Chapter 641

"Zygarde...... wait, no, Steven!?"

Lance was startled by this resounding name.

Team Rocket's ultimate goal was not just to rule the Kanto and Johto regions; they wanted to dominate the world!

Naturally, they had more or less learned about the powerhouses of other regions.

Steven Stone—this man held many titles and was a household name in the Hoenn region.

Former Hoenn Champion, sole heir to the Devon Corporation, and a fanatical collector of rare stones.

Why, just as he was about to succeed, would this former Champion, who should be far away in Hoenn, appear here!?

Clearly, the Team Rocket grunts, including Yamato and her group, felt their legs go weak upon hearing this name; they collapsed to the ground, their faces filled only with boundless fear and collapse.

The former League...... Champion is here!

And they would only be discarded as pawns—

"Are you alright?"

Steven glanced at Lance, who was stunned in place, shook his head with a light smile, then turned to Su Hao and asked with concern, "How is your condition? Can you still stand?"

"I'm fine, just a bit exhausted. No external injuries."

Su Hao nodded to indicate he was fine, then used both hands to recall Diancie and the others into their Luxury Balls.

His Aura of Viridian had not yet recovered, so he could only use the healing function built into the Luxury Balls to slowly treat their wounds.

After settling his Pokémon, Su Hao looked up at Steven and thanked him, "Thank you for your support, Mr. Steven."

"Facing an enemy like this, you've already done an excellent job. Leave the rest to me, Steven!"

Steven didn't look back; he smiled at the sweat-drenched Lance and teased, "This time, the roles have reversed."

As if a string in his mind had snapped, Lance roared with bloodshot eyes, "Gengar, Shadow Ball!"

Isn't a major reason why Team Rocket still can't overthrow the League because these Champions have such formidable personal strength that they are difficult to deal with?
