"Gliscor, Stone Edge!"
"Houndoom, Roar!"
"Ursaring, Swords Dance!"
Clem hurriedly gave the orders.
He didn't expect Gliscor's Stone Edge to defeat Gyarados, he only hoped to slow down its advance.
And as long as "Roar" hits, Gyarados will be forced back into its Poké Ball.
In this way, all of Gyarados's previous power enhancements will vanish.
As for Ursaring, it is the last barrier.
If the plan fails, then Ursaring will have to fight Gyarados head-on.
This is Clem's last trump card!
But if the plan succeeds, Ursaring will become the sharp blade to harvest Adrain.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Huge rock pillars condensed and shot out like missiles.
Unfortunately, Gyarados had already reached its full potential, and an attack from Gliscor couldn't stop it in the slightest.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Wherever the water surged, rock pillars shattered, turning into a shower of stone dust.
"Awooo~"
At the same time, Houndoom opened its mouth and let out a ferocious roar.
But then, a large hole suddenly appeared in the ground beneath Houndoom's feet, and a yellow-skinned rat burst out, striking Houndoom's soft belly with its paw.
Pikachu had come to reinforce!
Gyarados wasn't fighting alone.
"Awooo~"
With a miserable cry, Houndoom was immediately knocked away and crashed heavily to the ground.
Clem's Houndoom wasn't weak, but unfortunately, its physical defense was too low, and the Ground-type "Dig" was extremely effective against it, so Houndoom couldn't get up for a moment.
But most importantly, its roar failed!
Immediately afterward, everyone saw Gyarados pounce unstoppably on the protective Gliscor.
Undoubtedly, another instant kill!
But at that moment, as the lightsaber shadow in front of Ursaring dissipated, its aura began to surge.
Ursaring had successfully executed Sword Dance.
Ursaring's attack power had increased dramatically!
At the same time, a strange dark purple tinge appeared on Ursaring's face, accompanied by a pained expression, and even faint spit of blood.
"This is—poisoning?"
Adrain's gaze sharpened, thinking to himself, "But why?"
Although puzzled, this was clearly not the time to dwell on it.
Because Clem had already given the order, roaring, "Ursaring, Facade!"
This wasn't Rejuvenation Roar, but a special move.
When a Pokémon is in a status condition, using "Facade" on the opponent doubles its power.
Adrain's expression turned serious: "So, this Ursaring's ability is 'Guts'?" First , "Swords Dance" boosts Attack, increasing its Attack by two stages.
Then, by using "Guts" after being poisoned, its Attack is boosted again.
Finally, it uses its STAB move "Facade," which doubles in power while poisoned.
With this triple boost, Ursaring's Attack power has reached an unbelievable level, not weaker than Gyarados with Attack Boost, Rain, and Ocean King abilities, and perhaps even stronger.
Fortunately, Adrain's Gyarados has also undergone four "Overconfidence" boosts.
At this point, Gyarados, in terms of Attack power alone, is practically godlike.
So after a brief moment of surprise, Adrain coldly shouted, "Gyarados, keep pushing!"
"Roar~"
"Roar~"
After a moment of charging up, Ursaring and Gyarados collided, like a collision of planets.
The terrifying power seemed to shake the earth.
The force of the collision between the two Pokémon was even more terrifying than a typhoon, sending Adrain and Clem flying backward. The surrounding trees were uprooted, creating a small zone of destruction.
"Ursaring!"
Clem scrambled to his feet, quickly looking towards the center of the battlefield.
Using a special potion to poison Ursaring and unleash its life potential was Clem's last resort.
Of course, this method was somewhat detrimental to Ursaring, as it could only be used once in its lifetime.
But at this moment, Clem felt no peace of mind.
He couldn't understand the boy opposite him or his Gyarados at all.
This was a feeling of unease he hadn't even experienced before, even when pursued by Gym Leaders.
"Roar~"
Just then, the two Pokémon finally decided their fate.
With a scream, Ursaring's massive body was completely engulfed by the waves, forced to retreat.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It smashed through countless trees, creating a crater over a hundred meters long in the ground. The Gyarados, which had been pressing down on Ursaring, finally stopped its momentum.
When the water subsided, the Ursaring didn't roll its eyes.
Instead, blood seeped from its eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
Its life force was rapidly draining away, and it soon lost its breath.
"Roar~"
Gyarados wasn't in much better shape either. Not only was its head spinning, but it was also panting heavily, a sign that its power had been exhausted.
Although Power Boost, Ocean King's Authority, and Rain's amplification didn't require additional energy from Gyarados or put a burden on its body, defeating four Pokémon in a row caused Gyarados's "Overconfidence" to be activated four times, boosting its attack power four times. This inevitably overdrawn Gyarados's stamina and could even cause significant damage to its body.
According to Clair's assessment, Gyarados could barely withstand using Dragon Dance twice without any aftereffects.
But three times was a different story.
And four times would definitely damage Gyarados's body and even deplete its life potential.
Fortunately, the "Overconfidence" ability is passively activated, which theoretically should have fewer aftereffects than actively using power-up moves.
Even so, Adrain dared not let Gyarados attack again. Instead, he continuously activated energy orbs, pouring large amounts of energy into its body to alleviate the damage and side effects.
On the other side, with a successful Surf attack, Clem's Houndoom also lost its battle ability.
Finally, this sudden battle came to an end.
"I lost!"
Clem knelt on the ground, his expression somewhat dazed.
But soon, he raised his head again, looking at Adrain in confusion: "You—who exactly are you?"
This age!
This strength!
He doesn't seem like an unknown person at all.
Most importantly, the other party actually knows his identity!
"Think about yourself now rather than me!"
Adrain naturally wouldn't reveal his identity information. He just chuckled and shouted, "Pikachu, knock him out with Electrocution!"
Since it was a battle, Adrain naturally wouldn't care about human rights anymore.
Just do it!
"Pika~"
Pikachu's eyes lit up, and sparks immediately appeared on its cheeks.
"Aaaaaah!"
Clem screamed in agony, instantly charred and burned beyond recognition, his body billowing black smoke.
Only then did Adrain have time to recall Dratini, his eyes filled with pity.
Fortunately, Pokémon are quite special creatures; as long as they don't continue attacking after losing their battle ability, their recovery ability is extremely strong.
After spraying Dratini with healing spray, Adrain infused it with several energy orbs, allowing it to rest.
Looking at the mess, Adrain was momentarily dazed.
"Should we call the police, Rotom?"
At this moment, Rotom's phone flew over, suggesting, "If you've been attacked by members of an evil organization, you can choose to call the police. I have a video recording of your entire encounter and fight, which can serve as evidence. The police will protect your safety, Rotom!"
"Call the police?"
Adrain remained noncommittal.
In the Pokémon world, Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny are undoubtedly trustworthy people.
But that doesn't mean the police station is completely trustworthy.
Especially in the Kanto region, which is Team Rocket's stronghold, it would be too easy for them to infiltrate the police station.
Adrain clearly didn't want to reveal his identity, lest he be harassed by the Rockets.
"I'll make a call first!"
