When Pyrce was younger, he lost two of his Lapras with their child hatching before it could see its parents. He became so hung up about it that he wanted to catch Celebi so he could set things right but in the process, somehow was driven to committing evil deeds using his ice sculptures and mind control powers, legendary Pokemon, six children he kidnapped and Team Rocket itself.
The problem is that Kusaka doesn't elaborate on Pryce's path to corruption. I personally think it'd be better if he wrote out Pryce's past and made it an bonus chapter so the readers could understand his pain and motives more. I mean, this motivation could've worked if it was explained better. Here's my idea:
Pryce was an explorer who was searching for an old mask up North (Sinnoh?) that was possessed by an evil force and gave the wearer ice-based powers. On the way, his two Lapras laid an egg and it eventually hatched but this happy occasion ended when the parents were killed by a poacher. Despite his grieve and the baby Lapras's sadness, he continued to search for the Mask of Ice and eventually found it. He then made his biggest mistake yet and put the mask on his face, giving him powers over ice but also changing him thanks to the evil force. He then devised a plan to reunite the baby Lapras with his parents, not caring who would pay the price (pun intended) for his actions.
So the evil corrupted him and caused him do all this. It may not seem much but if Kusaka thought of it, then it might've worked. Plus, it could've been elaborate more in the HGSS arc where it's shown where the mask originated (Johto or Sinnoh. The latter is more likely) and beat the mess we got before BW.
What do you think?
