On a battlefield near the coast, Natsui and the young man stood in their respective Trainer boxes.
Surrounding them, a dozen members of the bicycle gang, dressed in outlandish outfits, stood scattered around with mocking expressions.
"Go, Masa! Show him what you're made of!"
"Give him a good beating!"
Whistles, shouts, and cheers mixed together. Though there were only a dozen of them, they managed to create an incredible racket.
Masa smiled confidently, took a Poké Ball from his pocket, and sent out his Pokémon.
"Go, Golem!"
A Pokémon with a tortoise-like head and grayish-brown claws, its body seemingly covered in rock, appeared on the field.
Pokédex: "Beep. Golem, the Megaton Pokémon. A Rock and Ground type. The final evolved form of Geodude. Its body is composed of something as hard as rock. It can withstand a dynamite blast without taking any damage, and with each shedding of its skin, its body grows larger."
Natsui grabbed a Poké Ball from his waist and sent out his Pokémon as well.
"I won't bully you by using a Pokémon with a type advantage, so I just picked one at random. Go! Kirlia!"
When Kirlia appeared, the sheltered bikers, who had never seen much of the outside world, stared with wide eyes at such a rare Pokémon.
From within the crowd, a girl with teal hair, a bare midriff, and a leather miniskirt even let out a gasp of awe.
"Wow, is that a Kirlia? What a beautiful Pokémon!"
Staring at Natsui, Masa shouted, "Stop bluffing! Don't think you can beat me just by using a Pokémon we've never seen before! Golem, use Rollout!"
Golem tucked in its limbs, curling into a perfect sphere, and rolled rapidly toward Kirlia.
On the other side, Natsui had barely formed a thought when Kirlia raised its hands, enveloping Golem with Psychic energy and lifting it high into the air.
"Tch!" Masa gritted his teeth. "So it's a Psychic type..."
As Kirlia swung its arm down, Golem slammed heavily onto the ground. However, being a Ground and Rock-type Pokémon with a thick, rocky hide, it didn't take much damage.
Seeing that he couldn't get close, Masa had to shout, "Golem, Rock Throw!"
Boulders materialized in the sky and then whistled down toward Kirlia. However, Kirlia simply used Teleport once to completely evade the attack.
Just as Golem was about to attack again, it was once more enveloped by Psychic, lifted into the air, and slammed down hard.
Boom!
A deep crater appeared in the ground. As Golem struggled to climb out, Kirlia had already teleported behind it. At the same time, glowing green leaves of Magical Leaf formed around Kirlia and swept toward Golem!
"Golem, use Harden, quick!"
Amidst Masa's panicked shouts, Magical Leaf struck Golem dead on.
Grass beats Ground!
Grass beats Rock!
It's super effective!
Golem fainted...
"What..."
The surroundings instantly fell silent. The bikers never dreamed that this man, without saying a single word, could have his Pokémon finish the battle so easily.
"Masa..."
After a brief silence, they opened their mouths as if to console him, but they didn't know what to say.
Just then, the green-haired girl who had gasped earlier stepped forward.
"That was impressive!" she said, looking at Natsui seriously. "But beating him is nothing to be proud of. If you want our respect, you'll have to defeat me too!"
"Oh, oh, oh!" A cheer erupted from the crowd. "That's our boss, Misa! So reliable!"
"Boss Misa, you have to get revenge for Masa! Teach this guy a lesson!"
After Masa recalled his Golem, Misa walked closer, and he whispered a warning, "Sis... this guy is actually pretty tough. You'd better be careful."
Masa, Misa... He hadn't noticed when he watched the anime, but now he realized they were brother and sister.
Up close, this cool, delinquent-style girl was actually very pretty.
Misa nodded and faced Natsui.
"Want to raise the stakes? If I win, how about you give me that Kirlia?"
"That's absolutely impossible," Natsui refused directly. "I never wager my own Pokémon."
"Fine, then." Muttering what a shame it was, Misa didn't press the issue and sent out her Pokémon. "Go, Cloyster!"
A Pokémon with a spiked, bivalve shell protecting a round head with a wicked smile appeared before Natsui.
Pokédex: "Beep. Cloyster, the Bivalve Pokémon. A Water and Ice type. The evolved form of Shellder. Its hard shell can withstand most damage. It protects itself with its shell while firing spikes to repel enemies, and once it clamps its shell shut, no amount of force can pry it open."
Facing Cloyster, since he didn't have a type disadvantage, Natsui had no intention of switching his Pokémon.
"Go, Kirlia, use Psychic!"
Kirlia made the first move, attacking Cloyster with Psychic. However, the moment the energy enveloped it, Cloyster clamped its shell completely shut.
Unlike Golem, which balanced offense and defense, Cloyster was focused purely on defense. It would wait patiently until its opponent let their guard down, and only then would it deliver a fatal blow!
Misa smiled. "Come on, let's see how you break through my defense!"
Kirlia swung its arms, smashing the shelled Pokémon into the ground. With a loud 'bang,' although the noise was tremendous, Cloyster's shell remained perfectly intact.
Moreover, because it was a double shell, slamming it on the ground even reduced the concussive damage inside!
Natsui's brow furrowed slightly. "Use Magical Leaf!"
Magical Leaf once again formed around Kirlia, swirling toward Cloyster. However, the attack had little effect on its hard shell.
"Now!" As the Magical Leaf subsided, Misa's eyes lit up at the break in Kirlia's attack. She shouted, "Cloyster, use Aurora Beam!"
Cloyster's shell flew open, and a freezing beam of icy energy shot out toward Kirlia.
But Kirlia was already prepared for its attack. Seeing it, Kirlia simply used Teleport to dodge to another spot.
With its attack having failed, Cloyster clamped shut once more.
"This is tough..."
The battle had reached a stalemate. Natsui frowned, thinking of a strategy.
From the sidelines, the bikers didn't forget to jeer loudly.
"What's the matter? Can't do anything against Boss Misa's Cloyster, can you?"
