Seeing Agatha agree, Lance nodded, "To prevent Team Rocket from interfering with the Indigo League Conference, we need to make some progress before then. Let's get started... This meeting is adjourned!"
Agatha and Bruno left the room.
As Lance was about to leave, he noticed the trainer who had just reported to him was still waiting by the door.
"Is there something else?"
"There's been an update. The League trainers guarding the Rocket base have sent a distress signal to the Celadon Gym, and Leader Erika has gone to support them."
Lance was silent for a moment.
The situation of three Elites being bested by a single Rocket executive was already embarrassing enough, and Lance had ordered a strict blackout on the incident. Now Erika was heading into the same lion's den, oblivious to what she was walking into.
"Contact Erika immediately and tell her to withdraw. Also, notify everyone to avoid direct confrontation with the target. We can't risk unnecessary losses."
Though their opponent had only knocked them out during previous engagements, Lance didn't want to risk the possibility that they might show less restraint in the future. Pokémon battles always carried an element of unpredictability, and he couldn't afford anyone being seriously harmed.
