This Trainer Is Obviously Overpowered, Yet He Slacks Off Shamelessly

“What’s the point of being a villain? Better to rake in League prize money.” That’s what Mo Chen, Team Rocket’s most laid-back member, says.

On the surface, he’s Team Rocket’s top enforcer. Behind the scenes, he secretly diverts Team Rocket funds to train Pokemon.

On the surface, he’s a big shot in Team Rocket. In secret, he signs up for the Johto League Conference.

He was ordered to infiltrate Team Rocket, but three years turned into another three. He became Giovanni’s most trusted executive, with a bank balance more impressive than his record.

“Giovanni, the mission’s complete... but the base blew up. Can I get reimbursed?”

The Four Generals berate him for being disloyal and report him as a traitor every day. Mo Chen calmly flings out the MVP award email Giovanni just sent him: “Last month, I cleaned house and took down another traitor’s hideout.

“······”

The socially anxious boy says nothing, as usual.

Outgoing girl: “Hey, old man, one-on-one!”

Mo Chen: “You two were sent by the other side to get my pay docked, weren’t you?!”

The Pokemon get up at four in the morning to train.

Mo Chen, turning over in bed to get comfortable: “Sorry, the word ‘lie flat’ isn’t in my kids’ dictionary.”

Watching Dragonite slaughter its way through the Silver Conference, Johto’s trainers finally understand: the true Demon King is that man who lies flat while driving the whole region into a frenzy!

At last, Mo Chen looks at his bank card and his two sidekicks: “If I switch sides now... then my year-end bonus will”
