After they finished dealing with things there, most of the people they had rescued chose not to continue training in the Mystery Realm.
They planned to press their Emergency Buttons and leave.
After all, the Mystery Realm was far too dangerous now. They weren't strong and had no trump cards, so leaving was their best option.
Lorelei, however, didn't leave. She chose to stay with Chen Shi and the others.
Lance then showed the others the way, telling them to leave through the passage they had just entered.
Once those people were gone, Steven asked, "Old Chen, where are we going next?"
At those words, everyone's gaze settled on Chen Shi.
Chen Shi's mouth twitched. "Wait, are you all planning to follow me?"
"Who else would we follow?" Steven rolled his eyes.
When that guy named Tabitha had been about to attack earlier, Steven had seen it clearly: Old Chen had pulled out a Poké Ball he'd never seen before. He definitely had another trump card.
Most importantly, staying with Old Chen meant having Jirachi's protection.
Steven wasn't an idiot. With the Mystery Realm this dangerous, why wouldn't he latch onto someone powerful?
Cynthia spoke calmly. "What? Are you that eager for me to leave?"
Chen Shi was speechless.
"That's right, Chen Shi. Tell us what to do. We'll listen to you," Diantha said with a soft laugh.
"Then let's wake up that guy named Tabitha first. He's a Team Magma admin, so he must know quite a lot."
Seeing that they were determined to follow him, Chen Shi spoke helplessly.
"Leave that to me!" The moment he heard what needed doing, Lance stepped forward.
He was already a Senior Investigator. Interrogating prisoners was child's play to him.
With that, Lance walked over to Tabitha, who was trussed up tightly.
