Infernape watched Urshifu dodge his ultimate move, but he was not particularly surprised.
After all.
That instant just now had not really been a good opportunity.
And he understood that Xia Yan had not intended to go all out against Urshifu.
When Urshifu had kicked Ducky away earlier, it had held back.

Mustard and his disciples appeared accustomed to this, paying it no mind.
Upon hearing Mustard's form of address, black lines appeared
