Team Rocket's Second-in-Command!

A blue glow flashed in Slowbro's eyes—a telltale sign of its [Psychic] attack.

Shellos, which had just been sent out to support Skuntank, was forced to defend against the oncoming assault instead.

After all, Lorelei was a member of Kanto's Elite Four—there was no way she would have fewer Pokémon than Jupiter. Relying on numbers to gain an advantage was unrealistic.

With that option gone, Jupiter had no choice but to focus on tactics.

Jupiter quickly fell into a disadvantage.

Bronzong was being completely suppressed by Giovanni's Rhydon.

She sent out her other main Pokémon—Purugly—but rather than assisting Bronzong, she had a different plan.

Purugly suddenly sprang forward with surprising agility, its powerful legs propelling it toward Giovanni.
