Chapter 20: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [20]
"Where's Brock? I, Gary Oak from Pallet Town, am here to challenge Pewter Gym!"
A familiar voice rang out from the entrance.
Luo Yuan turned to see Gary Oak, wearing his signature high-collared jacket, confidently strolling in with a squad of cheerleaders trailing behind him. The whole entrance was enough to catch anyone's eye.
The moment Gary saw Luo Yuan, his smirk faded into surprise.
"Luo Yuan?"
Gary's jaw dropped as he took in the sight, evidently shocked that Luo Yuan had arrived before him.
"Long time no see, Gary. What's this?" Luo Yuan raised an eyebrow, glancing at the entourage behind Gary. "Looks like you're organizing...a little team-building exercise?"
Gary had no idea what Luo Yuan meant by a 'team-building exercise,' but from Luo Yuan's teasing tone, he could tell it was nothing serious.
"I'm here for an official gym battle!" Gary retorted.
"Sure, I'll take your word for it," Luo Yuan chuckled, dropping the subject with a wave. "But if you're here to challenge the gym, you might be a bit late."
"Late? What do you mean?" Gary's excitement wavered slightly.
