Kanto Vs Hoenn 2 (Lance enters)

Let's welcome our New Patron, Yasthry!!!

I would be publishing 1 bonus chapter for every increase in a number of patron members.

-------

When Altaria mega evolves, it changes its typing from dragon/flying to dragon/fairy. That was why it was called a dragon betrayer. But the concept of Mega evolution was still not developed in the real world.

Axel was shocked by Altaria due to 2 reasons. It was a rare Pokemon to catch and it was a dragon-type Pokemon which was very hard to train. In the real world, a dragon-type Pokemon was very strong. That didn't mean that it was at the top of the food chain. But nobody wants to fight a dragon-type Pokemon due to its strong defense and high offense. But it was very hard to train a dragon-type Pokemon as it would take time to develop, evolve and rank up.

This was the only reason, Axel had not chosen a dragon-type Pokemon when Oak asked him to choose an egg.

So, choosing a dragon-type Pokemon like Altaria to train it in 2 months and get it ready to win the battle was a foolish choice. But Axel didn't want to come to conclusion as the battle has yet to begin.

Jynx was fast. By the time Boris announced the result of the battle, it had already used 'Hail' and 'Rain dance' as their effect was slowing down. It had healed itself with the effects of 'Hail' and its hidden ability 'dry skin' but it was still injured due to 'Focus blast'.

Axel didn't know who would come out victorious as Altaria was 4 times weak to ice but it was a dragon-type Pokemon with full health. However, Altaria also had a weird hidden ability called 'Cloud nine'.

'Cloud nine' would basically suppress all effects brought on by weather, including move power increase, end-of-turn damage, accuracy changes, relevant abilities, and so on. It would eliminate the effects of the weather. But since it was not mastered fully, it could not eliminate all the effects of the weather which was a bonus. If this was a final boss fight, Jynx would have definitely lost.

"Let the battle begin", shouted Boris with enthusiasm. His team was winning the battle, he wanted to rub it off against Alex.

"Jynx, 'Blizzard'"

"Altaria, 'Flamethrower'"

Both of the attacks clashed with each other but fortunately 'Blizzard' came on top. This was an obvious result due to the effects of 'Hail'.

Altaria was hit badly by the attack but Jynx didn't give it any time and attacked with 'Ice beam'

"Altaria 'Fly'", said Susan

It was able to dodge the attack but due to hail and the after-effects of 'Blizzzard', flying high was a serious problem.

"Altaria, dodge those hail and then use 'Aerial ace'", said Susan.

Altaria was proficient in dodging the hails from above. It flew a bit high and came towards Jynx at rapid speed.

"Jynx, use 'Ice beam' on the ground and then on Altaria", said Lorelai in a hurry. 'Aerial Ace' was fast and it hardly missed due to its speed. So, Lorelai wanted Jynx to freeze the ground near it so the move would not connect.

Jynx also tried to fire 'Ice beam' on Altaria but it dodged the attack. The attack made contact with the ice on the ground and then it broke instantly. It pierced the ice and then moved towards Jynx. Jynx was in no way to dodge the attack and was hit by the move. It was sent flying 50 meters away and then it landed on the ground.

Seeing that Jynx might lose the battle at this stage, Lorelai instructed Jynx to use its ultimate move.

"Jynx, use 'Blizzard', 'Ice beam' and 'Icicle spear' at the same time.", said Lorelai. She had been training Jynx to use multiple moves in a short period of time for quite some time now.

"Altaria, use 'Flamethrower' again", said Susan. She didn't tell it to fly, cause flying during the active use of 'Blizzard' would be a rookie mistake.

Jynx was not able to use all 3 of them but it was able to use 'Blizzard' and 'Icicle spear' which did considerable damage to Altaria. Just like Ludicolo, it fainted after using the move.

Due to the use of 'Blizzard', the 2 referees could not see the outcome of the battle and Susan was fast on using 'Roost' on Altaria just like Lorelai did. She copied her style to stay ahead of the battle.

"The first member of the Kanto team has been eliminated. The next member should be on the stage in 10 seconds.", said Alex with renewed vigor.

"Lance, why don't you go up now", said Axel. Lance nodded his head and stood up for the battle. He wanted to use Lance on the 3rd turn but seeing 2 of the opponent's team down and 1 in the doorway, Axel changed his plans. As per Axel's estimation, Lance should be able to defeat Altaria and another Pokemon. After that only Steven would be left. Axel figured that just like himself, Steven would come out last.

Jynx was hit by a 'Focus Blast', and 'Aerial Ace' which were very high-powered moves. But it had done a good job and made way for their almost certain victory.

Altaria was not in a good condition. It had used 'Roost' to heal a bit of itself but unlike in the game 'Roost' needs a high level of mastery to heal 50% of health and after using 'Roost', the Pokemon would be in a weakened state after some time.

The 4-time ice weakness had done its job and it was in its last legs. Altaria was only standing due to its high defense by being a dragon-type Pokemon. Any normal Pokemon would have already fainted by being hit by so many ice-type moves.

Lance threw the ball and Arcanine came out. The hail and rain were still there which disturbed Arcanine too.

"Let the battle begin!!!"
