Chapter 1040: Inner Focus, Intimidate
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander (Author Name)
In the end, Entei didn't open its mouth to make a sound.
"Woof-roar!!" "Woof-roar!!"
Amidst the noisy barking of the surrounding canines, Entei simply opened its eyes slowly.
Its eyes, behind the hard-shelled mask with its sharp horns, held a strange power within their rainbow-colored pupils.
"!" "!" "!"
The aura Entei released made the three canine Pokémon before it tremble simultaneously.
Even though Entei hadn't roared or used its Intimidate ability, the three dogs were suppressed as if by a great mountain. They shut their mouths and obediently lowered their heads.
Utter dominance!
A single glance had scared the three dogs into silence.
"..."
Ash even gave an awkward cough.
*Mm, I guess I'll have to show Entei more respect from now on.*
*It seems that not having seen my best friend, Gary, for so long has caused me to pick up some of his bad habits...*
"Uh... well, Entei advances to the semifinals!"
Officer Jenny was stunned for a long moment before finally speaking.
This Entei's aura far surpassed that of any dog she had ever seen...
If their police station had an Entei like this, it could intimidate petty criminals with a single glance.
In the end, the four advancing to the semifinals were the two Mightyena from Team Magma and Team Aqua, the amateur's Arcanine, and Ash's Entei.
"Now then, the third round will test your suppression power!"
Officer Jenny stood in the middle of the four trainers and continued her explanation.
"You cannot use moves that involve type energy. You must use pure physical strength to completely suppress your opponent for ten full seconds!"
Besides barking to intimidate, a police dog must, of course, be able to apprehend a thief.
Unconsciously, the Dog Fighting Competition had turned into a Police Dog Competition.
According to the random pairings, Ash's Entei was matched with Team Magma's Mightyena, while the Arcanine was up against Team Aqua's.
The Arcanine's group went first. The two dogs faced off, the difference in their physiques quite stark.
"Hmph, show this ignorant dog your power, Mightyena!"
Team Aqua's Dee sneered and ordered the attack.
"Awooo!!"
The Mightyena understood and immediately charged forward on all fours.
Just before impact, it made a cunning feint, appearing at the Arcanine's flank.
*Thwack!!*
It then dashed forward, ramming a Headbutt directly into the Arcanine's hindquarters.
"Awo!"
The waist is a weak point for most canine and wolf-like Pokémon. The intense pain made the Arcanine wail as it stumbled back repeatedly.
However, the Arcanine ultimately withstood the blow.
It even spun around violently and pounced back at the Mightyena!
In the face of an absolute disparity in physique and weight, technique became a joke.
The Arcanine pinned the Mightyena's forelimbs with its two giant paws, its massive body sitting directly on top of the Mightyena.
One on top, one on the bottom, the two dogs ended up in a very traditional reproductive posture.
"Awooo!!"
Lowering its head, which was covered in a lion-like, brownish-yellow mane, the Arcanine bared its fangs, viciously threatening the dog beneath it.
But both were male, and as they faced off tensely in such a position, an extremely peculiar feeling arose between them.
"..."
"..."
The Arcanine, still baring its teeth threateningly, and the Mightyena pinned underneath both suddenly blushed and turned their heads to the side at the same time.
"Ten seconds are up! Arcanine is the winner!"
Officer Jenny's voice brought an end to the awkward encounter.
"Dammit... That damn dog!"
But Dee, the previous year's champion, was exceptionally furious.
His sinister gaze was fixed on Trainer C and the Arcanine, his eyes bloodshot.
*Later, I'll find a chance to throw a sack over them and give that arrogant trainer and his dog a good beating!*
*Hmph, a Fire-type Arcanine, daring to show off in front of us from Team Aqua?*
*What rotten luck!*
As for the other battle, the match between Entei and Team Magma's Mightyena had also begun.
"Awooo...!"
The cunning Mightyena roared repeatedly, putting on a fierce expression as it paced back and forth around Entei, searching for any opening to attack.
But Entei just stood there with its eyes closed, seemingly full of openings...
Yet, the Mightyena was breaking out in a cold sweat, not daring to pounce and attack.
And when Entei opened its eyes again, a terrifying aura surged forth like a mountain flash flood or a tsunami!
"Awo!"
This caused the Mightyena to retreat as if facing a formidable enemy, its back arched and its body trembling all over.
Entei's focused, single-target intimidation was simply too strong!
Canine Pokémon are naturally sensitive, and the Mightyena could feel that its opponent was like a real volcano...
No, it was an existence even more terrifying than a volcano!
It felt as if getting any closer would mean having its very bones burned to ash.
Not to mention, Entei's Inner Focus ability is the natural counter to the Intimidate ability, and even has an anti-intimidation effect of its own.
"Awoo-whimper...!"
In the end, the Mightyena tucked its tail between its legs, let out a whimper, and voluntarily fell to the ground in a gesture of surrender. The scene was somewhat comical.
Huoyan: "..."
His face flushed red, and amidst the jeering laughter from the crowd, he quickly recalled his Mightyena.
*Dammit, why is this stupid dog so cowardly today!?*
But then, Huoyan's gaze toward Entei was like he was sizing up a priceless treasure, making no effort to hide the blatant greed and fervor in his eyes.
*A Fire-type Legendary Pokémon, and one that is the very representation of a volcano...*
*Not only does it have a dominant appearance, but its strength also seems extraordinary.*
*Now that the God of the Land, Groudon, has proven unreliable, making Entei the new face and mascot for our Team Magma seems like a pretty good choice, doesn't it?*
Thinking this, Huoyan walked straight up to Ash and Entei and asked with a grin:
"How about it, young man? Do you want to join our Team Magma?"
However, Ash gave a rapid-fire triple refusal, pulling Entei back with him.
It was as if Team Magma was some kind of bad omen.
"Hmph!"
Ash's expression, as if he had just stepped in dog crap, made Huoyan's face twist in anger.
*Since he refuses the easy way, I'll just have to find a chance to take his Entei by force.*
*Judging by Entei's expression, it probably wants to get rid of its trainer anyway. It can cooperate with us at Team Magma!*
*I wonder how those two kids are doing with planting the explosives...*
*Counting the time, they should be done by now, right?*
While everyone's attention was on Entei, Huoyan, who had already been eliminated from the competition, casually began to move toward another part of Mt. Chimney.
*"Hm? What's that fatso up to...?"*
And Dee, who had been watching Huoyan the entire time, noticed his subtle movements and began to follow silently, his expression unchanging.
