Chapter 217 - 6 gym battle part 3 (1/2)

In the audience,

Swablu flew in the air and had used ”cotton guard” protected the audience from being drenched in water. The cotton on her clouds expanded around the audience.

The cotton on coming in contact with water expanded.

After the waves calmed down, Swablu retracted back the cotton too.

She then gracefully landed on the seat looking forward at the going battle completely ignoring the gaze of everyone.

Pikachu thanked his friend for the help who just chirped back at her old friend.

” Pokemon pokemon” Misty shouted looking at the Swablu with excitement.

Not only her but even her sisters, Jim and his grandfather and uncle too looked at the small cotton bird Pokemon with shock and admiration.

Daphne too had admiration in.her gaze and said to Swablu,” Thank you Swablu for the help or we would have been completely soaked in water.”

Her thanks was the queue which helped others gain their voice and voiced their own thanks.

The second youngest daughter of the Waterflower, Lily asked her mother,

” Mom, what pokemon is she? She is so cute. And how was someone so small can be strong enough to stop so much water. ”

” She is a Swablu, dear. She is a very strong Pokemon. Don't underestimate her. She had dragon genes in her. ” Daphne explained to her daughter. Swablu heard this news and sat proudly. Daphne looked at her face and she rubbed her and Pikachu's head.

” Dragon? Wait she is a dragon type pokemon?” Gray asked her shocked. Not only him but even his father, James was shocked as everyone their age knew just how powerful the image of the dragon type were in most people's view.

” No, not her. But her evolved form is. Her kind is most commonly found in Hoenn. Swablu are sweet and cute. They are just like most pre evolved forms of dragon types. Their evolved looks more of a dragon, a majestic beauty worthy of respect.

It's evolved form is an altaria. They are just as majestic and powerful as any dragon Pokemon. ” She said.

Misty on her hands too joined in rubbing the heads of the two Pokemons.

Jim, who was pretty ignorant about Pokemons asked,” are dragon types strong?”

This gave Daisy who didn't like him much a chance to downgrade him and said,” You don't even know about dragon Pokemon. What do you expect from a stupid fool?”

” Why you?” Jim stood up and shouted at her, but his father stopped him and said,” Calm down Jim. If you shout now, Alex would be distracted in his fight.”

Daphne stopped her daughter too and apologized for her behaviour.

Gary then explained it to his son,”The dragon pokemons are one of the strongest pokemons in the wirld and their only weakness are the ice Pokemons. Most attacks aren't effective on them and their strong power makes them a terror to fight against. It is not wrong to say they are the strongest Pokemon type out there. ” Gary have his son the civilians view about the dragon types.

But, it only confused jim. Seeing his expression, Daphne asked,” is there something wrong Jim?”

Jim looked at his father then turned to his grandpa and finally Daphne and said,” But Alex said something else to me while he was teaching about Pokemons, how to raise them and train them.”

Daphne eyes sparkled wishing to know the views of Alex, the best trainer of his generation had about dragons.

James was curious what his eldest grandson, Alex had taught his second eldest grandson, Jim asked, ”then What did he teach you about dragons Jim?”

At this time, poliwhirl was knocked out from Marill's double edge and new Pokemons Cloyster and tentacruel were released.

” Wow, dad's using Cloyster. I remember he once frozen the water in the gym battlefield to ice completely.

After all how could dad lose to an idiot's cousin who doesn't know anything about dragons.” Daisy sneered at her similar aged Jim.

Jim was angered by her words but ignored it in favour of answering his grandpa's question. He narrated what Alex told him,” Alex told me that although dragons have the least deficiency in case of type disadvantage, then any other Pokemon type but their biggest shortcoming is that they take a lot of time to evolve.

Their pre evolved forms are much weaker than their final evolved forms and until that moment they don't have much threats against their opponents.

And even after evolution to their final form, only idiot Trainers would consider this type invincible for every decent trainer can have at least a few pokemons capable of dealing with them.” Jim told everything Alex told him.
