Juan, as someone who had once gathered within himself the positions of League president and League Champion, could he really not see what things were wrong with the Hoenn League?
Only, because of restrictions from many sides, he could not act like Cain.
Cain, on the other hand, had no such scruples, because he possessed a weapon more powerful than Juan.
Team Heaven!
That was right. When Cain acted against those families, he used Team Heaven from the shadows.
When a person reaches the peak of power both on the surface and in the darkness, there is nothing he cannot resolve.
Every day, Cain sent Brad and Catherine a list. On that list were all the families that resisted him.
Completely eradicating those families was impossible. After all, all of them were a force of the Hoenn League, which meant a force in Cain's hands.
But making them stop jumping around so much was not a problem.
Were they not so idle that they liked jumping all over the place?
Team Heaven would send some squads to cause problems in the properties of those families, making them have no time to be distracted with the orders promulgated by Cain. By the time they managed to react, everything would already have become an established reality, and anyone's opposition would be useless.
Did they want to secretly place obstacles?
Who could compare with Cain when it came to placing obstacles for them from the shadows?
One only had to ask them: were they afraid of Team Heaven?
Afraid?
Then that was fine. Since they were afraid of Team Heaven, they should cling tightly to Cain's thigh. If they dared to say even a single word of refusal, did they believe or not that Cain would simply wash his hands of it?
It was guaranteed that the next day, Team Heaven would advance in force!
However, there really were some families that, after being cornered, wanted to take refuge in Team Heaven.
Regarding these families, Cain, of course, was delighted to see it. Whether it was the Hoenn League or Team Heaven, were they not both forces under Cain's command?
If they were in the League, it would not be convenient for Cain to use overly radical methods to deal with them, since he had to preserve his image as Champion.
But in Team Heaven, it was different.
What were Team Heaven's rules?
Team Heaven's rules were the words that came out of Cain's mouth. Swallowing a small or medium-sized family in one bite and taking their resources and wealth into his hands; in that way, what kind of waves could those members of those families still raise?
There were also some relatively rational families that chose to observe the situation.
When they discovered that taking refuge in Team Heaven was not as good as clinging to Cain's thigh, they had no choice but to obediently hug Cain's thigh.
Because of that, what Juan worried about did not happen. Although he felt quite surprised, after confirming that it had not happened, he copied without hesitation Cain's system of classifying incidents by levels and applied it to the political affairs of the Hoenn League.
And when he learned it, it was something incredible!
Juan felt that he had wasted most of his life. What a hard life he had lived.
If he had been able to handle all those annoying affairs of the Hoenn League in this way earlier, every day he would only have had to work two hours, even less than two hours. Even four hours a day would have left him satisfied.
This was what one called life!
Before, every time he buried his head in work, Drake was at the side drinking tea, making him so angry that even his blood pressure rose.
But now, after implementing Cain's policy, he could drink afternoon tea together with Drake!
This little life...
Even the policies that Cain promoted after assuming office in the Hoenn region became famous throughout all the Leagues. Many people from other regions also wanted to implement this level-based management system, only there were some intermediate details about which they needed to come to Hoenn to learn from its experience.
These were the great changes that occurred in the Hoenn region during the month after Cain became Champion.
In summary, everything was developing in a better direction, and the situations that Juan and Drake had feared did not appear.
...
Kanto region, Viridian City.
Giovanni, dressed in a formal black suit, rose from his seat in the office. On his face, he wore a confident smile, even an arrogant one.
"Let's go. Today is a moment capable of changing history!"
Upon hearing Giovanni's words, Cain, who was sitting on the sofa resting with his eyes closed, also stood up. He nodded, and his gaze involuntarily drifted toward the armored Mewtwo standing behind Giovanni like a guard.
They had not seen each other in two months. Although Mewtwo's strength had not increased as much as during the first month, the growth of these two months had already allowed it to raise its strength to the limit.
Afterward, it would still have room to continue growing, but that room for growth required Mewtwo to possess self-awareness, to free itself from the restrictions of the mental armor. Only, was that possible?
In a short time, it was impossible!
Cain stood up. This time, he would participate in this meeting as the deputy leader of Team Rocket, and not as the leader of Team Heaven.
Giovanni had no objection to Cain's choice.
After all, no matter what identity he participated with, he would inevitably take Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket, as his reference.
It was a special meeting room, dark and black. Inside, several chairs had been placed. If they were counted carefully, one could discover that there were seven, exactly the number of colors of the rainbow.
There was no table, only seven solitary chairs.
After Giovanni and Cain entered this closed room, one by one, images of human figures appeared, sitting on the chairs without saying a word. They only watched Giovanni and Cain, who were entering from outside the room. Everyone's gazes were different, and in each person's heart, there were also their own thoughts and plans.
Giovanni showed no courtesy. He walked with large strides to the chair that belonged to him and sat directly. Cain also silently sat in his own chair. He was not wearing a black robe, but his face was wrapped with psychic power.
In this present world, among all psychics, Cain had the confidence to say that there was no one capable of forcibly seeing through his psychic disguise.
There could be people whose psychic power was stronger than his, but there was absolutely no one strong enough to pierce through his camouflage.
