Cain also participated in his Pokémon's training, as he had not only reached an intermediate level in his psychic abilities, but thanks to his constant physical training, his stamina now exceeded that of an average person.
Moreover, Cain had noticed that ever since the Unown bonded with his body, he seemed to experience a slight increase in his physical capabilities.
Although this change was barely noticeable and much subtler than the increase in his psychic power, the now fully functional system was capable of detecting these small variations in his body.
The most interesting part was that, during training sessions, this improvement seemed to accelerate slightly. Now that he had enough resources, Cain made sure to consume high-quality food packed with energy, which significantly contributed to his physical development and made the training process easier.
While the Pokémon carried out their regular training, Cain would run ten laps around the area and then dedicate time to practicing and refining his psychic skills.
These daily routines had become part of his new personal standards, with the goal of not becoming a weak link in the event of facing battles in the wild.
This intense training lasted for an entire week—until something Cain had been waiting for finally happened: the big announcement from the League was officially revealed.
The Fairy type!
All regions and divisions of the Pokémon League simultaneously announced the official existence of this new type, publishing detailed information about it.
However, Cain, who had been the first to discover the Fairy type and was now recognized as the lead researcher behind the discovery, was not publicly mentioned.
In the "discoverer and lead contributor" section of the League's official announcement, only the word "Anonymous" appeared. This was a specific request that Cain had made to the League.
Except for the higher-ups within the organization, even most Gym Leaders had no idea who was truly responsible. The few individuals present on the day Cain revealed his findings about the Fairy type had signed strict confidentiality agreements.
The reason was simple: the implications of this discovery were so massive that Cain could not afford to endure the attention or public scrutiny that would come with it.
To understand the level of recognition he had turned down, one only had to look at the other researchers listed in the announcement: the renowned Professor Oak, Professor Birch, and many other prominent scientists were named in the second tier, while the term "Anonymous" held the top spot.
Such an honor was something Cain could not handle in his current situation. Had his name been revealed, he would have been placed directly in the spotlight, making many of his planned operations far more difficult.
Setting aside that fame, although it hurt his pride, was a minor sacrifice compared to the benefits he would gain. Besides, as long as the League's top brass recognized his contribution, that was more than enough.
As expected, the identity of the mysterious "Professor Anonymous" became a hot topic in the Pokémon world. Admirers and skeptics alike tried to uncover who was behind this major discovery.
The rise of the Fairy type had a devastating impact on Dragon-type Pokémon. While it didn't eliminate them entirely, it significantly weakened their dominance, reducing their effectiveness by a third.
In response to the revelation, the League also published a list of Pokémon that had been identified as Fairy type. Although most of them originated from the Kalos region, some species from other regions were also reclassified.
This news triggered a frenzy among trainers, who began actively searching for Fairy-type Pokémon. Everyone quickly realized that raising a Dragon-type Pokémon was far more expensive and complex than training a Fairy-type one.
However, these Pokémon were naturally rare, and finding them in the wild was not easy. Because of this, those familiar with grey markets or black markets rushed to seek Fairy-type Pokémon for sale.
To their surprise, they discovered that many of these Pokémon had already been purchased.
Pokémon traders were also stunned. Over the past week, they had sold these Pokémon at high prices to buyers they had considered "naive."
Now, understanding the true value of those sales, they realized that they had been the real "naive" ones.
Furious, many traders began investigating who was behind these mass purchases—only to discover they were dealing with a group operating with exclusive insider knowledge, likely tied to the League's high-ranking officials.
This realization left them speechless. They understood that they were dealing with an organization powerful enough to access privileged information and operate on a global scale. Faced with this, they chose to remain silent and accept their fate.
Meanwhile, Cain, with the help of his organization's resources—Team Heaven—had managed to acquire nearly half of the Fairy-type Pokémon available on the market. His personal investment, along with substantial loans from Steven and Wallace, had made these acquisitions possible.
In Cain's own words, this was a monumental gamble. If he won, the profits would be incalculable. If he lost... well, at least part of the money wasn't his.
Fortunately, the gamble had been a resounding success. Cain now found himself in a secret Team Heaven base in the mountains behind Leafy Town, looking at endless rows of Poké Balls containing Fairy-type Pokémon. His face showed satisfaction.
"This time, we really hit the jackpot," Cain thought.
For the first time in his life, Cain was looking at a trove of resources that exceeded even his wildest dreams.
