Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 8 Do you crave power?

The Dream Demon's curse was complete, and a gray aura of death drifted toward Metagross, striking its body like lightning, leaving Metagross no time to dodge.

"Mita!!"

Metagross growled in pain, and an ominous gray-black gas emanated from its body; the curse had taken effect.

"Metroid! Psychic!"

Cattleya's current state is strange; powerful superpowers are surging within her, but she is trying her best to suppress them.

She kept trying to calm herself down.

Metagross survived the first wave of the curse, its eyes glowing with a deep blue light, and a wave of seven-colored psychic energy surged toward Misdreavus.

Psychic-type telekinesis!

“It’s no use.” Mammon lowered his head and smiled faintly.

"Hold."

A green protective barrier opened up in front of the Dream Demon.

The powerful mental attack slammed into the Guardian, but it was useless; the Guardian steadily withstood Metagross's attack.

Cattleya's chest heaved again, and the blue light flashing in her eyes became more frequent.

"Bullet punch!"

Since simply attacking from a distance is ineffective, let's use the Bullet Punch to close the distance before attacking.

Gadria's idea was correct, but that was under normal circumstances. However, Metagross's condition was obviously not right at the moment.

Metagross's giant claws flashed with silver light, unleashing a Bullet Punch, a preemptive strike!

But Metagross had only charged a short distance when it suddenly stopped, as the ominous gray curse power struck again.

Metagross growled in pain again; the pain from the curse was intense.

On the other hand, the Dream Demon, upon seeing Metagross being corrupted by the curse for the second time, let out a sharp, piercing laugh.

Isn't this blatant mockery?!
Seeing this, Cattleya finally couldn't hold back anymore, and her powerful superpowers were unleashed uncontrollably.

She's going to teach this despicable and shameless dream demon a lesson!
Cattleya extended her fair right hand in a grasping motion, and her materialized blue superpowers instantly restrained the Dream Demon's movements.

The dream demon didn't struggle, but tilted its head in confusion, looking at Cattleya with a bewildered expression.

No, are human superpowers really that strong?

"mita?"

Metagross turned its head and saw that its trainer had fallen into a state of chaos again. It growled anxiously and flew towards Cattleya, trying to stop her.

"mita!"

"Go away!"

But Gadria shouted angrily, swung her left arm, and her superpowers surged out again, knocking the unsuspecting Metagross back to the side.

"So heartless? No wonder he got suspended by the league."

Mammon, however, watched with great interest as Gadriya went out of control. With the release of her superpowers, Gadriya's gorgeous golden hair was now flying up, creating a very imposing effect.

He now understood why the League banned battles between Cattleya Pokémon. This Pokémon-like ability user, who was practically a humanoid Pokémon, would be a real threat to most trainers if it were used against them.

"Gengar, make your move."

"Jie Jie Jie~"

A low, sinister laugh echoed, and two crimson pupils lit up in the shadow beneath Cattleya's feet.

"?"

Cattleya sensed something was wrong, gathered her superpowers and looked down at the shadow, only to meet a pair of evil, blood-red eyes.

Her mind suddenly felt heavy, and the blue superpower light in Gadria's eyes slowly faded, her pupils gradually becoming hazy and clear.

Hypnosis, Gengar used hypnosis.

As Gadria slowly tilted to the ground, Gengar immediately used its psychic powers to control her body, causing her to float towards a bench at the edge of the training field.

"mita?"

"Don't worry, it's just letting her sleep, it won't have any effect."

Mammon walked to Cattleya's side and watched as the 'Sleeping Beauty' comforted the Metagross who flew over with worried eyes.

Metagross breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, a sharp pain surged through its body; the curse was still in effect!
The Megalodon groaned in pain; this was the third curse, and its condition was already very poor.

"I almost forgot, I'll find your Poké Ball."

As Mammon spoke, he reached out his hand unceremoniously toward Cattleya's waist.

"?" The Metagross's eyes widened.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm getting you a Poké Ball."

Mammon rummaged around on Cattleya's waist and found several Poké Balls, which he then gestured to Metagross.

Yes, that's confirmed. Cattleya's waist is very flexible.

"..." Metagross felt that something was wrong.

"By the way, which ball is yours?"

“Mita.” Metagross raised its right paw and pointed to the rightmost one.

"Okay, come back first." Mammon opened Metagross's Poké Ball and recalled Metagross.

The curse status can be removed simply by recalling the Poké Ball, which is one of the amazing things about Poké Balls.

Just as it was retrieved, the Poké Ball opened on its own, and Metagross reappeared.

"Don't stare at me like that. If I really wanted to take advantage of you, the trainer, it would be as if you could stop me."

"I may like beautiful women, but I'm not a hooligan."

Mammon shrugged, thinking that this Metagross was being a little too wary.

"mita!"

“You’re right. Your trainer’s parent is so beautiful, I really like her. It’s normal to have feelings for her, right?” Mammon completely agreed with Metagross’s words.

Caldelia is exquisitely beautiful. Although she doesn't have an exaggeratedly voluptuous figure, she is still slender and graceful, and has a noble and elegant temperament. She is wonderful.

"mita??"

The Metagross was taken aback.

"Is it strange that I can understand what you're saying? Don't make a fuss." Mammon glanced at Metagross.

Isn't it strange that Metagross's mind is a bit confused?

About ten minutes later.

"Well……"

Cattleya slowly opened her eyes, her brows furrowed. Strange, what's wrong with me?
Before she could catch her breath, Gadlia turned her head and was greeted by Metagross's large face.

"Metamorphosis? What was I just now?" Gadriya slowly stood up, holding her head.

"You're finally awake. Is there anything wrong with your body?" The male voice from beside her startled Cattleya.

He quickly turned his head and found that the boy he had been fighting earlier was watching him leisurely.

Cattleya's memory cleared instantly. Right, it seemed like it was because she suddenly lost control of her emotions?!
Cattleya's lips were pressed tightly together, her expression somber; she still couldn't control that power...

"I was really startled just now. Such a powerful superpower suddenly appeared. I didn't expect such a beautiful lady to be a superpowered person."

The teasing voice reached Cattleya's ears.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Cattleya suddenly looked up at Mammon.

"Why should I be afraid of you?" Mammon tilted his head in confusion.

"My superpower..."

Gadriya lowered her voice. Although she didn't feel inferior because of her superpowers, she sometimes sighed from the bottom of her heart.

'It's better to have no superpowers than to have uncontrollable superpowers.'

She was a young lady from a prestigious family, a favored daughter of heaven, with an exceptionally superior family background, appearance, and talent.

However, it was precisely because of this powerful superpower that she was feared by people, secretly called a 'monster', and even banned from the competition by the Pokémon League.

What a blow and rejection this must be for a trainer who loves Pokémon battles!
"You're really strange. You have special abilities, so why are you worried about being feared?" Mammon asked with amusement, raising his right hand towards Cattleya. Green lights lit up and floated towards Cattleya.

Cattleya instantly felt much clearer-headed, and her body, which had been a little sore from sleeping on the bench, felt much more comfortable. This feeling was hard to describe.

"You're an ability user too?" Gadriya's eyes lit up with surprise, the surprise of finding someone like her.

"Of course, you know what? You shouldn't doubt yourself because of the abilities that God has given you; on the contrary, it's a gift from the world."

Mammon gazed into Cattleya's eyes and smiled as he spoke slowly.

"We are special! We are the lucky ones favored by the world! We can hold our heads high! We can tell ourselves, and we can tell others loudly, that we are the truly outstanding ones!"

"Only the incompetent and mediocre weak complain about injustice and fear and resent the strong. It is precisely because we are strong that they are afraid of us."

The boy's clear voice was deafening, but the superpowered girl's pupils were trembling slightly.

Yes, she was trembling, not from anything else, but from excitement.

"But I...I can't control it..."

But soon, the girl inevitably began to worry because of her past experiences.

"I've tried so hard, I really have! I didn't want to either, I wanted to control this power more than anyone else, but they don't understand, they won't even let me participate in Pokémon battles."

At this moment, this glamorous and elegant young noblewoman finally let out the pent-up grievances in her heart, and even her eyes were filled with tears.

Who knows? She really, really loves Pokémon battles.

Her best friend Cynthia became the champion of the Sinnoh region, becoming the strongest person in Sinnoh and looking down on the entire Sinnoh region.

But he couldn't even participate in normal Pokémon battles, which must have been incredibly embarrassing for a proud person.

"Then let's work even harder."

Mammon responded with a smile.

"Believe in yourself, believe that you are no worse than anyone else, do not resist your own strength, and wholeheartedly accept it."

"Since they don't understand, then there's no need for them to understand. Please remember one thing, beautiful lady."

Mammon spoke in a very gentle tone.

“The strong do not complain about how the world exists, but rather emphasize how the world should exist.”

"You are beautiful and you are strong. This is who you are, and you don't need to care about what others think."

"What you should do is transform yourself and then slap them in the face!"

Upon hearing Mammon's words, Cattleya's heart trembled violently, her pupils filled with the image of the boy before her.

Am I beautiful and powerful?

"There's one more thing..."

Mammon stepped forward, picked up the pink lady's hat from the bench, walked up to Cattleya, and looked down slightly at the charming and beautiful girl.

It was clear that a ripple appeared in the girl's eyes as he approached.

Mammon placed the lady's hat on the girl's head and straightened it. The girl's breath seemed to stop at that moment.

This is the first time this boy has gotten so close!
Cattleya could feel her heart beating fast, but thankfully, it only lasted a few seconds.

Mammon took two steps back and nodded in satisfaction. Cattleya did indeed look beautiful in her lady's hat.

"Be elegant. Always be elegant, no matter what. Be elegant and refined. That is your true self."

Mammon spoke with a smile.

"Of course, I always get a perfect score in the family etiquette classes."

Cattleya took an imperceptible deep breath, clasped her hands together naturally in front of her lower abdomen, and spoke in a calm and composed tone.

As Mammon said, she is an elegant and noble young lady, and she should maintain her elegance.

He looked so pathetic just now...

“I’m so sorry, I haven’t introduced myself to you yet. I’m Cattleya, from the Sinnoh region.”

Cattleya extended her hand to Mammon with grace and politeness.

“Mammon, my name is Mammon.”

Mammon took Cattleya's hand.

"To be honest, I originally just wanted to accompany Miss Cattleya during her special training, but I didn't expect it to develop like this."

"Yes, I am very grateful to you, Mr. Mammon, for teaching me so much today."

Cattleya had a faint smile on her face, which was very beautiful and touching.

"Miss Cattleya is a Sinnoh, what brings her to Alola? Is she here for a trip?"

Mammon asked Cattleya with considerable curiosity.

"No, I just came here for a vacation to clear my head because of some unhappy things."

Cattleya shook her head, then hesitated for a moment.

"Mr. Mammon, may I ask you a question?"

"of course."

"To be honest, I have a very close friend who I can't beat no matter how hard I try. Should I keep pursuing her?"

Cattleya bit her lip and asked Mammon softly.

Mammon raised an eyebrow, instantly realizing who Cattleya was referring to as her friend: Sinnoh Champion Cynthia (Cynthia)!

Because Gadriya only had one friend, Zhulan; even Shilan was just someone she hired.

"Chasing after everything is the beginning of misfortune. It's important to understand that there are things you can't do, and things you can do."

This is a scene from the game, depicting Cattleya's villa and what she tells the player.

Gadriya had actually been pursuing Zhulan all along, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not defeat Zhulan.

This reality gradually made Cattleya understand, and she gradually accepted the outcome, from an outburst of anger due to failure to a calm acceptance.

"Why do you ask that, Miss Cattleya? I cannot make that decision for you."

Mammon looked directly into Cattleya's eyes.

"The question you should be asking yourself is, are you content with failing time and time again?"

Mammon pointed to Cattleya's heart, his clear voice causing Cattleya to purse her lips tightly.

"I……"

Recalling her many battles with Zhu Lan and her numerous defeats, Gadriya's breathing became heavy again, her chest heaving rapidly, and a flickering blue light appeared in her eyes.

"Be elegant."

Mammon's voice came again, and green lights drifted over, clearing Gadria's mind, which had been in turmoil. The blue light in her eyes slowly disappeared.

Be elegant!
But after regaining her senses, Cattleya tilted her head somewhat blankly and looked at Mammon intently.

Huh? What just happened?
Cattleya's eyes were somewhat dazed. How did she suddenly 'come out' of her emotional turmoil?

Is it Mr. Mammon's ability?
"If the result is not what you hoped for, it's not impossible to try again, Miss Cattleya. You should be able to hear the voice of your own heart."

"...Yes, I am actually...very unwilling."

After a moment of silence, Gadriya confronted her own inner thoughts.

"Then go and work hard, improve yourself, and challenge your friends after you become stronger."

"Mr. Mammon, how did you become so powerful?"

Cattleya now roughly understands that this boy is very strong!! Even though he looks younger than her.

“Me?” Mammon chuckled softly.

"By confronting the darkness and reality of the world, one will naturally grow stronger."

"The darkness and reality of the world?" Cattleya looked bewildered; she didn't understand.

"Yes, Miss Cattleya, may I ask a question?"

Mammon's lips slowly curled into a smile, revealing a deep malice.

"Do you crave power?"
