Chapter 157 - 157: Surprise Attack by the Alliance
Upon hearing the explanation from the middle-aged man, Cain felt a slight unease in his heart.
A participant from the previous trial? Now he had already reached the rank of Captain, which meant that after leaving the Test Island, he had likely been promoted directly to that level.
Team Rocket's Test Island program lasts three months, but there's not always a trial mission every three months. The interval between each test varies, but it generally doesn't exceed half a year.
Not everyone has the prior experience that Cain, who has been reborn, possesses. Therefore, this man named Milan, who has managed to become a Captain in around six months, must have exceptional talent and strength.
Milan stood aside without saying a word. Those who leave Test Island aren't like students graduating from school, where seniors look after newcomers. Survivors from Test Island are usually extremely selfish and only care about things that benefit them.
The middle-aged man didn't provide further explanations. He only mentioned Milan because he worked under his command.
He took out a small black box, palm-sized, and handed it to Cain, saying, "This is what Mr. Umbra needs. I've prepared it for a long time. Now I'm giving it to you, and it's your responsibility to ensure it reaches him safely."
As he said this, the man's gaze turned severe. Although he usually appeared as a smiling and harmless person, no one achieves the rank of Senior Officer in Team Rocket without accumulating dozens or even hundreds of lives.
Cain took the box seriously and stored it in his ring.
He had no right to ask what was inside. His task was simply to deliver it to Umbra.
In the Pokémon world, although teleportation methods are highly developed, some items cannot be transmitted due to their high energy content or other reasons.
