Yu Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief, taking her grandmother’s hand. The hypnosis was complete, but the argument that followed should have happened right after this. Was there any chance to catch a glimpse of what really occurred?
Two down, two to go. Their already stretched thin forces were now even less capable of resisting Giovanni of Team Rocket. In Giovanni’s eyes, these members of the Dragon Tamer clan were already cripples; excluding Lance, whose whereabouts as the mastermind remained unknown, the four who represented the clan's physical strength were as good as broken.
