★★★
Ryuga's usually handsome and fair face now seemed to carry a layer of darkness, his amber pupils flickering with a sinister glow.
This was an extremely dense malevolence!
Caitlin's normally steady heart rate instantly quickened.
Her tightly pursed lips felt a sudden dryness, and her beautiful pupils slightly contracted.
Nervous!
Yes, looking at Ryuga at this moment, Caitlin suddenly felt a tension she had never experienced before.
Her instincts were frantically telling her to stay away from this person.
Extremely dangerous!
The air suddenly became silent.
Caitlin subconsciously wanted to move her feet back, but she found that she couldn't move!
Her legs, due to excessive tension, had become numb and weak at some point.
"Go back and get a good night's sleep, then leave Michina Town tomorrow. A young lady like you, as long as you cultivate well, with your aptitude and conditions, becoming an Elite Four is not difficult at all."
"You will have a good future. Don't delve too deeply into many things."
After a long while, until Caitlin's breathing became rapid and heavy, Ryuga slowly straightened up, patted Gardevoir's shoulder, and said indifferently.
After all, she was still just a young lady who hadn't experienced much.
Ryuga shook his head.
Perhaps due to her living environment and family background, Caitlin's temperament was more mature than her peers.
But in Ryuga's eyes, she was still a bit naive.
Recalling Galarian Moltres and Gardevoir, Ryuga walked past Caitlin, preparing to return to the hotel to rest.
"So, are you planning to do something to Miss Sheena, Ryuga?"
Just then, Caitlin's pleasant voice suddenly entered Ryuga's ears.
"Oh?"
Ryuga paused, turned his head, and narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Caitlin.
"I see, you heard them."
After a moment of thought, Ryuga understood. It was perfectly normal for Caitlin, who possessed Psychic abilities, to have enhanced hearing with the help of her Psychic.
"Everyone has things they can do and things they cannot do. Knowing this is very important."
"This is what my sister told me, because I used to be very competitive, and precisely because of that competitiveness, I couldn't control my Psychic well."
"But I always believe that if you give up on what you pursue just because of such a principle, then that person is too pitiful, don't you agree, Ryuga?"
Caitlin turned around, her beautiful face slightly pale, but the elegant faint smile remained on her lips, and her eyes held a startling stubbornness.
She was unwilling.
Everyone was like this!
Everyone!
She had extremely outstanding talent, which everyone could see, but she had never won against Cynthia from childhood to adulthood! Not once!
She didn't dislike Cynthia.
She just wanted to win.
But her family members would always comfort her with meaningless words, and even Cynthia was the same.
Perhaps in the future, she would let go of this desire to win and calm her mind, but not yet.
"Since you heard my conversation with Sheena, you should have some guesses."
Ryuga became a little interested, looking at Caitlin with amusement.
...
"I think this should be clear enough."
Ryuga took out a badge engraved with the letter 'R' and said to Caitlin.
"Yes, I can indeed roughly guess."
Hearing Ryuga's words, Caitlin looked at the badge and fell silent for a while, the smile on her lips slowly disappearing.
The chilling malice that emanated from Ryuga just now was not feigned.
Such a person was very likely a member of an evil organization!
And indeed, Team Rocket's organizational symbol is a capital 'R'!
Team Galactic existed in the Sinnoh region, and Caitlin, as Cynthia's sister, naturally knew this, so she had also paid some attention to other regions' evil organizations.
But Caitlin, who lived a secluded life, never expected to encounter a member of an evil organization in such a way.
"So, are you planning to do something to Miss Sheena, Ryuga of Team Rocket?"
Taking a deep breath and adjusting her turbulent emotions, Caitlin looked up at Ryuga and asked the question again.
She didn't know what kind of mindset she was facing Ryuga with at this moment, after all, the person in front of her was very likely a ruthless individual.
Although he seemed unlikely to harm her, who knew?
But for Caitlin to just leave like this, she was unwilling.
"No, no, please don't lump me in with those spineless, bottom-feeding wastes who only resort to violence. There's never just one way to achieve a goal."
Ryuga's lips curled into a wide grin, and he raised a finger, wiggling it at Caitlin.
Caitlin's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She couldn't imagine what Ryuga would do.
Given Sheena's Pay attention to of the Jewel of Life, she would never hand it over to Ryuga, right?
"Can you please answer my question?"
After another period of silence, Caitlin asked.
"I'm in a good mood today, and I'm not sleepy right now."
Ryuga glanced at the crescent moon in the night sky and shrugged indifferently.
He was indeed not sleepy at the moment.
"Why would a Trainer like you join an evil organization?"
Caitlin's voice was a little low, because she couldn't understand why Ryuga, who was so young, had already become a Champion Trainer.
Such a person, with a little effort, could achieve great things and become an idol for everyone.
But why would he choose to join Team Rocket?
Team Rocket indeed had a strong presence in the Kanto region, but at the end of the day, the ruler of this world was the Pokémon League!
The Pokémon League was the righteous path, and Team Rocket, who opposed the Pokémon League, were merely dirty rats in a sewer.
They didn't even have the right to walk openly in the sunlight!
"With your strength, becoming a Kanto Elite Four would be easy, and you might even have a chance to challenge Champion Lance."
Caitlin looked at Ryuga's restored handsome face.
Roughly speaking, Ryuga was at most two years past adulthood.
Reaching Champion level at this age, such terrifying talent was even more formidable than Cynthia's, and he was also a Psychic.
Caitlin believed that with Ryuga's talent, even if he couldn't do it now, he would definitely have the hope of defeating the strongest Champion, Lance, in the future.
With such a perfectly bright future, yet he chose to go astray and join an evil organization that everyone denounced. Caitlin truly couldn't understand.
"It's this question again. You guys really don't have anything new, do you? The evil organization, Team Rocket, is that what Miss Caitlin thinks?"
Hearing this, Ryuga curled his lips into a mocking arc.
He had heard this question too many times.
Just a few days ago, Raihan and Oleana had just questioned him, and now Caitlin asked again.
Not to mention the many more people Ryuga had met before.
"Isn't that so?" Caitlin's brows furrowed even tighter.
Team Rocket is an evil organization.
Everyone knows that, right?
"Of course, from the perspective of you self-proclaimed righteous people, it is indeed so."
"But for me, I don't care about that."
"Team Rocket can give me a more realistic life. I can do whatever I want. I can take off my hypocritical mask. I can strive for anything I like with my own strength."
Ryuga's smile deepened.
Yes, this was the truth he liked most!
He could do whatever he wanted because he had power!
He didn't have to worry about the shackles of moral judgment because he was a member of an evil organization!
No matter what outrageous, heinous, and insane things he did, no one would be surprised.
He was a villain.
Was he supposed to help the old and the young instead of doing evil deeds?
"But this is wrong. You are so powerful. You can use that power to do more meaningful things."
"If everyone were like this, then this world would have no order."
Caitlin was startled by the reply, then instinctively retorted to Ryuga.
Only then did she realize that Ryuga was not an ambitious villain in the traditional sense.
He was merely pursuing a life of unrestrained freedom.
But realizing this, a chill ran down Caitlin's spine, because in a sense, such a person was truly terrifying!
It was precisely because he possessed great power and acted without restraint, purely according to his own will, that he was even more frightening!
"What does that have to do with me?" Ryuga sneered.
"Moreover, Miss Caitlin seems to think that the Pokémon League is righteous, right?"
"What are you trying to say? No matter what the Pokémon League is like, it's stronger than Team Rocket."
Caitlin did not answer directly.
As the daughter of a prestigious family, Caitlin was certainly not that naive.
"Is that really so?" Ryuga's amber eyes flickered slightly, a light of sarcasm.
"It seems Miss Caitlin is preparing to leave Sinnoh for training and experience, right? Then I would suggest Miss Caitlin go to Kanto."
"Coincidentally, the Kanto Elite Four have not been fully assembled, and with Miss Caitlin's talent, that shouldn't be difficult."
"At that time, you can also take a good look at what Kanto, the headquarters of the Pokémon League, is like~"
The Kanto Elite Four, led by Lance, are completely different from any other Elite Four in other regions!
Caitlin, when you understand this point, I wonder what you will think.
...
Is there something wrong with the Kanto League?
"I don't quite understand what you mean."
Caitlin pursed her lips and said.
She was indeed puzzled why Ryuga would say that.
As is well known, the headquarters of the behemoth that is the Pokémon League is located in Kanto, and similarly, the Kanto Elite Four, led by Lance, are also the strongest.
Even though the Kanto Elite Four are not fully assembled now, Lance, besides being the Kanto Champion, is also the fourth Elite.
But even if one Elite is missing, the Kanto Elite Four are still the strongest!
Lorelei, Bruno, Agatha, Lance—almost every one of these four people is a monster.
"You don't need to understand now. Go and see for yourself. Kanto will soon become exciting."
Ryuga smiled, turned around, and left directly.
Everything that needed to be said had been said.
Outsiders would not understand that the Kanto Elite Four, now revered and proud of by the people of Kanto, have actually begun to slowly deteriorate.
Especially Lance and Lorelei, who are the most extreme!
Lance and Lorelei are true Pokémon lovers.
Yes, their care for Pokémon is unparalleled.
It is precisely because of this that they extremely dislike Team Rocket, as Team Rocket conducts various Pokémon genetic experiments behind the scenes.
Witnessing more and more insane genetic experiments, and despite constantly trying, they could never eradicate such evil, Lance and Lorelei's minds would gradually become twisted and prejudiced.
No matter what kind of love, if it is excessive, it will only turn into a distorted, pathological obsession.
Coupled with the corruption of certain council members of the Pokémon League, and the greedy merchants in the private sector who are consumed by desire and wantonly destroy the Pokémon's homes and environment.
Being in a high position, one sees more and more clearly.
The darkness of human hearts has always been ubiquitous.
"It's only a matter of time. They will fall into the abyss sooner or later."
Ryuga held a mocking smile.
When the Elite Four, who were clearly guardians and the peak fighting force that the people were proud of, became the most terrifying enemies.
I wonder what expressions those old fossils in the Kanto League will have?
Team Rocket is the Kanto League's biggest enemy?
That's a big mistake.
The Kanto Pokémon League hasn't even realized who their biggest threat is, and they're still targeting Team Rocket.
It's simply incurable stupidity.
"Kanto…"
Watching Ryuga's figure disappear into the dark forest, Caitlin's clear eyes flickered continuously, and her beautiful face showed a hint of confusion.
Her original destination was the Unova region.
But now… perhaps she should go to Kanto to see?
