Chapter 528 - 527: Team Magma’s Strategy

...
In the Hoenn region.
On Route 112, above Lavaridge Town, there was a hidden cave nestled amidst the mountainous trail.
Inside the cave was a massive meeting hall.
At the center stood a middle-aged man with red hair, clad in a red and black coat, positioned at the head of the table. His stance was imposing and commanding.
Around the table, the other members of the group varied in appearance, but none dared meet the red-haired man's gaze.
The atmosphere was tense.
Everyone in the room controlled their breathing, afraid the leader might seize any excuse to punish them.
