Chapter 214: Pokemon: I Transmigrated Twice [214]
With Sird's deliberate guidance, rumors spread rapidly within Team Rocket that the Boss was suffering from a grave illness and seeking an urgent successor.
Although Sird also mentioned that the King had gone out to find Ho-Oh, Xerneas, and other healing-type legendary Pokémon to help cure the Boss, finding such top-tier legends was easier said than done. What if the Boss died before the King succeeded? For a time, everyone in Team Rocket was filled with anxiety.
Blaine and Fuji, both planning to withdraw completely from Team Rocket after completing the Mewtwo Project, were stunned when they heard the news.
The two old men met in their shared hometown, Cinnabar Island, and couldn't help but discuss the matter.
Fuji: "Do you think it's true?"
Blaine pondered for a while and replied, "True or not, at the very least, it's certain that Giovanni has a son."
Fuji hesitated, then said, "To be honest, if it's true, isn't now the best time to eliminate Team Rocket?"
"Hey! What are you saying?" Blaine's expression changed drastically.
"Isn't it?" Fuji said, "Finding legendary Pokémon is extremely difficult. Back then, Team Rocket went to great lengths and only managed to find a fossilized eyelash with Mew's DNA. If Giovanni can't hold out until Joker brings back Ho-Oh or Lugia, and the League strikes now, with Dr. Stephen's help, Team Rocket might be finished..."
"Enough. We have nothing to do with Team Rocket anymore, and I won't tell anyone what you just said," Blaine said.
He knew his old friend was even more disgusted by Team Rocket's actions than himself, hence such thoughts. If Giovanni was truly terminally ill, and the League seized the opportunity with Dr. Stephen delivering the final blow, Team Rocket really might become history.
