Dragonite vs Ampharos!

Such formidable suppression!

A bead of sweat appeared on Wattson's forehead.

He recalled the fainted Manectric into its Poke Ball and looked at the young man across from him, asking, "Are you also from Oldale Town?"

Chen Yue nodded, "Yes."

"Very well! Let's continue!" Wattson laughed heartily, his eyes filled with fiery determination.

As a white light flashed, a Magneton, resembling a Magnet, appeared opposite Mimikyu.

Wattson looked at Mimikyu and asked, "Do you want to switch Pokemon?"

Mimikyu turned in response to this question, shaking its head firmly at its trainer.

Chen Yue understood its meaning and said, "No, it can still battle."

Wattson waved his hand broadly, pointing in the direction of Mimikyu, and commanded, "Go! Magneton, use Electric Terrain!"

"Seize this opportunity! Use Swords Dance again!" Chen Yue ordered quietly.

Arcs of electricity crackled on Magneton's steel-like body, and the air around it instantly thickened. Within the air, sparks flickered, as if shrouded in a faint yellow mist.

Electric Terrain: Pokemon on the ground cannot fall asleep, and the power of Electric-type moves is increased.

While Magneton used Electric Terrain, Mimikyu once again leaped into an intense dance.

Its soaring momentum made it look like a sharp sword, emanating a cold, gleaming edge from top to bottom.

Wattson's face darkened, "We can't let it succeed! Use Zap Cannon!"

"It's too late!" Chen Yue calculated the time it took for Mimikyu to finish its Swords Dance in his mind. A powerful Zap Cannon had already formed in front of Magneton, and its power, amplified by Electric Terrain, had reached a terrifying level.

Just three seconds before Zap Cannon was fired, Chen Yue quickly commanded, "Use Splash to the left!"

Mimikyu's figure abruptly stopped, and it fearlessly faced the oncoming Zap Cannon. Following the trainer's command, it leaped to the left.

The powerful Zap Cannon grazed the cloth-covered Mimikyu and hit the plastic battlefield beneath.

A not-so-small crater was instantly blasted into the sky-blue plastic battlefield, and the surrounding plastic was annihilated by Zap Cannon, emitting a black smoke as it burned.

Seeing this scene, Wattson couldn't help but think it was bad news.

With the boost from the two Swords Dances, the opponent could likely take down his Magneton in just one move!

In response, he decisively ordered, "Magneton, float up into the sky!"

Magneton emitted a buzzing growl and, under the influence of Magnet Pull, slowly ascended into the air.

The height was far beyond what Mimikyu could reach with Splash.

Chen Yue quietly looked up at Magneton.

Wattson, upon seeing this, smiled and commanded, "Magneton, use Lock-On!"

Lock-On: Lock onto the opponent tightly, ensuring the next attack will hit.

Magneton's three eyes rapidly moved, staring firmly at Mimikyu on the ground. The next moment, the movement of its three eyes abruptly stopped, indicating that they had successfully locked onto the target.

"This time, I won't let you escape!" Wattson's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Now is the time! Use Zap Cannon with maximum power!"

Buzz!

In front of Magneton, yellow Spark particles rapidly gathered.

Chen Yue remained calm, quietly commanding, "Destiny Bond!"

If Mimikyu became fainted due to being hit by Zap Cannon, the opponent would also become Unable to battle.

If not, even better!

A purple light sphere suddenly shot from Mimikyu towards the hovering Magneton in mid-air.

At the same time, the terrifying Zap Cannon blasted out, accurately hitting Mimikyu.

In an instant, Mimikyu was engulfed in an electromagnetic surge.

The next second, a faint light shimmered on Magneton, triggering the effect of Destiny Bond. It showed a painful expression in its eyes and fell from mid-air to the ground, losing its ability to battle alongside Mimikyu.

Brawly and Roxanne stared at the real-time live broadcast on the screen without blinking.

Roxanne gasped and turned to Brawly, asking, "Are we really watching a normal gym challenge?"

This battle was as exciting as the annual League Championship!

Brawly looked solemnly at the young man opposite them and had a vague sense of foreboding. After a moment of silence, he spoke, "Do you think... he might challenge our gym next?"

Roxanne thought about this possibility and couldn't find words to reply.

"You've worked hard. Next, leave it to Dragonite!" Chen Yue recalled Mimikyu into its Poke Ball and said softly.

Wattson looked strange and asked, "Are you really a new trainer from Oldale Town?"

Chen Yue thought for a moment. This was his first gym challenge, right?

He nodded honestly and replied, "Yes, this is the first gym I've challenged."

Wattson was unwilling to give up, "Then, were you also trained by that Bug Catcher kid named Chen Yue?"

Chen Yue: ...?

Chen Yue himself hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Wattson scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Because you're not the first new trainer who defeated me..."

Chen Yue instantly understood what had happened.

He didn't respond but calmly took out Dragonite's Poke Ball and released Dragonite.

Wattson looked at Dragonite and asked in disbelief, "Are you really a new trainer from the Hoenn region? I remember this Pokemon seems to be a Kanto region Dragonite, right?"

Chen Yue thought, "I'm just a Bug-type Pokemon catcher without a single Hoenn Pokemon. Is there anything strange about a Hoenn new trainer without any Hoenn Pokemon?"

He nodded and said, "This is a Present my dad brought back from the Kanto region for me."

Wattson looked at Dragonite with envy and said with a touch of sourness in his tone, "Lucky to have a good dad."

He didn't say much and took out his last Pokemon—a two-legged Pokemon with fine, soft, fluffy fur and a red lamp on its head.

Ampharos.

The final battle officially began!

Wattson immediately ordered, "Use Confuse Ray!"

Chen Yue was more direct, "Dragon Rush!"

A purple beam of light emerged from the gem on Ampharos's head, winding its way toward Dragonite.

Dragonite, on the other hand, spread its wings and flew high into the sky, then suddenly gained a Speed Boost, emitting a terrifying red aura as it charged toward Ampharos on the ground.

Wattson saw this and immediately ordered, "Use Cotton Guard!"

Ampharos reacted quickly, and its soft fur rapidly lengthened, enveloping its body.
