"Mammon, Mammon, are you there?"
Seeing the message Rosa sent, Mammon raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong? Is someone looking for you?"
Cynthia keenly noticed Mammon's expression and asked in confusion.
"It's that girl, Rosa. It's nothing, you continue."
Mammon replied. He had to admit, Cynthia's technique was quite good, and her thighs were soft, with a faint, sweet fragrance on her body.
Hmm, the main thing was the sense of accomplishment in his heart.
The female Champion, the goddess in the hearts of countless people in Sinnoh, was now serving him. This feeling was truly different.
Cynthia remained silent, her movements becoming even gentler.
"Yes, what's up?"
Mammon typed back. He was genuinely curious what Rosa wanted, especially since her sudden confession during the day had surprised him.
Although Mammon knew very well that Rosa had a high degree of affection for him, Rosa was truly direct, too impulsive.
"I have something I want to consult with the omnipotent Mammon. Is a phone call convenient?"
From this, it could be seen that although Rosa was usually carefree, lively, and energetic, she actually had a very good sense of propriety.
The current time was 9:30 PM. For disciplined people, this time was usually when they were preparing to rest.
And Rosa was precisely worried about this, which was why she sent a message first instead of calling directly.
Seeing this, Mammon proactively made a call, putting it on speaker.
It connected in one second.
"Hello, hello, hello Mammon, Mammon, good evening"
The sweet, clear voice of the bun-haired girl immediately came through.
"Don't put on an act, be normal." Mammon found it amusing.
"Hehe~ Alright, Mammon, you haven't slept yet?"
"I'm just about to wash up and rest. What do you want to ask?"
Mammon looked up at Cynthia. From his angle, he could clearly see Cynthia's delicate, fair, and gracefully curved chin and neck.
While admiring, Mammon's hand also began to become restless, slowly climbing up Cynthia's waist.
Cynthia's delicate brows furrowed, and she expressed resistance to Mammon with her eyes.
Although touching her waist wasn't too excessive, after all, she had just scrubbed Mammon's back, and they had embraced at the waist when taking couple photos in Hoenn, and even had photos of kissing cheeks.
But that was different!
Besides, she had already promised Caitlin.
However, the thick-skinned Team Rockets Boss pretended not to see, his palm enjoying the Sinnoh Champion's delicate skin.
Cynthia was helpless at this. She didn't try to push Mammon's hand away, because she knew it was useless.
I'm sorry, Caitlin, he insisted on touching! It's really not what I wanted.
"It's like this, Mammon, didn't you reward us with an opportunity to choose an item today? So I wanted to ask you."
"You don't know which Mega Evolution Stone to choose, right?"
"Ha~! As expected of the man this girl likes, Mammon, you're really smart!"
The bun-haired girl's tone was very cheerful and adoring.
Damn, Rosa, she's really good!
It has to be said, this bun-haired genius girl Trainer is too good at providing emotional value. Who can resist this?
Mammon even felt a little emotional. If he really had a girlfriend like Rosa, wouldn't it be incredibly satisfying?
"Don't flatter me, I won't be able to handle it."
"Hehe~ It's not flattery, these are my true feelings."
Rosa replied with a giggle.
These words truly made Hilda, who was beside Rosa, get goosebumps. How did this woman become like this?
Was this still the sister she knew? Does love really turn people into simps?
Hilda couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"There are quite a few strong Mega Pokémon, but it also depends on their compatibility with your team."
Mammon felt he needed to carefully consider a Mega slot Pokémon for Rosa.
"Rosa, what's your current main team?"
"Hmm~ Serperior, Hydreigon, Volcarona, Krookodile, Chandelure, Vanilluxe."
Undoubtedly, Rosa's team was a very balanced multi-type lineup. All six of her main Pokémon had different types.
"You don't have a Mega user, so Rosa, you're planning to train a new main Pokémon, right?"
"Yes, Mega Evolution is very powerful, so I definitely need one."
Rosa answered quite naturally. Although training a new main Pokémon would require time and effort.
But Rosa firmly believed that she couldn't have a weakness. How could she not have what others had? Wouldn't that be a pure disadvantage?
"That idea is correct. No matter what kind of strengthening method, you can choose not to use it, but you cannot not have it."
Mammon highly approved of Rosa's thinking.
That's why he always felt that the Masters Eight Tournament in the journey was quite childish. Not to mention the battle details were completely garbage; the scriptwriter truly treated the audience as idiots.
Ash could have multiple strengthening methods, but a regional Champion always only used one strengthening method and didn't learn other strengthening methods.
Is this reasonable?
To put it bluntly, Z-Moves only require Z-Crystals, Dynamax only requires Dynamax Bands, and Mega Evolution requires Key Stones and Mega Evolution Stones.
Are these things hard to obtain for Champions standing at the peak of their regions?
And in the anime, the Masters Eight's Leon, Steven, and others actually only used one strengthening method from beginning to end.
Especially Leon, as the undisputed, almost overwhelmingly dominant world's number one Trainer in the anime's plot, he 'stubbornly' only used Dynamax and didn't use Mega Evolution or Z-Moves.
Don't say Leon didn't have them. Ash could easily get Mega Evolution Stones and Z-Crystals. How could Leon not have resources if he wanted them?
The Kalos and Alola Leagues, even if just to befriend Leon, this regional Champion, would provide them to him.
This is purely treating Leon as an idiot. A strengthening method that is readily available with just a word from him, would a battle-loving Trainer like Leon, who pursues stronger limits, not learn it?
In the final, Leon's single Dynamax fighting Ash's three systems was actually inherently extremely imperfect.
Mammon understood that the scriptwriter wanted to draw a final conclusion for Ash and end Ash's journey, but the Masters Eight battle plot itself was a mess.
Moreover, having Ash use a newly caught team to defeat Steven, Cynthia, and Leon's main teams, which they had trained for many years, to become the world's number one, was already illogical enough.
There was no need for Ash to occupy two more strengthening methods. Since Ash was going to win anyway, why not let Ash win more straightforwardly and generously?
In the end, it was Ash's Pikachu's insane power-up and flashback that barely won against Leon's Charizard. In reality, aside from nostalgia, from a rational perspective, Ash's championship had no satisfying moments.
In Mammon's opinion, a top Trainer who knows there are ways to strengthen a Pokémon's battle power but doesn't bother to understand or learn them is simply not a qualified Trainer; that's pure arrogance.
Things like Dynamax, which has energy point and field restrictions, and Terastallization, which has energy replenishment restrictions, are indeed quite special. But even if they are not used normally, it is impossible not to learn or understand them when they are truly needed.
"So, Rosa, what kind of Mega user do you prefer? Battle-type or support-type?"
"Of course, a strong battle-type!" Rosa still answered decisively. She wanted both bond and strength!
"Mammon, Mammon, are there any Mega Pokémon that are both handsome and strong?"
The bun-haired girl asked with great anticipation.
"Yes, of course there are." Mammon smiled slightly: "They can perfectly strengthen your team, and they are all very powerful."
"Do you want to train a physical attacker or a special attacker?"
Rosa pondered for a moment: "Physical, I don't lack special attackers in my team."
Hydreigon, Chandelure, Volcarona, Vanilluxe, and even Serperior, could all be considered special attackers.
"For the optimal choice, Kangaskhan, Salamence, Metagross, pick one from these."
The three Mammon mentioned were all very strong close-range Mega users, and their types did not conflict with Rosa's team, perfectly strengthening it.
"Emmm… Mammon, can you introduce them?" Rosa's tone was full of indecision.
"Mega Kangaskhan, with the Ability Parental Bond, its battle power is very strong and fierce, and it's quite versatile."
The value of Parental Bond Kangaskhan goes without saying.
"Mega Salamence, with the Ability Aerilate, and Mega Metagross, with the Ability Tough Claws. I probably don't need to introduce these two much."
Salamence and Metagross, classic Hoenn pseudo-legendaries, are classic strong physical attacking Mega users.
These two things are straightforward; pure power!
It's pure stats! Perfect stats!
Do you understand the strength of Mega Salamence and Mega Metagross, forged through hard work and sweat?
As for a certain Ground-type Dragon, also a pseudo-legendary that can Mega Evolve…
Hmm, because he was still resting on a certain blonde female Champion's lap, Mammon didn't want to say much, only that Rosa already had Ground and Dragon-type main Pokémon, so that certain Ground-type Dragon wasn't suitable.
