Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 46 Madam, you don’t want to either...

Etherland is an artificial island located in the center of the Alora region and is also the base of the Ether Foundation.

Many injured Pokémon can take refuge here, and in addition to protecting Pokémon, the Aether Foundation also conducts research activities here.

As for what they will research? What else could the Ethereum Foundation possibly research?
Of course, it's the Ultimate Beast that Lusamine has always dreamed of and longed for.

Mammon set foot on the land of the Ether Paradise today, and Lusamine came out to greet him personally.

Rosamune's mansion is located behind Etherland. The fastest way to get there is by car or helicopter.

"Mr. Mammon, what brings you to Etherland today?" Rosamune asked Mammon calmly in the car.

She didn't like Mammon at all. Mammon's gaze was very impolite, and his unrestrained, wild look made Lusamine very uncomfortable.

It felt as if he had been stripped naked, and it had been a very long time since anyone had dared to look at him like that.

But Lusamine can't just lose her temper because the other person is Mammon, the leader of Team Alora Rocket.

"Of course we're talking about some important matters. Chairwoman Rosamune, won't you take me on a tour of Etherland?"

Mammon, wearing a baseball cap, casually replied, his gaze fixed on the buildings outside the car window.

He had originally hoped that his visit to Ether Paradise would coincide with the appearance of a Nihilego Id in the game.

Unexpectedly, Lusamine didn't even take him to visit the Etherland.

“Mr. Mammon, don’t you have any self-awareness?” Lusamine replied coldly.

“Oh?” Mammon glanced at Lusamine.

“Dr. Kukui called me specifically to ask the Ether Foundation to keep an eye on your whereabouts.”

Lusamine said coldly that she would never want to get involved with the Rockets if she didn't actually need their help.

Especially with Mammon being such a dangerous individual, if Kukui and his group discover that he has been in contact with Team Rocket, the reputation of the Aether Foundation will plummet.

"If I take you for a stroll in the Ether Paradise, do you think your identity will be exposed?"

Although Ether Paradise was established by her, not all employees of the Ether Foundation are her loyal subordinates.

After all, many people join the Ether Foundation because of its reputation and Rosamund's charitable fame.

“I see.” Mammon wasn’t too surprised.

The Aether Foundation's influence is felt throughout the Alola region, so it's perfectly normal for Kukui and his friends to want Lusamine's help.

"Those guys, Dr. Kukui and his crew, are really making such a big fuss." Mammon chuckled dismissively.

Lusamine glanced at Mammon. Mammon's nonchalant expression wasn't feigned; he genuinely didn't care about Kukui and the others.

Are you that confident?
Lusamine's eyes flickered slightly, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Soon the car arrived at Rosamund's mansion, a very luxurious and grand house, where Rosamund lived quite well.

The two entered the mansion.

"Then please speak frankly, Mr. Mammon, what brings you here today?" Rosamunde sat down gracefully on the sofa in the living room and got straight to the point.

She didn't really want to have anything to do with Mammondo; her gut feeling told her that the boy was very dangerous!

In every sense.

"How indifferent. We are partners, after all, Chairwoman Rosamune."

Mammon leaned back casually on the sofa, looking around the living room, which was nothing short of magnificent.

"As expected of Chairperson Rosamune, the foundation must have made a lot of money. I really admire how one person can achieve this."

The founder of the Ether Foundation was Rosamune's father, but it was Rosamune who truly developed the Ether Foundation to its current scale! Rosamune's abilities are beyond doubt; even Mammon had to admit that Rosamune was a very capable woman.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Mammon. You are also young and promising." Lusamine remained unmoved, raised her teacup, took a sip of tea, and said indifferently.

She had heard these words far too many times, and her heart remained unmoved.

"Let's get down to business. I've heard that Chairperson Lusamine, your Aether Foundation has been researching Ultra Beasts, is that right?"

Mammon changed the subject.

Lusamine paused for a moment while holding the teacup, but then quickly returned to normal.

“That’s right, that’s exactly right.” Rosamina readily admitted.

The Aether Foundation has been researching Ultra Beasts and Ultra Voids, but ordinary people may not know this, since they don't even know what Ultra Beasts are.

However, the higher-ups in the Alola region all knew about it, such as Dr. Kukui and others; it was hardly a secret.

“Ultra Beasts pose a great threat to Alola. Unraveling the mysteries of Ultra Beasts as soon as possible is beneficial to Alola’s development,” Lusamine said calmly.

"Tsk~ Chairwoman Rosamune, you are truly amazing."

Mammon clicked his tongue in disapproval upon hearing this.

But there was a sarcastic tone to her words, which made Lusamine's face darken.

"If Mr. Mammon knew about what the Ultra Beasts did in Alola in the past, you..."

"There's no need to utter such high-sounding words and make a fool of yourself, Rosamune. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

Mammon tilted his head slightly, interrupting Lusamine. He had lost interest in listening to Lusamine's 'performance' here.

For Alora? This woman has a thick skin.

"What do you mean by this?" Lusamine's expression instantly turned cold, and her pupils lost their luster and gradation, becoming shockingly empty and chilling.

This is Lusamine's physiological instinct, which she does whenever she exhibits paranoid tendencies.

"Do I really have to explain myself, Rosamune?" Mammon leisurely sized up the mature chairman of the Ether Foundation, his tone relaxed and unhurried.

Lusamine stared coldly at Mammon.

"Why did you entrust us with finding Lillie and Gladio? It's not because they are your children, but because of Cosmog and the attribute: Void, right?"

Mammon spoke with a smile, completely unconcerned about Lusamine's cold and emotionless gaze and expression.

"You found them?!" Lusamine suddenly realized.

"That's right. Perhaps no one would have thought that Lusamine, the head of the Pokémon board, who appears to be full of love for Pokémon, is actually a woman who is terrified by her own children and is almost inhuman."

Mammon slowly grinned as he looked at Lusamine's unpleasant expression.

"Nonsense!" Lusamine stood up abruptly and shouted angrily. She clearly 'loved' Lillie and Gladio so much.

"Don't get excited, Rosamund. I know, you know, there are lots of 'treasures' hidden in the basement of your house, right?"

Mammon twisted his neck, his tone very gentle, but his words sent a chill down Lusamine's spine.

Lusamine's pupils lost their luster once more, and a deep chill quickly spread from the soles of her feet throughout her body.

The 'treasure' in the basement... How is that possible?! How could this person know about it?!
A devilish whisper quietly reached Lusamine's ears.

"Madam, you don't want the Elf League to know this secret, do you?"
