"Snuffing out potential threats in the cradle is also a matter of safety."
"Snuffing them out? With that mouth of yours? Didn't what happened when we fought Groudon earlier wake you up?"
"So what? So we're going to run away under the excuse of 'evacuation'? Cowards!"
"Shut up! We still don't know how strong that Dark Rayquaza is, but from what we just felt, it definitely isn't much weaker than the Lord of the Sky outside. Do you want all of us buried here, living up to the name Burial Tower?"
A group of Elite Four members and Champions argued heatedly.
The situation grew increasingly intense, and they even began saying some rather discordant things.
Lance frowned and cut off everyone's argument. "Enough. That's enough.
"Since everyone's opinions are so divided, let's settle it with a vote.
"We'll gather opinions on whether to fight or evacuate, then act according to whichever side has more support."
"Hmph, evacuate? We don't even know how to get out of this damned place."
One of the trainers in favor of fighting snorted, but did not say much else. "In any case, I vote to fight. If the senior trainers who built Burial Tower could Imprison that big thing up there, there's no reason we can't do it too."
"Evacuate.
"We haven't made any preparations. Attacking rashly is highly likely to lead to an even worse situation.
"If it breaks free from the seal, the consequences will be unimaginable."
One trainer after another clearly stated their positions.
The result came quickly.
Twelve to eight.
The gap was not particularly large, but more people still preferred to make preparations before facing Dark Rayquaza.
After all, the cost of failure was simply too great.
"Since that is the case, everyone, begin searching for a way out."
