Chapter 23
Our Dragons Are Different II
The nine were on the cliffside of the mountain, deciding to make a detour to Iris's hometown, the Village of Dragons.
Exhausted, Kyon muttered, "Are we there yet? It's not like we're still on Namek or anything."
Almost everyone fell onto their faces, except for Yuki, who was still rather looking stoic.
Iris replied, "Kyon, we're not on Namek anymore, because we have already arrived!"
Iris looked at the bird's eye view of the Village of Dragons, indicating that they have indeed arrived.
"So this is where you spent your early days before you left, Iris," said Ash.
"Ash, Cilan, Brendan, Haruhi, and the rest of the SOS Brigade, hurry up!" shouted Iris, running ahead of them.
"If we go to the Village of Dragons, we can get to Opelucid City in no time," she thought to herself as she rushed ahead, "But I wouldn't want to end up meeting Drayden again even though should I go to Opelucid City. Besides, I want to meet up with everyone in the village without getting caught by him!"
When Ash, Cilan, Brendan, Haruhi, and the rest of the SOS Brigade caught up with Iris, the latter exclaimed, "Here it is, the Village of Dragons!"
Ash, Haruhi, Mikuru, and Cilan were all amazed at the view of the village.
In the grassy fields, there were several Axew playing together, a Fraxure and Haxorus taking a rest, along with a Druddigon.
Kyon remarked to himself, "Indeed, Iris is right. No wonder this is a village for certain Pokemon."
Cilan added, "I feel the Dragon type aroma in this place."
Suddenly, a voice was heard from afar.
"Iris!"
Iris noticed that voice, and it turns out to be a friend of hers.
"Welcome back, Iris!"
"It's nice to meet you again, Shobu!" Iris responded, referring to her friend.
"How's everything going? Are you still traveling?" Shobu asked, approaching Iris.
"Yes, and we only came here just to stop by."
"It's good to know that you are still fine, Iris," said Shobu, "As well as your Axew."
Axew mentioned its name.
"You're still looking fine, Shobu," said Iris. She then introduced her to Ash, Brendan, Cilan, and the five members of the SOS Brigade.
"She's a good friend of mine here in the village."
Shobu introduced herself, saying, "It's nice to meet all of you. I'm Shobu."
The eight proceeded to introduce themselves.
After Haruhi's introduction, Shobu responded, "So you call all five of yourselves the SOS Brigade? What do you do?"
Haruhi replied, "We're aiming to look for strange and mysterious phenomena."
"So that's what all five of you do? That would be cool!" Shobu exclaimed, "And that Pikachu. . . . . . it's a rare sight to see."
Shobu was referring to Ash's Pikachu.
"I'm traveling with all eight of them at the moment," explained Iris.
"Iris, can you tell me about what you did in your journey? I was also wondering what are the Pokemon you have encountered," said Shobu.
"Of course! A lot of things happened, especially when Haruhi and her subordinates decided to travel with us! But first, I need to go to the Elder."
Suddenly, two Zweilous showed up from the rustling grass, one of them grabbing an apple with its teeth.
"Those are Zweilous!" exclaimed Iris as the two Pokemon approached Shobu by her commands.
"I raised these Zweilous because they were entrusted under my ownership," explained Shobu, patting one of them on one of its two heads.
"What are those Pokemon again called as?" asked both Kyon and Ash.
The latter scanned one of the two Zweilous on his Pokedex.
Kyon looked at Ash's Pokedex and it said, "Zweilous, the Hostile Pokemon, and the evolved form of Deino. After eating up all of the food in its territory, it moves into another area. The two heads do not always get along."
Cilan commented, "It appears they seem to get along well with each other."
"The two Deino in which they evolved from was hatched in the same day, which explains why they're like brothers," Shobu explained, referring to the Zweilous whose two heads each had an apple on its bite, "The little one obviously hatched first, so I'm thinking it's the elder brother that I just nicknamed Toothless. It tends to have a huge appetite."
She added, referring to the other Zweilous, "And this is the younger brother, Hiccup."
Kyon remarked, "That was hard work raising those two Zweilous. I wonder if they tend to fight with each other."
"Well, sometimes they do, but as I mentioned earlier, they tend to treat themselves like brothers for most of the time."
Haruhi asked, "Can I pat one of your Zweilous?"
"Sure, as long as you do it gently though. Even though Zweilous evolve from Deino, they still do not have a sense of sight, and because of that, they do not like to be patted by strangers."
Haruhi gently patted the older Zweilous gently on one of its two heads, amazing Kyon.
"That Haruhi, no wonder she must be a friend to a lot of Pokemon," remarked Kyon.
"How about you try it, Kyon?" suggested Haruhi.
"Why me?"
Kyon then sighed and said, "Alright. I'll give it a try then."
Kyon attempted to pat the younger Zweilous. However, just before Kyon could touch one of the Zweilous's heads, one of them attempted to bite his hand before he could touch anything. Fortunately, Kyon avoided it.
"You're not doing it properly, Kyon!" yelled Haruhi.
Shobu added, "As you can see, the younger Zweilous doesn't like strangers a lot. It tends to bite anyone who tries to touch it."
Kyon mumbled, "Yeah, right. I should've patted the older Zweilous instead."
"One more thing, Shobu. Can you tell me what a Deino looks like?" he added, "After all, it is mentioned that it evolves into Zweilous."
Almost everyone fell on their faces.
Haruhi exclaimed, "Kyon, don't you even know what a Deino really is?"
"I really don't have a clue, Haruhi."
When Ash pushed some buttons on the Pokedex, Kyon looked at it and it said, "Deino, the Irate Pokemon. Having no sight, they use their bites to eat everything that it bumps into and learn about their surroundings. It is dangerous to approach it without any precaution."
"Alright, we should be going now, since I'll go and say hello to the Elder. All of us would like to come to your place later, okay?"
"Sure. Don't forget to talk about what happened in your journey!"
She looked at Haruhi and added, "Oh, I'm also looking forward to knowing fully what that group of yours do. Tell me when you come back along with Iris and your friends!"
In the home of the Elder. . . . .
"So, it's you again, Iris," said the Elder, "Are you fine today?"
"Yes."
"Then that means Ash, Cilan, Brendan, and the rest of your friends from the SOS Brigade are also fine."
"Yes, ma'am," replied Ash, "It is nice to meet you."
"It is also nice to meet you," greeted both Cilan and Haruhi.
"Iris explained, "Ash will participate in the Unova League tournament in Higaki City, and so, we all decided to make a detour here. Haruhi and her four other friends have decided to join with us, along with another good friend, Brendan."
"Now that's a lot of people you have been traveling with, Iris," said the Elder, "Ash and Kyon, both of you were probably in trouble because of her."
"Well, not really," replied both Ash and Kyon in unison, dropping their sweat, "We actually made friends with her, that's all."
"She's quite the tomboy when compared to the others. Apparently, it would be a bit stressful traveling with her."
"Uh, yeah," said Ash, causing Iris to become offended.
"Perhaps we should compare it from the Iris back then," explained the Elder, referring to the time in Iris's childhood when she was playing with the Pokemon.
"That was actually from a long time ago," Iris said, being exasperated.
"That Iris, she has changed a lot of her personality from her childhood days," Kyon concluded.
"What was that?!" Iris exclaimed, causing almost everyone to laugh.
Suddenly, Axew jumped out of Iris's hair, approaching the Elder.
"Axew, are you fine today?"
Axew cheerfully said its name, indicating that it said yes.
Iris added, "It hasn't evolved yet though."
"Evolution is not about everything. Let's check on your Axew then."
The Elder stared at Axew, and one moment later, she concluded, "This Axew of yours is well raised."
Kyon remarked, "The matriarch of this village is very friendly."
Itsuki added, "She's also a kind person."
"You're right, Kyon and Itsuki. But the way she did after staring at Axew wasn't that very usual," replied Cilan.
One of the two boys beside the Elder asked Iris, "Do you have any other Dragon-type Pokemon with you? If you have any, can you show them to her?"
With everyone outside in order for the Elder to check out Iris's other Dragon-type Pokemon, the latter summoned Dragonite.
"So you got yourself a Dragonite, Iris," said the Elder.
One of the two boys added and remarked, "It's quite decently powerful."
Iris's Dragonite, as usual, looked for someone to challenge with until it noticed a Haxorus who took notice of the former in response.
The two decided to have a battle with each other, leaving Iris worried.
"What should we do now?" the latter asked.
The Elder decided to approach the two Pokemon, concerning Iris.
Dragonite attempted to land a punch, but the Elder avoided it, causing Dragonite to fall over and lose momentum.
The Elder proceeded to calm down Haxorus, pushing it gently away from Dragonite, saying, "Now, now. Everything's alright. Everything's going to be fine now. There, there."
She also managed to calm down the latter, also doing what she did to Haxorus.
"There, there. Everything's alright now," she said, gently patting her fingers on Dragonite's face, "You are seeing a rival in a fellow Dragon-type Pokemon, right?"
Haruhi and Ash both remarked, "Wow. That must be cool enough for her to calm Iris's Dragonite."
The former added, "Kyon, perhaps you should try to be like her too!"
Kyon was exasperated.
After calmly speaking some words of wisdom to Dragonite, the Elder said, "Perhaps that's enough for today, Iris."
Iris recalled her Dragonite.
"I never expected that you have had a lot of experience dealing with Dragon-types," remarked Cilan.
Haruhi added, "I'm bored. Can Iris give us a tour of the entire village?"
"Sure, Iris can do that," replied the Elder.
"Haruhi, we'll make a visit to Shobu's farm. Maybe it would interest you," suggested Iris.
"You mean the girl with the Zweilous, right?" asked Kyon.
Cilan added, "I would look forward to going there."
Iris exclaimed, "Let's go, then!"
"Right!"
When the nine headed off, the Elder asked a certain Gym Leader, who snuck behind the trees, "Are you fine with that if she went ahead?"
"Yes. I'll look forward to knowing how everything's going with her."
"Iris still believes that she had ran away without telling you."
"I want her to show me what happens should she make her own decision to travel."
In Shobu's farm, Shobu herself was tending to her two Zweilous. That was when Iris and the rest of the group showed up.
"Shobu!"
"Iris!"
When Iris approached Shobu and noticed one of her Zweilous resting, she asked, "What seems to be the problem with one of your Zweilous?"
"Toothless had a huge appetite until now, when something went wrong with it."
"It ate too much, and because of that, it can't probably move," thought Iris.
"It did?"
Ash and Kyon's tummies both rumbled.
"Sorry about that," said Ash, exasperating Iris.
"Perhaps all of you should spend some lunch at my place," suggested Shobu.
"Are you fine with that?"
"I want to know about what happened in your adventures. I also want to know why did Haruhi set up her own brigade, although I have to stay close to Toothless."
Kyon asked, "You can't be able to leave the place without tending to your Zweilous?"
Iris said, "In that case, we'll have to drop by."
"That would be a good idea, Iris," Ash responded.
"Thanks," Shobu replied to Iris's suggestion, "We've got lots of delicious cheese. Would all of you like to try?"
In the living room of the farmhouse, Ash, Iris, Brendan, Cilan, Kyon, Yuki, Haruhi, Mikuru, and Itsuki were all being offered by Shobu some cheese and bread. Ash's Pikachu and Iris's Axew were provided some Pokemon food.
"I would like to thank all of you for helping me tend the Zweilous back to their sheds."
"You're welcome," replied both Haruhi and Ash.
The two then exclaimed in unison, "This bread tastes real good!"
Kyon remarked, "It's probably because of the cheese on it."
Itsuki added, "Thanks for providing us this delicious treat."
"The bread and cheese are surely in for a good taste," Cilan said.
"What do you guys think of the Village of Dragons? It's got lots of fresh air and a lot of good food," said Iris.
"Well, yeah. The food tastes real good indeed," replied Ash.
"I like something with a peaceful aroma too," added Cilan.
"I see," said Shobu, eventually in a worried mood, "But I prefer to start on my own journey like Iris."
"That would be a great idea," said Iris, "During our childhood days, we would want to imagine what the world outside the village would look like, right?"
"But I really don't have the same specialty as you," replied the worried Shobu, "What I'm suited in right now is just to learn some more about breeding here in this village."
"I don't have specialty either," said Iris.
"The truth is, only a few people in the Village of Dragons can understand the feelings of Dragon-type Pokemon, one of them is the Elder. Iris, the Elder just said that you are also one of them. Even though Haruhi isn't from this village, she might be heading for that way too."
"I do?"
"Yes, Haruhi. The Elder just saw you when you patted out Toothless earlier and thought that you might have potential."
Mikuru asked, "At least you still have the two Zweilous that you can raise, right?"
"But that's all I can do."
"That's actually a good idea. Doing proper Pokemon breeding is already a good thing to start off with, no matter what species of Pokemon it is," convinced Cilan.
Haruhi added, "And of course, traveling isn't that boring, because if you continued to stay here, it's the other way around."
"If you wished to travel and see the sights of the outside world, why won't you plan to do it, Shobu?" asked Kyon, "After all, you just said you preferred to start on your own journey like Iris, right?"
"The truth is, if Hiccup and Toothless both evolved into Hydreigon, I want to go to the Elder and ask her if she would like me to. . . . go and start traveling like you, Iris."
"Don't worry about that! I'm sure the Elder will agree to your decision," replied Iris.
"I. . . . I really don't know if that will happen. . . . . ," Shobu replied, "And oh, I just forgot something. Haruhi, can you explain fully about the reason why you set up that brigade of yours?"
"Kyon, explain the main objectives for the chief and that's an order!" exclaimed Haruhi.
"Okay, the main purpose of the establishment of the SOS Brigade is that Haruhi was on the lookout for aliens, time travelers, espers, sliders, and among others. I lectured Haruhi about boring things like normal life and individuals, and a few moments later, she was suddenly convinced to start her own club in which it would be later called the SOS Brigade."
Suddenly, they all heard cries from the Zweilous.
"I wonder what seems to be the problem with the Zweilous," thought Shobu.
The ten rushed outside the farmhouse, noticing the panicking Zweilous on the other side of the fence.
"That's weird," said Haruhi, "There's only one of them."
"I think that's Hiccup. Toothless is missing," added Shobu, "What's the problem?"
The ten followed Hiccup as it headed for the lake.
When Hiccup stopped, the group also stopped, noticing the older Zweilous named Toothless, glowing in blue light.
"I wonder what's it doing," thought Kyon.
Haruhi replied, "Kyon, I think it's evolving."
"Evolving?"
"Don't you know how interesting it is when a Pokemon evolves?" exclaimed Haruhi, "If it does, it becomes stronger! Are you forgetting that one time in the Junior Cup when Yanma evolved?"
"Uh, I never expected that, Haruhi," replied Kyon.
Shobu smiled as the older Zweilous started its evolution stage.
"Thanks, Toothless," she tearfully said.
Ash scanned the newly evolved Hydreigon with his Pokedex. It said, "Hydreigon, the Brutal Pokemon and the evolved form of Zweilous. This brutal Pokemon travels to the skies with its six wings. It responds to anything that moves by attacking."
"Congratulations, Shobu! Your Toothless has just evolved!"
"But something's not right, Iris."
Toothless was trying to look at its new appearance by looking at its reflection in the lake. It was ostracized, firing a Draco Meteor that wrecked havoc on the entire village.
"Toothless, calm down!" shouted Shobu as she and Hiccup rushed closer to Toothless.
Toothless, still terrified of its new appearance, fired a Tri Attack from all three of its heads, causing Hiccup to dodge the attack.
Confident that it will stand up on its own, Hiccup jumped and hit Toothless with a Double Hit.
However, the latter retaliated by using Outrage. Two of its head-like hands simply bit both of Hiccup's wings, enabling the main head to hit Hiccup with a powerful headbutt that sent it knocked away into the ground.
"Hiccup, hang in there!"
Iris, Haruhi, Kyon, Mikuru, Cilan, Yuki, Ash, Itsuki, and Brendan all approached Shobu and Hiccup, who was already weakened due to Outrage.
"Shobu, are you alright?" asked both Iris and Brendan.
"Yeah, but I don't know what happened to Toothless. It used to behave before it evolved," replied the former.
Cilan theorized, "Some Pokemon are terrified of their new form after they evolve. Because of that, they tend to become agitated."
Kyon concluded, "That probably explains why Hydreigon became ostracized of its new form."
"If only there was a way to calm Toothless without laying the hurt on it," thought Shobu, "But how?"
Iris was feeling a bit worried too. However, she eventually remembered the one time when the Elder managed to calm down Dragonite.
"There, there. Everything's alright now," the Elder said, gently patting her fingers on Dragonite's face, "You are seeing a rival in a fellow Dragon-type Pokemon, right?"
Iris then said, "Perhaps I should give it a try. I need to be a bit closer to Hydreigon in order for this to work though."
She thought, "Is there a spot in the lake that is surrounded by hills?"
"It's right there on the opposite side of the lake," replied Shobu.
"Alright, then. Let's go, Dragonite and Emolga!"
When Iris summoned the two Pokemon, she commanded, "Dragonite and Emolga, redirect that Hydreigon to the opposite side of the lake!"
Suddenly, Brendan's Hydreigon popped out on its own from its Poke Ball.
"Hydreigon? You're gonna help too?" asked Brendan. His own Hydreigon agreed.
Shobu asked, "You also have a Hydreigon?"
"Yes, I do," replied Brendan, "Hydreigon, do the same and make sure your fellow friend is redirected to the opposite side of the lake as well!"
Iris's Dragonite and Emolga flew high up along with Brendan's own Hydreigon.
The three Pokemon attempted to redirect Toothless away from the lake by pretending to attack it using ThunderPunch, Discharge, and Dragon Pulse, respectively.
"Kyon, you have to do something to calm that Hydreigon down!" Haruhi exclaimed, referring to Toothless.
"But we don't have any Pokemon on hand, remember?"
"Oh, right," replied Haruhi.
Iris and the other nine rushed off as the former saw a corner in the hillside.
"Keep it up!" Iris commanded, "Try to make sure it is cornered at the opposite side of the river!"
"You too, Hydreigon!" Brendan instructed to his own Hydreigon.
Iris's Dragonite and Emolga, as well as Brendan's own Hydreigon, continued to redirect Toothless with their attacks as the latter was about to be cornered on a hillside not far from the lake.
"Almost there!" muttered Iris.
Ash said, "Iris is doing so well with that strategy."
"But the hard part begins there," replied Cilan.
"What hard part?" asked Kyon.
With Toothless now cornered in the hillside, Iris summoned out her Axew and Excadrill.
Toothless attempted to fly away, but Dragonite, Emolga, and Brendan's own Hydreigon stopped it as they all prepared to fire their attacks against it.
In retaliation, Toothless attempted to charge a Dragon Rush.
Quickly thinking, Iris commanded, "Axew, use Dragon Rage. Excadrill, use Focus Blast!"
Axew and Excadrill used their attacks to restrain Toothless from charging its attack.
"Everyone, keep trying to surround Toothless!" Iris instructed as she attempted to climb on top of the cliff, right behind Toothless.
"I'm gonna come for you, Toothless!" she exclaimed, jumping from the cliff and hopping in on Toothless' back.
The Brutal Pokemon thrashed Iris away. Fortunately, she wasn't hurt, attempting to make a second try.
"There's no way Iris can do it by herself," Kyon said.
"I think you're right, Kyon," replied Ash, "Pikachu, help Iris out!"
"Hold on a second!"
That voice was none other than the Elder herself.
"Was that the Elder?" thought Shobu.
While Iris made a second attempt to calm Toothless down by hopping on it from the top of the cliff, a certain man with a crooked beard that covered his mouth was observing her without Iris seeing him.
When Iris hopped on Toothless's back for the second time, she was being thrashed away again.
Axew wanted to battle, but Iris replied, "No, Axew. Just stay there and wait until I get the signal. Listen carefully."
"How can Iris be able to calm down Toothless if there's no one to help her out?" Haruhi ranted.
"Be patient and leave it to her," replied the Elder.
"But ~"
"There's no time to panic!" the Elder interrupted.
"I'm having a bad feeling that Iris would get hurt because of Toothless," said the worried Shobu.
"Watch closely on Iris, Shobu," replied the Elder, "And believe in Iris's aim to fulfill her dream of becoming a Dragon Master."
"Iris's dream to become a Dragon Master?" thought Shobu.
Toothless noticed Iris on top of the cliff.
"Axew, time to get ready!"
Axew realized that it was time for Iris's signal. The latter, along with Excadrill, fired a Dragon Rage and a Focus Blast, respectively, aiming downwards to the ground, catching Toothless' attention.
Iris jumped from the cliff and hopped on Toothless' back, attempting to calm it down.
However, Toothless's two heads both bit down on Iris's arms.
Despite the pain that was being inflicted on Iris, she tried to calm Toothless down, hugging it.
"Now, now, Toothless. There's nothing to be afraid of," she calmly said.
Toothless attempted to thrash Iris away, but it was eventually calmed down.
"Because of your evolution, you have had a lot of power. It also means that you have become stronger."
Kyon asked, "I wonder if that will work."
The Elder replied, "Just look closely."
Iris continued to calm down Toothless.
"Now, now, Hydreigon. Everything's okay now. You were just terrified of your new appearance, right? There, there. Everything's alright. After all, the other Hydreigon isn't afraid of its new self."
Iris successfully calmed Toothless down.
"There, it looks like Toothless is already fine," she said.
"Thanks, Iris!" Shobu exclaimed, glomping her.
"Iris, that was amazing!" remarked Ash.
Cilan added, "It was definitely the end result of an exquisite flavor that I want to try out."
The Elder said, "Axew and some of the other Pokemon have been raised very well. I knew that you could do it if you tried."
"Thanks!" Iris thanked the elder.
She noticed Brendan's Hydreigon and asked Iris, "Iris, is that your Pokemon?"
"No, that Hydreigon's not mine, it's actually Brendan's," replied Iris.
The Elder approached Brendan and said, "Your Hydreigon joined in and helped out?"
"Well, yeah. As you can see, it popped out on its own from its Poke Ball just to do so, that's all," Brendan replied, scratching his head.
"Perhaps I should check on your Hydreigon and see if it is well raised as well," the Elder said.
"Ok then."
After staring at Brendan's Hydreigon, she replied, "Like Iris's Axew, I think it's well trained as well. I think I know the reason why your Hydreigon tried to help out in calming down Shobu's Hydreigon. It tries to help out any Pokemon that are of its own kind."
"I see it now," Brendan concluded, "It likes to volunteer if the problem on hand happens to be from its own species."
"I was wondering about Iris's skills."
That voice seemed familiar to Iris, worrying her.
"Please don't tell me it's. . . . . . "
It was none other than Drayden himself, watching Iris all along when she made a return to the village. He simply showed up on top of the cliff.
"Drayden, why did you come to the Village of Dragons?" Iris asked in a worried mood.
Elder responded for Drayden and said, "Drayden heard about you coming to the village for a visit, and so he went here to go check out on you."
"Drayden, I'm really sorry for running away without your permission!" Iris exclaimed, attempting to forgive the former.
"I understand," replied Drayden, "I do know that you have grown up a bit. Let me show your prowess again in the Opelucid Gym, and I'll be waiting there."
He then went away.
Kyon and Ash both thought, "I wonder who was that guy."
Haruhi replied to Kyon's response, "Don't you know him, Kyon? He's Drayden, the Gym Leader of Opelucid City!"
"Don't tell me you're going to make me battle him again just like what happened with Marlon."
"Of course, you have to, Kyon! It wouldn't be boring if you were to battle a Gym Leader one more time, right?"
Kyon facepalmed and said, "We're going for yet another long way to go."
Iris said, "I think Drayden approves of me!"
The Elder said, "You have gotten strong-willed ever since you have started traveling, Iris."
Shobu nervously said to the Elder, "The truth is. . . . . . . . . . I want to start traveling once Hiccup evolves into a Hydreigon as well."
"As you can see, I'm waiting for you to make such decisions," replied the Elder, patting both of her hands on Shobu's shoulders, "Iris isn't the only one with a special talent. I have a lot of expectations for the younger people of the village to share and develop their talents and skills."
She added, "Keep that in mind that the will to move forward depends on your decision."
"Thank you for the piece of advice," Shobu said to the Elder.
"I'm glad for you, Shobu," Ash and Iris both said.
Cilan added, "I'm looking forward to seeing you once you start your journey."
"Sure, I will!"
"Shobu, let's do our best!" Iris said, appearing to get fired up.
That afternoon, Brendan's Hydreigon and Toothless were seen soaring above in the hills.
"Shobu, it seems my Hydreigon became friends with your Hydreigon," said Brendan, noticing the two Pokemon soaring in the air.
"Yeah, that was probably because of what happened earlier," replied Shobu.
"Brendan, it's time to go now!" Iris exclaimed, causing Brendan to hear her.
Shobu approached Toothless and said, "Toothless, I guess your friend wants to go now."
Toothless was sad about missing its new friend.
Brendan approached Toothless and said, patting it in the head, "Toothless, by the time Iris comes back to this village, she will leave you a greeting for my Hydreigon, got it?"
After a hug with Toothless, Brendan's Hydreigon was then recalled back to its Poke Ball as its Trainer caught up with Ash, Iris, Cilan and the rest of the gang from the SOS Brigade as they left the Village of Dragons, setting off to Opelucid City that afternoon.
Iris has managed to calm down Shobu's Toothless from its rampage, in which it became a few steps ahead before she becomes a full-fledged Dragon Master. Now, she is looking forward to facing Drayden in their second battle ever since the battle that became the reason why Excadrill once disobeyed her.
And speaking of Drayden, Kyon expects yet another similar challenge waiting for him because of Haruhi. . . . . .
TO BE CONTINUED. . . . .
On the next chapter:
Ash, Haruhi, and friends arrive in Opelucid City. Iris bumps into an old friend that she befriended when she was still in her childhood days at school. Kyon is being forced by Haruhi to team up with Iris in her rematch battle with Drayden, the Gym Leader of Opelucid City. Will Kyon once again comply to the orders of Haruhi by winning this gym battle? Find out in the next chapter of The Best Wishes of Haruhi Suzumiya!

Author's note #2: There are some differences in this chapter compared to the actual episode. The older Hydreigon uses Tri Attack and Outrage, and instead of using Wing Attack, the younger Zweilous that hasn't evolved uses Double Hit, given the fact that Zweilous can't learn Wing Attack at all.
