Chapitre 207: 207. Not Now
"Come back, Hitmonlee!" Ash decided to take back the newly evolved Hitmonlee to rest up. It had been seriously injured in the battle just now, so there was no immediate need to force it to battel.
"Why did you take it back? I still want to see how powerful your Hitmonlee is!" Max murmured as if complaining about this, but May just slapped him on the head.
"May, why did you hit me?!" Max covered his head and looked at May angrily, but suddenly noticed Ash's eyes were also looking towards him, and quickly shrank his neck, "Sorry, keep going, keep going! I'm not going to say anything, I promise!"
Ash really waneyed to say that this a is a Pokémon battle, not a show for you. It is the Trainer's responsibility to pay attention to the status of their Pokémon.
Caroline on the side smiled secretly, 'Ash is perfect for my little May!
"Coil and ready to strike, let's go Dratini!"
Seeing Ash sending out a Dratini, Max immediately exclaimed, "May, mom, did you see it? This is the same Dratini that defeated several of the opponents Pokémon in the battles it was part of in the Silver Conference!"
Norman was also shocked when he saw thsi Dratini, but he quickly came to his senses. As a Champion, it is not surprising to have a Dratini of this strength. "Ash, your strength is very surprising. This is the last round. Fight me with all of your strength!"
"Isn't Dad really going too far in this match?" Max looked at the battle and looked at Norman's expression in doubt.
"No way!" Caroline, as a wife, really knows Norman well, "He is like this because he is very happy!"
"Happy?" Max didn't seem to understand the true meaning of being a Trainer, he just thought it was a cool thing to be.
Norman threw his third Poké Ball, "Go ahead, Slaking!"
Sure enough, his third Pokémon was Slaking. Unlike what was stated in the Pokédex, this Slaking was standing facing Ash and Dratini without its usual lazy demeanor.
This shows how the bond between this Slaking and Norman is, which is very high. This Slaking's power is almost at the same as level as Ash's Snorlax.
This is Norman's second strongest Trump Card after his other Slaking!
"Dratini, let's begin with a Blizzard!"
Ash took the lead in launching an attack this round.
The cold wind and snow hit Slaking.
In the blink of an eye, it was covered with a layer of ice crystals.
However, Norman seem to not panic at all.
After Slaking came on the scene, he changed his previous serious face to a more calm one, which was obviously a sign that showed his absolute trust in his Slaking's strength and its confidence to win this battle.
"Ash, this kind of attack can't make my Slaking lose, I have trained it to long resist such attacks, now use all your strength against him. Slaking, use Focus Punch!"
This Focus Punch is one of the strongest move of the Fighting-type, but Ash was not planning on trying to train his Pokémon to master this skill.
Although this skill is very powerful, it requires a certain amount of time to accumulate momentum. If it is attacked during this process, it will be interrupted and all the energy will disperse!
How to use such skills in a quick battle is a very big test for a Trainer!
The momentum of Norman and his Slaking made Ash frown a bit. Dratini's current strength is still too weak to beat such an opponent, but with its Extrreme Speed , it has always had the upper hand in speed.
Slaking is very powerful Politically when it comes to both offense and defense, but its biggest weakness is that it can't attack continuously.
"Dratini, use Dragon Tail!"
Dratini's figure suddenly disappeared at a blinding speed, his Dragon Tail knocked Slaking's Focus Punch away, and then a tail hit it hard on his head!
"SLA!"
At this time, Slaking finally roared, obviously very angry because his attack got destroyed!
"Oh, damn, Dratini seems to have made it very angry!" Caroline knew Norman's Slaking very well, now it was going to use its full strength because it got pissed!
"That's exactly what I want!" Ash smiled slightly, so what if he is serious about it, what if he gets angry, he is still lazy, and will still need to take a break after attacking!
"Thunder Wave!"
Dratini doesn't have many powerful attacks to use that can do damage to Slaking right now, so the best thing is to put it into a condition of Paralysis. The shocking electrical current shoots out from the white horn on its forehead and wraps around Slaking's body!
"Oh no! Slaking is paralyzed!" Max instantly knew the current situation!
Slaking blasted his own chest, and his momentum continued to increase, but suddenly a flash of electricity flashed across the entirety of his body, and he felt a sudden but more numbness in half of his body than his upper body. Paralysis came into effect as he is unable to move from where he was!
"Alright then, another Dragon Tail!" Dratini hit Slaking on the head with another one of his Dragon Tail. Now Norman only has this Pokémon left, Slaking, so it will not be forced back into its Poké Ball by Dragon Tail.
In Slaking's eyes, this Dratini is as slippery as Diddys house! And he knows how that feels like like.
"Slaking, use Earthquake!" Norman knew that he had very few chances left to attack, so the skills Slaking will be using from now on are some of his strongest attacks!
Ash saw that Slaking splashing high, its huge body sinking and falling, and the concussive power continued to spread from its feet to his upper body.
There is no way to dodge such an attack, and Dratini and Ash could only resist it!
By the time the attack was over, Dratini had consumed a lot of energy to stay up. Ash frowned and said, "Dratini, use Blizzard continuously!"
The biting cold wind blew, and the entire battlefield suddenly became a frozen wasteland.
May sat next to her mother and shivered, "It's so cold now..."
Slaking just stretched out his palms to resist, but was quickly frozen. The ice spread from Slaking's palms and quickly sealed them whole.
"Slaking, use a Hyper Beam to heat yourself!" This is a Normal-type ultimate move, but just as Slaking was about to move, electricity flashed across his body, and he felt numbness all over his body. Slaking was immediately unable to move because of the Thunder Wave!
Dratini's Blizzard continued on, and it moves around the Slaking, encasing it in a heavy case of ice, making the ice on its body and out of its body thicker and thicker!
No matter how strong Slakings defense is, such long stretches of being frozen will definitely consume a lot of his energy!
"Slaking, use Slack Off!" Unexpectedly, Norman has another trick up his sleeves, which is the scary part of Slaking. It can relax the muscles of the whole body through Slack Off and slowly restore part of his physical health.
Although the recovery effect is much worse than that Rest can give, it makes the battle at this moment a tug-of-war!
"Dragon Rage!"
This was Ash's final trick. Dratini consumed a lot of energy and if he couldn't defeat Slaking right now, he would challenge again next time with some of his other newer Pokémon's! Ash wasn't really planning on getting the Gym Badge right now, he just wanted to see the fruit of his Pokémon's training.
"Dra!"
Dratini stopped its Blizzard attack and let out a childish dragon roar to the sky. Its belly was glowing, and the large quantity of pure Dragon-type energy was concentrated and spewed out from its mouth like a Flamethrower!
A dense Dragon-type energy blasted towards Slaking, blasting the ice outside into pieces.
"Is it over?" Ash's body flashed with blue light, but he found that Slaking was still barley standing there but ultimately did not fall down!
Such a thick skin and strong defense, Ash finally felt how his opponent felt when facing his own Snorlax.
Dratini was exhausted, so Ash took out his Poké Ball, "Come back, Dratini! Thank you for that."
"Mr. Norman, let's stop here. When I come back here, I will challenge you again with a better understanding!"
