ID Sayaka: Ah, maybe having Lilligant by your side gave me a few extra thoughts.
When they first met, Sayaka had said she was injured while training in the mountains. A forest fire had broken out, trapping her in the flames and leaving vivid red burn scars on her face.
Sayaka had fewer companions with her then: only the Fomantis sisters before they evolved, and a regular Lilligant.

The Lilligant who had perished here in the Mega Evolution World Line probably truly had no chance of being saved.
Shen Qi had encouraged Sayaka during the Goldenrod Festival. He had given her such tremendous encouragement at their very first meeting, and Sayaka had always held it close to her heart.
