Chapter 52 - Completing Quest (2/2)
Then the group of 4 trainers rushed to the battlefield to attack. A and B used their 5 Pokemons to hold 3 Primeape. K and Axel went for the Mankey. The Mankey's group was already injured by fighting Butterfree for 2 days but the sheer number of 20 was not to be taken lightly.
Sandshrew fought with only 1 Mankey. Nidoran took 3 Mankey, the group of Charmander and Shedinja fought with 5 Mankey together and the rest were handled by the Butterfree group.
Nidoran V/S 3 Mankey
Nidoran used 'Venom drench' on 3 Mankey. Since they were already tired and hypnotized from the battle, 2 of them (Mankey1 and Mankey2) were hit, and one of them (Mankey2) became poisoned. It then used 'quick attack' to dodge Mankey 3's 'low kick'. Axel didn't have to instruct it cause they had already discussed the battle plan before. But at that exact moment, one of the Mankey from Butterfree's group used 'screech'. Nidoran was confused for half a second when 'low kick' connected. Nidoran was not affected much cause it is resistant to fighting-type moves.
”Nidoran use bite” shouted Axel. At a point-blank range, Nidoran viciously bit Mankey3. Mankey is resistant to dark-type moves but it flinched. At this point, Mankey1 was ready to use 'scratch' but Nidoran dodged it perfectly. Axel had told Nidoran to dodge the attack if it was able to and to face it head-on. ”Now horn attack” Nidoran used 'horn attack' at Mankey1, but it dodged that move and Mankey3 was hit by it. 'Horn attack' was powered by 'focus energy' so, Mankey3 seem to be out of the battle. But as Nidoran was having a small victory, he was flown away by few meters. Mankey2 had come and hit Nidoran with a 'thunder punch'. Axel could not wholly focus on Nidoran cause he also had to instruct Shedinja's group.
”This guy knows 'thunder punch'?” shouted Axel with a surprised look. Nidoran seemed to be partially paralyzed. Its speed has been reduced by a lot. Since it could not move fluently, 'Chip away' was out of the question. But since 'venom drench' lowers attack, Nidoran was only sightly injured.
”Nidoran, concentrate and use 'sludge bomb'”. Seeing one of their partner faint, the 2 Mankey became enraged and ran towards Nidoran. Nidoran waited for the correct time and then used the move. The move hit both Mankey. Mankey2 fainted on the spot cause it was already poisoned and Mankey1 seem to be barely holding. Nidoran then finished it with another 'horn attack'.
'Sludge bomb' is a powerful move. Nidoran is not fully capable of utilizing its power. Though it is already lvl 10, Nidoran could only use this move 2 times, before it faints. And since Nidoran was already injured by 'thunder punch', it was already very tired.
Charmander and Shedinja V/S 5 Mankey.
But Charmander picked Mankey4 by its tail, swung it round and round, and threw it towards Mankey5, 6, and 7.
Shedinja was using the combination of 'shadow sneak' and 'hypnosis' . It would attack them with 'hypnosis' and then hide in the shadow. After doing it 2 times, all the 3 Mankey seem to be sluggish. It then used 'gust'. 'Gust' is a flying-type move that is super effective against Mankey. Shedinja didn't seem to have any problems. But its stats were dangerously low, so it was already tired. It thought to finish the battle soon.
When Charmander was resting for few seconds, an enraged Mankey came rushing from Butterfree's group to attack Charmander. Gogoat was standing near Charmander. It roared, standing on 2 feet, and then ruthlessly used full-body charge and slammed the target. The body of the Mankey who was jumping was smashed by its 2 black horns and was slammed directly into the ground. The Mankey seemed to be moving no more. It was dead.
'F.u.c.k! How powerful is this Pokemon of mine? I wish I could see its stats' thought Axel.
After this, Charmander helped Shedinja and they quickly won the battle. Just when the battle ended, Axel could hear a loud roar. It belonged to B's Sandslash. They seem to have caught all the 3 Primeape.
”Your leader is gone. Surrender and leave this place and never disturb in Butterfree area. We will give you some antidotes and potions” said B in a loud voice.
A lot of Mankey seemed to be poisoned due to Butterfree group and Nidoran. The Mankey group already knew that it was a lost battle. So, they did what B told and went their way.
The quest was completed.
