Xiao Wu finally passed Dragonite's trial. Blue flames appeared over Xiao Wu's body, and Xiao Wu slowly opened its eyes, feeling unexpectedly reassured at the sight of Chu Xin unharmed.
Just then, Dragonite appeared before Chu Xin and Xiao Wu again. This time, there were no blue flames, only a projection.
"Go. Use my power to stop Eternatus from descending."
With that, Dragonite's will fully attached itself to Xiao Wu's Outrage scale.
Everything around them began to shatter, and Chu Xin and Xiao Wu slowly woke up.
"You're awake, Chu Xin! You had us worried sick!"
Chu Xin looked up and saw that Li Xing was taking care of him. He looked at her in shame. At such a dangerous time, he still needed someone else to look after him. He really was dragging everyone down!
"Sorry. I let you down."
Chu Xin stood up, stretched his limbs, and looked at Xiao Wu beside him. Xiao Wu slowly opened its eyes as well. It was awake too.
Before Chu Xin could figure out what was happening around him, Chen Huan suddenly appeared before him. He looked surprised to see Chu Xin awake, but quickly regained his composure.
"Good, you're awake. Since you're up, let's get out of here!"
Chu Xin looked at Chen Huan in confusion.
"Why are we leaving? Aren't we supposed to stop Elvis's plan?"
Chen Huan shook his head helplessly.
"We failed. Gengar used the power of Dynamax to barely hold off Ai Xing and me. As the Space Rift expanded, that mysterious Pokémon started emerging from it. We lost this time."
Chen Huan took Chu Xin's hand.
"We have no way of fighting a Pokémon that powerful. Staying here would only get in the way, so we should leave now. Let Ai Xing handle things here."
