Chapter 51: Fighting Brawly

After being hit by Machop's Fire Punch, Aron was knocked out on the spot.

"Well done, Machop!"

On Brawly's side, after seeing the effective attack of Machop, a smile appeared on his face.

"This is bad!"

Rosa, who was watching the battle on the side, was also worried about Gary's situation.

However, even with such a disadvantage, Gary did not panic at all but showed a mysterious smile.

And the next scene also made Brawly, who was originally full of smiles, stunned in place.

Aron, who was thrown out by Machop's Fire Punch, did not stand up again after landing as Brawly had imagined, but remained motionless.

Finally, in his sight, Aron completely turned into a series of light spots and disappeared on the field.

"This is..."

Looking at Aron who turned into a light spot, Brawly also came back to his senses immediately, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief: "This is a Substitute!"

Yes, just as Brawly said, the Machop's punch had hit not Aron, but a Substitute.

"That's right."

After seeing Brawly recognize it, Gary nodded without comment.

"Too awesome, Gary!"

Rosa, who was originally worried, was excited for Gary at this moment.

"When did the Substitute perform?"

Brawly couldn't figure out when Aron had used Substitute.

"Could it be..."

After racking his brains, Brawly also came up with the answer: "It was when Machop avoided the falling rocks."

"That's right."

Gary nodded and admitted Brawly's point of view.

However, after Gary admitted it, he did not continue to argue with Brawly but began to command Aron.

"Aron, use Iron Head!"

After Gary's order, Aron, who was hiding behind a rock, stood up and charged towards the nearby Machop.

Under the Iron Head move, Machop was hit immediately, and the whole Pokémon was blown away by the impact force, finally falling in front of Brawly.

"Machop!"

Brawly saw this and shouted worriedly.

While Machop fell to the ground, Gary was not in a hurry to attack but was preparing for the next move.

"Aron, Stealth Rock!"

After a layer of white light flashed on Aron's body, rocks suddenly appeared in the air on Brawly's side of the battlefield.

However, these rocks did not attack Machop but floated quietly in the air.

"This is troublesome!"

After seeing this situation, Brawly patted his forehead helplessly.

"Start the next wave of attack, Aron."

After using Stealth Rock, Gary immediately launched the next wave of attack.

"Continue to use Rock Slide!"

Pieces of rocks appeared around Aron again and then continued to rush towards Machop.

"Bullet Punch!"

Seeing the oncoming rocks, Machop immediately used Bullet Punch, and its fist, as fast as a bullet, smashed the incoming rocks one by one.

"Rock Tomb!"

While Machop was smashing the rocks, Gary was not idle but continued to command Aron.

While Machop was smashing the incoming rocks, several rocks suddenly appeared under its feet, which was concentrating on fighting the Rock Slide.

Machop was immediately buried by these rocks and found it difficult to break free for a while.

"Machop, break free quickly."

Although Brawly also called out desperately, the injured Machop found it difficult to break free for a while.

"Aron, give it the last blow, use Take Down!"

As soon as Gary finished speaking, Aron was wrapped in a white light, and then took small steps and rushed to the place where Machop was buried.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a loud noise, the buried Machop was also knocked out on the spot, finally falling heavily in front of Brawly.

Unlike the last time, this time Machop did not continue to stand up but completely lost the ability to fight.

"Machop loses the ability to fight, Aron wins!"

After the referee looked at Machop's eyes, he immediately announced.

"Thank you for your hard work, Machop."

After the referee's announcement, Brawly took back the fainted Machop.

"Well done! Come back and rest for a while."

For Aron's first appearance, Gary also gave a big compliment and then took it back into the Poké Ball.

"Gary, your strength is really amazing!"

After retracting his Machop, Brawly also said in an admiring tone.

Although neither Gary nor Brawly sent out their main force, Brawly was still one step behind when the Pokémon were of the same strength, which was why he praised Gary's strength.

"Mr. Brawly, thank you for the compliment."

Gary still looked neither humble nor arrogant.

"But the next one is very different!"

Then Brawly took out a Poké Ball and said to Gary while throwing the Poké Ball.

"Go ahead, Makuhita!"

In a beam of white light from the Poké Ball, an orange Pokémon that looked like a sumo wrestler appeared on the field. It was Brawly's Makuhita.

Pokémon: Makuhita

Type: Fighting

Ability: Thick Fat

Gender: Male

Level: 31

Qualification: Gym

Moves: Tackle, Arm Thrust, Fake Out, Knock Off, Vital Throw, Belly Drum, Detect, Seismic Toss, Bulk Up, Close Combat...

"It's Makuhita!"

After seeing Makuhita, Gary also had an idea to deal with him.

"Leave it to you this time, Electabuzz!"

In a beam of white light, Gary's Level 32 Electabuzz appeared opposite Makuhita.

"The battle continues!"

As soon as the referee's voice fell, Brawly was ready to launch an offensive at the first opportunity.

"Makuhita, use Fake Out!"

However, just as Makuhita was about to launch an attack, the Stealth Rocks floating in the air smashed down towards Makuhita below.

Makuhita, who was unable to dodge, in addition to having its offensive interrupted, was also hit by these rocks and suffered a lot of injuries.

"It's the Stealth Rock!"

After seeing this scene, Brawly also said helplessly.

"It's our turn next,"

Gary had expected this, so after this, he also seized the time and immediately launched an attack on Makuhita.

"Electabuzz, use..."
