Pokémon Court-Chapter 33 *Title Hidden*

“Go, Swablu! Let me see your progress!”

Seviper, the Fang Snake Pokémon, has a very aggressive personality.

Seeing the tiny Swablu wanting to battle him, Seviper immediately opened its large mouth in rage and went for a bite. Its sharp fangs glistened with red light, and the razor-sharp tail blade grinded against the rock, emitting a hint of ferociousness. From its appearance, it can be seen that it is far from being a gentle creature.

“Dodge!!! And be careful of its tail!”

The blade-shaped tail that can secrete deadly poison is Seviper’s best weapon, and its agile and sharp tail is its best weapon against Zangoose.

“Shaaa!!!” Seviper missed its target Swablu and became even more angry. An ear-piercing screech erupted out from its mouth, causing Terrance to cover his ears. However, using sound against Swablu was a mistake on Seviper’s part. Under Terrance’s command, Swablu countered with a sound that was just as loud, if not louder, effectively overpowering the screech.

“Agility, Peck attack!!”

White light emanated from Swablu as it skillfully avoided Seviper’s wild swing of its poisonous tail. At the same time, it pecked forcefully at Seviper’s head, causing it to cry out in pain.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Terrance continued shouting, “Fury Attack!”

Swablu’s small and agile body became its greatest asset in the battle against Seviper. The enraged Seviper, having been struck by Peck attack, spat out Haze, obscuring Terrance and Swablu’s vision.

“Haze…” Terrance, wanting to see the current situation, helplessly gave the command, “Fly higher.”

“Hoo~~~!” Swablu’s light blue body emerged from the Haze and soared into the sky, gaining a slight advantage. However, shortly after Swablu took flight, a stream of venom followed closely from the Haze. If Terrance hadn’t been observing the situation inside Haze, the venom would have hit Swablu in mid-flight.

“Swablu, while in the air, use Hidden Power! Attack Haze with all your might!”

Upon hearing the command, Swablu immediately spat out a blue aura, striking directly at the Haze and causing a ripple effect that dispersed it. However, inside the Haze, Seviper seemed unaffected.

Without wasting any more time to think, Terrance immediately ordered the combination of Cotton Guard and Feather Dance to hinder Seviper. Faced with the swarming white cotton feathers, Seviper became even more irritated.

As Seviper appeared to be trapped by the feathers, Terrance’s eyes lit up, and he continued instructing, “Use Hidden Power again!”

Swablu timed its moves accurately. Ignoring the feathers entangling Seviper, Swablu’s blue-purple Hidden Power struck directly at Seviper’s head, yielding excellent results.

Watching Seviper’s dazed expression, Swablu immediately let out a joyful cry, as if cheering for its own victory. However, just then, Seviper shook its head and emitted an even more furious Growl. Its crimson eyes, filled with anger, glared at Swablu, catching the unsuspecting Swablu, still immersed in joy, off guard. Paralysis! Swablu’s body went limp, and it lost balance and slowly fell from the sky.

“This is… Glare!” Terrance’s heart skipped a beat as he witnessed the scene, realizing his carelessness. The battle was far from over, but Swablu had relaxed prematurely and was struck by the opponent’s move!

This Seviper… Glare…

“Are you okay, Swablu?!” Terrance hurriedly ran over, scooping Swablu up in his arms while reaching for Paralyze Heal medicine.

“Chirp~ Chirp~” Swablu let out a gentle cry, and Terrance could tell that Swablu was not in a good condition at the moment. The Paralysis caused by Glare had a significant impact on the young Swablu.

“Found it!!” Terrance exclaimed with joy as he retrieved a bottle of medicine. He immediately administered it to Swablu, and only when he saw Swablu’s expression easing did he breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at that moment, a dark shadow crawled up behind Terrance, emitting a hissing sound. Terrance turned around and saw Seviper with its mouth wide open, staring directly at him—

“Bang~” Seviper’s thick tail swung towards Terrance, sending him flying. The intense pain made Terrance groan, but in order to protect Swablu, he quickly shielded it in his arms, flipped his body, and slid a long distance along the ground on his back.

“Are you okay… Swablu.” The pain caused a noticeable change in Terrance’s expression. As he watched Seviper approaching again, Terrance clenched his teeth and said, “Swablu, try your best to fly up.”

Swablu hadn’t fully recovered from the Paralysis yet, so now was not a good time to face Seviper.

On the other side, Seviper showed no signs of stopping and continued to glare ferociously at them, ready to launch another attack.

“Bang!!!” A stream of venom flew towards them once again. Terrance quickly rolled with Swablu, narrowly avoiding it.

“Chirp~~~~”

At this moment…

The numb sensation gradually subsided, and Swablu’s consciousness became clearer. It also realized the danger they were in and broke free from Terrance’s embrace, taking flight!

“Chirp!!!!”

In that instant, Terrance and Seviper’ gazes were fixated on Swablu.

As Terrance watched Swablu take to the sky, he didn’t believe that Swablu intended to flee.

“If I remember correctly… both Swablu and Altaria are proud Pokémon…”

Once they found a Trainer who can share a deep connection with it—

Setting aside their own pride, they would even risk their life for them, and it was the very essence of Swablu’s dignity!

“Chirp!!!!”

“Chirp!!!!”

Circling in the air, Swablu looked at the torn clothes on Terrance’s back and let out a mournful cry.

A piercing and anguished sound erupted out, filled with extreme anger and self-blame!

“Chirp!!!!”

“Chirp!!!!”

For the recently hatched Swablu, Terrance had been like its parent, caring for it in every way. But now—

Terrance, in order to protect it, fled in a sorry state, enduring attacks. Though the battles have nothing to do with a Trainer, Terrance had been dragged into it due to his own negligence.

“Chirp~~!”

The residual numb sensation in its nerves only fueled the raging fire within Swablu’s heart!

The moment Seviper attacked Terrance, it directly touched upon the taboo in Swablu’s heart.

It wanted to make up for its carelessness!

“You’ve recovered, Swablu…” Terrance stood up calmly, sensing Swablu’s emotions as a Trainer. At this moment, what he needed to do was to join Swablu in reclaiming their dignity!

However, everything that happened next was beyond Terrance’s imagination!

Swablu’s condition seemed somewhat peculiar!

At this moment, Swablu’s consciousness still appeared to be partially clouded. Mixed with angry cries, it resembled a volcano about to erupt—

This is—

Suddenly, Swablu’s flying speed increased dramatically, and its entire body emitted a blue-purple flame-like glow. It released a terrifying aura that even Terrance could sense. With a sharp sound, it pierced through the air, soaring at a speed comparable to Agility. Simultaneously, the blue-purple flames surged throughout its body. Similar to Take Down, this move, Terrance hadn’t considered important due to Swablu’s small size before. However, at this moment, the flames propelled Swablu’s flight, imbued with killing intent that merged with Swablu’s conviction. Witnessing this scene, Terrance was stunned, shouting out in astonishment.

“Dragon… Rush!”
