[Manga] Masked Man from PKMN GSC

So I've finished reading the Pokemon Adventures GSC arc and I don't quit understand this character.

Has anybody an explanation?
What do you think?

Spoiler:

As far as I know he wanted to reunite his Lapras with its parents.
But if that was his only goal why did he have to play villian and kidnap children?

Let just say , He was a Old man who lost his mental balance when His 2 Laprus died and did ''Mad'' stuff .

Yeah, the Masked Man was just an old nut-case.

and the thread of the mysterious Masked Man fell through a portal and landed in Pokemon General.

Hmm, it's been a long while since I've read PokéSpe, but I think I vaguely remember someone saying that kids are easier to raise the why you want? Kind of like brainwashing from an early age? I guess he wanted an elite team of six to be raised from youth (now that I think about it, kind of like trainers raising a team of six pokémon!) to do his bidding. These kids have to be strong to gather the feathers from legendaries (was that what they were doing?), after all. I don't know why he chose those six, though.

I think it was something to do with their heritage: hence Silver. I presume there must have been something about the parents of Green, Will, Karen as well - I doubt he could have just abducted a baby Youngster Joey and used him as a weapon.

Thanks for moving this Thread. I didn't know it belonged into this forum.
On the matter of the masked man, it would explain his actions but I think it is a weak explanation.

What I meant was why did he kidnap somebody in the first place. He did capture the legendary birds and I don't think that anybody would argue against him time traveling to reunite his Lapras with its parents.

He didn't want to reunite them...he wanted to prevent his separation from the parent Lapras. Gold's Pichu producing as much power as a Zekrom to mess with Celebi is what caused the Lapras reunion.

Ah right, so he did capture the birds without the help of his minions (well, sorta). I don't actually remember precisely what the kids' roles were. The two Rocket executives pretty much oversaw the Rocket operations, but what did Will and Karen do again? Maybe he kidnapped these children to be trained as the face of his operations while he schemes in the shadows?

Guy was just a bit of a loon. Good intentions, poor execution.
