"Tyranitar—!!"
The sandstorm rolled in, and Natsume, unusually serious, opened his System Pokédex.
[Tyranitar, Dark+Rock
Item: Assault Vest
Ability: Sand Stream
Moves: Crunch, Ice Punch, Stone Edge, Earthquake…]
Despite its numerous weaknesses, the 'Assault Vest' could somewhat mitigate these disadvantages.
Coupled with its wide range of offensive moves, this was undoubtedly a formidable opponent!
"I need to command carefully," Natsume thought.
Amidst the swirling sand, Tyranitar, clad in its sturdy armor, bared its menacing fangs.
"Tyranitar—!!"
The viewers, overwhelmed by its imposing presence, held their breath.
Growlithe, baring its teeth, didn't retreat but instead let out a fierce roar.
"Growlithe~~~!"
This level of intimidation was nothing compared to Sylveon sister!
"Not only did it instantly defeat Scizor, but it also Intimidated the Attack Stat powerhouse Tyranitar."
The commentator marveled, "Natsume Contestant's strategic prowess is clearly on display!"
"So that's how it is!"
"As expected of Natsume-sensei!"
Natsume was momentarily stunned.
You might not believe this.
But this Growlithe was just brought along this morning to fill the team!
"Come on, send out your Sylveon!"
Haruki nodded, "Let's have an exhilarating battle!"
Natsume nodded, recalling Growlithe and sending out Gengar.
"???"
"Are you the Master of Reverse Type?!"
"Holy crap, Ghost type against Dark type?"
The commentator, who had just praised Natsume-sensei, was now utterly confused.
The Backpacker Uncle was momentarily stunned but quickly seized the opportunity, shouting, "Tyranitar, use Crunch!"
"Double Team," Natsume commanded.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Double Team clones filled the entire arena, and even the swirling sand couldn't disperse them.
Crunch tore through one of the clones, its terrifying bite force sending shivers down the audience's spines.
Tyranitar, enraged, scanned the area with bloodshot eyes.
"Double Team… but it can't dodge forever!"
"If it hits, it's straight to the emergency room!"
"Earthquake!" Haruki roared.
The viewers' expressions changed.
A deafening rumble shook the entire arena.
Tyranitar bulldozed the ground, sending shockwaves in all directions, instantly clearing the clones!
"Levitate up," Natsume commanded. "Use Energy Ball!"
At the last moment, using Psychic, Gengar floated into the air.
The sandstorm intensified.
The clones around the arena were gone, leaving only one Gengar, floating mid-air with a sinister grin.
In its hand, a vibrant green Energy Ball glowed with life.
Gengar… actually had a Grass type move?
Haruki's heart skipped a beat, urgently shouting, "Tyranitar, Protect!"
Tyranitar crossed its arms, and a green barrier rose.
The Energy Ball exploded against the barrier.
Boom!!
A powerful shockwave spread out, clearing the sandstorm.
The clouds parted, revealing the sun.
The Protect barrier shattered.
"Bite!" Haruki roared.
The ground shook as Tyranitar charged at Gengar with thunderous steps, roaring in fury.
But clearly, Gengar was faster!
"Again, Energy Ball!"
The shockwave surged.
The Energy Ball struck Tyranitar square in the face, eliciting a painful howl.
"Tyranitar, weak to Grass, took massive damage!" the commentator shouted.
In the next moment, Gengar leaped up, and clones once again filled the arena.
Each Gengar held a small glowing orb in its hand.
With a sinister grin, they clenched the orbs and flew towards the roaring Tyranitar.
"Gengar~~"
Boom, boom, boom!
Energy Balls exploded one after another, engulfing the arena in shockwaves.
Haruki instinctively swallowed hard.
Everyone sat up straight, their eyes wide with astonishment.
Whoosh!
The shockwaves dissipated.
Tyranitar knelt in a massive crater, its head bowed, injuries severe.
"Is it… still able to battle?"
"This is… another instant KO!"
Gengar approached Tyranitar.
It extended a small fist, pressing it against Tyranitar's abdomen.
A gentle 'Shadow Punch' sent Tyranitar crashing to the ground.
Thud!!
Dust swirled.
In the silent arena.
Haruki glanced at Natsume, mixed emotions swirling within him.
To unleash so many Energy Balls in succession, along with a wide-range Double Team…
Just what level of breeding was this?
"This is just insane…" Haruki muttered.
"Did… did he win?"
"A Reverse Type battle, and he still won?!"
Cheers erupted like a tidal wave.
Defeating Tyranitar with a Reverse Type, and in almost perfect condition.
Both Gengar's incredible speed and Natsume-sensei's commanding skills left a deep impression on the viewers.
And this final battle…
An unbelievable thought arose in everyone's minds.
Winning without losing a single point, a clean sweep in the league tournament?
That's just crazy!
But if it's Natsume-sensei.
This is just standard procedure!
"3:0!"
"3:0!"
The chants rose in unison.
The atmosphere reached its peak, yet Natsume-sensei remained calm.
"Don't get cocky, they might still make a comeback…"
Natsume cautiously watched Haruki.
He pulled out his last Poké Ball.
Soaring through the sky, the Toxic Gliscor, with its incredible staying power.
[Gliscor, Poison+Ground
Item: Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Moves: Substitute, Protect, Poison Jab, Night Slash, Toxic…]
Natsume smiled.
He suddenly understood why Haruki looked so grim when sending out his third Pokémon.
SubProtect Toxic!
A strategy Natsume knew all too well!
Haruki, with the composure of a veteran, took a deep breath and commanded, "Gliscor, Night Slash!"
Gliscor snapped its menacing pincers and, using its gliding wings, charged at Gengar.
As their bodies crossed, Gengar's Protect activated!
Crack!
Gliscor's pincers tore through the barrier.
At the same time, Natsume commanded, "Skill Swap!"
Haruki's expression changed.
Gengar's eyes flickered with a blue light, and under Psychic's restraint, Gliscor's movement halted.
Then, a purple toxin slowly crept over Gliscor's body.
"After Skill Swap, Gliscor lost its Poison Heal Ability."
The commentator noted, "Gliscor is now Poisoned!"
The audience stands buzzed with discussion.
"Are you worthy of Poison Heal?!"
"What kind of nonsensical moveset is this?!"
The cautious Natsume-sensei had Gengar alternate between 'Substitute' and 'Protect.'
Meanwhile, Gliscor, under the toxin's erosion, gradually lost HP.
This classic scene had fans crying foul.
"Even at the last moment, he remains calm, unaffected by the audience."
On the guest panel, Kazama nodded, "This is the professionalism of a true Trainer."
President Shoya was momentarily stunned.
From what I know of this guy…
He's just plain dirty!
Gliscor, tormented by the toxin, fell from the sky.
Even Haruki couldn't help but sigh.
Gengar formed a dark Shadow Ball and casually tossed it.
"Gengar~"
Boom!!
The shockwave surged, and Gliscor, its body charred, was sent flying like a broken kite.
The viewers collectively swallowed hard.
Stalling till the end, and still remembering to finish the job.
Truly, this is Natsume-sensei's battle style!
In the silent arena.
The referee blew the whistle.
"Winner, Natsume Contestant!"
After a moment of silence.
The arena erupted.
