Chapter 393: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [393]
Lance imagined himself in Luo Yuan's place, running through possible scenarios, and his conclusion wasn't optimistic.
Though he was confident in his superior tactical acumen, there were two glaring issues.
First, his Dragonite wasn't as exceptionally gifted as Luo Yuan's and wouldn't have the sheer power to overwhelm Steven's Metagross.
Second, Lance doubted his ability to time commands with the level of precision Luo Yuan demonstrated.
Steven might not have noticed it in the heat of battle, but as an observer, Lance couldn't ignore the near-instantaneous communication between Luo Yuan and his Dragonite.
Most of the time, Dragonite reacted before Luo Yuan even finished speaking, as though they were of one mind.
Even Lance had to admit, he couldn't compete with that level of synchronicity.
A sudden sense of urgency crept up on him...
As the Champion of Johto, if Luo Yuan surpassed him, would he have to step aside?
Steven stared silently at his fallen Metagross.
If the earlier Explosion by Claydol was a hasty decision it had made on its own, this time, he had consciously allowed Metagross to engage in a one-for-one exchange with Luo Yuan's Dragonite.
