Tyranitar took the pincer strike head-on and fell to the ground.
Heracross and Scizor exchanged a glance, retreated some distance, then beat their wings and took to the air.
They were retreating just like that. There was no need to keep fighting now. The main goal this time had been the Star Beads, and since they had achieved it, there was no reason to keep entangling themselves.
This area was not very safe either. There were quite a few Pokémon nearby.
Tyranitar shook its head, flinging off the dirt on its head, then let out a roar at the sky.
It immediately charged out, wanting to give chase to Scizor and Heracross, but unfortunately, it was far too slow to catch them.
After chasing them for a while, it could only stop where it was and rage helplessly.
Meanwhile, Beedrill was the first to return to Eichi's side. Eichi took the pouch and praised it, "Well done. Sharp as ever."
Before long, Heracross and Scizor returned as well.
"You all did well." Then Scizor said a few things.
It wanted to keep battling Tyranitar. Since the mission had been completed, it wanted to run off and fight again.
Eichi nodded and let it go, also having it take Dragonair and Joltik along.
He himself sat down on the ground and poured out the Star Beads from the pouch.
After roughly counting them, he found there were actually fifty-two. That was far too many.
If every place where Star Beads were hidden had this many, why bother stealing other people's Star Beads? Wouldn't it be enough to search for Star Beads every day?
Eichi immediately made up his mind to prioritize searching for Star Beads, treating everything else as incidental.
Half an hour later, Scizor returned with Dragonair and Joltik.
Scizor
