Maractus wanted to say something, but only a low, rustling chime came out.
She knew there was a gap between her and Espeon that she could never bridge in her lifetime.
Go on back.
Lilligant could not bear to see her friend remain under that mental strain. Get some rest.
Mm. I feel much better after opening up to you.
That's good.
Turning toward Shen Qi, Maractus bowed slightly, the rustling sound resembling an ancient folk instrument being played.
Thank you too, Shen Qi.
After Chansey translated, Shen Qi waved his hands repeatedly. "You're too kind. We gained even more by getting into the Construction Site Racetrack."
Looking back with a smile to say goodbye to everyone, Maractus drove off first in the Big Yuanbao.
Lilligant cast a somewhat resentful look at the neighboring Service Bay, where the lights were still on.
Espeon and the Rose Champagne were inside. Lilligant wanted to beat them, to win some pride back for Maractus, and to get the prize money...
But the opposition was too strong. Unbeatable.
Even if Janine competed this time, with Crobat and Tentacruel working together to block the route, they still could not stop the Rose Champagne.
"It's all right." Shen Qi patted Lilligant. "One day, we'll be evenly matched with those drivers with deep pockets. We might even... get the upper hand."
Yes!
After making a few final adjustments to some of the Flower Crown's components, Lilligant climbed into the cockpit.
Shen Qi recalled Chansey and was just about to get in when he saw a blue ellipsoid swaying outside.
Psywave Fluctuations generated by the Psychic type conveyed a message.
You haven't left yet?
It was Wobbuffet.
Wobbuffet wore oil-stained gloves and had that same ever-cheerful look.
"We're just about to leave."
Oh, I came to apologize.
Wobbuffet
