—------------------—
In Viridian City, Giovanni is in a good mood today.
Because yesterday evening, his youngest son Silver finally returned to Viridian City, and the father and son who had been separated for ten years were finally reunited.
Although it is inevitable that there will be some unchangeable unfamiliarity at first because it is a reunion after a long separation, this is not a problem.
As long as this child is indeed his son, Giovanni believes that they will become close.
And the fact is indeed so. Silver does not resist him. It can even be said that Silver, who has a relatively cold temperament, is actively accepting him as a father.
"Father, can I contact my friend to come here?"
At the dinner table, Silver suddenly asked Giovanni.
"Of course you can. This is your home, Silver. You can bring your friends here to visit and rest. But it would be convenient for your father to ask, who are your friends?" Giovanni responded with a smile.
"Yes, she is one of my sisters. It is Sister Green who has taken care of me over the years. If it weren't for her, I don't know what I would be like now." Silver whispered.
"Sorry... Silver, it's all my fault." Giovanni's smile slowly faded and he sighed to Silver.
"It's okay, father, that man..." Silver looked a little gloomy. He knew that his father should be very strong.
After all, Giovanni is known as the 'strongest gym leader in Kanto', but compared to that masked man...
"Let's not talk about those sad things, Silver. Since she is your sister, then you should invite her over and let her treat this place as her second home."
Giovanni noticed that Silver was in a bad mood, and immediately changed the subject, smiling gently.
"good!"
Silver smiled and immediately picked up his phone and called Green.
"Moshi Moshi~Silver, what's wrong?" Green's cheerful voice suddenly came over.
"Sister Green, I found my family!" Silver's voice was filled with joy.
"Hey? Really? Congratulations, Silver!" Green was also very surprised.
"Well, I told my father that I want you to come to my house, at the Viridian Gym in Viridian City. I..."
"Wait, Silver, where is your home?" Green's voice revealed astonishment.
"Viridian Gym." Silver was a little confused. Is there any problem?
"Viridian Gym...who is Mammon to you then?"
Green couldn't help but recall the black-haired boy she met in Celedon City, and his depressing strength.
Green still remembers it vividly. It was the first time she had seen such a powerful peer.
"Mammon is my brother, what's wrong, Sister Green ?"
Silver was sensitive to begin with, and he had already sensed something was wrong.
"Um, didn't Master Giovanni tell you about Mammon..."
Green was a little embarrassed. She probably guessed that Giovanni probably didn't tell Silver about Mammon.
Green could understand it, after all, Silver had just found his family.
Silver frowned, hung up Green's phone, and walked back to the dining table.
"Father."
"What's wrong, Silver?" Giovanni noticed keenly that there was something wrong with Silver's expression.
"Brother...are you hiding something from me?" Silver asked in a low voice.
"…" Giovanni frowned slightly.
He did not tell Silver directly. After all, even Giovanni did not know how to start telling Silver about this matter.
"It's father's fault." Giovanni sighed.
"It was my neglect of caring for Mammon that led to him joining Team Rocket."
boom!!
It was like a bolt from the blue. Silver's pupils dilated and he looked at Giovanni in shock.
What did he just hear?
"Brother... joined Team Rocket?"
His gentle and kind brother is actually a member of the evil organization Team Rocket?
"This... is impossible."
Silver couldn't believe it. He could still clearly remember Mammon's gentle smile and voice, as well as that extremely warm embrace from two days ago.
But now he was told that such a gentle brother was actually an evil person.
Silver's face looked extremely ugly. How could he believe it?
…
Whirlpool Islands.
"The sunshine is so nice. Unfortunately, the environment here is still not as good as Alola."
Mammon lay on the reef, his hands behind his head, gazing at the endless blue sea with deep emotion.
The sea on the Kanto side is also clear and blue. The sunlight shines down, and the sparkling sea surface is very beautiful.
But unfortunately, there are no beautiful golden beaches and coconut trees here, so it's still a bit lacking.
"The Alola Sea? I heard it's beautiful."
May smoothed her hair that was blown by the sea breeze, and her beautiful eyes were a little hazy.
Without the kimono and black wig, she has long wavy dark blue hair, looking mature and charming.
Beside May, Zuki hugged her legs, staring at the sea in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
Because of the "responsibility" passed down from their ancestors, they have never left Johto. Alola's beaches and seas are world-famous.
Unfortunately, I haven't been there.
"Actually, the ocean isn't much different, but the beaches and tropical atmosphere there are definitely worth a visit. I'd take you there if I get the chance."
Mammon said to May with a smile.
May was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Mammon's face in a daze.
"I don't know when that little guy will take the bait. Forget it, let's just fish."
Mammon glanced at the sea and saw a big mechanical duck swimming around on the sea.
Well, this was something Mammon came up with to seduce little Lugia.
Unfortunately, more than 20 minutes have passed and there is still no sign of little Lugia.
Mammon was also helpless, but it didn't matter. There were so many ways to relieve boredom at the beach.
Mammon asked a Team Rocket member to bring two fishing rods, and he and Catlin started fishing.
The waters of the Whirlpool Islands are very rich in water resources, and the fish here grow very well.
Well, it would be better if they weren't all the same length.
The first one is a big red carp.
The second one is a big red carp.
The third one is a big red carp.
Until the tenth one, it was still a big red carp that could only splash and jump in the water.
The Mammon people were completely stunned. Is there only Magikarp in this sea? Even some goldfish would be fine.
May and Zuki couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle, and Catlin also smiled slightly, although her battle results were worse than Mammon's.
But at least what he caught was a Shellder, not a Magikarp, right?
"It's bitten again."
Mammon felt the force coming from the fishing rod and stood up immediately.
"That's a lot of strength. It's definitely not Magikarp this time."
Mammon was very confident because he could feel that it was a big fish that took the bait this time.
"Yeah! Come on, Lord Mammon!" May cooperated very well and cheered.
Seeing the right moment, Mammon pulled the fishing rod hard, and a golden figure was pulled out of the sea and fell heavily on the shore.
"Emm..."
Mammon put down his fishing rod and looked at the golden Pokémon jumping around on the ground with a puzzled look.
How should I say it?
"It's Magikarp again." Mammon took out the Poké Ball speechlessly, ready to capture this Pokémon.
That's right, this is another Magikarp, but the difference is that this Magikarp is covered in gold.
This is a different colored Magikarp!
"Shining Magikarp! Master Mammon, you are truly amazing!"
May covered her mouth in surprise. Although Magikarp is a very common Pokémon, you can see a lot of it in rivers and streams.
But the Shiny Magikarp is also extremely rare!
"My luck is pretty good." Mammon threw the advanced ball and directly captured the shiny Magikarp.
But looking at the high-end ball in his hand, he couldn't help but feel troubled. He didn't know whether he should train it.
After all, it was a 'Golden Legend' that he had spent quite some time to catch, and Gyarados was pretty strong.
However, his main force in hand has long been overflowing, and it seems that he now has a bit too much water main force.
There are already three of them: Tapu Fini, Suicune, and Kyogre. If we train this Shiny Magikarp, we will have four main water-type forces.
He was still a little uncomfortable with the title of Water Champion.
"Forget it, just take it first."
Mammon thought about it and decided to put away Shiny Magikarp's Poké Ball and put it in his pocket. Mega Gyarados is quite strong and can be used occasionally.
"Mammon! Look what I caught!"
Suddenly, Catlin's surprised voice came over.
"What kind of Pokémon is this?"
Mammon looked over after hearing the sound, but when he saw the little white thing on the ground for the first time, he was stunned.
Its overall appearance resembles both a flying bird and a dragon. It is white in color, has a mask-like structure on its face, and its belly is light blue.
It was not very big, only about 0.6 meters long. At this moment, it sat on the ground with its two small wings drooping, and its big watery eyes stared at Catlin.
"Woo~"
The little guy purred sweetly at Catlin.
"…"
Mammon was speechless. He took out the Shiny Magikarp's Poké Ball and looked at it for a few seconds, then looked at the cute little guy that Catlin had caught.
May and Zuki frowned and looked at the little guy with confusion and disbelief.
Especially May, she took out an ancient book from her bag, which was left by her ancestors.
"Mammon, do you know this Pokémon? I can feel that it seems to have super powers."
Catlin asked Mammon softly. She quite liked this cute little guy.
Moreover, as a psychic, she could also sense that this little guy had psychic powers, and should be a psychic-type Pokémon.
This way she can be trained.
"How should I put it?"
Mammon held his chin and slowly walked over to the little duck sitting on the ground and squatted down.
"Woo?" The little guy tilted his head and looked at Mammon curiously.
"I know! This is..."
May finally found the page with the picture. After strict comparison, she finally confirmed it and spoke out excitedly.
She was a little skeptical when she first saw it, but the gap between reality and her imagination was too big.
But now that it was confirmed, she couldn't help but feel excited.
"This is Lugia!!"
"???"
After hearing May's words, Catlin looked at May with a rare look of astonishment on her face.
Not sisters? Really? I've never met Lugia, don't lie to me.
"May is right, Catlin, you caught Lugia."
Mammon fed the cute little Lugia a small piece of bread and said to Catlin with a smile.
Catlin looked at the little fellow who was squinting his eyes and happily biting the bread with a very strange look in his eyes.
This is... the legendary sea god Lugia?
