Chapter 441: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [441]
Gary’s run ended in the Round of 16—an embarrassing result, to say the least.
And if Ash made it to the Quarterfinals, it would be even more humiliating for Gary, who had always considered himself stronger than Ash.
Hearing Gary’s question, Ash thought for a moment before answering, "I don’t think it’ll be a problem."
"I checked out my opponent. Doesn’t seem all that strong."
"I’m pretty confident I’ve got this."
Three sentences—each one like a missile striking the S.S. Gary, sinking it completely.
Ash’s opponent was Harrison, someone he had encountered before. While Harrison wasn’t weak, there was a massive gap in skill compared to Karen, whom Gary had faced.
After a year of training, Ash believed he had improved significantly since last year and was confident about advancing.
"Haha, I’m finally surpassing you this time, Gary!"
"Damn it, you—ugh..."
Gary sighed. What could he do? He lost, plain and simple.
