"Did Malva contact you?" Luo Yuan asked through a video call with Matori.
"Yes, while you were competing earlier, she reached out to one of our mid-level Rocket executives through a black market intermediary."
"Interesting. It seems she's getting restless because of Celosia's disappearance."
Thanks to days of remote reconnaissance using drones, Team Rocket had confirmed that the stranded members on the island were an elite squad from Team Flare, led by their scientist Celosia.
This squad was no small asset to Team Flare. Adding the importance of Celosia as a scientist, it wasn't surprising they were becoming anxious.
"What did she say to you?" Luo Yuan inquired further.
Malva's words were crucial; through them, they could deduce her goals and whether she knew that Celosia's ship had been sunk by the giant Tentacruel.
Hearing Luo Yuan's question, Matori shook her head.
