"Champion Wallace, the reply has been received."
Commander Jenny walked into Wallace's office, only to find that Wallace and Steven separated immediately like thieves.
Commander Jenny tilted her head in confusion, because she observed the embarrassment under Wallace's forced calmness, and the strange and subtle expression on Steven's face.
"Wallace Champion, Mr. Steven, what happened?"
Commander Jenny asked curiously.
"Well, it's nothing, Miss Jenny, please continue."
Wallace coughed dryly, hid the forum interface on the computer screen, controlled his expression and spoke.
"Sinnoh, Galar, and Paldea have all responded. Champion Cynthia will come here in person. Champion Leon is training in the wild and cannot be contacted at the moment. If he can be contacted, Champion Leon can also help."
Commander Jenny's face turned serious.
"As for Padiya, Champion Geeta is unable to spare the time, but she has already informed Champion Nemona, who is willing to come and help."
"As for Carlos, Champion Diantha is unable to come for the time being. Also, in Kanto, the Elite Four of Kanto are also busy, but President Charles Goodshow said that he can send a gym leader to help."
Commander Jenny hesitated.
"Gym Leader?" Wallace was surprised. No, what they needed was champion-level combat power. If he wasn't champion-level, he wouldn't be able to help.
Although Wallace was also the leader of the Glass Gym before, Wallace thinks he is special, right?
Could it be possible that there are champion-level gym leaders in other regions? ?
"Yes, it's Mr. Giovanni, the master of the Viridian Gym. President Charles Goodshow can confirm that Mr. Giovanni is a champion-level fighter."
"…"
Wallace fell into deep thought. Giovanni? Why did he feel that the name sounded familiar?
"Master Giovanni, is he Mammon's father?" Steven's expression was extremely subtle.
"Yes!" Wallace suddenly realized and said that the name Giovanni sounded a little familiar.
"Giovanni is Mammon's father! He was the one who gave birth to Mammon, who was born evil!" Wallace was obviously getting some personal emotions involved.
After all, there would be no Mammon without Giovanni!
"Champion Wallace, please be careful with your words." Commander Jenny looked at Wallace speechlessly.
"Master Giovanni is a very good and responsible gym leader. He was completely unaware of Mammon's affairs before."
Commander Jenny explained helplessly that this was a solemn guarantee from the Kanto Alliance, and Commander Jenny certainly believed in the judgment of the Kanto Alliance.
"Is that so?" Wallace asked doubtfully.
He still felt that the guy who was able to give birth to and raise a naturally evil person like Mammon was a major suspect.
"Well, according to the information... Mammon's joining Team Rocket may have something to do with Master Giovanni's harsh education and training methods. But in the current situation, this is not what Master Giovanni wants. He has always wanted to bring Mammon back to the right path."
Commander Jenny could only answer this way. After all, she had never met Giovanni and Mammon in person. It was only his relative, Commander Kanto Jeeny, who told her this.
"This is a typical example of educational failure." Steven sighed when he heard this.
It's no wonder that Mammon's character is so abstract and bad. Which good person is keen on taking "artistic photos" for others? And he forced a grown man to dress up as a woman to take photos.
Now it seems that his personality has become distorted because of Giovanni's education and training?
But even so, Mammon has not completely fallen to the point of losing his humanity. I wonder if there is still hope...
To be honest, Steven didn't actually have much ill will towards Mammon. Although Mammon's taste was indeed very bad, it could be seen from the fact that he kept his word both times and released him and Wallace as promised.
Mammon did not rely on his power to act recklessly, and he did not hurt them! This is the best evidence.
Otherwise, as an evil organization, Mammon could easily imprison him and Wallace, right? In this case, the Hoenn League would lose two champions and be severely damaged, making it even more impossible to stop the development of Team Rocket.
So... in the final analysis, is it all about Mammon's father Giovanni's failure in education? A young boy who originally had a promising future stepped into an evil organization.
Steven sighed in his heart, what a lamentable thing this was.
"It would be best if Master Giovanni is willing to help," Steven said.
Whether considering Giovanni's strength or Giovanni's identity, Steven felt that they had no reason to refuse.
"Yes, I think so too. If Master Giovanni can convince Mammon to come back, that would be the ideal situation."
Conductor Jenny agreed very much, saying that the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.
"In this case, there are three clear fighting forces joining. Has Brandon been contacted?"
"We've made contact, and Mr. Brandon has successfully subdued Regieleki." Commander Jenny replied with a smile.
"As expected of you, Brandon-senpai." Wallace exclaimed.
"Now we have six champions on our side! I wonder how the Rockets can compete with us!"
Wallace felt that he had already won.
Six champions! And if the Leon champion can come, then there will be seven champions!
What is this concept? It is simply invincible!
The Hoenn Rocket team is indeed very strong, but how many championship-level teams can they play?
Humph! Mammon! Let's see how arrogant you can be this time! !
When I catch you, I will make you wear cat ears and a cat tail and a maid outfit, and take a hundred photos of you!
When Master Wallace thought of that scene, he couldn't help but hum.
"Then I will go and reply to President Charles Goodshow." Commander Jenny nodded.
After Jenny left the office, Wallace immediately switched back to the forum. He and Steven were just looking at a new post by Photographer Mammon.
The title of this post is "Shocked! The two champions of the Hoenn League have this kind of relationship!"
WTF is this headline! Mammon, you really deserve to die!
When Wallace saw this title, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
The content of the post was exactly the 'couple photo' of him and Steven.
But this time, Mr. Wallace's mentality was much more stable. He was mentally prepared, and he felt that his state of mind was as solid as a rock and indestructible.
He even had the mood to judge the quality of the photos.
Master Wallace drew the pictures one by one, and Steven sat on another stool and watched.
"Although it may be a little inappropriate, but Wallace, you are really beautiful in women's clothes."
Steven couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart, and Mammon's photography skills were indeed superb. The angle, light, background, posture, and expression were all captured perfectly.
Steven is handsome, and Wallace looks even more beautiful after putting on women's makeup. The photo of the two of them is really beautiful.
"It's me after all."
Perhaps it was because he had seen too many outrageous comments from fans, or perhaps it was because he was thinking about the upcoming must-win battle against the Rockets, Steven's compliment was really insignificant, and Wallace was even in the mood to respond in such a narcissistic way.
"With such beauty, elegance and dignity, I don't know which girl will have the courage to approach me in the future?"
When he reached the bottom, Wallace couldn't help but sigh deeply. There was nothing he could do, he was just too good-looking.
Those girls would probably feel ashamed when they see him, right? After all, their boyfriends are prettier than themselves, which girl wouldn't feel pressured?
Steven looked at Wallace with a weird look in his eyes. "No, buddy, are you accepting that you're wearing women's clothes?"
Didn't you say before that you would never dress as a woman again in your life?
Beep, beep.
Just then, Wallace's phone rang.
Wallace took a look and a look of hesitation suddenly appeared on his complacent face.
"You're not going to answer it?" Steven took a look and a teasing look appeared on his handsome face.
Because the person who called was Naqi, the owner of Lilicove Gym.
Previously, Wallace and Naqi were a couple, but Naqi felt that Wallace was too outstanding, so outstanding that it suffocated her, so she broke up with Wallace.
And Wallace also respected Juan's choice, and the two have not been in contact since then.
Wallace rolled his eyes at Steven, but still answered the call.
"Master..."
"Wallace..."
On the phone, Juan sounded very hesitant.
"There is no future between men."
"?" Wallace had a question mark on his face.
"You two will never have a child together. I hope you can get back on the right track."
"???"
Master Wallace was struck by lightning.
…
Lilycove City.
"Mr. Maxie, what do you think?"
Mammon looked at Maxie lying on the bed with many plaster casts on his body, and spoke in a humorous tone.
"Give it up, I have no interest in joining your Team Rocket."
Maxie spoke weakly, his tone very calm.
"I'm not a simple-minded guy like Archie. I have dreams."
Although he was paralyzed on one side by the water sycamore, it was obvious that the Maxie still looked down on the water sycamore.
"Oh? Even if there is a chance to avenge your previous humiliation against Archie, you don't want it?" Mammon smiled.
"..." Maxie was silent.
"Mr. Maxie, as you said, you are smarter than Archie. Your Team Magma has now been swallowed up by our Rocket Team."
Mammon spoke slowly, calmly and naturally.
"You are already alone. I won't hide it from you. Your ability is acceptable, but I value your intelligence more. As long as you nod, I can promote you to a senior cadre."
"This is the chance I'm giving you. As long as you work hard to climb up, whether in terms of strength or power, once you surpass Archie, you will naturally be able to avenge these injuries."
"As for your dream... hehe~"
Mammon said this in a sarcastic tone.
"I personally am not interested in which is more important, land or ocean, and I will not laugh at your idea, but it is impossible for you to expect Groudon to help you create land."
"You are just like Archie. Your vision and strength determine your narrow cognition. Do you think you can control Groudon and Kyogre by finding the orb?"
"What a ridiculous and stupid idea. The power of Groudon and Kyogre is far beyond your imagination. If you really awaken these two super ancient legends, you will only fall into despair and regret, because you will be the sinner of the entire Hoenn."
Mammon's ridicule made Maxie's face twist and twitch, but Maxie also fell into deep thought.
"Master Maxie, Master Mammon did not deceive you. I sincerely hope that you can join Team Rocket and use your intelligence and talents."
Courtney, who was standing behind Mammon, spoke sincerely to Maxie.
Maxie habitually wanted to push up his glasses, but he couldn't lift his arms, so he had to give up.
He took a deep look at Courtney, his previously loyal subordinate. He believed that other members of the organization must have joined Team Rocket by now, right?
Maxie sighed in his heart.
"I'm joining Team Rocket. I can prove to you that I'm far better than that brainless idiot Archie."
Maxie said in a deep voice.
His ideal has been shattered, so his only goal now is to step on Archie's head!
"Of course, you are very welcome to join us." Mammon's mouth corners slowly raised.
"After you recover from your injuries, I will assign you a position that will suit you."
After leaving Maxie's ward, Mammon's cell phone rang.
"I see."
After a while, Mammon hung up the phone with a strange look on his face.
"Mammon, what's wrong?" Catlin looked at Mammon strangely. It was rare to see Mammon with this expression.
"The Hoenn League borrowed some champions from other regions to use against us."
Mammon found it a little funny.
"Oh? Several champions?" Catlin was stunned.
"There are currently three confirmed ones, but... one of them is my old Man."
Mammon simply laughed. It would have been fine if he just wanted to hit himself, but he had to hit Giovanni instead.
Catlin's delicate face was very strange.
Isn't this interesting?
Do you want to perform "I will stand in the sky" in front of Lao Man and these champions?
Or should I repeat the 'Giovanni, I have surpassed you' that I performed in front of Red and Blue before?
Mammon thought seriously.
