Chapter 324: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [324]
The thunderous stomps of Rhyperior's hooves shook the battlefield, like a war drum pounding relentlessly.
With the force of a tank, Rhyperior charged into Groudon, slamming its massive body into the legendary Pokémon and toppling it back into the pit. The ground trembled under the impact, echoing a resounding boom.
Steven stood stunned, his gaze fixed on the sight of Rhyperior taking down Groudon. Comparing Giovanni's capabilities to his own, he came to a startling realization—Giovanni might actually be stronger than him.
"Are all Kanto's Elite Four this powerful?"
There was Lance, who was hailed as the strongest Elite, then the youngest Elite, Luo Yuan, and now Giovanni, recently promoted from Gym Leader to Elite Four, showing such astonishing strength...
Kanto was truly a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
Giovanni, however, wasn't concerned with Steven's thoughts.
When he decided to become part of Kanto's Elite Four, he had no intention of hiding his strength. His sights were set on becoming Kanto's Champion.
Demonstrating his power now was merely laying the groundwork for his future ascension.
Meanwhile, Groudon, though knocked into the pit by Rhyperior, wasn't seriously injured.
Giovanni's sequence of attacks had achieved their intended effect—not to defeat Groudon, but to restrict its movements.
