"I want to go with you!"
When Pheobe heard that Xia You intended to pursue Team Magma alone, her expression grew serious, and she immediately declared that she would accompany him.
But although she wanted to go, Xia You did not want to take her.
"You should stay here and help Misty put out the fire. Although Misty has all Water-type Pokémon, there are too few of them to handle a blaze like this. Having you here to help will make things easier for her."
Hearing Xia You's words, Pheobe turned to look at the flames around them.
The fire stretched on and on, now burning at its fiercest. Both her grandparents' house and the area around the Stone Shrine had been completely swallowed by flames. If they allowed the fire to keep spreading, it would certainly engulf the entire summit of Mt. Pyre.
If things really reached that point, they could rename Mt. Pyre Mt. Burning Fire.
They really could not delay any longer.
The only good news was that the summit was an isolated area, surrounded by bare cliffs, so the fire could not spread down the mountain. Still, they had to beware of strong winds blowing embers off the summit and starting widespread fires.
With a sigh, Pheobe nodded. "All right, but be careful. Those Team Magma members aren't easy to deal with. Just follow them for now. Once we've put out the fire, we'll come join you, and then we'll take them on together!"
Judging by their performance earlier, this man's Pokémon were indeed outstanding. Not only had they denied Team Magma any advantage in battle, but several times, it had been thanks to him that they had broken the stalemate.
This also made Pheobe realize that Xia You might be no weaker than she was.
