Trups turned and faced Team Rocket. "It seems that you've now decided to stab me in the back," he replied with a low voice. "So be it..."
Almost immediately, the Mewtwo and Scyther sprang from within the wall and tackled the dragon pokÈmon, leaving the trio alone with the madman. Trups raises his mechanical arm at them, and the cobblestone street erupted in a wall of earth at Team Rocket...just as it was deflected to the side by a hyperbeam, belonging to Hwang's Dragonair, Bahamut.
Trups turned to see Hwang at ground level, facing him just a few yards away and armed with his dagger. "I was hoping to see you again one day," Trups sneered, with a grin, and drew a dagger very similar to his own.
Hwang uses his free hand to summon Bahamut back into his ball, and turned to glance up at Solar. "Take Misty and get out of here!" he called mentally.
"No! I'm not leaving you alone with him!"
"I won't be alone..." Hwang looks farther up to see Mewtwo and Lugia hovering above.
Solar hesitates, but then teleports Misty and himself back to the maze with the others. Luna was the first ask. "Where's Hwang?"

"Now it's time I repay you for what you did to me years ago!" Trups shouted.
Hwang twirls his dagger. "I stopped you from stealing the powers of a Latias before, and I'll be glad to do it again!"
