"Dragonite, that's enough."
Xu Mu stopped Dragonite when he heard the referee's call.
After all that training, Dragonite could enter its Rampage and Outrage state while staying perfectly clearheaded.
It could leave that state whenever it wanted.
The only drawback was that the state awakened Dragonite's fighting instincts, making it violent despite itself.
"Yoo!"
Dragonite took a deep breath and tossed Serperior onto the ground like a piece of trash.
The red glow around its body slowly faded. Dragonite left its Rampage and Outrage state and returned to its studious self.
As soon as the attacks stopped, the tournament medical team hurried over with a stretcher and rushed Serperior to the ICU.
If they got there any later, the little snake might not make it...
"Xu Mu, I'll never forgive you!"
Kuoye's teeth chattered with rage. He had never imagined his beloved Serperior would be beaten this badly!
Xu Mu and Dragonite!
I'll make you both pay!
Roaring inwardly, Kuoye sent out his next Pokémon. "Lapras!"
"Beat that Dragonite! We have to avenge Serperior!"
Lapras were gentle Pokémon, friendly toward humans and not particularly eager to fight.
Kuoye's Lapras, however, was different.
Like a certain trainer's Heracross, it loved a fight!
Lapras had seen Dragonite thrash Serperior from inside its Poké Ball.
Now it was time to avenge its partner!
"Wooo!"
Lapras gave a long cry, its eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
It stared at Dragonite and declared, "I could beat ten Dragon-type Pokémon like you in a year!"
Dragonite had already returned to its usual studious temperament. The sudden threat left it momentarily stunned.
Was this Lapras some distant relative of Xu Mu's Snorlax?
"Yoo-hoo!"
Xu Mu, did you hear that? This one's talking big!
Xu Mu laughed too.
This Lapras was something else. It really knew how to
