36: Second Battle (2)

Even was red.

Red of anger! She quickly looked at her Cloyster and shouted: "Cloyster! Let's go all out! Use [Rain Dance]!" Cloyster once again gathered some amount of water energy from its body and sending it to the sky, causing the clouds to turn grey while the rain started to fall. "Cloyster, use [Hail]!" Cloyster this time gathered Ice energy from its body, sending it to the sky and causing it to fall ice instead of water. Even made Cloyster used [Rain Dance] before using [Hail] because it would increase the amount of hail falling from the sky, increasing the damage that it would possibly cause. "Cloyster, use [Blizzard]!" Cloyster chuckled as he used a lot of Ice energy to send a beam of snow and wind towards the sleeping Aerodactyl who heard his trainer's voice saying: "Aerodactyl, permission to retaliate granted."

In that instant, everything changed. The atmosphere became tense and Even felt fear as she looked at the giant Aerodactyl rising from its slumber. "Never wake a sleeping dragon," Azes commented as he remembered Hufflepuff's phrase. His Aerodactyl flapped its wings, and in seconds he was flying above the clouds of hail, opening its mouth and releasing a huge [Flamethrower] towards the clouds and making them simply disappear, Aerodactyl landed, looking at the Cloyster. "Roooaaar!" Aerodactyl roared and everything that was made of glass exploded, completely into shards. The flying behemoth opened its mouth again, but this time a powerful white blast was released upon the poor Cloyster, the beam hit the poor Pokemon and it was defeated instantly. Azes just shook his head, in denial, and said: "I thought you would be stronger than that. Aerodactyl, destroy every single Pokemon she sends to battle."

Aerodactyl raised his wings, and quietly lied down on the ground, waiting patiently for the next Pokemon to be released. Even looked at her hand, sighed, and threw her next Pokemon: Lapras. Her Lapras was completely different from Azes' Lapras, it was a purple Lapras, a shiny Lapras... Azes internally compared her Lapras to grapes as Even commanded her Lapras, saying: "Lapras, use [Sheer Cold]!" Azes observed as her Lapras compressed almost all of its ice energy on its horn, compressing it, and then releasing it into a circular wave of pure ice-cold energy that dispersed while going forward. Aerodactyl completely ignored this attack, he felt the ice energy trying to enter his body, but his energy completely stopped this energy from entering his body and the attack failed. Even suddenly felt something bad was going to happen, she then shouted: "I forfeit!" Azes snapped his fingers and the [Fire Blast] that Aerodactyl was going to send towards the poor Lapras dissipated.

Azes smiled as his Aerodactyl seemed disappointed. He mentally called it, the Aerodactyl landed on his feet and acted like a cat wanting to be touched by its owner. Lazily lying on the ground and growling low, Azes smiled and started to scratch the black skin of his Aerodactyl, who was enjoying it when Azes made it return to the Pokeball and left the arena while the crowd released a breath they didn't know they were holding and gasped for air. There were no shouts of excitement because only fear and astonishment were left in the arena after Azes left. First, it was his beautiful Lapras, next it was his powerful Aerodactyl... What's next? The scary thought was another Pokemon like the Aerodactyl and the comforting thought was another Pokemon like his Lapras.

Well, only tomorrow they would know and only if Azes uses a different Pokemon because tomorrow is a duo battle. Two vs Two, Azes may use his Lapras and Aerodactyl or two completely new Pokemons they do not know about... Unlike the scared crowd, Ash Ketchum was excited! He was impressed with Azes' Pokemons, and with Azes himself. A strong Pokemon won't listen to a weak human unless the human is also strong or stronger than the Pokemon, only then the Pokemon will fully obey the human that is its trainer. So if this giant Aerodactyl obeys Azes, it means that Azes is strong. Brock seemed to read Ash's thoughts and said: "I think it exactly as you think, Ash. This... Azes... Is strong. Stronger than any trainer I've ever seen before. I think he will win this league, he is way out of your league."

Ash was a little shocked by Brock's evaluation, but Misty also nodded her head, saying: "I also think he is out of your league. He will win this league, and if you stay in his way, he will defeat your Pokemons, or worse, scare them for life." Ash became a little preoccupied but as a Shounen idiot protagonist he is, he wanted to battle against Azes more than ever! Azes sneezed as he was in his hotel room playing with Mew and Celebi, he thought that someone must be talking about him because he is hot and powerful! Who wouldn't be talking about him?? Azes also watches Jessie and James's match, both won their match and continued, they would be fighting against each other on the two vs two battle tomorrow. Azes silently evaluated them, they were good at training their Pokemon and doing anything else, the only thing they are bad at is stealing things.

Jessie's team is composed of Arbok, Lickitung, Chansey, Jynx, Scyther, and Seaking.

While James's team is composed of Weezing, Arcanine, Victreebel, Gyarados, Pidgeot, and Muk.

Azes is interested in how well they would do when forced to fight against each other. Would one of them win? Probably not, both of them would probably forfeit after fighting for a long time, being the first two opponents to forfeit at the same time. Well, at least Azes thinks so. Looking at the clock, Azes sighed and went to bed, he didn't have anything else to do today, why not sleep until tomorrow? It's a good idea.
