"Oh, daddy. Come out wherever you are~"
Leaf had made it to Celadon and to the lair that Byte had informed her of. While she would usually try to make way to get there and sneak through all on her own, Archer was not someone she wished to be subtle for. No, she wanted him to KNOW that she's coming...
Thus, she did enlist the help of Meredith and Jörmungandr. Meredith stationed within the game center itself towards the entrance. If he were to try to flee and make it for the main exit, Meredith would find and catch him. Jörmungandr, meanwhile, surveyed the wider city. Using his flight and keen eyes, the black Rayquaza would spot and stop him were he to find some other way to flee within the city limits. As such, all Leaf had to do was to hunt him down here.
"What's wrong, daddy? Don't you want to see your precious daughter again? Don't you wanna have a family talk, hm?"
Not a single grunt that she came across was spared, and not one of them stood a chance, either. Mewtwo, Zekrom, and Galarian Zapdos were enough to completely wipe the floor against anyone that she came across, so much so that the Eevee on her shoulder never had to hop off, and her Moltres and Venusaur were still chilling, too.
"Don't you miss me? Don't you want to catch up after you abandoned me for so many years? After you keep eluding me? Come on, I just want to talk."
She's reaching the furthest depths of the lair. She does not want to just talk.
