Tropes

  • Accidental Misnaming: Oh Alder, miscuing people's names:
    • Trip, mistaking his name as Tristan.
    • Ash, mistaking his name as Ashton.
  • Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Dragonite makes it clear that he only allowed himself to be caught by Iris so that she could be a glorified transport for him, to take him to strong opponents that he could then fight and defeat on his own terms, not listening to her commands.
  • Casanova Wannabe: Alder is depicted as this when he offers to take Cynthia out for lunch, only to be turned down out of hand.
  • Fight Off the Kryptonite: Dragonite manages to break out of Beartic's Ice Beam, even though Dragons are profoundly weak against Ice-type attacks.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Georgia makes clear to Iris that, even though Dragonite won the match, he was not obeying her, and this could cause an issue in the future.
  • Scissors Cuts Rock: The fact that Dragonite fights off Beartic's Ice Beam suggests it is heavily overpowered. In the games, unless you are the region's Champion, if a Pokémon is too strong, it will refuse to obey you. This could be the case for Dragonite in relation to Iris, especially finishing off Beartic without using his Flamethrower.
