He never thought he'd receive a 'good person' card one day.
Misty and Brock looked at Ryuga strangely.
Who would directly say they weren't a good person?
But compared to that…
"Ryuga…are you from the Johto Dragon-type Family?"
Brock stroked his chin, carefully examining Ryuga with his narrowed eyes.
The name Dragon was well-known in Kanto.
(A/N: Dragon Lance, Dragon Elder..etc. It's a unique surname..)
"That's right, I was born in Blackthorn City, but I haven't been back in many years."
Ryuga nodded, then sighed with emotion.
It had indeed been many years.
Since he returned once five years ago, he had never been back to the Dragon-type Family.
"The name Dragon does sound a bit strange, doesn't it? Is it because you, Ryuga, really like using Dragon-type Pokémon?"
Ash, however, had no idea what the name Dragon represented, but it was easy enough to understand from the literal meaning.
"Are you really a Kanto Trainer?"
Hearing Ash's words, even Marnie was stunned.
If he was a Trainer, logically, there was no reason he wouldn't know the name Dragon, right?
Especially for a local Kanto Trainer, because that was the person standing at the pinnacle of the Kanto region.
"You idiot! I told you to pay more attention! Our current Kanto Elite Four Champion is Dragon Lance, and he's from the Dragon-type Family!"
Misty couldn't help but cover her face and grit her teeth at Ash.
Marnie's strange gaze really made her blush.
After all, Ash was her companion.
Seeing her companion act so ignorant in front of others made her feel like her face was burning.
"What?… I don't look at those things."
Facing Misty's almost man-eating gaze, Ash shrank his neck.
Misty was so terrifying right now.
"Ash, even as a new Trainer, you still need to understand a lot of knowledge and essential information."
"Those are necessities on the path to becoming stronger."
Ryuga smiled, looking at the two bickering companions.
It was indeed very interesting, but it should become even more interesting once the event started.
Ryuga's lips curved into a slight grin.
He wondered what expression Ash would have when he appeared as a member of Team Rocket?
"Listen up! You want to become the strongest Trainer acting like that?"
Hearing this, Misty lectured Ash.
Although she didn't know Ryuga's strength, his demeanor and speech, coupled with bearing the name Dragon…
She didn't even need to think.
This handsome man was definitely a very strong Trainer.
"Tch~ Don't underestimate me, okay? I've already gotten three badges."
Ash retorted indignantly.
Misty always discouraged him like this, even though he had already successfully challenged three Gyms.
Brock shook his head helplessly at Ash's words.
Ash's three badges…
"Ash, we'll be leaving first. We have something to attend to later."
Ryuga glanced at the clock on the wall nearby.
The time was approaching.
After speaking, Ryuga nodded and smiled at Brock and Misty, then turned and left with Marnie.
"Truly worthy of coming from a prominent family. He's handsome and polite, unlike a certain someone."
Watching Ryuga's retreating figure, Misty couldn't help but praise him, and at the end, she gave Ash another glare.
"Indeed, you can tell he's someone who received a high-level education from a young age."
Brock agreed.
A person's demeanor and cultivation couldn't be faked, and although their interaction was brief, he could feel the good upbringing of a prominent family from Ryuga.
"Misty, I have no problem with you praising Ryuga, but including me is…"
Ash was very displeased.
He also thought Ryuga was a very good person, but he resented Misty's veiled insults.
However, before Ash could finish his sentence…
"Ash?"
"Brother Red!"
Ash heard the familiar voice from behind him and instantly turned his head.
What greeted his eyes was Red.
Red was looking at him with surprise.
"Brother Red, long time no see!"
Ash gave Red a big hug, laughing loudly.
The two brothers' bond was truly very strong.
"Oh, right, this is Misty and Brock. They're traveling with me now."
Then, as if remembering something, Ash introduced his two companions to Red.
"I'm Red, Ash's older brother. Thank you both for taking care of Ash."
Red thanked Misty and Brock.
He knew what his younger brother was like.
Ash had always been carefree and clumsy since he was little.
The fact that these two were traveling with him showed that they were definitely good people, and at least had good tempers.
Moreover, he actually knew Brock because he had challenged Brock's Gym.
"I can't believe you're really Ash's older brother, Red."
Brock looked at Red in surprise, then gave Ash a strange look.
No wonder he felt a strange sense of familiarity when he first met Ash.
Aside from their appearance, these two were really nothing alike…
When Red came to challenge the Gym back then, he was truly decisive and didn't waste any time, simply crushing him…
"Yes, I'm one year older than Ash, actually…" Red smiled, just about to continue saying something, when he suddenly heard screams from afar.
The entire hall had become chaotic at some point, with various panicked Growls sounding incessantly.
"Team Rocket!"
Although Brock's eyes were small, his eyesight was excellent.
He instantly spotted Team Rocket members in black uniforms at the edges.
Moreover, Team Rocket members were continuously appearing at the entrance and exit of the hall.
"How are Team Rocket here?"
Misty also looked at these Team Rocket members in shock.
Most importantly, how were there so many of them?!
How did so many Team Rocket get on the ship?
"It has begun."
On the sofa, Rose's deep eyes shimmered as he watched Team Rocket surround the crowd.
Team Rocket's operation had begun!
Meanwhile, on the other side, an elegant young girl in a pink, form-fitting long dress slowly put down her red wine glass.
Her moist, beautiful eyes held a hint of complexity as she looked at the black uniformed crowd around her.
"Team Rocket…"
She hadn't expected to 'encounter' the organization that person belonged to so soon after arriving in Kanto.
Was she destined to be involved with Team Rocket?
...
Team Rocket!
The absolute overlords of the Kanto underground world, engaging in Pokémon theft, illegal trafficking, genetic experiments, and more…
They were, in short, an absolutely evil organization that committed all sorts of atrocities.
However, in reality, compared to the rumors, even in the Kanto region, most people had never actually seen Team Rocket.
And now, Team Rocket had appeared live before the people.
The socialites and young masters, who were originally elegant and gentle, now looked at the slowly approaching Team Rocket with terrified expressions.
The once peaceful and lively hall was now completely in chaos.
"Damn it! These Team Rocket guys!"
Ash watched as a black-clad Team Rocket member roughly drove some people away with a Raticate nearby.
His eyes instantly blazed with anger, and he prepared to have Pikachu teach that person a good lesson.
It's just Team Rocket, right?
Ash felt that this wasn't his first time dealing with Team Rocket, and he had already defeated the Team Rocket trio countless times.
What was there to be afraid of?
"Calm down, Ash. Don't act rashly yet."
Ash had a carefree personality, but Brock and Misty were much more mature.
Brock quickly held Ash's shoulder and said in a deep voice.
These black-clad Team Rocket were completely different from the three comical guys who constantly bothered them on a daily basis.
Brock's narrowed eyes continuously scanned these Team Rocket members.
Every one of them had a sinister aura and a cold, grim expression.
These people were truly from an evil organization!
"But…"
"Idiot, don't rush. There are too many of them! Wait for an opportunity first."
Misty interrupted Ash in a low voice.
The surroundings were almost entirely surrounded by Team Rocket, and Team Rocket, having taken the initiative, now held the upper hand.
Starting a fight rashly was no joke.
"That's right, stay calm, Ash."
Red also spoke to Ash in a low voice, his red eyes constantly scanning the Team Rocket members around them.
This was clearly a premeditated operation!
Otherwise, there was no reason for so many Team Rocket members to have boarded the ship silently, was there?
And this was just the main hall.
No one knew how many other Team Rocket members were in other parts of the cruise ship.
Ash could only suppress his restless heart upon hearing this.
Soon, Team Rocket members herded all the passengers in the hall together, completely surrounding them.
"Then, good afternoon everyone~ I assume everyone can hear my voice, right?"
The atmosphere was silent for a moment. then a calm, low voice spread through the hall via the broadcast.
Yes, it was Archer!
"Team Rocket. what exactly do you want to do? Do you know the consequences of kidnapping us?"
The middle-aged man in designer clothes standing at the front raised his head and spoke with shock and anger.
Panic and fury. these were the emotions that could be fully felt from him.
Although he wasn't from a prominent family, he was a well-known financier.
He truly couldn't stand being manipulated by Team Rocket like a defeated dog.
"Don't be angry. We still have plenty of time." Archer also heard the middle-aged man's voice through the surveillance and smiled faintly. not taking it to heart at all.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Archer. a Team Rocket Executive. I am honored to tell you all that you have been chosen by us."
Archer spoke slowly, his tone calm and superior.
As if he had everything under control.
Very skillfully.
Upon hearing Archer's words, most of the passengers showed anger on their faces.
Forcibly expelling them into a corner, this was an honor?
But they ultimately dared not speak their anger.
"Please don't be angry. we have no ill intentions. As long as you cooperate well, we guarantee to safely return you to land."
"Currently, the S.S. Anne has been controlled by our Team Rocket, and it has sailed into an unmanned sea area. The nearest continent will take at least half an hour to reach."
Archer continued to speak slowly with a calm voice.
He knew that some passengers must have secretly called for help by now.
But it didn't matter.
To ensure foolproofness, their sailing route was completely random.
Even with positioning, it would take a considerable amount of time to find the S.S. Anne in the vast ocean.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man and others showed despair on their faces.
In this way, wouldn't they become Team Rocket's prey?
"Then I believe everyone has understood. Next, please obediently hand over your held Pokémon, and then quietly wait for the cruise ship to dock."
Looking at the passengers' expressions through the surveillance, Archer's voice, with a faint smile, rang out again.
"What a joke? What if you hurt us without Pokémon?"
"Sure enough, it's just a trap…"
"If we hand over all our Pokémon, we will have no means of self-preservation."
Upon hearing this, all the passengers instantly became agitated.
Although they had thoughts of cooperating and compromising, what if they handed over their Pokémon to Team Rocket?
What if Team Rocket turned hostile after the Pokémon were handed over?
"Sir?"
In the crowd, the confidant frowned and looked at Rose upon hearing the commotion.
"Wait a little longer." Rose shook his head, his deep eyes still scanning the surroundings.
Hand over Pokémon?
Absolutely impossible.
But there was still no sign of any Team Rocket Executive.
He still needed to wait.
"Everyone, please calm down. Please consider carefully before making a decision."
As if he had anticipated this situation, Archer remained composed, but his previously indifferent tone now carried a hint of grimness.
"Perhaps you don't know, but it doesn't matter. Please take a look at this first."
As Archer finished speaking, a huge display screen descended from the ceiling, standing in mid-air.
The next moment, the display screen suddenly lit up.
"Hiss…"
Seeing the scene on the display screen, gasps of cold air rose and fell, and many people's backs were completely drenched in cold sweat.
"This… this… how dare they!"
Misty also widened her eyes, disbelief mixed with horror, and her voice even became sharp due to the overwhelming shock.
Even the usually calm and mature Brock had a dense layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
Because what was on the screen was none other than Voltorb and Electrode!
Voltorb and Electrode!
These are famous self-destructing maniacs among Pokémon.
Even a slight disturbance can lead to a huge explosion!
And on the display screen, it was full of sleeping Voltorb and Electrode, piled up in countless numbers!
And their location was none other than the S.S. Anne's warehouse.
"Lunatics!"
Red's expression also changed slightly, and his red eyes became serious.
Although he was strong, he had his limits, and if these Electrode and Voltorb were startled, it would definitely lead to a chain of Self-Destructs!
That scene… it was too terrifying!
Are all of Team Rocket lunatics?
