186 chapter 66 (1/2)

When the trio of Slowking, Electabuzz, and Espeon teleported away from Alex, they encountered their respective opponents in the form of Alakazam, Nidoking and Nidorina.

Slowking left to face off Alakazam while Espeon went away with nidorina.

Everyone knew that the battle between the two left out pokemons would be the decisive battle of the Pokemon Tide invasion and will determine the Victor.

Yet they themselves knew that they weren't strong enough to involve themselves and would only be a burden for the other.

When they left, Electabuzz and Nidoking shrouded themselves in their respective forms of power.

Electabuzz was shrouded in the golden stream of thunder while nidoking was in a purple hue.

In terms of type advantage, Nidoking may have a clear cut advantage but in terms of elemental powers, they were each other's equal.

Most of the nidoking found in the wild are basically poison attribute pseudo king. As for why they weren't ground type, is because of their lack of enough training.

Poison provides a better chance of survival than the slow and clumsy ground attacks that average Nido family learns.

Only on becoming Nidoking and they are powerful as well as lucky at that, then they could learn some powerful ground type or rock type moves which are effective against the electric type Electabuzz.

And that move would be earth power. But it would all be based on his luck.

In this battle, the only thing which could put electabuzz in danger would be his poison.

And the most prominent place which could poison him would be the spikes and areas around them.

Electabuzz with the increased speed appeared just below nidoking and gave a heavy thunder powered hammer arm on his stomach.

It managed to push back nidoking a couple of steps but a heavy tail wrung towards him glowing purple.

Electabuzz jumped in the air to dodge and swing his tail as iron tail.

They both clashed but electabuzz lost in brute Force making him step back.

Electabuzz put his feet on the ground firmly to not skid back more and rushed back with both his arms glowing in yellow.

Electabuzz speed was his advantage so he dodged as many attacks as he could and made sure that he would three hits for every single hit received.

And the slugfest began. Fist hit fist, leg hit leg and tail hit tail.

Nidoking even used his horn to attack but electabuzz made sure to evade in time.

They continued like this until Slowking's ascent was sensed by them and both created some gap in between them.

Now after the slight time of rest, they have started to use long range attacks with nidoking sending thundershock and thunderbolt to irritate him.

These attacks won't knock him out but may paralyse the for in front of him making him an easy target.

Both pokemons currently have only one move which is effective on the other.

Nidoking had Earth power while electabuzz had ice punch.

These two are killer which could change the course of battle if used in the right moment. So they both are waiting for that moment.

Nidoking smashed his hand in the ground and the ground seemed to turn dark. As soon as it arrived near electabuzz he instinctively jumped back barely escaped the attack.

The entire ground he stood exploded with poison and everything around seemed to die.

Electabuzz was even more vigilant now. He was at a disadvantage with his thunder attack not working effectively due to type attribute so he cannot fight from long range and get defeated in physical strength showing he was at disadvantage at close range too.

He seemed to think of utilising the killer move now. Although he won't be defeated at least he would be slowed down giving him enough time to dodge most attacks.
