Pokémon: Chronicles of Freedom-Chapter 532 - 531: Heaven Team’s Planning

This is the image Skye and the other two have cultivated.

Aside from the six original members of Team Rocket who followed Cain from the trial island, no one else in Heaven Team has seen Cain's true face, nor do they know that the new gym leader of Leafy Town is actually their boss.

This also provides Cain with some protection regarding his identity.

Additionally, the Sky Hunt group has fully merged with Heaven Team, operating as an external force.

Karen, for her part, has become a key subordinate of Cain.

Skye and the other two have instilled in Karen a deep admiration for Cain, highlighting how excellent and powerful he is, which eventually led to her complete loyalty and incorporation into Heaven Team.

These four—Skye, Miyamoto, Alec, and Karen—are now Cain's most trusted individuals.

Karen is in charge of the Sky Hunt group, which focuses on capturing Pokémon to trade for resources.

Thanks to Karen's incredible luck, the Sky Hunt group has grown rapidly and gained considerable reputation in the Hunter Guild branch in Verdanturf Town.

At the same time, they have generated substantial revenue for Heaven Team, and Karen's strength has also improved.

Meanwhile, Skye, Miyamoto, and Alec primarily focus on growing Heaven Team and sending new recruits to work under Karen. Through hunting, these recruits can grow more quickly.

Thus, a basic system of recruitment and development has been established for Heaven Team.

Currently, the official members of Heaven Team number over a hundred. Even in Verdanturf Town, they are considered a respectable force, though they still lack elite-level members.

Today, Cain gathered the six members who have followed him from the trial island in the mountain rear.

The main reason for the meeting was to assign new tasks. Cain decided that Skye would return to help manage the daily affairs of the gym in addition to handling the finances of Heaven Team.

Alec and Miyamoto would take charge of the team's operations: Alec would manage the recruitment and training of new members, while Miyamoto would oversee external battles.

Cain delegated all responsibilities to them.

As a leader, there's no need to personally manage a small organization. Competent subordinates handle management tasks, less capable ones handle battles, and tedious duties are dealt with by the team.

Currently, the Sky Hunt group is a three-star hunter group. If they manage to reach four stars, the group's level will hit its ceiling unless Cain increases his hunter rank.

Thus, Cain also needs to find time to capture more Pokémon and level up as a hunter.

Additionally, the most important task is that Cain assigned some of the Pokémon he had acquired.

Apart from Karen, everyone received valuable Pokémon.

Pokémon like Breloom with the Poison Heal ability, Zangoose with the Toxic Boost ability, and Ariados were distributed. If Alec and the others can tame these Pokémon, their strength will increase significantly.

Perhaps it's hard for them to believe.

After all the effort they've put into training their Pokémon, the results are no match for what they gain by directly receiving a Pokémon from Cain.

It's not that Cain wants to demotivate them or hurt their pride, but... it's the reality.

As for Skye, Cain also temporarily entrusted him with the three Water-type Pokémon he captured last time so he could familiarize himself with them.

In the future, when Cain is absent from the gym, Skye will act as the interim leader. These three Water-type Pokémon will serve as the signature Pokémon of the Leafy Town gym unless Cain has to battle personally.

Skye gladly accepted this responsibility.

The assignment of these tasks demonstrates Cain's trust in him, which filled him with satisfaction.

The fact that Cain entrusts the management of Heaven Team to Miyamoto and Alec also reflects his confidence in them.

After clarifying how future plans would unfold, Cain left them to absorb everything in the mountain rear, while Skye took Cain's letter of recommendation and headed to the gym.

The gym is completely empty at the moment, and Skye is responsible for organizing and setting everything up.

From hiring staff to building an artificial lake outside the gym, it's all Skye's responsibility.

Since he manages Heaven Team's finances, he has access to a large budget.

Heaven Team and the Sky Hunt group already generate considerable income, and during this time, it hasn't been small.

Currently, Cain has over thirty million in cash, so he doesn't need to touch Heaven Team's funds, which also provides them with a solid foundation.

Thanks to their recent development, Heaven Team has already taken shape.

From now on, better management planning for the entire organization will be necessary.

For example, each member will need a practical and stable Pokémon team.

Cain's initial plan is to form teams with the combination of Breloom and Zangoose. If multiple pairs can be formed with Breloom with the Poison Heal ability and Zangoose with the Toxic Boost ability, the team's power will increase significantly.

Additionally, it is necessary to define the uniform and emblem for Heaven Team. As an underground organization, having a unique identity is crucial for their growing recognition.

Cain has already shared these ideas with Alec, Miyamoto, and Skye. All he cares about are the results, and they will handle the details.

Being a leader who delegates has its advantages.

As long as he retains enough power, there's no need to worry about his subordinates harboring ill intentions.

This is Cain's confidence—a basic management principle he learned from Giovanni.

After leaving the mountain, Cain returned to Leafy Town and immersed himself in work in the gym's backyard.
