"Go, Swablu, let me see your progress!"

  Seviper, the Fang Snake Pokémon, is known for its extremely fierce personality.

  At this moment, Seviper saw the tiny Swablu wanting to battle it and immediately opened its mouth in a fit of rage, lunging for a bite. Sharp fangs fshed with a red light, and the sharpened bde on its tail, honed on rocks, also exuded a fierce aura. From its appearance alone, it was clear that this was no gentle creature.

  "Dodge!!! And watch out for its tail!!"

  The venomous bde at the tip of its tail was Seviper's best weapon. Its agile, sharp tail was also its best asset against Zangoose.

  "Chyaaa~!!!" Missing Swablu, Seviper became even more enraged, emitting a piercing noise from its mouth that made Torii immediately cover his ears. However, trying to py with sound against Swablu was a mistake on Seviper's part. Under Torii's command, Swablu emitted a sound no less inferior to and even brighter than the noise, immediately overpowering it.

  "Agility, Peck attack!!"

  Swablu's body fshed with white light. Facing Seviper's wildly swinging poisonous tail, it carefully and quickly dodged while forcefully pecking Seviper on the head, causing Seviper to cry out in pain.

  Seizing this opportunity, Torii continued to shout, "Fury Attack!"

  Its small and agile body became Swablu's greatest reliance for hit-and-run tactics against Seviper. Having endured a Peck attack, Seviper was furious. Facing the approaching Swablu once again, it directly spat out a cloud of bck smog, obscuring Torii and Swablu's vision.

  "Bck smog, huh..." Wanting to see the current situation clearly, Torii reluctantly gave the order: "Fly into the sky."

  "Whoosh~~~!!" The pale blue body burst out of the bck smog and flew into the sky, gaining a slight advantage. However, not long after Swablu flew out, a stream of poison followed closely from the bck smog. If Torii hadn't been observing the situation in the bck smog at all times, this stream of poison would have hit Swablu, who had turned to fly.

  "Swablu, stay in the air and use Hidden Power!! Attack the bck smog with all your might!!"

  Torii gave the order. Hearing this, Swablu immediately spat out a blue aura, directly smashing into the bck smog, causing a ripple that directly dispersed the smog. However, Seviper seemed unaffected by it in the bck smog at the moment.

  With no time for further thought, Torii immediately ordered the dual hindering moves of Cotton Guard and Feather Dance to interfere with Seviper. Faced with the swarming white cotton feathers, Seviper's mood became agitated.

  When Seviper seemed to be stuck by the feathers, Torii's eyes lit up and he continued to instruct: "Use Hidden Power again!!"

  Swablu's timing was extremely precise. While Seviper, entangled by Feather Dance, was struggling to break free, it didn't pay attention to Swablu at all. The bluish-purple Hidden Power directly hit Seviper's head, with excellent effect!

  Seeing Seviper's dazed expression, Swablu immediately cheered happily, as if celebrating its victory. But at this moment, shaking its head, Seviper let out an even more furious cry. Bloodshot eyes filled with angry roars gred at Swablu. Caught off guard and immersed in joy, Swablu was directly startled, its nerves numbed, its body softened, and it lost bance in the air, slowly falling.

  "That is... Gre!" Seeing this scene, Torii's heart skipped a beat, secretly regretting his carelessness. The battle wasn't over yet, but he didn't expect Swablu to rex first, being hit by the opponent's move due to negligence!!

  This Seviper... Gre...

  "Are you okay, Swablu?!" Rushing over, Torii picked up Swablu, and at the same time, he fumbled for medicines to relieve paralysis.

  "Cheep~~Cheep~~" With a gentle cry, Torii could see that Swablu's condition wasn't good. The nerve paralysis caused by Gre had a great impact on the young Swablu.

  "Found it!!" Happily finding a bottle of medicine, Torii immediately used it on Swablu, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Swablu's expression ease up a bit.

  But at this moment, a dark shadow crawled to Torii's back, making a hissing sound. Torii turned around and saw Seviper staring at him with its mouth wide open -

  "Thwack~" A thick tail swept over, and Torii was directly knocked away. The huge pain made Torii groan, but in order not to affect Swablu, Torii hurriedly protected Swablu in his arms, then rolled over, his back scraping along the ground for a long distance.

  "Are you okay... Swablu." The pain caused a noticeable change in Torii's face. Looking at Seviper, who was about to crawl over again, Torii clenched his teeth, "Swablu, try your best to fly."

  Swablu hadn't completely recovered from the nerve paralysis, and now was not a good time to deal with Seviper.

  On the other side, Seviper didn't stop its movements, still staring at them fiercely, wanting to continue its offensive.

  "Bang!!!" Another stream of venom flew over, and Torii quickly rolled away with Swablu, barely dodging it.

  "Cheep~~~~~~"

  At this moment.

  The numbness slowly subsided, and Swablu's consciousness gradually cleared up. It also realized the danger to its life, directly breaking free from Torii's arms and flying up!

  "Cheep!!!!!!!!!"

  At this moment, Torii and Seviper's gazes stayed on Swablu.

  Looking at the flying Swablu, Torii didn't think that Swablu was pnning to escape.

  "If I remember correctly... both Swablu and Altaria are proud Pokémon..."

  Once they have a trainer with whom they share a connection -

  Staking their pride and giving their all for them is Swablu's dignity!

  "Cheep!!!!!!!!!"

  "Cheep!!!!!!!!!!"

  Soaring in the air, looking at the already tattered clothes on Torii's back, Swablu directly cried out in sorrow.

  An extremely mournful cry sounded, mixed with only extreme anger and self-bme!

  "Cheep!!!!!!!!!"

  "Cheep!!!!!!!!!!"

  For Swablu, who had just been born not long ago, Torii was like its parent, always taking care of it meticulously. But now -

  Torii was running away in a sorry state to protect it, being attacked. It was clearly a battle that didn't concern the trainer, yet Torii was dragged into it because of its own negligence.

  "Cheep~!"

  The lingering numbness in its nerves only made the fmes of anger in Swablu's heart burn even more fiercely!

  The moment Seviper attacked Torii directly touched the taboo in Swablu's heart.

  It wanted to redeem its carelessness!

  "You've recovered, Swablu..." Standing up calmly, Torii, as a trainer, felt Swablu's mood. At this time, what he needed to do was to work with Swablu to recim their dignity!

  However, everything at this moment exceeded Torii's imagination!

  Swablu's condition seemed a bit strange!

  At this time, Swablu's consciousness didn't seem to be fully awake, with a cry mixed with anger, like a volcano about to erupt -

  This is -

  Suddenly, Swablu's flying speed increased, its whole body burst out with bluish-purple fmes, releasing a terrifying aura that even Torii could feel. With a tear, it burst through the air, its flying speed comparable to Agility. At the same time, the bluish-purple fmes surged all over its body, like a violent charge. This move, which Torii didn't value much, was only because Swablu's size was too small and its effect was limited, but at this moment, the fmes all over its body drove Swablu's flight, and a murderous aura mixed with Swablu's belief. Seeing this scene, Torii directly froze, shouting in shock.

  "Dragon... Rush!"
