As the saying went, "Better you die than me."
When a ghost was chasing you, you didn't have to outrun the ghost. You just had to outrun your teammates.
That was exactly what Pecharunt was thinking at that moment.
Since Ogerpon, who had displayed such tremendous power under Xia Chi's command, was unbeatable...
Then you Loyal Three can die for me!
As long as I, Pecharunt, survive, I can bring you back.
Failing that, I can always make an "Ancient Cat," a "Macho Bear," or whatever for the next batch of "Loyal Three."

Ogerpon pushed off the ground and darted
