"This is so complicated."
Rosa frantically tugged at the two buns on top of her head.
"What's so complicated for you?"
Hilda couldn't help but roll her eyes at Rosa. Although Mr. Mammon gave Rosa three options, in Hilda's opinion, two of them were extremely difficult.
"Where are you going to find a Salamence and a Metagross?"
Among Kangaskhan, Salamence, and Metagross, both Salamence and Metagross are pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
Moreover, their main habitats are in Hoenn. Although you can exchange for Bagon and Beldum on the Arceus app, and their talent and aptitude can be guaranteed,
the pseudo-legendary exchange points are 50,000!
Isn't Rosa going for Tornadus?
So, in Hilda's view, Rosa only had one choice.
"That seems right too, oh." Rosa was momentarily stunned.
"Actually, it's not particularly difficult. If you want one, you can try your luck at Meteor Falls in Hoenn. That's where wild Bagon live, but don't have too high expectations."
Mammon naturally heard the two girls' conversation and suggested with a smile.
Meteor Falls has always been the main habitat for Bagon, but this is no secret.
Trainers have always wanted to go to Meteor Falls to find Bagon, but very few people actually manage to catch a Bagon there.
Firstly, because the depths of Meteor Falls are among the most dangerous wilderness areas in the Hoenn region, most of the wild Pokémon there are high-leveled, making it very dangerous for ordinary Trainers.
Secondly, while it's called a habitat, the Meteor Falls area is vast, and the number of Bagon isn't actually very high, so encountering one is very difficult.
"I'll just go and catch a Kangaskhan. The Parental Bond ability seems very interesting too."
Rosa decisively chose Kangaskhan. Hoenn was too far from Unova, and there was no guarantee of success.
Normal-type Kangaskhan is quite strong among Normal-type Pokémon, and its Parental Bond ability after Mega Evolution, based on the description, seems to have great training value.
Because Mega Evolution infuses the little Kangaskhan in the Kangaskhan's pouch, allowing it to grow quickly and fight alongside its Kangaskhan mother.
In other words, it's a legitimate two-on-one!
This ability is just too interesting.
And... the potential is undoubtedly huge!
Rosa had a sharp eye and a quick mind, immediately thinking of many tactics for Mega Kangaskhan.
"A very rational choice, and if you train your Kangaskhan well, it won't be any worse than Super Salamence and Super Metagross," Mammon said with a smile, nodding.
"Hehe~" Receiving Mammon's praise, Rosa's eyes crinkled with her smile, and she was in a great mood.
"Oh, by the way, Mammon, Hilda hasn't decided on her Mega Evolution partner yet. Can you recommend one for her, too?" Rosa quickly came back to her senses and asked for advice on behalf of her good friend.
"Of course. Hilda, what's your team like?"
"Emboar, Excadrill, Zoroark, Ferrothorn, Haxorus, and Braviary."
Hilda blinked and reported her main team.
Like Rosa, she also had a multi-type team. And rightly so, for talented Trainers like them, not cultivating a multi-type team would be a waste of their talent.
"Almost all physical attackers."
"Yes, so I want to train a Mega special attacker."
Hilda nodded obediently in reply, and she also wanted a strong special attacker.
"Gengar and Gardevoir, these two are very suitable for your team. If you don't mind type duplication, Charizard Y can also work."
Mammon pondered for a moment before giving his suggestions.
Hilda looked thoughtful.
"Charizard Y's ability is Drought, which can also benefit your Emboar. Moreover, Charizard Y's special attack is very powerful, making it a very suitable main special attacker."
Charizard Y's popularity is actually far less than that of the Fire/Dragon-type Charizard X, but in reality, Charizard Y's battle strength is not at all inferior to Charizard X.
Especially since Charizard Y also has the noble Drought ability.
Even if Charizard Y is quadruple weak to Rock, it doesn't change Charizard Y's strengths.
"Mega Gengar's ability is Shadow Tag, which I also highly recommend."
Mammon himself has a Black Fatty, so he naturally knows Gengar inside and out.
And in Mammon's opinion, Mega Gengar's strength is even higher than Charizard Y's.
Because Mega Gengar, as a Pokémon, has an extremely noble ability in Shadow Tag.
Under Shadow Tag, the opponent cannot switch out the Pokémon trapped by Shadow Tag. They can only use switching moves like Baton Pass or U-turn to retreat.
Besides Shadow Tag, Mega Gengar can also use many annoying status moves such as Perish Song, Curse, Destiny Bond, Toxic, and Pain Split, making its tactical options incredibly rich.
The most important point is that Mega Gengar is also very capable in battle!
It is a fast special attacker with an extremely powerful special attack. Among many Mega Pokémon, Mega Gengar is also exceptionally outstanding.
It can be said that the main reason Mega Gengar became Mammon's starter Pokémon is that it is truly too versatile.
It can attack, support, weaken, and Curse. Even if it loses, there's a chance for a one-for-one trade.
Although its defenses are a bit weak, if its defenses were also strong, what would other Pokémon play? Gengar might as well play by itself.
"Then for Mega Gardevoir, its ability is Pixilate, and it's also a powerful special attacker."
Mammon pondered for a moment and said so.
To be honest, compared to Charizard Y and Mega Gengar, Mega Gardevoir... its strength and utility to the team are indeed a bit inferior to the former two.
However, each has its own merits, and besides, different types cannot be purely compared.
Furthermore, Mega Gardevoir's appearance is still very striking.
"Okay, I will think about it carefully. Thank you for your advice, Mr. Mammon."
Hilda thanked him very politely. She probably understood the pros and cons of the three Pokémon.
Just now, she was saying that Rosa was struggling, but now it was her turn.
Among these three Pokémon, their rarity certainly couldn't compare to pseudo-legendaries, but precisely because of that, Hilda was even more conflicted.
"You're welcome. It's just a bit of talking. Do you have any other questions?"
Mammon's hand was still gently stroking the soft waist of a certain Sinnoh Champion, and it subtly seemed to be moving upwards.
"I don't," Hilda shook her head. She first had to make her own choice.
"I don't either, Mammon, Mammon, you're sleeping alone tonight, lonely and... Mmmph!"
Rosa's words were cut off by a series of muffled sounds, as if her mouth had been covered.
No need to think, it must have been Hilda.
She was really afraid that Rosa would blurt out something outrageous. If she kept talking, Rosa might actually run to Mammon. Would she become an aunt next year? That would be too ridiculous!
"Then we'll hang up now, Mr. Mammon, good night." Hilda began to say goodbye.
"Good night."
Mammon chuckled softly and hung up the phone. These two girls were really too interesting.
"What do you think, Cynthia?"
"I think, Mammon, your hand shouldn't be in this position."
Cynthia pressed down on a hand inside her clothes that had already touched her bandeau, and sighed softly.
"Oh, sorry, my hand might have a mind of its own."
Although he said sorry, Mammon had no intention of retracting his hand at all.
It wasn't until Cynthia stared at him for ten seconds without a word, firmly holding Mammon's hand, that Mammon finally pulled it back.
"Mammon, do you often flirt with girls?"
Cynthia felt that Mammon was truly a bit too skilled, almost excessively so.
"Look at what you're saying. I'm not that kind of person."
"I'm not that kind of person either, Mammon." Cynthia's tone was complex.
She hadn't even had a proper relationship yet. Although she hadn't thought about finding a boyfriend now, as she felt her current duty was to protect the Sinnoh region.
"Alright, mainly, I really like you, Cynthia, you know."
"We made a promise. You shouldn't treat me like this."
Cynthia was becoming increasingly worried about her 'safety.' Mammon wasn't even pretending anymore.
"But taking responsibility for the master's physical and mental health is also a maid's duty."
Mammon, however, grinned, completely sidestepping the issue and throwing dirt.
"You can't even satisfy your master, Cynthia, do you think you're right?"
"Or, has what happened in Snowpoint City passed, so you, Cynthia, just want to deal with it perfunctorily?"
Moral blackmail!
Against someone with morals and conscience like Cynthia, moral blackmail was undoubtedly a very serious blow.
Cynthia lowered her head and gazed into Mammon's eyes. She could clearly see her own reflection in Mammon's clear, clean eyes.
Mammon's eyes were truly bright and beautiful, full of spirit.
Cynthia couldn't believe that this young man, who already commanded Team Rockets at such a young age, had such beautiful eyes.
But at the same time, Cynthia also saw the strong, strong desire for her in those eyes.
"I don't have that thought. I'm very grateful that you stopped Regigigas and saved Snowpoint City."
"Mere verbal gratitude is really not very satisfying."
"Then what do you want?"
"Here."
Mammon pointed to his lips, his smile very uninhibited.
Cynthia's mind instantly exploded. This was... a kiss?
How could this be! Isn't this something you can only do with a boyfriend?
"A goodnight kiss, it's not too much, is it?"
How is this not too much?
While Cynthia was shocked by Mammon's thick skin, she also didn't know what to do internally.
Caitlin, what should I do? Mr. Mammon insists!
