Everyone was a little frightened, but they still believed that the various Alliances and the Nirvana Organization would defeat the Ultra Beasts.
The various Alliances had also issued invitations, calling on capable Pokémon Trainers to join the operation.
Some Trainers hesitated, while others went straight to sign up.
Before long, every Alliance had filled its ranks.
In the Alola Region, having Hu Bin stationed there was an especially powerful morale boost. The people of Alola felt reassured. With Huaxia's Champion there, what did they have to fear?
Trainers were even more eager to sign up for the operation.
Over the past few days, ordinary citizens had also been safely evacuated into air-raid shelters. Everyone prayed for victory in the coming war.
Hu Bin had spent the past few days traveling between Alola's islands, making preparations and planning their strategy.
He was run off his feet every day and got less than four hours of rest, all so they could minimize their losses!
Watching their Trainer work himself ragged broke Ninetales and the others' hearts.
But it also strengthened their resolve. They had to win this battle.
Ninetales and the others trained even harder.
On the last day before the great battle, all of Alola was quiet, with scarcely anyone in sight. But everyone knew that once today was over, tomorrow would be anything but peaceful.
Hu Bin sat at the head of the Meeting Room, with Trainers and Elite Four members sent as reinforcements by other Alliances filling the seats before him.
Wu Geng was reporting on what they had accomplished over the past few days.
"Everyone in every region has been evacuated. Thankfully, we built plenty of air-raid shelters and refuges in each region beforehand, just in case. Now we won't have to worry about the civilians."
