After the matter was settled, Green mentioned that her hand felt a bit sore and decided it would be better to stop teasing Eddie.
Then Green moved away from Eddie's embrace and sat to the side.
Lapras's body was quite large and could carry about four people on its back.
With only Green and Eddie present at the moment, there was plenty of space.
So Green's previous actions had really been causing mischief.
But since Green had already helped him resolve the problem, Eddie expressed that he had graciously forgiven her for her provocative behavior.
"Dear, at Lapras's speed, we should be able to reach the Seafoam Islands this afternoon. Do you have any plans?"
Green felt she had done enough and then started discussing business matters.
After all, they were clearly heading toward Team Rocket, and there would definitely be a major battle on the Seafoam Islands.
"It's quite simple. It depends on whether the other side has the three executives present. If they don't have the three executives, then unless their numbers are so vast that they cover the entire Seafoam Islands, I can defeat them directly."
"If the three executives are there, then we'd better lay low for a while and make decisions based on the situation."
Eddie displayed his confidence. With his current strength, if the three executives and Giovanni weren't present, he could be nearly invincible against Team Rocket.
Unless there were large numbers of Team Rocket's Gym Leader-level trainers on the Seafoam Islands who could resist Eddie's overwhelming assault, Elite-level trainers alone wouldn't be able to stop him.
"My dear, you should still be careful. Confidence is good, but caution is better. Don't be too reckless."
Green naturally believed in Eddie's abilities, but she was also somewhat worried that Eddie might become overconfident.
"Reckless? Don't worry, that won't happen to me."
Eddie would never be careless. When facing Team Rocket, he always gave his all.
"Alright, Green, there's no major problem on my end. The key issue is on your side."
Eddie spoke to Green with a serious expression. After she had finished her playful behavior, seeing Eddie's grave look, she immediately knew something critical was coming. She put away her teasing demeanor and listened carefully.
"Green, do you remember what I told you back at the Safari Zone?"
"What did you say to me at the Safari Zone? Which thing?"
"The statement that frightened you when you heard it."
Upon hearing this, Green immediately recalled the words Eddie had used to scare her.
"You're quite brave. You dared to go there even knowing there were Team Rocket members present. Are you no longer afraid of Flying-type Pokemon?"
These were Eddie's exact words. Green thought about it carefully and realized Eddie's words at that time seemed to carry deeper meaning. Then she suddenly seemed to remember something, and her face turned pale.
"Remember now? I specifically mentioned your fear of Flying-types not to frighten you or to discuss Professor Oak."
Eddie said this calmly. Even though he had let something slip at that time, he might as well continue the conversation.
"Eddie, are you saying there are large Flying-types on that island? Or that Team Rocket has trainers who use multiple Flying-type Pokemon?"
Green didn't even use Eddie's pet name at this moment. She was quite scared and tugged at the corner of Eddie's shirt as she asked.
"I don't know if Team Rocket has multiple Flying-type trainers, but I do know that the legendary bird Pokemon, Articuno, lives on the Seafoam Islands."
"Although that Articuno may not be larger than the Flying-type that captured you, it's still quite massive. Green, do you have the confidence to overcome your fear now?"
When Eddie mentioned Articuno, Green's face had turned completely pale. By the end of his words, she had collapsed entirely into Eddie's arms.
This time it wasn't intentional mischief - Green was so frightened that she was nearly powerless.
When someone fears something to such an extent, they will tremble all over and become weak just thinking about or seeing it.
Of course, this level of reaction also means the person is truly terrified to a degree others cannot imagine.
Green was obviously in this state. She had only briefly recalled past events, and now her face was pale as she sat in Eddie's arms.
If she actually saw Articuno, it would be normal for her to be so scared she couldn't move.
"It seems you can't overcome it for now. When Articuno appears, you'll probably collapse immediately."
"How about this - when we reach the Seafoam Islands, we'll split up and you can find a place to hide. If Articuno doesn't appear, you can choose to deal with Team Rocket as appropriate. If Articuno shows up, just find somewhere to hide..."
Green nodded when she heard this and leaned into Eddie's arms.
However, her body was trembling and tears were flowing from the corners of her eyes. She seemed to be crying in fear while recalling past events, and she also seemed to be secretly hating herself for being so useless and unable to help Eddie at all.
Regardless, Green had many thoughts swirling in her mind right now - it was almost chaotic. She herself didn't know what she was thinking about, and Eddie understood Green even less at this moment.
However, Eddie knew that what she needed right now was someone to depend on, so he would be Green's support.
Eddie also understood that unless he arrived too late and Team Rocket had already captured Articuno and left, Articuno would definitely appear, so Green would essentially be useless.
But this was nothing - he had originally planned to come here alone, and only after meeting Green by chance at the Safari Zone had she asked him to bring her along.
Although, because of Green, he had experienced considerable good fortune.
But regardless, he had no intention of seeking help from others. He would believe in and always rely on himself.
"It's alright, Green. It's just Team Rocket - I'll simply eliminate them."
Upon hearing this, Green looked at Eddie. Seeing his confident and commanding expression, she even stopped crying and couldn't help but be somewhat dazed.
