Chapter 592 - 591: Preparing to Go Deeper
After climbing the mountain, Cain returned Tropius to its Pokéball.
From that elevated position, he could fully see the Tree of Life at the center of Mythical Island.
Observing from there, Cain could estimate how far he was from the Tree of Life.
He was sure that most of the Team Rocket members who had arrived on the island were targeting the central area, specifically the ruins beneath the Tree of Life.
The contents of those ruins were what Team Rocket most desired to obtain on this expedition.
Always staying one step ahead, Cain had a hunch that there might be Mew DNA in that place, though he didn't yet know if this group would find it or if it would be discovered by another group arriving on the island later.
Once this Team Rocket mission was over, the organization would likely enter a dormant phase, during which most of its resources would be devoted to studying Mew's DNA—a project that would last several years.
After that, the Pokémon League would begin its expansion phase, taking control of multiple regions. From then on, the League's position would become unshakable.
However, due to this situation, Team Rocket would lose its best opportunity.
Of course, Giovanni's decision could not be considered wrong. If he succeeded in controlling a god-level Legendary Pokémon, combined with his leadership skills and combat talent, Giovanni would undoubtedly become the strongest man in this world, without exception.
For now, Cain did not have the ability to interfere in Team Rocket's plans.
