Hearing Volkner's command, Electivire finally snapped out of the oppressive aura from "Gyarados."
He crossed his arms in front of his chest, and streams of white light condensed in his hands, forming energy orbs shaped like stars.
Those star-shaped orbs flickered in his palms, each one's speed almost reaching the extreme.
"This move's used well!", a gym intern couldn't help shouting excitedly.
"Swift might take a while to charge up, but once released, it becomes beams that shoot at extreme speed."
"Even if the opponent is good at dodging, it's impossible to avoid a move this close to the speed of light!"
"Tch~", Rayquaza exhaled softly through his nose.
Swift might be fast, but it depended on who used it.
A mere Elite-level brat, even if his level was frightening, still wanted to hit him?
Things that even Groudon's Precipice Blades couldn't do, an Electivire's Swift could?
'Go train a few thousand more years first.'
"Gyarados's" body twisted and danced wildly, dodging Swift with perfect precision.
Seeing that maneuver, both Volkner and Electivire were dumbfounded.
'Lord Arceus, there's filth in this world!'
'Damn it all, he even dodged Swift!'
"You… you…", Volkner's lips trembled. He really wanted to ask how a Gyarados, known for brutality, could possibly have this kind of ridiculous speed.
But before he could speak, "Gyarados" in the sky let out another roar and charged at Electivire.
His body spiraled, purple energy condensing instantly into a storm, whirling down toward the Electivire on the ground.
The speed of this Twister was completely unreasonable, within the blink of an eye, it had already landed on Electivire.
Electivire's eyes shuddered, falling into a flinching state.
"Electivire, snap out of it!", Volkner waved his arms, shouting hoarsely.
But no matter how he tried to rouse their special bond, Electivire couldn't break free from the Twister's grip.
That swirling tornado seemed endless.
"ROAR!"
While keeping up continuous Dragon Dances, "Gyarados" roared wildly.
The energy flowing from him grew stronger and stronger, purple power gathering in his mouth, forming a pulsating sphere.
Feeling that orb's energy, Rayquaza frowned slightly.
The Dragon-type energy inside Gyarados was pitifully scarce. Once those two "black cabbage birds" woke up, he'd definitely have to make them lecture the dragon legion on how to properly grow Dragon energy.
But glancing at those two idiots sipping couple's milk tea, Rayquaza could only sigh.
For now, it was still up to him.
The instant his thought fell, "Gyarados" roared again. Dragon energy around him suddenly thickened.
All the purple energy in the area poured crazily through the buildings toward Gyarados's body.
By the time Electivire snapped out of flinching, a massive orb,.seven or eight meters across, pulsing at a strange frequency,.had already condensed in "Gyarados's" mouth.
["Volkner~"], Electivire froze, almost blurting words in panic.
But Volkner was just as stunned.
Even as Sinnoh's strongest gym leader, able to rival Flint himself, he had never seen such an absurd Dragon Pulse.
Could it be that all the scholars and professors of the world were wrong, and only Lance was right?
That Gyarados really was a dragon?
Electivire shook his head helplessly, mustering all his strength to throw up Protect.
BOOM!
The purple Dragon Pulse crashed down, like a comet slamming into the earth, exploding in a deafening roar.
The energy smashed against Electivire's Protect barrier, shockwaves bursting outward in all directions.
When the Dragon Pulse faded, the ground had been gouged into a half-circle crater.
And Electivire, at the crater's very center, was buried in the dirt up to his neck.
Gyarados's consciousness felt a surge of ecstasy. So this was Lord Rayquaza's power?
No wonder General was so loyal.
Gyarados declared: from now on, he too was a member of the dragon race.
Lord Rayquaza was his sun.
["Lord, great chance, go piss on him, piss on him now!"]
Rayquaza's mouth twitched, nearly dropping out of the sky from lack of control.
'What the hell had Axel been raising all this time?'
But thinking of Axel's past life, Rayquaza found it reasonable.
Beaten so badly while guarding Aurient back then, this time around, hitting others harder wasn't unreasonable.
But him, the mighty Rayquaza, peeing on Electivire? Impossible.
Such a move would tarnish his dragon might and might even brand him "the shame of legendaries" one day.
["You do it instead. I'll watch from the side, ready to switch back anytime."]
"Roar!"
Gyarados roared in excitement, seizing back full control of his body. With the momentum of a flying dragon crashing headlong, he charged at the Electivire who had just looked down on him.
BANG!
Borrowing the stacked Dragon Dances Rayquaza had left, Gyarados's body blurred into afterimages.
Before Electivire could react, Gyarados slammed into him hard, once again sending Electivire reeling, dizzy and disoriented.
Seeing Gyarados's current speed, Volkner's scalp tingled.
'Damn it, hasn't Dragon Dance already been maxed out?'
If Electivire got caught in a full combo at this state, he definitely wouldn't be able to take it.
He had to break free.
"Electivire, use Wild Charge! Aim to collide with Gyarados's direction!"
"ROAR!"
Electivire nodded heavily, sparks exploding from the twin electric organs on his back.
Wild Charge, a move only recently researched by battle scholars at Blueberry Academy, though obscure, was extremely powerful.
While using this move, every gesture of the Pokémon radiated explosive force.
Because of that, it came with a heavy drawback.
Once released, if the move failed to land and transfer electricity into the opponent's body, the user's own stamina would be severely drained.
But for Volkner right now, this was the best choice.
If he didn't go all out, he'd be controlled to death.
Up in the air, Gyarados looked down at his leaking lower half and froze completely.
'Damn it, why didn't you say you were about to use that kind of move?'
'You're gonna get me played to death here!'
'Lord Dragon God, save me!'
