The spark on Pikachu's body flashed, and a golden Thunderbolt struck directly at Cloyster's defensive shell.

"Withdraw!"

At the critical moment, Madison's voice rang out sharply.

With a sharp click!, Cloyster's two shells snapped shut tightly. In an instant, the Thunderbolt struck, but the floating Cloyster on the water managed to block Pikachu's electric attack with its sturdy defense.

As the residual sparks dissipated, Madison issued her next command.

"Aurora Beam! Freeze the field for me!"

Responding swiftly, Cloyster opened its shell. A chilling blue beam burst forth, shooting directly toward Pikachu. The beam froze everything it touched, leaving a trail of ice across the battlefield.

Pikachu, undeterred, charged itself with electricity and leaped high into the air. Its sharp eyes scanned the now-frozen terrain below.

The entire swimming pool had been turned into an icy battlefield.

"Pika...chuuuu!"

Pikachu's cry echoed through the arena as sparks of electricity danced across its body. With a dazzling display, Pikachu unleashed a burst of electric energy that split into multiple bolts, spreading across the icy field.

BOOM!

The entire swimming pool erupted in a storm of thunder and light. The frozen surface shattered into countless fragments as Pikachu's electricity coursed through it.

Cloyster, caught in the blast, couldn't withstand the overwhelming force of Pikachu's Thunderbolt. The sturdy shell Pokémon fainted on the spot, its combat effectiveness nullified.

Electric-type moves against water—an impeccable strategy.

Gallade observed the field, nodding in approval. "Not bad," it seemed to convey silently.

Madison was momentarily speechless but quickly composed herself.

"Cloyster, return." She recalled her defeated Pokémon.

"The third match," she continued. "Whether we fight or not, you've already won two games. Do you still want to continue?"

Gallade exchanged a glance with Pikachu, then gave a firm nod. Returning Pikachu to its Poké Ball, Gallade immediately threw out another.

From the ball emerged Charmander, its flame-tipped tail burning brightly with determination.

Seeing the small Fire-type, Madison froze for a moment, clearly caught off guard.

Is this a joke? she thought.

"Char-Charrr!"

Charmander cried out, its eyes filled with fiery resolve.

Madison carefully examined the little lizard and raised an eyebrow. "Not even at an intermediate level? Are you serious?"

Still, she accepted the challenge with a shrug. "Oh well. Since you're sending out Charmander... then I'll use Squirtle!"

She released her next Pokémon. As Squirtle materialized on the field, it locked eyes with Charmander, sizing up its opponent.

Madison smirked. "A fair matchup of starters, huh? Even though my Squirtle is stronger than your Charmander, let's see how this goes."

Charmander's expression shifted. The sight of Squirtle triggered something within it. This wasn't just an opponent—it was a Rival.

Charmander growled softly, "Char..." Its eyes gleamed with excitement.

Meanwhile, Squirtle remained calm, standing firm. It had been trained to treat every opponent seriously, no matter their size or strength. The little turtle clenched its fists and readied itself for battle.

Madison raised her hand and shouted, "Squirtle, go! Water Gun!"

The battle began.

"Squirtle!!!"

At Madison's command, Squirtle opened its mouth and unleashed a powerful Water Gun aimed directly at Charmander.

Not one to back down, Charmander countered immediately. A Flamethrower erupted from its mouth, the searing column of fire meeting Squirtle's water stream head-on.

BOOM!

The clash of opposing elements created a massive explosion, sending steam billowing across the battlefield. The intense heat from Charmander's flames evaporated Squirtle's water attack in an instant.

Madison's expression shifted to one of surprise and concern. "What is going on?!" she murmured, her gaze locked on the Charmander.

This wasn't what she expected. The Charmander was supposed to be weaker than Squirtle, but its flames were unnaturally hot. The thick steam now blanketed the entire arena, obscuring the view.

"Squirtle, Rocket Headbutt!"

Madison, unwilling to lose momentum, gave a decisive command. Squirtle's head began to glow as it prepared the attack. With a burst of speed, it rocketed toward Charmander.

Charmander stood its ground. Instead of dodging, it charged forward, its small claws glowing as it readied a Slash attack.

BAM!

The two Pokémon collided with force, sending shockwaves through the battlefield. Charmander's Slash landed squarely on Squirtle's glowing head, while Squirtle's momentum sent both Pokémon staggering backward.

Charmander's arms were visibly numb from the impact, while Squirtle wobbled slightly, shaking its head to clear the dizziness.

But Charmander recovered faster. It opened its mouth, releasing a thick, choking cloud of black smoke that quickly enveloped the arena.

"Char~~!"

Charmander's Smokescreen filled the air, concealing it entirely from view.

Madison frowned. "Squirtle, be careful! Use Rapid Spin to clear the smoke!"

Squirtle, taking its trainer's command to heart, retracted into its shell and began spinning rapidly. The spinning created a strong current of air, quickly dispersing the thick Smokescreen.

However, as the smoke cleared, it became obvious that Charmander hadn't used the cover to attack. Instead, it stood at a distance, watching with amusement as Squirtle worked itself into a dizzying spin.

Madison's eyes narrowed. "What?! It just... let this happen?" She clenched her fists. This little lizard is mocking me.

Squirtle finally stopped spinning, but the effort left it disoriented and wobbly, as if it had overexerted itself. It staggered unsteadily on its feet.

Charmander took full advantage. Its laughter quickly turned into a fierce battle cry as it launched its next attack.

"Flamethrower!"

A massive torrent of flames roared out of Charmander's mouth, surging directly toward Squirtle. Madison reacted quickly.

"Dodge it!" she shouted.

But Squirtle, still dizzy from Rapid Spin, couldn't react in time. The flames engulfed it completely.

A pained cry echoed from within the blaze as Squirtle was hit head-on by the fiery assault. The heat snapped Squirtle out of its disorientation, but it was too late. The damage had been done.

When the flames subsided, Squirtle stood shakily for a moment before collapsing. It had been defeated.

Charmander stood triumphant, its flame tail burning brightly, a cheeky grin on its face as it stared down its fallen foe.
