Chapter 1732 - 1726: The Plan Begins!

No one spoke again. The people in the room slowly left, and in the end, only a few remained.

The three headed by old Matsuda, as well as Drake and Juan.

When everyone had left, Juan slowly spoke, his face full of hesitation.

"Was it really necessary... to do this?"

The authority old Matsuda had managed to show with difficulty disappeared once again, and he recovered his usual appearance.

Those present were all old friends, so he did not need to continue pretending to have the appearance of the overall president of the League.

"It should... be necessary. This was something arranged by the Elder. Moreover, seeing the situation back then, only by following the Elder's arrangements could the best outcome appear."

"..."

"Trust him. He is not the same as us old fellows," Drake said slowly.

...

With Mega Salamence's help, Cain returned to the Heaven Castle, located right above the central building of the Hoenn League.

With Cain's return, Mewtwo, who had originally been accumulating strength and had adopted an attacking posture, restrained his movements.

Moreover, in that enormous metal fortress, an immense invisible cannon had already extended. As long as Cain wanted it, at any moment it could release the combined attack of this peak work of arcane science represented by Nikola and Magearna's Soul-Heart, now that she had already become a true Legendary Pokémon.

As long as there was enough charging time, the attack released would not be much weaker than Mewtwo's.

Cain, upon returning to the Heaven Castle, seemed somewhat melancholic.

"Heh... Can one not build without first destroying?" He said a phrase of uncertain meaning and, accompanied by Mewtwo and Magearna, walked into the interior of the Heaven Castle.

At that moment, all the high-ranking members of Team Heaven had already gathered there waiting.

Originally, for the people of Team Heaven, coming to the Heaven Castle was something troublesome. Not only did they need Pokémon skilled at flying to carry them, but they also had to skillfully use the cover of the clouds to avoid revealing the location of the Heaven Castle. But now, with Irene's surrender, Team Heaven also possessed its own psychic power unit. In this way, going to and from different places became much more convenient.

"Sir!"

Headed by Brad and Catherine, behind them were Irene and Shelly, who had been subdued by Cain long ago and had now become the person in charge of Team Heaven's maritime division.

Thanks to Cain's efforts, the current Team Heaven lacked nothing: neither in high-level combat strength, nor in the number of base members, nor in legions skilled at combined combat. It already belonged to the level of the most powerful forces.

Ordinary family forces, in the eyes of the current Team Heaven, were not very different from a common ant.

Beyond these people, there were also those subordinates known to Cain, veteran figures of Team Heaven.

Perhaps their strength was not very high, but after so many years of training, their work ability was already very competent. Most of them normally were mainly responsible for processing documents, which could also be considered a contribution to Team Heaven from another angle.

And Cain also had not abandoned them because their strength could not keep up.

The current Team Heaven did not lack resources. As high-ranking members, the resources they could receive each month were quite abundant. Moreover, they were still not too old. As for their strength, as long as they advanced little by little, they could always improve.

Skye, Alec, Miyamoto, Karen, Rose, and the others...

Aside from these people, there were two individuals who made Cain feel slightly surprised. Or rather, two people and one Pokémon.

Jessie, James, and Meowth!

That strange trio!

However, observing them at first glance, the aura of those two people and that Pokémon had changed quite a bit. They no longer had that smiling and carefree appearance. Instead, they now showed some of the air of an elite troop.

Back then, Cain had handed those two people over to Brad and Catherine to train them.

No matter how one looked at it, they had potential. Only, their previous worldview was a little crooked. As long as it was corrected, they would be two fairly good subordinates.

And Brad and Catherine were people who had endured for decades under the threat of the Sacred Church on the Space-Time Continent. Naturally, they knew in what kind of situation two people could be trained to the maximum.

The growth of Jessie and James, they had seen with their own eyes, and they finally understood why Cain had placed so much importance on those two people back then.

Their potential really was good.

Even that Meowth, although his own strength was nothing much, possessed intelligence comparable to that of humans. Even, to a certain extent, he surpassed the intelligence of most people. He was a very special Pokémon.

Many times, that Meowth also played the role of the brain within their team.

When Jessie, James, and Meowth saw Cain, aside from feeling great reverence, they could not conceal the emotion in their hearts. They had an appearance eager to try.

They had finally become people of Team Heaven capable of appearing before Cain. They had many things they wanted to tell him, wanted to tell him everything they had experienced during this time and to what extent they had grown. But when they truly saw Cain, they did not know what to say, and could only show their emotion.

Cain smiled and shook his head, without saying much.

This trio, within the current Team Heaven, was already quite good. But from Cain's point of view, they were still too far away. They still had a long road to walk.

"Brad, Catherine," Cain called indifferently.

"Yes!" the two responded respectfully.

"The plan can begin."

Hearing that, Brad and Catherine's eyes lit up.

"Yes!!"

Although the response was still only one word, this time the excitement in their voices could be clearly heard.

"By the way, in order to make use of each person according to their utility, let these two little ones also lead a team to carry out missions."

Cain pointed at Jessie and James, who were standing in front of him with obvious enthusiasm.

Brad and Catherine instantly understood Cain's meaning.

After having trained them for so long, it was time to take them out for a walk and allow them to understand what a true battle should be like.
