Chapter 499: Pokemon master of tactics: Chapter 499
It wasn't long before Alex arrived back in front of the mayor's office.
The large building stood as imposing as ever, guarded and busy, with several trainers and staff members moving in and out after the end of the raid. Without wasting time, Alex stepped inside.
The familiar assembly hall greeted him.
Several trainers had already gathered, some standing, others sitting, quietly talking among themselves or simply waiting in silence. The atmosphere was calmer than before, but there was still a lingering tension in the air.
Alex's gaze swept across the room. Among the trainers he already knew, one figure immediately stood out.
Drake, a member of the Hoenn Elite Four.
He was sitting right in the middle, his posture relaxed but commanding. Even without doing anything, his presence alone was enough to make some trainer nervous.
Alex narrowed his eyes slightly for a brief moment before returning to his usual calm expression.
He thought, 'What's he doing here? Even if it's normal for Elite Four members to assist with red-level Pokémon raids, they almost never stay this long. So why is he still here?'
