Seeing his room to maneuver shrink, Pyro laughed loudly, "Haha, now your speed advantage is useless, isn't it!? Flareon, one more time, use Flamethrower!"
Flareon opened its mouth and once again unleashed a Flamethrower.
Faced with the raging flames, Jolteon was forced to retreat a few steps, but now, surrounded by fire from both front and back, there was truly nowhere to run.
Seeing this, Natsui shouted, "Jolteon, get to the other side of the pond!"
Hearing Natsui's command, Jolteon leaped into the middle of the pool and then quickly paddled with its four limbs to swim to the opposite bank.
Now, although it was soaked to the bone, it had finally escaped the sea of fire.
It looked back at Flareon. The two battling Pokémon were now in separate areas, and because they were standing on rocks, there was no fear of the fire spreading over to them.
As for Flareon, due to the distance, if it wanted to attack Jolteon again, it would also have to reach the other side.
And to make matters worse, it was standing on a patch of grass. If it didn't move soon, as the fire grew, it would eventually be caught in its own flames!
"Tch..." Pyro sighed helplessly.
As a Fire-type Pokémon, although Flareon wasn't afraid of water like Charmander, it still had a certain fear of it and was unwilling to enter the water easily.
If it were to cross the pool, it would definitely get its fur wet. If it was then attacked by Jolteon with an Electric-type move while crossing, it would undoubtedly take even more damage.
Seeing the hesitation on Pyro's face, Natsui directly used a taunt, "What? Scared to come over?"
"What's there to be scared of!" Pyro's personality, naturally, wouldn't tolerate such a taunt.
And compared to sitting and waiting for defeat, he preferred to take the initiative.
Pyro was about to speak, but after a quick thought, he decided to be cunning.
"Flareon, just charge through the fire!"
Hearing such a command, Natsui was somewhat impressed by Pyro's decisiveness.
Due to its typing, fire would only deal half damage to Flareon. So instead of choosing the pond, running through the flames was indeed the best choice.
Flareon endured the burning flames and finally made it through the raging fire, but waiting for it was a fully prepared Jolteon!
"Jolteon, use Discharge!"
A fierce bolt of electricity struck Flareon, but Jolteon's attack wasn't over. As it quickly closed in, it opened its wide mouth and, using Thunder Fang, bit down on Flareon in retaliation!
"Eevee!"
Flareon grimaced in pain. It wanted to turn and bite back at Jolteon, but due to its position, it couldn't reach it.
The situation now was a complete reversal of what it had been just moments ago!
Pyro shouted anxiously, "Flareon, don't give up! Fight back!"
Stung by the pain, Flareon opened its mouth and used Fire Spin, spewing it onto the ground and trapping both itself and Jolteon inside.
This mutually destructive tactic made Natsui frown slightly, knowing that this battle couldn't be dragged out any longer.
The continuous flames would inflict burn damage on the Pokémon inside, so the longer it went on, the more disadvantageous it would be for Jolteon.
"Jolteon, use Double Kick!"
Jolteon released its bite, then turned its body, raised its hind legs, and kicked at Flareon.
Its two hind legs became a blur, striking Flareon almost simultaneously. Its left hoof had just kicked Flareon's head when its right hoof followed up, kicking it in the chest!
With its weak points attacked in succession, Flareon's vision went black, and it fell straight to the ground.
Seeing it motionless, Sparky shouted, "Flareon is unable to battle. The winner of this match is Jolteon!"
Clap, clap, clap...
Enthusiastic applause sounded in his ears. Being able to defeat both Vaporeon and Flareon in succession earned Natsui more respect and recognition for his strength from the crowd.
However, although the battle was over, Jolteon was also covered in wounds and looked like it was about to collapse.
Natsui quickly sent out his Wartortle, having it use Water Gun to extinguish the flames on Jolteon's body, then took out a Burn Heal and sprayed it on Flareon.
Nearby, other Trainers also used their Water-type Pokémon to put out the large fire on the field.
And when everything was settled, Sparky, Rainer, and Pyro, each holding a box, walked up to Natsui.
When they opened the boxes, they were filled with all sorts of Evolution Stones!
Sparky said, "As a reward for defeating us, please pick a few stones you like and take them with you."
"Huh? Wasn't this just a friendly match?" Natsui was stunned. "There are prizes too?"
"Of course," Rainer said nonchalantly. "Anyone who beats us gets to take home our local specialty. It's been a rule here for a long time."
"Alright then."
Since the hosts had said so, it would seem too ungracious of Natsui to refuse again.
He looked down at the stones.
Fire Stone, Water Stone, Thunder Stone, Leaf Stone...
From the symbols and shapes on these Evolution Stones, it wasn't hard to distinguish their types.
However, Natsui didn't really have a need for Evolution Stones. Although they sounded impressive, not every Pokémon needed an Evolution Stone to evolve.
At least among Natsui's Pokémon, only Jolteon had ever used a Thunder Stone.
But since he had the opportunity, he might as well pick one. After all, who could say what the future holds.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up a Leaf Stone from among them. Leaf Stone.
"A Leaf Stone?" Sparky raised an eyebrow. "An unusual choice. But is one enough? Since you beat both Rainer and Pyro, you can take one more. Don't worry, we have plenty of these stones!"
To be honest, Natsui really had nothing else to choose among the Evolution Stones. As he was pondering, he inadvertently saw a plain, ordinary gray stone in the corner.
"What's this?"
"This?" Sparky glanced down. "Oh, that's an Everstone. It's useless, just there to fill up space."
So this is an Everstone? Everstone.
Compared to the common Evolution Stones, this was the first time Natsui had ever seen an Everstone.
"This is quite rare. In that case, I'll take an Everstone as well."
"Eh?" Sparky was puzzled. "What do you want an Everstone for? If you use that stone on a Pokémon, it'll never be able to evolve!"
"Isn't that even better?" Natsui laughed. "If anyone gets on my nerves in the future, I'll just throw the Everstone on their Pokémon, so it can never evolve for its entire life!"
"..."
The three brothers glanced at each other and then burst out laughing.
"Great idea! Alright then, this Everstone is all yours!"
