Faced with the intimidating Gyarados, Blaine was naturally not one to be outdone.
"Rapidash, use Stomp!"
Gyarados's tail was enveloped in water as it viciously whipped towards Rapidash. At the same time, Rapidash reared up, its front hooves raised high, preparing to stomp down on Gyarados.
However, when the two Pokémon met, before Rapidash's hooves could even land, its body was struck by an immense force. Like a rubber ball, with a loud 'thud,' it was brutally sent flying over ten meters away!
Water is super effective against Fire!
As Rapidash shook its head and struggled to its feet, Blaine shouted, "Rapidash, use Flame Charge!"
The flames on Rapidash's body instantly surged, and it was soon completely engulfed in fire, looking like a giant fireball! It then galloped forward, charging towards Gyarados again at an extremely high speed!
Flame Charge is a contact move. Knowing that physical contact was inevitable, Natsui decided to wait for the attack and commanded, "Again! Aqua Tail!!"
The two Pokémon collided. The reaction of water and fire created a burst of hot steam, but Aqua Tail's power was ultimately stronger, injuring Rapidash and knocking it back a few steps.
Blaine frowned slightly. After two attacks, his own Pokémon was the one seriously injured. He had realized how difficult Gyarados was to deal with.
However, he had no real countermeasure for this.
It couldn't be helped. His Rapidash's main attack methods were primarily close-range combat. Against a Water-type Pokémon with immense power, it could be said that it had completely met its natural enemy!
Seeing Blaine's silence, Natsui, unaware of his complex feelings at the moment, saw that his attack was effective and continued to press his advantage.
"Gyarados, don't give it a chance to breathe!"
Faced with the ferocious Gyarados, Blaine quickly said, "Rapidash, use Flame Wheel!"
A dozen small fireballs appeared around Rapidash, circling it.
However, just as it was about to charge at Gyarados again, it suddenly saw Gyarados's gaping, bloody maw. Affected by Intimidate, Rapidash was scared. It hesitated, its body subconsciously twitching restlessly a few times.
A good chance!
Natsui's eyes lit up, and he immediately seized this fleeting opportunity!
"Gyarados! Let's go on a rampage!!"
With Natsui's command, Gyarados let out a roar to the sky, its eyes turning blood-red as its reason completely faded, leaving only a savage desire to destroy everything in its sight!
In the next second, its head, body, and tail all became weapons. Without any technique, relying solely on its brute force, it unleashed all its power on Rapidash and the surrounding field!
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!!!
Ten times, twenty times, thirty times...
Under Gyarados's continuous attacks, not only did the suspended platform shake violently, but even the iron chains holding it rattled, seeming as if they could snap at any moment!
A large amount of debris and dust floated up, obscuring the situation on the field. When Gyarados finally calmed down and the dust settled, everyone saw that Rapidash was lying in a large crater, its body covered in injuries, having long since lost consciousness...
"Alright!!"
Before Natsui could even speak, Misty, at the side, had already jumped up happily. And from the looks of it, she seemed even happier than if she had won the match herself!
At the side, Brock and Ash also applauded and cheered.
"Return, Rapidash."
Blaine shook his head lightly and recalled his Pokémon.
Having won the first round, Natsui couldn't help but relax his tense nerves.
It couldn't be helped; Blaine had defeated Ash so easily just now, which had indeed made him take Blaine's strength more seriously.
But now, with Gyarados defeating Rapidash, the pressure on him suddenly lessened, and his mood eased a bit.
"Well done. Compared to that little brat just now, you are indeed much tougher to deal with." Blaine looked at Natsui and sent out his second Pokémon. "Come on out, Ninetales!"
The radiant Ninetales entered the field once again.
Pokédex: "BEEP. Ninetales, the Fox Pokémon. A Fire type. The evolved form of Vulpix. It is very intelligent but also vindictive. According to legend, it was born from the fusion of nine saints with divine powers. It has golden fur and nine long tails, and can live for 1,000 years."
Only a thousand years?
Compared to my Wartortle's lifespan, you've still got a long way to go!
Although it had just been through a battle, Natsui did not choose to switch out his Pokémon.
"Gyarados, keep up the good work!"
"ROAR!~~"
As the battle began, Blaine used the same trick again, once more using the move that had defeated Squirtle.
"Ninetales, use Fire Spin!"
"So it's this move again!" Natsui naturally did not dare to be careless. "Gyarados, use Whirlpool!"
Vortexes of fire and water, two moves of different types but similar effects, were unleashed and collided. But this time, it was water that won, not only extinguishing the flames but also hitting Ninetales.
"Ninetales!" Seeing the soaked Ninetales, Blaine quickly said, "Use Confuse Ray!"
A multicolored beam of light shot from Ninetales's mouth.
"Gyarados, dodge it quickly!"
Although Natsui gave the command in time, with Gyarados's speed, it was still hit squarely by the Confuse Ray.
When the light faded, Gyarados stood in place, already in a state of confusion.
"Very good!" Blaine said. "Ninetales, use Quick Attack!"
Ninetales moved at an extremely high speed and slammed hard into Gyarados. Although it caused damage, it also simultaneously snapped Gyarados out of its confusion!
"Gyarados, use Aqua Tail!"
Seeing Gyarados curl its tail and whip it towards itself, Ninetales quickly leaped away, barely avoiding the water-wreathed tail.
On the other side, seeing his attack was effective, Blaine continued with the same method.
"Let's do it again, Confuse Ray!"
Again!?
Natsui's brows furrowed tightly as he quickly thought of a countermeasure.
And just as his gaze swept over the thick iron chains holding up the platform, his eyes suddenly lit up!
"Gyarados! Break the chain next to you!!"
Although Gyarados was confused, it still obediently used Aqua Tail to snap the iron chain in one go.
And as the chain broke with a 'clang,' the platform suddenly tilted at a sharp angle towards Gyarados. At the same time, Ninetales's Confuse Ray flew past, almost grazing Gyarados's hard horns!
"What!?"
Blaine was shocked. But before he could react, Ninetales was already sliding down the slope towards Gyarados!
"Now's your chance!" Natsui shouted. "Bite it!"
Although Gyarados was also sliding backward, with its immense power, it leaped forward, opened its great mouth, and bit down hard on Ninetales's body!
Its teeth sank deep into Ninetales's skin. Ninetales let out a miserable cry and struggled desperately, but it was still unable to escape Gyarados's fang-filled, bloody maw!
