—------------------—
"Catlin, don't you have anything you want to tell me?"
Cynthia looked at Catlin with a complicated expression, but her voice was as calm and rational as ever.
"…"
Catlin was silent.
Seeing this scene, even if Kukui and the others were dumb, they would know that the relationship between Cynthia and Catlin was probably not simple, not to mention that they were not dumb to begin with.
"Sir, should we retreat first?" Cross walked to Mammon and whispered.
He felt that something was not good. Cynthia is the Champion of the Sinnoh region, and her strength was currently completely unknown.
But looking at the domineering power of Garchomp, you can tell that Cynthia is definitely stronger than Kukui.
And it seems that Cynthia and Catlin are old acquaintances? This is difficult to deal with.
What if Catlin was persuaded by Cynthia to betray Team Rocket? To be honest, Cross didn't want Catlin to betray the organization for both public and private reasons.
Catlin is usually polite, elegant and reserved to others. She keeps a proper distance but does not appear indifferent. She handles relationships very delicately.
But Cross really likes getting along with such colleagues. As a member of an evil organization, being too familiar with each other is not a good thing. A good colleague is one who keeps a sense of distance but is willing to cooperate with others.
Moreover, Catlin has great talent and potential, and is very capable. Even for the sake of the organization, keeping Catlin on the Rockets is the best choice.
"No hurry, let's wait and see."
Mammon waved his hand to reject Cross's proposal and looked at Catlin and Cynthia.
In addition to being there to watch the fun, he was also more concerned about Delia's current thoughts about her friend.
"Catlin."
Seeing that Catlin didn't speak, Cynthia called her again.
She knew that although Catlin looked noble and reserved, she was actually very proud and sensitive inside, so her tone was not strong.
"Cynthia, long time no see."
Catlin finally stopped being silent and spoke to Cynthia with a faint smile.
"I didn't expect to see you here."
"You should know why I'm here." Cynthia pursed her lips.
She has always been a very rational and calm person, even at this moment.
"Are you really joining Team Rocket?"
"Is this important?" Catlin asked calmly, "Or are you here to arrest me, Cynthia?"
Cynthia couldn't help but remain silent.
And Kukui and the others did not interrupt the conversation between the two. Or, they also knew that in this atmosphere, they should be under the car?
"As you can see, I am now a senior executive of the Rocket Team." Catlin gave a clear and definite answer.
"Why?"
Cynthia didn't understand. She couldn't understand it. It clearly shouldn't be like this.
"Team Rocket is an evil organization in the Kanto region, Catlin, why did you join such an organization?"
Cynthia's tone became much heavier.
"Catlin, come back with me to Sinnoh. If it's just because of some unpleasantness in the past, I will help you."
Cynthia really doesn't want to see her sister fall into darkness. In her opinion, Catlin's future shouldn't be like this.
"Help me?" Catlin's eyes rippled as she stared at Cynthia.
"You are so condescending, Cynthia."
"…"
Cynthia pursed her lips.
"Cynthia, you don't understand what I want at all. Why are you always so self-righteous and think you can do everything?"
Catlin slowly lowered her head, her golden hair falling down, and shadows covered her cheeks.
But it can be heard that the girl's speaking speed is much faster.
"Yes, you are so talented. You defeated everyone in Sinnoh. You are the champion of Sinnoh. You are so brilliant."
"…"
Seeing Catlin becoming increasingly agitated, Cynthia's pupils were trembling slightly.
"And what about me? the owner of the Battle castle? How ridiculous, but I am a pioneer leader who is not even qualified to fight. My innate ability makes me a 'monster'."
The gorgeous girl's voice was full of self-mockery at this moment, even though she was trying her best to control it.
But her eyes still lit up with blue light uncontrollably, and the superpowers in her body were boiling.
Mammon was about to use the power of Changpan to help her calm down, but soon Catlin suppressed the superpower that wanted to riot.
She can actually control her super powers.
Mammon raised a smile at the corner of his lips, she was worthy of being the one he chose.
"Catlin..."
But when Cynthia looked at the "strange" sisters in front of her, a bitter feeling gradually lingered in her heart.
So Catlin has always thought this way...
"You don't know how I feel, Cynthia. You are different from me. You have not experienced my life. You don't know what I have been through."
"I envy you. I have always envied you, Cynthia. You have such an excellent talent. You can travel freely in battles and enjoy everyone's admiration."
"I won't accept this. I want a better outcome! Why? Why can they easily control my life?!"
Catlin's eyes were slightly red, and her tone became more excited as she looked ahead at her only good friend.
Cynthia's expression became more complicated.
"Yes, but Catlin, that doesn't mean you have to join Team Rocket. No matter what, your uncle and aunt wouldn't want you to do that."
Cynthia sighed in her heart and tried to persuade Catlin. She didn't know what to say, but she didn't want Catlin to fall like this.
Yes, isn't it a fall to join a dark organization like Team Rocket?
"This is my own choice. It has nothing to do with them." Catlin took a deep breath, forced herself to control her emotions and said calmly.
This is cutting off ties, and she doesn't want her family to be implicated because of her own affairs.
"You don't understand me, Cynthia."
Catlin looked at Mammon, and Mammon finally understood her thoughts and supported her.
"I see. I have been looking forward to that moment. I sincerely hope that you can stand in front of me and fight with me with all your strength, Catlin."
Cynthia's eyes gradually became clear, she had made a decision.
Even though Cynthia was a rational person, her emotions were a little agitated, but she still managed to control herself.
"But it shouldn't be like this!" Cynthia whispered.
As if he understood his trainer's determination, the strong and ferocious Garchomp slowly stepped in front of Cynthia, staring at Catlin with heavy and majestic dragon eyes.
"Even if you will hate me for the rest of your life, I can't just watch you sink into darkness. I must take you back."
Cynthia's voice sounded a little low. She knew that by doing this, Catlin might hate her in the future.
but...
She really couldn't just sit there and watch. She wanted to bring Catlin back into the sunshine instead of letting her sink into the 'ditch' and ruin her future.
I must take you back!
