A Battle of Drama Queens

And so, a bizarre all-out battle began.

On one side was Sato, holding nothing back as he sought to take the opportunity to weaken his opponent.

On the other was Grandma Long, whose intentions ran deep as she deliberately went easy on him to make Sato carried away.

Thus, what should have been a match where Sato got ground into the floor somehow ended up feeling evenly matched.

In the first round, Sato sent out his Elite Peak Zweilous, while Grandma Long sent out the relatively ordinary Druddigon.

But "relatively ordinary" was only relative. Druddigon's Pseudo-Elite Four Peak strength was entirely genuine.

But its trainer wanted to slack off!

"Druddigon, use Bite!"

"Druddigon, use Scratch!"

Druddigon had originally gathered power for a stronger Dragon Pulse, but forcibly held it back and used Dragon Rage instead—a move that looked powerful but had fixed damage.

Zweilous, meanwhile, was different. Taking advantage of Grandma Long's desire to let him win, Sato often even abandoned defense and simply unleashed a relentless barrage of attacks.

Dragon Pulse, Earth Power, Aqua Tail, Draco Meteor...

By the time Zweilous collapsed from exhaustion, Druddigon on the field was also covered in wounds, its eyes full of frustration and fury.

"Honchkrow, it's your turn to enter the field!"

Red light flashed, and Sato sent out Honchkrow before once again pressing the attack without mercy.

This time, afraid of making the act too obvious, Grandma Long finally began to mount a slightly effective counterattack.

But that was all.

Tailwind plus Icy Wind soon dealt tremendous damage to Druddigon.

Yet Grandma Long still went easy on it, as though she had no idea her Druddigon could use Flamethrower.

The icy wind grew colder and colder, and Druddigon became more and more frozen stiff. In the final
