—------------------—
After confiscating all the Poké Balls from Rainbow Giovanni and confirming that he posed no threat, Mammon looked towards Mewtwo.
Mewtwo instantly understood Mammon's intention and willingly entered the Master Ball in Mammon's hand.
It's worth noting that all of Rainbow Giovanni's Poké Balls were Master Balls.
Although Silph Co. in this world has only produced eight Master Balls in total, other worlds are clearly different.
Rainbow Giovanni probably hoarded quite a few Master Balls.
"By the way, where is Pryce?"
With matters mostly resolved, Mammon finally remembered Pryce.
"Pryce? He refused to surrender, so I've imprisoned him."
Rainbow Giovanni said calmly. Although he had become a prisoner, Rainbow Giovanni clearly maintained his demeanor.
Rainbow Giovanni still very much hoped to recruit Pryce, because Pryce's strength was indeed formidable. So even though Pryce didn't agree to his offer of surrender at first, Rainbow Giovanni didn't harm him.
He always appreciated talent.
"It seems Pryce finally has some sense."
Mammon chuckled. Because Rainbow Cyrus possessed Dialga, Mammon honestly thought Pryce would betray them when he learned this.
After all, Pryce's weakness was too easy to exploit; as long as someone could help him save those two Lapras, Pryce would truly do anything.
But Pryce actually didn't join Rainbow Rocket, which truly surprised Mammon.
"Then let's go see him first."
Mammon pondered for a moment, letting Selene, Caitlin, and the others go check on the other battlefields that hadn't concluded yet.
Then, he had Rainbow Giovanni lead the way to where Pryce was imprisoned.
Calyrex had also finished its live broadcast. After all, with the battle over, there was naturally nothing left to stream.
However, the popularity of Calyrex's live broadcast was unprecedentedly high, and the internet was currently flooded with news about it.
The name 'Calyrex' could be said to have spread far and wide.
Calyrex was quite satisfied with this; it had faintly felt a hint of faith, proving that this path was indeed correct.
Currently, there were still a few battlefields raging on Aether Paradise, involving Rainbow Archie and his group, but Mammon had great confidence in his subordinates.
Arriving in front of a small house on Aether Paradise, this was one of the few locations that hadn't been affected.
There were no Rainbow Rocket grunts guarding the door; they likely noticed the commotion and went to join the battle.
"Long time no see, Pryce, you're quite disheveled."
Mammon opened the door. The interior decoration was simple: a bed and a table.
And Pryce was currently sitting in a wheelchair, quietly resting.
"..."
Hearing the voice, Pryce turned his head, his calm eyes showing a slight ripple.
"What? Is that all the reaction you have to me coming to save you?"
Mammon raised an eyebrow.
"I just didn't expect it to be so fast," Pryce shook his head.
It was indeed fast. Pryce knew Mammon would eventually fight back, but it hadn't even been a day yet. This was too quick.
So Pryce was truly a bit surprised.
"After all, I can't let an old man like you wait too long, can I?" Mammon shrugged.
"..." Pryce remained silent.
"But you performed very well this time. I'm very satisfied."
Mammon nodded. Without Pryce's rear guard, Anabel and the others wouldn't have been able to escape Aether Paradise Artificial Island.
It must be said that a Trainer of Pryce's strength is indeed useful anywhere.
"It would be even better if you could help me fulfill my wish," Pryce said indifferently.
In reality, when Rainbow Giovanni invited him, he was truly extremely tempted, because for him, his life existed solely for those two Lapras.
But... Pryce couldn't be sure if Rainbow Cyrus's Dialga in this world could truly achieve perfect time travel.
And how should he put it?
Perhaps it was because of his period of self-cultivation in Alola, the warm and peaceful days, that made him think of many things.
Although he could sacrifice everything for his tragic wish, Rainbow Rocket were, after all, invaders from a parallel world.
So in the end, he still rejected Rainbow Giovanni's invitation.
"We'll talk about it later."
Mammon replied. Pryce's performance this time was indeed good.
Good news subsequently came in from the other battlefields one by one: Rainbow Archie, Rainbow Lysandre, Rainbow Ghetsis, and the others were all captured.
Thus, the invading Rainbow Rocket was completely annihilated.
"Excellent, everyone worked hard."
At Aether Paradise port, Mammon praised his lovely subordinates with great satisfaction.
"Hmph hmph~ It was just a Kyogre, after all. Taking it down was a piece of cake."
Rosa proudly tilted her fair chin.
"Right, right, right." Hilda rolled her eyes. She was acting tough now, but she was in a sorry state during the fierce battle.
Although Rainbow Archie's own strength was not as great as theirs, Kyogre was indeed very powerful.
They truly spent a lot of effort to defeat Kyogre.
"Next, everyone should get some good rest."
Mammon said with a smile.
On the sea, one large ship after another sailed over, led by Guzma.
Mammon planned to bring the Rainbow Rocket executives and leaders back to the Kanto region, but there were also many ordinary Rainbow Rocket members.
Mammon planned to have Guzma bring people over to take charge of their processing: those who should mine and build roads would mine and build roads, those who should go to factories would go to factories, and those who should be absorbed would be absorbed.
This way, nothing would be wasted.
With the help of Hoopa, Mammon and the others returned to Kanto. After the fierce battle, Blue and the others also needed to relax and rest.
Mammon's gaze was a bit strange as he watched Blue, arm-in-arm, taking Red and the others to the massage area to enjoy themselves.
It seemed his massage area was set up correctly.
Indigo Plateau.
"You two worked hard, Mammon, Giovanni." Charles Goodshow smiled happily, personally pouring tea for Mammon and Giovanni.
His mood was, of course, excellent at the moment. After all, invaders from beyond the world—that title sounds terrifying, doesn't it?
However, now that Mammon had led his people to capture them all, he could finally relax.
"It's no hardship at all. We, Team Rockets, can't stand those vile invaders the most."
Mammon spoke with righteous indignation.
"Heh heh~ So, Mammon, how do you plan to deal with those evil elements? I also watched the live broadcast, and I heard there was even Giovanni's counterpart."
Charles Goodshow asked Mammon curiously. He hadn't paid attention to Calyrex's live broadcast at first.
His entire focus was on this 'bandit suppression' operation; how could he have leisure to watch a live broadcast?
But later, after being reminded by his subordinates, he went to watch, and as soon as he entered, he saw Giovanni fighting Rainbow Giovanni!
"Right? I was also very surprised, and I didn't expect Dad's counterpart to be doing so well."
Mammon also feigned surprise and joked.
Giovanni shook his head with a wry smile.
"Perhaps the lives in each world are different. I wonder what that Giovanni from the parallel world went through."
Charles Goodshow sighed with emotion. He was truly surprised when he first saw Rainbow Giovanni.
However, with different worlds, even the same person can have two completely different personalities and ideologies, so it's not strange.
"As for those Rainbow Rocket executives, I plan to imprison them first, and then see if we can assimilate them. Otherwise... I'll send them to mine and contribute to our world."
Mammon replied casually.
"That's fine too." Charles Goodshow nodded, agreeing with Mammon's handling.
After all, it was agreed from the beginning that Team Rockets would manage the underworld, and this matter was originally Team Rockets' responsibility.
"Mammon, you truly guarded the world. I must thank you properly."
Charles Goodshow sincerely thanked Mammon.
Otherwise, if the Pokémon League had to do it themselves, it probably wouldn't have been so easy.
"President, you flatter me. I am also a part of this world. How could I ignore such an evil force?"
Mammon waved his hand, very politely.
"Heh heh~ Well said. I'm planning to go inspect other regions next. Mammon, would you like to accompany me?"
Charles Goodshow smiled kindly.
"No thanks, I'm going to challenge my Master, Wallace, next. I'll be heading to the Hoenn region in a couple of days."
Mammon shook his head.
"You're challenging Wallace? The World Championship?" Charles Goodshow was stunned but quickly reacted.
"Exactly. Wallace and I are old friends, and this time I can have a good time with him."
Mammon's lips slowly curved into a smile.
"Hmm, then I'll go watch the battle live. The Hoenn region was already on my itinerary."
Charles Goodshow said with a smile, silently mourning for Wallace in his heart.
Hoenn region.
"I truly didn't expect Champion Giovanni from a parallel world to be an evil villain. That's truly terrifying."
Wallace was still recalling Calyrex's live broadcast, marveling.
When he saw that Giovanni's opponent was also Giovanni, he was truly astonished.
After understanding the whole story, he was very excited and cheered for Giovanni.
"Indeed, it's quite unexpected, but the difference is also very significant."
Steven nodded.
"Of course there's a big difference! Champion Giovanni also said that the evil Giovanni had no bonds whatsoever. How could such a person defeat Champion Giovanni?"
Wallace said very naturally. He truly held Giovanni in high esteem.
Because Giovanni had saved him from danger several times, and Wallace admired Giovanni's character and strength.
"..." Steven was pensive.
From the conversation, Giovanni and Rainbow Giovanni's life experiences were indeed very different, but why did Rainbow Giovanni become the leader of Rainbow Rocket? And he even possessed Mewtwo... Could it be that Giovanni from that parallel world was originally the leader of Team Rockets? If that's the case... Steven frowned deeply, but then shook his head, thinking it was pointless to ponder such things.
"Damn it!!"
Suddenly, Wallace, who prided himself on his elegance, cursed out loud while looking at his phone.
"What's wrong?"
"Mammon!! That inherently evil guy, he actually challenged me in the World Championship."
Wallace gritted his teeth.
"Steven, what should I do?"
Mammon, are you serious?
