Chapter 287: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [287]
After handing Sird over to Koga, Luo Yuan cleaned up the traces left at the scene and made his way out of the forest.
By the time he returned to the Rocket base on Sevii Island, the battle was over.
Around sixty Team Rocket members had been restrained with handcuffs and were now being guarded by several League trainers.
The rest of the League trainers were combing through the base, searching for any Rocket members who might be in hiding and gathering intelligence.
Da Zhi, who was directing the other trainers, hurried over to greet Luo Yuan upon seeing him return.
"Elite Four Luo Yuan! You're back. Sird..."
As he spoke, he glanced behind Luo Yuan, expecting to see Sird.
"She got away," Luo Yuan said, his tone serious. "There were unexpected complications."
"She escaped?" Da Zhi feigned disappointment, though inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief.
While he had reported the League's raid to Rocket HQ and received instructions to let it play out, he dreaded the idea of a Rocket executive being captured under his watch.
From what he'd seen today, Da Zhi couldn't shake the suspicion—just a suspicion—that a massive internal purge might be underway within Team Rocket.
