Chapter 1187 - Chapter 1440 - Playing Both Sides and the Rainbow Alliance

After Aoki took office, the first'S'-level incident he handled was something he himself stirred up.

This allowed Phoebe, who was temporarily serving as the Chief Investigator, to secure a position among the Elite Four in one fell swoop.

The Ghost-type Elite Four Member of the Hoenn Region, Phoebe!

From then on, Steven and Phoebe became Aoki's right-hand men, helping him handle many urgent tasks.

It proved that a higher rank could indeed crush people; most of the 'B'-level and 'A'-level combat tasks that needed handling were assigned to them by Aoki.

Steven had already chosen to compromise; ever since he joined the Investigation Department, he had been under Aoki's control.

Whether to shape him into a round or flat form was entirely up to Aoki's whim.

Basically, any difficult tasks were assigned to him to handle.

However, it also proved that without experiencing hardships, one wouldn't know how capable they truly were; Aoki forcibly brought out Steven's abilities.

It was precisely because of the help from people like them that Aoki could confidently implement this ranking system.

After two weeks of perfect implementation, Steven and the others gradually accepted this model as the norm.

In truth, neither he nor Phoebe were particularly busy; it was just that whenever they needed to take action, it involved troublesome matters that couldn't be resolved in a day or two. Aside from that, there were no issues.

And it proved that after implementing this incident classification system, everyone's efficiency in handling matters skyrocketed.

The backlog of tasks was completely cleared within two weeks.

Everyone was utilized efficiently, eliminating situations where two people were overwhelmed with unfinished work while the other two were idle and just wanted to sleep.

Basically, everyone had tasks to do, but none were too complex, ensuring they had some free time for personal matters after completing their work.

Whether it was training Pokémon, challenging opponents, spending time with family, or even with a girlfriend.

A month had passed since Aoki took over the Champion position, and the entire staff of the Hoenn League looked completely different. No one complained about tasks being too tedious anymore, nor did anyone lament their outstanding talent being stifled by a lack of upward mobility.

Because in the classification of incidents, Aoki also confirmed the promotion system for positions and what level of incident a promotion belonged to.

Doing this actually touched on the fundamental interests of the various families, large and small, in the Hoenn Region, causing some unrest for a period.

But Aoki's solution was simple: allow members from some families with outstanding strength or potential to classify incidents one level higher than their current position when determining incident levels.

In other words, someone who could originally only classify up to a 'C'-level incident, if they were sufficiently outstanding, was allowed to classify 'B'-level incidents.

Don't underestimate this mere one-level increase; it represents a rise in the hierarchy of power.

But in reality, who had such power was still up to Aoki. After reviewing and assessing some individuals, he granted it to those who were truly outstanding among the family members, not those just coasting along.

The heads of those various families were initially quite pleased, but later they slowly began to realize the true meaning.

Wasn't this just stripping away the power that originally belonged to them, then only allowing those with outstanding strength and potential to wield such power?

In the end, weren't these families still the ones losing out?

It was just that initially, they didn't see it clearly, being dazzled by Aoki's combination of stick and carrot.

Families with real strength didn't care about these things, such as the Zinnia Family where Steven belonged.

Every member of the Zinnia Family who worked in the League was a top-notch expert, not hindering the League's development but rather acting as a catalyst for its progress.

It was those small to medium-sized families with not-so-strong strength but particularly cunning minds that suffered the most losses.

From this, more or less, some people began to see Aoki's intention to take action against the families in the Hoenn Region.

In the future, the Hoenn League would no longer be a place for useless members of families to coast along. Want to climb to high positions? Want greater power?

Fine, show your talent, regardless of whether your background is from a family or an ordinary household.

For Trainers born from ordinary backgrounds, this was their gospel, because the previously blocked promotion doors were now opened, and they could see hope again!

In just one month, due to Aoki's intervention, the entire Hoenn League underwent significant changes.

But anyone still working in the Hoenn League couldn't help but show sincere admiration when mentioning Aoki.

Even in just one month, their work attitudes and appearances were completely different from a month ago—a sense of vitality, a renewed look!

As the League President, Adams naturally saw all these changes. Initially, he worried that Aoki, just after taking office, would cause backlash from the various families by taking such drastic actions.

But after waiting a month, not only did no backlash occur, but the 'chronic ailments' of the Hoenn Region actually showed signs of gradual improvement under Aoki's careful handling.

As someone who once held both the positions of League President and League Champion, could Adams not see what was wrong with the Hoenn League?

It was just due to constraints from multiple sides that he couldn't act like Aoki.

But Aoki had no such reservations because he had a more powerful weapon than Adams.

Team Sky!

That's right, while Aoki took action against those families, he covertly used Team Sky.

When a person reaches the peak of power both openly and secretly, there is nothing they cannot solve.

Every day, Aoki sent Brad and Catherine a list of families opposing him.

Completely wiping out these families was impossible; after all, they were a force within the Hoenn League, and thus a force in Aoki's hands.

But making them less troublesome was no problem.

Not bored enough to enjoy causing trouble everywhere?

Team Sky dispatched a few squads to stir up trouble at these families' businesses, keeping them too distracted to focus on Aoki's decrees. By the time they recovered, it was already a done deal, and no opposition mattered.

Want to secretly trip them up?

Who could match Aoki in secretly tripping them up?

Just ask, are you afraid of Team Sky?

Afraid?

Good, if you're afraid of Team Sky, then firmly cling to Aoki's thigh. Dare to say one word of refusal, and do you believe Aoki would let go?

Guarantee that the next day, Team Sky would launch a full-scale invasion!

However, there really were some families pushed to the brink wanting to join Team Sky.

For these families, Aoki was of course happy to see it. Whether it was the Hoenn League or Team Sky, weren't they both forces under Aoki?

If in the League, Aoki couldn't easily use overly radical means against them, needing to maintain his face as Champion.

But in Team Sky, it was different.

What were Team Sky's rules?

Team Sky's rules were whatever Aoki said. Swallowing a small to medium-sized family whole, taking their resources and wealth into his own hands—what waves could those family members still make then?

There were still some families that were more rational, choosing to wait and see.

When they realized that joining Team Sky was worse than clinging to Aoki's thigh, they just obediently clung to Aoki's thigh.

So, what Adams worried about didn't happen. Although he was somewhat surprised, once he confirmed it hadn't happened, he decisively applied Aoki's incident classification system to the Hoenn League's administrative affairs.

Once he learned this, it was incredible!

Adams felt that the first half of his life had been wasted, how tough it was.

If he could have handled these messy matters of the Hoenn League like this earlier, he would only need to work two hours a day, or even less—even four hours a day would be satisfying.

This was what life should be!

In the past, whenever he buried himself in work, Lance would be drinking tea beside him, making him so angry his blood pressure rose.

But now, after implementing Aoki's policies, he could have afternoon tea with Lance!

This kind of life... In fact, the policies Aoki implemented after taking office in the Hoenn Region gained fame throughout the entire League. Many people from other regions also wanted to implement this ranking management system, though they needed to learn some details from the Hoenn Region.

These were the major changes that occurred in the Hoenn Region in the month since Aoki became Champion.

In short, everything was developing in a better direction, without the issues Adams and Lance worried about... Pallet Town, Kanto Region.

Giovanni, wearing a black suit, stood up from his desk with a confident, even arrogant smile. 'Let's go. Today is a moment that can change history!'

Hearing Giovanni's words, Aoki, who had been resting with his eyes closed on the sofa, also stood up and nodded, his eyes inadvertently glancing at the Armored Mewtwo standing like a guard behind Giovanni.

Two months had passed without seeing each other. Although Mewtwo's strength hadn't improved as much as in the first month, its growth over these two months had already pushed its strength to the limit.

There was still room for improvement, but this required Mewtwo to possess self-awareness, to break free from the constraints of the mind armor. But was that possible?

Not possible in the short term!

Standing up, this time Aoki was attending the meeting as the vice leader of Team Rocket, not as the leader of Team Sky.

Regarding Aoki's choice, Giovanni had no objections.

Regardless of what identity he attended with, he would inevitably follow the lead of Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket.

In a special dark conference room, several chairs were placed. Counting carefully, one would find seven chairs, exactly matching the number of rainbow colors.

No table, just seven solitary chairs.

After Giovanni and Aoki entered this sealed room, holographic images of individuals appeared one by one, sitting on the chairs in silence, just watching Giovanni and Aoki enter from outside. Their eyes varied, and each had their own thoughts and plans.

Giovanni didn't stand on ceremony, striding to his chair and sitting down directly. Aoki also silently took his seat. He wasn't wearing a black robe, but his face was shrouded in Psychic energy.

In this world, among all Psychic users, Aoki was confident that no one could forcibly see through his Psychic disguise.

Some might have stronger Psychic abilities than him, but absolutely no one was strong enough to see through his disguise!

'First, let me welcome everyone for taking the time to attend our meeting. Given your abilities, you must have more or less learned about the true content of this meeting, right?' At some point, a Persian appeared beside Giovanni. He smiled, stroking the Persian's smooth fur as he spoke.

This was a holographic image, so everyone could clearly see what Giovanni was doing and his expression.

Of course, both Giovanni and Aoki could also clearly see everyone present.

The first to appear in Aoki's sight was Brad, representing Team Sky of the Hoenn Region.

This time, Aoki was attending as the vice leader of Team Rocket, so Brad attended the meeting on behalf of Aoki for Team Sky. After all, aside from Giovanni, Aoki, and Brad, no one else present knew who the true leader of Team Sky was.

This was also thanks to Aoki always being a hands-off leader, leaving Team Sky to his subordinates to manage.

Under such circumstances, Team Sky could still have such a scale. It must be said that those Team Sky managers entrusted by Aoki, though their strength might be somewhat lacking, their management skills were unquestionable.

Then, looking past Brad's position, there was the leader of Team Galactic from the Sinnoh region, with blue hair, a cold expression, and wearing very efficient clothing.

Cyrus, leader of Team Galactic!

On the other side of Cyrus was the leader of Team Plasma from the Unova region, or rather, the king of Team Plasma, with emerald green hair and a baseball cap covering it, a faint smile on his face, looking very handsome and young, at most only a little older than Aoki.

N, the king of Team Plasma!

Regarding Team Plasma, Aoki had some understanding, because Team Plasma was also a very peculiar organization. Their nominal leader was N, known as the king, but N could not be considered a qualified leader of an underground force, because his love for Pokémon was completely unlike what a leader of an underground force should possess.

In Aoki's view, the true power holder of Team Plasma should be N's adoptive father, Ghetsis, one of the seven sages of Team Plasma.

Team Plasma was an organization jointly managed by the king and the seven sages, and this Ghetsis was the mastermind behind the scenes. He only valued N's talent and strength, wanting to use N to achieve his own goals, but now N was clearly unaware of this, still immersed in the title of king of Team Plasma.

Sensing Aoki's gaze, N looked toward Aoki with a hint of confusion and curiosity.

Noticing N's line of sight, Aoki directly looked past him to Ghetsis further back, with orange-yellow hair like flames or a lion.

This was also someone Aoki was familiar with, so Aoki's gaze did not linger on Ghetsis for too long, subtly shifting to the yellow-haired Lusamine beside him, the chairman of the Aether Foundation, the one betrayed by the Psychic user Lance.

After looking around this circle, Aoki suddenly understood why Giovanni would later choose the name Rainbow Rocket Team.

Because if Aoki hadn't intervened, he and Brad should have been replaced by Maxie of Team Magma and Archie of Team Aqua, one red and one deep blue.

Plus the orange Ghetsis, yellow Lusamine, emerald green N/Ghetsis, light blue Cyrus—except for the lack of purple, didn't this just complete the seven colors of the rainbow?

It really was... an extremely fitting name!

"Leader Giovanni, I wonder who this person beside me is? I don't seem to have seen him before. Could you introduce him to us?" The first to speak was Lusamine.

She looked at the person sitting on her other side, the only one in the room concealing their identity, not just Lusamine was curious.

Hearing this, Giovanni laughed heartily and said, "This is the vice leader of our Team Rocket! Don't underestimate him just because he's only a vice leader; he's a super powerhouse comparable to a Champion!"

Hearing Giovanni's explanation, most of the people present changed their expressions.

Comparable to a Champion?!

This was not an adjective anyone could match!

A Champion represents the strongest combat power of a region! To be more specific, they are likely the strongest person in that region!

Although everyone present was the leader of an underground or surface force from various regions, no one dared say they could compare to a Champion!

If they could truly compare to a Champion, they wouldn't need to be so cautious; they could have already brought their forces to the surface.

It was precisely because they couldn't directly face the highest combat power of the regional League that they had to choose to stay in the shadows, secretly threatening the League, making them unwilling to expend great effort to eliminate them!

The reason Giovanni could so decisively say Aoki was comparable to a Champion was simply because Aoki didn't need to compare—he was the Champion!

But in the eyes of Lusamine and others who didn't know Aoki, this was just Giovanni exaggerating.

They didn't know that Giovanni was capable of doing anything, except lying.

But even if this vice leader wasn't as strong as a Champion, at least he could hold his own for a while, which was enough, because most of them didn't have such strength.

If it were an Elite Four member, that would be manageable; each of them could hold their own, but if it were a Champion, then no.

Lusamine, who originally wanted to cause trouble for Aoki, was momentarily speechless upon hearing Giovanni praise Aoki so highly.

She knew what this group of people sitting here represented.

To a large extent, the future action plans for the underground forces of the seven major regions in the Pokémon World would likely be decided here, and each position represented a vote!

Here, any single vote could determine the direction of the entire world's development, making everyone take it seriously.

N, however, looked thoughtfully at Aoki, his undisguised desire for battle palpable to everyone present.

"So, Leader Giovanni, you hope your Team Rocket's vice leader also has a seat here, is that it?" The one who spoke was Cyrus, his voice clear and cold, devoid of any emotion.

Although he was also slightly shocked by Giovanni's claim of being comparable to a Champion, he still had to try to fight for it.

When all seven of them sat here, it meant the game among them had already begun.

Cyrus acknowledged that Giovanni was very strong and worthy of respect, and Team Rocket was the strongest among all forces present, but now was not the time to fear, at least someone would definitely stand on the same side as him.

Hearing Cyrus's words, Giovanni subtly glanced at him, "Oh? So, Leader Cyrus, do you think my words lack credibility? Or do you think my Team Rocket's vice leader is unworthy of a seat here?"

"If Leader Giovanni puts it that way, then I have nothing to say." Cyrus shrugged, saying this verbally, but his expression showed no change.

Lusamine didn't speak but nodded in agreement from the side.

If Giovanni insisted on adding a seat based on his strength and Team Rocket's power, they had nothing to say, but then it would be hard to say how many people would be convinced in the future.

After all, the cooperation had just begun.

"In that case, why not decide by voting?" Aoki's low voice rang out directly; he also understood the reason Lusamine and Cyrus were targeting him.

But in fact, these two hadn't realized from the start that since this alliance was successfully formed, most of the say had already fallen into Giovanni's hands.

No matter how they opposed, from the moment they started discussing this matter, the outcome was set.

"That's best!" Lusamine nodded, indicating agreement.

Cyrus also nodded; this was indeed "fair."

"Then, starting with me, the leader of Team Rocket, I naturally agree." Seeing Aoki so confident, Giovanni didn't say more, stating his position.

"Agree!" The second to speak was Brad, attending as the leader of Team Sky. Giovanni was not surprised by his agreement.

"Seconded!" The third to speak was Ghetsis, crossing his arms, a slight smile on his face, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

He already knew all about Aoki's identity, so there was no possibility of opposition.

Lusamine looked at Ghetsis in surprise, not knowing why he chose to agree.

The last person to speak was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Agree!" N said calmly, holding great interest in Aoki.

At this point, how Lusamine and Cyrus chose was meaningless; aside from Aoki, four people had already agreed, and the two of them couldn't stir up much trouble.

Moreover, both Cyrus and Lusamine had witnessed Giovanni's true strength, knowing Giovanni was likely the strongest person in the room!

Even a Champion might not necessarily be as strong as Giovanni now.

Plus a vice leader comparable to a Champion, everyone saw Team Rocket's strength and depth.

Truly the most established underground force present, truly the only underground force occupying two regions, indeed impressive.

Thus, everyone accepted Aoki's presence.

It essentially meant Giovanni had two votes. Considering Giovanni's strength and Team Rocket's power, it wasn't so hard to accept.

Giovanni, however, was somewhat surprised that Aoki could secure Team Flare's support.

He had sent Aoki to persuade Team Flare, not only achieving satisfactory results but also making Team Flare stand firmly by their side.

As for N of Team Plasma, Giovanni only needed one glance to roughly understand N's personality.

Honestly, in Giovanni's view, N's personality wasn't suitable for being the leader of an underground force. When he went to the Unova region, there were one or two among the seven sages of Team Plasma with very deep schemes, likely the ones truly controlling Team Plasma, with N just their puppet.

Compared to N, strong as he was, Giovanni valued Cyrus, leader of Team Galactic, more. Among those present, only he was most like himself.

An almost emotionless, cold person, with only profit and purpose in his eyes, a very pure and typical pragmatist.

Lusamine, after her proposal targeting Aoki was opposed by everyone, looked somewhat resentful, though not very obvious, but no one present was ordinary.

Cyrus, however, stood on the same side as Lusamine, but after the proposal was rejected, showed no change in expression, as if without emotion.

Throughout the meeting, aside from the beginning, Aoki didn't speak, just silently observing everyone present.

It could be seen that the people here still respected Giovanni.

All were major figures from their regions. Aside from Brad of Team Sky and Ghetsis of Team Flare, who, due to Aoki's prior instructions, didn't oppose Giovanni's proposals, the others also didn't oppose much.

Even Lusamine of the Aether Foundation, when looking at Giovanni, had a hint of fear in her eyes. When she chose to cooperate with Lance, she hadn't felt fear, indicating Mewtwo's deterrence was indeed sufficient now.

Aoki noticed how many times everyone present, intentionally or unintentionally, glanced at Mewtwo.

Lusamine five times, Cyrus three times, N... eleven times!

When Giovanni "persuaded" them, he must have displayed Mewtwo's strength, probably causing them great psychological trauma, making them doubt the Pokémon they originally pursued.

Team Galactic pursued Dialga and Palkia, controlling time and space; Team Plasma pursued Zekrom and Reshiram, representing ideals and reality!

Watching their images fade one by one, only Aoki and Giovanni, the leader and vice leader of Team Rocket, remained in the conference room.

Giovanni looked at Aoki, who hadn't spoken a second word from start to finish, and with a smile curling at the corner of his mouth, asked, "Well? Anything you want to say?"

Upon hearing this, Aoki nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said, "N from Team Plasma doesn't look like what the leader of an underground organization should be."

Giovanni's smile widened even more. "Indeed, when I went to the Unova region to find Team Plasma, I could tell. Although N is the strongest in Team Plasma, the core of power actually lies in seven people called the seven sages—seven old men with extremely deep schemes."

From Giovanni's words, one could hear that he harbored considerable wariness toward these seven old men.

"And then there's Cyrus from Team Galactic. His excessive calmness indicates he has his own calculations in mind, or rather, his own unique goals."

"Who among us here doesn't have their own goals in mind? Even you, the vice leader of Team Rocket and leader of Team Sky, also have your own calculations, don't you?"

"As long as we know what he needs or pursues, I can control him. He's nothing to worry about." Giovanni waved his hand, appearing very confident.

Hearing Giovanni say this, Aoki didn't say anything more.

"Hmm? What? Are you only commenting on Cyrus and N? What about Lusamine from the Aether Foundation and Ghetsis from Team Flare? Compared to Cyrus and the others, you should be relatively more familiar with these two, right?" Giovanni asked again.

"I'm quite familiar with Ghetsis from Team Flare, so I won't explain too much. I can only say that while this person has strength, it's not particularly strong. His greater talent lies in Pokémon research or other areas of study. He could have become someone comparable to a Pokémon Professor."

"Of course, his management skills are also quite outstanding."

After finishing his evaluation of Ghetsis, Aoki paused slightly. "Lusamine, the chairman of the Aether Foundation, has considerable ambition, but... her thinking is extreme. She's not an ideal leader; instead, she's very suitable to be a canary."

He didn't hold back in belittling Lusamine, not because she targeted him today, but purely because it was his most rational view.

"Hahahaha—" After hearing Aoki's words, Giovanni laughed heartily, not offering much commentary.

Changing the subject, "So, what do you plan to do about the Hoenn Region now? According to our plan, Team Sky needs to take action against the Hoenn League. I just don't know how you, as both the leader of Team Sky and the Champion of the Hoenn League, plan to handle this? Directing and acting in your own play?"

As the leader of Team Sky and also the Champion of the Hoenn League, no rumors in the Hoenn Region, whether overt or covert, could escape Aoki's intelligence.

Upon hearing this, Aoki narrowed his eyes slightly. "I can sense that Adams and the others probably know something, more or less. Although they haven't shown it, I feel it."

"Oh?" Giovanni sat up straight, his expression turning slightly serious. "Do those old men in the Hoenn League know about your Team Rocket identity?"

Aoki stared at Giovanni's face for a long time, finding no pretense, and pretty much determined this wasn't Giovanni's doing.

If it really were Giovanni's doing, given his current personality, he probably wouldn't hide his actions.

Slowly shaking his head, "Not entirely sure, but it's almost certain."

"However, Team Sky isn't idle either. It's a good opportunity to clean out all those parasites. After all, it's only beneficial, not harmful, whether for the League or Team Sky."

With a stern look in his eyes, the parasites Aoki referred to were those family forces that acted like bloodsuckers.

"You control the measure yourself. After this meeting ends, you don't need to come in person next time. Just participate via image like the others, to avoid leaving any handles." As he spoke, Giovanni patted Aoki on the shoulder.

Aoki nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "Leader, I suggest you find an opportunity to purge Team Rocket's internal, including those highest-ranking Executives."

Hearing Aoki say this, Giovanni was also taken aback, then a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes. "Is that so? I understand!"

Aoki didn't say more, nor did he directly point out who it was in this matter, but he estimate Giovanni should understand his meaning.

Apart from spies from the Theocracy, there are also many spies from other forces within Team Rocket. Even among the highest-ranking Executives, there are at least one or two such people.

This is something the current Giovanni would absolutely not allow.

Having reminded him this far was enough. Aoki directly chose to leave. Before leaving, his final gaze lingered on the Armored Mewtwo for a while... Silently returning to the Hoenn Region, with Aoki's current Psychic abilities, a few hours were sufficient.

Team Rocket's plan has been put on the agenda, and as a participant, Team Sky same cannot fall behind.

Believe it won't be long before their Such an alliance can officially be renamed the Rainbow Rocket Team. That's when it will be time to confront the League head-on.

For now, it's just the prelude.

But even so, the entire League has sprung into action.

Aoki returned to the Hoenn League Headquarters and had barely sat in his seat for half an hour before Adams came to him.

Notifying him of a meeting.

"..."

This time was truly typical—barely warming the seat before having to attend another meeting.

But this meeting was different. Aoki was representing the Champion of the Hoenn League to attend the entire League meeting. This was also Aoki's first time attending such a meeting.

So... he couldn't be late.

Following Adams to the innermost special conference room in the Hoenn League.

All regional Leagues have such a conference room, and the Arrangement is exactly the same, to match the conference room at the League Headquarters.

As the Imager turned on, the images of Aoki and Adams were projected into the office at the League Headquarters on Mt. Silver.

Although Aoki and Adams rushed desperately, they Obviously weren't the first to arrive.

"Hey, Adams and Aoki, you two are quite fast." The Elder looked at the first two to appear and greeted them with a smile.

"Elder." Aoki and Adams called out simultaneously.

When Adams was still young, the Elder looked just like this. Decades had passed, and there was still no change.

The Elder smiled and nodded. "Aoki, congratulations on finally becoming Champion. The event Hierarchical system you're implementing in the Hoenn Region is causing quite a stir throughout the entire League. Many people want to learn from you."

"Indeed... for the League to develop further, it still needs young talents like you. You have ideas, dare to act, and dare to take responsibility!"

He Undisguised his praise for Aoki.

Although the Elder knew Aoki's identity, even so, he Undisguised his appreciation and admiration for Aoki, just as he Undisguised his admiration for Giovanni when he knew there were issues with Giovanni's identity.

In the Elder's eyes, there actually isn't much talk of opposing identities. Although he is the President of the Pokémon League, he actually doesn't have much prejudice against others.

Perhaps because he is influenced by Arceus.

From Arceus's perspective, he doesn't have a clear position either. It's not that he must support the Pokémon League, but because having the Pokémon League manage things allows the entire Pokémon World to develop better.

And the better the Pokémon World develops, the more at ease Arceus is.

As someone who shares a part of Arceus's abilities, the Elder, to a certain extent, has also inherited Arceus's will.

That's why he doesn't have much prejudice against Aoki. Even Now Giovanni, he actually still doesn't have much prejudice against.

It's just that Team Rocket starting to take action will inevitably cause Deaths and suffering, which he I don't want to see. That's why he called this meeting, to have the League person in charge from each region discuss.

Because he sensed that this time Team Rocket's actions are different from the previous several times. This time, it Highly likely will be a large-scale battle Sweep the entire Pokémon World. If not handled properly, the Pokémon League There is indeed a possibility of annihilation..

Although the League's destruction, for Arceus, just means changing supporters, the Bloodshed that would occur in between estimate would set the entire Pokémon World back at least twenty years.

While Aoki and Adams were exchanging pleasantries with the Elder, images from other regions appeared one by one. They all knew about Aoki becoming Champion and One after another expressed congratulations, but how many were truly From the bottom of my heart is a matter of opinion.

Under the Elder's Host, the meeting's content didn't Unexpected Aoki's Expected.

Generally speaking, it was still about how to The problem of setting up defenses.

The League President from each region More or less also mentioned that the underground forces in their regions were being unusually quiet, faint planning something.

If one region were like this, it wouldn't be a problem, but if all regions were like this, then it clearly Explain the problem.

Like the calm before the storm, the longer the quiet now, the greater the Impact that will break out later.

After everyone After discussing it with heavy hearts this topic, the Elder Changing the subject, shifting to Aoki.

Mainly, the event Hierarchical classification system Aoki Launch the Elder saw changes in the Hoenn Region and also made him see the possibility of Save the League from decay and Accelerate Alliance Development.

Moreover, if such a Hierarchical system were implemented throughout the entire League, it undoubtedly would be far more beneficial than harmful for the entire League.

For this, Aoki Deliberately broken down into small pieces the benefits and intentions of this system, as well as handling methods for Various emergencies.

In a short time, Aoki It won the approval of more alliance presidents.

However, having attended both the meeting organized by Team Rocket to deal with the League and the meeting on how the League should Defense Team Rocket and other underground forces gave Aoki a very strange feeling.

It was like... everything was entirely within his Control.

This feeling was intoxicating.

But just as Giovanni didn't let Aoki Revealing the alliance's plans, the Elder also didn't intend to have Aoki What is the Rockets' purpose?.

The two Very tacitly Aoki Excluded their Within consideration.

When the meeting ended, the Elder gave Aoki an extremely meaningful look, It's hard to understand what he's trying to express..

But from this moment on, the battle representing the League and the predecessor of the Rainbow Rocket Team truly began. Both sides were already prepared!
