After indulging his own mischievous streak, Chen Shi told the little one to take out the Spooky Plate Projection and return it to Dragapult.
Then he carried her out of the cave and found Zoroark waiting anxiously outside.
The moment the little one saw her mother, she squirmed out of Chen Shi's arms, jumped down, and raced into Zoroark's embrace.
