Chapter 677 - 676: Preparing to Search for Regice
It was originally quite a simple matter.
Now that Cain has demonstrated greater growth potential, and since he is a civilian without the family backing that Steven has, the League decided to appoint him as an officer.
This position would allow him to earn points and improve his skills, while the League would provide additional resources for both him and Leafy Town.
It’s worth remembering that Lance also started as a League officer.
But it was precisely this officer position that sparked disputes.
The Joy family argued that, with their supportive abilities, they could better assist Cain. Moreover, among the League officers, there is a Joy with great skill.
Although most members of the Joy family dedicate themselves to being Pokémon doctors and nurses, some pursue professions like training.
On the other hand, the Jenny family argued that their specialty is catching wrongdoers and securing resources, something they excel at more than the Joy family. Additionally, they have several members among the League officers.
A third group joining the dispute was the Stone family, who traditionally remain neutral.
The Stone family’s argument was that, since Steven is a close friend of Cain, it would be ideal for him to work under Steven’s supervision in his officer role.
In short, the three main factions nearly clashed head-on. They see great potential in Cain, and if he continues to grow as expected, it is almost certain that he will secure one of the Elite Four positions in the future.
