Facing these wild Pokémon that had been injected with special drugs by the poachers and forced into a suicidal charge, many of the rangers showed looks of pity.
However, the middle-aged man at the center of the formation remained resolute. Though a trace of pity flashed through his eyes as well, the responsibility on his shoulders quickly suppressed it.

The glow of Helping Hand flowed like milky-white rivers, gathering before dozens of Pokémon
