Xia You had originally had plenty of time to wrap things up properly, but Ash and the others' rapid approach had undoubtedly disrupted his plans.
These guys always showed up when they shouldn't...
Still, there was no helping it. That was just Ash's style!
He glanced down at the ground again. Rayquaza had descended as well and was now circling at low altitude amid the billowing dust, looking down to check Palkia's condition and see whether it could still fight.
