When Giovanni "convinced" them, he had surely shown them Mewtwo's strength. It was likely that he had caused them an enormous psychological shadow, making a certain doubt arise in their hearts toward those Pokémon they had originally been pursuing.
Team Galactic pursued control over Dialga and Palkia, who represented time and space. Team Plasma, for its part, pursued Zekrom and Reshiram, who respectively represented ideals and reality!
Watching as the images of these people faded one by one, in the end, only Cain and Giovanni, the main and secondary leaders of Team Rocket, remained in the entire meeting room.
Giovanni looked at Cain, who from beginning to end had not said a second sentence, and raising the corner of his lips, asked with a smile, "What do you think? Do you have anything to say?"
Hearing this, Cain nodded. After pondering slightly for a moment, he said, "N, from Team Plasma, does not seem to have the appearance that the leader of an underground force should have."
The smile on Giovanni's face became even wider.
"Indeed. When I went to the Unova region and found their Team Plasma, I already noticed it. Although that N is the strongest person in Team Plasma, the core of power is in the hands of a group of seven people called the Seven Sages. They are seven extremely deep old foxes."
From Giovanni's words, it could be heard that he felt quite wary toward those seven old men.
"There is also Cyrus, from Team Galactic. The fact that this person is excessively calm proves that inside, he has his own calculations, or rather, he has his own particular goal."
"Among the people present here, who does not have their own goals? Even you, the deputy leader of Team Rocket and leader of Team Heaven, do you not also have your own calculations?"
"As long as we know what he needs or what he pursues, I will be able to control him. He is not a cause for concern." Giovanni waved his hand, appearing extremely confident.
Hearing Giovanni say this, Cain did not add anything else.
"Hm? What is it? Are you only going to comment on Cyrus and N? And what about Lusamine of the Aether Foundation and Lysandre of Team Flare? Compared with Cyrus and the others, you should be relatively more familiar with these two people, shouldn't you?" Giovanni asked again.
"I personally know Lysandre, from Team Flare, quite well, so I will not give too many explanations. I can only say that this person has strength, but he is not especially powerful. His greatest talent lies in the research of Pokémon science, or in other fields of research."
"Originally, he could have become someone comparable to a Pokémon professor. Of course, his administrative talent is also quite outstanding."
After finishing his evaluation of Lysandre, Cain paused slightly.
"As for Lusamine, the president of the Aether Foundation, her ambition is not small, but... Her way of thinking is extreme. She is not an especially ideal leader. On the contrary, she is very suitable to be a canary in a golden cage."
Cain did not hide his disdain for Lusamine in the slightest. It was not because she had targeted him today, but simply because that was his most rational opinion.
"Hahahahaha!"
After listening to Cain's words, Giovanni burst into laughter and did not make too many comments.
Then he changed the subject: "Then, what do you plan to do now with the Hoenn region? According to our plan, Team Heaven must act against the Hoenn League. I wonder how you, who are both the leader of Team Heaven and the Champion of the Hoenn League, intend to handle this matter. Are you going to direct and act in your own play?"
Cain, as the leader of Team Heaven and also as the Champion of the Hoenn League, would not let any news from the Hoenn region escape, whether on the surface or in the darkness, without passing through his information network.
Hearing this, Cain slightly narrowed his eyes.
"I can feel that Juan and the others should know something, more or less. Although they have not shown it, I have perceived it."
"Oh?" Giovanni straightened his body, and his expression became slightly serious. "Do those old men of the Hoenn League know your identity in Team Rocket?"
Cain stared fixedly at Giovanni's face for a long time. Upon discovering that there was no trace of feigning, he more or less confirmed that this was not a move by Giovanni.
If Giovanni had truly done it, with his current character, he probably would not conceal his own actions.
Cain slowly shook his head.
"I am not too certain, but it must be very close to the truth. However, Team Heaven has not been idle either. We can just take the opportunity to clean out all those parasites. After all, whether for the League or for Team Heaven, there are only benefits and no harm."
In Cain's eyes, there was killing intent. The parasites he spoke of were precisely those family forces that acted like leeches.
"Control the measure well on your own. After this meeting ends, next time you will not need to come personally. Participate by image, just like them, to prevent someone from finding evidence against you," Giovanni said while patting Cain on the shoulder.
Cain nodded. After thinking for a moment, he still said, "Boss, I suggest that you look for an opportunity to purge the inside of Team Rocket, including those high-ranking executives as well."
Hearing Cain say this, Giovanni was also stunned for an instant. Then, a cold killing intent burst from his eyes.
"Is that so? Understood!"
Cain said no more. Nor did he directly point out who it was in this matter, but he estimated that Giovanni should understand what he meant.
Besides the infiltrators of the Sacred Church, inside Team Rocket there were also quite a few infiltrators from other forces. Even among the high-ranking executives, there were at least one or two such people.
This was something that the current Giovanni would never allow.
Reminding him up to this point was already enough. Cain chose to leave directly. Before departing, his last gaze still remained for a while on the armored Mewtwo.
...
He silently returned to the Hoenn region. With Cain's current psychic power, a few hours were enough.
Team Rocket's plan had already been put into motion, and Team Heaven, as a participant, could not fall behind either.
Cain believed that it would not be long before this alliance could officially change its name to Team Rainbow Rocket. At that time would truly be when they directly confronted the League.
Now it was only the prelude.
But even so, the entire League began to act.
Cain returned to the headquarters of the Hoenn League. He had not been sitting in his position for even half an hour when Juan appeared before him.
He informed him that there was a meeting.
