"This interview is quite good."
Damian looked at the positive comments under the interview video and couldn't help but smile.
"Platinum, almost everyone is praising how cute you are."
"Please don't tease me, Damian."
Platinum felt a bit shy again.
"It's not teasing. You really are very cute. If I were a man, I would definitely chase after you."
Alexa was also there. She smiled and winked at Platinum.
Platinum's face turned red.
"Stop teasing her. She's about to turn into an ostrich," Damian laughed.
"This column is very good. From now on, you can run it yourself. You can interview whoever you want, but you must ask for their permission first."
Damian said this to Alexa. He had to admit that Alexa's interviewing skills were truly excellent. She made people feel comfortable while watching.
Furthermore, her questions were not particularly sharp, yet they were exactly what the audience cared about.
"Okay, okay—leave it to me, Boss!" Alexa was very motivated.
She felt like her luck had finally turned. Not only had she slept with Damian, the boss of Team Rocket, but she also had a huge amount of resources available to her now!
Actually, what she wanted to do most right now was interview the High Executives. Those High Executives were all full of topics that would explode in popularity, weren't they?
For example, N, the former leader of Team Plasma; Caitlin, the former mistress of the Battle Castle from a famous Sinnoh family; Zinnia, the successor of the Draconids, and so on.
But unfortunately, except for Caitlin, the other High Executives were not in Kalos.
As for interviewing Caitlin... well, Alexa didn't have the courage to bring it up.
After all, she could feel that Caitlin didn't have a good opinion of her right now.
But even without the High Executives, there were many people worth interviewing among the Executives, right?
Gladion, Drayton, Guzma, the former leader of Team Skull, and Archie, the former leader of Team Aqua, among others.
However, most of the people Alexa thought would make good headlines were in other regions. Alexa was actually very willing to travel.
But considering that Damian was currently in Kalos, and she occasionally had to stay the night to "keep him company"... no, to sleep with Damian, Alexa felt there was no need to be in too much of a hurry.
After all, Damian was very strong. Last night, she had almost fainted from exhaustion.
But Alexa felt it was well worth it.
"By the way, Boss," Alexa remembered something.
"What is it?"
"Um, the merit points I have in the organization... can the Pokémon and items I exchange for be given to someone else to train?"
Alexa carefully asked Damian.
She didn't actually have much talent as a trainer. If she did, she wouldn't have become a journalist.
But now that she had joined Team Rocket, wouldn't it be a total waste if she didn't use the resources in the merit shop?
"In theory, it's not allowed. You want to exchange them for your sister, Violet, right?" Damian raised an eyebrow.
"Boss, you are so smart." While Caitlin and Platinum weren't looking, Alexa winked her left eye at Damian.
An older, mature woman acting cute was unexpectedly charming.
"Ask Violet if she's interested in joining Team Rocket. That would actually be more convenient. In the future, your merit points can even be transferred to her. As for exchanging things on her behalf, rules are rules."
Damian thought for a moment and said this to Alexa.
"Okay, Boss! My sister is very willing to join the organization!"
Alexa suddenly straightened her back. This sudden movement made her chest, which was tightly outlined by her top, bounce for a moment.
"You woman, you were waiting for me to say that, weren't you?"
Damian found it quite funny. He understood now that Alexa was just looking for an opportunity for her sister to join the organization.
"Well, because my sister is a Kalos Gym Leader, I was afraid you wouldn't accept her, Boss."
"I don't care about that. Fine, take a contract and have Violet sign it."
"Got it! You're the best, Boss!"
Alexa was very happy. She felt that this was a great opportunity for her sister. With resources, Violet would definitely be able to grow.
Thinking of this, Alexa winked at Damian again while Caitlin and the others weren't looking.
"I want to come over tonight."
"Then ask properly."
"Boss, let me come over tonight."
'I meant I want you to call me that tonight.'
Looking at Alexa, Damian couldn't help but click his tongue. This woman really knew how to play, and she was very obedient and bold.
On the other side, in the middle of a vast desert.
A Braviary descended from the sky. Baraz landed and crawled into a cave. Soon, a look of joy appeared in his eyes.
There, a strange-looking jar was standing.
"I finally found it, the Prison Bottle!"
Baraz breathed a sigh of relief. He was certain that this was the Prison Bottle.
This was the item his great-grandfather used to seal Hoopa's power back then. With this, Hoopa Confined could regain its power.
Baraz didn't have any defenses up. He immediately stepped forward and grabbed the Prison Bottle. But at the moment Baraz touched it...
Two points of crimson light lit up in the two holes at the top of the bottle, which looked like eyes.
Baraz's body immediately froze. After two seconds, Baraz walked back to the Braviary with a blank expression, holding the Prison Bottle.
The Valley of Genesis.
It was still peaceful and quiet. Meray and Hoopa Confined were resting on the grass.
"That's strange. Why hasn't brother sent any news lately?"
Meray was still wondering why Baraz, who used to report his location, had stopped sending messages.
Suddenly, an eagle's cry came from the sky.
"It's brother's Braviary."
Meray's face lit up with joy. She immediately stood up and looked at the horizon.
The Braviary spread its wings and landed on the ground. Baraz, who was riding it, climbed down.
"Brother, did you find the Prison Bottle? That's great! You... brother?"
Meray took two steps forward. She was thrilled to see Baraz walking over with his head down, but as she spoke, she noticed something was wrong.
It was too quiet. Why wasn't Baraz reacting at all?
At that moment, Baraz suddenly lifted his head. His gaze was locked tightly on the confused Hoopa.
"Brother?!" Meray's pupils shrank. She saw two points of crimson light in his eyes.
In the next moment, intense black energy poured out of the opened Prison Bottle. It surged wildly into Hoopa's body.
The massive energy was like a mountain collapsing or a tidal wave. Hoopa was blown into the sky by this energy. Like an upside-down tornado, Hoopa's small body swallowed this terrifying energy greedily.
No, it was more like this energy was frantically forcing its way into Hoopa's body.
The sky was darkened by this black energy. Meray watched this scene in horror.
Now that the Prison Bottle was empty, Baraz groaned. His body went limp unconsciously, but he managed to support himself with his arms before falling.
"Brother?" Hearing the noise, Meray immediately ran over to support Baraz.
"Meray? Why am I here? Hoopa..."
Baraz held his head. He felt a sharp, intense pain in his brain.
Despite the pain, he looked up at the strange sight in the sky.
"Brother, did you forget? You brought the Prison Bottle back, and you opened it." Meray looked at Baraz with worry.
"I... that's not right."
Baraz's heart tightened. Was it him? But he had no memory at all of anything after he touched the Prison Bottle.
At that moment, the sky finally became bright again.
All the black energy had vanished. Standing in its place was a massive giant.
Its body was extremely muscular and strong. It was humanoid, with a huge braid standing upright, making it look wild and unruly. It had a large gray tail behind it.
Hoopa Unbound!
Boom!
Hoopa Unbound landed heavily on the ground. Under its massive weight, the entire ground shook violently.
"Hoopa's power... has returned!"
A rough telepathic voice echoed in their ears. It was completely different from the cute, child-like voice of its Confined Form.
Hearing this, Meray showed a joyful smile. Although Baraz still had many questions, he was also happy for Hoopa.
"Meray, Baraz, I..."
But in the next moment, before Hoopa Unbound could finish speaking, its face began to twist violently. It seemed to be suffering from unbearable pain.
Its giant-like body began to bend over.
"Hoopa!"
Meray cried out in worry.
Thud—
Hoopa Unbound fell heavily to the ground. Its eyes, which were originally clear, began to flash with a strange red light.
"Disappear!!"
A violent, furious roar came from Hoopa Unbound's mouth. The fallen giant stood up again. Its distorted, terrifying face looked like a demon god.
Meray and Baraz's pupils trembled with fear.
Hoopa Unbound slowly flew up. In its eyes was a flickering crimson light. The thick, violent resentment around it felt almost solid.
"Disappear!! Disappear!!"
A roar like that of an evil spirit rang through the sky. Baraz bit his lip tightly. He quickly picked up the Prison Bottle and aimed it at Hoopa Unbound.
Hoopa Unbound's body stopped. Black energy lit up and was sucked into the bottle.
A short time later, Hoopa Unbound turned back into Hoopa Confined and fell from the sky.
Meray quickly caught Hoopa.
Baraz sealed the Prison Bottle. Seeing the red light glowing at the mouth of the jar, he immediately threw the bottle onto the ground.
He had realized that there was something wrong with this Prison Bottle!
"Hoopa, are you okay?"
Seeing how incredibly weak Hoopa was in her arms, Meray felt a deep pain in her heart.
"Meray..." Hoopa opened its eyes with difficulty and looked at Meray.
"So dark... it's so dark inside. Hoopa... is so scared."
Hoopa spoke of its experience just now in a weak voice.
"It's okay. It's over now." Meray hugged Hoopa tightly.
"There is something wrong with this Prison Bottle. How can this be..."
Baraz also heard what Hoopa said. He was completely puzzled.
This was clearly Hoopa's own sealed power. How could it become something so evil?
"What do we do now, brother?" Meray didn't know what to do anymore.
She didn't even dare to go near that Prison Bottle.
"Let's get Damian. We should ask him how to handle this thing." Baraz thought for a while and decided to ask Damian.
Damian obviously had a lot of experience and was very strong. Most importantly, Baraz trusted Damian.
Damian was a man the Great One had noticed!
