Mimikyu was still standing there, but Sharpedo had been knocked against a boulder due to the force of Dazzling Gleam.
Roy looked over and was sowhat surprised by how much health Sharpedo still had left.
"I didn't expect that..."
Mimikyu took a few steps forward, trying to restrain Sharpedo with her moves.
Unexpectedly, Sharpedo twisted his body, looking as if he was about to unleash so kind of move.
Roy reminded Mimikyu to be careful. Mimikyu nodded, her eyes still fixed on Sharpedo.
Perhaps Sharpedo also knew there was no escape. He twisted a few tis and let out several ear-piercing cries from his mouth.
Mimikyu got a headache from listening to it and resorted to Play Rough, striking Sharpedo into an unconscious state.
At this point, Sharpedo had completely lost the ability to battle.
But as Roy looked at the fallen Sharpedo, he had an uneasy feeling in his heart.
Mimikyu was still examining Sharpedo's position, curiously prodding the Water-type's body, trying to wake the shark Pokemon up.
Why did he pass out even though he hadn't reached a critical condition yet?
Besides, Mimikyu still rembered that the task Roy had given her was to capture him alive.
Mimikyu kicked Sharpedo in frustration.
Roy thought about it and decided to leave Sharpedo alone for now, saying to Mimikyu, "Co back. Leave him be."
Then he turned around and addressed Caroline.
"We'll get you to a safe place first."
Caroline nodded. Seeing that the situation had been resolved safely by Roy, she felt relieved.
If a catastrophe had actually occurred because of her coughing, Caroline would have felt terribly guilty.
"I just..."
"It's fine. You choked on water—it's good that you were able to wake up on your own. Don't worry about it."
Roy didn't look at Caroline anymore. Right now, he was preoccupied with figuring out how to bring Caroline back to the island with Tapu Lele.
Roy hadn't caught Caroline's words, so he didn't think much of it.
Naturally, he also didn't see the abnormal blush on Caroline's face.
Mimikyu wandered from Sharpedo's side back to Roy, suddenly feeling like there was a rival for affection?
Mimikyu's eyes quickly turned to lock onto Caroline, who was behind Roy, but saw the appearance of an ice queen.
"?"
Mimikyu scratched her head, thinking she might have been mistaken.
Roy helped Caroline up from the ground and handed his jacket to her sowhat awkwardly for her to put on.
"Wear this for now. When we get back to the island, Tapu Lele should be able to arrange sothing for you."
Caroline calmly took the jacket and put it on.
"Thanks."
Roy kept averting his eyes, trying not to let himself look at the drenched woman beside him.
Caroline wrapped the jacket around her body and accidentally touched her Poke Ball.
"Where's Gardevoir? I definitely put her back in the Poke Ball!"
A rare panic appeared on Caroline's face, and she even supported herself against the wall, wanting to return to the original location.
Seeing this, Roy quickly stopped Caroline.
"Don't worry. Salance and Lucario went to rescue Gardevoir. There should be news soon."
Even though Roy said this, it was difficult for Caroline to calm down, and she insisted on going back to the seaside to look.
Roy understood Caroline's feelings very well. Seeing that her current condition was much better, he didn't try to stop her.
Just as Roy was about to take out a Poke Ball, planning to have Blastoise escort Caroline back—
Looking up again, he found that Caroline had already used Teleport and vanished without a trace.
Roy shook his head and complained.
"I don't know how a Psychic-type specialist got caught in the first place."
"Crack!"
Mimikyu, who had remained vigilant, suddenly let out a nervous cry, which brought Roy's attention back.
"What's wrong?"
Roy looked at Mimikyu and found that she was staring very nervously at a position in the sky for so reason.
There were very steep rock walls on both sides of Vast Poni Canyon, and the passable area was just a single road.
If it were any narrower, it could almost be compared to a "thread of sky."
From Roy's perspective, the azure-colored sky was like a long blue ribbon, smooth yet without borders.
Mimikyu was still looking at the sky.
"Flap..."
It seed like the sound of birds flying.
The Aura power around Roy didn't provide him with any information, so Roy subconsciously thought it had nothing to do with him.
"Maybe so Pokemon are just passing by."
Unexpectedly, after hearing Roy's words, Mimikyu shook her head.
They're getting closer!
Mimikyu's body beca more and more tense, and even Roy started feeling nervous.
Suddenly, for so reason, Roy rembered the harsh sounds that Sharpedo had desperately left behind before passing out.
That wasn't an ordinary cry, but a Normal-type move—Screech.
The purpose of Screech was to greatly reduce the enemy's defense.
Normally, this move should be followed by a more powerful attack to deliver a devastating blow.
Only then could the effect of this move be fully utilized.
But at that ti, Sharpedo had been at the end of his strength and couldn't possibly have used any offensive moves afterward.
And at that mont, Sharpedo had been holding on to release that move with one last breath.
"Could it be..."
A very unwelco thought flashed through Roy's mind.
The fluttering sound was getting closer and closer, and now Roy could hear it even without Mimikyu or his Aura power serving as an early warning.
"So many!"
The sound of flapping wings was very chaotic, clearly not just one or two—there were probably hundreds of them!
Roy held a Poke Ball, hesitating whether to release his other Pokemon.
At this mont, Roy still didn't know the exact number of Pokemon approaching.
He worried that even if he released all his Pokemon, there wouldn't be enough to make a dent against the hostile forces.
In that case, it would be better to hide sowhere before they arrived.
Roy thought of many strategies in his head in an instant and finally made up his mind to run toward the black tower with Mimikyu.
Tapu Koko, Solgaleo, and a group of other Pokemon were there—maybe they could escape the current crisis.
Mimikyu sensed Roy's thoughts instantly and rushed ahead to clear the way for him.
At this ti, those Flying-type Pokemon had arrived in the sky above Vast Poni Canyon.
The sound of flapping wings was like thunder.
They were too far away for Roy to see clearly.
