"Everyone, should we go look for Kyurem?"
Alder asked Steven and the others while he was hesitating.
He thought about it all night yesterday, but he still could not make up his mind.
Steven and the others were silent for a moment when they heard this.
"Can you tell us what you are worried about, Alder?"
Cynthia answered Alder. She could see that Alder seemed a bit unsure.
"Of course," Alder sighed.
"First, if we go look for Kyurem, it means we must start a war with Team Rocket."
Alder was actually very conflicted about whether to formally declare war on Team Rocket.
Until now, Team Rocket has not actively attacked the Unova League since they arrived in Unova.
Currently, Team Rocket only targets Team Plasma and dark organizations or hunter groups. They have not committed crimes like robbing regular people of their Pokémon or illegal mass hunting.
But if the Unova League begins to attack Team Rocket, it will send a signal. It will be a formal declaration of war.
It is normal for the Pokémon League to attack evil groups. However, Alder was still unsure.
After all, Team Rocket is very strong. Damian has a very powerful weapon: Primal Kyogre.
Furthermore, Alder is old now. He no longer feels like starting a fight over every disagreement.
"Second, we do not know Kyurem's strength right now. Also, its personality and temper... the legends of Lacunosa Town say Kyurem is likely a very violent and cruel Legendary Pokémon."
"If we go looking for it and wake it up, it might attack us. It might not necessarily help us."
Alder sighed. He gently turned the DNA Splicers in his hand.
There is very little information about what Kyurem has done. Most of what he knew came from the legends of Lacunosa Town.
But in those stories, Kyurem is a very evil Legendary Pokémon. There are even stories that it eats humans and Pokémon.
This felt a bit hard to believe.
"So, I want to ask for your opinions," Alder looked toward Cynthia and the others.
"This really depends on your own thoughts," Cynthia shook her head.
"That is right, Champion Alder. If you cannot decide to fight Team Rocket head-on, then there is no need to look for Kyurem."
Leon nodded. They could not give Alder advice on this point.
The incident in the Hoenn region in the past still left a bad memory for Leon, Cynthia, and the others.
They let Steven make the decision then, but the final results were very serious. Leon and the others still felt guilty.
"The Team Rocket led by Damian is not a purely evil organization. At least from what we know now, that is true."
Steven knew a lot about this matter.
"Yes, the Team Rocket forces in Hoenn really only do business. Sometimes their methods are just a bit too aggressive."
Wallace added politely. For example, Team Rocket's company would use small tricks against rivals.
They would spend money on ads to say bad things about their rivals. They would also spend a lot of money to hire away staff and buy inside information. But this is just business competition. It is much better than sending people to kill others.
However, this is only for now. No one knows what Team Rocket will do in the future.
There was no choice. The past record of Team Rocket in Kanto was far too dark. It was a history that could never be cleaned.
"But Damian is very ambitious. No one knows what he will do in the future," Steven said in a serious voice.
He still remembered what Damian said back then. He wanted to reach the top!
What did he mean by that?
"Even if Team Rocket currently just wants to grow their company quietly, we cannot accept it," Alder said in a low voice.
The Unova League is not ruled by him alone. The League would never agree to let Team Rocket move into the Unova region.
A powerful organization like Team Rocket is always a reason to worry.
Alder took a deep breath and finally made up his mind.
"Then let's go find Kyurem!"
Alder said in a heavy tone. He looked at the Officer Jenny Chief Commander.
"If we can get Kyurem's help, we will officially have the power to fight Team Rocket!"
The Officer Jenny Chief Commander understood. She turned on the projector.
"Currently, we have confirmed the list of high-level members of Unova's Team Rocket," the Chief Commander said.
"There are four top cadres in total. The leader is Damian. There is also Caitlin, Zinnia, and the newly joined Colress."
"From what we know now, the biggest threat is Damian. His current main legendary Pokémon are Primal Kyogre, Dark Mewtwo, Reshiram, Shiny Genesect, Rayquaza (uncertain), as well as Suicune and Tapu Fini."
Leon and the others did not care much about Suicune and Tapu Fini. The strength of these two Legendary Pokémon was not as dangerous as Damian's Mega Gengar and Tyranitar.
Rayquaza had appeared in Goldenrod City in Johto. It attacked the Johto Pokémon Association. It was very likely that Damian caught it, which is why it was on the list. But since it was not certain, they marked it as 'uncertain.'
But those first few Pokémon...
"Damian... he has already reached this level."
Giovanni frowned deeply as he looked over Damian's information. Damian already had a full five-star danger level. Giovanni spoke in a low voice.
"This guy... he is too much," Wallace said in disbelief.
Even if they didn't count Rayquaza, Damian's Legendary Pokémon already filled an entire team!
Cynthia, Leon, and the others all remained silent.
"So, if we really want to go to war with Team Rocket, we must get Kyurem's help," Alder said, looking very serious.
Otherwise, it would be better not to fight. The chance of winning was simply too low.
"Alder, we can also try to get help from N."
Leon rubbed his chin and suddenly spoke.
Alder was surprised for a moment.
"Ghetsis tricked and used N. Damian has already shown Ghetsis's true face. I think we can win N over to our side."
"That makes sense."
Alder's eyes lit up. N was a fighter they could win over.
N has Zekrom. He was not as strong as Damian, but he was still a very strong fighter.
"I will send people to look for N. If we find him, I will personally go to talk with him," Alder nodded.
"And where is Kyurem?" Steven asked Alder.
"According to the legends of Lacunosa Town, Kyurem should live inside the Giant Chasm. I will send people to search there. Once it is confirmed, we will head over."
"However, Kyurem's personality might be extremely fierce. If things go wrong, we will need your Groudon to step in, Gym Leader Giovanni."
Alder looked at Giovanni.
He still could not feel completely safe. Stories about it eating humans and Pokémon had been told. Even if those were fake rumors, Kyurem was likely not a kind or easy Legendary Pokémon to deal with.
"Please don't worry," Giovanni smiled slightly.
On the other side, in N's castle—it should be called Damian's castle now.
Sunlight came in through the gaps in the curtains. On the huge, expensive bed, everything was messy.
Helena's blonde hair was scattered. It looked like gold under the sun. She slowly opened her eyes.
She saw the handsome face of the young man. Helena stopped moving. Her brain seemed to stop working for a second.
But in the next moment, she remembered. Her beautiful face turned red.
-----------------
That was right. Last night, she had a wild night with this boy. Anthea was with her too.
Oh my god...
Concordia sat up. Her body looked beautiful. She looked over and saw Anthea. Anthea still had dried tears at the corners of her eyes. She was curled up in Damian's arms. The two of them were still sleeping soundly.
Concordia bit her lip. She slowly turned and got out of bed. But as soon as she stood up straight, she frowned. It hurt.
However, she was truly the 'Goddess of Peace.' Concordia looked down, found her clothes on the floor, and put them on.
She had willingly used her body as a price to ask Damian to let N go. Now that it had actually happened, Concordia was still very confused.
She did not know the future for her and Anthea.
Concordia left the room quietly. As soon as she walked out, she saw a girl in a long pink dress and Elesa standing beside her.
Elesa had come to prepare to wake Damian up. However, she did not dare enter the room. She was afraid of seeing something she shouldn't.
"Caitlin, Elesa, good morning."
Concordia placed her hands elegantly in front of her. She bowed slightly to the two women. Her tone was very soft.
"Morning," Elesa replied coldly. Her eyes secretly looked Concordia up and down.
She is really beautiful. Even though her top is very loose, it is clear that Concordia has a very good body.
She looks like she has a small frame like me. How did they grow so big?
"Is Damian still sleeping?"
Caitlin looked at Concordia's slightly strange posture and spoke calmly.
"Yes."
"Fine then."
Without hesitation, Caitlin turned around elegantly. She walked toward the stairs.
She felt angry inside when she saw Concordia like this. She thought those two women were shameless. They seduced Damian, and the two of them actually played with Damian together!
They were so loud! Were they not afraid the people next door would hear?
They are sluts!
She told herself to forget it. She did not want to be angry. She wanted to stay elegant.
Caitlin quickly calmed her emotions. There was nothing to be angry about.
The women in Unova have no shame. She could not expect them to be self-controlled like herself.
It's okay. In such a world, it is normal that Damian could not resist. But now that he has tried this, Damian will not fall for it again in the future.
Caitlin pouted her lips, but she quickly looked normal again.
"I feel like Caitlin is angry with me?"
Concordia looked at Caitlin's back and noticed this. Since she was the 'Goddess of Peace,' Concordia was sensitive to these things.
But why?
"Don't worry. Caitlin is just like that," Elesa said very calmly.
She was already used to it.
"Is that so?" Concordia tilted her head.
"Yes. Caitlin likes Damian very much. Everyone knows it. So, she does not like any woman who appears around Damian."
Elesa looked at Concordia.
"Especially someone like you who spent a night with Damian."
"..." Concordia's pretty face turned red.
"But you don't have to worry that Caitlin will target you. She is actually a very good person. At most, she will just say a few mean words."
Elesa said simply. She felt she had a lot of experience. After all, she had gone through the same thing.
"Caitlin likes Damian very much. As long as Damian does not show that he dislikes you, she will not hurt you."
Yes, this was the conclusion Elesa had reached.
She felt that even if she went to sleep with Damian and then acted proud in front of Caitlin, that elegant young lady would probably only be angry but wouldn't actually do anything.
Because Caitlin knew that if she really hurt Elesa, it would only make Damian unhappy.
Ever since Elesa was questioned by Caitlin that morning, her opinion of Caitlin had not been good.
But after spending time together recently, she began to admire Caitlin again.
To be honest, it was the first time Elesa had seen someone love someone as much as Caitlin did.
She is a total pushover in love!
