"We don't have any Pokémon, how could we possibly compete with Team Rocket?"
“There are ghosts around. I’m not going there no matter what.”
Rena's suggestion was immediately rejected by everyone, who were all very afraid that it would provoke Team Rocket.
"What should we do? Grandpa Fuji went to find Team Rocket for everyone's sake. Are we just going to ignore it like this?"
Seeing how scared everyone was and how unwilling they were to save the old man Fuji, Rena felt a surge of dissatisfaction and couldn't help but shout out.
"It's not that we're ignoring it."
"The Rockets will eventually let Fuji go. Let's wait a few more days."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Rena lowered her head, gritted her teeth, and looked at the frightened crowd, shouting angrily, "You're all so cold-hearted!"
Click!
Just as Rena lowered her head in disappointment and everyone fell silent, a voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Crimson standing at the door, and Azure beside her.
"..."
His crimson eyes swept over the crowd with a faint glance, and those who were looked at couldn't help but feel ashamed and lowered their heads.
"Red...blue..."
Upon seeing this, Rena couldn't help but murmur something.
"..."
Akane didn't say anything, nodded to Rena, pulled down the brim of her 1.6-inch red and white baseball cap, and went straight out the door.
"Rena, leave Old Man Fuji to us. We'll rescue him!" Azure stood at the door, gripping the handrail, waved to Rena, and said.
"Red, Blue, are you trying to rescue Fuji? No, that's too dangerous. One wrong move and you'll both die at Team Rocket's hands..."
Seeing this, Rena quickly called out to Ayame, who was trying to stop her, and tried to go and stop her.
However, the only response she received was the sound of the door closing and the azure voice:
"Don't worry, leave it to us, it'll be fine!"

95. Pokémon Tower: Life will eventually end! (Please subscribe to the full series!)
Lavender Town, Pokémon Tower!
The sky was now dark, a mix of crimson and azure. After leaving the Pokémon House, they entered the Pokémon Tower.
"..."
Red, with Pikachu on his shoulder, walked through the Pokémon Tower. His attention was focused on the tombstones around him, and his heart was slightly heavy.
At the same time, without him noticing, the blue figure that had been following him suddenly disappeared.
Although Crimson noticed it and was a little puzzled, she didn't care about it because of the other party's quirky personality.
Then, they turned their attention back to their surroundings.
The entire Pokémon Tower was extremely dark, with only a few candles placed along the walls providing a sliver of light.
Pidgey... Sandslash... Butterfree... Rattata...
By the light of these candles, Crimson could clearly see the rows of white tombstones on the ground, each bearing the name of a Pokémon.
All sorts of Pokémon names came into view, and for some reason, a heavy feeling settled over him.
It seems that one day in the future, 23 will also have to return to this Pokémon Tower for some reason...
Life will end one day, and although it is unavoidable, it is a reality that we have to accept!
Green, and blue.
They all realized their own path.
So, where does my path lead...?
"..."
Lost in thought, Crimson found herself standing before a white tombstone, gazing at the name Pikachu engraved on it, and reached out her hand.
"Pikachu!"
At this moment, Pikachu seemed to notice that something was wrong with Crimson, rubbed against his cheek, and let out a soft cry.
"...!!!"
Crimson was suddenly jolted awake from her reverie, staring at the empty space in front of her.
Then, with a slightly helpless chuckle, he shook his head and put the question out of his mind.
"Let's go."
"Pikachu!"
He stroked Pikachu's chin on his shoulder and saw its comfortable, squinted eyes. His crimson mood gradually returned, and he spoke softly.
Then he continued walking towards the upper levels of the Pokémon Tower.
...
...
And at the same time, on the other side.
The fifth floor of the Pokémon Tower.
"Heh heh, that guy Akane definitely didn't notice that I've already reached the fifth floor and will be able to reach the sixth floor soon."
Our Blue Sister is very bold. After sneaking away from Crimson, she quickly made her way to the fifth floor.
The Pokémon Tower has seven floors, with the seventh floor being the top. Azure has now reached the fifth floor, which means she is not far from the top.
"What? There are no ghosts or anything like that..."
Azure, holding a flashlight, looked around at the so-called ghost, then waved her hand dismissively and spoke.
"Besides, now that Team Rocket has taken over this place, the Ghosts are probably just a trick they use to scare people."
"When the time comes, I'll go first as Red, act as the vanguard, and explore the top of the tower to see the strength of these Team Rocket members."
"If it's weak, I can handle it by myself. If it's strong, I can let Akira test its strength, which can also be considered helping Akira."
Thinking of this, Bilan couldn't help but chuckle again. After walking a distance, she saw the stairs leading to the sixth floor and shone the light on them.
"Looks like the Rockets are up here!"
Reaching the top of the stairs, Azure shone the light onto the dim staircase and murmured something.
Then, becoming a little more attentive and vigilant, he stepped up the stairs and arrived at the sixth floor.
Seeing that the place was still empty, and with the light shining around, Azure frowned slightly.
"There shouldn't be any ghosts or anything, right? There's nothing here."
That's what she said, but for some reason, her sixth sense kept reminding her that something bad was about to happen.
"leave here!"
"leave here!"
"Get out of here immediately!"
A series of chilling sounds suddenly rang out before the last section of stairs leading to the top of the Pokémon Tower.
A phantom, enveloped in purple smoke and emanating a gas-like aura, suddenly appeared and charged forward.
"Ah~!!!"
Azure's face turned pale instantly, and she was so frightened that she dropped the flashlight and ran away.
In an instant, a sharp female voice resounded throughout the entire Pokémon Tower!
...
...
Meanwhile, at the top of the tower!
"Fuji, it seems this is what the boss needs. Our negotiations have been quite successful."
A man with bluish-green hair, dressed in a uniform distinctly different from that of the regular Rockets, looked at the bound Fuji old man and spoke.
At the same time, he was also holding a box in his hand, which contained three beads, one large and one small, with different colors and patterns.
"Lance, now that you've gotten what you wanted, shouldn't you retreat?"
The elderly Fuji was tied to a pillar. Upon hearing the man's words, he joined in the pleading.
Lance is one of the Rockets' top executives and one of the team's famous "Four Generals"!
"Although our negotiations on 807 went smoothly, we still need you, sir, to stay here for a while."
Lance closed the box. Hearing the old man Fuji's plea, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly. Although he used polite language, it made the old man Fuji's expression change.
"you..."
"Ah~!!!"
Just as the elderly Fuji was about to say something, he was interrupted by a series of sounds coming from downstairs.
"It looks like someone is coming to rescue you, old man."
Upon hearing this voice, Lance's lips curled up even higher, while the old man Fuji also became somewhat stunned and regretful upon hearing it.
If he hadn't rashly come to negotiate with the Rockets, they wouldn't have risked their lives to come here and rescue him.
"Alright, I'll leave this to you. Go down and check on the situation, then I'll go back and hand in my mission."
Then, Lance shook his head, looked at a Team Rocket squad leader and said something, then pointed at a Team Rocket member and gave an order.
Then, he threw a Poké Ball out of the window at the top of the tower, grabbed the rope that Crobat was hanging on, and left.
