Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 40 Bamboo Orchid and Cattleya

"Cattleya, is there nothing you want to say to me?"

Zhu Lan looked at Jia Deliya with a slightly complicated expression, but her voice remained as calm and rational as ever.

"..."

Cattleya remained silent.

Seeing this scene, even if Kukui and the others were stupid, they would know that the relationship between Cynthia and this Cattleya was probably not simple, not to mention that they were not stupid to begin with.

"My lord, should we retreat first?" Lance walked to Mammon's side and whispered.

He felt something was amiss; Cynthia was the Elite Four Champion of the Sinnoh region, and her strength was currently completely unknown.

Judging from the imposing presence of that Garchomp, it's clear that Cynthia's strength is definitely greater than Kukui's.

Moreover, it seems that Orchid and Cattleya are old acquaintances? This makes things difficult.

What if Cattleya is persuaded by Cynthia to defect from Team Rocket?
Frankly speaking, Lance didn't want Cattleya to betray the organization, both professionally and personally.

Caldelia is usually polite, elegant and reserved, maintaining a proper distance without appearing cold, and she handles relationships quite delicately.

But Lance actually quite enjoys being with colleagues like that. As a member of an evil organization, being too familiar with someone isn't a good thing. A good colleague is one who maintains a certain distance but is easy to work with.

Moreover, Gadriya has excellent talent and potential, and her abilities are also very strong. Even for the sake of the organization, keeping Gadriya in the Rockets is the best choice.

"No hurry, let's wait and see."

Mammon waved his hand, rejecting Lance's suggestion, and looked at Cattleya and Zhulan.

Aside from wanting to watch the spectacle, he was genuinely curious about Cattleya's current thoughts on her friend.

"Cattleya."

Seeing that Gadriya did not speak, Zhulan called out to her again.

She knew that although Cattleya appeared noble and reserved, she was actually quite proud and sensitive, so her tone was not forceful.

"Zhu Lan, it's been a long time."

Finally, Cattleya broke her silence and spoke to Zhulan with a faint smile.

"I never expected to see you here."

"You should know why I'm here." Zhu Lan pursed her lips.

She has always been a very rational and calm person, even now.

"Have you really joined Team Rocket?"

"Does that matter?" Gadriya asked calmly. "Or rather, are you here to capture me, Orchid?"

Zhu Lan fell silent.

Kukui and the others didn't interrupt the conversation between the two, or rather, they knew very well that in this atmosphere, they should stay under the car.
“As you can see, I am now a senior executive of the Rockets,” Gadriya gave a clear and unambiguous answer.

"why?"

Zhu Lan didn't understand; she couldn't understand it. It shouldn't be like this.

"Team Rocket is an evil organization in the Kanto region. Cattleya, why did you join such an organization?"

Zhu Lan's tone became much heavier.

"Cattleya, come back to Sinnoh with me. If it's just because of some unpleasant things from the past, I'll help you."

Zhu Lan truly didn't want to see her sister sink into darkness; in her view, Cattleya's future shouldn't be like this.

"Help me?" Gadriya's eyes rippled as she gazed at Zhu Lan.

"Such an arrogant attitude, Zhu Lan."

"..."

Zhu Lan pursed her lips.

"Zhu Lan, you have no idea what I really want. Why are you always so self-righteous, thinking you can do everything?" Cattleya slowly lowered her head, her golden hair falling down, casting shadows on her face.

But you could tell that the girl was speaking much faster.

"Yes, you are so talented. You defeated everyone in Sinnoh. You are the champion of Sinnoh. You are so radiant."

"..."

As Cattleya's emotions grew increasingly agitated, Zhu Lan's pupils trembled slightly.

"And me? Fighting the master of the castle? How ridiculous! But I am a pioneer leader who doesn't even have the qualifications to fight. My innate ability has made me a 'monster'."

The gorgeous young woman's voice was full of self-mockery, even though she was trying her best to control it.

But her eyes still glowed with an uncontrollable blue light, and her superpowers were boiling.

Mammon was about to use the power of the Everlasting Rock to help her calm down, but Cattleya quickly suppressed the superpower that was about to erupt.

She can actually control her superpowers now.

Mammon smiled, thinking, "He truly is the person I chose."

“Cattleya…”

But as Zhu Lan looked at her 'unfamiliar' sisters, a bitter feeling gradually welled up in her heart.

So that's what Cattleya always thought...

“You don’t know how I feel, Zhulan. You are different from me. You have never experienced my life. You don’t know what I have been through.”

"I envy you. I've always envied you, Zhulan. You have such outstanding talent. You can fight and travel freely. You can enjoy what everyone longs for."

"I'm not reconciled! I want a better outcome! Why? Why can they so easily control my life?!"

Cattleya's eyes reddened slightly, and her voice became even more agitated as she looked at her only friend in front of her.

Zhu Lan's expression became even more complicated.

"Yes, but Gadria, that doesn't mean you have to join Team Rocket. In any case, your aunt and uncle wouldn't want you to do that."

Zhu Lan sighed inwardly and tried to persuade Jia Deliya. She didn't know what to say, but she didn't want Jia Deliya to fall into such a state.

Yes, isn't joining a dark organization like Team Rocket just a sign of moral decay?

"This is my own choice, and it has nothing to do with them," Cattleya said calmly, taking a deep breath and forcibly controlling her emotions.

This is a way of cutting ties; she doesn't want her family to be involved because of her own affairs.

"You don't understand me, Zhulan."

Cattleya looked at Mammon, and Mammon finally understood her thoughts and supported her.

"I see. I've been looking forward to that moment all along. I sincerely hope that you can stand in front of me and fight me with all your might, Cattleya."

Zhu Lan's eyes gradually cleared; she had made her decision.

Even the rational Zhu Lan felt her emotions surge, but she managed to control herself.

“But it shouldn’t be like this!” Zhu Lan whispered.

Seemingly understanding its trainer's determination, the strong and ferocious Garchomp slowly stepped in front of Cynthia, its heavy and majestic dragon eyes fixed on Cattleya.

"Even if you hate me for the rest of your life, I can't just watch you sink into darkness. I must take you back."

Zhu Lan's voice sounded somewhat low; she knew that doing this might make Jia Deliya hate her for the rest of her life.

but……

She simply couldn't stand idly by; she wanted to bring Cattleya back into the sunlight, instead of letting her sink into the 'gutter' and have her future ruined.

I must take you back!
