"Which region should we start with?"
"Manato, what do you think?"
Mamen didn't answer directly. Instead, he opened the world map and smiled at Manato.
"…"
Manato stayed silent. In fact, she felt this decision wasn't suitable at the moment, but both the boss and the young master were leaning toward it.
As a subordinate, what she needed to do now was simply think about how to carry out the plan.
"Based on what you said, young master, then the Galar region and the Paldea region are the most suitable." Manato thought for a moment before speaking.
"These two regions don't have any dark organizations, so we have a lot of room to operate."
"In theory, yes. But Manato, your thinking is still too conservative, and not comprehensive enough."
Mamen crossed one leg over the other, his tone relaxed and lazy.
"If we're looking to expand, then of course we should target the place with the greatest profit. Galar may not have a dark organization, but the entire region is controlled by Galar League Chairman Rose."
"To be honest, out of all the regions, trying to develop under Rose's Macro Cosmos group would be extremely difficult."
That was right—essentially, the entire Galar region was under the control of Rose's Macro Cosmos group.
This wasn't an exaggeration. As one of the most powerful corporations in the world, Macro Cosmos controlled more than half of Galar's entire economy. Its influence could be found in every field.
And if one really thought about it, the "dark organization" of Galar was basically Rose and his Macro Cosmos group.
Manato froze for a moment.
"We're definitely going to Galar, but not yet." Mamen's eyes flickered.
He knew very clearly—because he had been reborn—that Rose kept the source of Dynamax, Eternatus, in the Energy Plant.
One day, Mamen would break into that Energy Plant and take Eternatus for himself, but that time hadn't come yet.
"Paldea is the same. That region is managed far too well by President Clavell. It's not the right moment."
Mamen rejected Paldea as well.
"Compared to Galar and Paldea, regions like Hoenn and Sinnoh are much simpler."
Mamen concluded.
"It was my oversight." Manato pushed up her glasses and apologized.
"Haha, it's nothing. You've never studied this field anyway." Mamen waved his hand.
"Then what do you have in mind?" Giovanni smiled faintly at Mamen. Clearly, Mamen had prepared extensively.
"Of course—the Alola region!"
Without hesitation, Mamen placed a coin on Alola on the map.
"Team Skull in the Alola region is basically just a gang of troublemakers. And… Dad, do you know what makes Alola special?"
Mamen grinned, showing clean white teeth, his smile wild and fierce.
"It doesn't have a League."
Giovanni's smile deepened.
Manato froze.
"That's right—Alola doesn't have a Pokémon League! Although the people of Alola have applied many times in Kanto to establish one, they've always been rejected."
Ambition burned in Mamen's eyes.
Kukui dreamed of founding the Alola League. He had come to Kanto many times for this, but was rejected every time.
"But Alola will definitely establish a League eventually. That's inevitable. The Pokémon League would never abandon Alola."
Even though Alola didn't have a League now, as an island region, its tourism industry was the most developed in the world.
Alola's seas and beaches were among the best globally. And although they had no League challenges, their Island Trials were extremely famous.
"As long as we take control of Alola, then secretly support someone to become the future League Chairman of Alola, the entire region will be in our hands!"
"Isn't that interesting?"
Mamen laughed wildly.
"This…" Manato was stunned.
She never imagined—weren't they just talking about expanding the organization? How did it suddenly become controlling an entire region?
And supporting someone to become a League Chairman? The young master's idea was completely insane.
"Hehehe…"
Giovanni clapped, smiling. As expected of his son.
Young, ambitious, and courageous.
Even he had never considered this path. But despite its craziness, it was definitely worth trying.
"Then I'll leave this plan to you, Mamen."
Giovanni trusted him. He could tell Mamen was serious this time.
And of course—this child had always been motivated by challenges.
"No problem at all. Reviving the glory of Team Rocket is my duty!" Mamen grinned.
"You kid…" Giovanni couldn't help laughing. "Reviving the glory of Team Rocket, huh."
"So Dad, how many people are you giving me?" Mamen asked directly.
It was necessary—he was expanding Team Rocket's territory. Was he supposed to go alone? Ridiculous.
"You can take as many regular members and elite members as you want."
"That's whatever. What about executive officers?"
Mamen didn't care much about regular or elite members; he could recruit more once he reached Alola.
What mattered were the high-ranking officers. He needed someone capable next to him.
"The Beasts Trio are in Johto, the Three Admins can't leave, and the Four Generals must manage operations in Kanto."
Giovanni considered, then answered.
"So Dad, you're not giving me even one executive? Isn't that too stingy?"
Mamen's smirking face nearly made Manato burst out laughing.
"I want Apollo! You have to at least give me someone I can actually command, right?" Mamen complained.
Apollo—one of the Four Generals of Team Rocket. His combat strength was at Elite Four level, and he was Giovanni's trusted right-hand man.
His management skills and intelligence were exceptional.
"Apollo is impossible. I need him to manage most of the organization." Giovanni rejected immediately.
"Then send Lance with me, and reassign a few regular officers to follow me."
"…Fine." Giovanni considered, then agreed.
"Okay, Dad, just wait. I'm going to conquer a whole new territory for you!"
Mamen stood up in satisfaction. His travel itch was gone; now he wanted real fun—developing the organization.
As a transmigrator, what was the point without ambition?
Mamen had always believed that Team Rocket was the strongest evil organization in the world—the only true evil organization.
As for the likes of Team Magma? They weren't worthy of the title.
Mamen would swallow them all, recruit more powerful members, and build the strongest Rainbow Rocket Team!
