He is mysteriously acquainted with the two legendary Pokemon Latios and Latias.

Drawing Style
The drawings are beautiful, a kind of SD form of Pokemon, Mato probably out did himself drawing this manga!

Enjoyment
Although the manga is flipped, so regualar americans could read it better, the actual plot that Team Rocket have, and the plans to twart them made by the trainers, actually are good plots and plans! While in the T.V. show, all Satoshi does is make Pikachu use Thunderbolt, and they're finished. A very fun manga, reccomended for all ages.

Overall
Just because it's Pokemon, doesn't mean it isn't good! Scarce in stores, Pokemon Adventure is avalible here in Baka-Updates Manga, and Animewarp.be! I suggest you all to read this manga, it will be worth your while!
