The Battle Chateau, battle area.
Li Wei and Viola's battle was still ongoing.
The Hurricane Vivillon whipped up scattered the Spinning Swords Dance Lucario controlled with his aura.
That was only natural.

Meanwhile, Tailwind was still in effect.
"Dance through the air!"
A confident smile graced Viola's face.
With Tailwind and Quiver Dance aiding it, Vivillon danced
