Chapter 1691 - 1685: The Corrupt Power!

Chapter 1691: Chapter 1685: The Corrupt Power!

Before Cain truly became the Champion of Hoenn, Irene had already contacted him and expressed her willingness to submit. She only wanted to obtain Cain’s protection.

Moreover, Irene was willing to hand over with both hands the intelligence system she had built over so many years in the Sacred Church, spread throughout the entire Pokémon world.

Cain did not even think before accepting her surrender. And today, subduing Will was her letter of introduction.

Just as Irene said, everything she did was to survive. That was all.

How similar she was to the Cain of the past.

"I’ll leave them to you."

Cain said this to Irene, and then, together with his Pokémon, directly passed by them, advancing toward the inside of this alternate space.

Inside there was the direction Darkrai had mentioned, the direction from which he felt something calling him.

Irene nodded indifferently. She watched Cain gradually walk away and then signaled to her subordinates with her eyes.

"Irene, live well."

Will also more or less understood the situation. On his face there was an extremely bitter smile. He already knew what his end would be, but he did not feel fear nor become hysterical like before.

When Kael was captured and the Sacred Church became a target that everyone wanted to crush, Will had already known what his end would be. In the end, regardless of whether he managed to bring Cain down or not, he was going to die. The only difference was whether he would die sooner or later.

But he simply was not willing to accept it. Why, while doing practically the same thing, did Cain come out unharmed, even advancing without obstacles until now becoming the Champion of a region? Without concrete evidence, even if people knew Cain’s true identity, no one would dare act because of it.

Because of that, he thought of this plan: lure Cain in, trick him into admitting his identity, and then upload it to the internet. With that, everything would be resolved.

Only, he had not expected Irene not to be on his side.

Although thinking about it carefully, it was logical. Irene only wanted to survive, while Will’s plan made both of them lose the opportunity to keep living.

Under Kael’s command, the members of the Sacred Church had filled the entire Pokémon world with chaos. How could there still be anyone willing to accept them?

The only one was Cain. He had great personal strength, and also powerful forces under his command. He could accept them.

Because Cain’s Team Heaven lacked a special unit of psychics. Many things were somewhat inconvenient, and this was also because the time from Team Heaven’s birth to its strengthening had been too short. In contrast, psychics could not be cultivated overnight.

Whether it was Team Rocket or other underground forces, all of them possessed more or less their own psychic units. The Aether Foundation had even sent people directly to the Sacred Church to learn.

Now that there was something ready-made, Cain, of course, would not reject it.

Moreover, it came accompanied by an intelligence system.

"I’m sorry..."

Irene’s voice sounded again. Although her expression was still cold, her gaze had already changed.

...

Cain passed by them without worrying about how Irene would finish the matter. After all, through the Unown, he had already taken control of this alternate space. No one could escape his palm.

Compared with the end of these members of the Sacred Church, Cain cared more about what Darkrai had spoken of.

It was probably precisely because of that thing that these people’s psychic power could transform.

Darkrai slowly emerged from Cain’s shadow.

Now, both Darkrai’s appearance and aura had undergone great changes. He looked more confident, and the aura of his body was also very stable.

After a period of effort, the Ghost-type energy of Giratina inside Darkrai’s body, thanks to his own work, had already been almost completely worn away. Only a very small and stubborn portion remained, but that no longer had too much influence on his overall combat strength.

Darkrai had almost recovered his strength to the peak of back then. What came next would be the moment to charge toward an even more powerful level.

And if, with the strength he had now, something could still attract him so much, that proved that Will and the others really had found an extraordinary treasure. Perhaps not even they themselves knew what they had found.

They only felt that, with that thing, they could suppress Cain’s psychic power, lock him alone in an alternate space, and thus have the opportunity to trick him into revealing certain things.

Clack.

Cain looked at the black gem floating before him.

It looked a little like an extremely high-quality Dusk Stone.

Only now, even a Supreme-quality Dusk Stone would not awaken Darkrai’s interest.

"This... what is it...?"

Cain stretched out his hand toward that black stone suspended in the air.

But as soon as he approached, he felt an obvious stabbing pain on his skin, a completely pure sensation of corrosion.

Even wrapping his hand with psychic power, he felt the psychic power over his hand being frantically corroded.

Not only that. That corroded psychic power even had a feeling of being assimilated. If he grabbed it directly, he feared that the psychic power in his body would transform like Will’s and the others’ into that special psychic power. However, this would not be permanent. After some time, it would slowly recover.

Only, this stone’s restriction on Psychic-type energy was real.

Cain narrowed his eyes as he observed it. Only Darkrai, beside him, showed an expression as if he wanted to say something but was holding back.

Cain smiled.

"What is it, Darkrai? Does this thing really attract you that much?"

"Darkrai!"

Darkrai nodded. The desire he felt almost seemed about to burst from his eyes.

"The majority is Dark-type energy, but within this Dark-type energy, surprisingly, there is also some Ghost-type energy entangled. They do not counteract each other. Instead, it resembles a little the current situation inside your body," Cain said, looking at Darkrai.

Hearing this, Darkrai also nodded.

He felt that, if he could obtain that stone, it would bring him enormous benefits. It was the purest instinct within a Pokémon’s body, like the desire of a beast.
