"What did the Kanto Alliance say? Did President Alder give any instructions?"
Although no one else noticed anything strange about Tetsuya.
Cynthia still caught the momentary stiffness in his body.
So, she secretly sent Tetsuya a message.
For some reason.
Cynthia simply had a feeling that he knew something.
Otherwise, he would never have reacted like that just now.
The latter fell silent for a while.
In the end, he sent her only one word.
The instant she saw it.
Cynthia's pupils contracted slightly, and her mouth fell open.
Before she could realize that her reaction was somewhat inappropriate, Tetsuya had already casually stepped in front of her, blocking the probing gazes from the Team Rocket members.
"I remember something you said before."
Giovanni suddenly looked at Tetsuya. "Women only slow down the speed at which I throw Poke Balls. That was what you said, wasn't it?"
"I agree with that statement, but judging by things now, it seems you haven't managed to live by it."
He said thus.
As the leader of a dark organization.
Giovanni was one of the rare types who lived like an ascetic.
Throughout his life.
Only two things had received all of his attention—becoming stronger, and making Team Rocket stronger.
Judging by the results.
Giovanni had undoubtedly succeeded.
Not only had he become a Champion Level Trainer himself, Team Rocket had also become one of the foremost dark organizations.
"Do you enjoy talking so much nonsense?"
Tetsuya shot back.
Giovanni suddenly smiled. "Really, at a time like this, am I not even allowed to say such things?"
At that.
Lance, who did not even need to end the call, had nothing more to say.
All the Trainers on both sides silently prepared for battle.
The solemn atmosphere seemed to freeze the very air around
