Almost eight hours later we finally splashed up onto the beach of aptly nad Dewgong Island.
I was exhausted. Milotic was too. He didn’t have the crazy stamina of Arcanine who wanted to run and exercise constantly. So we both slumped into the sand together finally free of the ocean.
"That… was fun… But also long." I tell him earning a tired "Miiiiiiiii." in return.
"Yeah. Next ti, shorter trips. But we have to do that again. I loved swimming with you Milotic." I tell him, thanking him for his effort. Even if eight hours of constant ocean got old around hour five.
Especially since Milotic was pretty bouncy. My stomach hadn’t quite rebelled, but I wasn’t going to risk eating anything. I returned him to his Pokeball to get so rest as I just lay back for a while enjoying having ground beneath .
"Ho! You alive down there?" I wave my hand as a voice called out, throwing a thumbs up before letting it slump back into the sand. Sand. Saaaand.
"Hey kid. What are you doing way out here? If you are here to catch a Dewgong, I get that, but not much else out here." An old man that looked like every scraggly fisherman I had ever t leaned over .
"Long story." I tell him tiredly. "You don’t happen to have a Pokemon center?"
"Not out here. We do have Kas, she opens her ho as an Inn when wanderers co through… C’mon I’ll show ya."
"Thanks." I whimper as I get up. My butt was so sore. Arcanine and then Milotic ant I had been riding Pokemon for most of a day. I stood with a wobble and a bit off balance but I grunted and pushed it away as I followed the old man.
I could use a night’s rest. So could Milotic. He led into the small village on the tiny island, honestly it was what? Less than ten buildings in total?
The largest was an old mansion ho, the old man led there heading up the small steps into the front.
It had been redecorated, and I could see it was almost like a small Inn. A kindly woman sitting at the front desk reading a book looked up at our entrance.
"Oh Frank?"
"Kas. Got a young’un washed up."
"Frank! If she washed up, you should be calling the doctor!"
"Ah. I interrupt the woman’s obvious shock. "I rode my Pokemon here. I wasn’t shipwrecked or anything. I was resting on the beach when.. Frank? Mr. Frank offered to take to an Inn?"
"Oh thank Arceaus. Honestly Frank, your words have aning!" She hissed at him before shaking her head. Please co in. Let’s get you situated. I bet you are hungry? I’m afraid we aren’t entirely free. I know you trainers on their journey are used to Pokemon Centers…"
"Ah That’s fine. I have money. Don’t worry about that! Food sounds wonderful, and a room for the night? I wasn’t expecting to be out on the ocean so long. I think starting again tomorrow will be best."
"Hmm. Ocean travel is dangerous riding on a Pokemon. I hope you are being careful?" She asked as she began pulling things off a shelf behind her a key with a little tag along with what looked like so basic linens and towel and the like.
"The price for a-"
I interrupt and just hand her my Trainer card, which she nods quickly swiping it through a little old fashioned till.
"Oh looks like you are all set. You really should ask for the price first dearie. You wouldn’t want soone to rip you off."
"I would anywhere else. But little towns like this are filled with good people." I offer with a smile that earns a bright smile in return.
"Well aren’t you a little charr? Frank I got it from here, off you go. Dinner will be ready once I settle our guest in."
"Right." The older Fishman nodded both to Kas, and myself before wandering off.
"Right, forgive , I forgot everything. Introductions. I’m Kasumi, the proprietress of this little Inn. My family owned a fishing business that used this island. The Dewgong often chase fish right into our nets, Great great Grandfather loved them. But now I just run the Inn out of the old mayor office."
"Cool!" I tell her honestly. Dewgong fishing on a little sleepy rock? That actually sounded delightfully sleepy. Small towns like this were the best. Where everyone knew each other and were friends… Or had feuds that lasted generations. Either way.
I was led through the old mansion up into a room where Kasumi opened the door with the key. "The door does lock, so everything is safe inside. Not that we get much issues with thieves out here. I’ll show you to the baths although it will take a few hours for them to warm up. Unfortunately the heater isn’t what it used to be."
"Oh I have a fire Pokemon. Honestly she would probably enjoy heating up the water. If you show the heater, she can help."
"Oh that’s kind of you dear." She accepted and I grinned. Putting most of my stuff down I grabbed Arcanines ball and followed. She led to a surprisingly big bath. It almost looked like a hot spring, but it was pretty obvious it was just a facsimile of one.
"Very hot spring chic." I couldn’t help but say as I followed her into the bathroom over the stone flooring towards a door in the back of the room.
"Oh yes. My Grandfather had hoped to turn this island into a resort island. Unfortunately, it isn’t exactly warm here. He installed this Hot spring bath, but it still never went anywhere. Now it is just a pleasure for everyone that lives here. Honestly most everyone cos here to bathe, or at least we used to. The heater has been finicky for a while."
"I suppose there aren’t a lot of fire Pokemon in the area either that you could catch to replace it."
"Oh no. Not a one!" She chuckled at that opening the door leading to a well sized room that had a large boiler in it. Part of it seed to be working, but I could see that for the most part the boiler was cold.
"What’s wrong with it?"
I asked as I looked it over. It didn’t look broken.
"Hah! It’s ancient! This Boiler was installed before I was ever born. Don’t worry about it, I do have the parts needed to at least get it up and running on backorder, but they are old parts. They don’t make boilers like this anymore." The woman chuckled, her graying hairs hinted at just how old this monster of tal really was.
"Alright, where should the fire go?"
"Right here dearie." She said pulling open a hatch in the boiler. "Just have your Pokemon heat up the water inside, the Boiler will take care of the rest."
"Perfect… Umm you’ll want to stand back my girl is a bit big."
"Oh? One of those Charizard trainers? I went with Squirtle when I was a girl." Kasumi offered with a chuckle as she backed up and then I released Arcanine.
"Woooo!" She gave a little howl as she stretched out her tail already wagging.
"Oh my Arceus!" Kasumi gasped in shock as she took in Arcanine, the woman’s jaw dropped.
"Arcanine. Got a bit of training for you… And it would really help out. Use your Flathrower to heat up the Boiler. Let’s do so endurance training. Just keep the heat up so it heats the bath out there. Oh is there a temperature gauge or sothing for her to keep an eye on?"
"That! That’s an Arcanine!" The woman was still gasping as she stared.
"Yep." I agreed, giving Kasumi a few monts to take it in. "You can pet her if you want. She is friendly." As I say that Arcanines tail began wagging.
"Oh my!"
Which is how Kasumi got so distracted petting Arcanine, dinner was an hour late. Much to the grumbles of a few old fishern out in the dining room. But I was nice and warm after a bath, and the food was still good when it was done.
—--
The next morning over a pretty delicious breakfast I was inundated with questions.
"How long you had your Arcanine?"
"Couple years. She was a gift from my father."
"Oh? Your father could give away an Arcanine? He must have retired. Is he so famous battler?"
"No? Papa works for the Police, he trains Growlithe. He gave Growlithe as a guard dog. She was too aggressive for a police dog. So I took her as my second Pokemon. And then well. Family secret. But Papa has an Arcanine too." I tell them to their astonished looks.
"Amazing!"
"Hell of a thing. But good! We need more Arcanine! Show those Johtans what for!"
"Oh stop it Bill the war has been over for years." Another old man grumbled from behind a newspaper.
"Bah. This war is over. Next war is coming." The oldman grumbled.
"I hope not! I hate the idea of Pokemon in a war." I add with a frown. Then I shrug. Hopefully peace would prevail.
"So what are you doing so far out in the boonies then Arcanine girl? Ain’t much out here but Dewgong."
"Oh… Well I’m going to explore the storm." I tell them. I wanted to keep it secret, to protect the Dragonite, but hopefully I wouldn’t stop here on my way back, or just wouldn’t tell them. Then it wouldn’t matter. If I did stop here, I could just say I didn’t find anything!
"Oh. Nothing in there." One fisherman said simply.
"Aye. We explored the storm as kids. Nothing interesting. Not even any good Pokemon. The storm drives them all off." Another replies casually putting a bit of his breakfast into his mouth.
"Oh yeah herald checked from the sky to the ocean floor to see if there was anything interesting. Not a thing. Just a weird storm." Another said.
That’s when I realized it. I felt a smile crossing my lips. "You are all so cute." I couldn’t help but admit causing a bit of a quiet. "You’re all trying to protect the Dragonite."
"Girl… Don’t know what you are talking about."
"It’s okay." I inform the town. Because honestly it was nearly the entire town as I waved my hands in front of . "I totally get it! They help people so we definitely don’t want everyone bothering them! I think it’s sweet you all keep them secret."
Frank, the fisherman that found yesterday, was looking uncomfortable. "We don’t bother them, and they have rescued many of us during storms. We do our best to ward away people from getting close. Girl, I-"
"I’m not going to go throwing Pokeballs at them. I swear. I do want to see if any want to join my team. That’s it. If all of them refuse. I’ll just leave after having a fun adventure."
"Swear it on your Arcanine. You aren’t there to poach them." It was Kasumi who spoke up from behind as I turned and then I nodded once.
"I swear on my Arcanine. I am not here to hurt the Dragonite. I just want to see them and see if any of them want to join ."
A breath seed to go out of the entire town as they took in my words. It took a few monts before Kasumi seed to nod, taking a seat beside .
"We have kept the secret of the island for generations… My great grandfather didn’t settle here to fish. He did it because a Dragonite saved his life. He built the town here to hide them. He started telling everyone that he explored the whole storm, and there was nothing interesting." Kasumi tells as she settles onto the table.
"The secret has of course spread to most of the island." Frank offered with a gruff voice. "But that’s because the Dragonite will rescue anyone who gets shipwrecked or lost at sea. They save us, and then when they get ho we all tell them that we know. That they saved us all. We keep them safe."
"Yeah. Poachers would go crazy over an island filled with Dragonite, Dragonair and Dratini." I agree. "They are basically legends after all."
"That they are. They are our legends." Kasumi offered, looking over. "A girl with an Arcanine, also wants a Dragonite? You certainly have a nose for them. Legends."
"I guess I do. So yeah, that’s why I’m here. To go see the island…"
"Well we do get people searching for them from ti to ti. We get enough sightings around here, but I can’t say I ever expected to find soone who absolutely knew… How did you know?" Kasumi asked and I could do nothing but smile.
"Sorry, that’s my secret." The old woman huffed at my words.
"Well I wish you safe journeys and I hope you are true to your word girl."
"Vicky. Victoria Ferrous, and I am. I will never tell anyone about the island. I swear."
The whole room nodded. Seemingly satisfied.
An hour later I was suited back up and earning a few more gasps from Milotic as my boy showed off a bit. Mr. Steal yo Girl was actively stealing the attention of every girl on the island much to his delight.
But soon we were back in the water. With a specific direction from Frank the Fisherman about where the storm was so I wouldn’t end up off target.
And Milotic Swam.
—--
As we approached the storm reaching from the ocean surface to high in the sky I grabbed my rebreather and settled my goggles back on my head. "Good to go!" I call out as I stuff the rebreather in my mouth and then Milotic goes under. This ti for a much longer period.
Milotic was almost faster under water than on the surface as he simply dashed through the ocean. The sky darkening above ant we were under the surface but that hardly mattered because below the ocean it was calm.
And nothing ca close to touching Milotic. A few tis Pokemon looked like they might look for a fight. A big Tentacruel noticed us, but by the ti he started pursuing he was left in our bubbles.
Extre speed training had taken a long ti for Milotic to get. And he could really only do an approximation underwater. But that still ant he was moving at least a bit faster than a quick attack underwater.
It was blazing fast. Although unlike Arcanine this level of speed was a strain for Milotic. He would need more endurance training. But this being an ocean voyage wasn’t a good ti for practice.
He still did it a little, just to show he could. Showing off for as always.
Finally I noticed the light start brightening above , and as he swam the ocean floor started rising up. Sand appearing below us.
Without even needing a call Milotic rose up, and then we burst out of the ocean revealing a lone island in front of , surrounded in a massive circular storm.
Dragonite Island. Ho to an entire population of Dragonite Dragonair, and Dratini.
I grinned as I took out my rebreather. "Co on Milotic, let’s go!"
"Miiii!"
Before I even hit the beach I could already see Dragonite, and Dragonair coming to see what was going on. As Milotic settled onto the beach a few Dragonite were wandering over doing their cute little roar speech greeting as they wandered up.
"Good morning!" I chirped at them as I slipped off Milotic letting him stretch out a bit and cool down from his dash.
"Gaaar." The Dragonite greeted as he… She? I couldn’t tell. Looked pretty interested in their new guest. Milotic was actually getting a lot of attention from the Dragonite as more than a few were giving him interested looks.
Oh no Mr. Steal yo Girl strikes again!
"Hi! I’m Vicky, that’s Milotic. I wanted to co to your island to see if any of you wanted to join on my Pokemon Journey." I tell the first Dragonite who scratched their head for a mont before shrugging at .
It was so cute I broke out into giggles. "That’s okay! I’m not here to force anyone. Just to see. I really like Dratini, Dragonair, and Dragonite. So I figured if anyone wanted to go and see the world. They could join . I can promise lots of food." I tell them earning a sort of churring noise that I took as amusent.
It started walking away before stopping and waving to follow. "Sure!" I chirped, turning back to Milotic, but I stopped. He was getting a lot of attention so I left it at that. So Dragonair as well were floating over to see what was going on. But I followed after the Dragonite.
The tour of the island was full of cute Pokemon. I got to play with a Dratini that was fascinated by my goggles. Which I happily planted over his head earning the cutest little giggle noise from him as he quickly ran off to show the others. Dragonite took through lots of interesting places. Although mostly it was just Dragons.
Dragonair tended to settle in small batches to watch Dratini. Dratini wandered all over playing. Dragonite tended to be in twos. Which as I watched and learned from the way they interacted made think they were couples.
Interesting stuff! So Dragonair raised the Dratini communally, but Dragonite tended to couple. It was a question I couldn’t help but ask.
"So do you tend to stay with one partner, like fall in love and stay together?" I asked and after a few more clarifications the Dragonite nodded happily.
Sooo cute! They had little husbands and wives!
Unfortunately I wasn’t a protagonist. So no Dragonair that couldn’t fly that I could help them learn Dragon dance and prove my leadership skills so they would stay with forever. The Dragonite I spoke to mostly seed uninterested in leaving. More than happy to just chill out.
Dragonite were so chill. Honestly I think for Dragon types they were the most relaxed. It was pretty cool.
Then again I did rember Iris’s Dragonite. That fucking rage dragon that literally had zero chill. Maybe he just didn’t have a girlfriend?
Cause all of these Dragonite were happy couples and total chill. One was literally buried in Dratini that were obviously playing a king of the Dragonite belly ga and despite catching a few twisters from overeager Dratini he literally continued snoring away.
I fell in love to be honest. That level of don’t give a fuck was incredible.
Unfortunately, though none of the Dragonite were interested in joining , and the few Dragonair that heard out, refused as well. Although I did note they seed more interested. The Dratini of course were all excited but they were pushed away by the Dragonair. I understood, and even gave one of the Dragonair a laugh as goggles Dratini returned and made motions to want to beco my Pokemon.
He was hauled away by what I could only think was his mother not long after.
So cute.
But I wasn’t about to steal soone’s kid. Especially since this island was incredibly safe for the Dragon family.
I could understand not wanting to send your kids out into the wilds. With that I made a pitstop behind the waterfall to quickly gather up a whole bunch of Dratini sheddings. They were worth top dollar all over the world. People made boots out of them or sothing.
I would have to do sothing with those soti.
But as I was grabbing the last ones I heard an explosion which had drop what I had and hurry out.
Milotic!
As I rushed out the Dragonite that had been escorting around was looking towards the beach concerned. "That might be my friend!" I tell him as I start running, but a mont after they scoop up without another sound and suddenly I was airborne.
It was amazing. 10/10 magic dragon princess carry.
But I didn’t get a chance to really enjoy it because holy hell was it fast. In just monts we were on the other side of the island touching down towards the beach.
The beach, that was now much tenser than I had left. Milotic was looking angry as his fins were up showing a threat display and opposite him was a Dragonair. Doing the sa. Worse, was another Dragonair to the side that had the obvious marks of Milotics tail imprinted on its face. I could see sort of what happened, the Dragonair had attacked Milotic. Milotic defended… The other Dragonair was angry?
I just wasn’t sure why.
Milotic was too lazy to cause a fight. "Hey Milotic what’s going on?" I call out as I am set back onto my feet on the sand and I rush forward earning a look from the Dragonair that was causing this but that was it. Instead it kept its focus on Milotic and Milotic to my shock called out as well. A warning.
To back away.
I stopped cold. Milotic? A mont later my escort was beside and they gently tugged back a bit until the area around the two Pokemon was safe.
A battle was going to happen. I turned to my escort. "Hey what’s going on? Milotic wouldn’t pick a fight!" But it simply shook its head. It looked a little confused, it was obviously trying to explain but didn’t have the words.
Then two Dragonair ca up, bumping a little to get my attention. Which had Dragonite grr a little in acceptance, as the group enacted a little play for .
First two Dragonair danced together. Then Dragonite ca in and did so obvious flirtations with one of the Dragonair… I still wasn’t sure about any of the genders but I put that to the side.
The partner of the Dragonair got angry and had a pseudo fight, and Dragonite won. But then, the Dragonair he was wooing also started a play fight. In the end Dragonite ’won’ and the Dragonair he had been flirting with was doing a dragon dance with them… OOOOOH!
"Oh shit. This is a courtship ritual!" I asked turning to Dragonite to receive a happy nod.
Hell. Milotic got so serious ga then! He had flirted with a Dragonair that had a partner, and now he was being sized up… If he was good enough for her to choose him… Ouch. That was kinda harsh… But they were dragons. There was a reason they had a reputation for pride. Strength was important to dragons.
But it made realize what was happening.
"Okay! Thank you for explaining!" I offered before stepping forward a mont. "Milotic! Don’t use Ice moves! Show her your strength as a Dragon!" I called out. Which earned a flap of Milotics fins as he acknowledged the order. "I believe in you!"
And that was it. I stepped back and settled in the sand as the Pokemon continued to size each other up.
There was a certain… Language being used, a body language between the two as they prepared for battle. I could tell Milotic was serious. Damn he must really like the look of that Dragonair. He loved attention but had never shown even any interest in the female Milotic of the flock.
I guess my boy liked them exotic.
And then in just a mont the battle began.
Dragonair let out a Howl that sounded like a mix of a lions roar and a siren singing as she let out a twister.
Milotic let out his own. Twister was a move Milotic learned, but we had never practiced it. But he gave it his all. The two dragon forces smashed into each other, and Dragonairs STAB was definitely the superior, but when the remnants of the move washed over Milotic he stood firm.
Unblemished.
As if my boy would be beaten by a weakened Dragon move!
And then it was on. The two rushed in. Circling, Dragonair using dragon dance but ending it with Dragontail whipping out.
But that was the only other Dragon type move Milotic knew. So when his own tail glowed a light blue which looked rather pretty actually. It didn’t matter that Dragonair had STAB. The two tails bashed into each other, and I could tell the exact mont Dragonair realized she had bit off more than she could chew.
Because Milotics tail battered the dragon danced STAB attack away without even slowing down. A static ringing noise echoed out as the two moves hit and Milotic cried out a loud "Miiii!" As his tail battered the Dragonair away from him. She landed in the sand with a cry as she hit hard before she rose back up once more the two Pokemon resud their standoff, but this ti?
Well even I could see the interest of the Dragons around . This had changed from sothing amusing to sothing… Interesting.
Dragonite tapped on the shoulder pointing and I grinned. "I caught Milotic as a Feebas. I told him… I believe in his beauty, his strength. And we worked together until I helped him evolve. And then? Then I trained him so that no one could ever denounce how special he is. My Arcanine is strong too. Any Dragonite, or Dragonair, or Dratini that joins with would be able to grow just as much." I tell them and they nodded a little before turning back to the battle. Which had continued.
Milotic proving his strength in physical attacks had definitely caused a change in the ritual, because Dragonair was now seeming less aggressive sending out a few twisters that were pushed back and then ignored as they washed over Milotic. But then Milotic proving that he was a chad. Took on his own offense.
He swirled with water as Water Pulse activated, and blasted off in just a few monts. The very thin move blasted a line in the sand past the Dragonair kicking up sand for a mont. But not a drop touched her.
A warning shot. And then it was on. Twisters began firing, pushed back with Water Pulse which did manage to push back the attack entirely. Milotics water pressure training showed an improvent in the moves power, even if it wasn’t anything awe inspiring.
But it was enough to prove that he could do damage, that was all it needed to.
With the special attacks proven, they started circling each other, and Dragonair to my surprise began initiating a dragon dance.
It wasn’t an offensive move this ti, in fact it was like she was waiting!
"Milotic Dragon dance! Do what she does. Use Dragon energy like with Dragon tail! You can do it! Prove you are just as much a Dragon!" I yelled out realizing my boy was floundering.
He didn’t know Dragon Dance.
But Milotic wasn’t about to let sothing like that stop him. He did as I recomnded. A few monts later he started following her dance, although I could see it wasn’t right, it took a few turns before his tail went that sa glowing light blue.
Clever boy! He was using the Dragon energy from Dragon Tail to try and get the feel of the new move!
And slowly, it wasn’t perfect. It was rough, and he couldn’t really fly too much off the sand, even if Milotic could float a bit, Dragon dance activated, and the two ca together.
Oh my! I covered my eyes!
But you’re damn right my fingers split open.
—---
My Dragonite island adventure took a bit of an extended tifra. Instead of just an afternoon because of Milotic proving himself a manly man he got the girl and so the two of them disappeared for a while.
I didn’t mind. Arcanine was having fun training on the beach, the Dragonite happily taking the challenge Arcanine was giving out, and with Chansey the loser could be healed to battle again.
Turns out despite being chill Dragonite loved to fight. I suppose it made sense if their courtship literally revolved around proving you were the strongest love interest.
Arcanine loved the fact that so of the Dragonite also had Extre speed, and so were actually able to keep up with her.
And so we spent a few days just hanging out. I didn’t mind. Dratini were the cutest of all ti. So I spent most of the day playing with baby dragons, while Arcanine trained, and Chansey healed.
Everyone was happy.
And then on the morning on the third day. As I ca out to the beach from a cave I had camped up in Milotic rushed over. And gave a big eel hug.
A "I love you too buddy. Where is your new girlfriend?" I asked, only to be answered by her as she called out as she flew down.
"Preeeee!" And then Dragonair was there, landing above the sand. And I jerked back as she swung a tail at lightly.
Oh she was mad.
Milotic wasn’t happy either. "Mii!"
"Pree. Dragonair!" She snapped, and then the two Pokemon were getting tense. Sothing was off.
"Hold up!" I call out getting in between them quickly. "Dragonair… It’s nice to et you. I’m not sure exactly what’s going on, but Milotic is my partner, and I don’t want to interrupt your relationship. I’m really happy he found soone he likes."
"Pree!" Dragonair made a scoffing noise as she glared. Turning to Milotic she snapped out a few more lines. "Dragon! Dragonair!"
"Milotic." My boy said simply an absolute denial. Which didn’t make Dragonair happy.
"Wait!" I call out again. "I think I get it… You want Milotic to stay here with you?"
"Dragonair!" She snapped, but it was definitely a yes. I blinked Milotic? My partner staying? Impossible! He was my partner!
But it wasn’t just my decision. I turned to Milotic looked so confused. "Milotic. Do you want to stay?" I asked, and he hesitated, giving a shrugging wiggle. "But you want to be with her?"
"Miii!"
I nodded. Makes sense. He jumped into a sumr fling and now he was shocked their lives weren’t the sa. I turned towards Dragonair.
"Why don’t you co with him instead? I ca here to see if a Dragon wanted to join my team. You are more than welco to join us on our journey." I asked and that caused her to jerk a little before denying instantly. A sound of… dismissal escaping her as she looked over.
Like ouch.
"I’m not good enough huh?"
"Dragonair."
"Then let’s make it into a match. You like to fight over your relationships right? I won’t give up on Milotic either. He is my partner! So let’s have a battle. If I win, you join ."
"Dragon! Dragonair Drag!"
It takes a minute to make out the way she was talking. "Oh, I won’t use Milotic, that would be weird. I have another Pokemon. If you can beat my other partner. Then Milotic will have to… He will have to choose. I can’t force him. But it won’t matter. You won’t win." I tell her and that did it. She hissed a noise that was definitely unhappy escaping her.
"That’s right. You won’t win. And when you lose you can join , and I will train you into a monster. You will beco legendary. Just like Milotic." I tell her and despite everything she jerked a bit at the fervor of my voice before scoffing, and nodding.
"Great. Let’s go."
Thank Arceus for Chansey. Arcanine had been battling a lot in the last few days, but with Chansey and a full night’s rest she wasn’t hurt or bothered. She was instead eager to battle so more when I released her. Listening to her howl of challenge, which earned a few Dragonite stirring from their naps.
But Dragonair was pissed. After all, I was basically challenging her for her newest lover.
But I would be damned before I handed over my Partner to anyone. Much less an upjumped Dragon.
"Arcanine. We have to win this. Milotic is part of our team. So this Dragonair needs to go down. She is resistant against fire moves." I tell her, although considering how many dragons she had fought over the last few days she probably knew better than I did.
And then as both Pokemon settled into the sand, as everything went quiet. I knew the battle would begin soon. A Dragonite stood out from the sand and then roared.
As the roar ended the battle began.
"Extre Iron head!"
"Preee!" Dragonair retaliated, a blistering twister tore through where Arcanine had been standing a mont before. And then Dragonair was letting out a cry of pain as she was smashed by Arcanine.
But this Dragonair wasn’t weak. She roared as an Aqua tail smashed into Arcanines side, both Pokemon eating sand from the attack.
"Shake it off Arcanine! Howl!"
Dragonair flinched back from the volu of Arcanines call, but she began a dragon dance, in return both Pokemon powering up.
"Arcanine! Extre Iron head!"
"Preee!" Dragonair called out as she heard my call as she started trying to fly up and away, but Extre speed was called that for a reason.
The Dragonair barely moved before a dog barrelled into her slamming her into sand. "Bite attack!" I called and Arcanine bit down dark energy causing a more powerful damage as her body was bitten.
But Dragonair was a dragon. The aqua tail build up was so fast I didn’t get a chance to start yelling to dodge before Arcanine was once more blasted away from Dragonair.
I grit my teeth. Water was super effective, even if Dragonair wasn’t an amazing physical brawler. It was still hurting my pup.
"Alright Arcanine! Double team! Not more letting that Dragon get a hit in!"
"Bark!" And then Arcanine was gone. Practically vanishing as more and more doubles of her appeared as she started running around.
A twister was sent out but hit nothing but an after image.
"Iron tail!" I called out, and then Dragonair was crying back into the sand as Arcanine knocked her out of the air.
"Hold!" I called out and a mont later Arcanine slowed watching Dragonair struggle to lift herself out of the sand.
"Pree!"
"You’re strong!" I call out at her heated cry. "You even earned the love of Milotic! We don’t have to do this! We can work together. Grow strong together! You can stand beside Milotic on the battlefield! Work with him, train with him every day!"
"Pree!"
She denied , still upset.
"Fine. Arcanine… Play rough."
And as smoke appeared around Dragonair Arcanine jumped in and suddenly stars appeared as she was whacked around.
When it was done. She was unconscious. I fingered a Pokeball for a mont but eventually put it away.
I didn’t want a dragon on my team that hated my existence. We would have to talk this out first.
