"Elesa!"
"Gym Leader Camomile!"
Anabel and Looker both sighed in relief. At last, a dependable ally had arrived in time.
"A Gym Leader..."

"Hmph, ignorant fools."
Gero snorted contemptuously. "It doesn't matter. We seem to be almost finished anyway."
He glanced at the cabin entrance, which remained completely blocked.

Vio's eyes flickered. He understood what Gero meant.

Meanwhile, Dian finally entered the Airship's cabin during the brief moment when Gigalith and Jellicent were under attack.
But the sight before him made
