On the azure sea, Anabel stood on the coast guard ship's deck, scanning the water with binoculars. Before long, a shark-shaped submarine surfaced and sped toward them.
Lowering her binoculars, she turned and called to the people behind her, "They're here! Get ready to lift them aboard!"
Needless to say, the approaching submarine was the one carrying Xia You and Shelly.
As for how Xia You had persuaded Shelly to change course and meet Anabel halfway, all that could be said was that he had used some forceful measures, reminding Shelly of exactly who was in charge!
The submarine gradually slowed, coming to a complete stop in front of the coast guard ship.
The well-trained coast guards quickly got to work, hooking the submarine and hoisting it upward.
As they rose, Xia You looked out through the submarine's window and spotted Archie's and Matt's submarines far in the distance, not daring to approach.
Apparently, despite losing his cool, Archie clearly still lacked the courage to take on a coast guard ship head-on.
Compared to Team Rocket, you still had a ways to go!

Although they had escaped Archie's pursuit, the matter had not truly been resolved.
Xia You turned his gaze in another direction, where a far greater crisis urgently needed attention!
Thanks to his interference, Archie had neither captured Kyogre nor triggered its Primal Reversion. But he had indeed enraged it, so after awakening, Kyogre had left the cave where it lived and unleashed a terrifying whirlpool in these waters!
The sea was merciless, and so was Ocean's incarnation.
Perhaps it had not targeted these intruders at all, merely stirring up the waves unintentionally. Or perhaps it really had wanted to teach these humans and their followers a lesson. Either way, the whirlpool had formed.
Just how terrifying
