Elf: This owner is so sunny.

"Damn it!" Akin's composed expression vanished instantly.

"Ootaro, unleash a flurry of attacks!"

Akin gave the order decisively.

The Twintails that had just emerged from the ground did not hesitate any longer. The twin tails raised a white light and quickly lashed out at Superbad.

Akin's reaction was indeed quick, and the timing of his command was perfect. An ordinary trainer wouldn't have been able to react in time and would have been hit by Apokolips's flurry of attacks.

However, the Pokémon currently on the field is a Toxapex. Even if it weren't a Toxapex, Bai Yu could react to such an obvious action, and his Pokémon could react as well.

Seeing the twin-tailed monster hand continue to fall, Bai Yu no longer hesitated.

The sudden onset of severe poisoning caused Ah Jin to lose his composure.

Sure enough, he's still a novice trainer.

"Bunker!"

Having already stabilized its body, Supervillain was enveloped in a deep purple barrier.

Boom!

The continuous attacks pounded against the bunker, creating waves of air, but the deep purple defensive barrier showed no signs of breaking.

It withstood the attack from the two-tailed monster almost perfectly, and the dark purple toxins remaining outside the bunker also seeped into the two-tailed monster's tail as it moved.

Gradually intensify the poisonous state of the Twin-Tailed Monster Hand...

As the flurry of attacks ended, Apokolips was enveloped in a ball of poisonous light. The excruciating pain caused Apokolips to contort its body into a writhing mess. It was poisoned, and it was highly toxic. With the added effect of the fortress, combined with its original state of severe poisoning, the toxins spread even faster.

"pounce!"

Supervillain's entire body sprang into the air, a dark green light emanating from it.

A Bug-type attack!
Before the two-tailed monster could react, its entire body was firmly pinned to the ground by Supervillain. It struggled incessantly, but could not break free from Supervillain's restraint.

"Otaro!!"

Akin shouted loudly, trying to free the Twintail Hand from its restraints.

However, the poison in its body was too severe, and Two-Tailed Hand was unable to exert any strength. It could only struggle painfully in place until the extent of its struggles gradually decreased, at which point Devilsaur finally left Two-Tailed Hand's body.

The two-tailed monster lay peacefully on the ground, its body motionless, having lost consciousness.

"The Twin-Tailed Monster Hand has lost its ability to fight."

The referee only glanced at it before determining the state of the Twintail Pokémon.

Seeing this, Akin quickly ran over and poured the antidote he carried into the mouth of the Twintail Monster. The deep purple light that had been rising gradually subsided as the antidote was poured in.

"Double tails~"

Two-Tailed Paws looked at Gold with an apologetic expression. It hadn't been able to help Gold and had lost its first encounter.

"It's alright, Ootaro, go back into your Poké Ball and rest for a bit." Akin shook his head and said softly to Apokolips, taking out his own Poké Ball.

But soon, Ajazz's actions were stopped by Two-Pipes, whose gaze remained fixed on Toxapex. Even though it was unable to fight, Two-Pipes still wanted to watch the next match, sitting and lying next to Ajazz as it watched the match unfold!

"Okay, I understand." Akin didn't insist. He carried Apokolips and walked towards the command area, placing Apokolips beside him before taking out the second Poké Ball.

"Master Baiyu, your strength is indeed formidable!"

Bai Yu never used Toxapex in the Masters Tournament, but the strength that Toxapex showed was in no way inferior to those Pokémon that appeared in the Masters Tournament, and it was even stronger in terms of performance.

Since embarking on his journey in the Johto region, Gin has only ever shown a slight threat to Silver; he has swept aside all the other gym leaders with sheer power.

Having maintained a winning streak, he naturally possessed absolute confidence and arrogance.

Unfortunately……

The person he is challenging right now is Bai Yu.

"Ah Jin, you're quite strong. You've trained that Twintail Pokémon very well."

Bai Yu praised him generously, saying that compared to Silver, Gold had a better attitude towards Pokémon, and that was probably why he would gain Ho-Oh's approval in the future.

"Master Baiyu, my strength is far more than that!"

"I'm going to send out even stronger Pokémon to fight next."

Akin still wore confidence on his face. He would not lose to anyone. These were the words he spoke when he set off on his journey. He wanted to become the strongest trainer in the Johto region, and even in the Pokémon world.

Although his own Ootaro didn't defeat the Toxapex head-on, the Pokémon that will appear next will definitely be able to take down the Toxapex in front of him, even with a type disadvantage.

"Is that so? Then let's give it a try."

Bai Yu smiled faintly, put one hand in his pocket, and looked at A Jin.

No wonder Giovanni likes to do this. When he has the advantage, doing such a thing adds a touch of class to his game. As expected of the leader of the Rockets, no one can rival him when it comes to showing off.

"It's your turn, Bakutaro!"

Akin throws the Poké Ball upwards.

The moment the Poké Ball flew into the air, a flash of white light appeared, and a Pokémon that looked like a honey pot appeared in front of Gold.

Flames raged around its neck, its eyes held a hint of ferocity, and it stood on its hind legs, staring ahead.

Typhlosion, the final form of the three Fire-type starter Pokémon from the Johto region!
"Are those the three Fire-type starter Pokémon from the Johto region?"

The receptionist looked at the Firestorm Beast on the field with some curiosity.

At the same time, a question flashed through my mind: Fire type is countered by Water type. Even if Toxapex is not good at offense, Typhlosion would still be unable to withstand the occasional Water type moves it releases.

'Firestorm Beast, Fire-type, found in the Johto region.'

Feature: Fire
Moves: Tackle, Sacrifice Charge, Gyro Ball, Spark, Fire Breath, Quick Attack, High Speed ​​Star, Spherical, Flame Jet, Inferno Abyss, Charged Flame Strike, Roll, Overheat, Flame Vortex, Mind Blast, Shadow Claw, Dig...

Description: Attacks using explosive blasts of fire. It creates heat waves with scorching flames to conceal itself.

"It's pretty ordinary! Most of the moves I've learned are fire-based."

The receptionist glanced at the Pokédex, her doubts deepening. In her opinion, there was no point in Typhlosion appearing at this moment. Bai Yu wouldn't be foolish enough to let Typhlosion attack, and in a one-on-one battle, Typhlosion was no match for Toxapex.

"It really is a Firestorm Beast!"

Bai Yu stared at the Typhlosion in front of him. Like Red, Typhlosion was Gold's strongest Pokémon, with a status equivalent to Red's Charizard, or rather, Pikachu.

Like Poliwag in Red, Apokolips was raised from a young age, but in terms of strength, the starter Pokémon obtained later in the lab are stronger.

Even after subduing Ho-Oh, Gold still had Talonflame and Typhlosion in front of him.

To some extent, Typhlosion has become one of Gold's most representative Pokémon.

I've basically traveled to all the places I can. Among the starter Pokémon in the Padina region, Meowth and Krookodile are both pretty good. I'll ask Chairman Damaranchi sometime and try to get those two Pokémon. Having those two would make things a bit more exciting.

However, if it were other Pokémon, like those that are unique and stand out from the crowd, Bai Yu could accept it.

"Bakutaro, Thunder Fist!" Akin didn't show much of a change in his mind.

Right now, all he wants to do is deal with the supervillain in front of him head-on.

A golden arc of electricity crackled around Typhlosion as it charged forward. Typhlosion was quite fast, even slightly faster than the Twintail from before.

The poison darts had already pierced the Typhoon's body, but they weren't working yet. Akin was well aware of this and launched an attack decisively.

The next moment, Typhlosion rushed in front of Supervillain and slammed a lightning-infused punch into Supervillain's body.

The electric system's lightning fist.

"Sludge bomb!"

A deep purple stream of light condensed in front of Superbad Star, quickly coalescing into a ball and being thrown towards Typhoon.

A toxic sludge bomb.

"It's poison again!" Ah Jin frowned.

He was thoroughly disgusted by Bai Yu today, especially by the various poisons that kept appearing. He had even fought against A-Ju, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Johto region, who was a poison-type Heavenly King.

Even the Elite Four-level Pokémon, A-Ju, doesn't like using poison this much; the competition is still quite disciplined. However, White Feather Pokémon unleashed poison-type moves one after another.

"Get out of the way, Bakutaro!"

Having learned from his previous experience, Ajin dared not let the Typhoon Beast destroy the Sludge Bomb at will.

Typhlosion weaved through the air, quickly dodging the sludge bombs and rapidly approaching Supervillain.

"Self-regeneration".

Bai Yu did not choose to use a bunker.

This attack is very likely a probing attack by Akin. Whether it's a probing attack or not, once the bunker is lured out, the subsequent battle will become very difficult.

Thunder Punch can inflict unlimited damage on Superbeast, and even with Iron Wall boosting its physical defense by two levels, Superbeast is struggling to withstand several consecutive Thunder Punches.

Instead of attacking, it's better to use self-regeneration to recover some condition and look for more attacking opportunities.

A white light emanated from Supervillain's body, gradually seeping into it. The injuries he had sustained were slowly healed as the white light appeared.

The next second, the lightning fist slammed heavily into Supervillain.

Supervillain grunted, his body being knocked back several steps by the force, but he quickly regained his balance. The damage from the lightning fist was not weak, and the impact was equally astonishing. Fortunately, thanks to his self-regeneration, he remained in relatively good condition.

"Bakutaro!" Akin emphasized, preparing to launch a series of attacks.

The Typhoon understood what Argin meant, raised its fist, and unleashed its Thunder Fist once more.

Just as Typhlosion charged forward, a strong venomous light emanated from its body. It wasn't as dazzling as the venomous light from Talonflame earlier, but the toxin, which penetrated deep into its bones, still caused Typhlosion to pause briefly.

"Megastar! Water Pulse!"

Bai Yu was waiting for this opportunity to attack.

Whenever a Pokémon falls into an abnormal state, it will inevitably show signs of weakness for a moment, and that is the best time for Toxapex to attack.

not good!

Ajin's pupils contracted. A water-based attack released at this distance was probably...

Sure enough, Arkin witnessed Supervillain release a stream of water that hit Typhoon the most hard thing. Its body, eroded by the toxins, was unable to move much, and the water kept washing over it.

The moment the poison subsided, Typhlosion burst out of Water Pulse, roaring in agony. Water Pulse was powerful, and the continuous damage from the poison was equally significant.

Even though Toxapex's special attack is weak, it has a surprisingly good effect on Typhlosion when it is caught off guard.

"Continue, the ripples of water."

Bai Yu spoke again.

Argin has quite the nerve to unleash Typhlosion in front of his own Supervillain. This type-reversed fighting style is quite similar to someone else's.

"Get away."

Akin's face was grim as he stared intently at the figure of Supervillain.

Then, the stream of azure water gushed out again, and the Firestorm Beast kept dodging while charging forward, trying to get closer to Superstar.

"Rage Fist, now's the time!"

"Never-ending entanglement!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the water flow weakened, the Firestorm Beast raised its fist, golden arcs of electricity swirling around it, and slammed it forward.

Supervillain showed no sign of backing down; instead, it pounced forward, using its tentacles to firmly bind Typhlosion's body, and deliberately avoiding the area where flames rose from Typhlosion's neck.

Even a supervillain with a water-based aura would suffer considerable damage from constant scorching heat.

Several tentacles held Typhlosion firmly in place. Typhlosion struggled incessantly and even tried to hit Supervillain's body with its lightning punch.

Just then, the poisonous light rose again, and the Tyrannosaurus instantly lost its ability to resist, while its body was being constantly squeezed by Supervillain's tentacles.

The relentless entanglement and poisoning simultaneously damaged the Firestorm Beast, causing its face to contort as it struggled incessantly, emitting painful roars.

"Bakutaro!"

Seeing his Pokémon in such pain, Akin instinctively pulled out a Poké Ball.

However, after a flash of red light, Typhlosion was not returned to its Poké Ball.

"It's relentless. Once you're caught in this move, unless you break free, the Pokémon can't be returned to its Poké Ball."

Entangling is a Pokémon move introduced in Generation VI, and it is also a Bug-type move. It's normal that Gold isn't very clear about its effects. Simply put, it's like Flame Whirlpool; once you're caught in it, you can't be taken back unless the Pokémon breaks free from the state.

The tentacles continued to compress Typhlosion's body, and the signs of poisoning gradually weakened. Typhlosion had recovered somewhat, and the flames on its neck burned to their highest point. The intense heat caused Supervillain to release Typhlosion's body.

In that instant, Typhlosion raised its fist and delivered a powerful punch to Supervillain.

The golden stream of light, crackling with electricity, was barely formed before it was unleashed, its power not as strong as previously seen.

Superbad Star quickly created distance, staring intently at the Typhoon ahead.

Despite the relentless attacks, Typhlosion triggered its own ability.

This feature is triggered only when the state drops to one-third.

A raging fire! (End of Chapter)
