Mabel opened her eyes with the first yell of the Umbrechu. She stood up, opening her wings and keeping her eyes on the abductor, he was getting away, but she could easily overtake him. With a few wingbeats she lifted into the sky and flew forward, first diving to Charcoal to catch him if it was needed, as she noticed the attempt to fly, but she kept her eyes on the other Pokémon readied herself to quickly overtake him and save Ixia.

"Most people do take it off, but you don't have to if you'd rather keep it on," Mindy said. "Just let them scan the price tag if you do."
