"I would like to see the Hoenn region starters first: Mudkip, Torchic, and Treecko," Cain said, mentioning the Pokémon he was most interested in.

"Alright."

Umbra then spoke to the air: "Alakazam, bring the high-quality Poké Balls with the Hoenn region starters."

It had been promised to Cain that if he delayed his reward for the starter Pokémon until after the Final Trial, the level of the starter Pokémon would be higher.

Then, a wave of psychic energy was felt.

Five Poké Balls appeared on the table, and through the transparent windows of the Poké Balls, the Pokémon inside were visible.

A flash passed through Cain's eyes as the system scanned all the data of the five Pokémon.

The five were starters from the Hoenn region: a Mudkip, two Torchic, and two Treecko.

Cain pretended to observe them carefully while secretly comparing the data of the five Pokémon.

He quickly discarded the two lower-quality Pokémon, leaving him with one Mudkip, one Torchic, and one Treecko, all of which were blue quality.

It could be said that these three Pokémon had extremely outstanding qualities.

If anyone could choose one of these three as their starter Pokémon, and they had decent talent, their growth ceiling would undoubtedly be very high.

It was worth noting that Cain, with his strength as a Team Rocket captain or higher, had Pokémon whose quality mostly ranged from dark green to light blue.

And with that quality, he was already among the best in the new generation of Team Rocket, to the point where even Giovanni had taken notice of him.

For example, Vexor's light blue Beedrill, as a trusted subordinate of an Executive, was already his ace.

But could Beedrill compare to the Hoenn starters?
