"That's right. Indeed, I am the deputy leader of Team Rocket and the leader of Team Heaven. And not only that! In the Kalos region, I am also the deputy leader of Team Flare."
"And I'm afraid there is another thing that will surprise you: the bishop of your Sacred Church, Kael, and I are old acquaintances. Put that way, are you satisfied?"
Cain opened his mouth and said all of that.
"What do you mean?" Irene spoke for the first time, and her voice still sounded just as clear.
Cain shrugged.
"Wasn't this exactly what you wanted to hear? The hidden camera behind you, wasn't it precisely there to record me? Now I have said everything you wanted to hear and let you record it. With this, it should be considered that I have satisfied your final wish, shouldn't it?"
"You knew from the beginning?!" Irene frowned her white eyebrows, and small wrinkles appeared over her delicate nose.
"I didn't know from the beginning either. It's just that, the more we talked today, the stranger everything became, so I more or less discovered some anomalies."
"I was wondering why you people, who don't fear death that much, although you expelled Steven and the others, actually only wanted to make me feel that there was no one here, so it would be easier to draw words out of me."
"The idea isn't bad. Draw out my words and then play them again and again on television or on the internet. When the time came, even my identity as Champion would be brought down by you, right?"
Cain looked at Irene and Will.
It had to be admitted that these two still had some brains. If he had not observed carefully, he would not have discovered the anomalies in both of them either, nor would he have noticed the camera hidden behind them.
But this was a closed alternate space. That camera could not send information directly to the Pokémon world. Only when an exit was opened in this alternate space could the information be transmitted. Because of that, Cain, in reality, was not worried.
"It doesn't matter. We only need to take that fragment you just said, edit it a little, and it will be enough. When the time comes, no matter how high your status is, we will also drag you down!" Will waved his hand, indicating that it did not matter at all.
Irene also nodded from the side and said nothing more.
Indeed, by merely sending this information, Cain could be completely ruined.
"You, go immediately process this information. Then go to the television station of the Hoenn region and play it. I want people to know that Champion Cain, whom they worship in their eyes, is actually the greatest villain of the Hoenn region!"
Will ordered the people at the back who were secretly holding the camera.
"Yes!"
Those people immediately answered.
After losing the bishop of the Sacred Church as their greatest direction, they could only act by following Will and Irene's orders.
At least, with them present, they would not be completely without direction or objective.
Now, bringing Cain down was their main task.
As those people answered, that special sealed alternate space opened a crack.
"Hey, don't you think you're ignoring the protagonist too much? After all, without my help, you wouldn't have been able to record anything either. Now you want to leave without even saying goodbye to me. Aren't you looking down on me a little?"
Cain rubbed his right wrist.
"TYRRAANN!!"
Tyranitar, who was standing beside Cain, immediately roared, imposing sufficient intimidation.
At the same time, his aura caused an enormous impact on the members of the Sacred Church around them.
Will's expression changed, and he shouted in a low voice, "Quick!"
Hearing this, those people wanted to leave the alternate space, but before they could move, the spatial crack that allowed several people to pass through slowly closed.
Thanks to the fact that they reacted quickly and stopped, otherwise that spatial crack, while closing, would have cut them directly at the waist.
"How is that possible? Wasn't your psychic power supposed to be suppressed?" Will opened his eyes wide, with an expression of disbelief.
Cain shrugged.
"Who told you that I control alternate spaces through psychic power? Although I have always used psychic power to perform Teleport, I have never used that to open alternate spaces. I have a much better method."
He showed his right hand, although they could not see the Unown mark beneath the wrist guard.
"So now this place is already a space that belongs to me. You people of the Sacred Church always make the same mistake."
"Oh, I forgot. The previous ones are already dead."
Cain exaggeratedly patted his head, with an expression of "I'm very sorry."
"You!"
Will immediately became speechless.
If it really was as Cain said, and this space was under his control, then the members of the Sacred Church inside it were probably in danger.
Because Cain could bring Steven and the others in at any time.
After spending so much effort carefully designing this plan and this trap, Cain had overturned it so easily.
But after waiting for a moment, Will still did not see Cain bring Steven and the others in. Cain only looked at him with a smile that seemed to be and not be, making him feel a chill.
"What do you want to do?" Will could not hold back.
"I heard that, to deal with me, you even specially searched for a treasure. To be honest, I have quite a bit of interest in that thing. Surprisingly, it can make your psychic power transform into this form."
Cain looked at the special energy in their hands.
It had part of the characteristics of psychic power, but its own attribute had transformed into a mixture of Dark type and Ghost type.
"Do you think that with this, you can already completely devour us?"
Cain cleaned his ear with his finger.
"I don't know whether others can devour me or not, but you, I have completely secured. Just for all the things you did in the Hoenn League."
"Hmph!"
Four Poké Balls appeared in Will's hand. Looking at the Pokémon beside Cain, his expression was somewhat ugly.
The aura of Tyranitar and the others truly made them feel intense pressure.
