"Dr-Dragonite went down?"
Tanie and her friends were dumbfounded.
Mega Dragonite was Xanthia's ace Pokémon. Even when facing Fairy-type Pokémon, it often did not fall behind.
It had even contributed greatly in the battle against Yuzi.

Otherwise, a battle with such a huge disparity in strength would be pretty boring, wouldn't it?
Thus—
A friendly match swiftly turned
