In the training ground, I don't know when, Cattleya is the only one standing alone, her thin and frail body is all alone.
Only the Metagross stands beside her, looking at her trainer with doubt and worry.
Cattleya's head is slightly lowered, her long golden hair is scattered, and the shadow covers her face, making it impossible to see her expression.
'Do you desire power? '
The whisper of the boy seemed to ring in my ears again.
Cattleya pursed her lips tightly, and her delicate white right hand clenched, as if holding something in her hand.
'Come and see the dark side of the world, Miss Cattleya, you can grow up the fastest and say goodbye to the weak and powerless self. '
'If you make up your mind, contact me, I will always wait for you. '
The boy put the beautiful silver badge in the girl's hand, and his bright red pupils reflected the girl's delicate face.
'Together, we can make the world realize our perfection and make everyone tremble for us! '
"Team Rocket..."
Cattleya took a deep breath, opened her hand with some trembling, and looked at the exquisite and gorgeous silver 'R' letter badge in her palm.
This is the emblem of the Rocket Team organization in the Kanto region! That boy is actually a member of Team Rocket!
Cattleya never thought that someone like her would be invited by Team Rocket one day.
But Team Rocket... is a dark organization!
Beep, beep.
The phone rang suddenly, waking Cattleya up.
Cattleya took out the phone, looked at the caller on it, and couldn't help biting her thin lips lightly.
The call was connected.
"Cattleya."
"Zhulan."
"Cattleya, I have communicated with the league. In half a month, as long as you can control your emotions, the ban on you can be lifted."
"Really..."
Cattleya lowered her head again, and the shadow of her long hair covered half of her cheek.
The ban can be lifted, which means that she can go out to travel and hone herself like other normal trainers.
She should be happy, because this is what she has been looking forward to.
But...
"This is clearly my right."
The girl whispered. Fighting freely... This should be her right.
And it will take another half a month. Should I continue to observe myself in this half a month? Just like observing whether a monster is not threatening?
"Cattleya, what did you say? I can't hear clearly."
Zhulan said doubtfully. She seemed to hear something vaguely, but she was not sure. It was not like what the Cattleya in the past would say.
"It's okay. Thank you, Zhulan." Cattleya smiled as elegantly as always.
"This is what I should do. Cattleya, when will you return to Sinnoh?" Zhulan asked with concern. She cared about her sisters very much.
"Not going back for the time being. I want to hone myself outside. Zhulan, I will become stronger."
Cattleya raised her head slightly and looked at the sky in the distance.
She is no longer the bird that was clamped. She has left Sinnoh!
"Well, you can do it." Zhulan certainly supported her good friend, and she did not doubt Cattleya's talent.
But the Cattleya in the past should not have said such words.
"Cattleya, you seem a little different today."
After hesitating for a moment, Zhulan asked in confusion. It would be better to say that you are very different.
"I just made a decision. He is right. I am not a monster. I am not wrong! They just can't understand. I am loved by the world and I am more perfect than them!" Cattleya smiled slightly, a perfect, light smile, elegant and delicate.
"Cattleya?" Zhulan was stunned, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. And who was the "he" Cattleya was talking about?
"What are you talking about?"
"Zhulan, you told me, 'Chasing everything is the beginning of misfortune. There are things that cannot be done, and there are things that can be done. It is important to know this.'"
Cattleya spoke slowly and walked gracefully towards her villa. Metagross floated up and followed behind her trainer.
The dusk stretched the shadows of the two very long.
On the other end of the phone, Zhulan frowned. She didn't understand why Cattleya, who had just left Sinnoh for a day to relax, suddenly changed so much.
"Then what is something I can do?" Cattleya's elegant voice still came from the phone.
"I have always envied you, Zhulan, I envy you for being so perfect."
"Cattleya... Can you go back to Sinnoh first? No matter what happens, I will help you." Zhulan seemed to have noticed something.
"I was so weak and pitiful in the past. I couldn't control my own strength, was forbidden to participate in the battle, and couldn't catch up with you no matter how hard I tried. I questioned myself
." Cattleya didn't respond to Zhulan, but continued to talk to herself.
"But it shouldn't be like this. I have made up my mind."
Cattleya walked to her villa, and her figure was slowly covered by the shadow until it was completely shrouded.
"The weak me in the past is dead from today."
"Zhulan, just watch, I will become stronger!"
...
"Family, alliance, power, prejudice, friends, pride... so many factors, as long as they are guided a little, they are enough to change a person."
Mammon leaned on the sofa, recalled the situation just now, and couldn't help laughing. He was really lucky.
Cattleya, I hope you don't let me down.
"Master, did you encounter something happy?"
Domino, who was wearing a women's suit, pressed Mammon's shoulders and asked curiously.
"I don't know if it will work yet. How is the intelligence gathering recently?"
Amid Domino's exclamation, Mammon hugged her and asked with a smile.
Cattleya's matter is still unclear. Although Mammon thinks there should be no problem, let's wait.
"The base of the Skull Team has been investigated clearly." Domino held Mammon's palm and glared at Mammon.
"That's enough. What about Lance?"
Mammon was not surprised. As a senior agent of the Rocket Team, Domino's intelligence ability is undoubtedly excellent.
"Well... According to the report from Lord Lance, it's not very smooth." Domino's face flushed a little, and Mammon's hand began to move again.
"The real estate developers here are not very willing to sell the land to us, even if Lord Lanqi has raised the price."
"Xenophobia? That's indeed a bit troublesome."
Mammon pondered for a while. After all, he and others are outsiders, so it's no problem to buy some real estate.
But if you want to buy a lot of land, it's normal for the locals to resist.
"Then let's put this matter aside for now. Let Lance bring people tomorrow and we will go to the Skull Team."
Mammon is not in a hurry. There will always be a way. As for now...
Looking at Domino in his arms, Mammon's mouth curled up.
"Come, let me see."
