"Why do you ask that? Miss Caitlin, I cannot make decisions for you."
Mamon looked directly into Caitlin's eyes.
"What you should ask is your heart. Are you truly satisfied with failing again and again?"
Mamon pointed toward Caitlin's heart. His clear voice made Caitlin bite her lip tightly.
'I...'
She thought of her many battles against Cynthia. She thought of those many defeats. Her breathing became heavy without her realizing it. Her chest rose and fell rapidly. A blue light flickered in her eyes.
"Be elegant."
Mamon spoke again. Green light spots floated over. They cleared the mind of the agitated Caitlin. The blue light in her eyes slowly disappeared.
Be elegant!
When she regained her senses, Caitlin tilted her head blankly. She stared at Mamon.
What just happened?
Caitlin felt lost. Why did she suddenly 'come out' of her emotional instability?
'Is this the ability of Mr. Mamon?'
"If the result is not what you desired, it is not impossible to try again. Miss Caitlin, you should be able to hear the voice of your own heart."
"...Yes. I am actually... very unwilling to accept this."
Caitlin remained silent for a moment before facing her true feelings.
"Then you must work hard. Improve yourself. Challenge your friend again after you have become stronger."
"Mr. Mamon, how did you become so strong?"
Caitlin understood now. This youth was very powerful! He looked even younger than she was.
"Me?" Mamon laughed softly.
"Once you face the darkness and reality of the world, you will naturally grow stronger."
"The darkness and reality of the world?" Caitlin looked confused. She did not understand.
"Yes, Miss Caitlin. Allow me to ask you one thing."
The corners of Mamon's mouth curled up slowly. A thick sense of malice surfaced.
"Do you crave power?"
**Chapter 9: Cynthia, the weak me from the past is dead!**
Inside the training field, Caitlin stood alone. Her thin body looked solitary.
Only Metagross stood beside her. "Kuang!" (Are you alright?). It looked at its Trainer with a worried gaze.
Caitlin lowered her head. Her long blonde hair hung down. Shadows covered her face. It was impossible to see her expression.
'Do you crave power?'
The whisper of that youth seemed to echo in her ears again.
Caitlin bit her lip tightly. She clenched her fair right hand. It was as if she were holding something.
'Come and see the dark side of the world, Miss Caitlin. You will be able to achieve the fastest growth. You can say goodbye to that powerless, weak version of yourself.'
'If you have made your resolution, contact me. I will be waiting for you.'
The youth had placed a beautiful silver badge into the girl's hand. His blood-red pupils had reflected her delicate face.
'Together, we can make this world realize our perfection. We will make everyone tremble before us!'
"Team Rocket..."
Caitlin took a deep breath. She opened her palm. Her hand trembled slightly as she looked at the exquisite silver 'R' badge.
This was the insignia of the Team Rocket organization from the Kanto region! That youth was actually a member of Team Rocket!
Caitlin never imagined that someone like her would one day receive an invitation from Team Rocket.
But Team Rocket... was a dark organization.
*Beep. Beep. Beep.*
The sound of a phone ringing startled Caitlin.
She took out her phone. When she saw the caller ID, she bit her lip gently.
The call connected.
"Caitlin."
"Cynthia."
"Caitlin, I have communicated with the League. In half a month, as long as you can control your emotions, your ban can be lifted."
"Is that so..."
Caitlin lowered her head again. The shadow of her long hair covered half of her face.
The lifting of the ban meant she could travel and temper herself like any other normal Trainer. She should have been happy. This was what she had always hoped for.
But...
"This was supposed to be my right from the beginning."
The girl whispered. A free battle... that was supposed to be her right.
And she had to wait another half a month? Were they going to continue observing her for those two weeks? Were they observing her like a monster to see if she was a threat?
"Caitlin, what did you say? I did not hear you clearly."
Cynthia spoke with confusion. She seemed to have heard something, but she was not sure. It did not sound like something the old Caitlin would say.
"It is nothing. Thank you, Cynthia." Caitlin revealed her usual elegant smile.
"It is what I should do. Caitlin, when are you returning to Sinnoh?" Cynthia asked with concern. She cared deeply for her friend.
"I am not going back for now. I want to temper myself out here. Cynthia, I will become stronger."
Caitlin raised her head slightly. She looked at the distant sky.
She was no longer a bird clipped of its wings. She had already left Sinnoh!
"Yes, I am sure you can do it." Cynthia supported her friend. She did not doubt the talent of Caitlin.
However, the Caitlin of the past would not have said such things.
"Caitlin, you seem a bit different today."
Cynthia spoke after a moment of hesitation. In fact, she seemed very different.
"I have simply made a decision. He was right. I am not a monster. I am not wrong! It is just that they cannot understand. I am someone favored by the world. I am more perfect than they are!"
Caitlin smiled. It was a perfect, shallow smile. It was elegant and exquisite.
"Caitlin?" Cynthia was stunned. A bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart. Furthermore, who was the 'he' Caitlin mentioned?
"What are you saying?"
"Cynthia, you told me once. 'Chasing everything is the beginning of misfortune. While there are things we cannot do, there are also things we can do. It is important to know this.'"
Caitlin spoke slowly. She walked toward her villa with elegant steps. Metagross floated up and followed behind its Trainer.
The dusk stretched their shadows very long.
On the other end of the phone, Cynthia knit her brows tightly. She did not understand why Caitlin would undergo such a massive change after leaving Sinnoh for only one day.
"So, what is it that I can do?" The elegant voice of Caitlin continued to come through the phone.
"I have always envied you, Cynthia. I envied how perfect you are."
"Caitlin... please return to Sinnoh first, alright? No matter what is wrong, I will help you." Cynthia seemed to have sensed something.
"The me of the past was so weak and pitiful. I could not control my own power. I was banned from participating in battles. No matter how hard I worked, I could not catch up to you. I doubted myself."
Caitlin did not respond to Cynthia. She continued to talk to herself.
"But it should not be this way. I have already made my resolution."
Caitlin reached the front of her villa. Her figure was slowly covered by the shadows until she was completely engulfed.
"The weak me from the past is dead as of today."
"Cynthia, just watch. I will become strong!"
...
'Family, the League, power, prejudice, friends, pride... with so many factors, a little guidance is enough to change a person.'
Mamon leaned on the sofa. He smiled as he recalled the situation from earlier. His luck was quite good.
He hoped Caitlin would not disappoint him.
"Did the Young Lord encounter something happy?"
Domino, who was wearing a lady's suit, massaged Mamon's shoulders. She asked curiously.
"I do not know if it will succeed yet. How is the intelligence gathering going lately?"
Mamon pulled her into his arms, causing Domino to cry out in surprise. He asked her with a smile.
The matter regarding Caitlin was not yet certain. Although Mamon felt there should be no issues, he decided to wait.
"The base of Team Skull has been investigated thoroughly." Domino pressed against Mamon's palm and gave him a reproachful look.
"That is enough. What about Proton?"
Mamon was not surprised. As a high-level agent of Team Rocket, the intelligence capabilities of Domino were undeniably excellent.
"Um... according to the report from Lord Proton, things are not going very smoothly." The face of Domino turned slightly red. The hands of Mamon had begun to move again.
"The real estate developers here are not very willing to sell the land to us. This is true even though Lord Proton has increased the price."
"Are they being exclusionary? That is indeed a bit troublesome."
Mamon pondered for a moment. Ultimately, they were outsiders. Buying a small portion of property was fine.
However, if they wanted to buy a large amount of land, it was normal for the locals to resist.
"Then let us put this matter aside for now. Have Proton bring his men tomorrow. We will pay a visit to Team Skull."
Mamon was not in a hurry. There would always be a way. As for now...
Looking at Domino in his arms, the corners of Mamon's mouth hooked up.
"Come. Let me see."
**Chapter 10: The new high-level executive of Team Rocket!**
The next morning.
"Welcome to the team, Miss Caitlin."
Mamon looked at Caitlin standing before him with a smile.
He had originally wanted to do some morning exercises with Domino after waking up. He had not expected to receive a call from Caitlin.
This was truly a great surprise. Mamon placed a high value on Caitlin.
The potential of this genius [Psychic] girl was not limited to the Elite Four level. As long as she was trained well, she would certainly become a pillar of Team Rocket.
Although Team Rocket had many high-level executives, there were currently no other Champion-level members besides Giovanni and Mamon.
Therefore, a Trainer with the potential to become Champion-level like Caitlin was very precious.
"I hope for your guidance, Mr. Mamon."
Caitlin shook the hand of Mamon. Her clear, beautiful eyes gazed at him. she had tossed and turned for an entire night before finally making her decision.
She chose to believe this youth. Witnessing the dark side of the world would allow her to grow faster!
She had to become strong!
