Back with Xia You.
To catch this show in time, they picked up the pace. After leaving the main road, they crossed every stretch of difficult terrain with their Pokémon's help.
Xia You could actually have ridden a flying Pokémon like Charizard or Dragonite straight there, but he abandoned that idea at the thought of being spotted by Team Galactic and decided to take a safer route up the mountain instead.
There was no rush, anyway. Team Galactic's main force had yet to arrive, which meant Cyrus was not ready either.
