Chen Shi really had no way to deal with Big Goo's stubborn refusal to budge.
Wasn't Big Goo supposed to have a grudge against the Five Kings of Hisui?
Big Goo clearly had the strength to take them on, so why refuse?
He didn't get it!
Inside Avalugg's former territory, Chen Shi lay in his tent, looking utterly defeated.
"Little V, what do you think we should do?"
"Bimi?"
Victini, sitting on his stomach, paused, then shrugged indifferently.
How was Victini supposed to know?
After pondering for a moment, Chen Shi looked at Victini on his stomach and suddenly remembered something.
Ever since this little one had advanced to champion level, leveling up had depended on either waiting it out or absorbing victories.
After the battle between the Hoenn Three Gods, the little one had stored all the victories absorbed, planning to digest them slowly.
As a result, Little V's leveling speed over the past two months hadn't slowed at all, reaching level 88, late champion level.
Without this little one's help earlier, Big Goo alone wouldn't have stood the slightest chance of withstanding Earthquake.
Especially after defeating Avalugg, the little one had gained another level and now stood at Champion Peak, the same level Big Goo had been at before.
If Victini could finish absorbing the victory energy stored inside, there was a good chance of breaking through to Legendary.
Then... perhaps he could take on the Five Kings of Hisui without Big Goo's help!
At that thought, Chen Shi instantly grew excited. He scooped Victini up and planted a big kiss on Victini's cheek.
"Hahaha, Little V, I knew it! When it really counts, you're the one I can rely on!"
Victini wiped the saliva off in disgust, looking thoroughly disdainful.
"Bimi?"
