Chapter 124: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [124]
The appearance of Deoxys made Hunter J visibly tense.
Her rigid stance and the look on her face revealed her nervousness.
It was clear that her previous defeat by Deoxys—so easily overpowered—had left her with a lasting fear of it.
"Let me introduce you," Luo Yuan said with a smile. "This is Deoxys. It has remote-tracking abilities, so once it remembers someone's characteristics, it can locate them across thousands of miles."
As he spoke, he reached out and plucked a strand of hair from Hunter J's head, then handed it to Deoxys.
Deoxys coiled a tendril around the hair, silently recording her features.
Hunter J watched this, her heart sinking.
She didn't think Luo Yuan would bother lying to a prisoner, so if what he said was true... being tracked by a legendary Pokémon meant she'd never be free of Luo Yuan's surveillance.
Luo Yuan could locate her at any time, anywhere. If she were to betray him, she'd have to constantly look over her shoulder for his inevitable retaliation.
It was a price she wasn't willing to pay.
This meant she was now, without question, bound to Team Rocket for the foreseeable future.
