"Just provide some of the Legendary Beasts' genes."
Giovanni shook his head.
He didn't care about a legend of this level.
"I have a relatively important mission here that I need you to participate in."
Then, Giovanni's voice slowly deepened, and his profound eyes carried a hint of gloom.
"Oh? Are we going to clash with the League?"
Ryuga's smile widened, and his amber eyes flickered continuously, making him look unsettling.
A mission that required his participation, Ryuga naturally thought of the Kanto Elite Four.
"I wonder if I'll run into my dear cousin."
It was clear from Ryuga's face that there was a look of excitement.
"Unfortunately, it's not what you think, Ryuga. We're not suitable for a direct confrontation with the League right now."
Noticing Ryuga's mood, Giovanni chuckled, and his gloomy mood recovered.
Giovanni knew that Ryuga valued Lance.
And Giovanni wasn't surprised, after all, by seniority, Lance was Ryuga's cousin!
And the current Lance was the strongest Elite Four Champion at the pinnacle of the Kanto League, and he harbored an indescribable hatred for the evil organization Team Rocket.
But Ryuga was Team Rocket's strongest cadre!
These two clansmen, who shared some common blood, were complete opposites.
In fact, it wasn't just Ryuga who looked forward to a clash with Lance.
Giovanni also greatly anticipated their confrontation.
"Oh?"
Ryuga looked at Giovanni in surprise upon hearing this.
If it wasn't the Kanto Elite Four opponents, what other mission in Kanto would Team Rocket have that required his intervention?
"I can't explain the specifics over the phone. Wait until you return to Kanto. Try to come back within a week, okay?" Giovanni shook his head.
If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't want to trouble Ryuga to act, although Ryuga was nominally Team Rocket's strongest cadre.
But Giovanni understood that if he hadn't coincidentally helped Ryuga once, Ryuga wouldn't have joined Team Rocket to assist him.
So, when Ryuga was needed for a mission, Giovanni would personally discuss it with him.
He usually gave Ryuga the maximum amount of freedom.
"I understand."
Ryuga pondered for a moment, then nodded in response.
The fact that Giovanni personally made a video call indeed showed that Giovanni took this matter very seriously.
To be honest, Ryuga was quite curious.
…
"Sheena, how are you feeling?"
Kevin arrived at the Ancient Temple's basement and saw Sheena standing in front of a mural.
He walked over to Sheena and asked with concern.
And that mural depicted a giant meteorite, and beneath the meteorite, a divine celestial being fearlessly charging straight towards it!
Yes, it was the ancient mural of Arceus confronting the world-ending meteorite.
"I'm fine now, don't worry."
Sheena's complexion had recovered a lot by now.
She shook her head and replied.
"That's good. I was really worried just now."
Kevin breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Sheena's face had been too pale before, looking as if she were gravely ill.
Then Kevin hesitated for a moment but decided to ask anyway.
"Sheena, that guy just now…"
"Kevin, I can feel it. It's about to awaken."
But before Kevin could finish, Sheena's weary voice rang out.
Kevin's face instantly changed drastically, because he knew very well what Sheena meant by "it."
"This… are you mistaken?"
"No, there's no mistake. It's been like this for the past two days. Dialga also told me that the fluctuations from the Hall of Origin are becoming clearer and clearer."
Sheena bit her lip, her face filled with deep worry and a hint of confusion.
She also wished she was mistaken, because she was truly worried.
Why?
Why did it have to be in her generation?
Besides the Aura inherited from her ancestors, she had nothing.
She was truly powerless to bear, and unable to bear, this serious consequence.
Clearly…
Clearly, this was her ancestor's sin, so why did it end up falling upon her?
"Can the Jewel of Life truly quell Arceus's resentment?"
Sheena slowly walked to a temple pedestal and took off a sacred stone relic.
The relic slowly opened, revealing a radiant green orb emitting a mysterious light.
This was the Jewel of Life passed down through generations for thousands of years!
"Really… can it?"
Sheena gazed at this 'Jewel of Life,' and the confusion in her eyes deepened.
Betrayed and hurt by someone deeply trusted, with a thousand years of resentment and anger, could simply returning this 'Jewel of Life' to its rightful owner truly quell it?
Sheena didn't know, or rather, she was unwilling to think about that despairing outcome, because this was already her only hope.
…
Time flew by to night, by the clear lake.
"Fiery Wrath."
Galarian Moltres raised its head high and let out a sharp cry, and a black and red flame emblem lit up beneath Gardevoir.
Gardevoir swayed with a light and elegant posture, her skirt fluttering as she moved away from her original spot.
And it was at this moment that a fierce, flame-like energy surged skyward, vast and powerful, creating an extremely strong visual effect.
But that was all it was…
"Gardevoir~"
Gardevoir let out a soft cry, tilting her head slightly as she watched the surging 'pillar of fire.'
Hmm, it looked quite nice as fireworks.
"Your move is still too slow, and I've told you many times, Moltres, you need to predict the opponent's movement trajectory to attack. Are you a pig?"
"How many times has Gardevoir dodged your attacks with that evasion angle? And…"
Ryuga frowned slightly, criticizing the descending Galarian Moltres without hesitation.
That's right, he was currently giving Galarian Moltres special training.
And facing Ryuga's 'rant,' Galarian Moltres's bird face was full of grievance.
What the hell about attacks being dodged?
That Gardevoir's movements were like a ghost.
This bird could only see a shadow when it moved.
How was it supposed to hit, you damn
human!
"Next, we'll train your endurance, Gardevoir."
After a long while, seeing Galarian Moltres nod like a pecking chick to indicate understanding, Ryuga smiled with satisfaction, stepped back a few paces, and called out to Gardevoir.
Training endurance?
Wait a minute!
Galarian Moltres's body instantly stiffened, and its bird eyes looked at Gardevoir in horror.
The so-called endurance training was to make it directly clash moves with Gardevoir!
But its strength was completely not on the same level as Gardevoir's.
Every time after training, well, it felt like its entire body was floating, completely numb.
"Sana~"
Gardevoir let out a soft hum, bringing her slender arms together, and beautiful colorful energy condensed.
This was the Fairy-type Dazzling Gleam!
The next moment, the dazzling colorful energy instantly struck!
"Chirp!!!"
Galarian Moltres's mournful cry echoed far and wide.
...
Half an hour later.
"Chirp…"
Lying limp on the ground, Galarian Moltres was barely breathing, letting out a weak chirp, its eyes teary as it looked at the night sky.
At this moment, feeling its entire body floating, it seemed to vaguely see Arceus…
What kind of karma did this bird accumulate? Why did it get possessed a few days ago and actually agree to be captured?
If this training continues, this bird will die sooner or later, right? It will definitely die, right?
This human is simply a devil.
Half an hour!
It was bombarded with Fairy-type moves by that ugly Fairy-type creature in the white dress for a full half an hour!
This bird really… has nothing left…
"Not bad. As expected of the legendary Moltres. In just a few days, you've improved so much."
Ryuga took out a top-grade Potion spray from his bag and praised Galarian Moltres with satisfaction.
Indeed, the talent of a legend was truly excellent, or perhaps this Galarian Moltres of his was exceptionally outstanding.
One had to know that on the night it was just caught, during special training with Gardevoir, it could only last for twenty minutes.
And in just a few days, Galarian Moltres had managed to last for half an hour.
Although Galarian Moltres was just beginning special training, its improvement speed was definitely fast, but this was already quite outrageous.
"Chirp~"
Upon hearing this, Galarian Moltres, which had just been silently shedding tears, instantly raised its head and let out a very proud soft cry.
Its half-dead appearance from just now had completely vanished.
"Don't get carried away. That's enough for today's special training. After you spray the Potion, get some good rest."
Noticing the change in Galarian Moltres's expression, Ryuga said with a laugh.
This bird's personality was indeed very interesting.
After spraying the Potion on Moltres's wounds, Ryuga stretched his body and looked behind a tree.
"You've been watching for so long, aren't you coming out, Miss Caitlin?"
Upon hearing Ryuga's words, Galarian Moltres, which was comfortably lying on the ground after being sprayed with Potion, instantly switched its lazy bird eyes to 'sharp gaze,' and its two wings flapped as it stood up.
The dignity of a divine bird!
It must never be lost!
How could ordinary humans see this bird in such a sorry state?
Ryuga looked in astonishment at the now elegant and noble Galarian Moltres, which was lowering its head to preen its feathers with its beak.
Was this what they called a medical miracle in legends?
It clearly couldn't even move a wing just now, could it?
As expected of a legendary divine bird, its potential is too strong.
It seems I can increase the training intensity.
...
Rustle, rustle ~
The lawn crunched, and Caitlin, dressed in a loose white dress, slowly emerged from behind the tree.
Her snow-white pleated skirt was incredibly ethereal.
Under the moonlight, Caitlin, with her golden hair, was as noble, elegant, and flawless as a Pokémon.
Such stunning beauty and temperament were truly astonishing.
Even Ryuga couldn't help but marvel.
There are countless beauties in the world, each with their unique temperament, but it must be admitted.
Caitlin, as a true descendant of a prestigious family, possessed an innate nobility and elegance that seemed carved into her bones, making it incredibly moving and visually striking.
"Ryuga, how did you discover me?"
Caitlin walked in front of Ryuga, glanced at Galarian Moltres and Gardevoir, then curiously asked Ryuga.
She had clearly used Psychic to intentionally blur her figure.
"Miss Caitlin is a Psychic. For Gardevoir, Psychic is simply too sensitive."
Ryuga's lips curled slightly as he pointed at Gardevoir.
He hadn't actually noticed Caitlin, but not long after the special training began, Gardevoir had informed him via telepathy that someone was approaching and hiding nearby.
"I see."
Caitlin glanced at the elegant and serene Gardevoir, a hint of envy flashing in her beautiful eyes.
As a Psychic, the Pokémon type that suited her best was indeed Psychic.
Not to mention a Psychic Pokémon like Gardevoir, which has an outstanding appearance and strong abilities.
However, unfortunately, Ralts is also a very rare type of Pokémon.
And in Sinnoh, Ralts are even rarer, and using resources to search in Hoenn doesn't guarantee their aptitude.
"But as expected, Ryuga is a very strong Trainer."
After a brief silence, Caitlin gently brushed a strand of golden hair from her ear and spoke to Ryuga with a faint smile.
At such close proximity, the Psychic power hidden within Caitlin made her even feel a sense of trepidation.
Although she appeared serene and harmless on the surface, this was definitely an extremely formidable Caitlin!
And that black and red bird Pokémon, Caitlin didn't recognize, but she had observed for a long time, and she had heard Ryuga's name for this Pokémon.
Moltres?
Even a Shiny Kanto Moltres doesn't look like that.
It looks more like a variant.
But no matter what, this Moltres's strength was also very high.
At least Caitlin knew her own limits.
Her Pokémon definitely weren't a match for this Moltres.
"I also didn't expect that the rumored owner of the Sinnoh Battle Castle, Caitlin, was a violent young lady. Now that I've met her, I realize that rumors are indeed unreliable."
Ryuga chuckled, his eyes flickering slightly as he looked at Caitlin.
Caitlin, due to her inability to perfectly control her Psychic abilities, often experienced emotional instability, and her temperament was once very unruly.
But now, almost no trace of that hostility could be felt from Caitlin.
She was almost a perfectly elegant young lady from a prestigious family.
"I didn't expect Ryuga to have heard of me, but I was indeed like that in the past, and precisely because of that, I caused trouble for too many people."
"I am no longer the owner of the Battle Castle. People always need to grow, and I don't want to be forbidden from battling anymore."
Caitlin pursed her lips, and after a long moment, she smiled demurely and spoke calmly.
Because emotional fluctuations often affected her Psychic abilities, causing them to go out of control and harm those around her, Caitlin had been forbidden from battling for a long time.
It wasn't until recently, when Caitlin's ability to control her Psychic improved, that she was allowed to come out.
The past was, after all, in the past, and she didn't shy away from what had happened.
"What a noble realization, Miss Caitlin. You will surely become an excellent Trainer."
Ryuga raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, looking at the beautiful young girl with some surprise.
Logically, Caitlin wouldn't grow from an unruly young lady into an elegant sleeping beauty until after her training in Unova, but now it seems Caitlin's growth has come early.
"Thank you for your blessing~ But compared to that, I'm more curious about Ryuga's identity."
The smile on Caitlin's lips seemed to deepen a little.
She curtsied slightly, lifting her skirt, and bowed gracefully to Ryuga, her excellent upbringing on full display.
But in an instant, Caitlin's tone shifted, and she curiously looked up at Ryuga and asked.
"I'm just an ordinary Trainer."
Ryuga's lips curled slightly upon hearing this, and he replied with a faint smile, his eyes flickering.
"If even Champion Trainers with special abilities are ordinary, then this world is truly too terrifying."
Caitlin was stunned upon hearing this, then shook her head and chuckled.
Although she didn't know Ryuga's identity or background, was Ryuga an ordinary person?
Impossible.
Whether it was his conversation with Sheena, or the two Pokémon beside him, or the special power on him that Caitlin couldn't identify.
All of it made Caitlin realize that this white-haired young man in front of her was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Miss Caitlin, the world is not just about its bright and righteous side. I wonder if your elders in your family have ever mentioned this to you."
Ryuga's lips curled into a deep, malicious grin.
He took a light step and slowly walked in front of Caitlin, bending down and leaning in, almost pressing his face against Caitlin's.
"Excessive curiosity is very dangerous."
