"Hmph! You only won one round, what are you so proud of!" With that, Daisy, somewhat unwilling, recalled Horsea and jumped back onto the shore.
"Sister Violet, Sister Lily, I'm sorry, this kid is more difficult than I imagined!"
Back on shore, she looked at her two sisters with an apologetic expression. She hadn't managed to set the tone for the first battle and had been defeated by the opponent's Magikarp. She felt quite uncomfortable.
"It's alright, don't blame yourself. The opponent is very strong, we were already mentally prepared. Moreover, a Trainer who can use Magikarp to such an extent, we are simply not on the same level as him. Just do your best!"
Violet gently comforted her sister. From just one battle, she had already seen Ash's strength.
Even if she didn't train Pokémon much, she still had an eye for it. Even with a Water-type Pokémon, facing a Magikarp that couldn't even use Water-type moves, he managed to utilize it so well. If he hadn't used Flail to attack, he could have easily defeated her third sister without taking any damage.
The previous Trainers from Pallet Town were also terrifyingly strong, but Ash seemed even stronger.
"In that case, let me handle the second round!" Lily volunteered. Their third sister had been defeated, so it was naturally time for the second sister to step up. The final battle, of course, would be left for the strongest eldest sister.
Lily jumped onto the floating platform, facing Ash. "Although you defeated my third sister, I won't lose to you easily."
"Come on!" Looking at the situation from the audience, Misty felt a little strange. It almost felt like Ash was the Gym Leader.
"This kid is really arrogant. I'll show you! Go, Seaking!"
Lily threw out her Poké Ball. Her second Pokémon was Seaking, the evolution of Goldeen. It resembled a goldfish overall, with a distinctive sharp, giant horn on its head.
"Magikarp, return!" Ash recalled Magikarp. Although it hadn't used much stamina, Ash still decided to recall it first.
"Good work!" Ash said, looking at the Poké Ball in his hand.
Seeing this scene, the Cerulean Sisters were slightly taken aback, or rather, a little ashamed.
After any battle, they only ever thought about how upset and embarrassed they felt. Not to mention losing, they had never even offered a word of encouragement, even when they won.
But from Ash, they felt the warmth of care for Pokémon, which made them feel ashamed.
"Next, it's up to you. Go, Axew!"
Bang!
The Poké Ball was thrown, and with a bang and a flash of light, a figure appeared on the floating platform in the pool. As the light faded, Axew's figure appeared before everyone.
"It's Axew! Looks like the second round has a lot of hope too." Misty in the audience completely "betrayed" her sisters, excitedly getting up and cheering. Seeing Ash send out Axew, she thought, This is a sure win.
"Hmm! Axew's strength is indeed very strong, but after all, it was just caught, and its bond with Ash isn't very high yet. Plus, in this kind of terrain, it's more advantageous for Seaking, so he still needs to be careful." Brock was still more composed, carefully analyzing the situation.
Dragon-type Pokémon naturally possessed superior abilities compared to other types, this was beyond doubt. But since it was just caught, and the terrain was also disadvantageous, he was somewhat worried.
"Huh? It's a Pokémon I haven't seen before!" The Cerulean Sisters were all unfamiliar with the Pokémon before them. They had never left Cerulean City.
Not to mention Pokémon from the Unova region, they didn't even recognize all the Pokémon from the Kanto region, let alone other regions.
"But no matter what Pokémon you send out, I won't lose. No matter what, we must preserve the dignity of us, the Cerulean Sisters. Seaking, use Horn Attack!"
Seaking's expression changed upon hearing this, and it moved swiftly in the water, its speed astonishing. The sharp horn on its head radiated a captivating glow, and it charged directly towards Axew.
Axew was on the floating platform, so it naturally wouldn't be hit by Seaking's charge. However, hitting the floating platform would be enough. This kind of terrain was disadvantageous for non-Water-type Pokémon.
Without a solid footing, the battle would become a Water-type Pokémon's domain. Most other types of Pokémon, except Ground and Rock types, could actually swim.
Even Rock and Ground types, if properly trained, could overcome their weakness to water. Not to say they could resist Water-type moves, but at least they wouldn't be unable to battle just by being in water or getting rained on.
"Axew, dodge!" Ash commanded Axew.
Bang!
No sooner had the words fallen than Seaking crashed into the platform. The immense force of its sharp horn shattered the floating platform. Fortunately, Axew reacted quickly, swiftly dodging Seaking's charge.
Axew landed smoothly on an adjacent floating platform. Seaking immediately submerged into the water, moving underwater, continuing to charge towards Axew's new platform.
Bang!
Attacking directly from underwater, this wave of assault shattered the floating platform beneath Axew's feet. The platform splintered, and Seaking surged out. Axew, sensing something was wrong, had already dodged again, leaping into the air, flying backward, and landing on another floating platform.
"I'd like to see how long you can dodge! Once all your footholds are destroyed, how will you hide then! Seaking, launch Horn Attack from underwater." Lily, agitated by her continuous failed attacks, once again signaled Seaking to attack from below.
"Hmph! That's what I've been waiting for."
When Ash heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. Lily, seeing Ash's smile, instantly had a bad feeling, but she couldn't pinpoint why.
"Axew, jump and use Dragon Rage!"
With Ash's command, the moment Seaking charged beneath the floating platform, Axew, following Ash's order, leaped into the air. Its abdomen instantly glowed with a blue light. Axew opened its mouth, and a low growl resonated from its throat.
A blue energy sphere continuously condensed in its throat, and a strong fluctuation emanated from the surrounding air.
Roar!
Boom!!!!
"Oh no!"
Lily saw the unfavorable situation. The power of Dragon Rage directly descended vertically from the air. The moment Seaking crashed into the floating platform, the power of Dragon Rage had already struck the floating platform first.
Bang-splash-splash-splash!!!
