Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 23, isn't this a bit too exciting?

"Mr. Mammon, it's just finding two people. Is that difficult for your organization?"

Lusamine felt that the boy was just giving her the runaround.

Upon hearing this, Mammon smiled.

“Our organization has just arrived in Alora, and we have a lot of things to deal with right now.”

Mammon said calmly.

"At present, we haven't even fully taken over the territory in Alora yet, and we're already short-handed."

"President Rosamune, we are very happy to establish a good cooperative relationship with you, but it is not realistic for us to spare manpower to help you find two people at this time."

Mammon tilted his head slightly to look at Lusamine.

"Besides, Team Rocket is a dark organization. Finding people isn't our specialty. You should hire a private investigator instead."

Upon hearing this, Lusamine stared intently at the seemingly carefree and unruly boy.

"These two people are very important to me. I would be grateful if your organization could help me. I will repay you handsomely afterward."

Although Mammon spoke eloquently, Rosamune did not believe him.

If the Rockets really wanted to help, they would have plenty of players available; he's just asking for something in return.

After all, Mammon initially said 'it's difficult,' not 'it can't be done.'

"I see. Since Chairperson Lusamine is being so sincere..."

Mammon slowly raised a smile and gestured to Cattleya.

Cattleya took out a document she had prepared in advance and gracefully handed it to Rosamune.

They even prepared the conditions in advance?

Rosamina controlled her facial expression, took the documents, glanced at them, and then frowned.

"Please, Chairwoman Rosamune, buy these properties and then transfer them to us, is that alright?" Mammon asked with a smile.

What has been troubling Lance for a long time is that the locals in Alora are unwilling to sell him land, and even renting it is rare.

However, this wouldn't be a problem if it were Lusamine, as she is not only a native of Alola but also has an excellent reputation in Alola.

Of course, this is on the premise that Rosamund is willing.

“Mr. Mammon, aren’t you going a bit too far?” Lusamine looked up at Mammon, her gaze as sharp as a knife.

"With so many properties, no matter how discreetly I operate, anyone with a keen eye will easily notice where you place my Ether Foundation."

Lusamine's tone had taken on a hint of coldness.

Buying real estate and then transferring it to the Rockets isn't difficult; the challenge lies in doing it discreetly.

Once the outside world discovers that the Ether Foundation is 'colluding' with Team Rocket, her carefully cultivated persona and image over the years will completely collapse.

But Mammon was in no hurry.

“If Chairperson Rosamune finds it difficult, we can take it slowly. There’s no need to buy it all at once. As for the money to buy the real estate, we will cover it.”

Mammon smiled as he looked at Lusamine.

"Of course, if Chairperson Lusamine is unwilling, we will not force her."

Lusamine remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was furious. This Team Rocket kid was going too far!

As the pupils gradually lost their highlights and gradations, Rosamune's empty eyes sent chills down one's spine.

This is Lusamine's physiological habit; when she develops paranoid tendencies, her pupils change.

“You must help me find these two children,” Rosamune said coldly.

This indirectly means that she agreed. Compared to Cosmog, she was willing to take this small risk!
"Of course, it's a pleasure to cooperate, Chairperson Rosamune."

Mammon's smile deepened as he looked at Rosamund, who was high and mighty, with an expression of extreme displeasure yet forced to bow her head. He found it quite amusing.

After a brief exchange, Rosamund left, saying she had other matters to attend to.

"When a person has a weakness, they are really easy to exploit."

Mammon leaned back lazily in his chair, took a sip of red wine, and said softly.

What to say?

If she weren't so desperate to find Lillie and Nebula, Rosamund would never have agreed to such a condition.

"These two people must be Chairperson Lusamine's children, right?"

Gadriya picked up the photo and glanced at it, easily guessing the relationship between them.

After all, both Gladion and Lillie bear some resemblance to Lusamine.

But isn't that even stranger?
Despite being blood relatives, Lusamine is willing to risk everything to seek out a dark organization like Team Rocket to retrieve her children.

"And... Mammon, Gladio is a member of the organization, isn't he?"

Cattleya looked at Mammon, a slight smile playing on her lips. She had never met Gladion, but Mammon had mentioned him when he was communicating with Bulmer.

The meticulous Cattleya took note of it.

“That’s right, Gladion joined the organization some time ago.” Mammon nodded.

As for telling Rosamund? Why would you tell her?
As for saying things like "not keeping one's word," that's laughable. You're talking about keeping your word when negotiating with a dark organization?
Besides, Mammon will take Gladion to see Lusamine, but not now. Right now, Lusamine's mind is full of Ultra Space and Ultra Beasts; she's practically possessed by a demon.

Gladion's 'special attack' effect on Lusamine at this stage is not significant enough.

After Lusamine 'turns over a new leaf', both Lillie and Gladio will become Lusamine's beloved children.

"Mammon, you're such a liar."

Caldelia recalled the conversation between Mammon and Lusamine and couldn't help but make this remark.

However, she didn't dislike it. On the contrary, she thought that with such a status and position, how could one grow big and powerful without being cunning?
"If we find an opportunity, we can completely take over the Ether Foundation, and then our plans for Alora can take a big step forward."

Mammon's eyes flickered slightly. In his plan, Lusamine was someone he had to control, since there was no one more suitable than her.

And Ether Paradise is also a good place.

"Hmm~"

Caldelia's fair and delicate face was smiling, and her soft, clear voice seemed to have a nasal tone.

Cute.

Meanwhile, Mammon was already thinking about how to use Lillie and Gladion to blackmail Lusamine back to normal.

Presumably, this great mother would be willing to make sacrifices for her beloved children under normal circumstances.

"I call you 'sister,' and you call me 'dad'? Hmm~ Isn't that a bit too exciting?"

Mammon muttered to himself, wondering if he was really that kind of person...?

"Mammon, what did you just say?"

Caldelia was puzzled; Mammon's voice was too soft for her to hear clearly.

"No, I'm thinking about how to win over Rosamund."
