However, Blue and Silver were different.
They were unwilling to accept this outcome, even hating the Masked Man, and they didn't properly learn anything the Masked Man taught them.
It cannot be said that Blue and the other person were wrong, because the fact was indeed as Blue said: because of the Masked Man's kidnapping, Blue lost her family and relatives.
It was only natural for her to hate the Masked Man.
It can only be said that everyone's choices and thoughts are different.
"His purpose in raising us was to cultivate his tools, Ryuga, I look down on you!"
Blue, however, scoffed at Ryuga's statement.
Why should she accept a kidnapper's teachings?
"You clearly have such talent, you are clearly stronger than all of us combined, but you never thought of escaping this life, Ryuga, I look down on you!"
Blue's usually clear and agile eyes were extremely stubborn at this moment, staring intently at Ryuga, the young man she usually feared immensely, speaking word by word.
Anyway⊠she had no chance of escaping now.
This girl is going all out today!
And this was indeed her true feeling.
She didn't know how strong Ryuga was, but what she did know was that Ryuga alone could defeat everyone they had trained by the Masked Man!
He could even easily crush them!
But Ryuga was so willing to follow the Masked Man, Blue simply couldn't understand.
As Blue's words fell, the air seemed to quieten a bit.
Brock, Ash, and the others all tensed their nerves slightly, looking nervously at the white-haired young man in front of them.
After all, Blue was openly mocking this person!
"What an arrogant girl." Marnie frowned slightly, glaring unhappily at Blue.
This woman actually dared to speak to Ryuga like that!
She really wanted to teach her a lesson!
Ryuga narrowed his eyes slightly, watching Blue.
Blue, however, met Ryuga's gaze without fear, with an aura of 'I've gone all out, do what you want with me'.
"What a low-level taunt, Blue. Is this all you've learned in the past year?"
After a long while, Ryuga chuckled softly and shook his head, sounding quite regretful.
Obviously, these words were actually Blue's attempt to provoke him.
HoweverâŠ
Ryuga slowly curled his lips into a malicious grin.
It seemed he hadn't properly educated this girl in a long time, and now she dared to speak to him like this.
...
"It seems you haven't grown at all this past year."
Ryuga spoke regretfully.
He had thought Blue might bring him some special, unconventional 'resistance'.
Is that all?
Blue gritted her teeth.
As expected, taunting was still useless against Ryuga, but she couldn't think of any other method.
Fight?
She probably didn't know what it felt like to be pressed to the ground and rubbed.
"The casual chat is pretty much over, Blue, come with me."
Ryuga said casually when he saw Blue didn't speak again.
In reality, he wasn't very concerned about Blue's matter.
After all, regarding Pryce, he already had his own ideas.
Take Blue back and hand her over to the Masked Man?
And then let the Masked Man start the Celebi plan?
This was not a good omen for Ryuga personally.
Blue tightly pursed her lips, various thoughts flashing through her mind, butâŠ
It was useless!
Usually clever and intelligent, she only felt her mind was filled with mush, unable to come up with a single useful idea.
"What?! Blue, don't listen to him. Why should you leave with him?"
Blue had given up resisting in her heart, but apparently, those behind her disagreed.
Ash spoke out in great dissatisfaction, glaring fiercely at Ryuga.
He didn't understand what kind of relationship Blue had with Ryuga, it sounded very complicated anyway, but from Blue's few words, he also knew that where she used to be was very dangerous.
"Ryuga, forcing a woman like this is not the act of a gentleman."
Caitlin's exquisite and beautiful face showed a hint of solemnity, although she knew it was impossible to be Ryuga's opponent.
But watching a newly met friend fall into the tiger's den like this, she really couldn't bring herself to do it.
Reason told her to remain silent at this moment, but emotion would not allow it.
Red didn't speak, he just tightly clutched his Poké Ball, ready to battle at any moment.
"Oh? Are you trying to fight me for her?"
Ryuga raised an eyebrow, looking with interest at Red and the others, who were all tensed up.
"Miss Caitlin, I have always considered you a very rational and calm young lady."
"If everything is treated purely with rationality, then that person is just a machine without emotions."
Caitlin's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she parted her red lips to speak softly.
She grew up under the constraints of a prominent family in Sinnoh.
Besides Cynthia, her only friend, her social circle was always rigid.
But this time, the S.S. Anne was different.
Although dangerous, it brought her feelings she had never experienced before.
And it was precisely because of this that she met Red, Ash, Blue, and others.
Their purity and enthusiasm made even Caitlin, a noble of a prominent family, unable to help but accept them.
Although, except for Red, these people seemed weak in Caitlin's eyes, it is a sad thing for human interaction to blindly pursue equality in material strength.
"Ryuga, I know we are no match for you, but given your existence, to still coerce an ant in your eyes like this truly dishonors your status."
Caitlin's words were very pleasant to hear, and they fully conveyed respect for Ryuga.
Having personally witnessed everything at the Ancient Temple, Caitlin knew that Ryuga, who could even defeat the legend Dialga, was far more terrifying than people imagined.
Even in the entire world, Caitlin truly doubted whether anyone could be Ryuga's opponent.
But many things cannot be given up just because the opponent is strong.
"However, in your eyes, Team Rocket's identity can hardly be called noble, can it?"
Ryuga chuckled.
Indeed, she was worthy of being Caitlin.
This was the art of language.
Although she was essentially saying that a powerful being like Ryuga threatening and coercing a 'weak woman' was too shameless, it sounded very pleasant coming from Caitlin's mouth.
"You don't need to be so agitated. I won't harm Blue. After all, she is one of my few childhood friends, and this might not even be a bad thing for her."
Ryuga glanced at Blue, whose expression was quite moved, and explained with a faint smile.
Originally, with his personality, he would basically not elaborate too much on his actions in front of outsiders.
But today, he was in a very good mood!
Well, when he was in a good mood, Ryuga didn't mind putting their minds at ease.
Upon hearing this, Caitlin and the others fell silent.
Should they believe him?
Of course, they were still very worried.
"Alright, I'll go back with you. Don't hurt them." Blue took a deep breath and finally spoke.
She was afraid that if she didn't express her stance, Ryuga would lose patience.
"A wise choice." Ryuga's lips curled slightly.
"Blue!"
Upon hearing this, Ash and the others opened their mouths, seemingly wanting to say something.
"It's meaningless.... maybe we'll meet again someday."
Blue's lips curved into a bitter arc.
If it wasn't necessary, of course, she would want to try to resist.
But the shadow Ryuga had cast since childhood was too deep, and the disparity in strength was too vast.
Futile struggles would only implicate Ash, Red, and the others, which was not what Blue wanted to see.
"Don't make it seem like I'm some villain who forcibly abducts innocent women. I've always been very democratic."
Ryuga raised an eyebrow at this.
This sense of déjà vu, no matter how he looked at it, seemed like the final farewell of a girl bullied by a tyrant, right?
It's not that bad, really not that bad.
"You are a villain, aren't you?" Marnie, who had witnessed everything, rolled her eyes cutely and retorted.
Only she dared to speak so unreservedly directly in front of Ryuga.
Ryuga shrugged and didn't retort, leading Marnie and the closely following Blue away from the pier.
"Damn it! Are we just going to watch?"
Ash gritted his teeth, looking at the backs of the three.
How frustrating, damn it!
If Red and Misty hadn't held him back, he would never have just watched Blue be taken away like that.
"That damn Team Rocket!"
So angry!
He was practically about to explode with rage!
Ash felt a ball of fire burning in his chest, making him uncomfortable and furious all over.
"If it's him, there's no need to deceive us, but it seemsâŠ"
Caitlin was silent for a moment, her clear beautiful eyes flickering with a faint glow.
Although very helpless, they could indeed only watch Blue be taken away without any means of stopping it.
Engage Ryuga in battle?
Not to mention whether they could win, this was Vermilion City!
If Ryuga were truly angered, what would happen to Vermilion City?
This was also why even Red endured.
Because they considered too many serious consequences.
And the most regrettable thing was that they had no chance of winning at all.
"Besides Team Rocket, there are other identities."
Caitlin kept thinking.
The conversation between Ryuga and Blue contained a lot of information!
Kidnapped from a young age and trained by someone, even Ryuga was like that!
Ryuga's teacher!
And from Ryuga's tone, it could be heard that Ryuga approved of this teacher!
A teacher who could earn the approval of a Trainer like Ryuga, who even captured Eternatus!
But obviously, Blue was unwilling to compromise and escaped, which meant that besides Team Rocket, there was an even more mysterious organization hidden in the Kanto region!
And apparently, this was Ryuga's true identity, so Team Rocket was just a disguise?
Thinking of this, Caitlin's beautiful eyes instantly lit up.
It must be like this.
In fact, Caitlin had always had a feeling.
After these two incidents with Ryuga, although Ryuga was undoubtedly an evil person, his behavior⊠was just pure recklessness.
The Ancient Temple was like this, and the S.S. Anne incident was also like this.
This perfectly aligned with Ryuga's conversation with her that night.
The reason he joined Team Rocket was purely to wear Team Rocket's uniform, so he could openly and brazenly do whatever he found interesting, and these things included what people considered evil deeds!
"Team Rocket, the Elite Four, and that mysterious organizationâŠ"
Caitlin and Red exchanged glances, both seeing the speculation in each other's eyes.
Caitlin took out the expensive lip balm she carried with her.
She felt her lips were a bit dry.
The waters of the Kanto region were truly deep!
Far more mysterious and dangerous than her hometown, the Sinnoh region.
The forces entrenched here were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.
Compared to Team Rocket, even with this S.S. Anne incident, a terrifying attack sufficient to shock the world, what was Team Galactic's petty squabble in Sinnoh?
And Caitlin also had a feeling that her thrilling journey in Kanto had just begun!
This S.S. Anne incident was already far more thrilling than her previous decade-plus of life, but this was just her 'opening act' upon arriving in Kanto.
"Cynthia⊠I won't lose to you!"
But precisely because of this, Caitlin's heart was now beating with an unprecedented fervorâŠ
The reason she left Sinnoh was to gain experience and grow!
On Caitlin's exquisitely beautiful face, a beautiful and elegant faint smile curved at the corners of her lips.
Yes, she would definitely become truly stronger in Kanto!
Meanwhile, Ryuga and the two others returned to the hotel.
"You really don't hide anything, Ryuga. Aren't you afraid they'll leak the news of your presence in Vermilion City?"
Seeing Ryuga walk into the hotel as if no one else was around, Blue couldn't help but speak to Ryuga in the elevator.
Perhaps because she had been bold once, her attitude towards Ryuga now was completely that of a dead pig not fearing boiling water.
What kind of person is this?
You are a dangerous member of Team Rocket, yet you're swaggering in and out of Vermilion City, and without any disguise whatsoever.
Why are you so arrogant?
"They wouldn't dare."
Ryuga answered very casually.
Strength was the guarantee of everything!
Not to mention that the Pokémon League had not yet issued his arrest warrant.
Even if it were issued, Ryuga wouldn't care at all.
And as long as Red and the others weren't idiots, they wouldn't leak the news of his appearance in Vermilion City at all.
Even if they were to report it, they would only do so secretly, and then the police would prepare for his arrest.
Because Ryuga himself was essentially a human nuclear weapon.
The local police in Vermilion City trying to catch Ryuga?
That was really overthinking it.
