Chapter 391 - 390: Three Objectives
The next day, after spending a night at Steven's mansion, Cain got into his new car and left Rustboro City.
However, before leaving Saffron City, he had sent Alec and Skye to Leafy Town to investigate the situation.
Alec had lived in the Hoenn region for a while, so he was quite familiar with local customs.
Additionally, Alec's uncle owned property in Leafy Town, which meant entering the area unannounced wouldn't raise unnecessary suspicion.
The purpose of his subordinates was to help Cain handle those tasks that, while necessary, were tedious and didn't offer any tangible benefits.
After briefly observing Rustboro City, Cain learned about the situation of the underground forces in the Hoenn region.
Since there wasn't a single power capable of commanding respect across the entire region, no one obeyed anyone, and every group was vying to become the strongest.
It was utter chaos.
He hoped that a small town like Leafy Town would be somewhat better; otherwise, there would be too many issues to resolve.
The car was new and high-value, so it traveled at high speed.
In the world of Pokémon, such vehicles weren't very popular, so it was rare to encounter another car on the road.
