Hu Bin had said that specifically for Dragonair to hear, sounding as smug as he possibly could!
Dragonair curled its lip. What's so great about that?
After hanging a thoroughly bewildered Magikarp on the hook, Froakie quietly slipped away and climbed onto the roof of the vehicle, its mission accomplished!
Hearing Hu Bin call out, Froakie blended seamlessly into Ninetales's group, acting as though nothing had happened, and approached Hu Bin with the others, looking curious to see what he had caught!
Hu Bin pulled up the hook, and a utterly bewildered Magikarp flew into the air!
Hu Bin said happily, "Oh, a Magikarp! Nice, very nice!"
Inside, Hu Bin was giving Froakie countless thumbs-ups. You're so reliable, Froakie!
Dragonair looked utterly unconvinced, its mouth puffed out like a steamed bun as it glared angrily at Hu Bin!

Back in the sea, Magikarp still wore that same vacant, clueless expression. What just happened? Who am I? Where am I?
Just then, something stirred at Dragonair's tail too. Dragonair lifted its tail, revealing a Sharpedo clamped onto it!
It looked ready to have dinner!
Dragonair froze. Hu Bin froze. Ninetales and the others froze too!
Thinking back to the Magikarp Hu Bin had just caught, then looking at the Sharpedo Dragonair had hooked, the two clearly weren't in the same league!
Zeraora reacted in time, sending out a mild electric current that made Sharpedo release Dragonair's tail and fall back into the sea!
Once Dragonair recovered, it became unbearably smug. *So what if you caught something before me? What's the
