I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

"Gyarados, use Dragon Dance in the opposite direction, then counter with Tornado," Gary commanded.

Upon hearing the sound, Gyarados immediately enveloped itself, reversed itself, and used Dragon Dance, along with a tornado. The two tornadoes merged into one, forming an even larger tornado that burst out of the pool and approached Kingdra in the blink of an eye. Kingdra used Hydro Pump to block, but the Hydro Pump was directly deflected by the tornado, and Kingdra was also hit by the tornado, its body flying backward.

boom! ! !

King Thorn Dragon crashed into a stone pillar on one side, then fell to the ground, its eyes spinning in circles.

Seeing Kingdra fall, Gyarados also stopped its tornado.

"Kingdra is unable to battle, Gyarados wins!" Kabu said.

Kingdra lost quite unfairly because it was limited by the terrain and couldn't utilize its advantages. If it had been a completely water-based terrain, Kingdra wouldn't have been defeated so quickly.

"Kingdra, come back." Xiaochun recalled Kingdra and looked at Gyarados.

It has to be said that the red Gyarados is incredibly cool. Any trainer who loves Gyarados will find it irresistible to the deadly allure of this ferocious red creature.

"Gyarados, it's up to you!" Xiaochun sent out her second Pokémon.

Baton!

A blue Gyarados appears and falls into the water. The two Gyarados face each other, staring fiercely at each other, as if they are about to fight at any moment.

【LV54 Gyarados♀/Elite Four】

Tsubaki's Gyarados is female, with white whiskers extending from the corners of its mouth, and it is also smaller than Gary's Gyarados.

"Gyarados, come back." Gary took out a Poké Ball and recalled his Gyarados.

Although Gyarados can continue to battle, it doesn't want to achieve a 1v3 victory; other Pokémon also need a chance to participate.

"Gengar, you go!" Gary said.

"Geng Ga!"

Suddenly, a head popped out of Xiao Mao's shadow, and a Gengar emerged from it, leaping lightly into the arena.

"Gengar...!" Xiaochun was very surprised, mainly because she was surprised that there was a Gengar hidden in Xiaoming's shadow.

Xiaochun breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Xiaomao's Gyarados was too strong, and Xiaochun really couldn't guarantee that her own Gyarados could win.

"Gyarados, use Dragon Breath!" Xiaochun launched an attack.

Gyarados opened its mouth and spewed out a large amount of green dragon breath that looked like flames, giving Gengar no room to escape.

"Shadow Ball!" With a command from Gary, Gengar quickly conjured a Shadow Ball and launched it. The Shadow Ball was like a speeding baseball, unstoppable, and easily pierced through the dragon's breath.

· ·Requesting flowers·· ·······

boom! !

The Shadow Ball struck Gyarados's lower jaw and exploded, interrupting its breath attack.

This little buddy is really inconsiderate, letting Gyarados use a special attack move to attack. Isn't that just asking for trouble? Gengar's special attack base stat is 130, while Gyarados's is only 60, more than half the difference. Not to mention that Gengar's Shadow Ball has a STAB boost, and with the added boost from a perfect Curse Talisman, Shadow Ball has a power of 160.

"Gyarados uses Water Tail!" Xiaochun immediately reacted and switched to physical attack.

Gyarados swung its body, leaping out of the water, its tail coated in a layer of water, and lashed out at Gengar.

"Frontline attack, 100,000 Volts!" Gary commanded.

...... ..... ....

"Geng Ga!"

Gengar, its entire body crackling with electricity, unleashed a golden bolt of lightning at Gyarados, ignoring Gyarados's Water Tail.

Snapped!

"Roar!!"

Both attacks hit each other. Gengar was knocked out of the arena and crashed into the wall. Gyarados was bathed in lightning and suffered severe damage. In an instant, Gyarados's massive body collapsed to the ground, its eyes rolled back, and it lost consciousness.

"Gyarados is unable to battle, Gengar wins," Kabu announced.

"It actually knows electric-type skills," Xiaochun said in surprise.

Gengar is strong, but it's not necessarily a match for Gyarados. Gyarados has a crushing bite, and if it can hit Gengar, it can definitely inflict serious damage.

Xiaochun originally planned to lull Gengar into a false sense of security, wear it down first, and then use Crunch to decide the outcome.

As it turned out... Gengar actually knew Thunderbolt, which was something Tsubaki hadn't expected.

Gyarados is a Water/Flying type, and Electric-type moves can deal 4x damage to it. Even though Gyarados has a high Special Defense, it still can't withstand 4x damage.

"Come back." Xiaochun no longer had the confidence she had at the beginning. Her expression turned serious as she recalled Gyarados.

Shigeru was also very curious about what Tsubaki's third Pokémon would be.

According to the original storyline, Tsubaki also has a Dragonair, but it's currently just a Dratini and hasn't evolved yet.

Having witnessed Gary's strength, Tsubaki will definitely not send out Dratini; instead, she will send out other Pokémon.

266: Collect all badges, and the mission reward will be doubled.

Grandpa Tsubaki's Dragonite hasn't recognized Tsubaki yet and can't be commanded, so Tsubaki's third Pokémon will probably be a Pokémon that Gary doesn't know about.

"Charizard, I'm counting on you for the last one!" Xiaochun threw out a Poké Ball.

Baton!

A bipedal, fire-breathing dragon resembling a Western dragon makes its appearance.

Charizard...!

When Xiaochun sent out Charizard, Xiaoshi felt embarrassed.

From this perspective, apart from Kingdra, which is a Dragon-type Pokémon, the other two of the three Pokémon that Xiaochun sent out are not Dragon-type Pokémon.

Like her cousin, Xiaochun is a pseudo-Dragon-type trainer.

【LV56 Charizard♂/Elite Four】

The Pokémon that Xiaochun has are all very high-potential, starting as Elite Four members.

"Could this Charizard also be from Charizard Valley?" Xiao Mao wondered to himself.

"987"

Xiaochun and Ji Ke are best friends, and Xiaochun's Charizard was most likely caught in the Charizard Valley.

Gary originally wanted to send Weavile into battle, but since Camellia sent out Charizard as her last Pokémon, Weavile was clearly no longer suitable to participate.

"Gengar, come back," Gary said.

Gengar wanted to continue fighting, but seeing that Gary had spoken, it withdrew from the battle, returned to Gary's side, and lurked into Gary's shadow.

Xiaochun frowned. Xiaoming was changing his Pokémon so frequently, clearly wanting to completely defeat her. Suddenly, Xiaochun felt a little angry.

Regardless, the Inkstone Gym is the strongest gym in the Johto region. For the opponent to challenge it with the mindset of complete victory, they are showing a complete disregard for their own gym.

Therefore, no matter what, Tsubaki must defeat the Pokémon that Gary sent out, so as not to disgrace the name of her gym.

"Since it's Charizard, let's have a battle between Charizards." Gary took a Poké Ball from his waist and threw it.

Baton!

A Charizard even larger than the small Charizard appears.

"This Charizard...!" When Tsubaki saw Shigeru's Charizard, she immediately felt a sense of familiarity.

"I caught this Charizard in Charizard Valley; it's the strongest Charizard there," said Gary.

"What! You went to Charizard Valley!" Xiaochun exclaimed in surprise. She had wanted to catch the strongest Charizard in Charizard Valley, but she was no match for it, so she had to settle for other Charizards.

Unexpectedly, Gary managed to capture the strongest Charizard in Charizard Valley, and they met again, becoming rivals.

"Roar!"

Charizard roared, recognizing Xiaochun's Charizard. Back in Charizard Valley, Xiaochun's Charizard had also performed well.

"Roar!!"

When Xiaochun's Charizard saw the strongest Charizard in the valley back then, it gave a powerful and resounding response.

"Charizard, let your predecessors see how much you've grown. Use Dragon Claw," Xiaochun commanded.

"Roar!!"

Tsubaki's Charizard spread its wings and charged towards Gary's Charizard, its claws wreathed in dragon power, forming a pair of energy dragon claws to attack.

"Go up to the sky and use the air slash!" Xiao Shigeru commanded.

Charizard soared into the sky, dodging its opponent's sudden attack. Xiaochun's Charizard stopped charging and immediately looked up at the sky, where it saw wind blades falling from the heavens.

Xiaochun's Charizard immediately swung its claws to shatter the wind blades. As soon as it made contact, Xiaochun's Charizard felt the force of the wind blades. It used all its strength to shatter one wind blade. Then, one wind blade after another fell, instantly engulfing Xiaochun's Charizard.

A cloud of dust rose up, and when it cleared, it was clear that Xiaochun's Charizard was covered in wounds left by wind blades. With just one blow, Charizard was severely injured.

There is still a gap between the Heavenly King and the near-Heavenly King, and the outcome of this battle is no longer in doubt.

"Shadow Claw!" Shigeru commanded.

Charizard swooped down, and Xiaochun's Charizard immediately spewed flames to block it, but the flames were easily torn in two by Charizard's Shadow Claws, which mercilessly struck Xiaochun's Charizard, knocking it back.

Shigeru's Charizard pressed its advantage, leaping up to catch up with the Charizard that had been knocked away, and with a crushing force, pinned Tsubaki's Charizard to the ground.

Bang! !

Xiaochun's Charizard suffered repeated heavy blows and finally collapsed.

"The match is over. The winner is challenger Shigeru," Kabu announced reluctantly.

Kabu thought it would be a great match, but his young lady was completely dominated by Shigeru.

Xiaochun was extremely dissatisfied with her loss. Losing wasn't the problem; the problem was how badly she lost. Xiaomao was truly inhuman, deliberately trying to completely defeat her.

Seeing that Tsubaki remained silent, Gary recalled his Charizard and asked, "Miss Tsubaki, can I have the badge now?"

Xiaochun took a deep breath. She was no longer a little girl and couldn't act impulsively. She calmed herself down, took out her family's gym badge, and said, "This is the Rising Dragon Badge, proof of defeating the Inkstone Gym."

"Thank you."

Xiao Mao thanked him and accepted the badge.
