Team Rocket's Second-in-Command!

"Xatu is unable to battle!"

"Will’s Pokémon are all unable to continue. Karen is the winner!"

The referee’s voice echoed through the stadium, officially announcing the match’s result.

Neither Will nor Karen looked particularly surprised.

Of course, this didn’t mean Will was weaker than Karen. In fact, in terms of raw strength, Will had the edge.

But there was no helping it—Will specialized in Psychic-types, while Karen was an expert in Dark-types.

That natural disadvantage was simply too great.

With both sides giving it their all, even Will’s superior skill couldn’t completely overcome the overwhelming type matchup.

Still, Will didn’t mind. His real goal wasn’t victory—it was fulfilling Giovanni’s mission and infiltrating the League.

From the stands, Lance, who had been watching the entire match, turned to Luo Yuan.

"Let’s go. It’s time for the awards ceremony."
