Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Trovita Gym, Vs Rudy!
Rudy is a very strong Trainer, whose strength far exceeds that of normal Gym Trainers. Only Trainers like Blaine can match him. Normal Trainers can never beat him.
So Trainers who can beat Rudy are not weak.
"Ash, do you remember?" Gary said.
"Ash...!" Rudy was stunned and immediately thought of the Trainer who challenged him half a month ago because Ash came in a team of three, and people remember him very clearly.
To be honest, Rudy was not convinced by being defeated by Ash. If Squirtle had not realized the Hydro Pump skill at the critical moment, Rudy would not have lost.
"Then let's fight, and let you see my true strength," Rudy said.
"Okay, how do we fight?" Gary asked.
"3 to 3 round-based competition, tell me the three Pokémon types you want to use, and I will use Pokémon with the same type to participate in the battle, and two out of three games will be won," Rudy said.
"Okay, then use Pokémon with Normal, Water, and Fire types to fight," Gary said.
"No problem."
Rudy nodded and then said to Marina, "Miss Marina, please come and witness this game."
"Ah...Okay," Marina nodded slightly. She came to Trovita Island to find powerful Water Pokémon and then met Rudy on the way. Rudy brought her to visit the gym. Unexpectedly, she encountered so many things in a row.
Everyone came to a huge venue behind the gym.
The battle venue of Trovita Gym is not in the gym but on a small island behind it. The island is about the size of four basketball courts.
Because Rudy has many Pokémon in his hands, plus the special challenge rules, the indoor venue is limited, so he chose an open area as the battle venue.
"As the Southern Star of the Cross, I will let you know my strength. First, the Normal Pokémon will fight," Rudy said.
"Eevee, you go to the battle," Gary said.
"Eevee!"
The Eevee beside Gary immediately rushed into the field.
"Eevee...!" Rudy was somewhat confused when he saw that it was Eevee, but he thought of Ash who had challenged him before, and he used Pikachu to fight, so he must not underestimate this Eevee.
"Pidgeot, it's up to you!" Rudy threw the Poké Ball.
Great!
- [LV47 Pidgeot/Quasi-Elite]
Rudy's first Pokémon is Pidgeot, which has both Normal and Flying types and is also considered a Normal-type Pokémon.
"Let me tell you first, if you fall into the sea from the venue, it will be considered a defeat," Rudy reminded.
Gary looked at the sea around him, which was dozens of meters high. If you fall from this height, you will definitely get hurt, even the Elite-level Pokémon can't stand it.
"Got it, can we start?" Gary asked.
"Please." Rudy made a gesture of invitation; he had to impress Marina to win her heart.
"Eevee, use Swift," Gary ordered.
"Eevee!"
Eevee shook its tapered tail, and golden stars formed by energy flew quickly towards the sky.
"Use Wing Attack to smash all Swifts!" Rudy ordered.
"Pidgeot!"
Pidgeot's wings were surrounded by white wind power, and it waved its wings to smash all the Swifts that flew up. Then, Pidgeot used Quick Attack to rush towards Eevee, and Eevee also used Quick Attack.
Bang!
The two sides collided with each other. Unfortunately, Eevee was too small, and Eevee was pushed up into the sky. Pidgeot rose rapidly and hit the falling Eevee.
Rudy was relieved when he saw that Eevee's power was not very strong, but a surprise also came with it.
"Eevee, use Thunderbolt!" Gary ordered.
"What! Rush up quickly!" Seeing the sparks on Eevee, Rudy shouted hurriedly.
"Eevee!"
But it was still a step too late. Eevee used Thunderbolt, and the golden thunder hit Pidgeot. The strong paralysis made it unable to move and fall to the ground. "Swift!"
Eevee used Swift again, and Swift quickly chased Pidgeot and kept falling on Pidgeot.
Bang!!
Pidgeot fell to the ground, its eyes spinning.
"Pidgeot lost its ability to fight, Eevee wins!" the referee ordered.
"What! Eevee can use Thunderbolt!" Marina, who was watching from a distance, said in surprise.
"Is there anything wrong with Eevee knowing Thunderbolt?" Marie didn't know much about Pokémon knowledge and didn't think there was anything wrong with Eevee knowing Thunderbolt.
"Eevee is a Normal Pokémon. It's hard to master other type skills without evolution," Marina said.
"Then why did Gary's Eevee know Thunderbolt?"
"I don't know this either, let's continue the game."
Marina didn't know what was going on, so she just watched the game carefully.
"Eevee!"
After winning, Eevee ran back to Gary, with an expression that he was about to praise me.
"Not bad, not bad, you played very well." Gary also squatted down and touched Eevee's little head.
Marina and Marie, who were watching the game from a distance, looked at Gary who was touching Eevee and showed envy in their eyes. They also wanted to be touched on the head.
Rudy saw the eyes of the two girls and felt very dissatisfied in his heart. The eyes should be directed at him.
"Rudy, the gym leader, it seems that I won this gym battle," Gary said.
"That's not necessarily the case. The next game is a Water Pokémon duel. Send out your Pokémon," Rudy urged.
Gary didn't say much and threw a Poké Ball.
Great!
"Blastoise!"
Blastoise appeared.
Gary's meaning was very clear, that is, to win the game directly in the second round. If you win two games in a row, you don't have to start the third round.
"Starmie, go and beat him," Rudy threw the Poké Ball.
Great!
- [LV50 Starmie/Quasi-Elite]
The second Pokémon Rudy sent out was of some standard, and the third Pokémon would probably be of a higher level, but unfortunately... there was no chance.
"Blastoise, use Shell Smash!" Gary said.
"Blastoise!"
Blastoise's body was covered with red energy crystals. As the crystals exploded, Shell Smash was successfully used, sacrificing both defenses, greatly improving attack and speed.
"Don't even think about attacking, use Thunderbolt!" Rudy ordered immediately.
Starmie's gem shot out a lightning bolt, and it was about to hit Blastoise, but was blocked by a green Barrier.
"What! Protect!" Rudy was shocked.
"Wave Charge!"
"Blastoise!"
At the sound, Blastoise was covered with water and rushed towards Starmie at a very fast speed. Starmie had no time to dodge and was hit head-on.
Bang!!!
Starmie was knocked out of the arena and hit the rock wall in the distance. The gem in the middle of its body kept flashing red light.
