Chapter 308: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [308]
"I suppose you're aware of the reason I established the Masked Army," Pryce began, cutting straight to the point.
"Of course," Luo Yuan replied with a nod.
The purpose behind Pryce's Masked Army was an open secret within Team Rocket. Most mid-level and higher-ranking members knew the semi-autonomous faction existed to capture Celebi.
However, Luo Yuan, with his knowledge of the broader storyline, knew even more. Pryce's goal wasn't just to catch Celebi—it was to use its power to travel back in time and save his two beloved Lapras, which had died in a tragic accident.
Unaware of Luo Yuan's insight, Pryce continued. "Due to Celebi's unique nature, capturing it requires a special Poké Ball known as the GS Ball."
"According to the original plan, my men were supposed to acquire the GS Ball from the Orange Islands and then use it to capture Celebi."
"But now... there's been an unexpected complication."
"Oh?" Luo Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Is it a problem with the GS Ball? Or Celebi?"
At this, Pryce's expression darkened. After a moment of hesitation, he muttered, "Both."
"..."
Luo Yuan was at a loss for words, though the situation suddenly made it clear why Pryce had called for him.
