Flap, flap——
With the sound of wings flapping, two Golbats flew out from the tree hole.
Their eyes red, it seemed that Natsuhiko and Lance's arrival disturbed their rest.
As their huge mouths opened, invisible sound waves and patterns emanated, causing an intense headache for Natsuhiko and Lance with the high-frequency noise.
"Weedle!"
"Dratini!"
The two shouted almost simultaneously, and both Pokémon understood exactly what to do at this moment.
"Woo!"
Weedle spat out a web, accompanied by crackling electricity, covering the two Golbats.
"Moo oo!"
A yellow halo shone above Dratini's head, soon followed by a ball of yellow thread-like static flying toward the Golbat as well.
Curiously, Weedle's web and Dratini's electromagnetic wave fused together during their approach, the Electric-type techniques merging in mid-air.
The lightning on the web became brighter, the thread-like current extended and covered the web, doubling its range.
This scene was unexpected by both Natsuhiko and Lance.
The two exchanged a glance, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes, quickly followed by a knowing smile.
An unexpected delight.
The Golbats, seeing the approaching Electric-type techniques, immediately halted their sound waves, flapping to dodge to the sides.
However, they didn't anticipate the fusion of two unrelated techniques, expanding the electric web's coverage far beyond their predicted dodge range.
Sizzle sizzle...
The electrically charged web adhered to their bodies and wings directly.
"Ah ka!!" Both Golbats suffered from the electric current and sticky web, struggling to stabilize in mid-air.
Yellow currents shimmered on their wings.
Paralysis effect!
"Lance, you attack, I'll support."
Natsuhiko quickly gave orders, distributing roles as their actions were hindered.
Golbat is a Poison and Flying-type Pokémon, and Weedle's Poison and Insect-type techniques faced attribute disadvantages, making a direct attack unwise.
If it were just Natsuhiko, he would have no choice but to take risky offensive actions.
But it wasn't just him. Lance and his Dratini were there as well.
This time, clearly handing over the main attack to Dratini was the best choice.
"Got it!"
Lance immediately assessed the situation, but before he could speak, Natsuhiko had already made the call.
"Ah ka!"
One of the Golbats reacted first, enduring the electric shock, flapping its wings swiftly towards Weedle.
A black mist emerged around its big open mouth, spreading over its two sharp fangs.
Dark-type technique, Bite!
They weren't foolish; clearly, Weedle seemed weaker, making it reasonable to deal with it first before targeting the other.
Faced with the approaching Golbat, Weedle was calm, its small purple eyes filled with confidence.
"Run and spin silk."
With Natsuhiko's command, Weedle's seven pairs of feet moved quickly, simultaneously spinning silk targeting Golbat's wings.
The combination of silk and Weedle's consistent running training successfully avoided Golbat's attack.
At the same time, the silk in Weedle's mouth remained unbroken, with its feet firmly gripping the ground. The strong, elastic silk tightened instantly, sticking to Golbat's wings, preparing to forcibly change its direction, akin to flying a kite.
Golbat sneered inside, thinking a Weedle could restrain it with force?
A flap or two of its wings was enough to demonstrate Golbat's strength.
Yet reality quickly hit it; the tense silk pulled, causing it to deviate from its intended flight path!
Weedle, in terms of strength, suppressed Golbat!
A circular arc, centered around Weedle, formed.
On the other side, seeing Weedle's actions, Lance instantly grasped Natsuhiko's idea and immediately said to Dratini: "Dragon's Fury!"
Dratini's small head lifted sharply, mouth opening to form a light blue energy ball, launching a blue-black dragon-shaped shockwave toward the opponent.
A signature Dragon-type technique, Dragon's Fury!
The blue-black shockwave engulfed the colliding Golbat, the raging flames consuming it, cutting through the entangling silk.
Golbat drew an arc, landing on the ground not far away, losing its ability to battle.
But the next moment, a gust of wind howled in, as the other red-eyed Golbat reacted. Seeing its companion struck down, it charged at Dratini with a furious Wing Attack.
The Golbat's wings glowed with starry white light.
And now Dratini, having just unleashed Dragon's Fury, was caught in transition, making it difficult to dodge in time.
At this moment.
A web, shimmering with yellow electricity, appeared from the side, accurately predicting Golbat's flight path, intercepting it on its way to Dratini.
It's Weedle!
Since its role was support, it had to fulfill all the duties of support, and protecting the damage dealer was naturally the greatest responsibility.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh——
Alongside contributing the electric web, Weedle also fired three Poison Needles, piercing Golbat's wings directly.
"Ah ka!!"
The intrusion of the poison needles forced Golbat to exclaim in pain, looking at its wings with surprise, where three small punctures oozed dark red, nearly black, foul-smelling blood.
It wasn't unfamiliar with Poison Needles, having seen plenty.
As a Poison-type Pokémon, Golbat wasn't afraid of Poison Needles or poison.
But Weedle's three Poison Needles went far beyond its expectations of poison potency, and if not for its internal resistance, it had no doubt it would be poisoned.
This was Poison Needle?
But the intense pain rendered its wings immobile, preventing further flight.
As it realized, a blazing heat approached, and looking up, its sight was fully overtaken by the flame-like blue-black shockwave.
Without time to react, it was swallowed instantly.
Dratini, having recovered, promptly followed with another Dragon's Fury, also defeating this Golbat.
Both Golbats were completely incapacitated, the entire process taking less than a minute from start to finish.
Lance looked at the two Golbats on the ground with a twinkle in his eyes.
These two Golbats weren't weak; at least if Dratini or Weedle faced even one alone, it wouldn't be so easy.
Weedle's control was enough, but its technique damage struggled to make an impact on Golbat, which resisted their attributes.
Dratini had enough destructive power, but with the agile flying Golbat, its technique hit rate was worrisome.
Though given time, they could slowly wear them down, the battle felt vastly different from just now.
Weedle's control, Dratini's offense worked at precisely the right moments.
For Lance and Dratini, it left only one feeling...
Satisfying!
Never had a battle felt this satisfying, attacking without worry or restraint.
Natsuhiko and his momentum were vividly displayed in this brief skirmish.
Lance raised his hand towards Natsuhiko, grinning.
Noticing this, Natsuhiko paused, then smiled understandingly.
Pa!
A light hand slap between two palms.
