On Silver Academy's main athletic field, the Gym demonstration match between Gary and Miss Jasmine officially began.
"Magneton, Tri Attack!" Jasmine struck first, preventing Young Master Mao from opening with a boost.
Buzz~ Magneton's magnets extended forward. Red, blue, and yellow energy gathered into a sphere, then shot out, propelled by powerful electromagnetic force!
Yet Young Master Mao had no intention of dodging. Clenching his right hand, he commanded, "Dratini, block it!"
Dratini's gaze turned solemn. Dragon-type energy surged around him as he charged straight into Tri Attack.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Burns, freezing, and paralysis appeared one after another.
Dratini also frowned in pain.
"Teacher Oak, what are you trying to do?" Jasmine looked at Gary in confusion.
"Pfft! That's hilarious! He calls himself an expert with skills like that? My master's way better." Little Kexia waved her arms and danced in excitement.
Bea glanced indifferently at Kexia, and the athletic field railing in her hand abruptly bent...
Kexia swallowed, carefully crouched down, and grabbed her earlobes with both hands. "Boo-hoo, X﹏X... I was only joking..."
Crack~
Just then, a sudden change occurred on the field!
A white stone suddenly appeared beneath Dratini's neck, then cracked apart!
Jasmine: Σσ(・Д・;) An Everstone?
Young Master Mao smiled. That was right-it was an Everstone.
As the child of a Pseudo-Legendary pushed to its limits, little Dratini's growth rate was hardly something to worry about being too slow.
On the contrary, Gary had worried he would evolve too quickly and deliberately delayed his evolution. The later he evolved, the more energy he would have stored.
Still, too much was as bad as too little. Dratini was now filled to the brim, and it was time to enter the next stage.
"Dratini, it's time. Advance to a higher level." Young Master Mao nodded.
"Woo~"
Dratini
