"Get away!"

Caitlin let out an angry scream. She swung her left arm, and a surge of psychic energy erupted once more, blasting the defenseless Metagross aside.

"She does not even recognize her own allies? No wonder the League banned her from competing."

Mamon watched the out-of-control Caitlin with great interest. As her psychic power poured out, her magnificent blonde hair drifted upward. The pressure she exerted was immense.

He finally understood why the League forbade Caitlin from participating in Pokémon battles. For a person with abilities that basically made her a human-shaped Pokémon, a single strike against an opposing Trainer would be more than most people could handle.

"Gengar, it is time to move."

"Jie jie jie~"

A low, eerie cackle echoed. Within the shadow beneath Caitlin's feet, two points of crimson light flickered to life.

"?"

Caitlin sensed something was wrong. She gathered her psychic energy and looked down at her shadow, only to meet those wicked, blood-colored eyes.

Her head suddenly felt heavy. The blue light of psychic energy in Caitlin's eyes slowly faded, and her pupils became misty and unfocused.

It was [Hypnosis]. Gengar had used the [Hypnosis] skill.

Caitlin slowly collapsed. Gengar immediately used psychic power to catch her body, guiding her to float toward a long bench at the edge of the training field.

"Mita?" (Is she okay?)

"Do not worry. I am just letting her sleep for a while. It will not have any lasting effects."

Mamon walked over to Caitlin's side. He looked at the 'Sleeping Beauty' and comforted the Metagross that had flown over with eyes full of concern.

Metagross let out a sigh of relief, but in the next moment, a surge of intense pain filled its body. The [Curse] was still taking effect!

Metagross let out a low cry of pain. This was the third time the [Curse] had triggered, and its condition was now very poor.

"I almost forgot about you. Let me find your Poké Ball."

As Mamon spoke, he reached toward Caitlin's waist without the slightest bit of hesitation.

"?" Metagross widened its eyes in shock.

"Do not misunderstand. I am just getting your Poké Ball for you."

Mamon felt around Caitlin's waist and found several Poké Balls. He held them up to show Metagross.

He confirmed one thing: Caitlin's waist was very soft.

"..." Metagross felt that something was definitely wrong.

"By the way, which ball is yours?"

"Mita." (That one.) Metagross raised its right claw and pointed at the ball on the far right.

"Alright, come back for now." Mamon opened the Poké Ball and withdrew Metagross.

The [Curse] status would be cleared as soon as the Pokémon returned to its ball. This was one of the many wonders of Poké Ball technology.

Just after being withdrawn, the Poké Ball opened on its own, and Metagross appeared once more.

"Do not glare at me like that. If I truly wanted to take advantage of your Trainer, do you think you could actually stop me?"

"I may like beautiful women, but I am not a rogue."

Mamon shrugged. He felt that this Metagross was being a bit too overprotective.

"Mita!" (You are clearly interested in her!)

"You are right about that. Your Trainer is so beautiful; I really do quite like her. It is only natural to have thoughts about her, right?" Mamon agreed with Metagross completely.

Caitlin was exquisite and elegant. While she did not have an exaggeratedly curvaceous figure, she was slender and graceful. Her noble and refined temperament was excellent.

"Mita??" (Wait, you understand me??)

Metagross was stunned.

"Is it that strange that I can understand what you are saying? Do not make such a big deal out of it." Mamon glanced at Metagross.

Metagross felt its mind go blank. Was that not supposed to be strange?

About ten minutes later.

"Ugh..."

Caitlin's eyebrows knitted together as she slowly opened her eyes. 'That is strange. What happened to me?'

Before her thoughts could fully settle, Caitlin turned her head. The first thing she saw was the large face of Metagross.

"Metagross? What happened just now?" Caitlin supported her head as she slowly sat up.

"You are finally awake. Does your body feel uncomfortable anywhere?" The male voice coming from the side caused Caitlin to stiffen.

She turned her head quickly and saw the youth she had been battling earlier. He was looking at her with a calm, composed expression.

Caitlin's memories instantly returned. Right, it seemed that she had suddenly lost control of her emotions and power again?!

Caitlin bit her lip, her expression darkening. She still could not control that power...

"I was quite startled just now. Such powerful psychic energy suddenly surged out. I did not expect such a beautiful lady to be a Psychic."

The teasing voice reached Caitlin's ears.

"Are you not afraid of me?" Caitlin suddenly looked up at Mamon.

"Why should I be afraid of you?" Mamon tilted his head in confusion.

"My psychic power..."

Caitlin's voice grew quieter. Although she did not think she should feel inferior because of her psychic abilities, there were times when she sighed from the bottom of her heart.

'Having no psychic power would be better than having power I cannot control.'

She was a young lady from a prestigious family. She was a favored child of heaven. Her family background, appearance, and talent were all superior.

Yet, it was precisely because of this powerful psychic ability that people feared her. They secretly called her a 'monster,' and the Pokémon League had even banned her from official competitions.

For a Trainer who loved Pokémon battles, what a massive blow and rejection that was.

"You are truly strange. Why would you worry about being feared for having special abilities?"

Mamon asked back with a smile. He raised his right hand toward Caitlin. Green specks of light ignited and drifted toward her.

In an instant, Caitlin felt her mind clear significantly. Even her body, which had felt a bit stiff from sleeping on the bench, became comfortable. It was a sensation that was difficult to describe.

"You are also an ability user?" Caitlin's eyes sparkled with a hint of joy. It was the joy of finding one of her own kind.

"Of course. Do you know? You should not doubt yourself because of this gift from the heavens. On the contrary, this is a gift from the world."

Mamon stared into Caitlin's eyes and spoke slowly with a smile.

"We are special! We are the lucky ones loved by the world! We can stand tall! We can tell ourselves—and tell others loudly—that we are the ones who are truly outstanding!"

"Only the incompetent and mediocre weaklings complain about unfairness and fear the strong. It is because we are strong that they are afraid of us."

The youth's clear voice was deafening to her ears. The Psychic girl's pupils were trembling slightly.

Yes, she was trembling, but not from fear. It was from excitement.

"But I... I cannot control it..."

However, the girl soon became worried again due to her past experiences.

"I have worked so hard. I have truly worked so hard! I do not want this either! I want to control this power more than anyone else, but they do not understand. They will not even let me participate in Pokémon battles."

At this moment, the glamorous aristocratic lady vented the grievances accumulated in her heart. Tears even began to well up in her eyes.

Who could understand? She truly, truly loved Pokémon battles.

Her dear friend, Cynthia, had become the Champion of the Sinnoh region. She had become the strongest person in Sinnoh, looking down upon the entire land.

Yet, she herself could not even participate in a normal Pokémon battle. For a proud person, how embarrassing and difficult was that to endure?

"Then simply work even harder."

Mamon replied with a smile.

"Believe in yourself. Believe that you are not inferior to anyone. Do not resist your power; accept it with your heart."

"Since they do not understand, then there is no need for them to understand. Please remember one sentence, beautiful lady."

Mamon's tone was very gentle.

"The strong do not complain about how the world is; they dictate how the world should be."

"You are beautiful, and you are also powerful. This is who you are. You do not need to care about the opinions of others."

"What you should do is undergo a transformation, and then slap their faces hard with your success!"

Hearing Mamon's words, Caitlin's heart shook violently. Her eyes were filled entirely with the silhouette of the youth before her.

'I am beautiful... and I am also powerful?'

"Also, there is one more thing..."

Mamon stepped forward and picked up the pink lady's hat from the bench. He walked in front of Caitlin and looked down slightly at the beautiful girl.

He could clearly sense a ripple in the girl's eyes as he approached.

Mamon placed the lady's hat on her head and straightened it. Caitlin's breathing seemed to stop at that moment.

This was the first time a boy had ever stood this close to her!

Caitlin could feel her heart beating very fast. Fortunately, it only lasted for a few seconds.

Taking two steps back, Mamon nodded with satisfaction. Caitlin really did look beautiful wearing that hat.

"Be elegant. No matter the time, you must always maintain your elegance. Elegant and refined—that is your true self."

Mamon spoke with a smile.

"That is only natural. I have always received perfect scores in my family's etiquette classes."

Caitlin took a deep breath that was barely visible. She clasped her hands naturally in front of her waist. Her tone was neither fast nor slow, appearing calm and noble.

Just as Mamon said, she was an elegant and noble young lady. She should maintain her elegance.

The way she looked just now... was truly pathetic.

"How rude of me. I have not yet introduced myself. I am Caitlin, from the Sinnoh region."

Caitlin reached out her hand toward Mamon, appearing poised and polite.

"Mamon. My name is Mamon."

Mamon shook Caitlin's hand.

"Speaking of which, I originally just wanted to help you with some special training. I did not expect things to turn out like this."

"Yes. I am truly grateful to you today, Mr. Mamon. You have taught me a lot."

Caitlin wore a faint, moving smile.

"Miss Caitlin is from Sinnoh. Why did you come to Alola? Are you here on a journey?"

Mamon asked Caitlin with some curiosity.

"No. It was just because of some unhappy matters, so I came here for a vacation to relax."

Caitlin shook her head, then hesitated for a moment.

"Mr. Mamon, may I ask you a question?"

"Of course."

"To tell you the truth, I have a very close friend. No matter how hard I try, I cannot defeat her. Should I continue to chase after her?"

Caitlin bit her lip and asked Mamon in a soft voice.

Mamon raised an eyebrow. He instantly knew who the friend Caitlin was referring to was—the Sinnoh Champion, Cynthia!

In reality, Caitlin only had one friend, Cynthia. Even Darach was merely someone she had employed.

'Chasing after everything is the beginning of misfortune. It is important to know that while there are things you cannot do, there are also things you can do.'

Those were the words Caitlin told the player in her villa during the games.

Caitlin had actually been chasing after Cynthia for a long time, but no matter how hard she worked, she could not defeat her.

This reality gradually made Caitlin realize the truth. She slowly came to accept this result, moving from explosive anger over her failures to a state of calm acceptance.
