"I am so conflicted!"
Rosa grabbed the two buns on top of her head in frustration.
"What is there for you to be conflicted about?"
Hilda couldn't help but roll her eyes at Rosa. Even though Damian had given Rosa three options, in Hilda's view, two of them were extremely difficult.
"Where are you going to find a Salamence or a Metagross?"
Among the three choices, Kangaskhan, Salamence, and Metagross, Salamence and Metagross were both pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
Furthermore, their main habitat was in the Hoenn region. It was true that one could exchange for a Bagon or a Beldum on the app, and their talent and potential could be guaranteed.
However, the merit points required to exchange for a pseudo-legendary Pokémon were 50,000 points!
Was Rosa not going to get Tornadus anymore?
So, in Hilda's eyes, Rosa actually only had one real choice.
"That seems true," Rosa said, startled for a moment.
"Actually, it is not particularly difficult. If you want one, you can take a trip to Meteor Falls in Hoenn to try your luck. That is where wild Bagon live, but don't expect too much."
Damian naturally heard the conversation between Rosa and Hilda. He spoke up with a smile and offered a suggestion.
Meteor Falls had always been the main area where Bagon appeared. However, this was not a secret.
Trainers were always trying to go to Meteor Falls to find Bagon. However, very few people actually caught a Bagon there.
First, it was because the deeper parts of Meteor Falls were among the most dangerous wild areas in the Hoenn region. Most of the wild Pokémon there were at very high levels. For an ordinary Trainer, it was very dangerous.
Second, even though it was called a habitat, the Meteor Falls area was huge. Also, the number of Bagon was really not that high. It was not easy to run into one.
"I think I will go catch a Kangaskhan. Parental Bond feels very interesting too."
Rosa decisively chose Kangaskhan. Hoenn was too far from Unova, and she might not even find anything.
A Normal-type Kangaskhan had very good strength among Normal-type Pokémon. Moreover, looking at the description of its Mega Evolution Ability, Parental Bond, it had great training value.
This was because the Mega Evolution energy would be poured into the baby Kangaskhan in the mother's pouch. This allowed the baby to grow for a short time and fight alongside the mother.
In other words, it was a legal and fair two-against-one fight!
This Ability was just too interesting.
And the potential was undoubtedly huge!
Rosa had a sharp eye and quick reactions. She immediately thought of many battle tactics for Mega Kangaskhan.
"A very rational choice. Also, as long as you train Kangaskhan well, it will not be any worse than Mega Salamence or Mega Metagross," Damian nodded with a smile.
"Hehe~" Having received Damian's praise, Rosa's eyes narrowed with joy. Her mood was wonderful.
"By the way, Damian, Hilda hasn't decided on her Mega user either. Can you recommend one for her too?" Rosa quickly snapped out of it and asked on behalf of her good friend.
"Of course I can. Hilda, what is your team like?"
"Emboar, Excadrill, Zoroark, Ferrothorn, Haxorus, and Braviary."
Hilda blinked and listed her main team.
Just like Rosa, it was also a multi-type team. That made sense. For talent monsters like them, not training a multi-type team would be a waste.
"Almost all of them are physical attackers."
"Yes. So, I want to train a Mega special attacker."
Hilda replied with a very obedient nod. Also, she wanted a special attacker with strong combat power.
"Gengar and Gardevoir. These two fit your team very well. If you don't mind repeating types, Mega Charizard Y is also an option."
Damian thought for a moment before giving his suggestion.
Hilda looked thoughtful.
"Mega Charizard Y's Ability is Drought. It can actually benefit your Emboar. Also, Mega Charizard Y's Special Attack is extremely high. It is very suitable as a main special attacker."
The popularity of Mega Charizard Y was actually far lower than Mega Charizard X, which was Fire and Dragon type. But in reality, Mega Charizard Y's battle strength was not inferior to Mega Charizard X at all.
Especially since Mega Charizard Y had the very strong Drought Ability.
Even though Mega Charizard Y had a four-times weakness to Rock, that did not change how strong it was.
"Mega Gengar's Ability is Shadow Tag. I also strongly recommend it."
Damian raised a Gengar himself, so his understanding of Gengar was naturally very thorough.
Furthermore, in Damian's view, Mega Gengar's strength was even higher than Mega Charizard Y.
Because for a Pokémon like Mega Gengar, its Shadow Tag Ability was extremely strong.
Under Shadow Tag, most opponents cannot switch out the Pokémon trapped by the shadow. They can only leave the field with moves like Baton Pass or U-turn.
Besides Shadow Tag, Mega Gengar can also use many annoying status moves like Perish Song, Curse, Destiny Bond, Toxic, and Pain Split. The variety of tactics is extraordinary.
The most important point was that Mega Gengar was also very good in battle!
It was a high-speed special attacker with extremely powerful Special Attack. Among many Mega Pokémon, Mega Gengar was one of the exceptionally outstanding ones.
It could be said that the main reason Mega Gengar could be Damian's starter Pokémon was that it was just too well-rounded.
It could fight, support, weaken, and curse. Even if it lost the battle, it still had a chance for a final one-for-one trade.
While it was true that its body was a bit frail, if even its body were tough, what would be left for other Pokémon to do? Gengar would just be doing everything by itself.
"Then there is Mega Gardevoir. Its Ability is Pixilate, and it is also a powerful special attacker."
Damian thought for a moment and said this.
To be honest, compared to Mega Charizard Y and Mega Gengar, Mega Gardevoir... its strength and usefulness to a team were indeed a bit lower than the first two.
However, they each had their own pros and cons. Besides, their types were different, so they could not be compared purely against each other.
Furthermore, Mega Gardevoir still scored very high in appearance.
"Okay. I will think about it carefully. Thank you for the advice, Damian."
Hilda thanked him very politely. She probably understood the pros and cons of the three Pokémon now.
Just a moment ago, she said Rosa was the one feeling conflicted, but now it was her turn.
The rarity of these three Pokémon was certainly not as high as pseudo-legendary Pokémon, but precisely because of that, Hilda felt even more conflicted.
"You're welcome. It was just a few words. Do you have any other questions?"
Damian's hand was still gently stroking Cynthia's waist. It was also starting to move upward.
"I don't have any more," Hilda shook her head. She had to make her own choice first.
"I don't have any either! Damian, Damian, sleeping alone at night, are you feeling lonely and lo... Mmph! Mmm-mmm!"
Before Rosa could finish her sentence, she made a series of frustrated sounds. It seemed someone had covered her mouth.
Without even thinking about it, it was definitely Hilda.
She was truly afraid that Rosa would blurt out something way too suggestive. If she kept talking, Rosa might really run off to Damian's room. Would Hilda have to become an aunt next year?
That would be way too ridiculous!
"Then we will hang up now, Damian. Goodnight." Hilda began saying goodbye.
"Goodnight."
Damian gave a light laugh and hung up the phone. Rosa and Hilda were truly too interesting.
"What do you think, Cynthia?"
"I think, Damian, your hand should not be in this position."
Cynthia pressed down on the hand inside her clothes, which had already reached the edge of her top. She let out a sigh and spoke.
"Oh, sorry. My hand might have a mind of its own."
Even though he said sorry, Damian had absolutely no intention of pulling his hand back.
It wasn't until Cynthia stared at him in silence for ten seconds, and kept pressing down on Damian's hand, that he finally pulled it back.
"Damian, do you often act like a hooligan toward girls?"
Cynthia felt that Damian was truly a bit too practiced. He was practiced far beyond a normal level.
"Look at what you're saying. I am not that kind of casual person."
"I am not casual like that either, Damian," Cynthia's tone was very complicated.
She hadn't even had a proper romantic relationship yet. Although she hadn't thought about finding a boyfriend before now, after all, she felt her current duty was to protect the Sinnoh region well.
"Well, it's mainly because I really like you, Cynthia. You know that."
"We had an agreement. You shouldn't treat me like this."
Cynthia was becoming more and more worried about her safety now. Damian was not even pretending anymore.
"But being responsible for the master's physical and mental health is also a maid's duty."
Damian grinned instead. He completely ignored the main point and turned it around on her.
"You can't even satisfy your master. Cynthia, do you think you are doing the right thing?"
"Or is it that the matter in Snowpoint City is already over, so you just want to do the bare minimum?"
That kind of guilt-tripping hit hard for someone with morals and a conscience like Cynthia.
Hearing this, Cynthia lowered her head and looked into Damian's eyes. She could clearly see her own face reflected in them.
Damian's eyes were very clear and full of life.
Cynthia could hardly believe that this young boy, who already led Team Rocket at such a young age, actually had eyes like that.
But at the same time, Cynthia also saw the desire for her in them. It was very strong.
"I don't have that intention. I am very grateful that you stopped Regigigas and saved Snowpoint City."
"Just expressing gratitude verbally really does not satisfy me."
"Then what do you want?"
"Here. This spot."
Damian tapped his own lips. His smile was very bold.
Cynthia instantly felt her mind go blank for a moment. This was... he wanted a kiss?
How could it be like this? Isn't that something you only do with a boyfriend?
"A goodnight kiss. That isn't too much, is it?"
How is that not too much?
While Cynthia was shocked by Damian's thick skin, her heart also did not know what to do at this moment.
Caitlin, what should I do? Damian insisted!
