"[i]We can worry about that part later once we have expelled the Rockets.[/i]" Liam telepathically added in.

"[i]Mr. Tsukiko, heads up! Billie and Kidd know that their partners guarding Brandon's assistants are KO'd. They could be expecting you.[/i]" Sherlock added in.

"Annie and Oakie are not responding," Kidd said annoyed.
 "It's probably those dragon and ninja brats." Billie sneered. "We need Atilla and Hun to go run interference. I don't know why Matori sent Biff and Cassidy to Kalos. we could use those two"
Billie and Kidd turned to look at the tied-up Brandon.
 "Not so high and mighty without your precious Regis, huh?" Billie taunted.
"You guys are fools to think you will succeed," Brandon said.
"Oh, please its not like you can do anything to us. We already took all five of your Pokémon." Kidd added.

"Psyduck, use Psychic!" Heracles was flung into a wall, but charged forward with Brick Break, earning the win. He turned around to see a trainer approaching the fake Shiranui to battle. Thinking quickly, Liam lied and told them that all of his friend's Pokémon were resting from some tough battles, and that he was just there to cheer Liam on. He was hoping Zorro would nod to collabearte the lie.
