Under Dragonair's Extreme Speed, Samence crashed straight into the ground, creating a massive pit about seven ht meters wide. Yet, Samence wasn't down for the t; in fact, the impaly seemed to fuel its inner rage.
"Roar!"
With bloodthirsty eyes, Samence gred at Dragonair, who floated gracefully in the air above.
"Extreme Speed... your Dragonair actually ied that?" Ian said, disbelief clear in his voice.
Extreme Speed was a rare move, and while it didn't give Dragonair a huge adva, o evolved into would be a game-ger.
Dragonite was already known for incredible speed, but addireme Speed would elimis only real shorting.
The thing about Extreme Speed was that Dragonite couldn't learn it through normal means—it had to be passed dowically.
And the odds of iing it were slim, almost like hitting the lottery.
In the wild or among most Pokémon, only a few species could evereme Speed, like Are or Lucario.
Both of them were just as rare as pseudo-legendaries.
So for a Dratini to i such a move? It was a jackpot.
Researchers were even studying more about these types of geic moves.
Ian knew very well how powerful a Dragoh Extreme Speed ??Move would be iure.
How had a family known for Steel-type Pokémon like the Walkers ended up with a Dragonair so superior even to those raised by dragon-specialist families like his own?
For a moment, he doubted whether Julian was a child of the Drake family.
"Dragonair, use Dragon Rush!"
Julian, unfazed by Ian's ents, gave his and calmly.
"Samence, Protect!" Ian shouted, quickly reag.
A green shield enveloped Samence just in time, blog Dragonair's rush. The two Pokémon's energies cshed violently, sparks flying as the force of the impact sent shockwaves through the air.
"Crack, crack..."
Samence's protective shield began to fracture uhe pressure.
"Hyper Beam!" Ian called out just as Samence's shield shattered.
A glowing beam burst from Samence, colliding with Dragonair's Dragon Rush mid-attack.
Protect had already ed some of the move's energy and The force of the Hyper Beam celed out the remaining energy fron Rush, leaving both Pokémon momentarily drained.
"This Dragonair is something else"
Ian muttered, realizing Samence had wo moves to bloe onair's attacks—one of those moves being a lifesaving Protect.
The sheer power behind Julian's Dragonair was astounding.
"Dragonair, Ice Beam!"
Julian seized the moment.
Samence was left frozen in pce, reeling from the exhaustion of using Hyper Beam.
The strohe Pokémon the less time it o reel in after a Hyper Beam, some really powerful ones might even ighe effect all together.
But Samence as of now couldn't do anything.
As the icy bst shot out fronair's horn, the air filled with cold, jagged energy. Icicles formed wherever the beam passed.
"Samence, dodge!" Ian yelled in desperation.
Not all Trainers were Ash, shout and Pokémon will fight back.
Samence: I 't move my body, you should have thought this through before letting me use Hyper Beam, you idiot.
But Samence was still rec from Hyper Beam, uo move. Ian could only watch as the Ice Beam struck true.
Ice-type moves were especially devastating ton-types, 4x damage, and Sameook the full brunt of the attack.
A moment ter, Samence was frozen solid, encased in ice like a statue.
"Samence is uo battle! Dragonair wins!"
Seeing that Ian lose, Tyler and Yanis were so happy that they gave each other a high five. After reag, they felt something was wrong.
"Of course he had to lose, If Ian had won, wouldn't it make us look even worse?" Luis muttered.
The two nodded in agreement.
"It's Evolving"
Someone shouted from the crowd.
In mid-air, Dragonair's slender body was suddenly enveloped in a brilliant white light. Its elegant, serpentine form started to grow rounder, bulkier, as it transformed.
When the light faded, a rge, e dragon with tiny wings and a broad belly appeared—Dragonite.
Gone was the sleek and graceful Dragonair, repced by a chubby, friendly-looking Dragonite.
Julian couldn't help but ugh at the sight of his newly evolved Pokémon. He gave Dragonite's round belly a pyful pat, and it jiggled in response.
"Better watch what you eat, or you'll get even fatter," Julian teased with a grin.

Ian's face fell as he withdrew his Samence, his mind rag with disbelief. He had not only lost, but he had been pletely outcssed. His Samence, higher in level and a true dragon-type, had beeed by Dragonair. To make things worse, Dragonair had evolved into the very moment of victory.
It was simply rubbing salt in the wound.
'If Julian's Dragonite bees famous iure, some people might say that when it was still Dragonair, it defeated someone named Ian and then evolved intonite.'
"That Dragonite is incredibly strong and its strength should be han that of the Metagross. Maybe Dragonite is his real Trump Card," Ian said with a serious face after the match.
Even though Samence was higher in level, and Ian was from a prestigious dragon family, he had still been soundly defeated. The thought stung.
"Cut the dramatics, Ian," Luis said with a knowing smile. "Lucario is his trump card, nonite."
After all, losing to someone's ace was definitely different from losing to just any Pokémon.
"Actually, it's Metagross"
Tyler and Yanis corrected.
All of them exged gnces, feeling the weight of their losses.
Even though there was one more challenger who hadn't battled Juliahey could see what was ing. Eae of them had beeed with ease, as if Julian was just warming up.
They all looked towards the st challenger.
"Why bother?" Luis said, patting them on the shoulder. "Yoing to lose anyway. Might as well save yourself the embarrassment."
