Chapter 422: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [422]
Houndoom, Skuntank, Muk, Machamp...
A large wave of Pokémon appeared on the battlefield.
Since they had come to Kanto and might have to fight Team Rocket, Mars and Jupiter had brought only Team Galactic's best trainers—elite among elites.
Not only were they strong, but they were also highly coordinated.
However, in front of Kanto's League trainers—who were well accustomed to fighting Team Rocket—even excellent teamwork wasn't enough to break through their blockade.

As a result, the battle quickly fell into a deadlock.
Mars and Jupiter, who had initially expected their subordinates to gain the upper hand, were caught off guard.
Their original plan had been to use their forces to break through the League's defenses and escape amidst the chaos. But now, not only had that plan failed, but their subordinates were actually starting to be pushed back.
And they didn't have time to step in and help.
Because Giovanni and Lorelei had already singled them out.
