Guzma and Plumeria chose to be understanding. Joining Team Rocket was a new choice and a fresh start. No one could say for sure what the future held.
One thing was certain. They were leaving Po Town.
They might return one day. However, the Po Town of the future would not be the same as the Po Town of today.
Over the next period, the Alola branch of Team Rocket entered a phase of rapid development.
Domino gathered intelligence according to the plan set by Mamon. Caitlin led her team to begin clearing out the Hunter Organization on Melemele Island.
The Hunter Organization could not resist under the pressure of Caitlin's strength. One base after another was cleared. Team Rocket took full control of each location.
Plumeria purchased several clothing factories. Proton continued to manage the overall coordination. He processed various reports daily and traveled everywhere to purchase more land.
If they were not new arrivals, Proton would have already used threats and bribes. He did not want to be too high-profile and alert the Island King or Kukui.
Because of this, the land acquisition remained difficult to resolve. Proton finally had a moment to rest when Caitlin called him for another sparring match.
Proton truly missed the Kanto region. At night, he silently called Archer and the others to complain about his hardships.
As for Guzma…
"Extra! Extra! This is a huge scoop!"
Newsboys began frantically distributing newspapers across the streets and alleys of the Alola islands. A large number of Alola citizens learned the news.
"Team Skull has disbanded! Alola is finally at peace!"
"Guzma's past revealed! It turns out Guzma had a tragic failed romance in his youth!"
"Did you hear? Guzma is going to open an Entertainment City!"
"What? Will we get robbed if we go there to play?"
"They say the parents of his deceased first love found him. They made him pull himself together and turn over a new leaf. This is so inspiring!"
The news of Team Skull disbanding and Guzma reforming to open an Entertainment City spread throughout the Alola region.
A certain professor currently conducting research also learned of this matter.
"What did you say?"
Kukui was stunned. He could not believe his ears.
Kukui was the most famous professor in the Alola region. He was the one who developed the Rotom Phone. He was also currently the only Champion-level Trainer in the Alola region.
"Guzma is going to be a boss and open an Entertainment City?"
"Yes, it is true. They say his Entertainment City will open in one week."
The voice was aged but full of vigor. It belonged to the Island King, Hala.
"This…"
Kukui's mouth twitched. He tried his best to imagine it. However, he could not picture Guzma as a business owner.
He and Guzma were once friends. They both failed the 'Captain' trial in the past. Guzma became resentful and wanted to overthrow the Island Challenge and the old system. He established Team Skull to destroy everything.
Guzma and Kukui drifted apart. By now, Guzma hated Kukui intensely.
"This is for the best if he has truly changed his ways," Hala sighed with emotion.
Guzma was once his disciple. Unfortunately, Guzma eventually chose a path opposite to his own.
"Something feels wrong," Kukui frowned in confusion.
He understood Guzma's temper. Guzma was violent and stubborn. Otherwise, he would not have refused to change his mind for so many years.
How did he suddenly disband Team Skull and become the owner of an Entertainment City? This was far too sudden.
Furthermore, where did Guzma get so much money? Opening an Entertainment City was not a small expense.
Kukui felt that he might need to go and talk to Guzma.
…
On a private beach.
Caitlin and Guzma were battling. A Scizor and a Gallade were fighting on the field.
It was clear that Gallade was at a disadvantage. Finally, it fell under the Scizor's [Aerial Ace].
"I failed again."
Caitlin was emotionally stable despite the defeat. She used [Psychic] power to control the Poké Ball and withdraw Gallade. She gave a soft sigh.
"Heh. Caitlin, your progress is massive. Seriously, I envy a talent like yours."
Guzma stood with one hand in his pocket and clicked his tongue.
This Gallade had only evolved a few days ago. During their battles two days ago, Scizor had defeated Gallade quite easily.
Today, Gallade was able to trade blows with his main Scizor for a while. The progress was too fast.
This Gallade was the evolution of Caitlin's previous Kirlia.
Caitlin had been hesitant before. She was choosing between Gardevoir and Gallade. The two directions were completely different. One specialized in Special Attack while the other specialized in Physical Attack.
However, Mamon learned that this Kirlia was male. He decisively suggested evolving it into Gallade.
A Gallade with the [Sharpness] ability was very strong. Besides, a male Gardevoir was simply too heterodox!
Caitlin trusted Mamon. She used a Dawn Stone immediately. The evolution into Gallade was a success.
"You flatter me, Mr. Guzma. Thank you very much for accompanying me in my special training."
Caitlin gave an elegant bow. She liked this atmosphere. Both Guzma and Proton were excellent sparring partners.
Caitlin enjoyed these full-power battles. Although she had not yet won against them using Gallade, she could clearly feel her own improvement.
Mamon was right. Battling was indeed the best special training!
"Hahaha! Do not mention it. I happen to be free today. Let us continue, Caitlin. Give me another full-power fight!"
Guzma grinned and revealed his trademark fierce smile. His tone sounded quite menacing to outsiders.
However, after working together for a few days, Caitlin understood his personality. He had no ill intentions.
"Then please guide me."
Caitlin's smile grew more beautiful. She used [Psychic] power to release another Poké Ball.
The battle between the two continued.
"Sunlight, beach, waves. All that is missing is a beauty."
Not far away, Mamon lay comfortably on a beach chair holding a coconut. He watched the battle.
This was what life should be like.
The only pity was that the beauty currently only had eyes for battling.
As for Domino, she was still catching up on her sleep.
Mamon and Domino had battled until late last night. Because the battle was too intense, Domino's eyes had rolled back in exhaustion. She needed to rest well today.
Beep, beep, beep.
"Plumeria. What is it?" Mamon answered the phone with a lazy tone.
"Young Lord, I think there is something I must report. Someone wants to join Team Rocket."
"Is this person special?"
"Yes. He says his name is Gladion."
Mamon raised an eyebrow. Had the brother-in-law arrived?
**Chapter 18: Team Rocket Gains Another Fierce General!**
Gladion was the son of Lusamine, the president of the Aether Foundation. However, this was before the game plot began.
Gladion had already escaped Aether Paradise with Type: Null. Lillie had also escaped with Nebby.
One could say that the relationship between Lusamine, Gladion, and Lillie was a perfect display of "maternal love and filial piety."
Mamon truly did not expect Gladion to find his way to Team Rocket.
In the game, Gladion did debut as a member of Team Skull. However, this situation was very different.
Mamon was naturally interested in Gladion. He planned to "interview" Gladion personally.
About half an hour later, Mamon met Gladion.
Gladion had blonde hair inherited from Lusamine. His facial features were sharp and cold. His gaze was equally chilly.
He was a stoic, handsome young man. The three members of Lusamine's family all had very high levels of beauty.
"Young Lord."
Plumeria stood up and bowed when she saw Mamon enter.
Gladion's gaze fell upon Mamon. He frowned slightly and observed him secretly.
'Young Lord'? The Young Lord of Team Rocket?
"You want to join Team Rocket?"
Mamon sat in Plumeria's seat. He asked Gladion with interest.
Plumeria stood beside Mamon. To be honest, she had not cared much when Gladion first approached her.
However, her subordinates had reminded her. Plumeria checked the special watch list provided by Domino. She was shocked.
It was Gladion, the young master of the Aether Foundation!
"…Yes."
Gladion was silent for a moment. He was a man of few words. His voice sounded cold.
"Why?"
"Does joining Team Rocket require a reason?" Gladion asked back.
"Of course it does. Even ordinary people need a reason. Some do it for money. Some seek excitement. Some are dissatisfied with their current lives. Some have no other choice."
Mamon spoke slowly with a light smile. He leaned back in his chair and tapped the table rhythmically with his finger.
"And you, Gladion. You are the son of Lusamine, the president of the Aether Foundation. You are the legal heir to the Aether Foundation. Why do you want to join Team Rocket?"
Gladion's expression darkened at Mamon's question. However, he quickly accepted it.
This was Team Rocket. It was not strange that they had investigated his identity.
"I have nothing to do with the Aether Foundation now," Gladion said in a deep voice.
He did not want to carry that identity label. He was Gladion, and only Gladion.
He did not want any connection to that terrifying woman.
"That is not the answer I want. Regardless of your subjective thoughts, you are still the young master of the Aether Foundation, are you not?"
"Is the great Team Rocket afraid of the Aether Foundation?" Gladion looked at Mamon.
"Ha? Afraid? What a ridiculous statement." Mamon laughed mockingly.
The Aether Foundation? How could they possibly compete with Team Rocket?
"The mere Aether Foundation is not worthy of being compared to Team Rocket. Gladion, you underestimate us too much."
Mamon did not hide his disdain for the Aether Foundation.
The Aether Foundation was powerful in the Alola region. However, an organization without a single Champion-level Trainer was simply not top-tier.
If Mamon wished, he could sink Aether Paradise into the sea today!
The destructive power of a Champion-level Trainer was no joke.
"…"
Gladion remained silent.
"Let me put it this way. What is your goal in joining Team Rocket?" Mamon asked Gladion once more.
