It was hard to tell which of the two Pokémon was in better shape.
Yong and Elite Four Drake stared intently at their partners, watching them struggle on the battlefield, trying to get up.
Both were extremely weak now. Flygon possessed Second Stage [Origin of the Dragon], and being a Dragon-type Pokémon itself, its Dragon-type moves were even more powerful!
