Seeing his own lackey lose his nerve-wasn't that a slap in his face?
Haxorus sent Scrafty tumbling with a swipe of his tail. He might have been meek and submissive in front of Ye Qing, but he always ruled his own lackeys with an iron fist!
After that beating, Scrafty immediately behaved himself and briskly led the way.
"Diancie, you and Aerodactyl stay here. The rest... forget it, Slaking, Azurill, and Milotic should stay here too. Everyone else, come with me."
Ye Qing felt his team was too cumbersome. They were only dealing with a few Pokémon; there was no need to mobilize everyone.
"Mi."
Milotic was the first to agree. The forest here was very dense, and her large body made moving around inconvenient anyway.
"Roar!"
Just as the team was about to set off, Aerodactyl suddenly raised his hand, indicating that he wanted to join the operation too!
I came here to find myself a harem, he thought. If I stay here lugging a Crystal around every day, when will I ever get a chance to find a wife?
Actually, he had come to terms with it. As the saying went, there were countless female Pokémon in the world, so why should he pin all his hopes on just one?
"All right, come along, then. Give the Crystal to Milotic."
Ye Qing agreed without giving it much thought. After all, Aerodactyl had contributed a lot along the way. He couldn't keep exploiting him forever, could he?

Once Psyduck saw that Diancie wasn't coming, he immediately stopped competing for a chance to show off. He simply followed behind
