"Dragonite, this one's smart. Be careful!"
Xu Mu watched Oranguru warily. He had encountered one before, and it was practically a Trainer in its own right!
Sure, Greninja often took charge of Xu Mu's team, and Dragonite often played the teacher, but those were just quirks of their personalities.
They didn't actually want Xu Mu to quit being a Trainer and sit back doing nothing.
Oranguru, on the other hand, was a born rebel. It genuinely wanted to replace its Trainer and take charge itself.
There had been plenty of cases where an Oranguru knocked out its Trainer, stole the Trainer's Pokémon, and declared itself the boss!
That was why most Trainers were wary of Oranguru.
And facing one as an opponent was just as much of a headache.
"Dra?"
[It's smart?]
Dragonite seemed to remember this Pokémon and turned to ask Xu Mu.
"That's right. It's very smart. They call it the sage of the forest!"
At that, Dragonite understood.
So it's a bookworm. I get it. There's a special way to deal with bookworms.
"Dra!"
[Xu Mu, let's get started!]
Dragonite had no intention of wasting words. They might as well get straight to it!
Xu Mu understood what Dragonite meant.
When fighting a bookworm, they couldn't drag things out and give it time to scheme!
"Dragonite, fly up, then use Dragon Dance! Rampage and Outrage!"
Xu Mu had one goal: end this quickly.
Fly up where Oranguru couldn't reach, then use Dragon Dance.
After that, charge straight in and finish the fight.
A standard tactic. Nothing wrong with it.
Under Oranguru's helpless gaze, Dragonite took to the sky.
Dragon Dance, six times!
Outrage plus Rampage!
When Dragonite came plunging down, Oranguru panicked a little.
Seeing a red-glowing Dragonite drop from the sky, ready to throw a punch
