章 52: Aiding Each Other
Banette Shadow Sneak manifested as a ghostly claw, fierce and unrelenting, reaching straight towards Absol.
Absol swiftly evaded Shadow Sneak with Quick Attack move, but the Ghost Claw continued to pursue relentlessly.
"Chimecho, Gravity."
Seeing that Absol was being held back by Banette, Yuga worried that Camerupt might seize the opportunity to strike and commanded Chimecho, who was not skilled in combat, to disrupt Banette.
Chimecho quietly approached Banette and suddenly, without it realizing what was happening, Banette fell from the air with a "thud." The Ghost Claw pursuing Absol dissipated as well.
Unaware of the situation, Banette tried to rise from the ground, but despite its efforts, it struggled to move an inch.
The Trainer of Banette saw Chimecho involvement and immediately appealed for help from Camerupt Trainer. However, Camerupt was currently being restrained by Absol, who had broken free from the Ghost Claw, and couldn't spare a hand to rescue Banette.
"Not bad, kid. You're quite capable, trying to take on the three of us alone."
Observing how Yuga Absol and Chimecho were holding their own against his two subordinates, the leader tone carried a malevolent edge.
"Skorupi, Toxic."
Skorupi speed was exceptional; even though Floette was airborne, it couldn't dodge the Toxic attack. The purple venom splashed directly onto Floette body.
The Poison type countered the Fairy type, causing Floette body to develop purple blisters, putting it in a poisoned state.
"Chimecho, Heal Bell."
As Yuga voice trailed off, a clear and pleasant sound of bells spread from Chimecho, releasing Floette from its poisoned state.
However, the price of using Heal Bell was that Banette, previously restrained by Gravity, regained its freedom and launched an attack on Chimecho.
Currently, Chimecho couldn't maintain Gravity while using Heal Bell.
Seeing Chimecho about to be hit by Banette Shadow Sneak, Absol, who now held the advantage in battle, broke free from its opponent, launching a Sucker Punch and pinning Banette to the ground, rendering it unable to fight.
Witnessing his Banette lose its fighting ability, Suo grew angry, releasing his Beautifly and Kecleon. He then launched an attack on Absol.
Absol, who had previously been in a dominant position, suddenly found itself surrounded and at a disadvantage due to the combined assault of the three Pokémon.
"Chimecho, Gravity."
The three Pokémon assaulting Absol were all enveloped by Chimecho Gravity, including Absol itself, located at the center of the battle.
However, thanks to Chimecho Gravity ability, Absol emerged from the crisis. Accustomed to Chimecho Gravity, it found the situation much easier to handle than the other Pokémon.
Just as Yuga sighed in relief, cries of agony came from the other side—Floette was in trouble.
Yuga turned around to see Floette lying on the ground, incapacitated.
Floette strength was no match for Skorupi on the opposite side, and considering Yuga had to command three Pokémon alone, he was overwhelmed, unable to effectively manage the situation. Floette quick defeat was understandable.
"Skorupi, Pin Missile."
The leader, now free to act, immediately commanded Skorupi to attack Chimecho, which was holding back the other three Pokémon.
"Chimecho, quickly dodge!"
Yuga sensed the danger and shouted to Chimecho.
Chimecho, hearing Yuga voice, instinctively moved aside, narrowly avoiding Skorupi Pin Missile. However, in doing so, its Gravity ability was lifted.
Free once more, Camerupt, Kecleon, and Beautifly all launched attacks on Absol.
With three opponents attacking, Absol was overwhelmed and knocked to the ground.
"Chimecho, Heal Pulse."
Having recovered from the shock, Chimecho, upon hearing Yuga command, flew to Absol head. Once the pink beam of light touched Absol, its wounds visibly vanished, and it stood up from the ground, revitalized.
"Absol, Psycho Cut."
Now reinvigorated, Absol emitted ethereal Psycho Cuts, slashing at the three Pokémon attacking it.
Kecleon was instantly hit, while the other two narrowly evaded the attack.
However, the weakened power of Absol Psycho Cut due to it having used the move three times meant that Kecleon wasn't rendered incapacitated.
Chimecho was restrained by Skorupi, unable to assist Absol any further. Absol found itself once again under the assault of three Pokémon simultaneously.
"Camerupt, Flame Burst."
Caught off guard, Absol was hit by Camerupt Flame Burst, falling to the ground. Its once pristine fur was now smeared with dirt, and some areas were charred from the flames.
"Beautifly, Silver Gale."
Just as Beautifly was about to attack the fallen Absol again, green beams of light struck it, causing it to tumble to the ground.
"Cinccino, Seed Bomb. Baltoy, Hidden Power."
Not only was Beautifly knocked down, but Skorupi, who had been pursuing Chimecho, also had its attack disrupted.
Hearing the voice, Yuga turned to see Robert standing not far away with Cinccino and Baltoy.
Seeing an additional person in the battle, the leader face turned dark, revealing a touch of trepidation. "Who are you? This has nothing to do with you. I hope you won't meddle."
"What if I want to meddle?"
Robert expression remained calm.
"In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless. Skorupi, Cross Poison."
It was the first time Skorupi had used this move. Its pincers emitted purple venom, and it charged rapidly towards Robert.
Unperturbed by Skorupi attack, Robert calmly said, "Baltoy, Rock Lock. Cinccino, Rock Blast."
Skorupi, charging forward at full speed, was suddenly encircled by a large ring of rocks. Simultaneously, from the direction of Baltoy, large stones were shot out, rendering Skorupi incapable of battling.
Yuga was amazed by Cinccino consecutive attack ability, as Baltoy Rock Blast displayed impressive power.
Seeing his Skorupi so easily defeated, the leader was dumbfounded. Even the Trainer of Camerupt and Absol, who were attacking Absol, were taken aback.
"Retreat!"
The leader recalled his incapacitated Skorupi and cast a glance at Robert before ordering the other two to retreat. In an instant, the three vanished into the woods.
Yuga hadn't expected Robert strength to exceed his imagination. He managed to drive away the opponents who had caused him so much trouble in just a few moves.
"Thank you. If not for you, I wouldn't know how to handle this situation today."
Yuga expressed his gratitude to Robert.
Robert smiled and said, "It's nothing. Just lending a hand. After all, we're friends, aren't we?"
As it turned out, Robert was also here to train his Pokémon. Seeing Yuga under attack was merely coincidental.
Robert didn't inquire about the attackers or the reason for the attack on Yuga; he was very understanding.
Due to his Pokémon injuries, Yuga didn't engage in much conversation with Robert and quickly headed to the Pokémon Center with his team.
