The power of darkness.
Terrifying.
Magnificent.
And yet, there is something more flashy to be said of the power of the dragon, isn't there?
It's horrific flaming breath, it's massive, flashing fangs, it's terrifying stature.
No, there's no question who is the most impressive in this match.

"...doesn't that beat all. I didn't think he'd hold his liquor that poorly." Rei sighed.
Ted, curiously, poked the small grub-like legless lizard in front of him.
No, there's no question who is the most impressive in this match, that's certain.
Ultimately, drunken Pygmy Ryu did score a bit of a moral victory, in that he set Ted's hair and clothes on fire as the curious Ted poked, prodded, and generally acted irrationally curious about him. But the match ended the same way it would have anyways, with an unhappy Ryu passed out on the floor.
The main difference is he probably wouldn't have vomitted the other way.
And he probably would have also been killed, too, instead of just passing out after his dragon form was killed.
Still, overall, it's not so bad. Ryu's pain was dulled, Ted was ogled by a bunch of girls before he realized just how much of his clothes had burned off, and Rei has learned to not subject his friend to chains of impossible-to-say-no-to questions except when it's exceptionally funny. It could have been far worse.
