Chapter 279: Double Battle!! Victory!
While Arbok was finishing its battle, the fight on the other side was blazing hot.
Typhlosion was relentlessly firing Flamethrowers, strafing the sky where Dragonite was flying.
With four stacks of Dragon Dance, Dragonite's speed had become terrifying. It relied on its aerial mobility to weave, twist, and dodge the torrent of fire.
The flames around Typhlosion's neck raged furiously, creating heat waves that distorted the air.
Above, Dragonite wasn't just dodging. It was constantly probing, looking for a way to break through the fire suppression and get close to Typhlosion.
After all, Dragonite was physically stronger. With the Dragon Dance boosts and a type advantage (Water coverage moves), once it got into melee range, it could crush Typhlosion easily.
Clearly, Typhlosion knew this too. Its attacks were less about hitting Dragonite and more about zoning it out, preventing it from approaching.
Just then, Arbok finished its battle with Magnezone.
"Chaa!!!! —"
Arbok roared. The Dragon Might Pattern activated, unleashing a wave of terrifying pressure onto Typhlosion.
Typhlosion's fur stood on end. It felt like it was being targeted by a natural predator, causing its movements to falter for a split second.
"Dragonite!! Extreme Speed!!"
"Rwooaa!!!! —"
Seizing the opening, Dragonite bypassed the incoming fire pillar and shot straight at Typhlosion.
By the time Typhlosion recovered from Arbok's intimidation, Dragonite was already in its face.
Water swirled around Dragonite's tail.
Aqua Tail!!!
WHACK!!!! —
One tail slap smashed straight into Typhlosion's face.
"Typhlo!!!! —"
Typhlosion wailed in pain as its upright body was knocked off its feet, slamming onto the ground.
Seizing the advantage, Dragonite covered itself in a veil of water and crashed down onto the fallen Typhlosion.
Waterfall!!!
THUD!!! —
Hit by two consecutive Water-type moves—boosted by four Dragon Dance stacks—Typhlosion was heavily injured instantly.
Having lost its range advantage, Typhlosion was no match for Dragonite in close combat, especially after taking such heavy hits right off the bat.
With another Aqua Tail from Dragonite, Typhlosion collapsed, fainting on the spot.
"Return, Magnezone."
"Return, Typhlosion."
Both Gym Leaders recalled their fainted Pokémon.
Xu Fei had only one Pokémon left. Ahmet was slightly better off, with two remaining.
On the other side, Arbok had defeated two opponents but still looked full of stamina.
Dragonite, after four Dragon Dances and a little help from Arbok, had defeated the higher-level Typhlosion.
"Go!! Vikavolt!!!"
Xu Fei threw her Poké Ball first.
[Vikavolt]
Gender: Male
Level: 90 (Champion)
Type: Bug / Electric
Ability: Levitate
Potential: A+
Vikavolt. Evolved from Charjabug. With a base stat total of 500, it stands out among Bug-types.
It has a pair of massive mandibles as long as its body. It generates electricity in its abdomen and fires powerful electric beams through its jaws. Even Flying-types steer clear of it. Its natural enemies are Pinsir and Heracross, often fighting over territory.
"Go!!! Darmanitan!!!"
Ahmet threw his Poké Ball too.
A red, ape-like Pokémon resembling a Daruma doll appeared on the field.
"Darum!!!! —"
Darmanitan beat its chest. The fire-shaped eyebrows on its face flared up, raising the temperature.
[Darmanitan]
Gender: Male
Level: 86 (Elite)
Type: Fire
Ability: Sheer Force
Potential: A
Darmanitan has two modes. In Standard Mode, it burns with internal fire reaching thousands of degrees, possessing immense strength capable of flipping dump trucks.
When exhausted or heavily injured, it enters Zen Mode, turning into a statue-like form, changing to Fire/Psychic type, and swapping its massive Attack for massive Special Attack.
Ahmet looked at Xu Fei in surprise. He hadn't expected her to bring out her main Ace (Vikavolt) so soon.
Kenji glanced at the two opponents and sighed helplessly.
He didn't want to use Beedrill, but Xu Fei had sent out a Champion-level Vikavolt (Level 90).
In a 1v1, Kenji might have let Arbok try its luck. But with an Level 86 Darmanitan alongside Vikavolt...
Namgung Xi's Dragonite was barely stronger than Typhlosion. Against Darmanitan, it stood no chance.
Kenji silently took out Arbok's ball.
"Return, Arbok."
Red light recalled the snake.
"Go!! Beedrill!"
...
"I heard from Xie Mu that your ace Beedrill was terrifyingly strong. But hearing is believing. Only by seeing it with my own eyes do I realize just how terrifying it is."
Ahmet marveled.
He had never seen a Beedrill this fast.
His nephew Xie Mu had bragged about Kenji's Beedrill many times, claiming even Ahmet's Ace Magmortar wouldn't stand a chance.
As an uncle and a veteran Gym Leader, Ahmet naturally scoffed at the idea.
Me? Lose to a freshman who's been a trainer for barely a year? Impossible.
But now, all his doubts had turned into shock and disbelief.
