Chapter 288: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [288]
After hearing Luo Yuan's words, Lorelei gave a small nod.
As Luo Yuan had mentioned, the presence of Team Rocket in Johto was several times more rampant than in Kanto. It was precisely for this reason that Lance had been sent to manage Johto after becoming Champion.
With the current operation concluded, Luo Yuan had fully demonstrated his capabilities. At least in Lorelei's eyes, he had performed admirably.
To her, it seemed Luo Yuan no longer needed her guidance.
And with this achievement, his future position as an Elite Four member would undoubtedly be seen as more credible.
"So, Lorelei, how do you plan to handle the captured Rocket members?" Luo Yuan asked.
Standing nearby, Da Zhi discreetly pricked up his ears. He wanted to gather information on the prisoners' whereabouts to report back to his superiors and arrange a rescue.
"Considering the recent uptick in Team Rocket activity," Lorelei replied, "I've decided to personally oversee these Rocket members until Kanto sends a chartered flight to transfer them to the League headquarters."
In previous cases, Rocket members who had been captured often managed to escape mid-transport.
Lorelei was determined to avoid another failure.
"I see," Luo Yuan said with a smile. "I might not be able to join you on the flight back to Kanto. Sevii Island has such beautiful scenery that I invited my girlfriend here for a little vacation."
