Chapter 321: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [321]
"The situation is clear," Luo Yuan said as he lowered the communicator. He turned toward Roxanne and Winona. "Do you have any suggestions?"
As local Gym Leaders of Hoenn, their input was crucial in such a crisis.
The two exchanged a glance before responding decisively.
"We need to evacuate the civilians immediately!" Winona said.
Roxanne nodded in agreement. "If Groudon reaches the shelter, the consequences will be unimaginable."
However, her expression turned troubled. "But there's a problem... The number of people in the shelter is too large. Evacuating everyone will take time."
Luo Yuan met Giovanni's gaze briefly. The corner of his mouth curved upward before he offered a solution.
"Don't worry about that. You two focus on organizing the evacuation. Mr. Giovanni and I will intercept Groudon and buy you the time you need."
"Wait, you're going to face Groudon?" Roxanne blurted out, her voice laced with disbelief.
Anyone who had witnessed the destruction wrought by Kyogre or Groudon would know how daunting such a task was.
With Steven and Wallace already failing to contain Groudon, the idea of someone volunteering to confront it directly seemed almost absurd.
