Chapter 1719 - 1713: Giovanni’s Will!

Cain looked at that unsigned white envelope and was slightly stunned. Deep within the invisible, a feeling told him that this was a letter Giovanni had left for him.

Thinking of that, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he casually opened the envelope.

He saw that only a few simple sentences were written inside...

"You are Cain, right? If I am not mistaken, the only person capable of opening this letter should undoubtedly be you."

"When you open this letter, that will also mean that you should have already naturally become the leader of Team Rocket."

"You did well!"

"You are the only person in all of Team Rocket whom I truly acknowledge, and also someone I have watched grow step by step, from a little one who had difficulty even surviving, until reaching this point."

"How should I put it? I feel somewhat relieved."

"My plan failed. The League is not that simple. However, with your ability, perhaps you also have a chance. If you prepare well, you can try to strike it."

"Because, although I have failed, the Elder will undoubtedly not come out well either."

"I know you have always been hiding your strength. Even after becoming Champion of the Hoenn region, you chose to continue hiding your strength."

"Sometimes, I have even suspected whether you are truly someone from this world. It seems as if you can know a little of everything in advance. That ability of foresight even leaves me somewhat astonished."

"Ha, ha, ha, ha... Perhaps I am thinking too much."

"Also, I will not hold you responsible for what you secretly left inside Mewtwo's mind. In reality, even if I wanted to hold you responsible, with my current strength, perhaps it would no longer be enough, right?"

"Treat Mewtwo well. He is quite a good Pokémon! Every time I established a mental connection with him, I could perceive that, although he now already possesses powerful strength, I still have not developed all his potential. The upper limit he possesses is even higher!"

"Only, my time was not enough. I hope you can fully develop his potential. I always feel that creating Mewtwo was not a coincidence, but that there exists a certain predestination..."

"But all of that is no longer important!"

"I believe you can become a better leader of Team Rocket."

"If possible, it would be best for you to use your methods to also take the entire Team Rainbow Rocket into your hands. Only then will you truly possess the strength to face the entire League!"

"Lastly... do not come looking for me..."

Pa!

Seeing the final sentence, Cain closed the letter and struck it against the desk.

His expression changed constantly.

In the end, he let out a long sigh. In the bitterness on his face, there was also some helplessness.

"As expected of Boss Giovanni. He arranged everything!"

"Only, I do not know what exactly your true objective is."

Cain held the letter in his hand, sitting in the executive chair inside the office, and remained silent for a long time.

...

Team Rocket, which originally should have fallen into great chaos, actually extinguished directly as soon as the internal struggle began.

The various Team Rocket executives, whether top executives or ordinary executives, obediently returned to their own posts and carried out the tasks that belonged to them.

Although they no longer pressed the League step by step as before, with the appearance of being about to launch an attack.

Even so, they maintained vigilance at all times and adopted a defensive posture. That made the League, which originally was prepared to seize the opportunity and launch a counterattack, unable to clearly understand the situation.

In the eyes of many high-ranking League officials, the only person capable of making all of Team Rocket regain calm so quickly, someone with such courage and determination, could only be that Team Rocket leader whom even the League deeply feared: Giovanni!

For a time, whether Giovanni had truly been executed on the spot during his battle against the Elder became a mystery.

No one went to ask the Elder the true answer about this matter, because that old man who had devoted his entire life to the League was already walking toward the end of his own life.

In this final period, the Elder spent it together with his only family member in this world, Grandma Syl, and together with the companion of his final years, the next overall president of the League, Matsuda Takashi.

At the end of his life, no one was willing to disturb an old man who was about to depart.

However, since Team Rocket did not fall into chaos nor launch an attack, the League also hoped to take advantage of this period to stabilize and allow the League's transfer of power to be completed smoothly.

Old Matsuda was not the Elder. He did not possess that absolute strength capable of crushing everything, so his right to speak would inevitably not be as strong as the Elder's.

But, if Grandma Syl, the Elder's biological granddaughter, and the white-robed guardian specially prepared for old Matsuda were added, then everything was difficult to say.

Moreover, according to the final meaning of the Elder's words, after leaving, his own Pokémon would be handed over to old Matsuda or to his biological granddaughter, Grandma Syl.

In short, the Elder had already paved the road for old Matsuda. All of this made the others feel envy.

They only thought that old Matsuda was lucky to have married the Elder's biological granddaughter.

But because of the prestige accumulated by the Elder over so many years, his words became extremely useful, and almost no one dared to disobey them.

The League's transfer of power was much smoother than Team Rocket's.

Just as the League was preparing for the Elder's imminent departure, Cain, who had completely taken control of Team Rocket, left Team Rocket's base in Viridian City.

Before the League stabilized completely, he had to stabilize everything that could be stabilized.

Team Rocket was only a relatively small part within Cain's plan.

Sitting on Mega Salamence's back, Cain's expression changed as he looked into the distance. His originally somewhat hesitant expression gradually became firm.
