175. Fuchsia City Gym Challenge: Axew vs. Mormoth! (Please subscribe to the full series!)
"..."
Red ran his finger over the Poké Balls on the Pokémon Belt, finally stopping on one with a dragon claw pattern, and removed it.
With a gentle tap on the central button, the Poké Ball instantly expands to the size of a palm, then opens, releasing a beam of white light!
"Ax~Tooth!!!"
Emerging from the white light, the Axe-toothed Dragon roared to the sky, its roars echoing throughout the arena and igniting a fierce fighting spirit!
"Is this a Pokémon I've never seen before?"
Upon seeing the Axew-toothed Dragon appear, Ah-Xing, who wasn't very familiar with regions outside of Kanto and Johto, voiced a question.
"This is a Pokémon from the Unova region, Axew, Ah-Xing, it's a Dragon-type."
Touko, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, saw the Axe-Fang Dragon appear. Looking at its surging fighting spirit, her eyes lit up. She introduced the Axe-Fang Dragon to the puzzled A-Xing.
"I see, it's the Axew from the Unova region..."
Upon hearing this, Ah Xing nodded in understanding and curiously looked at the Pokémon on the field, a Falcon Fang Dragon, which she had never seen before!
"The Dragon-type Axew..."
At the same time, Aju murmured softly. With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that this Axefang Dragon was no weaker than his Mormoth.
Even stronger, approaching the level of a near-Heavenly King!
What a terrifying little guy!
A Pokémon with such strength at such a young age—you know, the reason why A-Ju is a candidate for Elite Four is because most of his main Pokémon are stuck at the near-Elite Four level.
It took him countless years to reach the Quasi-Heavenly King level, and even now, many of his main players are still stuck at the Quasi-Heavenly King level.
And now, this little guy, who seems to be just a rookie trainer who has only been traveling for a few months, has already easily caught up with what he has achieved in most of his life.
What a monster!
...
...
After A-Ju finished expressing her amazement, the gym challenge officially began!
"The first match, between the Axewong and the Mormoth, shall begin!"
"Rock Blockade!"
As Ah Xing announced the start of the battle, the challenger attacked first, and Crimson gave the order to the Axew without hesitation.
A-Ju, who is skilled in poison, is best at using poison to constantly weaken the opponent's health. The best way to counter this style of play is to finish the battle quickly!
"Ax~Tooth!!!"
With a roar, the Axefang Dragon used the rock energy within its body to float dozens of rocks into the air, which were then orderly smashed towards the Mormoth!
Rock-type Rock Tomb is super effective against Bug-type Moro, and its guaranteed slow effect means that once Moro is hit, the battle is over.
"Strong mental thoughts!"
A-Ju also understood this principle, and without hesitation, she went all out, letting Moro use the powerful Psychic-type move, Psychic!
"Ru~ Ugh~~!!!"
The Moru moth's wings trembled, and a surge of powerful super-energy surged within its body, covering its eyes with a pale purple glow.
Followed by.
The powerful telekinetic energy was released, stopping all the rocks attacking from the front and freezing them in place!
then.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
With a flash of bright light, all the rocks fell to the ground, losing their momentum to strike the Moro moth.
But that's about it.
"Dragon Claw!"
The crimson command was issued at that very moment!
"Ax~Tooth!!!"
The figure of the Axew-toothed Dragon flashed out from the rock, and strong dragon-type energy gathered on its claws. With a dragon claw attack, it fiercely grabbed at the Mormoth!
"Moro moth, quick! Take off and get out of the way!"
Aju reacted quickly, issuing the command to Mormoth almost the instant the Axew attacked.
"Rumble...!"
Moro immediately flapped its insect wings, preparing to fly into the air to avoid the attack of the Axe-toothed Dragon.
But it was too late!
Sizzle!
A tearing sound rang out, and the Moru Moth successfully flew into the air, but its abdomen was still scratched by the claws of the Axe-toothed Dragon!
"Use paralyzing powder!"
Although the Moromoth was still injured, it had successfully flown into the air, which could be used to weaken the Axew. So Aju immediately gave the order.
"Ru~woo~~!"
The Moru Moth flapped its wings, and countless yellowish-brown powders floated out, falling from the air and slowly drifting towards the Axe-toothed Dragon!
If the attack hits, it will paralyze the Axew, allowing you to consume it almost without any cost.
"Dragon Dance, Water Flows to the Tail!"
Seeing the Moro Moth drifting towards the Axe-toothed Dragon, Crimson was prepared and immediately gave the Axe-toothed Dragon a command.
"Ax~Tooth!!!"
The Axew immediately swayed its body and began a mysterious dance, while streams of water swirled around its tail, forming a long, flowing tail.
This flowing tail, accompanied by a mysterious dance, slaps outwards from the center of the Axew!
Countless paralyzing powders couldn't get close to the Axew-toothed Dragon at all; once they did, they would be directly scattered by its water tail!
The scattered scales, once wet, seemed to lose their luster and paralyzing effect, as if they had lost their spirit.
It turned into ordinary insect powder!
"What?"
This scene startled Ah Ju.
His tactics not only failed, but also allowed the opponent to take advantage of the situation and begin...
Doragon is dead!!!
The water flow disappeared, and all the insect powder was stuck together by the water and fell to the ground, thus ending the mysterious dance.
The Axew's attack and speed have both increased by one level!
"Dragon Claw!"
After successfully completing a Dragon Swing Death and gaining a boost, Crimson immediately caught up with it. In the instant that Aki and Moro were stunned, they gave the order.
"Ax~Tooth!!!"
The Axew-toothed Dragon lunged out, its speed enhanced, making it even faster, and in an instant it arrived in front of the Mormoth!
It leaped up, raised its dragon claw, which was covered in dragon energy and formed from condensed energy, and slashed fiercely at the Morumoth!
boom!
Facing a Dragon Fang Dragon whose attack power is already high and has been boosted by one level, a single STAB Dragon Claw attack.
The fragile Moro moth couldn't withstand the impact and instead crashed to the ground, its eyes spinning in circles.
Lost the ability to fight!
"Moromoth is incapacitated. The winner of this round is Axewalosaurus!!!"

176. Proof of Strength, A Dazzling White Light! (Please Subscribe!)
"Father, please send out a second Pokémon!"
Seeing that A-Ju had put the Moro moth away, A-Xing, who was acting as the temporary referee, immediately waved her hand and announced.
At the same time, he was secretly shocked that the crimson strength was able to defeat his father's Moth so easily.
Although Moro was not one of Father's main forces, she was still a member of the second tier, but now she was easily defeated by Crimson, who was about the same age as her!
"..."
Aju put away the Poké Ball that had been used to recall Mothora, looking at Crimson with a strange expression, her heart filled with surprise.
Although he only bred the Moro moth in recent years, its aptitude is very good. It quickly reached the mid-senior level and is still steadily improving.
In the future, it might even become one of the main forces for him to advance to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings, but now it was easily defeated by the opponent's Axew.
Moreover, this Axew-toothed Dragon was already at the peak of its senior level, almost reaching the level of a near-Elite Four member, and now it has been enhanced by Dragon Dance.
This is getting a little tricky!
In that case.
"Go, Arbok!"
After a moment's thought, A-Ju realized that he didn't have many main Pokémon with him and didn't have many good options, so he chose a Poké Ball and threw it out.
"Cha-bo!!!"
A flash of white light appeared, and a purple cobra covered in fine black stripes appeared in the arena.
This is a household name in the Kanto region and even around the world: Arbok, the snake-like Pokémon!
It, along with the still-evolved Ekans, consistently ranks high on the list of most dangerous creatures in the wild!
