Chapter 78 - Marcus VS Charmeleon (1/2)
Seeing Marcus and Charmeleon ready to fight, Axel was confused. He knew what was going on, Charmeleon had challenged Marcus, but he didn't want them to fight. But Charmeleon's behavior was already out of hand, so he knew that it should be done. So, he steeled his resolve and let it happen. But he could already guess the result of the fight.
And his guess was right.

”I will be the referee of this battle” said Roman. Both of the Pokemons got into their position. They both had arrogant faces like the battle was in their bags. Axel would not be instructing them in battle.
”Let the battle, Begin!!” shouted Roman.
Pokemon POV
Charmeleon immediately used 'dragon dance' to power up itself. Meanwhile, Marcus started running towards few trees. The dragon dance was completed 1 time and it didn't use again. Charmeleon started chasing Marcus. ”What happened boss? Already scared? You know, you could just give up the fight.” It laughed out loud like it was finally going to have its revenge. It then started using 'flamethrower' over Marcus. None of the moves connected as Marcus was using a combination of 'agility' and 'shadow sneak'.
There were now over 5 trees making a 'V' line pattern and Charmeleon was in the middle of it. By this time, Marcus had already disappeared in the shadows. ”Come here and fight. You always called me a child. Now, who is hiding like one?” roared Charmeleon and started using 'flamethrower' all over the place.
It was midday, and the flames added heat in the field. Marcus came from behind and used 'hypnosis' on Charmeleon. But it didn't seem to have any effect on it. Due to the evolution, its body was energized, so 'hypnosis' only seemed to irritate Charmeleon. But Marcus didn't stop. It would come out from one place using ' hypnosis' and disappear. And then it would come out of another place.
The trees may be on 'V' line pattern, but due to midday, the place was covered with shadows. Marcus had purposely run to this place to get the advantage. Charmeleon didn't know about this or maybe it simply didn't care.
It was the most powerful Pokemon now, or so it had thought. But it was unable to even land a single hit. This was making it frustrating.
Charmeleon used 'dragon rush' 3 times and due to the speed of the move with 'dragon dance', Marcus was hit one time. But anyone could have guessed that it did zero damage. Because Marcus was immune to it. This chase and run went for 3 minutes.
”I always told you, child, never to underestimate an opponent. You need to listen more” said Marcus. ”Then why are you hiding boss? Fight me face to face” roared Charmeleon. By this time, Charmeleon was huffing and puffing. It had already used 'dragon rush' 3 times and the move consumed a lot of stamina. It may have evolved and improved but the move still made it tired.
”Ok then, let's fight head-on” shouted Marcus showing a fearless expression. Charmeleon came running. Its right-hand claw was glowing and getting bigger now. This was 'dragon claw' that it had learned before. But it fell to the ground. The fall was not natural and Charmeleon was trying its best to get up. It was succeeding slowly.
This move was 'gravity' that Marcus had learned before. Immediately after that, a peculiar sound wave came towards Charmeleon and almost destroyed its eardrum. It was 'bug buzz', Charmeleon had use its hands to cover its ears, but it hurt itself as the 'dragon claw' was still active. Marcus didn't miss this chance and continued using 'bug buzz'. The move affected it more. Marcus would alternate between 'shadow sneak' combined with 'tackle' and 'bug buzz'.
