"Roar!"
Slaking sprang out from behind. He had been lingering around the designated spot for a long time, and had hurried over after catching his trainer's scent.
Looking at the two gravely injured Pokémon, Ye Qing took out two Poké Balls and recalled Slaking and Infernape, then released Milotic to carry everyone toward the forest.
Carbink and Diancie were too slow. At this rate, the enemy would catch up sooner or later.
"Mii~"
Milotic used Rain Dance, weaving through the pouring rain like a flood dragon.
"Report! The target has left the villa!"
"What? What about my Diancie?!"
At the news, Dabu grabbed his subordinate by the collar and demanded an answer, his eyes wide!
He had hastily ordered Zebstrika to use Thunder earlier, but it had all happened in an instant, and he hadn't seen clearly whether the other party had taken Diancie away.
"G-gone..."
The man giving the report was so frightened his legs went weak. You can't blame me for this.
"Useless! All of you, after him!"
Dabu kicked the man in front of him to the ground and ordered his men to bring Stoutland and continue tracking Ye Qing's lingering scent.
Milotic swam swiftly through the air, but Talonflame's piercing cries soon sounded around them.
Ye Qing knew Milotic couldn't match their speed, so he had her land nearby in the forest.
"Keep running."
Ye Qing took out the Healing Spray and treated Carbink's and Diancie's injuries, then led everyone swiftly deeper into the forest.
"Did the elder send you to rescue me?"
Diancie remembered the story she had heard as a child about a prince rescuing a princess. Wasn't what she was experiencing now just like the story?
"Yes."
Ye Qing hadn't expected this girl to be so curious, still having the mind to think
