Chapter 123: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [123]
"Blaine, you've been exposed!"
The Rocket Team executive appeared suddenly at the doorway, calling him out by name.
Although Blaine didn't recognize this particular executive, given his current standing with Rocket Team, he knew there was no way this could be a friendly visit.
As Cinnabar Gym's Leader and the second-strongest Gym Leader in Kanto, Blaine's instincts were sharp.
In a practiced, professional motion, he reached for his Pokéball.
"Ninetales, Flamethrower!"
A flash of white light, and Ninetales appeared in the hotel lobby, its creamy fur glistening, ruby-red eyes gleaming as it prepared to attack.
Ninetales—Blaine's fourth Pokémon—immediately obeyed, unleashing a torrent of flame toward Luo Yuan at the door.
But Luo Yuan didn't even flinch.
"No need to embarrass yourself by bringing out something at this level," said Luo Yuan, disguised as Rocket Team Executive "K." He waved his hand.
In a swift blur, Gengar slipped out from the shadows and positioned itself in front of Luo Yuan.
