You forget something. Jellal reached Erza before the battle against Dimaria began. Not afterwards.

Dimaria was also exerting her MP, Neinhart was not. The former would have been far more noticeable than Erza or Neinhart. Even without scouting, Jellal should have made a beeline for Dimaria, not Erza.
