Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 26 Princess Acerola of Antiquity

On Ula Ula Island, Mammon and Cattleya returned to the island once again.

Aether House is a small outpost of the Aether Foundation, known as a 'model of Pokémon and humans living together in harmony'.

The Aether Foundation is an organization dedicated to protecting Pokémon, and so is the Aether House.

The staff at the House of Aether take in injured Pokémon from the wild and also adopt orphans to live there.

It's like the children's welfare home in Mammon's previous life.

This is why the Ether Foundation has such a good reputation in the Alora region.

Lusamine's dark side remains unknown, while the Aether Foundation's efforts to rescue wild Pokémon and people are naturally admired.

Mammon and Gadria arrived at the House of Aether, bringing with them a lot of supplies for the children and Pokémon.

“Thank you so much for visiting the children,” said a staff member of the Ether Foundation, expressing their gratitude.

Mammon and his companion brought a lot of snacks, toys, books, and clothes.

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor," Mammon replied with a smile.

Meanwhile, Gadriya was patiently telling stories to the children with Mibrim, who had evolved into Tibrim.

"You guys have worked so hard, taking care of them and protecting them. It must have been very tiring."

Looking at the innocent smiles on the children's faces, Mammon couldn't help but smile as well.

"No, many kind people usually come to play with them, and the children are very well-behaved. If I had to say something..."

The foundation employee recalled what had happened before, and an angry expression involuntarily appeared on his face.

“When the Skull Team was still around, they would often come to harass us. Those thugs had no compassion and would bully these lovely children.”

For the staff of the Ether Foundation, the most hated team is undoubtedly the Skull Team.

According to the foundation staff, those thugs were worse than animals, not only lacking any empathy, but also actively harassing them.

But what most Ether Foundation employees didn’t know was that their beloved Chairwoman Lusamine had been in contact with Guzma all along.

"But now that the Skull Team is gone, our lives are much more peaceful."

Then the foundation member remarked.

When he learned that the Skull Team had disbanded, the employee was overjoyed. He just didn't know who had disbanded the Skull Team, otherwise he would have burned incense for that person!
"That would be best."

Mammon chuckled. The Skull Team was indeed universally disliked, but the Rocket Team was not.

Although they are a dark organization, Team Rocket is not an organization that bullies ordinary people on a whim, especially not a benevolent organization like the House of Aether.

Mammon disagrees, saying, "Who says that evil organizations can take pleasure in bullying ordinary people?"
"Hi everyone, I'm back again."

Just then, a chubby-cheeked girl in a black and blue dress walked in through the open door, her lively and clear voice very pleasant.

Upon seeing the girl, the children immediately rushed to greet her happily.

"Sister Acerola~!"

"Sweetie, did you study hard today?"

The girl named Acerola narrowed her eyes into crescent moons as she looked at the children with a smile.

Mammon watched this scene quietly, but his gaze remained fixed on Acerola.

Her hair was a deep purple, medium length, with a hairstyle similar to that of the Good and Bad Stars. She had a cute, slightly chubby face, a slender and petite body, and wore a long dress with clear signs of patching. She also wore a gold armlet on her left arm.

This is Acerola, one of the captains of Ula Ula Island, and she is also the future Alola Ghost-type Elite Four!
A friendly and lively girl, though she looks dressed in tattered clothes, but that's just Acerola's preference; her father owns the library in the city of Marieux.

It is worth mentioning that Acerola is a descendant of the Alora royal family, and the armlet on her left arm is a royal bracelet.

Of course, with the Elf Alliance now in power, the era of kingdoms is long gone. Although there are still so-called princesses and kings in some places, they are actually just different titles.

Just like Acerola, who claims to be an 'ancient princess,' but that's just a self-proclaimed title. "There are unfamiliar faces here. Hello, I'm Acerola."

After calming the children down, Acerola blinked her big eyes, gave a bright and lovely smile, and introduced herself to Mammon and Cattleya.

It's clear that this is a rather extroverted social terrorist.

“We’ve heard of Captain Acerola of Ula Ula Island as well,” Mammon said with a smile.

"I am Mammon."

"I am Cattleya, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Cattleya gave a graceful bow, her beautiful eyes fixed on Acerola with considerable curiosity.

The main reason Mammon brought her to the House of Ether was Acerola.

"Cadelia, you're so beautiful."

Acerola's exclamation was genuine; she was truly amazed by Cattleya's beauty and charm.

That kind of noble and elegant temperament of a young lady from a wealthy family is not something that ordinary people can possess.

"Thank you, Acerola, you're beautiful too, and your dress is very stylish."

"Hehe~ Really? Acerola is so happy, Acerola made this herself."

Acerola's eyes narrowed into crescent moons. Girls are naturally happy to be praised, especially when the person praising her is such a beautiful girl.

She is a very innocent girl.

Almost immediately, Cattleya made a judgment in her mind.

Acerola's personality can be discerned from just a few words of conversation.

"Acerola, are you free right now?" Mammon asked at the opportune moment.

"Hmm... Acerola has nothing to do right now, so she came to hang out with everyone."

Acerola tilted her head in confusion, but still answered the question.

"Then could you please have a match with Cattleya? A full-on battle."

"Huh?" Acerola was taken aback.

“Acerola, is that alright?” Cattleya asked in return.

"Well... I'm very strong, you know."

Acerola hesitated for a moment. Although she was innocent, Acerola knew that she was very strong.

If she goes all out, she could very well break the opponent's mentality. Well, many trainers on Ula Ula Island have suffered from her 'vicious hand'.

"Don't worry about that, Cattleya is a very strong trainer too," Mammon said with a smile.

"Really? Okay, I also really enjoy playing against others."

Acerola's eyes brightened slightly, and then she revealed a charming smile with her eyebrows curving upwards.

Mammon smiled without saying a word, looking at the two girls. Recently, Cattleya has made great progress, and it's time to find her a more challenging opponent.

Acerola, a Champion-level champion specializing in Ghost-type Pokémon, is quite good.

Although Mammon is also skilled in Ghost-type Pokémon, his current strength far surpasses that of Cattleya, so the effect of training with him is ultimately imperfect.

For a powerful trainer, battling against type disadvantages is an essential skill.

Well, Gadria, keep it up!
