I'm the Owner of the Pokémon Day Care In the World of Pokémon Chapter 810: Stalemate
After ga Evolution, Gyarados beca even more ferocious, with its type changing from Water and Flying to Water and Dark.
Yuga had previously seen Robert's ga Gyarados, but back then, Robert's Gyarados was in a rampage. However, even under those circumstances, Robert's Gyarados couldn't match the imposing presence of the Shiny ga Gyarados before him.
As long as Shiny Pokémon can successfully survive the survival of the fittest in nature, they are generally quite strong.
Yuga's Shiny Roserade hadn't been born in the wild and hadn't experienced such selective pressures, so he didn't have a deep understanding of it in that regard. However, in terms of innate potential, Roserade was indeed quite remarkable.
This ga Gyarados was no different; its potential was only slightly inferior to what Roserade had when it was first born, making it one of the top-notch Pokémon in the Blue category.
"See this? This is the charm of ga Evolution," Lysandre said, his words filled with temptation, as if conveying sothing to Yuga.
"It does look quite remarkable," Yuga replied, feigning a bit of naivety, pretending he wasn't particularly knowledgeable about ga Evolution.
The ga-Evolved Gyarados had now reached a level almost on par with Champion level Pokémon. Although it lost the Intimidate ability that boosted its presence, it exuded an even stronger aura of intimidation.
"In that case, let's show Mr. Shimizu what makes it even more remarkable in battle," Lysandre said as he issued an attack command to ga Gyarados.
Following Lysandre's command, ga Gyarados unleashed another Iron Tail attack. Its massive tail fin, akin to a folding fan, raised a colossal wave, and a water column with an aura of destruction rushed towards Lapras.
Facing this water column, Lapras opened its mouth and fired a blue-white beam, instantly freezing the water column into ice. However, the impact force of the water column was so strong that even as ice, it continued to speed towards Lapras.
In the face of this situation, Lapras remained unfazed. It used Surf, and with a powerful flick of its broad fins, it created a towering water wall from the pool. The ice column collided with the water wall, experiencing a cushioning effect, and then fell back into the pool as the water wall receded.
The towering water wall blocked ga Gyarados's line of sight. When it finally settled, ga Gyarados saw a yellow-green beam rapidly approaching, almost at the speed of lightning.
In this critical mont, ga Gyarados didn't have ti to think. It instinctively used Protect to block the incoming beam.
The yellow-green beam was Lapras's Signal Beam, a move that had gathered all of its power. If ga Gyarados had been hit by it, it wouldn't have been child's play.
After evolving into the Water and Dark type, Gyarados was now vulnerable to Bug-type moves.
As the Signal Beam, which held Lapras's full power, shattered with a resounding impact, the protective barrier that ga Gyarados had created using Protect also vanished. However, ga Gyarados was still feeling a bit rattled; the recent encounter had been extrely close.
Despite its fierce appearance, ga Gyarados had a calm temperant, having battled alongside Lysandre for a long ti. It wasn't easy to rattle its emotions.
ga Gyarados was competitive by nature, and the slight unease it felt made it harbor so ill feelings towards Lapras. It didn't like being intimidated by Lapras's previous move.
With its composure regained, ga Gyarados burst through the water surface, its imnse jaws wide open as it lunged towards Lapras. Simultaneously, it used the move Crunch, and its massive teeth glistened with an icy gleam, as if it intended to tear Lapras apart.
In response to this situation, Lapras, previously floating in the pool, slapped the water's surface heavily with its four long fins, then quickly retracted them to its sides, surging into the sky.
In this way, ga Gyarados missed its target as Lapras ascended into the air.
From its elevated position, Lapras looked down at ga Gyarados as if to say, "Do You Surprise? I can fly!"
ga Gyarados, still in mid-air and bewildered, hadn't even processed what had just happened when Lapras, from above, unleashed a Dragon Pulse directly at ga Gyarados's head.
The impact of the Dragon Pulse sent ga Gyarados sinking into the water, and the pool's waters churned violently, a testant to the intensity of the battle.
After so ti had passed, ga Gyarados slowly resurfaced, swimming to the other side of the pool while panting heavily. Its red eyes were fixed on the airborne Lapras.
Lysandre watched as his ga Gyarados, despite its ga Evolution, failed to gain any advantage against Lapras. His brow furrowed in frustration.
The young man's strength before him seed to exceed his initial estimations by a considerable margin.
And that peculiar Lapras, it was simply too powerful.
In that mont, Lysandre began to doubt whether his decision to invite Yuga here had been the right one.
Lapras, still surrounded by a faint blue mist, slowly descended from the sky back into the pool. Although it could fly, it wasn't as agile in the water.
After assessing ga Gyarados' condition, Lysandre knew it was ti to bring this battle to a close.
"Gyarados, Thrash," he commanded.
The move "Thrash" belonged to a category of moves associated with desperation, similar to the Dragon-type move "Outrage," and it had strong side effects.
While Gyarados could potentially learn the move "Outrage," it was exceptionally difficult to do so, with significant bloodline restrictions. It is often easier for Pokémon with stronger dragon bloodlines to learn it.
Although Pokémon like Arcanine, Kangaskhan, or Krookodile were theoretically can learn it, but even then, it was quite rare. Learning "Outrage" was even more challenging than Gyarados learning it.
Although Gyarados wasn't a Dragon-type, it still had so Dragon-type lineage (there are Dragons in its egg group).
However, although it is not easy for Gyarados to learn Outrage, learning "Thrash" was relatively easy for most Gyarados.
Upon hearing Lysandre's command, ga Gyarados' eyes glead with a fiery intensity, and its facial expression twisted into a fearso visage. Then, with a swift tail flick, it charged towards Lapras, radiating a nacing aura.
ga Gyarados, driven by desperation, moved at an incredible speed, and Lapras was sent flying by its impact.
However, ga Gyarados didn't stop there, as the side effects of "Thrash" began to manifest, causing it to gradually lose its rationality.
Just as ga Gyarados was about to charge at Lapras again, Yuga shouted, "Lapras, Sheer Cold!"
ga Gyarados collided with Lapras once more, but this ti, Lapras successfully executed "Sheer Cold." In such close quarters, ga Gyarados had no way to avoid it.
A bone-chilling coldness erupted instantly, and the entire pool was frozen in an instant, including ga Gyarados still subrged within it.
Lapras, after being sent flying by ga Gyarados, landed outside the frozen pool, unconscious.
Yuga looked at the frozen ga Gyarados in the pool and his fainted Lapras, smiling as he said, "It seems to be a draw."
Hearing Yuga's words, Lysandre's brows furrowed tightly, clearly dissatisfied with the outco. It wasn't what he had expected.
After a mont of contemplation and several changes in expression, Lysandre finally sighed : Perhaps this is for the best.
"Yes, a draw..."
