Just as the main doors were blasted open, a black shadow flashed over everyone's heads and rushed to George's side at an extremely fast speed, blocking Jellicent's Psychic.
It was Sharpedo!
In terms of speed, Sharpedo was practically unbeatable after two rounds of its Speed Boost Ability! The sudden explosion also caused the people below the stage to instinctively move toward both sides of the hall, conveniently clearing the entire central aisle.
Eight figures slowly emerged from the thick smoke.
As the smoke and dust dispersed, it was undoubtedly Sato and the others.
Their uniform outfits, ice-cold gazes, and the six fully stocked Poké Balls at each of their waists all indicated that they were not here with good intentions!
Sato, Mark, Si'nan, Si'an, Kinoshita Ming, Ponyo, Sosuke, and a blue-haired girl who was presumably a new member of the Dark Night Gym.
George stared dumbfounded at the eight people who had suddenly barged in, his heart abruptly tightening. His eyes, which had not reddened even when pointed at by thousands, were now already brimming with tears against his will.
But the next moment, George remembered Mars's Elite Four level strength and could not help worrying about Sato and the others.
Still, being rational, he did not utter some melodramatic line like, "You need to leave. Don't worry about me."
While everyone was still stunned, George climbed onto Sharpedo's back with Florges and Gallade.
Whoosh! Sharpedo used Aqua Jet, carrying one person and two Pokémon as it flew toward Sato.
"Talonflame, Aerial Ace!"
Huo Guan Ryan, who had reacted the fastest, sent out an extremely fast Talonflame and directly ordered it to attack Sharpedo.
But Talonflame was soon blocked by a blue Aura Sphere. Huo Guan followed its trajectory and discovered that the Aura Sphere had come from a Lucario.
