Chapter 1701 - 1695: Giovanni’s Ace!

Kael knew Giovanni very well. He was someone who, on the surface, did not seem difficult to deal with, but only a few people knew how high Giovanni's ambition truly was.

That even he fully accepted Cain and raised his position to the never-before-existing post of deputy leader of Team Rocket within the organization...

All of this made Cain's identity as Champion seem natural in Kael's eyes now.

Pat, pat.

Cain gently patted Kael on the shoulder.

"Wait a little longer. It will not be long now..."

Kael also nodded with understanding.

"Yes, indeed, it will not be long..."

Cain slowly stood up and stretched.

"We have already talked quite a lot. I should also go see what the result will be. You must know that today will be a day that changes the structure of the entire Pokémon world."

Before Cain disappeared using Teleport, Kael shouted in a low voice one last time: "Don't forget to tell me the result!"

Cain nodded and disappeared from there with Teleport.

...

Boom!

Outside Mt. Silver, Cain silently hid among the crowd.

He watched from afar the battle on the ground between Giovanni and the council Elder.

At that moment, the battle between the two was in a heated state. The people around them, whether the League troops or Team Rocket's army, could only watch from afar in their positions.

These two people were the key that would decide the victory or defeat of this battle. The others did not have the strength or ability to intervene.

Only when one of the two sides fell into an obvious disadvantage and was placed in a passive position would the battle that belonged to them begin.

Their function was to try to reverse the general situation when one side entered decline. But in the end, what would affect the entire situation was still the battle between the council Elder and Giovanni.

The Pokémon of both had already fully come out.

Giovanni's ground formation, together with his ace Pokémon, Beedrill, and the armored Mewtwo, practically pressured the council Elder during the battle.

Even without the armored Mewtwo, Giovanni, relying on Mega Beedrill and the ground formation he had carefully cultivated for so many years, almost without weaknesses or flaws, could rival the council Elder. Only, he would not have absolute certainty of victory.

There were five Pokémon in total!

"Five Pokémon, and all of them are the core of the formation. They are connected to one another, help and strengthen one another, and also compensate for each other's weaknesses. It can be said to be an optimal combination."

Cain looked at Giovanni's formation, and in his heart, he could not help exclaiming with admiration.

Especially that Mega Beedrill whose speed had reached the extreme. At first glance, it seemed somewhat out of place within Giovanni's entire ground formation. It could even be said that it did not fit too well.

But Giovanni's Mega Beedrill was originally not integrated into his formation. He simply used it as an existence similar to an assassin, an extremely terrifying assassin.

Normally, it did not attack, but every time it did, it caused considerable damage to the opponent's Pokémon.

Giovanni perfectly avoided the weaknesses of a Pokémon like Mega Beedrill, leaving only its proud speed and attack, and taking these two points directly to the extreme.

A brutal destructive force.

With just a formation like this, he could already look down upon the entire Pokémon world.

And if one added to that an armored Mewtwo infinitely close to the strength of a first-level Legendary Pokémon, what concept was that?

It practically had no opponents.

Even the current overall president of the Pokémon League, the most powerful human force in the Pokémon world, before such a Giovanni, could only adopt a defensive posture.

But the more it was like this, the less joy could be seen on Giovanni's always proud and arrogant face.

The council Elder, who was at a disadvantage, also did not show a defeated expression. He only had a calm face, without emotional fluctuations, calmly directing his Pokémon to resist Giovanni's attacks.

Cain observed the battle between the two from the crowd and gradually approached toward the front without attracting attention.

Most of his attention was still on Giovanni's Mega Beedrill.

This Mega Beedrill was practically the deepest secret Giovanni had hidden, and also his ace Pokémon.

Now he solemnly showed it before everyone, without a doubt showing everything he had.

Because of that, this was a life-or-death battle, a battle where everything was staked, a battle where there was no success without sacrifice.

"Originally, I thought the information contained in the disc the Boss sent me was because he did not have enough confidence, which was why he did something like that. But thinking about it now, how could someone like Giovanni not be full of confidence in himself?"

"He cut off his own retreat and did not leave himself any escape route. He did it to increase his own confidence, determination, and will to fight."

Cain thought silently.

While admiring Giovanni, Cain became even more curious about the result of this battle.

Whether he won or lost, the Pokémon world would change from this moment on.
