"I haven't finished my travels yet. I'll probably head back once I'm done. How is everyone?" Heath poured Cord a cup of tea, black tea again. Cord liked drinking tea, rather like a little old man. Although, by Pokémon standards, Cord really did count as elderly, he still had a long life ahead of him. After all, according to Pokémon Professors' research, Alakazam generally lived at least two hundred years, and the longer-lived ones could even reach a thousand.
"Very well. Viridian City is the same as ever, except quite a few people have joined the Officer Jenny Unit lately. Everyone thought they were here to retire." Cord happily lifted his cup and took a sip, then let out a contented sigh. Heath's tea was as distinctive as ever. Along with the tea, there was a lemon flavor. This was lemon tea Heath had prepared especially for him, and Cord was quite pleased with it. After all, it really tasted good, and the tart lemon flavor tempered the tea's bitterness, making it even more pleasant to drink.
Heath paused. Quite a few Officer Jennys had come to Viridian City? That was rather curious. After all, Viridian City had always had the lowest crime rate in the Kanto League. Sister Feng had even complained that older Officer Jennys should be assigned there so they could enjoy their retirement, rather than sending someone in her prime like her to idle her days away. He hadn't expected the League to actually assign some Officer Jennys there now.
Could people have started suspecting Giovanni's identity? That was the only possibility Heath could think of. After all, if there was anything in Viridian City that demanded serious attention from the League, Heath doubted there was anyone besides Giovanni. Giovanni was Team Rocket's boss, after all.
