However, Monferno's full-strength punch, when faced with Groudon's Precipice Blades, was like a mayfly shaking a tree. It was directly cleaved into the sea by Groudon with a "plop" sound and disappeared without a trace.
Only letting out a wretched scream of "Wuh-Ah—".
Groudon's immense presence almost blew Fang Yuan and the others away. Even with Glutton and Darkrai protecting Fang Yuan, this aura struck straight to the soul.
With Groudon's eruption, before the Armed Magnetic Monster could react, it was devoured by the wide range of lava clouds thrown out by Precipice Blades.
Dragonite was instantly stunned.
Too strong, too strong. Could they really withstand a Groudon with such power?
"Get out of the way!!!!"
Dragonite's heart was greatly shaken.
Just then, Fang Yuan suddenly let out a panicked cry of alarm.
One could see Groudon's body erupting with terrifying magma as it generated large amounts of giant lava boulders in a full-body lava form, blasting them into the sky.
The magma boulders, like a meteor shower, kept falling from the sky toward where Dragonite and Milotic were.
At that moment, the sky was stained red.
Watching the falling magma from the sky, Dragonite's pupils contracted, and a stream of black energy rapidly wrapped around its entire body, while its eyes also turned a blood red.
"Roar——"
It let out an angry roar, as countless chaotic black whirlwinds emerged in front of it, trying to push away the magma boulders attacking Milotic.
However, the power of the magma boulders was surprisingly terrifying, far beyond what Darkness Tyrannosaurus could withstand.
In an instant, the dark energy stream was burned to ashes.
At that moment, a wave of the sea similarly swept up. Milotic, behind Dragonite, attempted to roll up the water to resist the magma, but it was also completely futile.
In a split second, the magma fell onto Dragonite and Milotic.
The horrific burns almost instantaneously cleared Dragonite's mind, forcing it to exit Dark Mode.
At the same time, Milotic let out a piercing scream, as its beautiful skin was scorched bright red by the magma.
"Booh!!!!!!"
Upon hearing Milotic's piercing scream, Dragonite had no time to wonder why the magma boulders only severely injured them but didn't kill them instantly.
In its panic, Dragonite's eyes once again reddened, looking madly towards Milotic.
At this moment, Milotic was already lying severely burned in the boiling hot seawater, its expression filled with pain and its life fluctuation slowly fading.
As if, the previous attack had hit Milotic's vitals.
Plop! Plop! Plop! Plop!
The intense pain in its body made Dragonite realize this was not a dream; its mind was extremely clear, and the violent beating of its heart made time seem to stand still.
It looked at Milotic, its heart filled with immense pain.
An even greater Dark Power than when it had entered Dark Mode began to surge within Dragonite.
This time, its eyes didn't turn red abruptly but faded to white as if it was losing consciousness, collapsing. Terrifying black whirlwinds like lightning burst out from around it.
Fang Yuan and the others could clearly feel that this time, Dragonite's Dark Power had grown astonishingly.
The strength was even to the extent that it might temporarily suppress Ordinary Guardian God Level Power.
Just as Dark Luojia had said, the pain experienced in reality was a hundred times more useful than that in "Dreamland".
This was also related to the fact that Dragonite already possessed the Power of Dreams and was often trained in the "Dreamland" by Darkrai.
In other words, it had developed resistance.
But now, feeling the life of Milotic slipping away right before its eyes, receiving a fatal wound, unaware of the consequences, Dragonite's spirit came to the brink of berserk.
Dragonite itself could clearly feel the Dark Power growing inside it.
But it didn't reject this power; instead, it was extremely eager for it. It needed the strength, desperately needed the strength to defeat Groudon before its eyes.
However, just then, Milotic, who had been "severely injured," as if sensing the change in Dragonite, struggled to wobble its body and let out a frail growl.
Milotic, with its Special Ability, could clear negative states from other lives to bring calmness. That's why it was known as the Loving Pokémon.
At this time, not only because of Milotic's ability but also because Milotic was very important in Dragonite's heart, Milotic's cry momentarily awakened the increasingly berserk Dragonite.
At that moment, Dragonite stood frozen, tears streaming down its face.
Milotic's voice sounded again, weaker this time.
"Fu wu~~~ (I'm sorry, it's because of me that you're all implicated. Don't mind me, and don't let the Dark Power erode your soul because of me. Remember, don't become a slave to the Dark Power...)"
Dragonite, staring blankly at Milotic, suppressed the burgeoning Dark Power. But soon, an even greater Dark Power emerged from its soul.
"Booh!!"
Dragonite, tears glistening in its eyes, gave Milotic a thumbs up and managed a faint smile.
At this instant, Dragonite recalled its own past.
Suffering from sleep battle disorder from an early age, it had kept to itself to avoid troubling others.
If it hadn't been for Dragon Island Elder taking it in, it might have already left Dragon Island to live on a deserted island by itself.
It didn't want to harm others... And for this reason, it had few companions.
But those were things of the past, because it had met Fang Yuan, and partners like Eevee, Self-detonating Magnetic Monster, Monferno, Glutton, and Milotic. With their help, it overcame the sleep disorder.
