" Let the battle begin"
Cynthia started the battle by testing the strength of her opponent so she said," Dragon Breath"
Any trainer worth his salt knows what Cynthia wished by starting the battle like this and Fortunately Elsa was one such trainer.
She greets her opponent attack with " Ice beam"
The orange and slightly purple blast and the white icy beam collided.
They struggle along with each other for sometime illuminating the battlefield until the dragon breath overpowers the ice beam attack.
When the dragon breath pushed back the attack enough,
After pushing the ice beam for a few inches, Elsa knew she has lost it in terms of power.
So she has to choose the next best move which can gain her the momentum she has lost.
" Ninetails start the hailstorm." And the hail started fall sound them using the her innate ability, Snow Warning.
The pelting of hail made Gabite suffer a little and this gave Ninetails the opportunity to push back the attack and hit him.
Cynthia didn't seem much worried for before the attack hit her Gabite she has already issued her next command.
The hail lowers the Temperature even more and everyone who was prepared for a warm day shivered in cold.
The two battling trainers were too focused on the battlefield
Even the audience was affected. Alex sent out the two fire type he has on him, Charmeleon and Magmar out to warm themselves up.
Charmeleon seem to act proud and didn't seem to pay anyone any attention except for the battle in front of him until a voice rang in his head, ' Charmeleon you brute look what you did?'
Mew in Eevee form seem to think Charmeleon was ignoring her and started to weep, Espeon didn't like the fact that her friend cried because of that brutish teammate of hers and glares blades at him.
' But what did I do wrong?' Charmeleon asked though it isn't as heated and prideful as his normal tone.
He knows an angry Espeon is not something he wishes to face. He is someone who has seen what she can do in her anger and that is something which still gives him nightmares.
' Use your nose for something useful once. She is Mew.' She told him in her mind.
When he knows what the identity of the Eevee by their side was, he is frozen solid.
To think it was Mew. She is someone who has the support of almost everyone. Even the reclusive Slowking who doesn't involve himself in the little conflicts between Pokemon even looks up to her.
If she reveals what he did and how she acted to because of him, he will suffer greatly and before that he will suffer under Mew.
He said to Mew, " I am sorry I didn't notice it. It isn't my fault."
Mew didn't seem to like what he said, " So whose fault is it?" She glared surely while a menacing one came from Espeon.
Fortunately, charmeleon has learned how to deal with Mew from Alex and used that trick at this moment.
The trick was to praise Mew and her strength which caused them to offend her unknowingly.
" You are so strong that I cannot even feel your presence in front of me. How can someone as weak as I can recognize someone like you who can hide her presence if she wished.
You are too strong that you even hid from my sense of smell. So how can I know it was you. You are so amazing.' he even added a look of absolute awe though it wasn't faked for he did have awe for Mew's powers.
Mew looks at him or at his face and felt his expression wasn't faked so she magnanimously forgave him.
Espeon knows about this trick that Alex usually employs to trick Mew so she doesn't think much about it.
Back to the battle,
Gabite seem to have hidden himself underground.
Just a moment later Gabite rises from just below Ninetails with a dragon claw in his hand, ready to hit her target.
But Ninetails is quick and dodges the upcoming attack.
" Ninetails use ice beam while moving."
Since Ninetails lost the power contest between the two, she has been doing hit and run tactics.
Cynthia knows Gabite cannot win the Ninetails in terms of speed and the hail seem to injure Gabite as time goes on. She hasn't even trained her Gabite thinking that it won't be much help in her power battles but it seems she was wrong.
These moves which can change the climate and conditions of the battle are necessary especially if you face situations like this.
Gabite has been sending flame thrower at her for but her agile opponent dodge then easily.
She knows the longer the battle is dragged on more the situation would be dangerous for Gabite.
So she made a new plan.
In the audience,
When they saw that none of Gabite attack hitting the target while she is being pelted by hail and ice type moves, they thought she is in trouble.
" It seems Cynthia is in problem and cannot last long. It will be her highness victory. " Julius said excited and happy at Elsa almost winning this match.
" Seems to be the case " Aurea said.
But Lucian didn't seem to think like that. He said, " Don't just dismiss Cynthia like that. She is much stronger than she is. Hell, she hasn't even gone all out."
" What do you mean? She is clearly at a disadvantage?" Skyla said confused why he still think she has a chance.
" As I said she hasn't gone all out. And not only me but Elsa and Alex over here thinks that she is still in the match." Lucian revealed to them while pointing at Elsa's serious expression and Alex's interested look.
" Is it true, Alex? Can Cynthia still get back in the fight? Can Elsa still win?" Bill asked his trainer friend.
Alex kept looking at the battle and without turning to them he said, "If her Gabite knew sandstorm, she would have already won the battle, but now unless she goes all out or at least make Ninetails slow down, her fight will be a bit tough.
As for Elsa's victory, that is a big no. Her Ice moves aren't strong enough. If they were there should be a bit of frost on Gabite body, yet there are none.
The current hail only annoy her and disrupt the attacks weakening their strength. Ninetails stamina is also low, for she cannot last long and then a hit may wound her and a second may defeat her.
The only way she can win now is if her Ninetails know sheer cold move and can freeze Gabite into a popsicle or there is no hope for her." After his analysis Lucian gave him an incredibulous look while others have grace expression.
Although they don't wish to believe in Alex's words, they know he is saying the truth. None of them are as skilled as Alex in battle so his ideas are Paramount.
Alex noticed Cynthia playing a new trick. His mind clicked and he understood what she was doing.
He mutters, " It seems Cynthia is now willing to change the situation completely."
In the battlefield,
As soon as Alex gave his analysis, Cynthia said, " Rock throw, Gabite."
Multiple large side rocks are smashed towards Ninetails who dodges these stones with her speed pretty easily, but it isn't only that.
" Earthquake as soon as she put her foot on the ground after dodging." Cynthia said softly but Gabite heard her clearing.
Elsa knows Cynthia is up to something for even though the Rick throw isn't working she hasn't given up on that attack yet.
And her thinking was true, fir as soon as ninetails foot fall on the ground, a devasting Earthquake shook ninetails and she fell on the ground groaning in pain.
Before she even had the chance, rocks fell on her trapping her below them. But she still isn't down.
Elsa has ordered," Use iron tail to protect yourself before the rocks could crush her."
Her Iron tail attack stopped the rocks from completely crushing her.
But Cynthia isn't done yet. She orders, " Dragon rush. "
A Dragonic powered super body slam clashed onto the rocks which turned to powder on impact.
Ninetails was crushed under the pressure from the attack impact and when the iron tail and dragon rush collides, the end result was ninetails is down on the crater.
The hailstorm also ended after that. It means ninetails is out for the count and Cynthia has won the battle.
