Thud!
As Gyarados's massive body crashed down, its tremendous weight slammed into the ground, making the earth beneath everyone's feet shudder.
Whew, after all that effort, and even collapsing a Team Rocket research facility, it was finally over...
Still... so many Pokémon had ganged up on one rampaging Gyarados, and several had even been knocked out. It would be rather embarrassing if word got out.
After all, they weren't wild Pokémon, but genuine mainstays that their Pokémon Trainers had spent a long time raising!
Fortunately, Will and Karen, two future members of the Elite Four, had been there to help. If they had all been International Police officers like Looker instead, who knew how many casualties there would have been today? At least dozens of Pokémon would probably have gone down, perhaps even hundreds!
But judging by the level of their Pokémon, the two were indeed still a little short of reaching Elite Four standards. It seemed Will and Karen needed more time to hone their Pokémon's fighting strength.
Xia You walked up to Gyarados's head. After exposure to those radio waves, its body had grown tremendously, and its enormous head was almost as tall as Xia You!
Although Gyarados was scorched all over, it had not lost consciousness. It merely lay helplessly on the ground, its eyes half-open in utter exhaustion.
Fortunately, the madness was gone from its gaze. It seemed to have returned to normal.
Xia You could also sense its former gentleness in its eyes, and at the sight, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Calmed down now? You... even if you didn't mean to, you still caused everyone a lot of trouble..."
The battle just now reminded Xia You of when Gyarados had first evolved from Magikarp. It had gone berserk like this back then
