"Ha ha ha, such arrogant fools, they're so reluctant to acknowledge the name of 'God' for these Pokémon," Dak muttered to himself, seated on a piece of red land known as the Red Line. He was not alone; the Pokémon known as the Three Gods of the Pokémon Alliance accompanied him: Sceptile, Darkrai, and Giratina. Despite their power, the World Government refused to recognize them as 'gods.'

With the World Government publicly declaring the hunt for Pokémon and Alliance members, Dak wasn't going to sit idly by.

He planned a major operation to send a clear message, demonstrating the Pokémon Alliance's strength and daring.

This would shock the world, making everyone aware of the Alliance's power, and deter anyone from targeting them.

The goal was to enhance the Alliance's reputation and position.

Currently, while people acknowledged the Alliance's strength, they still subconsciously believed it couldn't surpass the World Government, which had ruled for 800 years.

After today, they would realize the Pokémon Alliance was far superior.

This action would significantly damage the World Government's prestige, causing chaos. Many would seize the opportunity to become pirates, wreaking havoc.

This was a scenario Dak wanted to avoid. He didn't want the world to descend into chaos, which was why he hadn't yet destroyed the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.

Their oppressive rule kept potential troublemakers in check, preventing widespread wars and conflicts.

Dak had a solution: a system where the Pokémon Alliance would collect 'protection fees' in exchange for peace and order.

This would involve establishing world laws that all member nations must follow. Implementing this required significant manpower, military strength, world recognition, and a widespread presence of Pokémon and trainers.

Until these conditions were met, the World Government and Celestial Dragons would remain necessary.

Today's operation had three main objectives: liberating slaves, killing Celestial Dragons, and securing Vegapunk.

Freeing slaves wasn't just altruistic; it would garner gratitude and loyalty, potentially swelling the ranks of the Pokémon Alliance.

Even those who didn't join would likely become trainers, supporting the Alliance's cause. The exact number of slaves was unknown, but the liberation would have far-reaching effects.

Killing Celestial Dragons would send a powerful message, instilling fear and respect for the Alliance.

As for Vegapunk, his genius was unparalleled. His inventions, from land heating systems to artificial Devil Fruits, showcased his unmatched talent.

Capturing him would be a significant boon for the Alliance, providing technological advancements and further consolidating their power.

As Dak read the newspaper, distant footsteps rumbled through the Red Line. He sensed that the World Government's forces had mobilized in full strength, just as he had hoped.

"I'll leave it to you three. If there are any marines among them, hold back a bit. They're probably just here to put on a show," Dak instructed, referring to Sceptile, Darkrai, and Giratina.

With that, Dak leaned back, a door of air opening behind him, allowing him to vanish from the physical world.

The three Pokémon exchanged glances before focusing on the approaching white-clad soldiers, the elite of the World Government, led by the CP0 agents.

In the original story, CP0 was seen as the pinnacle of the World Government's strength, but later revelations showed a decline in their perceived power.

Not every CP0 member possessed overwhelming strength; some, like former CP9 members, didn't measure up. Only select captains and officers held significant power, some possibly rivaling Admirals.

The hierarchy of the World Government's top combatants likely went: Im > Gorosei (Five Elders) ≈ Holy Knights > CP0 Commanders.

Im, the undisputed leader for 800 years, was an unknown entity, possibly a max-level combatant like Sceptile or Darkrai.

The Gorosei, chosen from the Holy Knights, each commanded one of the World Government's five domains, likely on par with peak-level figures like Whitebeard or Garp.

The Holy Knights, selected from the Celestial Dragons' twenty families, numbered around twenty, each responsible for maintaining the Celestial Dragons' rule.

Their leader possibly matched the Gorosei in power, with other members ranging from level 85 to 90, and a few nearing Admiral-level strength.

CP0 Commanders, such as future Rob Lucci, were formidable but generally below the top-tier level, often acting as enforcers.

With the imminent confrontation, the true extent of the World Government's power would be revealed, setting the stage for a decisive battle that would reshape the world's perception of the Pokémon Alliance.
