Old Man Chen revealed the Dynamax Band on his wrist and sighed helplessly. In the end, he had still fallen for his opponent's overt scheme, but he could no longer afford to worry about that.
"Vespiquen, Dynamax!"
Purple dynamax energy instantly enveloped Vespiquen's entire body. Before everyone's eyes, Vespiquen began swelling to an enormous size.
"Why?! Why do they have the power of the gods too?! I don't believe it!"
"Ah, Lord, are we all failures?! Even blasphemers like these can wield your power! Can't you spare a glance for your devout followers?!"
Vespiquen's Dynamax transformation shocked all the Thieves. They looked as though their faith had shattered, but that was just as well. It was as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over their fighting spirit. They instantly wilted, seeming like entirely different people.
"Chen Huan, Chu Xin, so this is where you are!"
Flying through the air on Garchomp, Ai Xing finally found the two of them. Garchomp slammed heavily into the ground, and the pressure radiating from the Pokémon instantly frightened the surrounding Mightyena into retreating.
"Wow, an Elite Four member is here! We're finally saved!"
Sitting in the vehicle, Li Xing cried with joy when she saw Ai Xing arrive. She had almost thought the Thieves were going to capture her again!
Once Chu Xin saw Ai Xing arrive, exhaustion washed over his entire body. He could finally get some proper rest.
Chu Xin waved a hand and recalled Xiao Wu, who was just as exhausted.
"You carry on. I'm going to rest for a bit."
With that, he climbed into the off-road vehicle.
Ai Xing turned to look at the crowd of Thieves. There were even more of them here than at the bases he had raided in the north and south.
