The Plate was in hand.
Basculegion no longer had any use.
Shiny Milotic ruthlessly cast it aside, making Iscan run over in distress to check its injuries.
However, Basculegion had barely suffered any damage.
It had even less interest in Iscan, who was concerned about it. Howling, it "swam" toward Baimu, who was stirring the large pot. Its massive body swayed from side to side as it effortlessly squeezed past Walrein and the Sealeo.
