In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

Suicune's agility completely outmaneuvered Gyarados, and without a countermeasure, it wouldn't have fared much better.

Gyarados roared loudly, its massive body dancing in a mysterious and ancient trajectory.

Dragon Dance! A powerful special move that amplifies physical attack and speed.

"It's a rational choice, but it won't be that easy."

"Suicune, Blizzard!"

Bakura raised an eyebrow. How could anyone watch their opponent strengthen and remain indifferent?

Suicune opened its mouth, and a powerful blizzard instantly formed, surging towards Gyarados.

Although Gyarados is a Water-type Pokémon, it also has the Flying type, which means that Gyarados has no resistance to Ice-type moves!

In reality, Gyarados's Flying-type attribute brings too many disadvantages to it, causing most people to give up choosing Gyarados as their main Water-type Pokémon, even though it should have been a top-tier Water-type.

Because the vast majority, or even 99 percent, of Gyarados cannot fly! Being a Flying-type, coupled with its enormous size, makes it unsuitable for movement on land, and its special attacks are not particularly outstanding.

Why choose Gyarados as the main Water-type Pokémon?

However, Gyarados can actually fly! Perhaps because its initial evolution is a weakling like Magikarp, Gyarados, even after evolving, is used to living in the ocean and lakes and doesn't go ashore.

Over time, the Gyarados species gradually forgot the ability to fly that was etched into their genes.

····Requesting flowers·····

But Gyarados can actually fly!

There was actually a scene in the special episode where Gyarados was flying, which shows that Gyarados can indeed fly.

However, Gyarados may instinctively believe that it cannot fly, so special training is required for it to master the ability to fly.

Furthermore, Gyarados, as people perceive it, cannot fly, so naturally, it won't be bred in that direction...

"Gyarados, Hurricane!"

And obviously, Mei's Gyarados can't fly...

After all, isn't it normal for Gyarados to not be able to fly, according to the general public?

So Mei chose to confront it head-on, because Gyarados was too big, and it was unrealistic to dodge the blizzard.

Gyarados stopped Dragon Dance. Although it didn't last long and didn't gain any further power-ups, taking that Blizzard hit was definitely a huge loss.

.............

Gyarados swung its massive tail, unleashing a powerful storm that swept out head-on, meeting the blizzard head-on.

"earthquake!"

Having briefly blocked the blizzard, Mei shouted heavily at Gyarados.

Gyarados's special attacks are no match for Suicune, so we must take advantage of Gyarados's strengths.

Gyarados raised its tail high and slammed it heavily onto the battlefield.

The entire venue shook violently, and an invisible shockwave spread outwards.

"Tread again."

Bakura glanced at the blizzard that had been suppressed, but still chose to deal with the earthquake.

Suicune stopped the blizzard, raised its two forelimbs, and then lowered them.

The ground shook violently again!

Stomp, a Ground-type move, is not as powerful as Earthquake, but it is actually very versatile and can also be used to counter earthquake attacks.

The two vibrations oscillated continuously before finally disappearing.

"Gyarados, charge! Use Body Slam!"

Mei waved her arm and gave a deep command to Gyarados.

"roar~"

Gyarados roared and dragged its massive body directly toward Suicune. Despite its enormous size, its charging speed was not slow!

At the same time, a white light flashed on Gyarados's tail as it slammed down fiercely towards Suicune.

"Suicune, attack with divine speed!"

Bakura's lips curled up slightly. Did he think he could have an advantage in close combat? That's too naive.

(I vaguely remember that when I played Gold and Silver, the shiny Gyarados caught in the Lake of Rage could learn the HM Fly... but it's been so long that I don't know if I'm remembering it wrong. Please give me flowers, votes, and a subscription!)

"Suicune, attack with incredible speed!"

Suicune crouched slightly, a flash of white light appearing behind it, and its entire body transformed into a streak of white light as it charged towards Gyarados. Its speed was simply unbelievable!

Gyarados!

Mei's eyes widened slightly, and she hurriedly shouted at Gyarados.

too fast!

Godspeed is arguably one of the fastest speed-up skills among all skills. The only skill that Bakura can think of is the Dragon's Eye, the exclusive skill of the Caterpie race, which is faster than Godspeed.

In Pokémon battles, speed isn't everything, but having the speed to suppress an opponent will undoubtedly give you an advantage.

Especially in battles where the forces are evenly matched.

And when you already have an advantage in strength, and your speed is even better...

Gyarados roared and raised its huge tail high, slashing it down at the oncoming Suicune.

A mountain pressing down on you!

Gyarados is very large; even a regular Gyarados is 6.5 meters tall.

Mei's Gyarados, judging by a rough look, is at least seven meters long, which shows that Mei's Gyarados is quite excellent.

However, their enormous size does not necessarily bring an absolute advantage!

Suicune's lightning-fast attack struck before Gyarados could even raise its tail, but Suicune had already passed right through it and slammed into Gyarados's chest.

Struck head-on by the speed of lightning, Gyarados roared in pain, stood upright, and plummeted uncontrollably toward the ground.

"Destruction Ray".

Without giving him any chance, Bakura said to Suijun, whose body was still falling to the ground in mid-air.

Suijun slightly opened its mouth, and black energy particles continuously condensed into a sphere, the terrifying energy fluctuations sending chills down one's spine.

"Gyarados, Super Impact!"

Mei's pupils contracted. Being hit by a super-fast attack was manageable, but Gyarados's stamina wasn't bad, so it wouldn't be seriously injured.

But if you were to take that Destruction Ray, it would be no joke!

Gyarados forced open its "463" eyes despite the pain, and a spiral of milky white energy condensed on its body.

However, the impact of the lightning-fast attack still exists, and it's not so easy to adjust it directly.

A black, destructive beam of light struck head-on, hitting Gyarados before Giga Impact could even fully complete.

boom!

The Hyper Beam exploded on Gyarados's body, creating a violent gust of wind that sent Gyarados crashing to the ground.

The Suicune, blown away by the blast wave, deftly flipped over and landed gracefully, its limbs gripping the ground as it slid a short distance to absorb the impact. It then stood quietly, waiting for the Hyper Beam's stun time to pass.

"Gyarados is unable to battle, Suicune wins."

The referee observed the Gyarados, raised the small flag, and announced the battle result.

"Wow~ Suicune easily defeated Mei's Gyarados again. It's so strong. Suicune has shown even more impressive and powerful combat strength than Articuno."

"Mei is in a desperate situation."

The commentator in sunglasses exclaimed in amazement, "Suicune decisively defeated Mei's two Pokémon in a row. Judging from its performance alone, Suicune is much stronger than Articuno."

"There was absolutely no chance of fighting back."

Touko looked at Mei with concern. Compared to the less aggressive Articuno, this agile Suicune was really too difficult to deal with.

Gyarados tried to fight back, but it was defeated before it could even touch Suicune.

"That's already pretty good, at least we weren't pushed out of the team."

Alice leaned her arms against the railing, shook her head, and said that in her opinion, Mei's performance this time was really good.

It's clear that Mei is doing her best to deal with Bakura, but the fundamental difference in their strength makes them incomparable.

Moreover...

At least he wasn't pushed around by Bakura, right?

In Alice's opinion, Bakura had already been very accommodating; otherwise, given Articuno's condition and Bakura's command, it would have been much better.

Articuno has a very high chance of giving Mei to Team Push.

……

"Come on, Mei, your last spirit."

Bakura smiled as he looked at the girl opposite him, waiting for her final trump card to be played.

"Ah~ I feel a little embarrassed, but Bakura, I'm really happy to be able to fight you this time."

Mei took out her last Poké Ball, then looked up at Bakura and gave him a pure smile.

There's no need to put so much pressure on yourself. You've already done your best, haven't you?

Moreover, Mei was already very satisfied to be able to fight against a legend in this arena.

Unfortunately, that's where it has to go.

"Monarch Serpent! It's up to you!"

Without saying anything more, Mei tossed her last Poké Ball high into the air.
