Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Ajin's Trump Card Charizard
Crobat's large wings were covered with venom as it swung at the Air Slash attacking it.
Unfortunately, the Air Slash wasn't cut off, and Crobat was pushed back several meters before it managed to deflect it.
"Your Pokémon still doesn't understand the wind well enough," Ajin remarked, changing the command: "Use Hurricane!"
"Pidgeot!"
Pidgeot flapped its wings frantically, and a huge storm swept across half of the sky, mixed with various wind blades.
Crobat tried to escape, but its speed wasn't fast enough, and it was swallowed by the Hurricane. Its body swayed left and right in the wind, unable to stabilize.
"Crobat, use Mean Look," Gary ordered.
Crobat immediately looked in Pidgeot's direction, and the captivating Mean Look beam hit Pidgeot.
"Come back," Gary said as he saw Mean Look hit Pidgeot, quickly taking out the Poké Ball to recall Crobat.
"Pidgeot!"
Seeing Gary recall Crobat, Pidgeot cried out triumphantly in the air. Although it didn't defeat Crobat, being able to repel it was still a small victory.
"He's really getting carried away," Gary sneered and threw another Poké Ball.
Alakazam appeared.
```
[LV42 Alakazam/Elite]
```
Gary used the last bronze crown on Alakazam, raising its potential to the Elite level. Gary prioritized raising the potential of Pokémon with Mega Evolution forms.
"There's Alakazam!"
Ajin was shocked. He thought Gary would send out the three Pokémon he had at the flying school, but he didn't expect an Alakazam.
Psychic Pokémon are notoriously difficult to deal with, especially in the Kanto Region, because there are 151 types of Pokémon in the Kanto Region, and there is not a single Dark-type Pokémon, so Psychic Pokémon are very dominant in the Kanto Region.
"Pidgeot, use Hurricane!" Ajin attacked first.
Pidgeot immediately flapped its wings, and a huge storm hit Alakazam.
"Use Light Screen to block it, then use Psychic," Gary ordered.
Alakazam created a transparent, glass-like Light Screen in front of it, completely resisting the storm. Then, Alakazam unleashed a powerful Psychic, instantly restraining Pidgeot in the air.
Suppressed by Psychic, Pidgeot couldn't maintain its balance in the air and quickly crashed into the ground.
Bang!
Pidgeot fell heavily to the ground and was knocked unconscious.
Because it flew too high, the damage it suffered from this fall was significant. The damage in battle is not only from skills but also from falling and collisions, which can cause high damage.
Alakazam just used Psychic to make Pidgeot lose balance, then added force with Confusion, easily defeating Pidgeot.
Sometimes flying too high is not a good thing, especially for Pokémon that rely on wings to fly.
They all rely on airflow to fly.
If they are slightly disturbed, they will easily fall from the air.
Ajin recalled Pidgeot and threw out another Poké Ball.
"Charizard, you're up!"
A bipedal Charizard with the appearance of a western dragon appeared.
```
[LV45 Charizard/Gym]
```
"Charizard!"
Gary was surprised. He didn't expect Ajin to have a Charizard, and it was level 45. This strength should be able to catch up with the Cinnabar Gym.
Charizard can walk on land and in the air, but now, Charizard will definitely not choose to fly, otherwise, it will follow the same path as Pidgeot.
"Flamethrower!"
The battle began, and Ajin issued a direct command. Charizard didn't choose to fly and opened its mouth to shoot flames at Alakazam.
Alakazam's eyes glowed blue, and Psychic changed the trajectory of the flames, bouncing them back.
Energy elements like flames can be controlled by Psychic. If the power of the flames isn't high enough, they can't break through Psychic's defense.
Seeing that Flamethrower was ineffective, Ajin changed the command: "Fire Blast!"
"Roar!"
The flames concentrated in Charizard's chest and ejected a large flame, forming a fiery symbol that rushed towards Alakazam. Alakazam used Psychic at a disadvantage.
Boom!
Fire Blast was hit by Psychic and exploded. The shock wave spread out in all directions. The two sides fought evenly, and neither had the upper hand.
"It's so powerful!" Gary was shocked.
After all, Alakazam carried the top-grade Twisted Spoon, which increased the power of Psychic skills by 50%.
With the attribute bonus, the power of Psychic was 180.
But think about it carefully, the Fire Blast skill also has a power of 120, and with the attribute bonus, it is also 180. Charizard's level is 3 levels higher than Alakazam.
The strength is really evenly matched.
"Use Fire Spin," Ajin knew that he would definitely lose this gym battle because Gary had not defeated any Pokémon, and he only had Charizard left.
It would take a lot of energy for Charizard to defeat Alakazam in front of him, and he would basically be unable to deal with Gary's remaining two Pokémon, especially since Gary might replace Pokémon, which would make him completely defeated.
Rather than being completely defeated, he should at least fight 1 for 1 and defeat one of Gary's Pokémon, otherwise, where would his face as a gym trainer be?
However, it was this wrong command that completely cost Charizard the chance to fight 1 for 1.
Charizard spat out flames, and the flames slid on the ground, quickly surrounding Alakazam, forming an encirclement, and the flames suddenly rose.
"Teleport away, use Hypnosis on Charizard," Gary suddenly ordered.
As soon as he finished speaking, Alakazam suddenly appeared in front of Charizard, with two spoons crossed, and hypnotic waves emanating.
Charizard was manipulating the Fire Spin and was caught off guard for a moment, instantly hit by Hypnosis, and the Fire Spin was sluggish.
"Charizard, wake up quickly, how can you get hit by Hypnosis?" Ajin shouted.
Hypnosis is a skill that can only be used in the early stages. When the Pokémon's strength breaks through to the elite level, other Pokémon will find it difficult to fall asleep after being hit by Hypnosis, unless they are Pokémon that are naturally very sleepy or have low special defense.
However, Ajin overestimated his own Charizard. Charizard didn't hear what Ajin said at all and gradually fell asleep.
"The game is over, Alakazam, use Dream Eater," Gary ordered.
Alakazam used Dream Eater, and its mental energy invaded Charizard's dream, eating Charizard's dream, thereby causing special attack damage to Charizard.
"Roar..." Charizard roared in pain in its sleep and woke up immediately. It looked up at Alakazam and opened its mouth to blast Alakazam with flames.
The flames whizzed past, but Alakazam was not seriously injured. Half of the damage from Flamethrower was blocked by Light Screen.
"Psychic!"
