Ash was still too slow. Meowth kicked Magikarp, sending it flying, right towards the pool ahead.
Splash!!!
After falling into the water, it splashed, seemingly not causing much of a stir.
"Hmph! Just posturing, Meowth!"
Meowth listened to Ash's words, thinking something would happen. But then he thought, it's just a Magikarp, there's nothing to be afraid of. However...
Boom!!!
Magikarp had just fallen into the water when a light burst from the bottom of the pool. The light pierced through the water, illuminating the pool. At this moment, at the bottom of the pool, Misty's Pokémon and the gym's Pokémon all felt an astonishing aura.
They all shrunk together, seeming a little afraid. The people on the shore also noticed.
"This... what is this light??"
"I have a very bad feeling!" Jessie and James saw this and huddled together. Jessie couldn't help but swallow.
"M-me too!"
At this moment, Magikarp, who had fallen into the water, was emitting a dazzling light. Then, within the light, it gradually began to change, its body size rapidly increasing. As its body lengthened, it gradually broke through the water surface.
Roar!!!
A roar from the water made Meowth shiver. Then he felt a shadow envelop him. A slender figure slowly rose from the water, its entire body covered in blue scales, which gleamed exceptionally brightly as the water flowed over them.
Water cascaded from the trident-like horn on its head. Its mouth, resembling a never-closing blood-soaked maw, along with its fierce eyes, made it difficult to connect it to the dull-eyed Magikarp from before.
"Gyar... Gar... Gyarados!"
Looking at the enormous body with crimson pupils emerging from the water, Meowth trembled with fear. As a Pokémon, it naturally knew that Magikarp evolved into Gyarados.
But it had no idea that Magikarp would choose to evolve at this moment. Looking at the fierce Gyarados before them, let alone Meowth, even Jessie and James behind him were so scared they huddled together.
Gyarados's ability, Intimidate, made weak Pokémon tremble just by being stared at. Not to mention Meowth.
"Gyar... Gyarados..." Not just Team Rocket, even Misty began to tremble at this sight. Gyarados was her trauma.
It could even be said that in terms of her fear, Gyarados felt even more terrifying to her than Bug-type Pokémon. She was no longer afraid of Bug-type Pokémon, but her fear of Gyarados had not disappeared.
Because when she was little, she almost got eaten by a Gyarados while playing. Although Gyarados only wanted to play with her at the time, she still couldn't forget it.
Roar!!!!
At this moment, Gyarados suddenly let out a furious roar. The roar caused air currents, and even the pool began to churn with waves. Clearly, it was enraged by Meowth's actions before it evolved. Gyarados's temper was very different from Magikarp's.
As Gyarados roared, the trident-like horn on its head suddenly emitted a blue light. The pool's water currents were also stirred by an unknown force.
Gyarados thrashed its body in the water. The surrounding water currents were propelled by a force, forming a powerful whirlwind. This energy, like a waterspout, coiled the water in the pool, forming a giant blue water tornado.
As the water tornado spun, the surrounding air seemed to generate electricity through friction. It wasn't an ordinary tornado; it was... Dragon Rage!
Boom!!!
This tornado directly spun and moved from the pool, then rushed onto the shore. Even the brick pavement was torn up. Meowth was the first to be swept in.
Then it crashed into the pump. The spinning force instantly crushed the pump. Jessie and James were also swept in amidst screams.
Finally, it even smashed through the already dilapidated wall, sweeping Team Rocket outside the gym. Then its power further increased. The astonishing force directly sent the three Team Rocket members flying.
"What a terrible feeling!!"
The scene before them was now a complete mess. The ground tiles were torn up, leaving a long trail. This showed that Gyarados's destructive power was indeed astonishing.
"So amazing!!" The three Sakura sisters were also stunned, especially Violet.
At that time, she, like Meowth, looked down on Magikarp. As a result, she was taught a lesson by Magikarp. But looking at the evolved Gyarados now, she actually felt fortunate that she was facing Magikarp, not Gyarados.
And the inexplicable feeling Ash had just now was also a premonition that Magikarp was on the verge of evolving. He just didn't know why he suddenly had such a feeling just now. He also felt it was a bit strange.
Thinking about it, it should also be related to Arceus's power, but until now, he still didn't know what secrets this power held, nor could he utilize it well.
Slowly composing himself, he walked towards the side of the pool. He reached the edge of the pool. At this moment, Gyarados also turned its head and looked at Ash.
Roar!!!
Gyarados let out a low roar. For some reason, Misty shivered when she heard this roar, even worrying about Ash's danger. But she saw Ash wasn't bothered; he just slightly raised his hand.
Then, the terrifying Water Tyrant, who made others tremble upon hearing its name, now acted like a child, squinting and rubbing its head against Ash's hand.
"You've worked hard! Magikarp, no, it should be Gyarados now."
Weak Pokémon had very short evolution cycles at the beginning, and Magikarp was no exception. If it weren't for this, they wouldn't be able to survive.
PS: There are too many versions of Dragon Rage. Although moves like Hyper Beam also have a few revised versions, Dragon Rage is indeed the most numerous. Originally, Gyarados used Dragon Rage, which summoned a companion in the form of a tornado. This form was maintained until Lance's Dragonite in the Johto League.
But in the Johto League conference, it became the form of Charizard's energy ball. Later, in the Sinnoh region, Dawn's opponent Ursula's Gabite also used the energy ball form. Then in the Unova region, it became the Axew's blue beam form. Later, it became a purple beam.
Moves like Hyper Beam could still decide one form, but moves like Dragon Rage were difficult to determine. So the setting is that different Pokémon use Dragon Rage in different ways.
