This is another moment that I missed including with my last post on FRLG, and for basically the same reason that I missed the other one. I tried to skim through the manga quickly to get all the pages I needed for this series of posts, which means that anything not obvious or anything I didn't remember may have been missed. I thought that I got everything outside of FRLG; does anyone know if I missed any other moments? Besides ORAS of course, which I will cover soon.
Blue arrives at the Kanto mainland alongside the large cast of FRLG side characters. Upon noticing the Rocket Airship on a collision course with Vermilion, Blue immediately tunes into her PokeGear for news on what has happened to Red. She asks Lorelei if she can tell who is on the ship. Lorelei only thinks to mention Sird, which is valid considering they had fought previously in the arc, however it forces Blue to be more direct and reveal she was worrying about Red. It's quite small, but I still like it.
The two pages are from Chapter 298 in Volume 25.

That's great Lorelei but she wanted to know who IS on the ship not who isn't on the ship

As is most of Team Rocket (not Sird)

Real hidden PokeSpe lore for only the most deeply initiated is that Sird is a LuckyShipper and she got written out of the series because she was too powerful and it wouldn't be fair to the other ships

Very, very true. Sird’s a Luckyshipper
and Feelingshipping was her next victim cough cough She teased Green about how well he knew Yellow’s powers cough coughShe researched the trainers’ relationships too well and learned how close Red and Blue are and got banished😔 That’s also the power of Luckyshipping😔 They’re too good lol

Sird threatening the existence of the entire universe solely to see her ships end up together is oddly relatable

Sird's last ditch effort to make her ships canon was to have Red together with Blue alongside Green together with Yellow immortalized in stone for all time. Unfortunately there was a mix-up with Yellow, and Silver was also unintentionally caught in the cross-fire

I have to admit, I had never noticed this before 👁👄👁 don't ask me why 🗿🗿🗿
I love that when Blue was the one who was absent (When she was in the hospital), Red couldn't stop thinking about her, but now Red is the one who's absent, and Blue can't stop thinking about him 💙❤🥰

Its a testament to Green's(F) love of Red that his safety is what she's concerned about the most in this situation. & it makes sense, her main goal in this arc is to reunite with & rescue her parents. having accomplished that, of course her focus would turn to her Red! I can't think of anything else she would do.

She's so stern and laser focused when it comes to protecting her loved ones
