—------------------—
Mammon felt like he was being too generous.
Cyrus was merely the boss of a regional Evil Organization, so what kind of opponents did he arrange for him?
There was Platinum, the protagonist of the 'Diamond and Pearl' series; Hilda and Rosa, the protagonists of 'Black and White' and 'Black and White 2'; Kieran, the rival of the protagonist of 'Scarlet and Violet'; and Drayton, the Champion of the Blueberry Academy League.
This lineup was simply luxurious!
Let alone Cyrus, even N hadn't received such treatment yet. Cyrus should be proud.
Hmm, glorious even in defeat.
But Cyrus clearly didn't think that way.
"Damn it!! What's wrong with these guys?!"
Cyrus's face had completely darkened now, watching his Weavile being forced to move by Hydreigon's Dragon Pulse and Incineroar's Fire Blast, only to be hit and defeated by Emboar's Fire Punch.
It shouldn't have been like this!
Cyrus's face twitched continuously; he could no longer control his emotions.
Being jointly forced into a desperate situation by a group of kids who looked only sixteen or seventeen was something the proud Cyrus simply couldn't accept.
How could he accept it?
But these guys were definitely not normal. Although their Pokémon's strength was indeed inferior to his own, their skill was not bad, at least far stronger than Commander Mars and her subordinates.
But how old were they now?!
Moreover, their coordination was excellent. The longer the battle lasted, the greater Cyrus's disadvantage became.
By now, he was only left with an injured Crobat and Honchkrow.
"Hmph hmph~ So what if he's the Team Galactic boss? He still has to lose to us."
Rosa proudly lifted her fair chin, unable to resist humming.
Yes! They really teamed up to defeat Cyrus!
This was the big boss of the Evil Organization Team Galactic, a Champion-level Trainer.
But upon hearing Rosa's declaration of imminent victory, Cyrus's expression grew even darker, like water.
"What are you so proud of?" Cyrus coldly swept his gaze over Rosa.
"Huh? You've already lost, and you're still so arrogant? Your mouth is harder than mine."
Rosa tapped her lips, feigning surprise as she looked at Cyrus.
And that grinning tone clearly explained everything: Rosa was deliberately being sarcastic.
Drayton and the others had strange expressions, but they didn't interrupt.
Well, although they hadn't interacted much, there was no doubt that among the five of them, Rosa had the sharpest tongue, and Rosa was also an 'introvert'.
"I underestimated you, but if I want to leave, you can't stop me."
Cyrus successfully adjusted his emotions once again, his tone returning to cold indifference.
Yes, he had to admit, he had indeed lost to these kids, but!
But it didn't matter! He wasn't utterly defeated! As long as his dream was realized, there was still a chance.
"No, how do you say 'running away' with such self-righteousness?"
Rosa feigned surprise as she looked at Cyrus.
Cyrus's face darkened again.
"And also, are you going to abandon your subordinates? You're such a useless leader, aren't you? All you think about is yourself, so selfish, aren't you?"
"You're a Champion-level Trainer, yet you were defeated by a few of us, averaging sixteen years old. You, as a Trainer, have no strength; as the Team Galactic leader, you have no responsibility. When you lose, all you think about is running."
"Huh? Thinking about it, you really are a failure."
Rosa tilted her head, her expression very cute, yet her words… were completely aimed at the heart.
Holy cow! This woman's tongue is really venomous!
Platinum, Drayton, and Kieran heard this and couldn't help but look at Rosa in shock. Good heavens!
Hilda pouted; she was used to it.
Cyrus's face was already extremely ugly, his eyes cold and dark, staring fixedly at Rosa.
However, Rosa didn't care at all. She found it hilarious; her skin was very thick!
"Why don't you just go home and raise pigs? You can't handle being in an Evil Organization. You…"
"Shut up!" Cyrus finally couldn't hold back.
"Why is your voice so loud?"
Rosa put her hands on her hips and yelled back in an even louder voice, displeased.
"I'm reasoning with you, and you're still being mean to me? Do you have any manners?!"
"You!"
Cyrus clenched his fists tightly. Even he, at this moment, just wanted to beat this woman up badly.
But reason told him that this was not allowed, because if he stubbornly argued with this woman, he would only be caught.
Yes, calm down! This is just this woman's scheme; she wants to use a verbal assault to make him angry and thus make unwise moves.
And in fact, that was exactly the case.
Rosa was clever and astute; she deliberately wanted to provoke Cyrus, after all, Cyrus's remaining two Pokémon were Crobat and Honchkrow.
Both of these Pokémon have flying abilities, especially Crobat, which flies very fast. If Cyrus wanted to run, they really wouldn't have many options.
However, it was quite clear that Rosa's venomous 'attack' ultimately wasn't very effective.
Cyrus, you could say he was obsessed, that his brain was completely messed up, that he felt superior from the bottom of his bones, but his emotional control was truly excellent.
If it were Ghetsis the Sage, after such humiliation, Ghetsis would probably be performing face contortions and rushing up to fight Rosa now.
However…
Just then, the ground behind Cyrus slightly bulged, and an Excadrill suddenly burrowed out, heading straight for Cyrus's back.
That's right! This was Hilda's Excadrill, also known as the Mole Drill Pokémon.
Rosa was responsible for attracting attention, while Hilda secretly had her Excadrill dig a tunnel directly towards Cyrus.
Ever since the incident at the Veilstone Galacyic Building, Rosa and the others had understood one truth: there was no need to reason with people from Evil Organizations.
If the opponent was willing to be decent, then fight them head-on. If the opponent wasn't willing to be decent, then help them be decent!
Just capture the person themselves, and it's over.
However, Honchkrow flew over at high speed, striking Excadrill fiercely with a Sucker Punch, sending Excadrill flying.
"He was prepared."
Hilda frowned at this.
"Heh~ I knew it."
Cyrus sneered. These kids, especially the one with the bun, clearly had a lot of tricks up their sleeves.
Although Cyrus had always felt that the Trainers on the Alliance side were a bit foolish and wouldn't use any schemes or tricks.
But it's always good to be on guard, especially in this situation.
"This ends here for today. When I create a new world, you will surely regret what you have done today."
Cyrus looked at Rosa with cold eyes, especially this young girl.
His new world would not tolerate such people!
Crobat flew down, Cyrus grabbed Crobat's feet, and Crobat carried Cyrus into the air.
"Don't even think about running!"
Rosa and the others certainly didn't want Cyrus to escape. This was their first time teaming up to fight a boss!
If the boss ran away, where would their dignity go?
"Drayton, Kieran, have your Dragonite use Extreme Speed to chase!"
"Don't worry, he won't get away!"
"My Togekiss can also use Extreme Speed!"
Platinum, Drayton, and Kieran each threw out their Poké Balls. Want to run?
Impossible!
Although Crobat flies very fast, it is not impossible for Togekiss and Dragonite, with their Extreme Speed move, to catch up to Crobat.
Or, if they were ruthless, they could directly use Extreme Speed on Cyrus, and Cyrus certainly wouldn't be able to withstand the Extreme Speed attack and would fall down.
However…
The Crobat flying in the air suddenly felt an unbearable, heavy pressure descend upon it. It couldn't resist at all, its body uncontrollably plummeted, directly crashing to the ground.
Psychic-type Gravity!
Cyrus also fell to the ground, clutching his scraped knee, his face contorted in pain.
"Eh?"
Rosa and the others were stunned.
"What's going on?"
Cyrus endured the pain and looked at Crobat, finding that Crobat's body was pressed tightly against the ground, unable to move.
What the hell is this?
"It's Gravity. It's Mewtwo's Gravity."
Mammon slowly walked over, his smiling voice reaching Cyrus's ears.
Dark Mewtwo followed behind Mammon, its eyes flickering with a faint purple glow.
"How could Gravity only affect Crobat!" Cyrus's voice was very low.
"Nothing is impossible. It's just that your knowledge is too narrow. Mewtwo's precise control over Psychic powers is beyond your imagination."
Mammon scoffed.
Psychic-type Gravity is a status change that creates strong gravity on the field, preventing moves like Splash, Jump Kick, and Fly from being used.
All Pokémon become 'grounded Pokémon'.
However, Gravity is a large-area AoE, and precise control is extremely difficult. But Dark Mewtwo's Psychic control is exceptionally good, so it's not particularly difficult for it.
"You've already lost, Cyrus."
Mammon added lightly.
"Impossible!"
Upon hearing this, Cyrus's expression changed. He couldn't accept it.
His dream had not yet been realized!
To transform the current world into an ultimate world without 'spirit', and he would become the god of that world!
"I haven't lost yet! My new world will appear!"
That's right, he had already obtained the Lake Guardians. As long as the Red Chain for extracting the Lake Guardians' power was completed.
He could then go to Spear Pillar on Mt. Coronet to summon Dialga and Palkia, and use the Red Chain's power to control them.
This way, he could have the Temporal and Spatial Pokémon create a new world.
Originally, everything was so perfect, but why had it turned out like this now?
"Tsk~ Still daydreaming? How pathetic and ugly, Cyrus." Mammon clicked his tongue.
"It's all because of you!" Cyrus's defenses crumbled.
If Sird hadn't betrayed him, how would he have been lured to Micina Great Mountain?!
"Mammon! And Sird! You truly deserve to die!!"
"Useless thing, you're just too stupid. You don't even think, Sird is in Kanto, even if I really got the message, how would she know?"
Mammon sneered. To put it bluntly, it was still Cyrus's own excessive arrogance and self-importance.
He firmly believed that Sird would not betray him, and he couldn't resist the temptation of the life jewel.
"And ultimately, you can't even defeat Rosa and these other newcomers who just debuted."
Mammon looked at Cyrus with pity.
"Being an Evil Organization leader is truly something you can't handle. Be good, just go work the sewing machine for the rest of your life. That suits you better."
