Team Aqua had already been on the verge of collapse, but when Shelly saw this opportunity, she gritted her teeth and ordered an all-out attack.
The situation no longer allowed her to consider so many things.
They could either slink away and accept defeat, just as they had before.

Retreating meant all their efforts just now would come to nothing. Not only would they suffer serious losses, but their morale would also take a devastating blow.

"Lady Courtney, what should we do now?"
Courtney considered for a moment.
Now that all of Xia You's Pokémon had returned to his side, his strength was greater than ever. Without Team Aqua's people keeping him occupied, defeating and capturing him
