Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 44 Sakaki: Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

"Mammon, didn't you say it wouldn't get too serious?"

Sakaki felt helpless and exhausted.

How long has Mammon been in Alora? Less than two months, and now?

They actually provoked the island king of the Alola region, and even the champion of the Sinnoh region.

Giovanni couldn't understand how Mammon, who was supposed to be the Sinnoh Champion, and Alola, two regions that had absolutely no connection, had gotten into a conflict with her.

“Yeah, I was already being lenient by not tying them up and throwing them into the mine. They were the ones causing me trouble.” Mammon clicked his tongue.

He felt he had already restrained himself quite a bit, but he should have restrained himself more in the first place, otherwise the Pokémon League would definitely not have stood by and watched Team Rocket 'ravage' the Alola region.

“Alright, I’ll handle the Kanto Alliance. Mammon, are you sure you want to do this?”

Sakaki hesitated for a moment and then asked Mammon.

Mammon had mentioned this plan to him a couple of days ago, but Sakaki was still a little worried, after all, in his opinion, Mammon's personality was somewhat wicked and flamboyant.

"Even if my identity is exposed, it doesn't really matter, because Naz and the others are also hiding."

Although it was a pity to give up his position as the Viridian City Gym Leader, Giovanni was capable of making up his mind.

Compared to his status as the gym owner, Giovanni is more concerned about the Rockets.

Nancy?

Upon hearing Giovanni's words, Gadria's eyes flickered slightly. If she remembered correctly, Sabrina was the Gym Leader of Saffron City in Kanto, right?
Is Natsume also a member of the Rockets?
To be honest, Gadalia was a little shocked. Both the Goldenrod Gym and the Viridian Gym are official gyms in the Kanto region.

An official gym!
Both of these gym leaders were actually infiltrated by Team Rocket?

No wonder the Rockets were able to thrive right under the noses of the Kanto League; they're truly impressive.

“Dad, it’s pointless for your identity to be exposed.” Mammon didn’t think it was a good thing for Giovanni’s identity to be exposed.

"What about your identity? If your identity is not exposed, there are many points that can be used. I told you to disguise yourself."

Sakaki rubbed his temples and replied with amusement.

“How can they be the same?!” Mammon declared righteously.

"Hiding and concealing is not the behavior of a true man! I don't care about all that fancy stuff. I just want to tell the world clearly that this era belongs to Mammon! It belongs to Team Rocket!"

"No matter who it is, if they stand in my way, I will crush them with absolute power!"

Mammon's words were very bold and domineering, and his voice was very loud.

Cattleya's eyes lit up as she listened; no wonder he was Mammon!

"Hehehe..."

Sakaki's eyelids twitched, and he chuckled softly. He summarized Mammon's words, and Mammon's meaning could actually be summarized in just a few words.

'Nothing more than a love of showing off.'

"Anyway, Dad, just focus on developing your career in the league and try to win a championship or become the president."

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of the Rockets for you."

Mammon patted his chest and assured everyone that he would inherit the position of Team Rocket's boss well!
"..." Sakaki couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Something feels off. This reminds me of those ancient kings who were forced to abdicate by their heirs.
"Fine, you have your own ideas. I'll hang up now. The Alliance people are already here."

Sakaki hung up the phone because a call had already come in on his work phone.

"Gym Leader Giovanni, are you currently at the gym?"

"Of course, Miss Officer Jenny, is there anything I can help you with?"

Sakaki replied in his usual mature and magnetic tone.

"Well, there are some things I'd like to discuss with you. Could you please come to Quartz Plateau?"

"Now?" "Yes, it's a matter of great importance."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Sakaki couldn't help but admire how quickly the Kanto Alliance had acted. He hung up the phone, got up, and walked out of the office.

“Real bird, if any Alliance members come to investigate, act accordingly and don’t obstruct them excessively.”

Sakaki gave a brief instruction to Masato, who had rushed over; he never left many traces.

While it's true that the Tokiwa Dojo has secret rooms, that's normal, and he's checked all the computer equipment; there's no evidence to suggest otherwise.

Giovanni believed that once he arrived at the Indigo Plateau, the League would definitely send people to search the gyms; that was inevitable.

"Yes." Masato nodded respectfully.

Giovanni left the gym, got into the car, and headed towards the Indigo Plateau. Viridian City is not far from the Indigo Plateau; it can be said to be the closest city to the Indigo Plateau.

About half an hour later, Sakaki arrived at the Quartz Plateau.

After getting out of the car and straightening his suit, Sakaki walked into the League building with one hand in his pocket. Led by a League staff member who had been waiting in advance, he arrived at a conference room.

"Master Sakaki."

"President Dama Lanqi, long time no see."

Sakaki smiled faintly at the short, white-haired old man in front of the conference table.

This person is none other than Darma Lanqi, the chairman of the Kanto League and the general president of the Pokémon League. In the anime, Brock calls him "the greatest person in the Pokémon League".

The Pokémon League has only been established for a little over a hundred years, and Damaran deserves much credit for its current status as a world superpower.

"Sit down, sit down. It's rather abrupt to invite you here today."

Damaran smiled kindly and gestured for Sakaki to sit down. To his left sat a solemn-looking middle-aged Officer Jenny, who was the chief officer of the Kanto region.

To Damalan's right sat an elderly woman in a Western-style dress, who was none other than Kikuko.

This is quite a big deal.

"President, you flatter me. There aren't many challengers at my dojo today. I'm just about to go out for training."

Sakaki remained calm, still wearing a faint smile, and nodded to the three of them before sitting down.

"As expected of you, Giovanni. If all the Gym Leaders in my Kanto region were like you, I would feel much more at ease," Damaranchi said with a smile.

"Actually, the reason I invited Gym Leader Giovanni here today is to talk to you about Mammon. Gym Leader Giovanni, you're quite an amazing kid. You beat the Indigo League in your first year of travel."

Dama Lanqi lamented that he had actually hoped Mammon would challenge the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto last year, but unfortunately Mammon did not choose to do so.

"President, you flatter me. This child still needs to work harder." Sakaki's smile seemed to deepen, and there was a hint of pride in his voice.

"Hehehe~ Gym Leader Giovanni is being too modest. Mammon led Team Rocket in Alola and even captured Tapu Fini, the island guardian of the Alola region."

Kikuko chuckled softly in a hoarse voice, her cloudy eyes fixed on Sakaki.

"What?" Sakaki frowned instantly, seemingly unable to believe what he had heard.

“Gym Leader Giovanni, your son Mammon has now joined Team Rocket and become a high-ranking officer, as well as the head of Team Alola Rocket,” Officer Jenny said solemnly.

"This……"

Sakaki was speechless for a moment, watching the three of them with furrowed brows and constantly changing expressions.

His eyes held a mixture of surprise, doubt, bewilderment, and confusion.

“Miss Officer Jenny, are you sure you're not mistaken? Mammon isn't that kind of person. He's been well-behaved and sensible since he was little, and I've always taught him the League's creed. How could he join an evil organization like Team Rocket?”

"That's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

After regaining his senses, Sakaki asserted decisively, his tone extremely firm.

It's as if they're saying, "How could the child I personally raised become an evil member of Team Rocket?"
