"Sigh~"
"Well!"
Sigh...
Giovanni walked on the sunken platform, watching Roy leisurely enjoying the sea breeze, drinking juice, and occasionally teasing the Snorunt.
Giovanni felt that youth was a good thing, and with Agatha protecting him from behind, there was nothing to worry about.
Unlike myself, I also have to deal with a bunch of troublesome things from my subordinates.
Roy could tell that Giovanni was very anxious.
The other person had been loitering behind me for almost half an hour, constantly sighing and complaining.
It's hard for him not to notice that the other person has something on their mind.
Roy knew that if he didn't ask, the other person could probably linger around him for another half hour.
"Brother Giovanni, what's wrong with you...?"
"It's nothing, it's just... well... there were some problems with the company I started before."
Seeing that Roy had finally asked him, Giovanni's desire to share reached its peak. He didn't know why he just wanted to chat with Roy.
Roy seemed different from everyone else; no matter what happened, he always seemed relaxed.
The company? I think the problem lies within the Team Rocket.
Roy didn't expose him, but instead sat up in the recliner and asked:
"Why don't you tell me, Brother Giovanni? Maybe I can give you some advice."
He also wanted to know the current situation of the Team Rocket.
"Sigh~ I used to start a company, and there were several major shareholders whose shares were so high that they even exceeded my shareholding as the chairman of the company."
They won't listen to me at all now, and they even want to kick me out. What should I do?
After asking Giovanni, I felt like the weight on my heart had lightened a bit.
However, he simply wanted to talk to Roy about it and didn't Volo to have any good ideas.
But in the very next second, Roy gave his answer.
"I think you're overcomplicating things, Giovanni- san. You said it yourself, the combined shares of all those shareholders are still smaller than yours."
Therefore, you shouldn't treat those shareholders as a whole, but rather as individual entities, and defeat them one by one.
"A single individual?"
Giovanni pondered Roy's words, and a flash of inspiration struck him.
Just as Giovanni was still pondering Roy's answer, Snorunt noticed the float on the fishing rod bobbing slightly and quickly patted Roy's arm with his small, round hand to remind Roy that a fish had taken the bait.
Roy pulled the fishing rod hard, and a small, white, round-eyed Wishiwashi with blue fins and a slightly open mouth was caught.

Look at this Wishiwashi.
Roy showed Giovanni the Wishiwashi he had just caught.
Giovanni watched the Wishiwashi struggling and thrashing on the fishing rod, wondering why Roy had shown him this.
Roy didn't tell Giovanni his solution anymore, but instead started explaining the Wishiwashi in front of Giovanni.
"Wishiwashi is a very magical Pokémon. Although it does not have an evolved form, it exists as an individual Pokémon and as a Schooling."
A single Wishiwashi is very weak, but if they encounter danger, they will huddle together for warmth and form a group.
In their Schooling form, their strength is greatly enhanced, even Wailord and Sharpedo have to give them a wide berth.
After saying that, Roy fished off the hook a 20cm Wishiwashi.
The Wishiwashi tried to struggle, but Roy's strength was far beyond its capabilities. It tried to attack Roy with Water Gun, but the water Spit Up out felt like it was washing Roy's hands.
Similarly, without external pressure, the Wishiwashi in the Schooling will disperse again due to food shortages and become individual fish once more, at which point they will become very weak again.
So, Giovanni- san, do you understand?
After saying that, Roy looked at Giovanni.
As Roy's final question entered Giovanni's mind, the flash of inspiration transformed into a key, unlocking the last lock in Giovanni's mind with a "click."
This is it, this is it!
Giovanni finally realized the problem.
He was too eager for quick success, always thinking he could devour those stubborn old fogies in the Johto in one bite.
Roy was right; after external pressure decreases, internal pressure increases.
I am now that external pressure. If I were gone, the internal problems within Team Rocket in the Johto would become apparent.
He knew those stubborn old fogies in the Johto too well. Faced with the pressure he brought, they banded together and focused on dealing with him, making his resistance very strong.
However, if we don't participate first and instead announce our withdrawal from the Johto, letting them fight it out first, according to their thinking, they will definitely fight to determine a new leader and second-in-command for Team Rocket.
When they fight to the very end, their strength will inevitably be damaged.
At that time, the resistance would naturally be greatly reduced. All I needed to do was follow what Roy had said at the beginning: defeat them one by one as they were damaged, and finally achieve unification.
Giovanni understood Roy's meaning; he felt as if the problem that had been weighing on his mind for months had been instantly resolved.
Watching Roy recline on the chair again, occasionally scratching his bottom, Giovanni felt the boy before him was increasingly unfathomable.
"It turns out I was mistaken from the start. Thank you so much, Roy."
"No need to thank me. Those involved are often blinded, while bystanders see things clearly. I believe that with Giovanni's abilities, he would have realized this sooner or later."
I was just giving you a suggestion; how you actually implement it is up to you, Giovanni- nii.
After saying that, Roy took out a Pokéblock from his Spatial Bracelet.
He casually stuffed the Pokéblock into the Wishiwashi's mouth, then tossed it back into the sea with a three-point shot, before lying back on his deck chair and swinging his Wishiwashi again.
