Chapter 444 - 443: Team Rocket Base in Viridian City
At midnight, Cain and old Matsuda arrived in the skies above Saffron City.
Old Matsuda dropped Cain off in Saffron City and immediately left on his Aerodactyl. He explained that he had already lost a day of work on his experiments by helping Cain and needed to return to continue the next day.
Resigned, Cain returned to the city alone. But shortly after entering, a very discreet communicator he carried began to buzz.
Feeling the vibration, Cain's expression changed. He stopped moving slowly and quickly slipped into the dark alleys of the city.
He called on his Slowking to ensure no one was nearby, then carefully pulled out the communicator he had stashed away.
There was no number displayed, but Cain knew only one person could contact him through that device: Umbra.
This was the exclusive communicator Umbra had given Cain.
He answered, and a voice came through from the other side: "Cain, where are you now? Are you still in Saffron City?"
Cain respectfully replied: "Mr. Umbra, I am currently in Saffron City."
There was a brief silence on the line before Umbra spoke again: "Understood." And the call ended.
Before Cain could lower the communicator, the space around him began to distort. In the blink of an eye, two people appeared before him: Umbra and Sabrina, the Gym Leader of Saffron City and a powerful psychic.
