Rumble—
Amid the unceasing thunderous din, intense Dragon Flame breath scorched the plaza's paving stones, repeatedly covering the surrounding space in an attempt to find the "vanished" Dragapult.
Fortunately, the plaza's paving stones were sturdy enough that they did not shatter under Dragon Pulse.
"Shwaa!"
The Hydreigon was not anxious after its move missed. It raised its heads toward the empty plaza, sniffed twice, then quickly turned to look left!
Bang!
An explosion rang out in the void.
Amid the blazing flames, Dragapult suddenly appeared. A pale-blue shadow shot out from above its head like a streak of lightning and charged straight toward Hydreigon!
It was so fast that Hydreigon could not react at all.
Fortunately, the moment it caught Dragapult's scent, it had already used Protect.
Boom!
The hemispherical shield of light, composed of countless hexagons, trembled violently. Dreepy could be seen wrapped in pale-blue light, trailing a long plume of smoke as it repeatedly tried to burrow into the shield like a missile.
Unfortunately, once the energy of Dragon Darts ran out, it still failed to complete its glorious mission. Instead, Hydreigon suddenly bit it and turned to toss it toward its tail.
The entangled Dreepy Little Brother began struggling frantically.
"Chiya! Chiya!"
"Ya!"

He warned her, "Your brother was caught so easily because he lacks a proper sense of danger."

Therefore, even if its involvement in the battle was limited to Dragon Darts, it still needed sufficiently capable positioning.
Otherwise,
