"Boom!"
The instant after they vanished, the sand on the ground suddenly erupted, and an enormous, ferocious Steelix burst out!
He looked around, his already dim brain unable to figure out how the prey that had been right there a moment ago had suddenly disappeared.

The moment Ye Qing appeared, he heard a wail, then saw an extremely theatrical scene.
A man with a gauze covering over his face had all four limbs wrapped tightly around a Malamar, while unconscious wild Pokémon lay all around them.
