'''What a Dragonite''' (Japanese: '''VSカイリュー''' ''VS. {{tt|Kairyu|Dragonite}}'') is the twenty-fourth round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Synopsis==

In the depths of {{rt|19|Kanto}}, {{Adv|Red}} is seen alongside [[Poli]] searching for [[HM03]] with the [[Itemfinder]]; the boy having earlier consulted [[Professor Oak]] on the need of HMs to complete his journey. The fact that Red's rival, {{Adv|Blue}}, had already located the Hidden Machine, only fuels his determination to find it. Although Red successfully locates the item, he is astonished to discover a {{p|Dragonite}} lurking in the waters nearby, who asserts its territory and flings them out of the water.

Knowing that he cannot reach the HM unless he gets the Dragonite out of the water, Red has [[Pika]] go underwater to lure Dragonite out of the water, with help from [[Saur]]'s vine. Pika successfully does so, and as Dragonite surfaces Red has [[Lax]] fight the Dragonite on the boulder they were flung on, while he quickly dives down to retrieve the HM. However, the combined weight of the Dragonite and Lax is too much for the boulders to bear, and everyone falls into the water. Red desperately tries to swim for the Hidden Machine, but Dragonite notices him and attacks; the attack misses Red, but hits the HM and breaks it. Amidst attempting to dodge Dragonite's attacks, Red is pinned under a heavy boulder, and as he loses his breath he sees a {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} appear to face Dragonite. As the dragons fight, Red is rescued by [[Misty|someone]] he guesses to be a mermaid in his state of semi-consciousness, who brings him to the surface.

On the surface, Red is surprised to find himself supported by a {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}; the presence of the Water Pokémon and the mermaid rouses his memories, more so when Gyarados looks back at Red with a knowing glance. Seeing Dragonite getting ready to attack, Red instinctively calls for a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, which Gyarados unleashes to match that of Dragonite. As the smoke clears from the clashing attacks, Dragonite falls back into the waters, defeated...
