Chapter 347: May VS Azusa (Part 2)

"Meg, use Flamethrower!"

"Aron, use Rock Slide."

Aron slammed its hard head against the ground, and a massive rock appeared in front of it, blocking the flames spewed by Slugma.

"Aron, next use Stealth Rock!"

Under the cover of the giant rock, Aron suspended a large number of rocks around the field, and these rocks vanished once they floated into mid-air.

Stealth Rock would not cause damage to the opponent currently on the field, but once a Pokémon was switched out, the incoming Pokémon would trigger the Stealth Rock.

"Has May calculated that she can easily Take Down Slugma?" Brock said. "She’s in such a rush to set a trap for Miss Azusa’s third Pokémon."

Ash smiled. "Maybe. After all, May has the advantage on the field; it just depends on whether Miss Azusa has a strategy to break the stalemate."

He knew that with Aron’s use of Stealth Rock, the outcome of this match had already been decided.

Mura, acting as the referee, saw May’s choice and couldn’t help but turn his head to look at his granddaughter, thinking to himself, "Azusa, you must stay calm!"

As the person directly involved, Azusa saw May digging a pit for her third Pokémon, and her brain raced to think of a way to break the deadlock.

After racking her brain to no avail, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed. "Meg, use Yawn!"

Slugma yawned, generating a pink bubble. After the bubble hit Aron, it didn’t last a few seconds before Aron fell asleep.

Seeing that the move was effective, Azusa intended to press the advantage. "Very good, Meg, use Flamethrower while you have the chance!"

However, May did not sit idly by and shouted, "Aron, use Sleep Talk!"

Aron’s eyes were tightly shut, and its whole body began to twist and spin. Just as Slugma’s Flamethrower arrived, Aron was enveloped in a layer of Sandstorm.

As the speed of Aron’s body rotation increased, the protection provided by the Sandstorm became stronger, and the flames couldn’t burn through the Sandstorm defense in such a short time.

Seeing this result, May let out a long sigh of relief; she had almost slipped up.

"Aron, it’s time to get up, wake up quickly!"

"Aron..."

While the Sandstorm effect was still active, May shouted anxiously.

After calling out a few times with no effect, May had no choice but to recall Aron.

"Combusken, take the stage."

"Combusken!"

Finally able to enter the battle, Combusken’s fighting spirit ignited.

"Combusken, huh? Meg, use Flamethrower!" Azusa said.

"Combusken, dodge it and then use Double Kick."

A few seconds before Slugma’s flames were about to hit it, Combusken leaped lightly to dodge, then aimed at Slugma and kicked out.

The two swift kicks sent Slugma flying two or three meters, but Slugma did not lose the ability to battle because of this.

"Combusken, use Quick Attack!"

Watching Combusken close in on Slugma, Azusa hurriedly shouted, "Meg, use Smokescreen quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Slugma immediately spewed a cloud of thick smoke to obscure its figure. After Combusken rushed into the thick smoke, it lost sight of Slugma.

"Combusken, calm down and use Detect to find Slugma!" May reminded.

Combusken held its breath, focusing its spirit highly, and scanned back and forth through the mist for any movement.

Soon, Combusken spotted Slugma’s figure. "Combusken!"

May said, "Good, use Flame Charge to finish it!"

Combusken wrapped itself in flames and lunged at Slugma.

"Meg, dodge quickly!"

Azusa’s reaction was fast, but Combusken’s speed was greater than Slugma’s. Just as Slugma started to jump, Combusken knocked it flying.

"Slugma is unable to battle, Combusken wins!" Mura announced.

"Meg, you did very well, rest up now."

Azusa recalled Slugma. "Alright, it’s your turn, Torkoal!"

[Pokémon: Torkoal] [Type: Fire] [Gender: Male] [Level: Gym Intermediate] [Ability: Shell Armor (Protected by a hard shell, the opponent’s attacks will not land a critical hit)] [Potential: Elite] [Moves: Ember, Withdraw, Flamethrower, Lava Plume...]

As soon as Torkoal entered the field, it was hit squarely by the Stealth Rock.

Azusa asked anxiously, "Torkoal, are you alright?"

Torkoal was quite tough; it shook its head and puffed out black smoke, indicating that it was not a big problem.

"So the last one really is Torkoal? Alright, Combusken, use Brick Break!"

"Torkoal, use Iron Defense!"

Facing Combusken’s raised right hand, Torkoal withdrew into its shell to activate Iron Defense. Its defense increased instantly, and the damage caused by Combusken’s Brick Break was not fatal.

"Torkoal, use Flamethrower."

Torkoal extended its head and spewed a stunning stream of flames at the nearby Combusken.

"Combusken, dodge quickly!"

Combusken’s reaction was quite swift; it used its legs to leap into mid-air to avoid the damage.

However, Torkoal’s Flamethrower had a wide range, and Combusken’s right leg was still grazed by the flames. Fortunately, it had high resistance to Fire-type moves, so this minor injury only affected its speed and the damage was not significant.

"Combusken, use Body Slam."

"Torkoal, use Iron Defense!"

Combusken jumped onto Torkoal’s shell, but that bit of damage had no real effect in the face of Torkoal’s Iron Defense.

May felt very surprised. "Is that useless too?"

"Torkoal, use Lava Plume!"

Torkoal gathered all its Fire-type energy and released raging flames to attack the surroundings.

Caught off guard, Combusken suffered another heavy blow.

"Return, Combusken!"

May switched Pokémon again. "Aron, I’m counting on you one more time!"

However, Aron remained in a sleeping state even after coming out of the Poké Ball.

"Good chance, Torkoal, use Flamethrower!"

"Aron, wake up quickly!"

Torkoal’s flames engulfed Aron, and within a few seconds, Aron was scorched awake by the intense heat.

Seeing Aron wake up, May could only hope that Aron could withstand this attack.

Until Torkoal’s Flamethrower ended, Aron actually did not fall.

May shouted, "Very good, Aron, use Take Down to counterattack!"

Aron charged at Torkoal with astonishing momentum.

Azusa did not pay much attention to this ordinary attack. "Torkoal, use Iron Defense!"

Just as Aron was about to collide with Torkoal, May commanded again, "Aron, Tackle Torkoal’s side!"

"What?" Azusa was shocked.

The next second, Aron slammed hard into Torkoal’s side. Under the Impact of the collision, Torkoal turned into a spinning top.

It didn’t spin for long before Torkoal couldn’t take it anymore, and its limbs and head all extended from its shell.

"Very good, Aron, use Iron Head now!"

Aron took a step and charged at Torkoal again.

Boom!

Torkoal was hit on the shell of its abdomen, and the whole turtle was flipped over.

"Ah, Torkoal!" Azusa was shocked.

The dust settled, and the outcome of the match was decided.

"Torkoal is unable to battle, Aron wins, so the winner is May from Petalburg City!"

As soon as Mura’s words fell, Aron began to glow with the light of evolution.

"It’s evolving? Awesome!"

The double joy made May overjoyed.

Subsequently, Azusa handed the Heat Badge of Lavaridge Gym to May.

And after this match, it was time for the battle between Ash and Mura.
