Team Rocket Castle.
The conference room was now full of people, even Giovanni was there, and Hoopa floated behind Mammon, yawning.
He had just temporarily served as a 'teleporter,' bringing the Team Rocket Top Executives, who were originally scattered across the world, to this location.
This job was quite boring, but how could he refuse when his Mammon asked him to? He agreed.
If it were anyone else, Hoopa wouldn't even bother with them.
Ash and the others, who had rushed over, were quite bewildered, as such a gathering of all Top Executives surely meant something extremely important had happened.
For instance, the last time all Top Executives gathered was for the Great Saffron City War.
What about this time?
"Ladies and gentlemen, at noon today, an Evil Organization from another world invaded the Alola region and occupied the Aether Paradise Artificial Island."
Mammon didn't beat around the bush and directly got to the point.
"I'm not joking; that Evil Organization used Ultra Space as a bridge to enter our world. They don't come with good intentions."
Mammon looked around and spoke slowly.
"An organization from another world?"
Even though Mammon emphasized it repeatedly, May was still somewhat astonished.
"That's right."
Mammon nodded.
Upon confirming this, the entire conference room instantly erupted.
"Huh?"
"How dare they! They dare to invade my Alola?"
"An organization from a parallel world, what does that mean? Are they trying to invade our planet?"
"Lawless! To actually set their sights on our world, they completely disregard us!"
The conference room instantly became agitated, especially Selene.
She was the Champion of the Alola region! Good heavens, she had only been away for a day, and the Alola region was attacked?
"Boss, that organization?"
Gladion remained very calm, although he was actually quite anxious inside, as Lusamine was still in Alola.
But at this moment, he definitely had to calm down.
"According to the intelligence currently available, it is a very large organization called 'Rainbow Rocket.'"
Mammon's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table.
"Rainbow Rocket?" Ash was stunned. Rainbow... Team Rocket? What did that mean?
"Interesting, a parallel world's counterpart theory? So, it's a parallel world's Team Rocket?"
Colress stroked his chin, showing unusual interest in this Rainbow Rocket.
"Team Rocket from another world... sounds quite formidable."
Rosa's eyes sparkled. With her strong sense of belonging to Team Rocket, she instantly developed intense curiosity about this so-called Rainbow Rocket.
"It is indeed quite formidable. As of now, it's confirmed that this Rainbow Rocket possesses technology for parallel world travel, and..."
Mammon chuckled lightly.
"This organization has Trainers with Groudon, Kyogre, Dialga, and Yveltal, so their strength is indeed quite outstanding."
Upon hearing this, Selene and the others instantly had a general idea. At least they controlled four legendary Pokémon.
And it was still unknown how many Champion-level Trainers this Rainbow Rocket had.
No wonder they dared to invade a parallel world; this organization truly had strength.
However... "Heh~ It seems like it will be a very interesting battle."
Blue crossed his arms, grinning with a defiant smile.
Legendary Pokémon were indeed very challenging, but they weren't pushovers either!
Blue could confidently declare that he was no longer the same person he was half a year ago.
His strength had improved significantly over the past six months!
"..." Beside Blue, Red's crimson eyes flickered slightly.
That's right, Red had also joined Team Rocket.
There was no other way; his childhood friend, younger brother, and friends had all joined Team Rocket.
They kept trying to persuade him day after day, and Red was eventually swayed.
Otherwise, what could he do? He really couldn't hold out any longer.
"But even so, our Team Rocket is the strongest. That so-called Rainbow Rocket, the stupidest thing they did was invade our world!"
Blue raised his chin and declared proudly.
That's right, Blue didn't care about any of the messy details. He only knew that this organization called Rainbow Rocket was in trouble!
Though both were Team Rocket, there were still differences.
Blue was very confident that their Team Rocket was the most awesome!
"Excellent, Blue is absolutely right." Mammon nodded in satisfaction.
"No matter what kind of monsters they are, since they dare to invade our world, we must make them pay the price!"
"Right! We haven't even gone to fight them yet, and they dare to come and fight us! Against such an Evil Organization, we must strike with heavy punches!"
Selene stood up excitedly, her clear, bright eyes full of eagerness to try.
She was already impatient to crush this Rainbow Rocket.
"I have already contacted Chairman Charles Goodshow. This operation to eliminate Rainbow Rocket will be fully handled by our Team Rocket."
Mammon motioned for Selene to sit down, urging her to calm down.
"Everyone, for the sake of this beautiful world we live in, this time, we must eliminate all those evil elements."
"At the same time, we will also tell them that in this world, or rather, in all parallel worlds, only one Team Rocket is enough. Their so-called 'Rainbow Rocket' is just a 'fake'!"
Mammon stood up, delivering an impassioned pre-battle declaration.
"No problem. Compared to our Team Rocket, do they even have the strength?"
Rosa's clear voice was very proud and pleasant to the ear.
Are you kidding? In Rosa's opinion, the Team Rocket she belonged to was definitely the strongest organization in the world.
"So, for this battle, is there anyone who cannot participate due to special circumstances?"
Mammon asked finally.
"I must participate! It would be too regrettable to miss such a grand event."
Selene slammed the table, very excited.
Most people agreed. Special training could be done every day, but an event like fighting an Evil Organization from a parallel world was truly something one couldn't even wish for.
"Very good. Everyone who participates in this operation to eliminate Rainbow Rocket will receive 20,000 merit points!"
"Anyone who captures a Rainbow Rocket Executive-level member will be rewarded with 50,000 merit points! Capturing the Team Rocket Leader of Rainbow Rocket will be rewarded with 100,000 merit points!"
Mammon smiled and nodded. Strictly speaking, in Mammon's opinion, the difficulty of this 'Rainbow Rocket' dungeon was definitely greater than that of the 'Saffron City' one.
After all, Mammon knew very well that the executives of Rainbow Rocket each had a legendary Pokémon.
Especially Rainbow Giovanni, his strength was definitely very formidable.
However, it couldn't be helped that Selene and the others' strength had also greatly improved compared to the 'Saffron City' event last year.
Moreover, Team Rocket's lineup this time was also incomparable to the past.
"Wo~"
Upon hearing this, the 'new members' like Blue, who had joined after the 'Saffron City' dungeon, immediately brightened their eyes.
Just participating would earn 20,000 merit points!
To be honest, for Blue and the others, what they lacked most were merit points.
After all, with merit points, they could exchange them for their desired Pokémon.
"Alright everyone, let's prepare and depart."
Mammon clapped his hands.
"The name of this organized operation will be 'Legend: Rainbow Rocket'!"
While it was said to prepare, there wasn't much to prepare. Ash and the others who hadn't eaten simply grabbed a burger to get by.
About ten minutes later, in front of the Team Rocket Castle's main gate.
"Hoopa Loo-loo!"
Hoopa transformed into Hoopa Unbound, and six spatial golden rings flew out, expanded, and landed, turning into portals.
"Charge! Time to fight the Evil Organization!"
Selene was the first to rush in, unstoppable and very excited.
Ash and the others all quickly followed.
"Akari, Mon is not well, so stay here with Mom and Lillie."
Mammon hugged Platinum and Lillie, smiling as he spoke.
Although they were already heavily pregnant, Platinum and Lillie were not as weak as normal pregnant women, due to Mammon constantly nourishing them with Arceus's power.
For Platinum, basic battles were still possible.
After all, she was ultimately just a Trainer; she didn't need to fight on the front lines herself.
But at the end of the day, they were still pregnant women, and their movements were inconvenient. They definitely couldn't participate in such a battle to subjugate an Evil Organization.
"Mm~ Mammon, be safe."
"Mammon, good luck~!"
Platinum and Lillie naturally nodded.
"Hehe, Mom, don't worry, I'll take down all those Rainbow Rocket members!"
Akari patted her chest and promised with a giggle.
That's right, for such a grand occasion, she certainly had to participate. She was also a member of Team Rocket!
Platinum smiled sweetly and gently hugged her daughter, who was a bit taller than herself.
"Let's go."
Aether Paradise Artificial Island.
"There's a problem."
Inside Lusamine's mansion room, Rainbow Giovanni looked at the computer in front of him.
He carefully investigated the history of Team Rocket's development in this world and found that this world's Team Rocket... was a bit too miraculous!
No, it wasn't so much Team Rocket, but because of a certain person.
"Mammon, is he my son in this world?"
Rainbow Giovanni narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the photo of the black-haired young man on the screen, next to which were some personal 'resumes.'
Rainbow Giovanni fell into deep thought. In fact, before Mammon's sudden rise, he found that the development of the Kanto region in this world was very similar to his original world.
Giovanni in this world was the Viridian Gym Leader, and in his original world, he also used the Viridian Gym Leader as a disguise, secretly controlling Team Rocket and creating Mewtwo.
Finally, Rainbow Giovanni captured the awakened Mewtwo and eventually conquered the world with its power.
Theoretically, as a parallel world counterpart, Giovanni's life in this world was highly similar to his own. There was no reason for him to be a truly good person.
"Interesting, did the two of them conspire to put on a good show and deceive the entire world?"
Soon, Rainbow Giovanni's lips curled slightly, confirming this point.
Giovanni and Mammon in this world must have never fallen out!
Rainbow Giovanni had no evidence, but he was so certain!
Because he was 'Giovanni'! He understood 'Giovanni' too well. No matter which world, no one understood 'Giovanni' better than him.
"But ultimately, you are limited by this world. If you are willing to serve me when the time comes, it's not impossible to give you an opportunity."
Rainbow Giovanni gently flexed his fingers, a faint, malicious smile playing on his lips.
He valued talent, greatly valued it.
In Rainbow Giovanni's view, the collaboration between this world's Giovanni and his son was a completely meaningless act.
Conquest was all that mattered! To trample the entire world underfoot! To do whatever he pleased!!
After breaking free from the constraints of his world, Rainbow Giovanni clearly understood that his ambition, his future, was the vast expanse of stars and sea!
And this Rainbow Rocket, which transcended Team Rocket, was one of the foundations of his ambition. He wanted the banner of Rainbow Rocket to be planted across all parallel worlds.
He wanted Rainbow Rocket to wreak havoc in all worlds. This was a man's romance.
And not... marrying and having children like an ordinary person.
Love? Family? Friendship?
They would only become stumbling blocks on his path of ambition, becoming his weaknesses. Rainbow Giovanni had always scoffed at these bonds.
It was precisely because of this that Giovanni in this world was destined not to become a formidable figure like himself.
But it was also because of this that as long as he could capture the family of this world's Giovanni, he could surely coerce him into joining Rainbow Rocket and serving him.
People with emotions were easily manipulated.
Rainbow Giovanni chuckled lowly. Just thinking about making the 'Giovanni' of a parallel world work for him, Rainbow Giovanni couldn't help but hum lightly.
