Chapter 293: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [293]
Kalos Region
Team Flare's Secret Base
Lysandre stood before a large oil painting, his expression dark and brooding.
After a long silence, he finally spoke. "Have you seen it, Chalmers?"
The butler-like figure behind him, Chalmers, bowed slightly. "Are you referring to the matter with Malva, sir?"
"Yes."
Yesterday, after nearly ten days of complete silence, Malva had finally updated her social media with a new holographic post.
The message claimed that her communicator had malfunctioned during a vacation in Kanto. She explained that she had only just repaired it and apologized for causing concern.
On the surface, it seemed like a reasonable explanation. Most people accepted it without question.
But Lysandre, who had personally sent Malva to Kanto to confront Team Rocket, was deeply suspicious.
After all, following the disappearance of Celosia and the other Team Flare operatives, Malva had been dispatched to investigate their whereabouts. Yet, she too vanished without a trace for ten days, leaving Lysandre to assume she had been captured by Team Rocket.
