They are incapable of fighting.
Aside from Dratini, Red's other eight Pokémon are all Elite Four level Pokémon, so it's fair to say that Red could only crush them in this battle.
"Laplace, I'm entrusting him to you!"
Therefore, Crimson didn't hesitate and patted Laplace's neck, signaling it to take over the battle.
"La~ Woo~~!!!"
Laplace responded with a soft hum, flicked its forefins, and swam to the surface of the water, ready for battle.
...
...
One minute later.
"La~woo~!"
Lapras swayed, dodging the opponent's second Pokémon, Kingler's Claw Hammer, and then, with a soft whimper, concentrated Ice-type energy on the horn on its forehead.
A freeze-drying shot hit the giant crab that was trying to dodge with perfect accuracy, taking it down in one strike.

Thus, Crimson emerged victorious in the battle, earning 2000 League Coins from veteran Trainer Hideyuki.
The two exchanged a brief conversation before parting ways and leaving the area.
...
...
After finishing his battle with Hideyuki, Akane immediately found an open space near a stream and set up a small campsite.
Then, he quickly released the Dratini from its Poké Ball.
"Meow~woo~~~"
The Dratini that emerged from the Poké Ball no longer stuck directly to Crimson's body as usual, but instead curled up and wriggled on the ground.
This phenomenon indicates that the dwarf dragon has entered its molting period.
Molting is a process that dwarf dragons must go through during their growth.
When a dwarf dragon accumulates enough energy, it will enter a molting period. During this stage, the dwarf dragon will repeatedly molt to grow.
The frequency is extremely high, almost to the point of being almost complete, with repeated shedding occurring once a day, or even less frequently.
During molting, the life energy within the dwarf dragon's body expands continuously, manifesting in an uncontrollable manner.
During this period, Dratini is at its most vulnerable and absolutely cannot be disturbed by anyone from the outside world, not even Red himself.
At the same time, he cannot help the Mini Dragon molt; he can only stay not far away from the Mini Dragon and guard it.
Because the molting period is something that the dwarf dragon must complete on its own, any interference from outsiders will cause it to fail. And failure can mean either being stuck in this state for the rest of its life or, in severe cases, leaving this world.
If it successfully molts, it will transform into a dragon, which is the most amazing evolution of Pokémon!

202. The Pokémon hailed as sacred, Dragonair! (Please subscribe to the full series!)
half a month later.
After more than ten days of repeated molting, the dwarf dragon's growth is about to reach its final stage.
"Meow~woo~~~!!!"
Accompanied by a long dragon's roar that echoed along the stream, pure white light also burst forth at this moment!
Having completed its final molt, the dwarf dragon officially began its growth, its entire body radiating white light, and its life leaping forth at this moment.
The tiny figure in the white light was continuously elongated, representing that the Dratini was evolving into a completely new form.
moment.
The white light gradually disappeared.
An elegant, slender, serpentine Pokémon appeared by the stream, its red color shimmering before its eyes.
It is the evolved form of Dratini, a pseudo-legendary Pokémon in the Kanto region, a Dragon Pokémon... Dragonair!
Dragonair is a long, serpentine Pokémon with a slender body covered in sapphire-blue scales and a bright white belly.
It has a pair of bright black eyes, a small white horn on its forehead, and two small wings on the sides of its head.
The dragon has three crystal-blue beads on its body, one at the bottom of its neck and the other two at the end of its tail.
Dragonair inhabits beautiful oceans or lakes and is considered a sacred Pokémon.
Although it has no wings, it is occasionally seen flying in the air by manipulating the weather to ride the wind and rise into the sky.
It is said that if you can see it twisting and flying in the air during the New Year, you will have good health throughout the year.
According to eyewitness accounts, Hakkarosaurus exudes a mysterious aura and stores enormous energy within its body. It can concentrate this energy on crystal-like beads on its neck and tail to manipulate the weather. When its entire body is enveloped in this aura and begins to glow slightly, the surrounding weather will also change accordingly.
Since ancient times, it has been worshipped by agricultural people as the weather god. People believed that it could control the weather, so offerings were always provided to the lake where Hakkar Dragon lived.
...
...
"Gurgle~ Ooh~!"
Having successfully evolved, the Hakuryu opened its bright black eyes, surveyed its surroundings, and then fixed its gaze on the boy not far away.
"Gurgle~ Ooh~~~?"
Hakron swayed and floated in the air, arriving in front of the boy. Its slender body wrapped around the boy like a child, and it affectionately rubbed against the boy's cheek.
"You've grown up now."
Seeing this, Crimson couldn't help but smile slightly, looking at Dragonair, which had lost its cuteness as Dratini and become elegant and beautiful, and touched its neck.
It has to be said that before evolving into their final forms, both Dratini and Dragonair are quite attractive.
However, once it evolves to the final stage, it becomes obese... um...
Honestly, the pure cuteness of Dratini and the elegant beauty of Hakkarosaurus make it hard to associate them with their clumsy, chubby appearance.
Even Red, a battle maniac, felt a headache coming on at the thought that such a beautiful and elegant Dragonair would evolve into a clumsy, fat idiot.
Or maybe we shouldn't evolve it at all. Anyway, Crimson Dragon doesn't lack combat power now, and unlike its weak Dratini days, Dragonair is quite strong.
However, the final decision rests with Dragonair, as Red still respects the Pokémon's wishes.
"..."
Crimson gathered her thoughts and prepared to check the information about Hakron after its evolution. Immediately, with a thought, Crimson's power surged within her.
Within those crimson eyes, a stream of colorful light, invisible to anyone, flickered and shimmered!

[Status: Good, Ancient Bloodline]
Very good. After evolving into Dragonair, its level successfully jumped from Elite Peak to Senior Early Stage, and its base stats also increased by 10 points in all categories except Speed due to its Ancient Bloodline.
As a Pokémon that matures late, Dragonair has done a remarkable job of reaching this level in about two months.
After all, a pseudo-god's power and potential are only fully unlocked after it evolves into its final form; only then can it be considered a true pseudo-god.

"Roar~!!!"
"Pikachu!"
"Click!"
"Crack!"
"Bu~yi!"
"La~woo!"
"Hey~!"
"..."
At this moment, the red Pokémon, the older brothers and sisters who had watched Dratini grow up, as well as the newly joined Articuno, all gathered around and roared in celebration for Dragonair.
"Gurgle~ Ooh..."
