Trick Room took effect almost instantly, turning Dragonite's Extreme Speed into turtle speed. The reaction force from its abrupt stop nearly made it throw up its breakfast.
Fortunately, Dragonite's physical quality was strong enough. After adapting, it switched from offense to defense and rationally stopped using Extreme Speed.
