Chapter 249: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [249]
Ash ultimately lost the match, exiting the tournament at the Top 16 stage.
Yet, Gary's expression didn't show much satisfaction.
If Ash had advanced, Gary's path to the semifinals would have been simpler—he'd only need to defeat Ash in the quarterfinals.
But now, his opponent would be Nock, a trainer clearly several levels above Ash.
After watching Ash and Nock's battle, Gary couldn't help but feel a twinge of doubt.
Sighing, he thought, This is going to be tough.
Luo Yuan, familiar with Gary's tendencies, could tell exactly what was on his mind. He gave Gary a pointed look, his tone laced with mild exasperation.
"Instead of worrying about the later rounds, maybe you should focus on winning your next match. Your upcoming opponent is no pushover either."
Hearing this, Gary's confidence swelled.
Patting his chest, he declared, "Relax! I've prepared thoroughly for this battle. My strategy is flawless."
As if to prove his point, he pulled out a notebook and showed it to Luo Yuan.
