Dragon King, save me! (Thanks to Gengar Who Stays Up Playing on His Phone for the Top Supporter Badge!)

Despite William's hysterical roars and Rotom and the Public Security Bureau personnel below racing upward with all their might, the distance meant they could not possibly make it in time.

A burst of flame erupted in the sky. Infernape unleashed Flamethrower from his mouth, using the recoil to propel himself to William's side.

As Explosion went off, he slapped William across the face.

"Nicely done!"

Ye Qing and his Pokémon were delighted at the sight. As expected, Bro Monkey was the one to count on when it mattered!
