Returning Charmeleon to his PokeBall, Austin couldn't help but sigh.

Even after throwing all of that at Garchomp, she still stood up.

Could he even defeat Garchomp?

Austin looked at the sand beach while contemplating if he should give up or not.

" Pika "

Hearing Pikachu's cry, Austin glanced to his shoulder as Pikachu gave him a determined look.

What was the reason they trained like hell under Cynthia?

Was it to lose?

Was it to just give up?

Pikachu's look made Austin's mind filled with a lot of thoughts as doubt vanished from his eyes.

Taking out a PokeBall that was shaking violently. Austin didn't even need to choose.

Throwing the Pokeball out, Fearow appeared on the battlefield with a prideful screech.

Garchomp snorted at Fearow's screech as she stomped on the beach and released a roar that silence the entire beach.

Austin's sweat dropped at Garchomp's way of asserting dominance.

" Aerial Wing !"

" Garchomp stance 1."

Cynthia calmly said causing Garchomp to lay on the ground on her stop like a crocodile waiting for its prey to come near it.

" Dodge !"

Hearing his trainer's words, Fearow snorted but ultimately obliged by turning towards the sky.

A blueish flame washed over Garchomp's body as the Will-o'-wisp Burn was eating away at her health but suddenly the flames seemed to decrease more and more.

This was stance 1, a move that made everyone believe that that Garchomp is waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack but in actuality, Garchomp was hiding this facade that she was going to attack while she healed herself with Rest.

Pikachu's eyes narrowed before he pointed forward and exclaimed," Pika, Pika !"

Austin glanced at Pikachu before his eyes widened when he saw Garchomp's burns being healed.

" Feather Dance !"

Fearow spreads its wings and both of them glow white. He then shoots glowing white feathers at Garchomp.

Each feather hit Garchomp's body as a white aura radiated from Garchomp for a second indicating the Fearow's Feather Dance had lower Garchomp's attack power.

Garchomps' eyes opened as she rose. Outstretching her fins, Garchomp roared before slamming her fins on the beach erupting a sandstorm all around the beach but the surrounding sandstorm didn't affect Fearow's vision.

" Substituting Flash Clones !"

Hundreds of Fearows appeared in the sky as if it was a flock before each copy of Fearow disappeared from the sky charging into the sandstorm.

Inside the sandstorm, Garchomp silently stood in one place as she waited for her prey to attack her.

Suddenly she found herself surrounded by hundreds of Fearow but there was not a hint of surprise on Garchomp's face as non of these Fearows was the real one.

Fearow's double team vanished the moment they touch Garchomp's body.

Garchomp closed her eyes as she focused on feeling the surrounding sandstorm.

There was something fast moving in the sandstorm.

Come!

Garchomp thought as she twisted her body and with a Dragon claw confronted a fearow's drill run.

The stalemate last only for a second before Garchomp overpowered through and caused Fearow to be slammed into the ground.

The embedded Fearow began to evaporate like a cloud of smoke.

From the back of Garchomp, the sandstorm split open revealing Fearow covered by a spiraling blue aura.

Garchomp quickly tried to twist her body to counterattack but Fearow was faster.

Fearow's sky attacked just before it landed on Garchomp's gut, a reddish aura emitted from Garchomp's eye before a giant smoke cloud covered the beach.

Austin sighed as he looked at the smoke cloud.

' Did Arceus make it so that a giant smoke cloud would appear every time a loss has to be shown?'

The dust cleared revealing a knocked-out Fearow on the ground with Garchomp standing over him in a daze.

Seeing the confused Garchomp, Austin immediately returned Fearow as he glanced at his buddy.

" Ready ."

" Pika !"

Pikachu ran along his trainer's shoulder and with a giant leap, he landed in front of the confused Garchomp.

" Fake out !"

Pikachu closed his eyes as his paws glowed with white energy.

Bringing his paws together, an omnidirectional piercing sound was released making Garchomp flinch.

" Nasty Plot !"

" Garchomp, snap out of it."

While Garchomp shook her head to get rid of her confusion, Pikachu's body was enveloped by a dark type aura and his eyes glowed red for a few seconds.

" Grass Knot !"

Pikachu slammed his paw on the ground as a wave of omnidirectional grass energy moved through the entire beach.

Garchomp was too late to dodge the Grass Knot. Even with taking the full brunt of the attack, Garchomp wasn't that damaged.

" Quick Draw !"

Austin didn't want to give Garchomp a chance to attack as Pikachu combined a quick attack with iron tail to attack Garchomp.

" Iron head ."

( ~ Boom ~ )

Garchomp's iron head and Pikachu's iron tail clashed with one another but Garchomp's bigger body was able to effortlessly handle the force behind Pikachu's attack.

" Outrage ."

" Magnet Rise !"

Cynthia and Austin called out their respective moves as Garchomp's body was engulfed by a red aura while Pikachu hurriedly used Magnet Rise to dodge but unlike many other types of trainers, Cynthia had trained Garchomp in such a way that she could direct all the releasing Draconic energy into fighting against an opponent that tries to dodge it by chasing after it.

A similar game of cat and mouse entailed a menacing Garchomp charging toward the flying Pikachu.

Pikachu tried its best to dodge every close call he had.

Meanwhile, Austin's mind was racing to think of a strategy against that monster.

An idea popped into Austin's head as he exclaimed," Flash !"

[ Omake Paragraph ]

Of the pokemon which can learn String Shot, only Caterpie produces an actual string. Weedle produces a weak fiber similar to cotton and is of use solely for the construction of textiles. Wurmple produces a smooth silky thread that is pleasant to the touch, while Spinarak and Ariados produce a powerful adhesive.

For utility, however, none of these are as valuable as Caterpie string. String can be used in archery, to make ropes, or for a thousand other things, half of them improvised in time of few other materials. Other fibers made from plants are occasionally used elsewhere, typically in places that lack trade links with Viridian City and its adjoining forest where most of Viridian's people work. The task is tough and thankless, for it requires extensive harvesting of leaves to feed the bug pokemon year-round. The string after spraying must be collected by hand, they must avoid battling them (save for the few lucky enough to afford everstones) as evolution weakens the string, and profits have never been very high.

It was from this forest that a young Caterpie farmer named Giovanni turned to gamble to supplement his income. It is said that he so hated the work that at the height of his power, Caterpie was the only local species of pokemon that he declined to obtain for his collection.
