Chapter 546 - 545: Arrival in Vermilion City
"It seems the plan to search for that Pokémon will have to be postponed for now," Cain thought as he hung up the communicator.
"That's fine. I'll give it more time to grow and experience the true essence of this world."
Sitting on the back of his Tropius, Cain changed course, heading toward Mauville City.
With only three days to reach Vermilion City in the Kanto region, the only option was to fly to Mauville City and take a plane.
Tropius would have to fly through the night, as time was pressing for Cain.
Cain pulled out another communicator and called Miyamoto, asking him to use Team Rocket's internal contacts to gather more information about the event. Although lower-ranking members couldn't participate directly, that didn't stop them from investigating.
Team Rocket couldn't maintain total secrecy, which was why they wanted to explore the island before the League discovered it and interfered.
The exploration was scheduled to begin in three days, leaving barely any time to prepare. Team Rocket members in Kanto and Johto would have it easier, but Cain, being in Hoenn, would struggle to arrive on time.
Sensing Cain's urgency, Tropius sped up its flight. Fortunately, the weather was clear, and the sunlight allowed Tropius to fly faster and with greater endurance.
Although Tropius had gained some weight lately, its flying ability was still acceptable to Cain.
When they arrived in Mauville City, it was already midnight.
