—------------------—
Champion Cynthia is currently pregnant and temporarily not considering returning to Sinnoh.
Without a doubt, with Mammon's words, the Sinnoh region was truly about to explode.
Who is Champion Cynthia?
She is the current Elite Four Champion of the Sinnoh region, and it's no exaggeration to say that she is the most popular and revered Sinnoh Champion of all time.
After all, Champion Cynthia is truly perfect.
She possesses immense strength, unparalleled beauty, elegant demeanor, and a gentle nature; she is, in short, a flawless goddess with no discernible faults.
For the people of the Sinnoh region, Champion Cynthia is their pride and idol; even Platinum, in the past, became a Trainer with Champion Cynthia as her goal.
But now, Champion Cynthia is pregnant!!
Their perfect goddess is actually carrying someone else's child... the world of the Sinnoh region's people has collapsed!
"Wuwuwu... this isn't real..."
"Miss Champion Cynthia, Miss Champion Cynthia, how could you be pregnant with someone else's child?!"
"Ahhhhhhh! Mammon! You deserve to die!"
"What in the world is the Sinnoh League doing? Champion Cynthia was kidnapped and even got pregnant, what exactly are they doing?!"
"Wuwu... my goddess, why..."
In a villa in Sootopolis City, Mammon was engrossed in reading the posts on the Sinnoh region forum, finding it very amusing.
"You're really open-minded, still able to read that."
Steven poured a cup of tea, finding it a bit funny.
Ever since Mammon's interview came out, he didn't even need to think; the online public opinion in the Sinnoh region must be incredibly intense right now.
After all, Champion Cynthia's popularity in Sinnoh is simply too high.
Steven could somewhat understand, because when he handed over the Hoenn Champion position to Wallace, many of his fans were also very displeased and criticized Wallace for a long time.
High popularity inevitably brings such troubles, which are unavoidable.
However, as for this kind of online public opinion, it's fine as long as one doesn't pay attention to it.
"Only a mediocre person is not envied, and ultimately, they are all my wife's fans anyway."
Mammon shrugged, finding the online comments cursing him for 'ruining' Champion Cynthia to be quite amusing.
Steven chuckled, but still felt a hint of emotion.
Looking back to last year, when Team Rockets entered the Hoenn region, he and Wallace couldn't cope and had to call for help from other regions, with Champion Cynthia being one of the reinforcements.
Last year, they were fighting alongside each other against Mammon, and this year, Champion Cynthia is already pregnant with Mammon's child... How to put it?
Steven was truly very emotional.
"When is your first child due?"
Steven took a sip of tea; as far as he knew, several of Mammon's girlfriends were already pregnant.
"Lillie's is about two months away."
"What about Platinum?"
Steven thought of Platinum.
"Platinum still has about nearly four months, I guess," Mammon replied.
"That's roughly by the end of the year. Can she still make it to the main Tournament?"
Steven made a note, planning to bring a gift to celebrate then, but Platinum's due date would likely conflict with the main World Championship Tournament.
But as soon as he asked, Steven felt he had asked a foolish question.
Even if Platinum gave birth before the main Tournament started, would she still be able to battle then? Of course, she would need to rest and recuperate.
"The Tournament doesn't matter. It depends on whether Platinum herself wants to participate. If she has an idea, then it's fine."
Mammon shook his head; he actually knew that Platinum valued this World Championship Tournament quite a lot.
However, the child is more important. Platinum's ranking is in the twenties, so entering the main Tournament is not an issue now.
Originally, if she hadn't been pregnant, Platinum's strength would definitely have had a chance to challenge for an Eight Masters ranking, as Platinum's strength is very strong.
It's just that as her belly gets bigger, Platinum is indeed not suitable for engaging in mentally taxing ranking battles.
After Akari is born, if Platinum still wants to participate in the main World Championship Tournament, it's fine.
After all, with Mammon's Arceus power nurturing them, and with Legendary Pokémon like Calyrex and Xerneas at home, Platinum and the others' bodies won't have any problems.
Even if there were problems, they could be easily cured.
"I see."
Steven was stunned by the words. What? She doesn't even need to observe confinement?
Steven looked at Mammon, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say. Looking at Mammon, he seemed very confident.
After thinking for a moment, Steven said nothing more; after all, Mammon must have known what he was doing.
"By the way, I heard that Arceus Pictures, under your name, has already started preparing its first movie?"
Steven changed the subject and asked curiously.
"Ah, that's right."
"What is this movie about? If I remember correctly, you're planning to make a series of movies about Legendary Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon, right?"
Steven was very curious; he was very interested in this series.
Or rather, no one wouldn't be interested, after all, those are Legendary Pokémon.
"This one is about Mewtwo, tentatively titled 'Mewtwo Strikes Back,' telling the story of the bond between Pokémon and humans," Mammon said with a smile.
"That's a great theme. Is there any role I can cameo in, for free?"
Steven was quite interested; he was certainly no stranger to Mewtwo.
After all, last year, when Mammon rampaged through Hoenn, Dark Mewtwo's powerful strength was Mammon's greatest reliance.
And this "Mewtwo Strikes Back" is very interesting; Steven really wanted to see how it would be filmed.
"The protagonists are Mewtwo and Ash. If you want to participate, you can only be a minor role."
Mammon thought for a moment and said to Steven.
"That doesn't matter, as long as it's not a villain type of role," Steven replied with a smile.
"Don't worry, a handsome person like you, Master Steven, the audience probably wouldn't hate you if you played a villain."
Mammon teased, and he and Steven exchanged smiles, the atmosphere very harmonious.
Meanwhile, Wallace, who was happily looking at his photo with Kyogre, looked up suspiciously at the two of them.
When did Steven and Mammon become so close?
After staying in Hoenn for an afternoon, Mammon returned to the Kanto Rocket Team castle.
"It's been a long time since I've basked in the sun like this."
Rainbow Giovanni came outside the castle, twisted his neck, and squinted at the distant sunset.
After being imprisoned for more than half a year, he finally regained his freedom, albeit temporarily.
"How does freedom feel?"
Mammon was chewing on an ice cream bar, with Victini casually swinging its legs on his shoulder.
"Refreshed, but I really didn't expect you, Mammon, to actually be willing to let me out."
Rainbow Giovanni looked at Mammon with considerable surprise.
Since his defeat and capture at the beginning of the year, it had been more than half a year, and Mammon hadn't actually treated them badly during that time.
After all, they never lacked good food and drink, but the activity range was only that one room, and that was the biggest problem.
Rainbow Giovanni had also thought about negotiating with Mammon, but the current situation was that he was the fish on the chopping block, and whether to talk depended entirely on Mammon's will.
Originally, Rainbow Giovanni had thought that he would probably spend the rest of his life in that room.
"As long as you cooperate well, I'm not an unreasonable person," Mammon shrugged.
"Hehehe..." Rainbow Giovanni smiled without speaking.
"I can probably understand your father's feelings now. With a son like you, so-called ambition is just a matter of whether he personally wants it or not," Rainbow Giovanni sighed.
So, everyone is Giovanni, why didn't I think of having a child back then?
Rainbow Giovanni felt a bit helpless in his heart; Mammon and Silver, these two children, are each more outstanding than the last.
"It's not that exaggerated. Dad and you are still very different."
Mammon waved his hand.
"Moreover, ambition isn't completely absent; it's just not urgent right now. We'll talk about it after this Tournament ends."
Mammon had already obtained the method of traversing parallel worlds from Rainbow Giovanni, so in reality, as long as he wished, he could travel to other parallel worlds.
However, Mammon was not in a hurry right now.
"You mean that so-called 'World Championship Tournament'?" Rainbow Giovanni raised an eyebrow.
"Mammon, I don't think you're someone who enjoys playing house."
Rainbow Giovanni was not unfamiliar with the World Championship Tournament; after all, although his freedom was restricted, there was still a TV in his room.
So he had seen the televised ranking challenges. In Rainbow Giovanni's view, such entertainment-oriented competitions were meaningless.
But then again, Rainbow Giovanni's vision had long been set on conquering parallel worlds; even if the World Championship Tournament was a global competition, he had no interest.
"Uncle, you still don't understand. Our world is different from the world you experienced before."
Mammon tossed six Poké Balls to Rainbow Giovanni, chuckling softly.
"Oh?"
Rainbow Giovanni looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar Poké Balls in his hand. These were his main Pokémon that had been confiscated earlier.
And, it even included Mewtwo!
"I've signed you up. How about you go and experience it yourself? My father will also be participating."
"Heh heh..."
Rainbow Giovanni's deep eyes flickered slightly at the words. Giovanni will also participate?
"Not just my father, but also other powerful Trainers. I can tell you this with certainty."
Mammon continued, seeing that Rainbow Giovanni had shown some interest.
He wasn't afraid of Rainbow Giovanni escaping, because he had already had Origin Palkia set a spatial lock on Rainbow Giovanni. Without Origin Palkia's consent, Rainbow Giovanni simply couldn't leave this world.
Unable to leave this world, with Rainbow Giovanni's intelligence, he clearly understood that he only had the option of cooperating with Mammon.
"Without Mewtwo, there are really quite a few Trainers in this world who can defeat you."
Hearing Mammon's words, Rainbow Giovanni's eyebrows raised slightly again.
He didn't doubt the truthfulness of Mammon's words; after all, there was no point in using such language to discourage him.
"Interesting." Rainbow Giovanni's lips curled up slightly, and that intense, deep malice reappeared.
As the boss of Rainbow Rocket, Rainbow Giovanni's greatest pride was his achievements and strength.
He was actually still unconvinced about losing to Giovanni's Beedrill earlier.
After all, the battle between Mewtwo Y and Primal Groudon was not fair, with a Calyrex causing trouble for Mewtwo below.
If Mewtwo Y could defeat Primal Groudon and then return to help Rainbow Giovanni, Rainbow Giovanni believed that he would still be the victor!
"In that case, I'll go play along too."
Rainbow Giovanni glanced at Mammon. He understood that Mammon wanted him to also participate in this Tournament.
Mammon nodded, then seemed to remember something and continued to speak to Rainbow Giovanni.
After all, Rainbow Giovanni's natural villainous appearance would be wasted if he didn't make an appearance.
"Hmm, and then, I'm going to make a movie. Uncle, you can film a few scenes, and your Mewtwo is the protagonist. I've already talked to it."
