Chapter 1721 - 1715: Cain’s Identity!

Chapter 1721: Chapter 1715: Cain’s Identity!

"Leader Cyrus, long time no see. Do you really not remember me?"

Hearing that, Cyrus frowned.

Although Cain’s fame was enormous throughout the entire Pokémon world, he did not remember having seen Cain. Even on television or the internet, Cyrus had not paid too much attention to Cain.

Although he was a Champion, after all, he was the Champion of Hoenn. He could not interfere in his affairs. For Team Galactic, Cain’s threat level was even lower than the one brought by Cynthia, who was now gaining more and more influence in the Sinnoh region.

"Have we met? I do not remember too clearly."

Cain pretended to slap his forehead.

"Look at my memory. With this appearance, perhaps Leader Cyrus really has not seen me before."

"However, as a kind reminder, you may stop the movement inside your pocket. I have already placed a psychic barrier around us, so I am afraid your signal will not be able to get out."

Hearing Cain’s words, Cyrus’s expression stiffened. He had not expected that his small movements had also been discovered.

According to the rumors, Cain, the Champion of the Hoenn region, not only possessed powerful strength, but was also an extremely remarkable psychic power user. Now it seemed that everything matched quite well.

Only, if the signal could not get out, Cyrus truly had no confidence in being able to defeat Cain, who was a Champion.

While Cyrus summoned his Pokémon one by one, Cain took out from his storage space a completely black cloak and put it on with complete naturalness.

But when Cyrus saw Cain’s appearance after changing his outfit, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"You!! Is it you? The deputy leader of Team Rocket!?" Cyrus could not help shouting.

Because the person now appearing in front of him truly exceeded his expectations.

The only person dressed like this whom Cyrus could say he knew was that deputy leader of Team Rocket, the one who, according to Giovanni’s words, possessed strength comparable to that of a regional Champion.

Back then, when he heard Giovanni praise the deputy leader of Team Rocket like that, he and Lusamine, the president of the Aether Foundation, had even mocked it a little. He had not expected that today reality would slap him in the face.

And what horrified him even more than that slap in the face was that the Champion of the Hoenn League was actually the deputy leader of Team Rocket. No matter from what angle one looked at it, it seemed like a joke.

If any person came and told him to his face that the Champion of a region was the deputy leader of Team Rocket, Cyrus would probably laugh out loud.

The problem was that now this fact was right before his eyes.

But then everything made sense. Why the Champion of the Hoenn League had appeared at the place he had agreed on with Sird.

If the identity of that Hoenn Champion was changed to that of Team Rocket’s deputy leader, then everything was explained.

After quite some time, Cyrus came back to himself, with a complicated expression.

"Then, does that mean your leader, Giovanni, did not really disappear? Was all of this only an act?"

"Heh... isn’t Leader Cyrus overestimating himself too much?" Cain let out a cold laugh, with a tone full of disdain.

Just because he called him Leader Cyrus, did he really think he was someone extraordinary?

Being ridiculed by Cain, Cyrus’s expression did not change. In essence, he did not care too much about such things. What was now before him was how to escape from Cain’s hands.

Although in his heart there was a voice constantly telling him that today it was impossible for him to escape, and that Cain undoubtedly had complete confidence, otherwise he would not have appeared before him without hiding his identity.

But surrendering just like that clearly did not match his style.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Cyrus made his final attempt.

Cain shrugged.

"Nothing special. I just need Leader Cyrus to help me with something."

"What help?"

Cyrus felt a bad premonition in his heart.

"Very simple. Although Boss Giovanni is no longer here, as his successor, I still hope to be able to perfectly carry out his Team Rainbow Rocket. Let us say it is to help him fulfill his wish. This is also something I, as a member of the later generation, should do," Cain said with a smile as he looked at Cyrus, wanting to see the changes in his expression.

"You want me to continue supporting Team Rocket so that it remains the leader of Team Rainbow Rocket?"

"If you had said that from the beginning, this matter would have been simple. Making it so complicated..."

"Do you Team Rocket people like to resolve everything with force? Last time Giovanni was like this, and now you, Team Rocket’s successor leader, are the same," Cyrus said, as if he had let out a sigh of relief.

"No, no, no. Leader Cyrus, do not misunderstand. Boss Giovanni’s style of acting is different from mine. He was good at trusting a person, good at catching that person’s weak point, and also good at taking advantage of someone’s strengths."

"But I have self-awareness. I know where my capabilities and my limits are."

"So, I am sorry. What I need is not the support of your Team Galactic, but for your entire Team Galactic to be incorporated into our Team Rocket."

"You!!" Cyrus’s eyes suddenly opened wide.

Now he understood. Cain was playing with him. Saying that he wanted to incorporate all of Team Galactic was not as accurate as saying that he wanted to take him, Cyrus, completely into his hands.

Only, he did not know that this unconscious thought had just touched precisely the point in Cain’s heart.

Since they could not reach an agreement by talking, then only battle could resolve it.

Although Cyrus was not sure whether he could defeat Cain, who was a Champion, how would he know without fighting?

"Houndoom, Gyarados, Mega Evolution!"

When Cyrus’s voice fell, the only two Pokémon on his team that could Mega Evolve began Mega Evolution and raised their own strength.

It had to be said that Cyrus, as the leader of Team Galactic, possessed quite good strength.

But that was for the Cain from before. As for the current Cain, he could say without retreating that he possessed enough strength to look down on the entire Pokémon world.

Even if a first-level Legendary Pokémon appeared in front of him, he would not necessarily be helpless before a battle.
