Tch. Gyarados isn't strong enough to transcend typing, then. A failed experiment. (That is how he will consider this in the future. In fact, that was totally always the Kaiser's plan! Yes!)

He's quite happy to let the rest of the group take the brunt of the assault while Gyarados rests, though, Ralts standing in front of him (brandishing his tiny standard flag) as a Nasty Plot dawns on him from behind his mask. Everyone here is only useful as cannon fodder. Perhaps he shall have to take to the battlefield himself! For the finishing blow!
