"Balk!"
Nick's lips trembled. He stared at this enemy, wishing he could devour his flesh and drink his blood!
"Damn it."
Ye Qing gritted his teeth. If he let Diancie out now, Balk would be on his guard afterward, and taking Sky City would no longer be so easy.
But if he did not let Diancie out, their entire group would probably meet their end here.
"Ba-ga-boo!"
At that critical moment, Magearna stood up beside Volcanion, aimed its left hand at Balk and its right at the dungeon wall, and unleashed Fleur Cannon from both at once!
"Block it!"
Balk's expression changed drastically. He had never imagined that Magearna, who had never fought before, could now use moves. Caught off guard, he was blasted back again and again.
"Our chance!"
Both Ye Qing and Nick's side reacted quickly, and Flygon swiftly appeared beside Nick.
By then, a huge opening had also been blasted through the dungeon wall. Garchomp and Gardevoir immediately took everyone flying out through the breach.
However, having to carry Volcanion greatly slowed Gardevoir's flight.
"What a pity. So close. You were so close to breaking through my defenses."
Balk walked out from behind his six Pokémon and smiled at Ye Qing and Nick.
"Since you're here, you might as well stay. Soul-Heart will belong to me in the end, and I will rule the world! Hahahaha!"
Laughing maniacally, Balk rode on Mega Salamence's back in pursuit of Ye Qing.
As far as he was concerned, once they had boarded Sky City, there was no way they could escape his grasp!
"Fine, then let's fight!"
When Ye Qing saw that Magearna could use Fleur Cannon, he gained some confidence.
It was a Fairy-type move. If Mega Salamence and Mega Charizard X dared come close, they would get beaten
