The gigantic outline of the Quasar Lightning Snake was threatening enough even when viewed from the foot of the mountain. Coming face to face with the monstrosity was indescribable to Satoshi. There were plenty of chances for her to get out of the mountain and just back down from the upcoming head-on match against the Quasar Lightning Snake. However, it's not every day that Satoshi got to meet a Representative, that's why he didn't hesitate at all.
An intense thunderstorm surrounded the mouth of the volcano, giving it an even hellish picturesque. No one who stood here and saw the thunderstorm got to come out alive, thanks to the Quasar Lightning Snake's good eyesight and an exceptional sense of smell.
Even with all these cards stacked against him, Satoshi didn't back down at all. The dimensional portal that Ghast had set up was still behind him. There were plenty of chances for him to go back, but not once did he turn around.
