However, as Qing Wu ventured deeper into Flame Cave, stimulated by the free-floating Fire energy, an Omega Ruby pattern appeared on the back of his hand. Qing Wu immediately felt much cooler.
"Lord Qing, Flame Cave has three levels in total. Moltres is guarded by four Pseudo-Elite Four Fire Pokémon. They are Arcanine, Rapidash, Typhlosion, and Darmanitan."
"They lead their tribes and occupy the second level of Flame Cave. As soon as our reconnaissance robots entered the second level, they were attacked by those Pokémon."
"The first level is home to Persian, Raticate, Graveler, and other Pokémon." Caesar suddenly waved toward the front. Qing Wu saw a group of Team Rocket members wearing the same uniforms.
They must have been the advance team sent to scout Flame Cave.
"Lord Natsume, Lord Qing, these are the other two Squad Leaders, Kane and Worby," Caesar enthusiastically introduced them to Qing Wu.
Qing Wu glanced at Kane, a middle-aged man with a full beard, and Worby, a smiling, enormously fat man.
"Lord Natsume, Lord Qing." The two men bowed to Natsume and Qing Wu in turn.
"Kane, how are things up ahead?" Qing Wu asked.
"Things aren't looking good. The Pokémon in Flame Cave attacked our squad, and quite a few of our Pokémon have already lost their ability to fight. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to complete this Moltres-hunting mission," Kane said bitterly.
"What about logistics? Can't the supplies keep up?" Qing Wu was speechless.
Kane was about to speak, but Worby stopped him. Qing Wu saw the gesture and narrowed his eyes as he said to Kane, "Tell me about any difficulties immediately so I can solve them. If someone is slacking off without explaining what's going on, don't blame me for reporting it to Boss Sakaki."
