Such quick reflexes!
The spectators marveled as the two Dreepy dodged on their own.
The commentator shouted, "Arcanine's Play Rough missed! The Dreepy pulled off an evasive maneuver in an instant! Dragon Darts is still in progress!"
And he was right.
The two Dreepy climbed sharply, trailing long, deep-blue flames behind them. Like fighter jets, they suddenly rolled sideways, looping around in a wide circle without changing their flight path.
"Yip—"
"Yip!"
They shot toward Arcanine, whose claws were losing their pink glow.
Kabu swept out a hand and shouted, "Dodge with Extreme Speed!"
"Arf!"
Arcanine roared in response, but chaining moves together simply wasn't that fast. Besides, the Rock Field offered few places to land safely.
It had to adjust its posture before touching down.
The Dreepy Siblings seized that opening. Rolling again to maintain their sideways angle, they split left and right and drove the last of their Dragon Flame into Arcanine's waist!
There was no escape!
Kabu could only watch as Arcanine's forepaws touched a jutting stone pillar—just before Dragon Darts slammed into its waist!
Bang! Bang!
Brilliant blue flames exploded!
"Whine!"
Arcanine whimpered amid the dust. The Dreepy Siblings had put to use everything they'd learned from the senior members of their team—
How to strike canine Pokémon hard, targeting their weak points to cripple them.
The Hound Team had taught Aggron, Blissey, and Mawile how to beat up dogs efficiently. Through stories of past battles, they had passed that knowledge on to the teammates who joined later.
"Arcanine!"
Kabu clenched his fists. He had never imagined the Dreepy, mere supporting players in this battle, could be so troublesome. He hurriedly ordered, "Use Morning Sun!"
But then—
A ghostly dragon appeared nearby. It opened its mouth slightly, gathering surging waves of luminous blue light.
