They actually wanted to capture Mewtwo again!
Team Rocket was really asking for trouble!
Dian appeared in the back seat of Chinami's police car with Ralts in his arms. He casually took out a daifuku and held it to Ralts's mouth.
"Om nom~"
Ralts happily took the daifuku, then rubbed those sleepy eyes, curled into a ball, and fell asleep.
Dian smoothed Ralts's hair, then took out a Poké Ball and recalled the little Pokémon.
He lay down and closed his eyes, turning things over in his mind.
No wonder Anabel alone had been able to resolve the temporal distortions near Fuchsia City. Fulindo had probably received sudden news of Mewtwo's movements and abandoned his plans for Celebi and Meloetta to focus on Mewtwo instead.
After all, compared with Meloetta and Celebi, Mewtwo naturally took priority.
Most likely, Team Rocket believed Mewtwo was stronger—or perhaps they simply had more experience with Mewtwo.
They had already made two attempts to capture Mewtwo, after all... That explanation made sense, but there might also have been reasons he knew nothing about.
Dian yawned. Why does sleeping in a car feel so comfortable? He shifted position, then remembered what Lorelei had mentioned: visiting the Fuchsia Gym.
The League wasn't stupid. There was no way it knew nothing about the explosion on New Island or the Clear Cliff incident.
However, the Kanto League had one particular trait—or rather, all regional Leagues shared it:
They took a hands-off approach to Legendary Pokémon.
That attitude was hardly surprising. Although the League remained wary of such beings, it wasn't afraid of them.
Besides, Legendary Pokémon could protect themselves. Otherwise, they would have returned to dust long ago.
Creatures that endured long enough to become legends had their own reasons for existing and their own place in the world.
