Volcanion and Master Hu

With everything explained, they had to move at full speed.

A swift charge would seize the initiative.

Without hesitation, Yan Yang swung onto Entei's back. "Let's go!" he said in a low voice.

Entei gave a steady response and raced toward Saffron City.

Some might ask: why not use Cosmog to teleport instantly?

None of them had ever set foot in Saffron City. Cosmog's teleportation required spatial coordinates or an impression of the destination. Faced with a completely unfamiliar place, he could do nothing.

Fortunately, it was not too far away.

From the plateau where they currently were, they only needed to return to Ambrette Town, then head north through the regions of two towns to reach their destination.

At Entei's full speed, arriving in the afternoon would be more than enough.

There was no need to worry about Yan Yang on his back. Years of companionship and coordination had long since accustomed him to Entei's wind-like top speed. He could lower himself steadily and feel the wind howling past his ears.

Perhaps even Second Uncle was no longer as fast as his father at full speed.

Along the way, he had considered dropping Pyroar off at the grasslands, but quickly dismissed the thought.

The mist over the plateau had dispersed, and the path down was clearly visible. With Pyroar's intelligence, finding his way home should not be difficult, right?

Even if he truly could not recognize the roads, there were still so many native Pokémon familiar with the terrain, as well as Yan Yang's own Pokémon, who could guide him.

Thus, Yan Yang finally set his mind at ease, letting Entei push his speed to the limit as they headed straight for that mist-shrouded destination.

Meanwhile, north of Saffron City, deep within a Secret Base hidden inside the mountains.
