Yes, I'm making sure I'm getting this right this time and ah look, you haven't eaten an Enigma Berry! Boy, do I hatę̹͓͍͔̳̳͍̣̳͙̋̾ͮͬͮͯ͊ͪ́͢͟ those things.

You decide to fly off as your huge, glow-in-the-dark magic dragon self over to the Merchants Guild, which actually seems to be fine in the distance.
