—------------------—
Wallace felt very melancholic. Just two years ago, he was the glorious Hoenn Champion.
He could proudly declare, as was his right, that he, Wallace, was the strongest person in the land of Hoenn!
Indeed, at that time, Wallace had the confidence to make such an impassioned declaration.
Because two years ago, this world was still very 'normal'.
But now, everything was different.
Ever since Mammon arrived in the Hoenn region last year, Wallace realized that the world had changed too much.
A group of young men and women, led by Mammon, who were written as 'newcomers' but read as 'freaks', were rising rapidly.
"I'm already close to dropping out of the top forty, and Mammon still wants to challenge me."
Wallace looked at his phone, his face almost Blue with numbness.
Indeed, more than half of this year had already passed, and Wallace... had endured more than half a year of 'beatings'.
Although Wallace himself didn't mind being stepped on by juniors, after all, in the world of Trainers, strong is strong, and weak is weak.
As an excellent and responsible senior, Wallace was actually very happy to see junior Trainers rise.
But... the number of times shouldn't be too many!
Ever since Blue started it, there has been wave after wave of juniors: Drayton, Kieran, Red, Ash, Gloria, and so on.
Who the hell could endure this?
In just over half a year, Wallace himself couldn't remember how many times he had been rotated.
He was already numb, and his ranking in the World Championship had plummeted, now in the thirties.
And what was his original ranking? His initial projected ranking was fourteenth... Hmm, Wallace had never actively challenged anyone, but now he was in the thirties. From this, one can see what he had gone through in the past half year.
"It's normal for Mammon to challenge you; he said he would challenge you a long time ago."
Steven patted his best friend's shoulder.
"Brother, I wish you good luck."
Well, Steven could only say that; otherwise, what could he do? His current ranking had also dropped out of the Eight Masters, now around the teens.
There was really nothing that could be done; there were too many strong people now.
As for Wallace being challenged by Mammon... it was only a matter of time... World Tree Castle.
"So, from now on, you'll live here. Not bad, right? Fully furnished."
Mammon led Rainbow Giovanni and the others to a large room in the back left of the castle.
"Someone will deliver your meals on time every day. You can move freely in your rooms. If you want anything, you can tell the servants, and they will arrange it for you if it's appropriate."
Mammon continued.
"Mammon, what is the meaning of this?" Rainbow Giovanni took a quick look and asked Mammon, puzzled.
After capturing them, they were well-fed and kept locked up? Although their personal freedom was restricted, this alone could hardly be considered a cruel punishment.
"After all, you are guests of unusual status. You should assign your rooms yourselves first."
Mammon smiled slightly, then waved his hand at the Rainbow Six and turned to leave.
The servants immediately locked the door and stood guard beside it; these were prisoners personally escorted by the boss.
And after Mammon left, the atmosphere in the room fell into a subtle silence.
Rainbow Giovanni pondered for a while, thinking about Mammon's intentions.
Rainbow Ghetsis still had a gloomy expression, like a dead M, indicating that his mood was very bad at the moment.
He never expected that an organization like theirs would fall, and fall so completely, with all executives and the leader all captured.
"Tsk~ In the blink of an eye, we've become prisoners. Giovanni, that person just now was the son of your counterpart, right?"
Rainbow Archie spat, looking at Rainbow Giovanni and asking casually.
He was actually very annoyed at the moment. After all, he really didn't expect that he, who possessed Kyogre, would actually lose to three little girls.
He had originally thought that even if he lost, his colleagues might come to help him.
But what happened?
Only after he was captured did he discover that Rainbow Giovanni and the others had already been caught one by one... "Yes, he is the one leading Team Rockets in this world."
Rainbow Giovanni replied indifferently, then didn't chat much with the others, turned and casually entered a room, closing the door to prepare to calm down.
Although he appeared calm on the surface, he indeed needed to calm down properly.
In just one day, his organization collapsed, and even he himself became a prisoner.
Rainbow Cyrus glanced at Rainbow Giovanni's room, then also walked into a room, preparing to calm down.
In fact, he was the first of the Rainbow Six to be defeated.
Rainbow Cyrus was currently questioning life a bit.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Rainbow Giovanni and Rainbow Cyrus leave one after another, Rainbow Ghetsis finally couldn't hold back, cursing with a distorted face.
As soon as he recalled that he was actually defeated by N, his mentality almost exploded.
He actually lost to the monster he had always looked down upon.
"What the hell are you going crazy about? You scared the hell out of me."
Rainbow Archie was startled by the sudden sound and cursed.
"Shut up! You brainless idiot!" But at this moment, Rainbow Ghetsis had already lost control of his emotions and immediately cursed back at Rainbow Archie upon hearing him.
"It's you useless people who can't even beat some natives, useless! Absolutely useless!"
Rainbow Ghetsis cursed incessantly.
His Zekrom, his ambition!
Now, not only was Zekrom taken away, but he himself had become a prisoner, his personal freedom restricted.
"It's all your fault! Useless things, I... Ow!"
Before Rainbow Ghetsis could finish cursing, he received a solid punch to the face.
The powerful fist landed directly on Rainbow Ghetsis's face. Rainbow Ghetsis had never encountered such a thing and fell to the ground, dizzy and disoriented.
The intense pain in his face made him completely stunned as he looked at Rainbow Archie, who was grinning coldly.
Yes, it was Rainbow Archie who had struck just now.
Rainbow Maxie stood by with cold eyes, while Rainbow Lysandre leaned against the wall, arms crossed, indifferent.
"Archie, you... you dared to hit me!"
Rainbow Ghetsis finally came to his senses, covering his face with wide eyes, his voice becoming sharp.
"You scrawny monkey, for me to hit you once is giving you face, understand?"
Rainbow Archie looked down at Rainbow Ghetsis, twisted his neck, and grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
He had long been annoyed with Rainbow Ghetsis, and now that Kyogre had been confiscated, he was already in a bad mood.
This Rainbow Ghetsis actually dared to keep blabbering. Did he really think his muscles grew for nothing?
"You!!"
Rainbow Ghetsis's face was extremely gloomy and ugly. He subconsciously tried to grab a Poké Ball but found nothing.
Only then did he remember that all the Poké Balls on him had been confiscated by Team Rockets.
"Bastard! I won't let you off!"
But Rainbow Ghetsis was already overcome with anger at this moment. He stood up and pounced towards Rainbow Archie.
Then... Bang!
Rainbow Archie kicked Rainbow Ghetsis squarely in the chest, knocking him back to the ground, where he howled in pain.
"What are you trying to pull with your Uncle Archie?"
Then Rainbow Archie straddled Rainbow Ghetsis and slapped him repeatedly across the face.
"Scream! You damn well scream again! I'll beat you to death!"
"Ah ah ah ah! Help! Help!!!"
Rainbow Maxie and Rainbow Lysandre's eyes twitched. They exchanged glances, then silently turned and entered their rooms, locking the doors.
Hmm, this day was the victory of the prison bully, Rainbow Archie!
...Two days passed in a flash.
Sootopolis City, known as the 'mysterious city where history sleeps'.
And this city was also Wallace's hometown.
Mammon had arrived in Sootopolis City because today was the day of his ranking battle with Wallace.
On a spacious battle arena, Wallace, clad in his beloved white robe, had a beautiful, expressionless face.
Opposite him was Mammon.
Quite a crowd had gathered around, as ranking battles could actually be checked, and the battle between Mammon and Wallace actually garnered a lot of attention.
Although Wallace's record this year was not very good, as he lost every battle.
But Wallace's popularity was still very high. After all, he was the only Master-level Coordinator Trainer and had previously served as the Hoenn Champion.
Of course, image was also very important, and Wallace had a huge number of female fans.
"Now commencing the World Championship ranking challenge match. The challenger is Mammon, ranked No. 62, and the defender is Wallace, ranked No. 37."
"The battle rule is a 6-on-6 full team battle. When all six Pokémon of one side lose their ability to battle, the other side wins!"
"If the winner is the challenger, they will receive the defender's ranking."
"Battle start!"
The official referee announced the battle rules, then bowed to both sides and slowly exited the battle arena.
Whenever a battle involved the top fifty in the World Championship rankings, the battle rules would change to a full team battle.
This was also a rule specifically customized by Mammon, otherwise, with 3-on-3, there would be too many various factors.
A full team battle was the battle that best tested a Trainer's overall strength.
"I wonder if Mr. Wallace can withstand Mammon's assault..."
"It's very difficult. Mammon is the leader of Team Rockets, after all, and it's impossible to determine how strong he really is."
"I believe in Mr. Wallace! Mr. Wallace will definitely win this time!"
"If he loses again this time, has anyone calculated how many consecutive losses this will be?"
"Uh, are you a hater of Mr. Wallace?"
Listening to the whispers of the surrounding crowd, Steven shook his head helplessly.
Beside Steven, May stifled a laugh. She didn't know what to say, as she was also one of the 'culprits' behind Wallace's ranking drop.
"Master Wallace, it's been a long time."
Mammon took out a Poké Ball and spoke to Wallace with a smile.
Master Wallace pretended to be aloof and didn't really want to acknowledge Mammon.
"I came to challenge you today, Master Wallace, and I have specially prepared an entire Water-type team. I hope you will enjoy it, Master Wallace."
"Water-type team?"
Wallace raised an eyebrow at the words. Mammon's Water-type team?
