Chapitre 217: chapter 6 gym battle part 3
In the audience,
Swablu flew in the air and had used "cotton guard" protected the audience from being drenched in water. The cotton on her clouds expanded around the audience.
The cotton on coming in contact with water expanded.
After the waves calmed down, Swablu retracted back the cotton too.
She then gracefully landed on the seat looking forward at the going battle completely ignoring the gaze of everyone.
Pikachu thanked his friend for the help who just chirped back at her old friend.
" Pokemon pokemon" Misty shouted looking at the Swablu with excitement.
Not only her but even her sisters, Jim and his grandfather and uncle too looked at the small cotton bird Pokemon with shock and admiration.
Daphne too had admiration in.her gaze and said to Swablu," Thank you Swablu for the help or we would have been completely soaked in water."
Her thanks was the queue which helped others gain their voice and voiced their own thanks.
The second youngest daughter of the Waterflower, Lily asked her mother,
" Mom, what pokemon is she? She is so cute. And how was someone so small can be strong enough to stop so much water. "
" She is a Swablu, dear. She is a very strong Pokemon. Don't underestimate her. She had dragon genes in her. " Daphne explained to her daughter. Swablu heard this news and sat proudly. Daphne looked at her face and she rubbed her and Pikachu's head.
" Dragon? Wait she is a dragon type pokemon?" Gray asked her shocked. Not only him but even his father, James was shocked as everyone their age knew just how powerful the image of the dragon type were in most people's view.
" No, not her. But her evolved form is. Her kind is most commonly found in Hoenn. Swablu are sweet and cute. They are just like most pre evolved forms of dragon types. Their evolved looks more of a dragon, a majestic beauty worthy of respect.
It's evolved form is an altaria. They are just as majestic and powerful as any dragon Pokemon. " She said.
Misty on her hands too joined in rubbing the heads of the two Pokemons.
Jim, who was pretty ignorant about Pokemons asked," are dragon types strong?"
This gave Daisy who didn't like him much a chance to downgrade him and said," You don't even know about dragon Pokemon. What do you expect from a stupid fool?"
" Why you?" Jim stood up and shouted at her, but his father stopped him and said," Calm down Jim. If you shout now, Alex would be distracted in his fight."
Daphne stopped her daughter too and apologized for her behaviour.
Gary then explained it to his son,"The dragon pokemons are one of the strongest pokemons in the wirld and their only weakness are the ice Pokemons. Most attacks aren't effective on them and their strong power makes them a terror to fight against. It is not wrong to say they are the strongest Pokemon type out there. " Gary have his son the civilians view about the dragon types.
But, it only confused jim. Seeing his expression, Daphne asked," is there something wrong Jim?"
Jim looked at his father then turned to his grandpa and finally Daphne and said," But Alex said something else to me while he was teaching about Pokemons, how to raise them and train them."
Daphne eyes sparkled wishing to know the views of Alex, the best trainer of his generation had about dragons.
James was curious what his eldest grandson, Alex had taught his second eldest grandson, Jim asked, "then What did he teach you about dragons Jim?"
At this time, poliwhirl was knocked out from Marill's double edge and new Pokemons Cloyster and tentacruel were released.
" Wow, dad's using Cloyster. I remember he once frozen the water in the gym battlefield to ice completely.
After all how could dad lose to an idiot's cousin who doesn't know anything about dragons." Daisy sneered at her similar aged Jim.
Jim was angered by her words but ignored it in favour of answering his grandpa's question. He narrated what Alex told him," Alex told me that although dragons have the least deficiency in case of type disadvantage, then any other Pokemon type but their biggest shortcoming is that they take a lot of time to evolve.
Their pre evolved forms are much weaker than their final evolved forms and until that moment they don't have much threats against their opponents.
And even after evolution to their final form, only idiot Trainers would consider this type invincible for every decent trainer can have at least a few pokemons capable of dealing with them." Jim told everything Alex told him.
Daisy was shocked by the words meanwhile Lily and Violet were confused by the different description of dragon type pokemons. His answer made James and Gray open and close their mouth unable to come up with any reply but Daphne on the other hand laughed loudly attracting attention of the duo trainers who had just swapped their pokemons along with the referee.
" Are you joking about our battle, dear?" Mathew asked his wife confused at her sudden outburst.
She shook her head and simply said,. " Nothing. I just heard Jim say something very similar to what you told me about dragons. He said only idiots consider dragons invincible."And once again started giggling.
Mathew himself smiled at this statement and asked his opponent, Alex," Is that what you feel?"
Alex replied without any change in his facial expression or mood," Of course. All pokemon types are strong and equally strong. Only dragon types are a bit hard skinned so they are difficult to injure that's all."
Mathew kept looking at Alex. The referee as well as the audience themselves looked at Alex slightly shocked by his reply and remained quiet until Mathew smiled and said," I knew that you will make this battle interesting and your thoughts make me even more excited."
And Mathew initiated the attack. "Cloyster, icy shards."
And Alex immediately countered," poison sting"
Icy shards collided with poison stings. Cloyster was stronger so every three poison sting hit a shard and destroyed it.
Some almost reached tentacruel but Alex commanded," acid spray"
A torrent of acid was sprayed from his mouth and collided with the shards and destroyed them. And this pray continued until it hit cloyster but he had closed the clamp before the impact.
Cloyster hard shell would have worked at most people but not on tentacruel.
Alex trained him to be a poison specialist. After his evolution, his appetite consist of poison of some fangs of arbok or crushed poisoned glands of Weezing, swalot or Muk.
Now his poison could dull the shine of a metal and cloyster shell wasn't as hard or durable than steel and he started to rock back and forth in pain from poison.
Tentacruel slowly floated towards the cloyster while his attack intensity didn't decrease.
He opened his clamp and cried in pain from the attack. This gave Tentacruel the chance he needed.
Tentacruel used " poison jab" with his tentacles and hit the black body of cloyster. Cloyster glowed in purple signifying that he was poisoned.
Mathew wasn't disturbed by this status and commanded," Rest"
Cloyster calmed himself from the pain of poison and slept on command.
His energy was directed at draining the poison which entered his body and expel it from the body.
But Alex wasn't willing to let him expel the poison and ordered," Smash him"
Tentacruel multiple tentacles rose and grabbed the shell. He tried to grab the shell hard enough to wake the sleeping Pokemon.
Seeing it wasn't working, tentacruel smashed him on the platform hard breaking that platform and the shelled Pokemon submerged in the water.
Since he was submerged mist ranged attacks won't work so Alex ordered the special attack of tentacruel," drain him under water and continue to crash him on the floor of the gym."
Tentacruel submerged and grabbed hold of the ice Pokemon and used his tentacles to drain his energy and heal himself from the occasional icy shards which hit him.
Mathew was unaware of what tentacruel was doing underwater but his instincts told that things might be a bit wrong so he commanded," sleep talk"
A spray of ice hit the tentacles making tentacruel groan in pain and release the hold bit Alex wasn't willing to let things go and ordered him to continue regardless of the situation.
Tentacruel did as ordered until cloyster woke up and this time he was hit by toxic. Before tentacruel could use venoshock to take down the tired shelled Pokemon cloyster spun rapidly and rose to the surface.
Mathew saw his pokemons situation and ordered," Giga impact"
A purple energy shrouded cloyster and charged at tentacruel.
Alex knew tentacruel cannot dodge it so he told him to erect a barrier.
Tentacruel used protect to let the impact and then shrouded himself with magic coat and barrier around him to lessen the impact.
When the collision happened once again water was splashed everywhere and this time, cloyster was knocked out with tentacruel still capable of fighting except for some damaged tentacles.
