Chapter 1714 - 1708: The Successor of the League!

Chapter 1714: Chapter 1708: The Successor of the League!

"Ma... ster...?" Cain murmured.

That’s right. The old man walking at the front was precisely Cain’s master, whom he had seen not long ago: Matsuda Takashi, who had married the president of the Breeders’ Guild, Grandma Syl, at sunset!

That advanced breeder who, in the past, when Cain was at his weakest moment, had given him help selflessly.

Hearing Cain’s call, old Matsuda looked toward him. The helplessness on his face became even more obvious, but he said nothing.

And the old woman standing behind old Matsuda was his current wife, the Elder’s biological granddaughter: Grandma Syl!

As for the person in the white robe standing on the other side, Cain could not recognize them for a moment. He only felt that they seemed somewhat familiar.

"Heh, heh... That’s right, he is your master. Everyone should know him. He is Matsuda Takashi, who is currently responsible for managing the entire Breeders’ Guild. I discovered that his management ability is not weak. At this critical moment, transferring any regional president or Champion would have a considerable impact on that region."

"Because of that, I directly searched within the League headquarters for a person with ability."

"And the person beside him, I believe everyone knows her. She is my granddaughter, little Syl. As for the other person, he is a bodyguard I found for little Takashi. Everyone can call him Samael."

The Elder smiled as he introduced the three people to everyone.

His expression formed a very sharp contrast with those of Grandma Syl and old Matsuda.

After knowing that her grandfather was about to leave this world, how could Grandma Syl feel well?

And old Matsuda had been completely pushed into a position for which he was not prepared. Of all this, he had been the last to find out.

Cain looked at this scene and slowly sat back down in his chair.

At this moment, the Elder’s prestige within the entire League was still very high. Since he had chosen old Matsuda as his successor, none of those present said anything.

Just by seeing the people the Elder had arranged for old Matsuda, one could already understand one or two things.

With his own biological granddaughter giving old Matsuda legitimacy, all the people loyal to the Elder within the League would practically transfer their loyalty to Grandma Syl, that is, to old Matsuda. Moreover, he had arranged for a never-before-seen mysterious person as a bodyguard, exerting deterrence through strength.

Added to that, the Elder’s own Pokémon would inevitably remain behind to help old Matsuda protect the League.

He had completely paved the road for Cain’s master, old Matsuda.

Anyone who did not know the truth would think old Matsuda was the Elder’s biological grandson.

Everyone tacitly accepted this matter.

Only Cain, sitting in his place, fell into deep reflection.

At the end of the meeting, many presidents of the League from the previous generation shed tears one after another. If it were not because the Elder said he wanted to leave peacefully and alone, probably everyone present would have rushed to Mt. Silver to send him off on his final journey.

He was the elder of all of them. A person who had devoted his life to the League. He deserved everyone’s respect.

Grandma Syl was even more covered in tears.

After the meeting ended, the Elder kept Juan alone, saying he had things to explain to him. Cain, who left the meeting room, did not stop for even an instant. He directly rose into the sky.

Using his own psychic power and ignoring all the high-altitude air currents, he headed toward the Heaven Castle hidden high above the Hoenn region.

His thoughts were extremely chaotic.

The fact that the Elder had arranged for old Matsuda to assume the position of overall president of the League could be said to have made old Matsuda jump five or six levels in one go. The others would only be surprised by old Matsuda’s good luck, having, in the final years of his life, married the Elder’s biological granddaughter, Grandma Syl, who in her youth was known as the Witch Sylvia.

It seemed that it was for the sake of his granddaughter, but only Cain understood that the Elder’s purpose in doing all of this was completely because of him.

Old Matsuda sitting in the position of overall president of the League, Juan sitting in the position of president of the Hoenn League... didn’t that completely block Cain’s opportunity to advance one step further within the League?

Cain’s expression was complex. He did not know what later preparations the Elder had, but he knew the current situation was urgent. It did not give him the chance to sit down and slowly sort out his thoughts about all of this.

He felt that, invisibly, a huge net was slowly wrapping around him. He could feel that net, but he did not know how to break free from that invisible great net.

Arriving at the Heaven Castle, Cain took all his Pokémon with him. At the same time, he also called Mewtwo and left Hoenn as quickly as possible.

No matter what exactly the Pokémon League planned to do or what the Elder’s true intention was, Cain had to, in this instant, grasp in his hands the enormous force that was Team Rocket.

Regardless of whether Giovanni had truly died in battle on the spot as the Elder said, the chaos that this would cause within Team Rocket would surely be no smaller than what the League was experiencing at that moment.

At that time, more than twenty thousand people had witnessed the battle. The matter definitely could not be concealed.

Flying at full speed together with Mewtwo, Cain had a solemn expression.

When he arrived once again at Viridian City, in the Kanto region, the entire city showed great changes compared with the previous times he had come.

A murderous atmosphere permeated the air. Both inside the city and in the nearby suburbs, Team Rocket members could be seen everywhere.

However, these Team Rocket members looked at each other with hostility.

Just by seeing those ordinary Team Rocket members, one could understand what Team Rocket’s current internal situation was.
