Red also tightly pursed his lips, frowning as he looked at Lorelei.
His physique, due to years of training, could barely withstand this cold.
But he had already seen the passengers shivering.
Red was about to say something to Lorelei when an unparalleled Blizzard swept over again.
"Blizzard!" Lorelei ordered again.
Lapras and Dewgong simultaneously opened their mouths again, and a fierce, bone-chilling Blizzard surged out, its scale and power even more terrifying than before!
Snowflakes even began to fall inside the hall, and the vast Blizzard swept towards Ryuga.
"..." Red silently clenched his fists, a hint of anger appearing in his red eyes.
"Stone Edge."
Ryuga commanded Rhyperior, but just then.
"Espeon, Psychic!" A low voice suddenly rang out.
And as this voice fell, a massive colorful aura suddenly expanded, hitting the Blizzard.
Boom!
A violent explosion accompanied by airwaves spread out, and strong, cold winds made people's bodies feel chilled.
"Hm?"
Lorelei's eyebrows furrowed slightly, because this was not an attack launched by Ryuga.
Lorelei pushed up her glasses, her eyes beneath them flashing with cold light as she looked in the direction from which the voice had come.
A black-haired, red-eyed young man was staring intently at her.
Yes, it was Red who had just launched the attack to stop the Blizzard!
"Interesting, so interesting. Don't you think so, Archer?"
Ryuga grinned, a smile on his face as he slowly spoke to Archer beside him.
Red was actually going to fight Lorelei.
"Yes, Ryuga, the dog-eat-dog drama is indeed very interesting."
Archer's gloomy face also showed a hint of sarcasm.
Lorelei's self-centered attacks, ignoring the surroundings, had indeed caused a backlash.
However, Archer didn't dislike this situation.
The Kanto Elite Four were hostile to Team Rockets, and why shouldn't Team Rockets regard the Kanto Elite Four as thorns in their side?
"So there's another Team Rocket bug."
Lorelei sized up Red, her cold eyes filled with gloom.
It was this person who was hindering her.
"So, the one stopping you is Team Rockets, is that right?"
Red was so angry he laughed.
When Lorelei first appeared, he had thought of teaming up with her to stop Ryuga, hoping to allow Ash and the others to leave.
But now he had completely abandoned that idea.
"Not Team Rocketsā¦" Lorelei frowned slightly at the words. Indeed, the young man's demeanor was pure and clean.
Although he was currently in a state of anger, those pure eyes couldn't be faked.
Thenā¦
It was because of her reckless fighting style that he was stopping her.
Lorelei understood instantly.
She was already an extremely intelligent person.
"Please look closely at them, Elite Four Lorelei! They are the people you should be protecting, but what are you doing now?"
Red pointed to the passengers huddling in the corner, shivering from the cold, his voice filled with unconcealed anger.
He rarely got angry, because he was inherently a mature and emotionally reserved person.
But Lorelei's actions truly touched his bottom line.
Even if the opponent was Team Rockets at this moment, he couldn't ignore it.
The Kanto Elite Four are the four people standing at the pinnacle of the Kanto region, the highest military deterrent of the Kanto League, and the guardians of the Kanto people!
But what is Lorelei doing now?
She not only failed to Protect these passengers but was indirectly harming them.
Lorelei's Blizzard just now was already on a large scale, and Lorelei was gradually increasing the range and intensity of the attack!
"Are you telling me what to do?"
The eyes under Lorelei's glasses shimmered with a cold light, and the temperature in her gaze towards Red's eyes rapidly dropped.
Not to mention she didn't feel she had done anything wrong, even if she had, it wasn't for some unknown brat to tell her how to do things.
"Do you know what your actions just now mean? Obstructing the Elite Four's work, attacking the Elite Four, are you trying to go against the League?"
Lorelei's cold voice, devoid of any emotion, rang out.
She usually didn't like to use the League's prestige.
But she could see the purity in the boy's eyes, which made Lorelei feel a sense of compassion.
She detested Team Rockets and those greedy, bottomless people, but she also loved PokƩmon and didn't dislike those with pure personalities and passionate hearts.
So she wanted to use the League's name to make the boy retreat in the face of difficulty.
"I have no intention of going against the League. In my eyes, the PokƩmon League has always been beautiful, because it is the existence of the League that has brought peace and stability to the world today."
Red said in a deep voice.
He never thought he was great, just like when Ryuga asked him 'Do you want to be a savior?'
His answer was no, he wasn't that great, he was just an ordinary person with outstanding talent.
The savior should be the PokƩmon League, not him.
But he couldn't sit idly by and watch what was happening before his eyes.
He had his own values and will, just as he couldn't watch these passengers being harmed by Team Rockets.
Similarly, he couldn't watch Lorelei harm these passengers!
This had nothing to do with the League or Team Rockets.
This was just Red's own will.
"But that's just my thought. I don't know what the PokƩmon League is truly like, but Elite Four Lorelei, your attack has already harmed them. This shouldn't be how an Elite Four acts."
Red looked at Lorelei without any fear, wanting to express only one thing.
I won't let you continue to attack so unrestrainedly.
You want to deal with Team Rockets, no problem, but please don't involve those passengers!
Otherwise, even if you are an Elite Four, I won't be polite!
"Alright, alright, alright, young people nowadays are truly ignorant and fearless."
Lorelei's ample chest rose and fell slightly, and a cold arc formed at the corner of her mouth as she said in a chilly voice.
An unknown Trainer actually dared to speak to her like this?
Feeling the strong smell of gunpowder between Red and Lorelei, Brock, Misty, and the others all looked worried.
Although they were very touched that Red could confront Lorelei for them.
But...
That was Ice Elite Lorelei! The Kanto Elite Four!
"I can understand your youth, but youth doesn't mean it's an excuse for your ignorance. What do you know?"
Lorelei's face was gloomy and cold, exuding bone-chilling coldness.
If Team Rockets could be eliminated, what would the sacrifice of a few people matter?
If she kept being timid, when would she be able to clean up the trash that is Team Rockets?
This was a truth Lorelei had only understood after many years: some things must be dealt with by iron-fisted means!
"Yes, I really don't understand Elite Four Lorelei's thoughts, but what I do know is that no matter if it's Team Rockets or the League, harming innocent people is evil!"
Red threw out another PokƩ Ball, and a Pikachu appeared beside Espeon, saying in a deep voice.
Harming innocent people is evil!
Lorelei's eyes became completely cold.
She, as a Kanto Elite Four, was evil?
Archer: "..."
This young man is so incredibly brave, directly confronting this crazy woman, but it feels like Team Rockets is being ignored right now?
Archer glanced at Ryuga and saw that Ryuga had even lit a cigarette and was watching the tense confrontation between Red and Lorelei with great interest.
He even lit a cigarette?
Are you really just watching the show here?
...
"Red, you really didn't disappoint me."
Ryuga took a puff of his cigarette, a satisfied smile on his face, as he watched Lorelei and Red confronting each other.
Yes, he had a premonition of this kind of scene, especially with Lorelei completely disregarding the passengers while attacking with Blizzard.
Red was never a person of the League.
He simply couldn't tolerate the evil that appeared before his eyes.
And Lorelei's actions undoubtedly touched Red's bottom line.
It was completely normal for Red to step in and stop Lorelei.
Because no matter what the other party's stance or background was, Red would actually not care at all.
Team Rockets, who robbed PokƩmon and harmed innocent people, were evil in Red's eyes, but Lorelei, who ignored the lives of passengers to attack Team Rockets, was also someone Red felt he had to stop.
"Archer."
"Yes, Ryuga."
"You can take your people and retreat. This operation has been exposed."
Ryuga spoke to Archer without hesitation.
There was no need to continue the standoff with those Trainers.
Lorelei's appearance was already an unexpected factor.
If Lorelei was here, it meant other League personnel must already be on their way.
As for how Lorelei found the S.S. Anne...
Ryuga's eyes flickered slightly, thinking of what Dr. Fuji had said before.
It was indeed very possible that Dr. Fuji had notified Lorelei in advance and had a tracker installed on him, allowing Lorelei to pinpoint the location.
However, in that case, only one Elite Four, Lorelei, came?
Ryuga raised an eyebrow, it was really not certain.
"Yes, but... Ryuga?"
Archer's eyes, upon hearing this, showed a hint of unwillingness through their gloom.
From the moment Lorelei appeared, the S.S. Anne incident was destined not to be perfect.
But he also knew that retreating was the best option now.
Regardless, Team Rockets' losses were not significant, and they even managed to snatch many Trainers' PokƩmon.
However, if they continued to standoff, once a large number of League police personnel arrived, it would be difficult to retreat completely.
But the problem now was...
Archer looked at the main entrance, his expression gloomy.
The entrance was blocked by Lorelei!
"Am I here to be your nanny?"
Ryuga glanced at Archer.
This high-ranking Team Rockets executive, the evil boss in the eyes of Ash and the others, chuckled awkwardly and lowered his head.
He was so wronged!
He originally just wanted to bully ordinary people, but who knew a Caitlin would appear to disrupt things, and now even Lorelei was here.
Archer was also bitter inside.
"So you're absolutely determined to get in the way, are you?"
Lorelei pushed up her glasses, her gaze coldly fixed on Red.
Not only obstructing her, but also calling her evil?
Sure enough, she was too benevolent.
She shouldn't have wasted more words with this guy.
"I just don't want those people to be innocently implicated."
Red showed no fear of Lorelei's icy gaze and said in a deep voice.
Before today, he actually always had a good impression of the PokƩmon League, and also of the strongest Kanto Elite Four, who made the Kanto people proud.
But seeing Lorelei in person today, Red truly couldn't believe that a woman so indifferent to the lives of ordinary people was actually an Elite Four guarding Kanto?
But even if he didn't believe it, he had to, because the facts were already laid out before him.
"If you, in order to eliminate Team Rockets, implicate ordinary people and yet remain unrepentant and unmoved, then Elite Four Lorelei, what is the difference between you and Team Rockets?"
Red's voice remained deep.
He was not being unreasonable, nor did he not understand that in certain specific situations, one must have the resolve to sacrifice the small self for the greater good.
But was it like that now?
No, it wasn't. It could clearly be avoided.
Lorelei could clearly avoid affecting Ash and the others, but Lorelei ignored them!
Then, what was the difference between such a Lorelei and Team Rockets' actions?
One was pure evil, and the other just had the good name of eliminating Team Rockets.
"Red..."
Hearing Red's words, Brock and the others were all incredibly moved.
Perhaps at first, they were excited by Lorelei's appearance, but Lorelei's actions undoubtedly made their hearts sink to rock bottom again.
Lorelei eliminated Team Rockets on the S.S. Anne, but accidentally sacrificed some civilians.
Perhaps ordinary people seeing such news would probably not blame Lorelei at all, only sigh with regret?
"Brother Red!" Ash's eyes were even teary.
This was his idol!
As for Lorelei?
Ash originally had no concept of the so-called Elite Four in his heart.
He now just felt that this woman, who was like an ice block, was actually very hateful.
"I'm no different from Team Rockets?"
Lorelei's face instantly turned extremely ugly upon hearing this.
Yes, extremely ugly!
She had always harbored immense hatred for Team Rockets.
She constantly thought about eliminating this evil organization.
But now someone was saying she was no different from Team Rockets?
She was the same as those trash who harmed PokƩmon?
It was simply a joke!
"Little guy, you've successfully angered me."
Lorelei's originally beautiful face was now covered in darkness.
Under her thick purple bangs, her eyes, hidden by her glasses, held a deep and dense gloom.
At this moment, Lorelei gave off the feeling of a bottomless icy abyss, making people feel trepidation and fear.
In other words, she was triggered!
"Blizzard!"
Without further ado, Lorelei gave a cold command.
She wanted to freeze this nonsense-spouting thing into an eternal ice sculpture!
Lapras and Dewgong unleashed an overwhelming torrent of ice and snow without hesitation, heading towards Red's direction.
"Espeon, Psychic!"
Red's expression was solemn.
Having been constantly observing Lorelei, he reacted immediately.
Espeon's eyes glowed with a dense blue light, and colorful light waves rippled out.
"Thunderbolt!"
Red's Pikachu leaped high, electric arcs constantly flickering in its cheek pouches, and golden electricity shot out rapidly.
Psychic and Thunderbolt heavily met the incoming Blizzard, and terrifying energies clashed wildly.
Powerful air currents constantly swept in all directions, and the wind blowing in their faces made their eyes sting.
"Red is actually this strong..."
Seeing Red directly withstand the Blizzard, and even subtly gaining the upper hand, Brock and the others were all somewhat shocked.
This was different from when Espeon dispersed the Blizzard midway.
This time it was a real head-on confrontation.
Although they knew Red was definitely not weak, they hadn't expected him to have reached this stage, after all, as Red's younger brother, Ash's performance was truly... indescribable.
At this moment, the energy finally failed to maintain balance and completely exploded.
Boom!
The loud noise made people's eardrums ache.
Lorelei's face became even uglier.
This guy's strength was indeed very strong.
Could he even be stronger than her?
No, how could such a naive and stupid fool be stronger than herself!
Lorelei was unwilling to admit this!
