The Dark Power nowadays can be considered an upgraded version of somnambulism, equally destructive and uncontrollable.
But it was no longer the same Dragonite. Now, it had many things to protect. Even though the Dark Power was vast, it absolutely couldn't control it. The Dark Power could only become its weapon to protect its companions. If it could protect its companions, Dragonite was willing to obtain great strength through the Dark Power, and it would certainly control that power itself.
After reaffirming its belief, Dragonite's body emitted a massive black whirlwind, and its eyes turned red once more. At that moment, its power had grown even stronger than before.
"Bwah!!! (Don't worry, I will not become a slave to the Dark Power. This power is for protecting you.)"
Dragonite turned around and said.
At that time, Dragonite also remembered Fang Yuan's reminder. Riding the momentum of its Dark Mode, without turning its head, it resolutely said, "Bwah!!! (Milotic, I like you. I will protect you, protect you all. Wait until I defeat Groudon...)"
Its loud confession left Milotic momentarily stunned, her expression subtly changing.
Even the Monferno playing in the water underwater heard everything clearly.
The Pokemon like Eevee were also stunned. Besides what was in the script, there was an Easter egg?
Fang Yuan's expression stiffened even more.
However, deep down, Fang Yuan felt relieved. Even if he hadn't reminded it, Dragonite understood that Dark Power was a force to protect companions.
Because it stemmed from pain, it was determined to avoid suffering, and therefore, it had to control this power well.
From the moment Fang Yuan met Dragonite, it had always been a Pokemon that considered others first.
Even now, it was no exception, which was why it was able to control the Dark Power.
Could Milotic accept such a confession?
At that moment, Dragonite was all in, resolute, deciding not to let Pokemon like Eevee fight alone. Its Rage flared up, vowing to never forgive the Groudon that had hurt Milotic.
Even if it meant sacrificing its own life, it charged out without any hesitation,
transforming into a flash of black light, hitting Groudon with Extreme Speed. With such speed… if it was this speed, Groudon definitely couldn't stop it…
With a "boom!!!" Dragonite, shrouded in a black Hurricane, struck Groudon's body.
Feeling a huge recoil, Dragonite's red eyes watched as Groudon was flung away by its impact and then flashed white in the sky, turning into a Ditto…
A Ditto…
Ditto…
Monster…
Dragonite: ◐▽◑?
Huh???!!!
"Bwah??" Dragonite stood there dumbfounded.
At that moment, even the overwhelmingly powerful Dark Power, which could disturb the mind, suddenly dissipated.
Dragonite's brief brain freeze left it stupefied in midair.
"Busy busy…"
Elsewhere, Ditto let out a cry of pain as it fell from the sky. Fang Yuan allowed it to change back, not needing to follow the script's continuation anymore.
At that moment, Ditto was also surprised. It had transformed into an Epic Level using Groudon Scale and Ruby Orb plus Victini, greatly increasing its strength. That was why it could suppress Dragonite and Milotic before, but Dragonite's hit still hurt it a lot.
Gurgle gurgle…
Then, bubbles surfaced, and a waterlogged Monkey emerged, catching the falling Ditto.
Following that, Pokemon like Eevee, Armed Magnemite, Monferno, and others shook off their injuries, returned to normal, and looked at Dragonite with strange glances.
Onshore, Pokemon like Venusaur and Rotom had long been eating melon seeds, whispering and pointing.
Just now… Did Dragonite just confess to Milotic in front of her???
Hiss…
Seeing the whispering and pointing of its companions, Dragonite was stunned for a moment.
Dragonite was completely bewildered.
Dragonite felt hot all over, its face burning with embarrassment.
It looked at the silent Eevee, Armed Magnemite, Glutton, Monferno, and other Pokemon, then at Milotic's embarrassed face.
At that moment, Pokemon like Milotic were surprised too. Wasn't the script supposed to be about them all "dying" one by one, then triggering Dragonite's Dark Power, making it realize that the heart of Dark Power was "Protection"?
How did it suddenly become about confessing and then ending the whole ordeal?
Moreover, nobody expected Dragonite's sudden confession during its entry into Dark Mode, except for Fang Yuan who had been consistently encouraging it through Mind Induction.
Right now, Fang Yuan was very pleased. Not only had the confession taken place, but Dragonite's grasp on the Dark Power and its inner strength seemed to have both made breakthroughs - a joyous occasion for everyone.
"Bwoh... Bwah..."
But at that moment, Dragonite felt utterly hopeless. Seeing Groudon turn back into Ditto, how could it not realize what was happening?
Its body stiffened, and so did its expression.
Too much, this was just too much.
It was over; it was socially dead.
At that moment, that was the only thought in Dragonite's mind.
It didn't dare look at Milotic anymore.
"Ababa ababa..."
At last, Dragonite rolled its eyes back, pretending to faint and falling into the sea.
Its legs kicked out, as if it had no more quarrels with the world.
Fang Yuan: "Tsk tsk tsk, don't even think about denying it; I had Rotom secretly record everything..."
