32.35% Pokemon: The Gameboy Effect / Chapter 55: Unbeatable

Kapitel 55: Unbeatable

The battlefield trembled as Pidgeotto collapsed onto the ground, its feathers ruffled and its body battered. Its eyes swirled in defeat, and the air was thick with the tension of the moment. The crowd, previously buzzing with excitement, fell into a stunned silence. Grace's commanding position had been stolen away in the blink of an eye, and now the tide had shifted entirely in John's favor.

"Pidgeotto is unable to continue. Makuhita wins!" the referee announced, his voice ringing across the stadium.

The audience erupted in murmurs.

"Grace should've stayed away. Getting close to Makuhita was a terrible mistake," one spectator said, shaking their head.

"You think long-range moves would've helped? Makuhita has Vacuum Wave. That thing cuts through distance like butter," another countered.

"So what now? Makuhita dominates up close and counters from afar. Does that mean it's unbeatable?"

"Maybe it's not just any Makuhita," someone mused. "That thing's Shiny. We all know Shiny Pokemon are leagues above the rest."

Grace exhaled slowly, trying to block out the chatter. She recalled her fallen Pidgeotto into its Pokeball with a soft click and stared at the field where John's Makuhita stood triumphant. It was battered and breathing heavily, but its aura of strength was undeniable.

Her strategy wasn't wrong. No, it couldn't have been. She'd planned for this. But John's Makuhita was a force unlike any she'd encountered before. It wasn't just strong—it was relentless.

"This isn't over," she murmured, her grip tightening on the Pokeball in her hand. "Pidgeotto's Aerial Ace landed a solid hit. My next Pokemon will finish this."

But just as she began to strategize, something unexpected happened.

A blinding light engulfed Makuhita, and its compact body began to shift and grow. The crowd gasped as the glow intensified, obscuring the Pokemon in a cocoon of brilliance. Grace's heart sank as she realized what was happening.

Makuhita was evolving.

When the light faded, a towering Hariyama now stood in Makuhita's place. Its black, fan-like palms radiated raw power, and its stance was unshakable. The once-small fighter had transformed into a hulking colossus.

"Hariyama!!!" it bellowed, its roar reverberating through the stadium like a shockwave.

John crossed his arms, a small smirk tugging at his lips. "You didn't think I'd let you win that easily, did you?"

Grace clenched her fists. This was bad. Makuhita was already a formidable opponent, but now that it had evolved, it was on an entirely different level. Her only hope was her next Pokemon.

"Let's see how you handle this," she said, her voice steady despite the nerves gnawing at her. She tossed her second Pokeball high into the air.

With a burst of light, her Croconaw emerged, landing on the field with a confident growl.

"Croconaw!" it cried, baring its fangs. Despite the size difference, it stood tall, ready to face the giant before it.

The crowd roared in approval, thrilled by the prospect of another clash.

"Use Water Gun!" Grace commanded.

Croconaw responded instantly, unleashing a high-pressure jet of water that streaked toward Hariyama. The attack was precise, striking the massive Pokemon square in the chest.

John remained unfazed. "Vacuum Wave."

Hariyama raised one massive palm, its black hand glowing as it conjured a swirling ball of compressed air. With a flick of its wrist, it launched the attack. The Vacuum Wave collided with Croconaw's Water Gun midair, creating a shockwave that rippled through the stadium.

For a moment, the two moves seemed evenly matched. But then the Vacuum Wave tore through the water jet, its raw power overwhelming the Croconaw's attack. The shockwave slammed into the smaller Pokemon, sending it hurtling backward.

Croconaw crashed into the arena wall with a deafening thud. Dust and debris scattered everywhere as it slumped to the ground. The crowd collectively held their breath.

"Get up, Croconaw!" Grace urged, her voice carrying a mix of determination and desperation.

The Pokemon groaned, but it planted its claws firmly on the ground and rose to its feet, battered but unbroken. Its spirit earned a ripple of cheers from the audience.

John raised an eyebrow. "Stubborn, huh? Hariyama, Vacuum Wave—again."

Hariyama didn't hesitate. Another swirling orb of air formed in its hand, and it hurled the attack with precision.

This time, the impact was too much. The wave struck Croconaw directly, slamming it back into the wall. When the dust cleared, the Pokemon lay still, its eyes swirling in defeat.

"Croconaw is unable to continue. Hariyama wins! With no Pokemon remaining, the victory goes to John!" the referee declared.

The audience exploded into cheers and applause, their excitement for John's skill reaching new heights.

As the stadium buzzed with chatter, Grace silently recalled Croconaw into its Pokeball. Her face was shadowed by frustration, but she refused to let it show for long. This loss stung, but it wasn't the end of her journey.

Meanwhile, John stood on the opposite side of the field, scratching the back of his head. He couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt seeing Grace's dark expression.

"Maybe I went a little overboard," he muttered.

As he turned to leave the arena, his Pokegear buzzed in his pocket. Pulling it out, he glanced at the screen.

A single message from Grace: "You're buying dinner tonight!"

John blinked, then chuckled softly. He typed back a quick reply: "Fine, but you're paying for dessert."

The competition wasn't over yet, and both trainers knew it. But for now, there was still time to enjoy the moments between battles—and maybe, just maybe, some dinner.


Kapitel 56: The Fateful Showdown

John had defeated Grace in a spectacular fashion, propelling him closer to the final.

When the news spread across the campus network, it caused quite a stir. However, some initial doubts lingered.

Black Humor: "I'm not surprised John beat Grace, but using only one Pokemon? That's outrageous."

Slim Shady: "Just got back from the plane. That's insane."

Certified Lover Boy: "I saw Grace's battle on Trial Island, and her strength was impressive. I'm starting to think John's fans might just be hyping him up."

But soon enough, the full video of the battle between John and Grace was uploaded, and all doubts vanished. What followed were only awe-struck comments.

Unparalleled Troll: "Boss John, please let me bow before you."

Black Humor: "My bad. I shouldn't have doubted John."

Grandps: "From now on, it's Boss John!"

Sam: "As a student from the battle department, I'm ashamed. I couldn't even beat him."

John, however, didn't pay attention to the campus chatter. He was more focused on watching shows, leveling up in games, and getting some well-deserved rest.

After reaching the semifinals, John began to notice something strange. Everywhere he went, whether through the breeding department or the battle department, students now called him "Boss John" with an odd reverence.

John wasn't used to it. For the first time, he felt a bit uneasy. Several big, burly guys from the battle department had even greeted him with a respectful "Boss John." If he hadn't known better, he might've thought they wanted him to join their "crew."

The whirlwind of attention only grew.

In the semifinals the next day, John was declared the winner by default.

His opponent, after watching the battle video from the previous day, had decided not to even try. Believing they stood no chance against John's Hariyama, they chose to forfeit to avoid unnecessary injury to their Pokemon.

This situation left John feeling a bit helpless. He had planned on using a different Pokemon for the match, but now, it seemed, Hariyama's dominance had silenced any challengers.

The other semifinal, however, would decide who John would face in the final. His opponent was none other than his classmate, Ricardo.

Ricardo had been a standout all through the competition, using only a single Pokemon: a Riolu that many admired.

It was said that Ricardo possessed the rare and coveted power of Aura, a gift that allowed him to manipulate energy like few could. In a world where Psychic abilities and Aura powers were rare, he seemed like a prodigy.

With his combination of Aura energy, a powerful Riolu, and his good looks, Ricardo was regarded by many as the true star. Some even joked that, in comparison to John, Ricardo seemed more like the "main character" of the story.

As the final approached, the tension built. Ricardo and John had a history, albeit a subtle one. It all started before the competition when they had competed for the position of class monitor. John had been called to Professor Scarlett's office and invited to join her research team, which left Ricardo to take the role.

But was that really a win for Ricardo? John's invitation to join Scarlett's team was an opportunity many would envy. So, it seemed neither of them had truly "lost."

Now, with the stakes higher than ever, the two would face off again—this time, with the added prize of a Pseudo-legendary Pokemon.

The final battle had arrived.

To accommodate the large number of spectators, the match was moved from the battle area to the prestigious Central Battle Hall at Riverstone University.

The hall was packed, with over a thousand seats filled by students and faculty alike. Even a few professors had come to watch.

"Professor Scarlett, what brings you here?" the dean of the freshman department asked as he saw her enter the hall.

"I finished my work early, and when I saw there was a match going on, I thought I'd drop by," Scarlett explained casually. "Besides, I heard one of the competitors was John, and I thought it'd be interesting to see how he does."

Scarlett knew John's talent well. He was someone who could easily handle Pokemon like Nosepass, and as a student of the breeding department, he had already shown his strength by outperforming the battle students in the competition.

The atmosphere in the hall was electric as the match began.

On the battlefield, John and Ricardo stood on opposite sides, having exchanged not a single word. The tension was palpable as they waited for the match to start.

The referee called out the rules.

"This is the final of the Riverstone University Freshman Military Competition. Trainer John will face off against Trainer Ricardo. Each side has two Pokemon, and once both Pokemon from one side lose their ability to battle, the match is over. Trainers, please release your Pokemon."

At the referee's signal, both John and Ricardo simultaneously released their first Pokemon.

The bright flash of silver marked the appearance of Ricardo's Riolu, a sleek, upright dog-like Pokemon that looked cool and collected. Its arms were folded, its expression one of quiet confidence, a perfect fit for Ricardo's image.

The crowd immediately erupted into cheers.

"Riolu, let's go!"

"I wish I had a Riolu."

"Why can't this Riolu be mine?!"

Riolu had become somewhat of a celebrity, especially in the media and fan circles, thanks to its starring role in several major Pokemon storylines.

As for John, his choice of Pokemon was less flashy. He released Combusken, a fiery chicken Pokemon that, while strong, didn't garner the same immediate fanfare as Riolu.

But John knew that every battle was a chance to prove just how far his skill could take him—no matter what Pokemon he had on his side.
