Chapter 52: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [52]
Lampurchi Airport
Luo Yuan waited by the arrivals gate, where Misty soon appeared.
"New outfit today?" Luo Yuan asked, curious.
Misty's usual look was a sleeveless yellow tank top with blue denim shorts, but today she wore a white top and light blue shorts.
Hearing him bring it up, Misty sighed with a hint of exasperation.
"My sisters made me change. They say that as the Gym Leader, I'm the face of Cerulean Gym, so I need to present myself properly."
"Ah, I see."
That sounded exactly like the Cerulean Sisters, known for their popularity as Water Ballet stars. While their skills as trainers were pretty lacking, they certainly knew how to think strategically.
They'd turned Cerulean Gym into a brand, with Misty as its spokesperson. Even if her battle skills weren't quite up to Gym Leader standards, her improved image might prevent Cerulean Gym from facing League cuts.
"That said, you look pretty stylish like this." Luo Yuan nodded at Misty.
If her previous look had been a bit youthful, her current one was more sophisticated.
