Chapter 250 - 37 (2/2)

The referee declared,” Magcargo is unable to battle. Please choose your next pokemon. ”

Rosy who understands what happened just returned her Pokemon back without much wait. She picks another pokeball from her ball strap belt and enlarged it .

She isn't that much affected by her loss and sent her next Pokemon with a smile,” Destroy Claydol.”

And a black doll shaped Pokemon is revealed. Seeing his appearance, Elsa's expression turned grave, but she controlled herself and decides to use Weavile to weaken Claydol.

In the audience,

Looking at another new Pokemon mostly found in Hoenn region, mostly in deserts or ruin exploration,yet most doesn't know what the name of pokemon even was.

” What is that strange doll pokemons?”

” Will it be a cursed doll? Maybe a ghost pokemons?”

Similar thoughts run through the mind of other people.

But the doubt is clarified by the commentators,” Folks, this pokemon is called a Claydol, a psychic ground Pokemon. This is another pokemon normally found in Hoenn. They are extremely powerful for they sometimes serve as the guardian of the ruins they are assigned to guard.”

Alex is still relaxed on seeing this pokemons, but Julius has a dignified look.” It seems your Princess got herself in some trouble. ” Alex joked but Julius didn't reply.

In the battlefield,

Because of this the pool in the center has frozen along with a quarter of the land in the field.

But this ice didn't affect Weavile and Claydol. The crowd feels Rosy may soon lose her second pokemons.

The commentator narrated,”Although it seems like claydol is being subdued but it isn't the case, folks . Claydol are called fortress in ancient times due to their defensive poweress.

Also, Weavile seemed to be badly hurt against the fight with Magcargo. Because of the burns from last fight, his speed is greatly reduced. If she doesn't do something big, then the victory of Claydol is imminent. ”

In the battlefield,

Both Rosy and Elsa also knows that the situation is similar to how Stain described but it doesn't mean Elsa has to like it.

She knows that the longer the battle drags on the lesser damage Weavile can inflict in Claydol. So it is necessary for her to inflict enough damage on claydol so her next pokemon may win the battle easily and she has an upper hand.

So Elsa devised a plan. The long range attack are deflected by claydol and the close ranged ones aren't strong enough to hurt Claydol.

If Weavile was in full health then the close range ones may play a role but in his current situation, it is a fool's dream to depend on them.

She orders her Pokemon,” Ice punch”

Soon Weavile used his superior speed and appeared just under his left side and almost hit claydol but claydol has imprisoned him with psychic.

With Weavile under their control, the victory is in the grasp so Rosy smirks. Same was with the audience and most of the people,but Alex isn't one of them.

He knows Psychic cannot hold down Weavile, so the arrogant princess Elsa must have something up her sleeve and this may require the opponent to lower his guard. Before Rosy can finish the battle, Elsa's next order shocked them all,” hyper beam” .

Weavile easily broke through the psychic hold and sent the powerful hyper beam at the claydol.

Because Weavile is too close to the blast area, he is hurled back and hit the boulders around the field.

When the dust cloud subsides, Weavile's fainted figure on the boulder is revealed while Claydol is mostly unaffected, or so most would think if not for his arm which seem to be immovable.

” Weavile is unable to fight, please send out your next Pokemon”

” Oh she lost in the end. It seems her last hit doesn't hit the mark. I think Claydol may have use protect to save himself.” Marian expressed her opinion.

” I am of the same mind, Marian. Let's see what pokemon she decides to send up next. ”

With Alex,

” Her last attack didn't work out in the end. The protect us a very tricky move which can cause problem for her later. ” Julius said sadly.

” I won't say that it is completely useless. The attack is too close, and that claydol isn't as strong as mine to instantly use protect to save himself.

He used boulders around to protect himself. Although he survived, he is also hurt in the aftermath. Also, Rosy is pretty cunning, she has hid her secret move under the guise of protect. That move may really annoy her later.” Alex said as his eyes sparkled with glee.

Although Alex can win most fight with his superior strength, he likes the battle with strategy and intrigue the most, for in his opinion human mind is mankind's greatest strength and any chance to exercise it cannot be given up.

Although Lucius didn't understand what he meant, he understood that Elsa is in a bigger problem than he apparently thought she is.
