Haunter was held back by Graveler's Rock Slide. In order to ensure Houndoom's offense, it could only use Shadow Ball to provide cover.
Now that Beedrill had already dealt with the two Venomoth, the most urgent target to resolve was the Poliwhirl.
Poliwhirl's Water Gun had already reduced much of the flames on Houndoom's body, and its power had been significantly weakened.
Now it was necessary to go and take care of Poliwhirl.
Beedrill quickly turned back, and Pin Missile was fired toward the side of Poliwhirl.
Hitmonchan and Hitmontop were still busy throwing fake punches, completely unaware that Pin Missile was approaching. If these two had protected Poliwhirl at the first moment, Tetsuya would definitely not have had such a smooth time.
This was a problem of the Trainer's command.
Group battles were not something everyone could handle.
Pin Missile struck the sides of the two Poliwhirl. Suddenly attacked, the Poliwhirl jumped in pain, and Water Gun was naturally interrupted.
Only then did the Poliwhirl notice Beedrill. Water Gun changed direction and shot toward Beedrill. With so many clones, they could only sweep fire.
Seeing that Houndoom was about to reach them, the two kids finally panicked and shouted, "Primeape, Hitmonchan, Hitmontop, go, stop that mad dog!"
The two Primeape, along with Hitmonchan and Hitmontop charged forward. As soon as they went in, they felt a numbness under their feet. The Toxic Spikes was still there. Although the toxins had weakened somewhat, it did not mean there was no poison.
The four Pokémon trembled, clearly having fallen into a poisoned state. Fighting-type Pokémon already had low resistance to poison, which made them especially sensitive to toxins.
Gritting their teeth, they rushed forward.
There were eight Houndoom clones, so they could only pick one at random to resist.
"Show them, Houndoom, [Blightfire Assault]!"
After Tetsuya spoke, Houndoom charged at the nearest Primeape with a headbutt. It was immediately sent flying. The fur on its body caught fire, and the poisonous smoke continuously stimulated its sense of smell. It collapsed on the spot.
One after another, the same fate followed.
In an instant, the four Pokémon were all taken down by Houndoom. Of course, it was clear that the power was decreasing more and more.
However, judging from the effect of the power, the clones of Beedrill and Haunter did not provide any enhancement to the Beat Up move…
It seemed that to truly increase the power of Beat Up, it would be necessary to strengthen itself and train more Double Team clones.
Houndoom was also left with only four clones, and the flames were almost extinguished.
At this point, fear had already appeared in the eyes of the two Trainers. Their previous "young master face" had disappeared. Trembling, they recalled the four Pokémon.
The Venomoth could no longer be recalled, but among their Pokémon, Venomoth were the weakest, so their deaths earlier had not caused much grief. However, these four were the core main force. If something happened to them, it would truly be a serious blow.
Now the target was locked onto the Graveler. The two stubborn rocks were still using Rock Slide, but they were already gasping for breath and could no longer resist. They had also been hit several times by Haunter's Shadow Ball.
If not for their tough bodies, Graveler would have collapsed by now. But now, even using Rock Slide was beyond them. The condensation of the move was getting slower and slower. In contrast, Haunter still looked completely at ease.
Houndoom attacked one Graveler twice in succession before knocking it aside. Haunter casually followed up with two Shadow Ball, and the other Graveler also fell.
Only two Poliwhirl remained.
They were busy dealing with Beedrill.
""Poliwhirl, watch your back!"" The two reminded.
…But it was already too late. Houndoom opened its gaping jaws, electricity crackling on its fangs, with toxins seeping between them.
Thunder Fang!
It bit into Poliwhirl's side. Electric current and poison seeped into Poliwhirl's body at the same time, causing it to convulse continuously.
Houndoom did not stop because of this. Not until Poliwhirl's whole body turned purple and it stopped convulsing.
"Poliwhirl… my Poliwhirl… Y-you…! I'm going to report you, you killed a Pokémon!" The Trainer of this Poliwhirl was already trembling as he spoke.
The other person sensed something was wrong and took out a Poké Ball, preparing to recall Poliwhirl.
"Mean Look."
Immediately, a wave of black energy locked onto Poliwhirl, and the red beam from the Poké Ball was deflected.
"It can't be recalled… W-What do you want to do?"
They finally realized fear.
"I told you to leave earlier, but you didn't. Shouldn't you pay some price now?" Tetsuya said casually.
Beedrill's stinger thrust out, Poison Jab striking Poliwhirl's body.
Haunter's Shadow Ball and Sludge Bomb followed up. Under the series of attacks, Poliwhirl was blown apart!
"Go… go, let's go!"
The two glared fiercely at Tetsuya before finally leaving.
People only learn when they see the coffin. If they had left earlier, it would have been fine. Now the people of the Shadow Team were busy exchanging Pokémon with forty to fifty people and organizing points, with no time to manage matters in the wilderness.
There was no one around.
"Wait."
Tetsuya said coldly.
"…What do you want?"
Even at death's door, they were still unaware. The two glanced lightly at Tetsuya, thinking that they could go find the original Cianwood team and attack together, killing all of Tetsuya's Pokémon to vent their anger.
"Don't you like this flower field very much? Why not stay here~?" Tetsuya said.
The two looked at each other in confusion. "You're that kind…?"
"Of course~ With you as fertilizer, next year's flowers will bloom even more brilliantly," Tetsuya said casually. The two had not yet understood.
"Houndoom, Crunch. Beedrill, Poison Jab."
Tetsuya's tone suddenly changed. Only then did the two realize that Tetsuya intended to kill them. This shock was no small matter. They had never expected this person to be so ruthless.
The two turned and ran!
"Help..!"
Before a single word could be fully shouted, Houndoom and Beedrill were already behind them.
Houndoom's Crunch directly bit through one's throat, while Beedrill's stinger deeply pierced into the other's back.
"Houndoom, Flamethrower. Haunter, Will-O-Wisp."
Bright red blazing flames mixed with blue ghostly fire. The two bodies gradually dissipated, their ashes scattering with the wind, nourishing this island…
At this moment, the two Weepinbell on the ground had already seized the chance to escape.
Tetsuya had just "conducted" a simple test of his envisioned tactics. Although it had not achieved the expected results, the power to instantly eliminate four Fighting-type Pokémon in one strike was still quite commendable. Of course, there was still much room for improvement.
Tetsuya also disposed of the two Poliwhirl's bodies, then began preparing to deal with the Grass-types in the flower field.
It was estimated that there were still more than a hundred Pokémon. Catching all of them would certainly waste many Poké Balls, but staying here would delay training, and Tetsuya would also have to face groups of people coming to catch these Pokémon, making it even harder to train peacefully.
After thinking it through, Tetsuya ultimately decided to catch them… Gotta Catch 'Em All!©
