140 Chapter 140

That Hydreigon, is a fucking monster.

I stared down at the pokeball in my palm, containing the pokemon who'd just faced off against Lance's Hydreigon and been completely overpowered. In the grand scheme of things, Charizard had only been able to put up a token resistance and never even landed a single attack.

Yet I couldn't have been prouder. Charizard might not have been able to do anything to Hydreigon in the end, but my boy smashed through attack after attack of that monstrous beasts, and even held his own briefly in a full of clash of attacks and completely exceeded my expectations.

Nobody in their right minds, could call Charizard weak. I hope that scrub loser Cross was watching and see's the amazing pokemon he gave up because he is simply too much of a loser ass scrub beta soy boy bitch to have drawn out even a fraction of my beastly Charizard's potential.

"Amazing work mate." I praised the pokemon within the pokeball quietly, before placing his pokemon on my belt, and grabbing the very first pokeball atop said belt after to replace it.

Time to go for broke.

How do we beat this monster? I have no earthly fucking idea. Pidgeot has no good attacks for this thing, beyond maybe turning its own dragon type attacks against it with Mirror Move.

That isn't even getting into the craziest thing about this Hydreigon. Each of its three separate heads, is capable of using attacks. Stacking three of the same attack at once for one gargantuan overpowered version, or using different attacks.

Fucking hell I wouldn't be surprised if one head can use Rest to heal up while the other two stay awake, and at the same time have them buff with moves like Dragon Dance or Nasty Plot, while the last protects it with barrier attacks like Protect and such.

I wonder, is that kind of thing possible for other pokemon with multiple heads? Like Dodrio…or Exeggutor perhaps?

Exeggutor might not have the kind of move pool to draw from a Hydreigon has, but it still isn't too shabby. I could have one throw up a Sunny Day while having Chlorophyll as an ability to enhance its speed, one head to teleport and protect, another to heal and buff with sun enhanced synthesis and shit and then have the last firing off instant solarbeams and more.

'Thoughts for later.' I shook my head, turning my attention to the battlefield, my eyes glancing at the absolutely huge Hydreigon that was easily twice the size of what was listed in the pokedex I'd grown up with, then over to Lance who was waiting for me, a massive grin on his face.

He was actually enjoying this battle, huh?

Well, far be it from me to let him down then, right? Besides, this battle isn't at all about winning. Don't get me wrong, the fact we managed to take down his weakest Dragonite is incredible, beyond words.

But in the end, this is all about showing my and my pokemons worth here and now.

And who better to do that, than the biggest try hard of them all?

"Let's go, Pidgeot!" I shouted, pressing the button in the middle of the pokeball held within my palm and releasing my starter pokemon from within.

In a bright flash of light, Pidgeot burst onto the field and spread his massive wings out wide and proud, "GEEEOOOT!" he barked loudly straight at the Hydreigon in challenge.

In response, the dark almost glowing trio of eyes belonging to the Hydreigon lit up with an almost palpable excitement and the huge three headed dragon unleashed a trio of deafening, heart shaking roars right back.

Six dark draconian eyes glared into sharp avian ones and a pressure settled over the battlefield, and made my heart thunder in my chest.

"Pidgeot, huh?" Lance in contrast barely seemed to pay it any attention, "And what a big one it is. This is your starter pokemon isn't it?"

I swallowed, pushing down and smothering the emotions Pidgeot and Hydreigon's glare off invoked in me, "That he is," I forced a smirk onto my face, "And my strongest by far."

Albeit, Pidgeot has one of the least expansive move sets amongst my pokemon. I should really work on that, huh?

"Then this should be a really good battle then!" Lance laughed, "All of your pokemon so far have gone above and beyond my expectations, so I'm expecting quite the match from your undisputed strongest!"

"Then we won't disappoint," I laughed back, which reminds me, "Pidgeot, Mirror Move!" I quickly ordered, taking advantage before he could use another attack with Hydreigon.

After all, the last attack he called for, was not Hyper Beam.

"Geot!" Pidgeot barked, flapping his wings and nodding, his eyes lighting up with a bright silver power.

And then an aura of darkness, the exact same as the one currently coating Hydreigon's body flared into existence around Pidgeot as he copied Nasty Plot and boosted his special attack power.

Of course, Pidgeot didn't actually know any attacks right now that the boost would be good for. But again, Mirror Move is key for this purpose.

"Oh, sneaky," Lance laughed, "Let's try this then shall we? Shock Wave, separate."

Hydreigon's trio of maws opened wide, crackling blue electricity buzzing into existence in each mouth before firing off in a trio of crackling massive bolts of sizzling power towards Pidgeot.

Was he testing to see if Pidgeot could cancel out electric attacks like my other pokemon he'd seen do it so far?

Alright then.

"Pidgeot, quick attack straight up!" I quickly ordered, and in a split moment, my try hard birb exploded upwards with a powerful beat of his wings, soaring high into the sky, a trail of burning white power trailing from his body, "Now rush it with Wing Attack!" I added as the trio of huge electric blue bolts swiftly changed direction and chased Pidgeot into the air.

Time to pull a Goku.

And Lance, you are the Frieza for this little roleplay game of mine.

Pidgeot shot down like a speeding bullet, so fast I could only make out a bit of a blur as he swerved down avoiding the shock wave attacks and rocketed towards Hydreigon with glowing white wings, the trio of electrical bolts quickly turning to chase him once more.

"Dragon Pulse." Lance simply countered the second Pidgeot was within point blank range.

"Spin right!" I shouted in a hurry, already prepared. After all, I didn't think for a second that Lance would be taken off guard just by something leading Shock Wave back to his pokemon.

Wing Attack was not for attacking, it was strengthening Pidgeot's wing strength for a brief moment.

Pidgeot beat both off his wings against the air with all his might and threw himself to the side, using all the momentum he'd built up with his quick attack enhanced flight speed.

At the same time he did that, all three of Hydreigon's mouths opened up, orbs of rainbow light energy forming into swirling spheres of power, before erupting into a trio of multi coloured beams that conjoined into one massive one, forming into the shape of a huge leviathanic serpentine dragon.

And missed Pidgeot completely.

But not the trio of crackling massive blue bolts of electricity that met it head on. they smashed into each other, swelling together, before erupting in a massive explosion of electrical and draconic power that washed over the Hydreigon at near point blank range.

Pidgeot unfortunately didn't escape the massive collision of attacks unscathed, the size of the explosion sweeping over his body briefly before he burst out of the side, his feathers scorched slightly.

But my number one try hard bird wouldn't go down to just that much after all.

And now is the perfect chance to take advantage of that copied Nasty Plot buff.

"Mirror Move!" I punched my fist out with a whoop!

"GEOT!" Pidgeot flared his wings out stopping himself mid air and opened his beak wide open, a familiar sphere of multi coloured energy swirling into existence within it, before he thrust his head forward, handsome stylish plumage swaying powerfully in the gale force winds being generated by the huge explosion caused by Hydreigon's attacks, and unleashed the attack in the form of a large serpentine dragon of pure rainbow coloured energy straight towards Hydreigon's previous position.

The roaring dragon of energy soared forth into the explosion and a moment later the area thundered with another explosion as the Dragon Pulse attack hit its target and detonated with world shaking force!

And then we waited with baited breath for the massive smoke from the explosion kicked up by the multiple hugely powerful attacks to dissipate.

Just before it made contact though, the middle head of the Hydreigon growled, eyes flashing green and then a green spherical barrier swarmed into existence around its body, just in time for the Dragon Pulse to smash into it, and wash over it like a wave against a cliff side.

"Rest and Roost," Lance ordered, crossing his arms and the grin on his face having only widened as the left head of Hydreigon dipped down further and fell asleep, while the right rose up with a snarl, a familiar energy colour washing over its body, the same I'd seen Pidgeot, Fearow and such use multiple times, "That was quite the tactic, not many would think to try and use shock wave against the user instead of blocking it or attacking it to destroy it, if they even knew it followed in the first place and didn't just try to dodge, but you even predicted that leading it back to Hydreigon alone wouldn't be enough and baited us into attacking, huh? Your battle instincts and strategy are incredible."

Shit. I should have expected Lance would be more Cooler than Frieza. He wasn't a shithead dumbass that relied on his natural abilities and heritage to get where he is alone after all.

And beyond that, Hydreigon could stack fucking healing moves? Are you fucking kidding me? That's bullshit!

"Quick Attack into Wing Attack!" I ignored him and quickly ordered, "Smash that barrier open!"

With the injuries Hydreigon had, and expending all that crazy amount of energy it had at this point, no way it could keep it up for long right? If we just hammer it down quick enough, we'll win this!

"Pidgeot!" Pidgeot barked out a battle cry and shot forward so fast with a beat of his wings I heard the sound barrier shatter around him, and the earth itself rumbled as he was upon protect barrier an instant later smashing both wing attack enhanced wings into it with all his power.

A sound like a gong being struck with a gigantic hammer rung out and thundered in my ears and the barrier rippled noticeably from the impact.

And then Pidgeot's wings moved as a blur as he hammered the barrier over and over again at bullet like speeds with a barrage of wing attacks.

'I really need to teach some pokemon feint for this protect bullshit!' I growled inwardly, fists clenching.

I know this isn't about winning, but this is bullshit, we had this! Or we would have if our opponent wasn't a bullshit more or less shonen protagonist pokemon champion!

I should have fucking remembered that from the beginning. Every single champion may as well have been a shonen protagonist already having completed their initial story.

Which meant, I should never even give them a chance to to recuperate, because somehow, someway, they'd pull bullshit like this out of their asses!

This is a good reminder for next time I battle Ash or something though!

Pidgeot's blows sounded like a machine gun turret going off from the rapid fire blows against the protect barrier-

And within just a few seconds, a sound like shattering glass rang out as the protect barrier broke under Pidgeot's rapid fire wing attacks!

"NOW!" I roared.

"GEOT!" Pidgeot roared back in compliance, both wings swinging down at Hydreigon like a pair of glowing guillotine blades.

Only, just as he was about to make contact, both the smaller heads of Hydreigon rose up and my eyes widened as a familiar pair of crackling yellow orbs of electricity came into view.

The Rest head was awake already!?

Twin beams of yellow electricity erupted and slammed into Pidgeot before he could make contact and my massive try hard bird shrieked in pain as the beams smashed him high into the air all the while electrocuting him, all the while he struggled against them with all his might.

Because my try hard bird wouldn't go down so easily!

"Spite!" Lance quickly ordered, and the main heads eyes glowed with crimson red energy that shot out in a pair of twin laser like beams and washed over Pidgeot as well.

And I watched as Pidgeot…went limp?

What….?

I watched bleakly as the twin Charge Beam attacks dissipated after a few moments and Pidgeot dropped from over fifty feet in the air to crash into the ground, hard.

What the fuck was that? Spite was supposed to get rid of an attacks move PP, so what the fuck did it do-

My eyes widened, "Spite drains stamina?!" I gaped in realisation as Pidgeot shakily began pushing himself up on both wings, panting in pure exhaustion, not pain.

I know the difference when it comes to Pidgeot after all. I'm well aware of his exhausted expressions at this point.

"First time running into it I see," Lance mused with a nod, "Well, you're still so very young and only just really started, it's obvious you won't have come across everything yet. But yes, you're right on the money Jord, Spite is a handy little technique that massively drains the stamina of the target."

"But wait," I shook my head, "That doesn't explain how one of the heads of your Hydreigon woke up so quickly!"

"Oh, that? That's just a little trick of mine," Lance laughed, "Hydreigon knows the attack Uproar. You probably didn't notice, but when Hydreigon's right head dipped back down and looked like it was resting, it actually was using a low powered version of Uproar to wake the other head up."

…And Uproar had a few effects when used, one of them being waking up sleeping targets hit by it. And since Hydreigon had multiple heads and could have one of them resting at a time…

He could basically recycle using Rest and take care of any of the risks that came with using it.

Fuck.

On top of that, between the Roost and Rest combo, Hydreigon was looking pretty much in tip top shape again.

"Now, how about to finish this up, we show something cool?" Lance's grin widened to almost manic proportions, "Lemme ask you Jord, do you know how the attack Payback works?"

I knew how the game version worked.

"It converts damage taken by the user into an attack." I replied evenly, clicking my tongue. I had feeling it wasn't going to be that simple though.

"Mostly right," Lance laughed, "In fact, it converts damage taken over a period of time into power. Even damage that has already been healed. And a fun fact as well, it is amplified by the boost Hydreigon gets from the Charge Beam attacks and Nasty Plot."

So basically…fucking Revenge Counter then?

Hydreigon the Dragon Sin of Wrath up in this bitch, huh?

Pokemon are fucking bullshit man.

I nodded, "Alright, bring it on then, let's see this bag bad attack of yours Mr. Champion, because Pidgeot isn't done yet!"

At my words, Pidgeot shook his head and spread his wings wide once more, "GEOT!" be barked in challenge towards Hydreigon once more.

"Yeah, that's what I've come to expect from you both Jord!" Lance laughed once more, happily, excitedly, "Let's go Hydreigon finish this off with-

"Mirror Move!" I quickly cut him off before he could finish.

Just before he finished and just before Hydreigon took his orders, I threw out mine.

And Pidgeot's eyes glowed with bright silver power.

And then an ominous crimson glow replaced it.

Twin beams of crimson energy erupted from his piercing avian gaze and slammed into Hydreigon while it and Lance were distracted.

A surprised grumbling roar left all three of Hydreigon's heads as Pidgeot began draining its energy with the copied spite.

And a second later, the floating Hydreigon dropped to the ground from exhaustion as its energy was drained by Pidgeot.

'You shouldn't have confirmed spite did that, and you should have just finished us off!' I roared inwardly, a smirk splitting my face.

Because Lance, you might have healed all the damage Hydreigon took. But it didn't recover its energy. And between the battle against Charizard and now Pidgeot, that Hydreigon had fired off a shit load of ultra powerful attacks!

Multiplied by three!

The true weakness of all shonen protagonists, was their need to monologue!

"Keep it up and rush it with Wing Attack!" I quickly ordered. The attack would exhaust Pidgeot to keep up for sure-

Because Mirror Move had one weakness I had discovered over using it since Pidgeot had learned it. It amounted to using two attacks at once.

And with his energy already massively drained, Pidgeot won't be able to keep it up for long!

But we don't need long!

"Geot!" Pidgeot barked and spiked his massive wings through the air, throwing himself into a dash through the air, all the while glaring crimson red beams into Hydreigon's body, draining it, keeping it pinned.

Pidgeot was on it in moments, wings glowing with the power of Wing Attack and slamming them into Hydreigons main head and smashing it into the ground with concrete shattering force.

It barely hit the ground before one of Pidgeot's talon'd feed kicked it in the stomach launching it back up, before Pidgeot headbutted it straight in the main face once more, glaring crimson red beams straight into it-

Before chopping it in the neck with one of his glowing wings, and then thrusting out one of his feet in a rising thrust kick that stabbed his talons into Hydreigon's chest, gouging them into its scales.

"Close Combat!?" Lance shouted in shock.

No, but it did look like that, didn't it?

Pidgeot was a blur of demolishing force, talons clawing into Hydreigon, head smashing into it with bone breaking force, wings glowing with power and crushing its body with each, beak shooting out with steel piercing power.

"I FUCKING TOLD YA! DAT BIRD IS A FRIGGIN MONSTER!" I heard someone shout loudly, they sounded kind of familiar actually, but I couldn't pin them while I was focused on Pidgeot giving it his all.

The blur of attacks lasted for just over five seconds of constant motion, before the red glare erupting from Pidgeot's eyes sputtered out and he lost momentum, tumbling back on his feet, though not before driving Hydreigon into the ground once more with one massive glowing white wing before the power behind it too fizzled out.

Pidgeot's legs trembled and almost gave out, he in fact began falling back, before he thrust both massive wings out, beating against the air itself and forced himself back to his feet.

Pidgeot panted in exhaustion, eyes fluttering with weakness, on the very verge of falling unconscious.

It was taking everything he had left just to keep standing.

Hydreigons main head rose up from where its body lay limp and hissed out a growl of defiance at Pidgeot, before falling limp.

Unable to continue.

"…You're a sly one, huh Jord?" Lance mused aloud, "That was quite the reversal, I have to admit." he said, as he casually returned Hydreigon to its pokeball.

"I'm a great a many things," I agreed, unashamedly, "And the loser of this battle sadly. Pidgeot can still go on of course, but I'm gonna throw in the towel here and now, I know where we stand more or less now." I said, as I lifted Pidgeot's pokeball and returned him to it, letting him rest.

Pidgeot actually has nothing left. But I have to protect his pride as well as his trainer after all. He wasn't backing down from another fight here, I was.

And that was nowhere close to a champion. Me and my pokemon have brought two of Lance's pokemon down, but only because he never once took us seriously and let us strut our stuff.

But, we're on the right path.

And I just showed the entire world that we were.
