Chapter 1002: The Finals, Blue vs. May!
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
Soon, the Pokémon Contest reached its final climax.
Blue and May stood on opposite sides of the Battle Arena. Both were beautiful young girls, and although not yet old, one could already glimpse their future splendor.
"Tch, May...!"
Below the stage, Drew, who had just been defeated, stared intently at one of the girls on the stage.
*I will defeat you in the next Pokémon Contest!!*
"Go, Blue!! Pallet Town is proud of you!!"
Ash, on the other hand, sat in the audience and roared, his voice as loud as dozens of people combined.
He even tossed a Poké Ball, releasing his Combusken.
May's Combusken had a different battle style from his own. Perhaps he could learn a move or two today.
"..."
Amidst this boisterous noise, Blue's face, illuminated by the lights, appeared flushed and rosy. Beads of sweat trickled down her smooth forehead.
The fighting strength of her opponent was definitely not to be underestimated...
"..."
May's gaze also swept across the audience. Seeing that the white-haired youth was nowhere in sight, she couldn't help but frown secretly.
*So that guy ran off early?*
The two on the stage locked eyes, their battle intent surging. Finally, they threw their Poké Balls forward simultaneously.
"Combus-ken!!"
The one May sent out was, naturally, her starter Pokémon, Combusken. The moment it appeared, it began to stretch its body, its movements nimble and powerful.
"Maw...wile~~"
On Blue's side, it was the Mawile that perfectly combined cuteness and the bizarre. Its strange, large maw was hidden behind its head, revealing only a lovely and pitiful face.
*Dee!*
As the five-minute countdown began, the match officially started!
Mawile's expression suddenly changed, revealing a dangerous look.
The Intimidate Ability activated successfully, causing Combusken's Attack to decrease slightly.
However, Blue's expression did not relax much because of this. If it weren't for Mawile having the Fairy-type, its Steel-type would have been completely suppressed by the opponent's Fire- and Fighting-type advantage.
"Combusken, use Bulk Up!!"
May wanted to cut her losses with the first move.
"Use Astonish!"
However, just as Combusken was striking its Bulk Up pose, the opposing Mawile made another ferocious face. The extreme contrast made Combusken's movements freeze for a moment.
The Bulk Up move failed.
"Tch, this Pokémon is quite strange..."
May raised an eyebrow. Since that was the case, she would just start the attack.
"Use Flame Charge!!"
Combusken understood, immediately taking off and dashing across the stage.
*Vroosh!*
Its entire body ignited with an explosive flame, turning it into a giant fireball.
It circled Mawile continuously but didn't attack. However, Combusken's speed was visibly increasing.
"Oh, so it doesn't have the Speed Boost Ability?"
Ash stroked his chin. It couldn't passively gain speed, so it needed to use the Flame Charge move to actively accelerate...
*But now this move is mine!*
With the Speed Boost Ability combined with Flame Charge, his own Combusken's speed could reach its peak in a short amount of time.
"Watch carefully and copy all of its moves!"
Ash patted his Combusken's head.
"Combus-ken!!"
The Combusken beside him stared with shining eyes, fixing its gaze on the female Combusken on the stage.
The unique filter of the Pokémon Contest even lent an alluring atmosphere to May's Combusken...
"Use Fairy Wind!!"
Surrounded by Flame Charge, Mawile's body danced and spun, instantly whipping up a pink whirlwind that spread outwards.
The move Fairy Wind wasn't weak, but Flame Charge's power wasn't high either. In the stalemate, it actually managed to blow away the flames from the opponent's body.
Blue focused intently on the Battle Arena, not taking the initiative to attack.
In a match like this, a defensive counter-attack was clearly more effective.
Seeing her opponent completely cede the opportunity to attack, May naturally wouldn't hold back.
"Use Double Kick!!"
Combusken understood, immediately leaping into the air, its two clawed hind legs kicking towards the target one after the other.
"Block it with Iron Defense!"
Mawile, however, neither dodged nor evaded. It stood its ground and assumed a defensive posture, its entire body glowing with a silvery-white light.
*Clang!!*
*Clang!!*
Two dull, heavy collision sounds were heard. Combusken's Double Kick landed a perfect hit on its opponent. The force was immense, sending Mawile sliding back a distance across the stage.
But in the end, it still managed to withstand the blow.
The Fairy-type's bonus meant that Fighting-type moves did not deal super effective damage to Mawile.
"Now, use Fire Punch!!"
However, this Combusken's movements were exceptionally agile.
Its Double Kick was fully executed, but before its body had even landed, it changed its motion in mid-air. Its right arm's sharp claw clenched into a fist, which was already burning with a raging blaze.
*Boom!!*
The Fire Punch struck Mawile dead-on!
Super effective!
The scorching blaze instantly made Mawile let out a muffled groan.
As if infected by her opponent's battle intent, Blue also seemed full of offensive spirit today.
"Don't let it get away, use Psychic Fangs!!"
Mawile forced itself to endure the unfamiliar searing heat, using its entire body to grab onto the fist Combusken had extended.
At this moment, the strange maw connected to the back of its head was able to move freely.
Within its gaping maw, a phantom of a giant mouth with sharp, pink teeth had already appeared...
*Clang!!*
Psychic Fangs also bit down hard on Combusken's body.
Super effective!!
A violent explosion of smoke and dust erupted at the point of contact, sending both Pokémon staggering backward.
*Dee! Dee!*
On the electronic screen, both May's and Blue's score bars dropped by a large chunk.
But May's attack was like a raging storm, showing no signs of stopping.
"Use Flamethrower!!"
Combusken understood instantly. The moment its retreating form landed, a thick pillar of flame shot from its mouth, scorching the air.
"Block it with Fairy Wind!!"
Blue didn't dare to be careless and quickly commanded.
Mawile swung its strange, large maw, and a pink storm instantly swept out.
*Fwoosh...!!*
The two ranged moves collided, but the flame's power was clearly much greater. After a brief stalemate, it completely overwhelmed the gale of Fairy Wind.
*Tap-tap-tap!!*
The sound of rapid footsteps rang out.
Combusken was seen bursting through its own flames, its right fist once again igniting with incredibly fierce fire as it launched another punch at the target with astonishing speed.
Fire Punch!!
*Boom!!*
The scorching Fire Punch slammed squarely into its target. This instantly caused both Mawile's HP and Blue's score bar to drop to a flickering state.
But just then, Blue's eyes lit up, a hint of slyness appearing in her lively eyes.
"Now, use Payback!!"
In the next instant, after taking a Fire Punch head-on, Mawile's entire body erupted with a surging, dark-red aura...
