Chapter 149: 149. First Round

I'm still not breaking my steak, not here or in Duolingo.

————————————————————

"Now lets began, the Official Gym Battle between Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town and Gym Leader Clair of the Blackthorn City Gum will be held here. A total of three Pokémon can be used in the match by each side! When all the Pokémon used lose their combat effectiveness from a single Trainer, the match will be over and the opponent will be declared as the winner!"

After resting for a night at the Blackthorn City Gym, Ash finally ushered in his last Gym Challenge in the Johto Region!

This last Gym that he has to face is a Gym where they use the powerful Dragon-type, which is perfect for him!

The battle arena at the Blackthorn City Gym is very interesting. It is in the shape of a zigzag, with a large pool in the middle. Apparently Clair's Pokémon also included many Water-type Pokémon, meaning that she is essentially a Water and Dragon-type Pokémon Traiber, and that is one if the types that Ash is most familiar with!

"Ash, go all out or else you will lose!" According to the Gym Challenge rules, the Gym Leader is the first one to send out their Pokémon, "Kingdra, go for it!"

This Kingdra is much stronger than the one Ash encountered in the Whirl Cup. Just the way it floats upright in the water is completely different, with a kind of arrogance unique to a Pokémon that has the Dragon-typing to it.

"Alright, blast them away, Blastoise!"

Ash was not polite and directly sent out the his Poké Ball. The sturdy Blastoise did not jump into the water. It has more possibilities as it is amphibious on land than on water compared to the fast and much more experienced Kingdra.

"Hey, when did Ash exchange his Blastoise from the lab?" Brock was surprised when seeing Blastoise again after some time.

"Just last night when he was talking with Grampa and then some other gir—Aunt Dalia!" Molly almost said something that she was not supposed to say.

"Oh!" Brock came back to his senses and tried to ask her about something but was instantly refused.

"Kingdra, be careful, that Blastoise is not normal at all!" Feeling the momentum that was leaking from Ash's Blastoise, Clair was also surprised by it, and then her fighting spirit burned again. This time she could fight happily!

'That is the same feeling I felt when I was fighting Lance's Gyarados! How strong is that thing?' Clair's mind was full of thoughts about her current opponent.

The battle between these two Triners was no longer just about the Gym Battle at all, it was about Clair comparing her skills against someone that even Lance said that he is not sure whether or not he could beat him!

"Kingdra's types make up for each other's weaknesses. The only true weaknesses of Kingdra are the Dragon and Fairy-types, and maybe Freeze Dry." Ash murmured softly, and his eyes suddenly lit up!

"Blastoise, let's begin our show with a Dragon Pulse!"

"Blastoise!"

Blastoise roared loudly, and the two metal cannons on his shoulder suddenly condensed with surging Dragon-type energy. This was a move he wad excited to try out!

It was a perfect opening attack. After firing, the two dragon cannons closed together and turned into a bigger and longer purple dragon, hitting Kingdra fiercely before he could even react to Clair's order!

Boom!

Kingdra was hit directly and was already injured as soon as the battle started!

"How is that possible?!" Clair was really shocked by this. She didn't expect that Ash would be able to reach his Blastoise his to learn a move like Dragon Pulse!

She doesn't know about Mega Evolution yet, let alone be able to understand Ash's Bond Evolution power!

Just then, Ash and Blastoise completed their Bind Evolution!

Blastoise began to glow with a royal blue aura surrounding his entire body. The two cannons on the back has now become a single giant metal cannon. There are also one smaller cannon on both of his arms. And in the middle back of his shell, there looked to be a strange wing design on it.

Clair was stunned to see what was going on that she couldn't even worry about her own Kingdra.

Name: Ash-Blastoise

Attribute: Water

Ability: Rain Dish (When it rains, the damage will be slowly recover.)

Mega Launcher (The power of Pulse and Aura moves will increase when this is there.)

Skills: Flash Cannon, Rapid Spin, Water Pulse, Hydro Pump, Skull Bash, Rain Dance, Dragon Pulse, Hydro Cannon, Aura Sphere…

After completing thier Bond Evolutions, Blastoise gained the Ability unique to Mega Blastoise, Mega Launcher.

The power of Pulse and Aura moves will increase significantly when using them, so Ash has his Blastoise learn Dragon Pulse to deal with pesky Dragon-types, and this really caught Claire off guard today!

Even though Blastoise does not have the Dragon-type, his Dragon-type moves are still very effective against even Kingdra!

"Ash, you are really powerful!" Clair assessed Kingdra's current situation, "Kingdra, use your strongest Twister!"

The Twister in the water set off a water hurricane, and the huge whirlpool came towards Blastoise with an astonishing momentum. This is an attack that combined with both the Water and Dragon-tile, and it can be regarded as a specialty skill of Clair's Kingdra!

However, neither Ash nor his Blastoise seemed fazed by it, Blastoise even took out his signature black glasses from somewhere and put it on to look even more coller, "Destroy it, Flash Cannon!"

Because of the two metal cannons on his arms and one large one on his back, Blastoise can learn many cannon-related skills.

Flash Cannon and Hydro Cannon are just two of them.

Flash Cannon is a powerful Steel-type move, while Hydro Cannon is an exclusive move that belongs to the Water-type Starters. It is a real special move. It took Ash a lot of effort to teach his Blastoise how to use it.

Even now, his Feraligatr has not been able to use it proficiently.

Of course, how to use such a move also depends on the Trainer's strategy and their command.

Blastoise roared and blasted out a cannon, and the Steel-type's blow a huge chunk of the whirlpool away!

"Kingdra, use Hydro Pump!"

Taking advantage of the moment when Blastoise had just launched his attack, Clair launched a counterattack just in time. Hydro Pump directly hit Blastoise, but that really did not do any damage to the absolute tank that was Blastoise.

"Skull Bash!"

Ash completely ignored Hydro Pump's minimal damage. With an order, Blastoise used his strong hind legs to support his body upright. With astonishing momentum, he pushed himself towards Kingdra at a speed not visible to the naked eye.

"Get out of the way!"

From now on, the two Pokémon were standing still and firing their skills. Now that Blastoise has moved, Kingdra must also move or else he will lose.

Kingdra moved very fast in the water, seemingly teleporting. He moved to the side and avoided Blastoise's Skull Bash just by a little!

Blastoise fell into the water and was right in front of Kingdra like a fish in water!

"Kingdra, get out of the way from the cannon!" Seeing this, Clair quickly screamed, but it was already too late!

Ahs clenched his fist and said, "Nice one, Dragon Pulse!"

This move was launched very quickly. As soon as Ash finished speaking, the powerful Twin Cannon had already hit Kingdra head-on with the two Dragon Pulse's!

"Kingdra! Are you okay?!"

After the smoke cleared up, it should be said that it was indeed worthy of being a Dragon-type Pokémon. Kingdra resisted this attack and was able to fight without losing his ability to fight!

Kingdra used his Agility at the last second to dodge from most of the damage but still got hit hard.

"Very well, Kingdra, use Agility to distance yourself again!"

Clair's Kingdra is obviously not good at melee combat. All of its offensive moves are either ranged attacks or auxiliary skills, so staying so close to Blastoise is obviously very disadvantageous for him!

"Don't even think about running away, give it the last one!" Ash clenched his fist tightly, confident of winning, "Waterfall!"

The giant turtle transformed into a waterfall, and then bit Kingdra's body with astonishing speed!

"Kingdra loses the ability to fight, Blastoise wins this round!"

Mr. Kaburagi, who served as the referee, announced Blastoise's victory. He turned to look at Clair, "Miss, Ash's Blastoise is really powerful. You must be more careful or things will only get worse from here on!"

Clair nodded, "Ash, you are really powerful, but at the risk of my dignity as a Dragon Pokémon Trainer, I will fight you with all my strength!"

"Come back, Kingdra! Uou did well." She took back the Kingdra, then threw another Poké Ball, "Go, Gyarados!"

"GAY!"

Looking at the roaring Gyarados, Ash also took his Blastoise back to rest.

"Bite them hard, Feraligatr!"


Chapter 150: 150. Winner

Ash decided to send out his Feraligatr to deal with Clair's Gyarados.

Speaking of which, Feraligatr and Gyarados are really a good team to him. When he was in Whirl Islands, Feraligatr completed his evolution in a confrontation with a Gyarados.

"It's Feraligatr!" Misty happily exclaimed. This is Ash's second Water-type Pokémon he used so far.

Does Ash really plan to use his own Water-type team to fight against Clair's mostly Dragon-type team?

Clair's strength did receive Ash's attention.

"Here we go, Gyarados against Feraligatr, the battle begins!" Mr. Kaburagi announced the start of the second round of the Gym Battle, and Ash took the lead in giving the order again just like last time.

"Feraligatr, Hydro Pump!" Ash directed his Feraligatr to welcome them with a powerful Water-type attack first.

Not to be outdone again, Clair also ordered her Gyarados to fight back using a Hydro Pump to send it back. After the two Hydro Pumps collided above the ground, all the water splashed all over the battlefield, and the battle truly began!

Gyarados roared first, and his long tail poked out of the water, entangled with water, and swung it towards Feraligatr.

Even if they are all Gyarados, different Trainer will have different fighting methods for their Pokémon's. This is why Pokémon Battles attract such a large amount of audience even though most don't even have their own Pokémon's, it's because they can see something they have never thought of.

Clair is an expert on Dragon-type Pokémon. The Gyarados she trained has a fighting style that is much closer to that of a Dragon-type than most in the world!

"I see! Superpower!"

Feraligatr's muscles are swelling crazily, and the violent power is awakening in its body. It has no fear when facing the Aqua Tail belonging to Gyarados!

The astonishing momentum on the huge Aqua Tail stopped suddenly, and Feraligatr stopped the tail forcefully with his hands. Then with a even stronger force, Gyarados was pulled up from the water with its tail!

After his Pokémon have evolved and become much large, Ash's fighting style has become much wilder when commanding, thus increasing their overall range. Of course, Ash won't use this kind of tactics for all his Pokémon's, just the ones that he feels will benefit from it.

"Gyarados, don't lose it, use Twister!"

Sure enough, this one too can use this Dragon-type move. Twister instantly swept Feraligatr, forcing it to let go of Gyarados' tail.

Feraligatr's huge body was brought to a height of more than one meter, and the violent Twister brought tearing power through the whole thing, constantly causing its body to be harmed.

However, Ash did panick at all, "Crunch!"

What the hell kind of tactic is this?

After hearing this order, Misty, Brock and Clair behind him were all confused. In this kind of Twister, even Feraligatr could not move at all. "How can he use a move like Crunch right now?"

However, Feraligatr, who was trapped in the Twister, suddenly opened his eyes, and the Dark energy poured into his glistening white teeth!

As a crocodile, what he can most rely on in any condition is his terrifying bite force, which is arguably its most powerful weapon!

Neither Superpower nor Hydro Pump is as reliable as a move like Crunch is to him.

"Fer!"

The Dark-type energy formed huge energy fangs, which even extended out of Twister. It bit down and tore down the Twister into multiple pieces!

"How is this possible?" Clair couldn't believe what she was seeing at all!

And she clearly noticed that when Feraligatr escaped from her Twister just now, strange streams of water appeared throughout his whole body.

Ash smiled softly, "Let's decide the winner! Have an Ice Fang!"

Once again Ash ordered his Feraligatr to use a biting type attack!

Feraligatr jumped into the water and approached Gyarados at a fast speed. The clear big icy fangs bit Gyarados's scales hard!

"GAY!"

Gyarados couldn't help shouting in pain, Clair frowned, "Gyarados, use one last Outrage!"

As expected, it was another Dragon-type skill, and it was also one of the strongest attacks that can be unleashed with the destructive power of the Dragon-types. Gyarados's eyes were dyed bright red from the ongoing Outrage and severe pain that he felt throughout his whole body.

Then he continued to swing his tail back and forth to finally shake off Feraligatr's fangs from its body, throwing it to the ground, and then a quick Hyper Beam was already aimed at him!

"ASH!" Misty and Brock exclaimed, but Ash did not seem to be impressed by the attack by much at all.

"Hydro Cannon!"

This is the final evolutionary type exclusive move of the Water-type Starter. It can be taught and learned as a very special move! Like the past Hyper Beam, it will be unable to move for some time after this is used.

However, the advantage is that as a Water-type Pokémon itself, Feraligatr using Hydro Cannon has the added Same Type Attack Bonus to its power!

The Hydro Cannon, which was much more violent than the previous Hydro Pumps they used, instantly shattering Gyarados' Hyper Beam and hit Gyarados hard on his head!

"Gyarados loses the ability to fight any longer, Feraligatr wins this round!" In this battle, even Kaburagi himself with all his experience was speechless and shocked to his core. He didn't look at Clair at all until he instinctively announced Ash's victory this round.

"Miss, Ash's strength has surpassed our imagination by far! The bond between him and his Pokémon is so deep that I can't even see it, this allows him to achieve any fighting method with his partners that go beyond our imagination!"

Yes, Kaburagi could see that if there wasn't for the unbelievable strong bond between Ash and his Pokémon, it would be absolutely impossible for him to achieve such a battle tactic. He trusts his Pokémon very much, and his Pokémon respond to his trust with their all. It's almost like he saw and felt what his Pokémon's were seeing and feeling.

Clair nodded to him, "Ash, your bond with Pokémon almost makes me jealous. I think you have already guessed the last Pokémon that I will be using in our battle!"

That's right, Clair's last Pokémon is her Dragonair, which just completed its Evolution last night!

Ash took back the somewhat exhausted Feraligatr and replaced it with another of his Poké Balls!

Both Brock's and Misty's eyes lit up, it was obvious to them on what Ash was going to use as his next Pokémon!

This was Ash's Heal Ball!

"Stand by for battle, Slifer the Sky Dragon!"

Red as blood, Gyarados crashed directly onto the opponent's battlefield from mid-air, and its huge tail fell into the pool, causing waves more than three meters high to form!

"Is this the same Gyarados that caused trouble near Mahogany Town?" Seeing this terrifying figure, Clair's eyes narrowed, "What a powerful force, how can he be so strong!"

"Dragonair, be careful!" Clair knew very well that she had already lost half of the battle before the battle truly even began, but she subconsciously reminded her Dragonair to be careful! A thing that all Trainers should have trained for.

Fortunately, Dragonair's momentum did not drop by much because of the sudden appearance of Ash's Red Gyarados. The blue crystal beads around his neck flashed, and the sky above the battlefield was suddenly covered with thunderclouds!

Dragonair's ability to control the weather is truly amazing and now it was showing what he could do with it!

"Thunder!"

Clair was the first to attack this time around. In such rainy weather, the hit rate of this Electric attack was increased to the absolute maximum, and Electric-types were supper effective against Gyarados!

The thunderous light falling from the sky swallowed up Gyarados, and the huge damage caused it to roar repeatedly.

However, in that thunder light, no one noticed that Gyarados' body was also releasing golden light from within!

The Bond Evolution Gyarados has dual types of Water and Dragon, completely negating its Super Effective weakness to the Electric-type.

"GYA!"

The roar changed from pain to rage, and Gyarados was wrapped with thunder and lightning and suddenly rushed to Dragonair's side. His ferocious appearance seemed to swallow up the much smaller dragon like a shadow, and he bit Dragonair hard with his powerful and cold teeth's!

Dragonair was frozen almost instantly because of the Ice Fang, and the damage caused by such a skill was very terrifying to the newly evolved and inexperienced Dragonair!

"Nooo, Dragonair!"

Clair exclaimed loudly, but could only watch helplessly as her Dragonair was instantly knocked out by Ash's Gyarados, who looked like a true demon in front of her!

"Dragonair has lost the ability to fight any longer, meaning that Gyarados has won this battle, so the winner is Challenger Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town!"
