In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

"No wonder Mr. Sakaki is so eager to fight the Kanto Alliance to the death."

Bakura shook his head and sighed slowly, "In that case, Sakaki's decision is really easy to understand."

"However, we still failed. The strength of the Pokémon League is indeed too great," Sakaki said calmly, his tone tinged with regret.

"Mr. Sakaki, do you know what Etherland wants to do?"

Bakura remained noncommittal; after all, it was the world's largest power, and the Rockets' defeat was entirely unexpected.

"I can roughly guess some of it, but if I may be so bold, Mr. Bakura, if we really do it, the pressure that Ether Paradise will have to bear will probably be very heavy."

Giovanni glanced at Bakura; he could have guessed that Etherland wanted to establish the Alola League.

But if Alola really does that, it will undoubtedly be a slap in the face to the Pokémon League!

Even if Bakura is strong and has Kyurem, so what?

The Pokémon League has dominated the world for over a hundred years, and its strength and resources are beyond the imagination of outsiders.

"So, Etherland is still being meticulously prepared. Mr. Sakaki, I would like to invite you to become one of the Alola Elite Four. What do you think?"

Bakura's lips curled into a slight smile, and he suddenly spoke to Sakaki without warning.

Sakaki: ".~..."

Sakaki was completely stunned!

"Mr. Bakura, are you joking?"

Sakaki turned around in surprise and looked down at Bakura sitting on the reef, inviting him to become one of the Alola Elite Four.

He's Sakaki!

A ruthless warlord in the underworld of Kanto, an ambitious man who aspires to dominate the world, known by the Alliance as the 'Source of Evil'!

And he's only a member of the Heavenly Kings? Does Giovanni not deserve to be a champion?

"Does Mr. Sakaki think I'm joking?" Bakura asked Sakaki in return.

This was the result of his careful consideration. Now, after experiencing a terminal illness, Sakaki has gained new insights into his life.

Bakura, a man who could even set aside his ambitions, didn't see anything wrong with inviting Sakaki.

Moreover, Sakaki is not just one person; he has a large number of loyal subordinates behind him!

If they can convince Giovanni, Sabrina, and the others, they can simply say that they have also joined the Alola League!

So many Elite Four level trainers!

It would be perfect to have Sabrina and the others serve as trainers for the Alola Gym (Good Money Zhao)!

The biggest problem is simply how to persuade Sakaki.

After all, even for Giovanni, whose thoughts have gradually become more detached and refined, it wouldn't be an easy task to get him to become one of the Alola Elite Four.

But Bakura holds Giovanni's greatest weakness right now! His son, Gin!

Little Blue is still on Etherland Island. Who is Little Blue? Little Silver's most trusted older sister!

As for Giovanni's terminal illness, well... Bakura, who has a lot of legends surrounding him, says, is that even a problem?

If all else fails, let Mew summon Celebi. In the original story, Celebi was able to cure Giovanni's terminal illness, so there's no reason why it can't be done now.

If Mew can't summon Celebi, then let Ho-Oh come. Bakura still has the right to ask Ho-Oh for one last favor!

Ho-Oh can revive even the recently deceased, let alone someone with a terminal illness.

"Alolan needs a voice that can stand up, and we at Etherland are striving to achieve that goal."

Bakura slowly stood up and looked out at the distant island through the night.

Sakaki frowned slightly, staring at Bakura without saying a word, but his deep eyes flickered slightly, knowing that Bakura had not finished speaking.

"Mr. Sakaki, we've had a very pleasant working relationship over the past six months, haven't we?"

Bakura turned his gaze to Sakaki and smiled.

"The Alola League building has begun construction on the highest peak in Alola."

"The arena for the Alliance Conference has also begun construction."

"The Alola League is newly established, so I would like to formally invite you, Mr. Sakaki, to join the Alola League and become a member of the Alola League Council."

"And you'll also be one of the Alola Elite Four, Mr. Giovanni, what do you think?"

Bakura spoke slowly and deliberately, expressing his dissatisfaction, and didn't feel there was anything wrong with giving Sakaki the status of a councilor.

Aside from being the leader of the Rockets, Giovanni has always been a successful entrepreneur on the surface.

Giovanni's abilities are absolutely beyond doubt; he was able to develop Team Rocket from a small organization into a dominant force in the Kanto underworld.

This is not an easy task; competence and leadership are two completely different things.

A person with great strength but lacking in intelligence is commonly referred to as a brute! But Sakaki is an almost perfect tyrant.

"From a stinking rat that everyone hates and can only live in a dark, stinking ditch, to a member of a regional alliance who is so righteous and upright?"

Sakaki smiled faintly upon hearing this. As long as he accepted Bakura's invitation, he could get rid of his identity as a member of the Black Organization and transform himself into a top-ranking member of the Alliance Council and one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

That's quite an appealing invitation.

“Mr. Bakura, I think I have already told you that I have less than a year left to live.”

Sakaki replied calmly, his expression, tone, and emotions all remaining extremely composed.

An ordinary person might jump for joy at the prospect of receiving an invitation from Bakura.

But Giovanni showed no emotional fluctuation whatsoever. Not to mention that his original goal was to lead the Rockets to world domination, being subservient to others was never his style.

Otherwise, with his abilities, would it be difficult for him to become a regional champion? No, it wouldn't be difficult at all for Giovanni.

Because he has the right to say such things!

Besides, Giovanni's days are numbered. His ambitions for dominance? His future?

Beeb has let go of everything; all he wants is to find his son.

"As for the Rockets, I will hand them over to Apollo to lead. I'm sorry, Mr. Bakura, I cannot grant your request."

Then Giovanni added casually, implying that he would be leaving the Rockets.

Sakaki could probably understand Bakura's thoughts.

Besides being interested in him personally, they also had their eyes on the Rockets team behind him!

If Giovanni joins the Alola League, wouldn't Team Rocket, under his command, indirectly become one of the forces within the Alola League?

Sakaki naturally wouldn't agree.

"Mr. Sakaki seems to have misunderstood my thoughts. Although I have some thoughts about the Rockets, compared to Mr. Sakaki, the Rockets are nothing."

Bakura smiled and shook his head upon hearing this, expressing his own thoughts.

"As for Mr. Sakaki's illness... although human medicine cannot cure it, that does not mean that the spirits cannot cure it."

"The abilities of the legendary spirits far exceed people's imagination. If we can find a legend with extremely vigorous life force, I think Mr. Sakaki's serious illness may not be incurable."

Bakura's eyes flickered slightly as he spoke slowly to Sakaki.

Upon hearing this, Sakaki frowned slightly. He had naturally considered this point, but his time was indeed running out.

Moreover, even the colossal Elf Alliance doesn't know much about the whereabouts of the legend.

Team Rocket mobilized all their resources and spent several years before finally finding the whereabouts of the legendary birds.

The legend that can cure Sakaki's serious illness? Let alone not having a target, even if we knew, how could we find one in less than a year?

"Is there any trace of Mr. Bakura?" After a moment of contemplation, Sakaki looked at Bakura and asked in a deep voice.

No one would want to die unless they had absolutely no other choice! Sakaki was no exception.

"There's only been a little bit of news, it's not confirmed yet," Bakura replied, shaking his head.

It would be foolish for him to tell Sakaki directly that he could cure his illness.

Sakaki is not an easy person to get along with; he is deep and ruthless.

"But I think there will definitely be results within six months."

"If Mr. Giovanni is willing to join the Alola League, I will inform Mr. Giovanni as soon as I find that Pokémon in Aether Paradise."

Bakura's lips curled up slightly as he looked directly at Sakaki and smiled.

This is blatant bribery! And it's a bribery that Sakaki could hardly refuse.

If he doesn't want to die, he'll definitely be tempted.

"I see. Let me think about it carefully." Sakaki frowned deeply. As a leader, he didn't like being completely at a disadvantage in this conversation.

But Bakura did indeed possess what he desperately needed now.

Life and time!

But bowing down for this is not in Giovanni's nature. He needs to think carefully about whether he should join the Alola League.

and also……

"However, I have other things to take care of now."

Sakaki slowly took out a photograph he had always treasured from his pocket with his left hand.

The photo shows a young Sakaki with a red-haired boy and a Slug next to him.

That's right, it's a photo of Giovanni and young Gin!

Looking at Gin in the photo, a look of longing and guilt welled up in Sakaki's deep eyes—guilt for Gin.

Since his serious illness, his thinking has changed a lot, and he has thought about many things. He has come to understand many things. Ambition is not everything to him; he also has family!

So Giovanni must find Gin! He is his only family and flesh and blood! He is also the person he owes the most to.
