"So, what about you, Plumeria?" Mamon asked as he looked toward her.
"..."
Plumeria looked at Guzma. Her gaze was conflicted.
"Plumeria, you do not need to worry about me. Make the decision based on your own thoughts," Guzma said in a heavy voice.
"I... I still want to look after those idiots. Lord Mamon, I am also willing to join Team Rocket. However, please do not hurt the other members of Team Skull who are unwilling to join. Is that acceptable?"
Plumeria hesitated for a moment before she made her request to Mamon.
"Of course." Mamon stood up and extended his hand to the two of them.
He did not actually care much about those Team Skull members. With Guzma and Plumeria leading the way, Mamon believed that most of the members would join.
As for the few who were unwilling, he would simply let them go.
Originally, Mamon had decided to send those who did not know what was good for them to perform prison labor or work in the mines. However, since Plumeria had spoken up, it did not matter.
"Welcome to Team Rocket."
"Welcome."
"I look forward to working with you both as colleagues in the future."
Proton and Caitlin also spoke politely. They were in quite a good mood.
Proton sighed with relief. Although he did not know how capable these two new colleagues were, at least there were now people who could share his workload.
Caitlin felt a sense of novelty. This was her first day experiencing the dark world.
The scene of people being at each other's throats one moment and smiling the next was truly a bit strange.
However, as a member of Team Rocket, the fact that Team Rocket Alola was now stronger was a good thing.
"Next, Guzma, the two of you should go out and announce the news. Those who want to stay may stay, and those who do not are free to leave. We will not force anyone."
Mamon spoke to Guzma and Plumeria. He was not in a hurry to recruit people.
As long as the benefits were sufficient—such as paying salaries and providing Pokémon—he was not afraid of being unable to find subordinates.
"Fine." Guzma and Plumeria were clearly satisfied with this arrangement.
"Also, Plumeria, go to Proton to get the funds. Go and buy a few clothing factories."
"What?" Plumeria was stunned.
"We can start producing Team Rocket uniforms. You and Guzma should also change your clothes. If there is anything you like in the future, you can have the factory make it directly. This delinquent style of yours... you really need to change your aesthetic."
Mamon did not hide his distaste for the style and appearance of Guzma and the other.
Guzma and Plumeria: "..."
Caitlin pursed her lips tightly. If she had not been concerned about her image as a lady, she would have laughed.
The expressions on the faces of Guzma and Plumeria were simply too hilarious.
"... Yes," Plumeria squeezed out the word after a long silence.
"Then there is Guzma. You will take over the Entertainment City from Proton. You will be the boss. Utilize your fame in Alola to spread the reputation of our Entertainment City."
"What? Me?"
Guzma was stunned. He pointed at his own face in shock.
Wait, he was going to open an Entertainment City and be the boss?
**Chapter 16: You Cannot Use Me Like a Beast of Burden**
"Is there a problem?"
Mamon looked at Guzma with a strange expression.
"I have no experience being a boss or anything like that."
Guzma spoke with a troubled look. He was just a delinquent. When had he ever done anything serious?
Not to mention being the boss of an Entertainment City.
"And Young Lord, are we not a dark organization?"
"Who told you that a dark organization does not need to do business?"
Mamon frowned slightly, but then he sighed. It made sense. The quality of Team Skull was just like this.
"Guzma, running an organization requires money. Although money cannot do everything in this world."
"But if you want to get things done, you cannot do it without money. Do you understand what I mean?"
Mamon explained patiently to Guzma.
Guzma looked blank. He clearly showed Mamon that he did not understand.
"Forget it. To put it simply, our Team Rocket organization supports so many subordinates. Do we not have to pay them salaries?"
"Uh..."
"What are you 'uhing' about? Do not tell me you have never paid the brothers who follow you?"
"..."
Guzma and Plumeria looked at each other. Both remained silent in embarrassment.
"Furthermore, organization uniforms, base construction, interpersonal relations, intelligence gathering, collective actions, and so on all require money."
"Especially the part about interpersonal relations. No matter what, this cannot be avoided. The Pokémon League is powerful. If we do not spend money and offer some benefits to buy off some people within the League, how can the organization develop better?"
Mamon introduced the points one by one.
However, there was no need to deal with the Alola region right now. After all, this place did not even have a League. He only needed to pay attention to the Island Kings of each island.
Guzma's eyes were already starting to spin. Plumeria, on the other hand, was listening very seriously.
"We are just starting out in the Alola region, so we need to invest a lot of capital. However, we do not need to worry about these initial investment funds. They will be provided by the Kanto headquarters."
"But it is best to become self-sufficient as soon as possible. Therefore, the Entertainment City project must open as soon as possible. The Entertainment City can bring us a large amount of revenue."
Proton added.
"And Mr. Guzma, you have a lot of fame in the Alola region. The news of you opening an Entertainment City can bring sufficient attention. Our Entertainment City can be known by people more quickly."
Caitlin also spoke with a smile.
"But Boss... Big Brother Guzma's reputation is not positive..." Plumeria was a bit worried.
Guzma was indeed famous in the Alola region, but what was famous was his title as a bully. It was not a positive reputation.
"It does not matter. We can ask the newspaper to publish an announcement. The content will be 'Guzma Turns Over a New Leaf' or 'Guzma's Past.' Just write two emotional short essays." Mamon spoke casually.
"What we want is traffic and attention. A small number of negative comments from those hating on Guzma in the early stages is irrelevant."
Mamon was very confident in his Entertainment City. The most important project in the Entertainment City was the Game Corner!
Mamon believed that the rewards in the Game Corner were attractive enough!
The Celadon Game Corner in Celadon City, which was popular throughout Kanto, was opened by Team Rocket. The income it brought in every year was very considerable.
"Guzma, you do not need to do anything. You just need to show up when the Entertainment City opens. You can leave the daily management to your assistants. They are all professional talents."
"Oh, oh, oh! Then there is no problem!"
Guzma nodded. He was relieved. Managing a company was really not his specialty.
He still preferred to just hit people directly.
"In addition, Plumeria, after the matter of the clothing factory is settled, take some people to recruit more subordinates. We need enough manpower."
"Yes."
"Alright, you two go and notify your subordinates first."
After saying a few simple words, Mamon signaled that the two of them could go and handle the matters outside.
Guzma and Plumeria walked out.
"That settles Team Skull. It was not too much trouble." Mamon stretched his body. He felt quite relaxed.
"In this way, there will be no dark forces in the Alola region that can form an obstacle to us."
"Yes. Let us start cleaning up the Hunter Organization in the next few days. I do not want to hear any news about that trash in the Alola region."
Mamon spoke calmly. The so-called Pokémon Hunters were a 'profession' that accepted commissions from employers and then completed tasks to obtain rewards.
For example, Hunter J in the anime was one of the members of the Hunter Organization.
Mamon had no good feelings toward the Hunter Organization. The Hunter Organization belonged to a group that took a share of the business from the dark organizations.
Anything the Hunter Organization could do, a dark organization could also do. Dark organizations would also accept some commissions. After all, who did not love a big donor?
But Mamon hated the Hunter Organization. The reason was that the Hunter Organization only cared about the reward. As long as the reward was sufficient, they would take any task.
Mamon, who had traveled and been reborn, had feelings for Pokémon. He did not like people who treated Pokémon purely as tools and bargaining chips.
It was precisely because of this, under Mamon's influence and Giovanni's tacit approval, that Team Rocket had basically stopped doing genetic experiments. They also rarely snatched Pokémon from passersby anymore.
Mamon did not consider himself a good person, but he had his own bottom line.
You can be bad, you can be evil, but at least you should be an evil person rather than a pure beast.
However, the Hunter Organization could not be eradicated. Where there was demand, there would be a market. That was the world.
Even the world hegemon, the Pokémon League, could not eradicate dark organizations and the Hunter Organization. This was the reason.
The reason humans were humans was that they were full of desires.
Even in this Pokémon world, which was mostly full of truth, goodness, and beauty, it was still the case.
"Caitlin, I will leave this task to you. How about it?"
Mamon looked at Caitlin and smiled at her.
His attitude toward Caitlin was quite special because, in his view, Caitlin had the potential.
Team Rocket currently only had two Champion-level trainers—Giovanni and himself. But Caitlin had the chance to become the third!
"Of course. I would be delighted." Caitlin nodded with a slight, elegant smile.
Dealing with those notorious Hunter Organizations was not a burden at all for Caitlin.
"Yes, Caitlin. You can also design a set of uniforms for yourself. When you go to those darker places, I am afraid your beautiful dress will get dirty."
Mamon looked at the gorgeous noble lady and teased her.
"The Young Lord is right. Miss Caitlin should prepare some uniforms for missions."
Proton agreed with a smile.
"Alright, then I will go back and think about it." Caitlin nodded with a light smile. Her own Team Rocket uniform?
Caitlin fell into thought. This was her work uniform for Team Rocket. She had to design it well.
"By the way, when you are not busy, Caitlin, you can also find Proton or Guzma to spar with." Mamon suggested to Caitlin again.
He always believed that combat was the best special training.
"?"
Proton was startled. The expectant look in Caitlin's eyes made Proton's scalp tingle.
It was not that he was unwilling. The main thing was that Caitlin had time, but he did not!
'Wait, Young Lord. During this period, I have been so busy that my feet have hardly touched the ground. Where would I find the time to spar with Caitlin??'
'And is the one who is most free not you, Young Lord? You can spar with Caitlin yourself.'
'You cannot use me like a pure beast of burden, can you?'
'If you keep doing this, I am going back to Kanto, you bastard!'
Yes, Proton missed the leisure time in Kanto a bit. Back then, he could even go out every day to go shopping and eat small cakes.
**Chapter 17: Team Skull is Disbanded, Alola is at Peace!**
Team Skull was disbanded. Under the 'lead in defection' of Guzma and Plumeria, most of the Team Skull members also chose to join. Only a small number chose to quit.
