Maria showed a happy expression as she said, "Maybe, I'm just cheerful today without needing a reason to truly be."
Alex showed a small smile as he answer, "You're lucky Elise and Daniel can't hear us from here or they wouldn't be able to recognize you."
Maria nodded softly and said nothing more as if she just wanted to enjoy this quiet time with Alex.
Alex's party didn't have to wait long and a new Scyther party with weak Pokemon behind them appeared in front of them.
Alex uses telepathy to be able to talk to this Scyther. "Did you find him and his group?"
A Scyther looked at Alex and said, "don't know. Follow me and see for yourself."
Alex is already used to the direct nature of wild Pokemon and Pokemon themselves, so he just agreed with a calm tone.
He didn't know what Marco's mission is so that every minute he wastes is a minute that can cost him his victory.
Alex's group followed Scyther as they again use simultaneous reinforcement moves to power themselves up.
This is the main reason why Alex's team Pokemon defeated Janine's team's Pokemon so quickly.
Even if Alex's team was stronger than Janine's team without this buff, the Pokemons of Alex's team weren't strong enough to defeat all of the Pokemons of Janine's team in a move or two. (Elise was almost useless in this fight. It was more of a 3v2 than a 4v2.)
Alex's group just needs a few minutes to find Marco and his group. Gardevoir allowed Alex's group to remain unnoticed by Marco's group when they were within 150 meters of him.
Alex telepathically gave orders to the others. He had Elise, Daniel and Maria fight Marco's three subordinates.
He doesn't expect victory from the three because he didn't know how strong Marco's subordinates are, but he hopes that they will last at least long enough that they don't affect his fight, with Marco.
...
Alex's group ran through the forest at an extremely fast speed.
When they were only about 50 meters away from Marco, Alex's group was still in a dense forest and it was only now possible to see all the Pokemon.
Marco and his group were just moving through the forest and were relatively surprised by this attack. only relatively because Claydol warned Marco and his group when Alex's group started to run.
Alex uses the time as his Pokemon get closer to look at the information of all the Pokemon. at least all the Pokemon he could see. He didn't have enough time to look closely at all the information, so he doesn't know anything about almost all Pokemon other than the level.

Alex couldn't look at all pokemon's information so he focused on Marco's pokemon (the pokemon that are next to him) and look at the other pokemon only after looking at all of Marco's pokemon.
Marco looked at Alex with an indifferent expression as he started running away. (he is on the back of Gyarados)
His three subordinates stay and attack Alex's subordinates' Pokemon.
It was an indirect gesture that Marco wants to fight alone with Alex somewhere else.
Alex had seen all of Marco's Pokemon information and he knew his Pokemon team is stronger. and that's without the buff Alex used before to make his Pokemon even stronger.
Even if this is a trap set by Marco, he followed him deeper into the forest.
Alex didn't believe that without the help of his Pokemon, Marco could really set up such an effective trap that could defeat his Pokemon. With the rule that no Pokemon or participants can be killed, the possibilities of a trap are much smaller.
Besides that this attack was a surprise attack while Marco was walking through the woods. the probability that he had set up a trap nearby is not very high.
Marco only ran for about a minute before stopping in an area that contained only a few trees and was relatively open.
He didn't directly command his Pokemon and simply said in an emotionless tone, "Alex,...you shouldn't have appeared in front of me."
Alex doesn't immediately order an attack either and he showed a puzzled expression when Marco started talking to him.
He couldn't understand why Marco did something like that.
From the expression and tone Marco was using, Alex didn't have the feeling that the reason Marco was doing that had anything to do with tactics or a trap.
Marco didn't wait for Alex's reply and just said in an almost calm tone, " Hmm yeah, I truthfully despise that look on your and your Pokemon's faces. ...I knew this was going to happen and it's happening exactly how I expected it to transpire. HAHA, maybe it's destiny."
