Chapter 37: The Reason
Jun's opponent took a deep breath and said, "Magnemite, use Thundershock!"
"Mag~" A jolt of electricity formed around Magnemite and hurled towards Beldum.
"Zen Headbutt!" Jun said calmly.
"Bel~" The body of Beldum vibrated as it stoically endured the Thundershock attack. Its eyes glinted with determination, and a faint blue light flickered on its forehead. Beldum channeled its willpower to its head, determined to fight back against the electric assault.
*BOOM*
Accompanied by a huge roaring sound, two energy light waves collided violently in mid-air, and the rumbling sound was endless. But in the next second, the yellow electric energy was dispersed abruptly, and Beldum, with its head, rammed Magnemite with all its might, hitting it with incredible speed.
*BOOM*
"MAG!!"
Magnemite was hit by Beldum, and its spirit was severely impacted. Severe pain spread from the inside to the outside of its body. It shook its head desperately, trying to get rid of the pain.
Jun's opponent was anxious, thinking of giving Magnemite a moment to recover. "Magnemite, use Supersonic."
Magnemite generated odd sound waves from its body, intending to confuse Beldum. But seeing that Beldum was still unmoved, Jun's opponent thought that Beldum was hit by confusion.
"Magnemite, now use Tackle!" the hot-blooded young man wanted to use Magnemite's steel body to hit Beldum's steel body. Jun shook his head looking at this.
"Beldum, use Iron Defense."
Beldum's body glowed, and its body hardened sharply, raising its Defense stat. Magnemite, who had already accelerated towards Beldum, hit Beldum's body like a surface made of iron.
*CRASH*
"Mag~!" Instead of Beldum, it was Magnemite who got hurt. Not giving any chances, Jun instructed Beldum to use Iron Head, and Beldum, with its steel-hard head, slammed Magnemite with no mercy.
"Boom boom!!" The magnetic force in Beldum's body was still operating, indicating that Beldum was still not cooling down.
Magnemite, who was hurt by its failed Tackle and was hit again by Iron Head, was finally taken down firmly. Facing Beldum, Magnemite's strength was extremely weak, not a rival at all, and it flew backwards several meters away in an instant, its eyes spinning.
The referee quickly looked down and saw that Magnemite had fallen to the ground with circles in its eyes. He secretly swallowed his saliva and said in a hoarse voice, "Magnemite is incapable of fighting. The winner is Trainer Jun!"
Along with the referee's voice, the announcement rang.
*DING*
'ID 34112, your time is up. Your result is 10 matches, 10 wins, 0 losses.'
Jun nodded, feeling proud of his trusted partner Beldum, which had once again proven its strength and resilience by overcoming the opponent's team for the 10th time in a row. With Beldum by his side, Jun felt unstoppable and confident.
As he looked at the defeated Magnemite lying on the ground, Jun's opponent's face froze in disbelief. He had expected that his Magnemite might not be a match for the Shiny Beldum, but he still wanted to push his limits. However, he never expected to be defeated so easily and without any resistance.
"Beldum, you did it!" Jun exclaimed with a smile, patting his partner on the head. Beldum floated in mid-air, roaring excitedly and growling, its big red eyes full of joy and pride. Even Eevee, who had been watching the battle, jumped happily and tried to catch Beldum, who playfully avoided it.
Although Beldum had suffered some damage from the Thundershock, its tough exterior and strong defenses meant that the damage was negligible.
With the match over, Jun stepped forward to shake hands with his opponent and bid farewell to the Champ Dojo. It had been an intense battle, but Jun and Beldum had emerged victorious yet again.
Now, it was time for Jun to head back to school. As he made his way through the bustling streets of the city, finally he arrived at his school.
---
In the upper floor of Champ Dojo, a middle-aged man with bulging muscles straining against his karate uniform swung his feet at Hitmonlee, who jumped backward and took a stance to counter. But before Hitmonlee could begin, he saw a silhouette enter the room and stood up from his kick stance.
The referee who had overseen Jun's match came to the ring with a woman wearing professional attire.
"What happened?" asked the middle-aged man named Guy, whom Jun had met yesterday.
"There's a very special trainer who recently arrived and won all ten of his matches in just two hours this morning," the woman said.
Guy came to the ring side and took out a handkerchief to wipe off his sweat. "Then?"
"He won with only a single Pokemon, a shiny Beldum," the woman replied.
"Oh? Shiny Beldum, you say? Interesting. What is his identity?" Guy asked.
The secretary then handed him a document which was very thin, surprising Guy. Usually, before finding someone interesting and gathering information about them, the information documents are at least thick, not only one piece of paper. Curious, he opened it.
"So that's him," Guy exclaimed. "This is the little guy who had battles with Roy before."
"Sensei, do you know him?" the referee who followed asked.
Guy only looked at him like an idiot, "Where else could you hear the name Falken in the entire Kanto region?"
The secretary who was the forst to response, "Falken? Dennis Falken?"
Guy shrugged. "Who else could it be but him? After the attack on his daughter ten years ago, Dennis immediately flew into a rage and turned Hoenn upside down. He then used all his resources to search for information about the perpetrator and any clues that could lead him to Kanto. Eventually, he exchanged all his merits to apply to Kanto. If it weren't for the birth of his grandson and granddaughter, I'm afraid he would have wreaked havoc in Kanto by now."
The surrounding fell into silence. They knew the basic story about it: the attack on Mia Falken that killed her father and mother-in-law, and the enraged Dennis Falken.
"Leave him be. The Falkens still keep a low profile, and their purpose in Kanto is only to find whoever was behind the attack. Moreover, Dennis Falken is still a marquis, so he can't easily make a move. They are still not in conflict with us." Guy said.
"What about Dennis's son, Leonard Falken?" the woman asked
"Leonard? Hmm... If I remembered correctly, Leonard, the son of Dennis Falken is focusing on training Electric-type Pokemon. It seems like he is taking a different path from the traditional Falken family. As for Jun... " Guy replied, deep in thought.
Do we need to make friends with him?" the referee chimed in
"There's no need. He is only a little kid right now... there's no need to overemphasize him," Guy replied lazily
