Frenzied State

Fraxure immediately used his Dragon Claw as he rushed toward the Primeape in the center.

Bang

Both collided and Fraxure overpowered the Primeape with his strength.

The Primeape was knocked back in pain but became even angrier and rushed again toward Fraxure.

Horsea used Tackle against the left Primeape.

Bang

Horsea stepped back a bit but didn't get hurt. With a buff from Dragon Dance, she managed to contend with a Primeape of more than level 30+.

When some Mankeys tried to intercept, the Goomys immediately assisted her by using Bubble against them.

Floyd rushed toward the right Mankey. When the Mankey saw him, it just snorted. As it was about to attack him, Floyd dodged and then used a 'Wild Dragon Style: Dragon Claw.'

"Axe!" Floyd shouted as he formed his hands into a claw.

Screeeeech!

"PRIME!" Floyd's opponent, the Primeape, screamed in pain and then charged at him using Fury Swipes. Floyd dodged the first attack, and during the second Fury Swipe, two Mankeys attempted to sneak attack him, but fortunately, Growlithe used Flame Wheel against them.

Floyd used both his hands to defend himself against the Mankey.

BANG!

Floyd was knocked back. His hands were bruised from the attack.

The opponent was not finished yet and used another Fury Swipe. Floyd had no time to think and just instinctively dodged it. Although he dodged, his shoulder was scratched, and blood started to come out.

Floyd then rushed at the Mankey and used Breaking Swipe, but this time it was not with his hand but his leg. He used his full force to kick the Primeape in the stomach. The Primeape had no time to dodge, but it didn't care whether it could dodge or not; it was complacent, thinking it could take the hit.

But the Primeape underestimated Floyd's power because he was not comparable to the human the Primeape thought he was. It stepped back in pain and became even angrier.

At this time, the five injured Primeapes started to join the battle, and Mankeys began to surround them.

"Ehew!" Dratini managed to complete his Dragon Dance and was ready to join the battle.

"Everyone, come back, let's stick together," Floyd said, knowing they were at a disadvantage this time.

Floyd's Pokémon nodded and started to close in with each other, looking alertly at the Mankeys and Primeapes surrounding them.

"Fraxure," (Master, I want to use Dragon Dance.)

"What? It's so dangerous," Floyd shook his head, feeling troubled about Fraxure's suggestion. Swords Dance had already put much pressure on Fraxure; adding Dragon Dance might cause Fraxure to go out of control.

"Fraxure-" (We're in a stalemate)

As this was happening, the strongest Primeape, followed by other Primeapes, charged again toward Fraxure, with Mankeys observing from the sidelines.

Fraxure reacted immediately, deploying Breaking Swipe. This move was quickly supported by Dratini's Extreme Speed and Horsea's Tackle. As a result, the Primeape was sent reeling back again.

Witnessing their leaders losing the fight, the Mankeys grew increasingly agitated and angry, then decided to join the fray, rushing towards Floyd's group.

In response, everyone in Floyd's team braced themselves, defending and counterattacking against the onslaught of Mankeys. Amidst the chaos, Floyd seized an opportunity to target one injured Primeape with Dragon Claw.

"Axe!" he shouted. This attack proved effective, as the Primeape lost consciousness and collapsed.

[Ding! Congratulations on defeating Primeape. +20 points]

Though Floyd had successfully taken down one of the Primeapes, the rest of the group continued their aggressive assault, leaving Floyd feeling desperate and helpless.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, he called out, "Fraxure, do it, use Dragon Dance!" Then, he quickly rummaged through his backpack for something that might help.

Meanwhile, Hu Tianyi, having narrowly escaped the dangerous confrontation, was panting heavily from his hasty retreat.

"Hu, hu, hu, I survived, hahaha," he gasped, a mixture of relief and laughter escaping him as he realized he was no longer being pursued by the Mankeys and Primeape.

His relief was palpable, considering how terrified he had been at the sight of the large group of Pokémon charging towards them, a fear so intense it nearly caused him to lose his composure completely.

Focused solely on his own safety, Hu Tianyi showed no concern for Floyd's predicament. He glanced back to check on his Pokémon, only to find them exhausted from carrying the three unconscious Mankey.

"Hu, hu, hu, everyone survived, hahaha, good, good, you all were really the best! Hahaha, and now I also have these three beasts, which means I now have ten beasts! Hahahaha!" His elation was evident, as he reveled in the thought of his growing strength and the prospect of soon catching up to Floyd.

However, upon realizing Floyd was nowhere in sight, Hu Tianyi couldn't help but wonder about his whereabouts.

Could Floyd still be engaged in battle?

Hu Tianyi pondered, looking back towards where they had come from. Squirtle, tugging at his shirt, pointed towards Floyd's last known location, then at his phone, and finally towards the Safe Zone.

Eevee and the other Pokémon also appeared worried about Floyd, their eyes conveying concern to Hu Tianyi.

Understanding their cues, a thought crossed Hu Tianyi's mind: 'If Floyd dies here, other than Kanrakum, I will be…' A sly smile formed on his face as he pondered this scenario.

Deciding to take a moment's rest, he sat down and pulled something from his backpack. "Let's rest for a bit; we need to eat so we can have the energy to help him," he announced to his Pokémon, who, misled by his words, began to eat.

The reason Hu Tianyi remained in the forest was his concern about being branded a traitor. If he returned without informing Kanraku and the others about the situation, and Floyd happened to return alive, Hu Tianyi's reputation would be at risk.

Despite the low likelihood of Floyd's survival, Hu Tianyi was not willing to take chances. He needed a solid alibi in case things happened.

In his mind, he had already written off Floyd as dead. This thought brought him a perverse sense of joy, as he reflected on how Floyd's strength and charisma had overshadowed him.

Hu Tianyi mused over the irony of Floyd's potential demise in the forest - a single mistake erasing all his achievements.

'Aren't you arrogant, looking down on me and feeling strong? Serves you right, hahaha,' he thought gleefully.

'Earlier, I was still planning revenge over a year, but now, it seems karma has expedited it to just an hour.' Hu Tianyi relished this thought, savoring the idea of Floyd's downfall as he enjoyed his meal.

…

Back in the midst of battle, Floyd decided to release Dragonite from his Pokeball.

Bang!

The appearance of the huge Dragon caused the Primeapes and Mankeys to pause briefly, taken aback by its imposing presence. However, their hesitation was short-lived, and they soon prepared to attack.

Floyd had anticipated this response. While other creatures might be intimidated by Dragonite's aura, Mankeys and Primeapes were different - they fearlessly challenged any opponent, regardless of strength.

Realizing this, Floyd quickly returned Dragonite to its Pokeball. The Primeapes and Mankeys, now even angrier and without Dragonite to focus on, turned their aggression toward Floyd and his remaining Pokémon.

"This is enough, right?" Floyd murmured, glancing at Fraxure. But as he observed Fraxure, he noticed something alarming: Fraxure's eyes was red, indicating a loss of control.

"It's bad! Everyone, go away!" Floyd shouted, urgently commanding his Pokémon to flee.

The Primeapes and Mankeys noticed their retreat and gave chase. But before they could gain ground, Fraxure, now in a frenzied state, lunged at them using Dragon Claw.

Screeeech!
