Jacob stood on the wide battleground, facing Julia, who had a single ponytail, slender legs, a delicate face, radiating youthful energy and a bright smile.
Compared to Jacob's slight nervousness, Julia appeared much more composed, without the slightest hint of tension.
Their gazes t, and the familiar yet unfamiliar scene before them made both feel as if they had returned to their first battle.
Jacob still rembered that it was after a class dinner. Julia had brought water to the battleground to watch him, and they had a match together.
At that ti, they were on an empty training ground with no audience, only opponents. Like children playing, they had battled.
Jacob's Grovyle had narrowly defeated Julia's Milotic.
Now, the two faced each other again, but as protagonists, standing on the largest battleground in the country, competing for the Champion title witnessed by over a hundred thousand spectators.
Ti truly flies.
"Jacob!" Looking at Jacob across from her, Julia's voice suddenly rang out. She rembered that back then, watching the diligently training Jacob, she had always felt he had unlimited potential.
Indeed, she had not misjudged him. Jacob grew rapidly, becoming the strongest among this generation of Trainers in such a short ti.
"Jacob, please don't hold back."
"Do you still rember what you said? Giving your all is the greatest respect you can show , so go all out."
Listening to Julia's shout, Jacob smiled.
"Okay, you said go all out, right? So, should I bring out Iron Valiant and have a real showdown with you?"
"You asked for it."
However, after thinking about it, Jacob still dismissed that thought. Iron Valiant, as a Paradox Pokémon, appearing in this world would still be too shocking.
"Don't worry, I will go all out," Jacob's voice rang out.
The exchange between the two also ignited the flas of gossip in the hearts of the audience. It seed these two truly knew each other, and their relationship was indeed extraordinary.
Perhaps there was so story between them. They would go back today and write a tabloid news article.
"High School Cup: The Rich Heiress and the Genius Son-in-Law"
"Daily Life of the Champion Couple"
"The Dragon and the Little Fairy"
Listening to Jacob and Julia's exchange, the referee was also very perceptive and did not announce the start of the match. Instead, he waited until they finished speaking before raising his flag to announce the start of the match.
"The match begins!"
With the referee's command, both simultaneously released their first Pokémon.
"Go, Charizard!"
"Here we go, Dragonite." Julia's first Pokémon was her ace Pokémon, Dragonite.
As a pseudo-legendary Pokémon from the first generation, Dragonite is very powerful, with well-balanced stats except for its outstanding physical attack.
At the sa ti, it can learn an incredible number of moves, and precisely because of this, Dragonite's training thods are diverse.
From a violent physical attacker Dragonite specializing in Extre Speed and Dragon Dance, to a defensive Dragonite using Roost, Rocky Helt, and Fire Spin—everything is possible.
However, when ntioning Dragonite, one cannot help but ntion a move: Extre Speed.
Extre Speed has almost beco Dragonite's signature move, especially after Pokémon Scarlet and Violet introduced the Terastal Phenonon. Normal Type Tera Extre Speed Dragonite has beco a major popular choice in competitive battles.
In short, Dragonite is truly an extrely strong Pokémon, and its Multiscale ability is also one of the top-tier abilities. Among all Pokémon, besides Dragonite, only Lugia has the Multiscale ability.
Looking at the Dragonite before him, Jacob also felt it was exceptionally tricky. He couldn't help but wish that Charizard could learn the move Ice Beam.
Dragonite? Just a Flying/Dragon-type Pokémon with a quadruple weakness to Ice—take this Ice Beam from .
"Charizard, ga Evolution!"
Facing a Gym Leader Level Dragonite, Jacob naturally had no need to hide anything. Waiting until a crucial mont to ga Evolve was no different from seeking defeat, so for safety's sake, Jacob imdiately used ga Evolution from the start.
Accompanied by dazzling light, Charizard completed its ga Evolution, its black body gleaming under the sunlight.
From its appearance alone, Jacob's Charizard actually looked more like a Dark-type Pokémon, and of course, its personality was also more like a Dark-type Pokémon.
"Jacob and Julia both sent out their ace Pokémon at the start of the match."
"Facing the powerful Dragonite, Jacob also didn't hesitate and directly chose to have Charizard ga Evolve."
"Both sides are very cautious, not rushing to attack."
"Dragonite, Thunder Wave!"
At this mont, Julia's voice rang out, instructing Dragonite to attack first.
Listening to her command, Jacob's expression darkened. Sure enough, it was that annoying move, Thunder Wave, again.
Just like their first battle, Julia still had her Pokémon use irritating moves.
Jacob still rembered the series of moves Julia's Milotic had learned: Toxic, Recover, Hypnosis, Protect, Haze, Mist, Mirror Coat. This frustrating combination of moves left a deep impression on Jacob.
Despite having such a cute face, she used such incredibly annoying tactics.
Is this the legendary 'Sweet on the outside, cunning on the inside'?
Jacob's frustration was rising at this mont.
Julia is truly strong. Her strength lies in the fact that she could clearly overwhelm her enemies with pure power, yet she remains so cautious, slowly wearing down her enemies with the most stable tactics, giving them no hope of a coback.
Frustrating—top-tier frustration.
Dragonite released a faint current from its body, sending it flying toward Charizard, but due to the distance, Charizard easily dodged the Thunder Wave.
Jacob also checked Dragonite's move pool at this ti. Besides Thunder Wave, it also learned Supersonic, Mist, Extre Speed, Substitute, Protect, Roost, Fire Spin, Safeguard, Light Screen, Toxic, and a series of other moves.
Its ability was Multiscale, which could reduce a certain amount of damage.
The item it held was also Rocky Helt. Upon taking a contact move, the attacking party would take recoil damage.
Very good. Jacob was already starting to feel annoyed.
Jacob strongly suspected whether every single one of Julia's Pokémon used the Substitute-Protect-Toxic strategy.
Facing such an annoying Dragonite, Jacob only felt that today's match would likely be very difficult.
Where is my Gengar? Bring Gengar up to sing a Perish Song, or Alakazam's Pain Split plus Destiny Bond would also work.
Or perhaps letting Iron Valiant enter the battle would be the wisest decision.
Even though he already knew this battle would be exceptionally difficult, Jacob could only grit his teeth and command Charizard to fight.
"Charizard, use Nasty Plot."
"Huh?" Julia's brows furrowed. She had never heard of Charizard learning this move, which made her think she was hearing things.
Not only Julia, but almost everyone present was surprised.
How could a Charizard possibly learn...
Charizard's body surged with Dark-type energy, perfectly matching its black appearance.
"Nasty Plot?!"
"A Charizard actually learned Nasty Plot?!"
"I see! ga Evolution can not only change types or abilities, but it can even allow Pokémon to learn moves they couldn't normally learn."
