"Rainbow Rocket, how interesting."
Giovanni looked at the Rainbow Rocket members who had been defeated by Great Tusk and Flutter Mane in front of him, and couldn't help but say so.
That capitalized, colorful 'R' letter really made him stare for a while.
Team Rockets from a parallel world... Giovanni truly had a special feeling, one that was hard to describe with words.
Although he had already left Team Rockets, he had led Team Rockets for more than a decade after all.
That feeling was truly very different.
"Mammon, who do you think is the leader of Rainbow Rocket?"
Giovanni asked Mammon beside him; he was genuinely curious at this moment.
"I think... Dad, you probably have some guesses in your heart, right?"
Mammon said to Giovanni with a smile.
He didn't believe Giovanni had no guesses at all.
Especially now that the Top Executives had already encountered Rainbow Archie and Rainbow Lysandre.
These were all people who existed in this world, and according to the reports from Rosa and Ash, the experiences of Rainbow Archie and Rainbow Lysandre were very similar to those of Archie and Lysandre in this world.
The only difference was that Rainbow Archie and Rainbow Lysandre successfully achieved their ideals.
While Archie and Lysandre in this world simply failed.
"Indeed, but it still feels incredible."
Giovanni pondered, his thoughts deep. Yes, judging by the situation of Rainbow Archie and his counterparts, the leader of Rainbow Rocket was actually quite easy to guess.
That would be Rainbow Giovanni!
After all, Rainbow Rocket was still a part of Team Rockets, wasn't it? It was just an 'evolved' Team Rockets.
"Well, even though you're not as outstanding as I am, Dad, you're still very capable. It's not impossible for you to dominate in an ordinary parallel world."
Mammon shrugged casually in response.
"...You brat." Giovanni didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But the hardest part to bear was that what this kid said was actually true, because Giovanni was proud of Mammon, and Mammon had truly surpassed him.
Mammon was truly too outstanding, so outstanding that Giovanni didn't know what to say.
"However, this time, they've run into a tough opponent."
The 'they' Giovanni referred to were, of course, the people of Rainbow Rocket. Of all the worlds to invade, they chose this one.
"There's a good saying: 'He who often walks by the river cannot avoid wetting his shoes.'"
Mammon's tone was lazy, as he and Giovanni continued deeper into Aether Paradise.
Their goal was clear: Lusamine's mansion, which was surely the headquarters of Rainbow Rocket.
As for the rest of Aether Paradise, Selene and the others were enough to handle it.
Rainbow Rocket was strong, yes, but Mammon had deep trust in his subordinates.
"When Ultra Space was discovered in the Alola region, I already thought that there must be more than one world."
Mammon's eyes flickered slightly. Ultra Space was the most typical proof, as it was essentially an alternate dimension.
It was just that Ultra Space had bordered the Alola region's space.
And in fact, in the game 'Pokémon Alpha Sapphire/Omega Ruby,' the remake of the 'ruby/sapphire/emerald' series, the existence of parallel worlds was already explained.
In the ruby/sapphire/emerald remake, Zinnia prevented Devon Corporation's plan to teleport the meteor away with a dimensional transporter, explaining that doing so could send the meteor to another universe and cause devastating effects.
This already hinted at the existence of parallel universes.
"And in the Sinnoh region, after deeply understanding and recognizing the truth of the Sinnoh myths, I understood this point even more clearly."
"Worlds are not unique, and not every world is as complete as ours."
Mammon continued.
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Giovanni was very curious about Mammon's basis.
"Parallel world counterparts may have consistent appearances, consistent family conditions, or consistent dreams, but due to the overall differences between worlds, the final outcomes will show relatively strong discrepancies."
Mammon said so.
"Just like the Archie that Rosa and the others are facing right now, he used Kyogre to fulfill his dream, transforming his original world into his ideal world, where the ocean submerged most of the land."
"But suppose he replaced the original Archie of our world, Dad, do you think he could succeed?"
Mammon's lips curved slightly as he asked Giovanni.
"Impossible, because this world has you." Giovanni shook his head.
"Exactly, he couldn't possibly succeed, and it's not because of me." Mammon scoffed.
"Even without me, Dad, you and Lance, and even Leon, could completely stop that Rainbow Archie. He couldn't defeat you."
"To put it another way, even without you, the Hoenn region has May. Given May's growth rate, Rainbow Archie would likely have been defeated by May, Steven, and Wallace before he even obtained Kyogre."
"But that Rainbow Archie succeeded in his original world. This can only mean one thing: Rainbow Archie's world is very weak."
"Therefore, it can be inferred that there is actually a distinction of strength, or perhaps a distinction of hierarchy, between worlds."
Mammon analyzed, and Giovanni nodded thoughtfully.
"So, Mammon, you think our world is a very strong world?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
Mammon replied without hesitation. What kind of world is a very strong world?
Damn, this world is practically divine, okay?
Protagonists and rivals from all generations are growing up in this era simultaneously, and there's even Ash from the movie and anime integrated versions.
In the future, there will even be Akari, the most terrifying fated protagonist in the 'Pokémon' series, born.
It's also thanks to this world's Arceus being a high-level Arceus with a legend plate; otherwise, to put it in a more fantastical way, the luck of this world might not even be enough to go around.
To be honest, Mammon truly believed that even without himself, these Trainers in this world alone could completely take down this Rainbow Rocket.
That's why it's said that Rainbow Rocket really ran into a brick wall by invading this world.
"Indeed, there are simply too many 'monsters' in this era."
Giovanni sighed with emotion. Well, the biggest 'monster' was right beside him, and in the future, an even more terrifying'super monster' would be born.
Akari's talent... truly indescribable.
"I wonder how the battle is going for my lovely subordinates now."
Mammon chuckled... East side of Aether Paradise.
"That's all of them defeated. How easy!"
Iris stretched, looking very relaxed and comfortable.
The number of Rainbow Rocket subordinate members at their location was quite large, but fortunately, their strength wasn't much pressure for them.
So, they defeated them all with a bit of effort.
"Let's not be too careless. These people are just small fry. Rainbow Rocket must also have strong individuals."
N said gently.
"Ha~ Even if there are strong ones, N, you can definitely handle them easily. No big deal." Drayton said lazily.
Kieran looked up at the sky. The originally clear sky was accumulating rain clouds, looking like it was about to rain.
"Still, don't..." N chuckled, just about to say something.
"So much noise, I thought something happened and came to take a look. I didn't expect this."
A self-assured middle-aged male voice slowly drifted over.
"I didn't expect to see you in this world either, N The man who inherited my surname"
N's expression changed, and he looked at the person who spoke, his pupils contracting slightly.
Dressed in strange luxurious clothes, with neatly combed light green hair, he was currently looking at him with a faint smile.
Ghetsis!
"Ghetsis? You, how did you escape? No, you're not Ghetsis."
Drayton frowned, subconsciously saying it, but quickly reacted.
Ghetsis was originally apprehended and imprisoned by the Unova League, then secretly sent to Team Rockets' prison. It was said that he had gone mad due to intense stimulation.
But Team Rockets still humanely continued to detain him, and even delivered him meals on time every day, ensuring he stayed alive.
Yes, this was N's request. Originally, Mammon wanted Ghetsis to mine underground.
But N pleaded, for although Ghetsis had used him, there was still the kindness of raising him.
So Mammon agreed, giving Ghetsis a chance to live, after all, Ghetsis was the adoptive father of N, Concordia, and Anthea, and Mammon was ultimately kind-hearted.
Therefore, the person in front of him could absolutely not be Ghetsis.
"So you recognize me too. I am indeed Ghetsis, but I am not the useless person you remember."
Rainbow Ghetsis's lips curled into a cold sneer.
"These people are indeed useless. It's really troublesome that I, as an executive, have to personally take action."
Rainbow Ghetsis glanced at the Rainbow Rocket members who dared not speak, and sneered.
"Why did you join Rainbow Rocket?"
N's brows remained tightly furrowed, his expression serious.
"Hehehe~ This question is indeed something you would ask, N. Do you want to know the reason?"
Rainbow Ghetsis stared at N, his eyes narrowing slightly, then he showed a smile.
"Of course, it's to liberate Pokémon from humans!"
"Journey through all worlds, and liberate all Pokémon in all worlds, N. Although the N of this world was not raised by my own hands, I'm sure the feelings are the same, right?"
"Your father Ghetsis failed, but I did not! I can still be your father, come on, N~"
Rainbow Ghetsis extended his hand to N, his tone full of sincerity.
"We share the same surname. Come assist me in saving all Pokémon. Isn't this your wish?"
Upon hearing Rainbow Ghetsis's words, Drayton and the other two were dumbfounded.
Bro, are you serious??
What do you mean 'I can still be your father'? How can you say such a thing? Isn't that too shameless?
Even N's mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Stop pretending, Ghetsis. You never treated me like your child."
N said in a low voice. He didn't join Team Rockets for nothing; he was no longer the pedantic person he used to be.
After Team Rockets 'obtained' Ghetsis, N specifically went to see Ghetsis once.
Well, after that, Ghetsis went completely insane.
"Tsk~ Indeed, that useless guy has already worn out the 'emotional card'."
Rainbow Ghetsis's expression instantly changed, and he clicked his tongue, saying regrettably.
The 'useless guy' he referred to was precisely Ghetsis of this world.
If he could even misuse a tool as good as N to this extent, what else could he be but useless?
"However, since he cannot be used by me, then he might as well be destroyed. Coincidentally, this fellow, I wonder if you are familiar with him, N~"
As Rainbow Ghetsis's words fell, a deep, incomparable dragon roar echoed.
From amidst the thunderclouds in the sky, a pitch-black dragon descended, landing heavily behind Rainbow Ghetsis.
Its aura was immense and powerful, and its heavy dragon's might was astonishingly strong.
"This is..."
Iris's eyes widened. She was not at all unfamiliar with this dragon, as she often saw it with N.
"Zekrom!"
"How do you have Zekrom?"
