Patrick soon finished explaining his plan.
It was simple: take every Pokémon Egg and every low-level Magnemite.

The Xu Family could suppress them by force and destroy their trust, or spend a fortune to make the problem go away and take on a massive loan.
And that was just one clan.
If the other clans—even the Metagross clan—did the same, the Xu Family might not go bankrupt, but it would spend the next decade or more paying off its debts.
