Kanto Vs Hoenn 3 (Steven enters the Field)

"Let the battle begin!!!"

"Altaria, 'Dragon breath'"

"Arcanine, 'Electric Charge'"

Both of the moves clashed but Arcanine came on top by a large margin. 'Electric charge' was the electric version of 'Flame charge'. Since Altaria being was weak from previous battles, it was heavily injured, the move hit it and send it flying dozens of meters away.

"Arcanine, use 'agility'", said Lance. He wanted it to be prepared for other opponent cause…..

Altaria had fainted.

Arcanine had trained this move for a good amount of time and it was devastating. Altaria didn't seem to have a good physical defense which lead to this.

"The third member of the Hoenn Team has been eliminated. The next member should be on the stage in 10 seconds.", said Boris with a loud voice. Alex was softly hissing due to anger.

Due to the use of 'Agility' and 'Electric charge', the speed of Arcanine had gone up. Arcanine could only use 'Agility' 1 time as it had just learned the move but it was okay.

Steven didn't say anything but another guy from Tile family stepped up to the battlefield. His name was Graemond.

He threw the Pokeball and out came….

"ROARRRRR"

Golem…..

Golem was a terrifying Pokemon if it was used in the right way. It had the ability 'Sturdy', which raises its defense. In a game, 'Sturdy' would let the Pokemon survive with 1 HP with an attack that would otherwise knock it out. But in a real world, it would raise the Pokemon defense to a high level.

The effect of hail and rain was over now and the environment was as clear as day.

This was going to be a hard battle for Arcanine. There were only 3 weaknesses of it. Water, Rock and Ground. Golem had 2 of the 3 weaknesses of Arcanine.

The only saving advantage for Arcanine was that it was fast.

Nobody knew who would win the battle. Lorelai was chewing her nails in anticipation. She had done all she could do for the team. Infact, she had exceeded the expectation of the team. If the battle would be in Lance's victory or even in a draw then the chances of the Kanto team winning this whole battle was almost 100%.

If it was even a draw, then the Kanto team would have 3 members left and the Hoenn team would only have Steven. There was no chance that Steven would win against the 3 of them with Axel on their team. But if Lance would happen to lose this battle, then the chances would decrease from 100%.

"Let the battle begin!!"

"Golem, use 'Rock Polish'"

"Arcanine, use 'Sunny day'"

Lance was smart to use say it after Graemond. He wanted to use a status move like 'Sunny day' but if Graemond were to use an attacking move then he would be forced to do the same as Arcanine was weak against rock and ground-type moves.

"Now, Golem, use 'Roll out'"

"Here it comes," mumbled Axel. Axel was most afraid of this move as 'Roll out' would increase Golem speed further. 'Rock Polish' had already increased its speed and now this move.

"Arcanine, use 'Flamethrower' on the roll out", said Lance.

'Flamethrower' did slow down the move but it didn't stop it. Seeing that it would not stop the attack, Arcanine started to dodge but was unable to and was hit by the 'Roll out'. Arcanine was flown away but it stayed its ground.

The 'Roll out' turned again and started to move towards Arcanine with more move speed than before. The most disgusting thing about 'Roll out' was its subsequent attacks. The power of the attack almost doubles each time the move is used and even with the lowest mastery, it could be used 5 times.

The second 'Roll out' also made contact and the power of the move was bigger than before. When the third 'Roll out' came, Lance came up with a unique idea.

"Arcanine, use 'Bulldoze'"

Arcanine stomped the ground with its legs and cracks started to form in the ground. Due to 'Roll out', the legs of Arcanine were injured so the force of 'Bulldoze' was not hundred percent. The 'Roll out' got stuck in the crack and finally stopped. The full body and the face of the Golem could now be seen again.

Without any instruction from Lance, Arcanine fired up a 'Flamethrower' that hit Golem in the face. Golem was resistant to the fire-type attacks but it did have an impact.

"Golem, now use 'Stone edge'"

Massive pointy stones started to come out of the ground trying to hit Arcanine.

"Arcanine, dodge the attack and use 'Flame charge'"

Arcanine was successful to dodge the attack and then fired up with 'Flame Charge' that hit Golem again. Golem had used 'Rock polish' but it was still much slower than Arcanine.

The use of 'Flame charge' increased the speed of Arcanine again.

The battle went on for 5 minutes more.

In those 5 minutes, Arcanine dodged 'Hyper beam' with a narrow margin and was hit by 'Earthquake' which made it even more injured.

Among those 2 Pokemons, Golem was the one who was severely injured. Due to the continuous use of 'Bulldoze' which was supper effective against Golem and with Arcanine's high speed and fire attacks, Golem was on the brink of fainting.

The 'Sunny day' had boosted fire-type attacks with was getting annoying for Graemond. Finally, after 5 minutes, the battle ended with Arcanine's victory.

Golem was doing its best to stand up again, however, Arcanine did something surprising.

"Use 'Morning sun'"

Arcanine was enveloped in a fiery glow and the glow slowly turned off. Meanwhile, Golem could not stand and fainted after trying its best.

'Morning sun' recovered Arcanine's Hp depending on the weather.

Due to 'Sunny day' it had good effects. Lance focused on status moves after seeing Axel's battle. So, it focused on moves like 'Sunny day', 'Morning sun' and 'Agility'. Among them Arcanine had trained 'Morning sun' with more dedication so, its health recovered by a healthy margin.

Lance had won this battle with pure dedication and experience. The battle was in the favor of Golem from the start as it was a strong Pokemon with Rock/Ground typing. It also had some stab moves like 'Stone edge' and 'Earthquake' but it lost due to Lance's careful planning.

Axel gave Lance a thumps up after the battle. Lance responded to it with his thumps up too. If Axel was not in the team then Lance may not have won this battle. Being with Axel had taught him a lot. He would not say that to Axel's face but his respect for Axel had increased a lot.

Steven took his sweet time and came up to the stage. He showed a calm demeanor like winning against 4 members was child's play.

He slowly took out his Pokeball and threw it out

"Oh, Wow!!, that is some Pokemon", said Lyra

It was huge bipedal Pokemon almost 8 feet tall. It was primarily gray with plates of silver armor. The armor on its head had two pairs of holes with horns protruding from the foremost holes. Its forehead plating extended past its upper jaw in a small point. It had sky-blue eyes and two nostril-like holes on the tip of its upper jaw. On the rim of its mouth were several pointed, fang-like protrusions, and the nape of its neck and back have gray-silver armor sections. It had wide, blunt spikes on its shoulders and gray-silver bands on its arms and legs. Its hands and feet each had three claws. It also had a thick, long, black tail.

ROARRRRR...….

It was Aggron.

This was bad. Aggron was the main Pokemon in Steven's team. Who knew that he had caught it on this unknown island. Normally, Aggron was around 6 feet tall. But this Aggron was almost 8 feet tall. It must have weighed half a ton with that height. It looked like a Pseudo- legendary Pokemon. Axel didn't know why it was not classified as such.

"Thinking down the line, how did they all catch 3 evolution line Pokemon except for the first one. Ludicolo, Altaria, Golem and now Aggron. They must be quite lucky", said Axel.

Normally, it would take a lot of time to fully evolve 3 evolution like Pokemons if they were to be raised well. But the Hoenn team somehow had caught them and trained them well.

"Yes, they must be lucky. This Aggron looks dangerous. I don't know if Lance could finish it up.", added Ryker.

This Aggron was much taller and bulkier than its normal counterparts. Axel didn't know how Steven trained it to be like this in only 2 months.

"Let the begin!!!"

"Aggron use 'Rock polish'"

"Arcanine, fire it up with 'Flamethrower'"

Aggron used 'Rock polish' and was hit by 'Flamethrower'. After the dust settled, everyone could see Aggron in full glory.

"Aggron, use 'Earthquake'"

Since Aggron used 'Rock polish' the move was fast and Arcanine was hit by 'Earthquake'. The 'Earthquake was devastating.

Arcanine was hit pretty badly. It took a lot of time to stand up and got ready to fight again. In the meanwhile, Aggron used 'Rock polish' again to speed up.

"Arcanine, use 'Extreme speed'", said Lance with determination. The second that 'Earthquake' hit, Lance knew that he could not win against this Pokemon. So, he wanted to give his best to damage Aggron with his maximum potential.

Since Aggron was slow even after 2 'Rock polish', it was hit with Extreme speed. But Aggron was not known as 'Iron Armor Pokemon' for nothing.

The move dealt some damage but there was no serious injury. If it was any other Pokemon, 'Extreme speed' would have dealt fatal damage but not Aggron.

"Aggron now use 'Stone edge'"

Since Aracanine was in close proximity, the move was going to hit it but due to its high speed, the move was dodged successfully and it fired up 'Flamethrower' again with maximum power which had some effect on Aggron.

But the next hit from Aggron decided the match.

"Aggron, use 'metal claw'"

The claw in Aggron's paw glowed and it dealt a devastating strike to Arcanine. Arcanine fainted on the spot.

"The fourth member of the Hoenn Team has been eliminated. The final member should be on the stage in 10 seconds.", said Boris with a smirk on his face. Kanto team was on the verge of winning the battle.
