After strolling through the entire Dongmen Town and enjoying a wide variety of Pokémon performances—which were completely different from the visual feast of a Pokémon Contest, focusing instead on pure entertainment—they returned to the Pokémon Center. There, Chen Ming rather awkwardly dialed the contact number Lance had previously given him.
He briefly filled Lance in on Team Rocket’s recent major maneuvers, specifically how they had quietly abducted numerous Pokémon researchers.
On the other end of the line, Lance said, "A-Ming, the information you and your group provided is immensely useful. Thank you so much! I’ve gone undercover there, but I barely have any time to gather intelligence. Team Rocket gives completely different, disconnected plans to each of their units, so even if you want to ask around, there's simply nowhere to look."
