All the preparation done, the large group of pokemon follow Roserade and Rhyperior deeper into the dungeon...
Much like Platina, Roserade dons a pair of X-Ray Specs, looking around carefully for items and wild pokemon as the trees close in, forming the typical walls, rooms, and passages of a Mystery Dungeon.
And both of them are the first to spot trouble brewing. Roserade has to take off her X-Ray specs briefly and clean them with a scarf she's wearing, then put them back on to make sure she's not seeing things.
"Oh dear. That's not good. Not good at all."
Through the walls formed of trees, both Platina and Roserade can see a gigantic snake pokemon coiled in the center of a room. Dark, shadowy clouds tinged with red energy swirl over its head, and a low, menacing hisssssssss can be heard echoing through the passageways. There are no items nor other wild pokemon on this floor. No sign of Gallade yet either.
Roserade takes an orb out of her bag and smashes it. It doesn't appear to have much of an effect at first, but Roserade focuses for a moment, as if looking for something. Platina's not sure what Roserade's looking for or why she used that orb initially, but it doesn't take long for Roserade to find whatever it is the X-Ray Specs weren't showing her.
"...I was afraid of that." Rhyperior gives Roserade a questioning glance as the flower pokemon turns to address everyone.
"Well, what'd that Stairs Orb show you? Where's our exit?"
"It's being blocked by a giant Sandaconda. Unusual to see a rare pokemon like that here, if I'm being honest. It's far too large though. Maybe ten times your height, Rhyperior. And it's surrounded by clouds of that dark energy we encountered earlier."
"...and we're going to need to fight our way past it while Gallade's dealing with who knows what. Fun."
Roserade pauses for a moment, crossing her arms as she ponders what to do.
...and then she has an idea.
"Well technically, we don't all need to fight it..."
She looks at both team Omega Seekers and Team Night Wardens, then at all of the other assembled pokemon.
"I think it's going to take almost all of us to take down that giant snake in a timely manner. It looks incredibly durable, and it's large enough that it could easily stop a large group of pokemon from getting past it. Smaller groups might be able to sneak past while it's preoccupied though."
"Hold up, are you suggesting that we send these kids deeper into the dungeon to potentially face Landorus alone? They've not even evolved, Roserade!"
"And yet, they managed to take down Tornadus and Thundurus because there are humans among their number. I think they could manage to defeat Landorus as well with their combined strength, especially if they find Gallade and enlist his aid. Or at the very least, hold the Legendary pokemon off until we can get there."
Rhyperior shakes his head, still skeptical. "Listen, I know humans have pulled off some pretty crazy feats before as unevolved pokemon, but isn't this a bit much?"
Roserade turns to Teams OS and NW. "Well, how about we hear their thoughts on this? This next foe looks like it'll be incredibly powerful. Maybe a bit too much for your current forms. But if you wish to fight together with us instead of splitting up, I would not fault you for that. I would feel better though if you continued on and looked for Gallade while the rest of us distract the snake. We must find him as soon as possible. And while I'm confidant that you could fight Landorus on somewhat equal terms if you encounter him, this giant Sandaconda might be a bit...rough to fight, if I'm being honest. It will likely be a long, drawn out battle, and something of that size will probably be incredibly powerful as well as resilient."
"Alright, I'll bite, even though I'm worried about these kids' safety. What do you all want to do, huh? Fight the giant snake with all of us, or sneak on ahead and keep looking for Gallade on your own until we catch up?"
