As everyone chatted over one another, Nalu suddenly spoke up. "You guys keep talking. I have something to take care of, so I'll head out first."
"Hmm?" Chong Wensen asked curiously. "What is it?"
Nalu fell silent for a moment. "I'm going to see an old acquaintance..."
"But... wasn't there something off about Gamino's Z-Move?" Cao Min said in puzzlement. "I remember using those things being pretty troublesome, with dancing and shouting cringeworthy lines and all. And is that what a Dragon-type Z-Move looks like?"
"No idea. How many times do we even get to see Z-Moves? Maybe you're remembering it wrong."

"Where are you going?"
At the familiar, cool voice, Sama Yūichi immediately
