joining the Team Magma, Courtney was a scientist who was only passionate about things that interested him.
And it was precisely because of this that Maxie's dream of creating more land attracted her, so she followed Maxie and also wanted to create a world with more land, loyally.
But now, the ideals of his organization were actually insulted like this, Courtney was angry!
"Tsk~"
Mammon said in amazement.
Seeing that Mammon was still in this frivolous and carefree attitude, Courtney threw his Poké Ball with a cold face.
A Swellow and a Ninetails appeared in front of him.
There was no way. When they were on Chimney Mountain, her Camerupt and Mightyena were knocked down by May.
However, as soon as the two elves appeared, a faint blue light enveloped them.
The Swellow and the Ninetails struggled continuously, but to no avail.
This is a controlled mental power!
When? Courtney looked at the opposite side with an ugly face. It was the armored Pokémon behind the boy! As the armored Mewtwo waved his finger backwards, the Ninetails and Swellow flew out at high speed and smashed heavily into the wall, unable to fall down.
"That's it?" Mammon raised his eyebrows and asked back.
"…"
Looking at the Swellow and Ninetails that had lost their ability to fight, Courtney was completely stunned.
How can he be so strong? ! !
Seeing that even their own cadres were easily killed by the opponent, all the members of the Team Magma were stunned.
"With such low level, how dare you come out to mess around?"
Mammon continues to output.
Courtney pursed her lips tightly. She wanted to refute, but the cruel reality forced her to remain silent.
"Logically, I should have asked all of you to go to the mines to dig, but I am a kind person."
Catlin used her superpowers to control a chair that floated over. Mammon took it and sat down directly, crossing his legs and looking at these people calmly.
"If you follow Team Magma, you will be doomed sooner or later. You have no future. The road and opportunity of life are here. It depends on whether you can seize this opportunity."
Mammon's eyes swept across the dozens of members of the Team Magma in front of him, and finally stopped on a girl with short black hair.
Mammon raised his eyebrows and took a look at her clothes which were different from those of ordinary Team Magma members, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.
"The opportunity is now in front of you. Those who are willing to join the Rockets stand on the left, and those who are not willing stand on the right."
Mammon spoke calmly.
Everyone on the Team Magma looked at each other in confusion, and no one dared to move.
"Didn't you hear what Master Mammon said? Or do you still want me to treat you?"
Gladion spoke coldly, and his cold gaze instantly sobered up the members of the Team Magma.
"My Lord! I want to join Team Rocket!"
"I've been fed up with Team Magma for a long time. I want to join Team Rocket and become bigger and stronger!"
"I was born to join Team Rocket!"
"It's clear which team has a better future. The Rockets are the real chosen team!"
Without too many surprises, most of the Team Magma members stood on the left.
After all, they were just ordinary members of the Team Magma and their loyalty to the Team was not high. It was embarrassing for them to surrender directly even though their former boss Courtney was still around.
But compared to their own safety and being arranged to mine, they still want to protect themselves more.
Anyway, it doesn't matter where you are. The Rockets look pretty cool.
"…"
Seeing that more than 90% of her subordinates had rebelled, and the rest were still struggling, or observing her cautiously, Courtney could not help but tilt her head with a confused look in her eyes.
It seems like she suddenly became a loner???
Time passed quickly, and in just a few minutes, under the intimidation of Silvally and Umbreon, almost all members of Team Magma stood on the left.
The only person left by Courtney's side was a cloaked woman wearing a black tight top and hot pants.
"Lord Courtney, the situation is not right now. How about we pretend to surrender? Don't worry, I will always support you!"
Even facing the current situation, the black-haired woman in the cloak still had a cheerful and fearless smile on her face, and whispered to Courtney.
Courtney's heart was stirred a little. She had an impression of this girl. Her name seemed to be Zinnia, and she had just joined the organization not long ago.
I didn't expect that in this situation, Zinnia could still remain calm.
Courtney thought about it carefully, and then raised his hand expressionlessly.
"I surrender."
If she didn't compromise in this situation, there was no doubt that she would never be able to leave the Team Magma base safely.
Moreover, Courtney also became interested in the three people in front of him. These three people are really too strong.
Are there many such masters in the Rockets?
"Very good, welcome to all new colleagues. You have all made a wise choice. I think you will not regret it."
Mammon clapped in satisfaction.
"Compared to Team Magma, believe me, you will get more by joining Team Rocket."
"Our organization does not have any empty ideals. We just want to take over more territory, make more money, live a better life, and gain more power!"
Mammon stood up. This is the difference between Team Rocket and other organizations.
Starting from Giovanni, Team Rocket's goal has always been very practical, to use Pokémon by any means necessary to make money and then control the world!
Of course, Mammon's goal remained unchanged, but he cut short some of his inhumane plans.
There's nothing wrong with playing dirty, but you can't have no bottom line, although Mammon's bottom line is not high either.
But at least he won't be a pure beast.
Courtney has a blank expression on his face. Are they the Team Magma hypocritical?
Courtney thought carefully in his heart.
"Gladion, you take them to count, and then you and I, both of you, follow me."
Mammon handed the team over to Gladion and named Courtney and Zinnia.
After saying that, Mammon took Catlin and prepared to leave the base. Damn, it was too hot in here. Not only was it hot, but it was also stuffy, making people feel uncomfortable all over.
Courtney and Zinnia naturally followed, after all, Mammon was obviously the leader among the three opponents.
"Phew~ It's still more comfortable outside. Much more comfortable."
Coming outside, Mammon breathed a sigh of relief. Although the air here was not very fresh, it was much more comfortable than inside the Team Magma base.
"I really don't know what you guys in the Team Magma were thinking. You think you can use this underground base near a volcano? Aren't you afraid of getting sick from being stuck in there?"
Mammon complained.
Courtney: "..."
And Zinnia nodded in implicit agreement. She couldn't figure it out, but in the end she could only attribute it to the fact that the people of Team Magma were mentally ill.
"Mammon... Sir, is there something you want us to come out for?"
Courtney skipped the topic and asked Mammon in a tender and lovely voice.
She is really dedicated and even calls Mammon "sir", which shows that she is very clear about the change in her position.
"I want to talk to you about something. Let's find a place to eat first, and then we can talk. Also, change your clothes."
Mammon glanced at Courtney. It didn't matter if Shijiana was there, but Lord Courtney, wearing the unique uniform of the Team Magma, couldn't enter the town.
Courtney was silent again, but still nodded in agreement. What on earth did she want to do by opening the door?
After Courtney changed his coat, the four of them headed to LavaridgeTown.
Because the firefight between the Team Magma and the Team Aqua has ended, the alert in Lavaridge Town is not that serious.
Even Mammon didn't see Flannery and the leader Miss Jenny.
After entering Lavaridge Town, the four found a restaurant and booked a private room. Mammon prepared to eat something first as he was a little hungry.
"Team Rocket has just arrived in the Hoenn region and everything is just getting started, so now is the time to use people."
After finishing eating, Mammon looked at the two women opposite him.
Courtney obviously had no appetite, and she didn't touch much of the food on the table. On the contrary, Zinnia was not polite at all, and ate happily with oil dripping from her mouth.
Courtney couldn't understand why Zinnia was so careless? Mammon and Catlin were sitting opposite her!
Aren't you worried about safety at all?
"I won't hide it. You two are both talented people. I can make use of you and let you shine."
Mammon tapped the tabletop rhythmically with his fingers, his eyes fixed on Courtney.
"I look down on Team Magma and Team Aqua, not only because of your ridiculous organizational philosophy, but also because of the strength of your organizations. Even Maxie's level is not considered strong among the Elite Four level. What can he do?"
"Lord Maxie, he..."
When Courtney heard Mammon mocking Maxie, his cold expression changed slightly.
But Mammon had no interest in listening to her and simply waved her off.
"Do you know how many people are in Team Rocket? There are more than ten high-ranking officers alone, and the minimum standard for high-ranking officers is to be at the Elite Four level or Quasi-Elite Four level."
Mammon said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Courtney's purple pupils shrank, and even Zinnia, who was eating and drinking in a leisurely and comfortable manner, couldn't help but stop for a moment.
There are more than two dozen high-ranking cadres, and most of them are at the Elite Four level? ?
Shit!
Is this the configuration that an evil organization should have? Zinnia was shocked.
In this comparison, what kind of rubbish are the Team Magma and the Team Aqua? No wonder the other side looks down on the Team Magma.
If Zinnia came by herself, she felt that she could be more arrogant than Mammon!
"You have no future if you follow that loser Maxie. Think about it carefully. Of course, I won't let you leave."
Mammon said to Courtney that he didn't think much of Courtney's strength, but he still had some abilities. The Rocket Team is short of people now, so they should use him if possible.
Courtney fell into deep thought.
"And then there's you."
Mammon turned his gaze to Zinnia, who gave Mammon a big, fearless smile, her white teeth contrasting sharply with her wheat-colored face.
This person... doesn't seem to be afraid at all? Catlin took a sip of tea and looked at Zinnia in surprise. She was paying attention to the two of them. Unlike Courtney's heavy mood, Zinnia seemed to be very relaxed throughout the whole process.
It seems that he is not worried about danger at all?
This is very abnormal.
"Does Lord Mammon have any advice for me?" Zinnia even asked proactively.
"I won't go through with all that nonsense with you, Zinnia. You can make any conditions you want to join Team Rocket."
Mammon took out a gold badge from his pocket, threw it to Zinnia and said.
Zinnia took the badge and looked at it curiously. The badge was very delicate, with delicate patterns on the edges and a capital 'r' in the middle.
Catlin's expression changed instantly, and she looked at the badge and Zinnia in astonishment.
This is the highest-ranking cadre identification card in Team Rocket!
Currently, only Mammon and Giovanni have it in the entire Team Rocket, which also proves a point.
This Zinnia is a champion-level trainer?!
A small theater:
Courtney: Lord Maxie can't do it, but Lord Mammon, can you?
Mammon: I'm awesome! Let's fight! The two of them fought until the sky was dark and their shoes flew out of the window.
The next day, Catlin looked at Courtney who had fainted on Mammon's bed and fell into deep thought.
