Chapter 426: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [426] [50 PS]
There was no denying it—Giovanni's tactics were flawless.
Advance. Withdraw. Separate.
Using Rhydon and Aggron, two heavily armored Pokémon, to suppress his opponents while Beedrill provided agile support wherever needed, he eliminated any possibility of unexpected setbacks. With overwhelming strength on his side, Giovanni steadily solidified his advantage, moving step by step toward victory.
For Jupiter and Mars, however, the situation was dire.
Rhydon and Aggron were already formidable—excessively so—but at least they still had a fighting chance against them.
But Beedrill? They had no counter to it whatsoever.
Its exceptional speed, devastating attack power, and sharp battlefield awareness... It was hard to imagine all these qualities concentrated in a Beedrill, a species commonly found in forests.
Who the hell is this Giovanni?
How did he train a Beedrill to this level?!
The Beedrill hovered over them like the sword of Damocles, forcing them into an unforgiving state of heightened vigilance. A single mistake—a moment's hesitation—could mean instant defeat.
But as everyone knew, no one could maintain that level of concentration forever.
