When the referee announced the start of the match, Natsui and Giselle gave their commands almost simultaneously.
"Blastoise, use Water Gun!"
"Onix, dig underground!"
The two cannons on Blastoise's back both shot out streams of water towards Onix, but by the time the two thick jets of water arrived, Onix had already burrowed into the ground.
The water guns hit a huge rock, splashing everywhere and creating a large puddle, but they didn't even manage to touch Onix's tail.
A slight tremor came from underground.
Even standing on the command platform, Natsui could still faintly feel Onix digging and advancing rapidly beneath the rocks through these vibrations.
But the noisy sounds from the spectator stands made it impossible for him to pinpoint Onix's exact location.
"Blastoise, get on top of that biggest rock!"
Blastoise glanced over and quickly found the largest rock on the field. Despite its heavy body, with a few leaps, it still managed to stand on top of the rock.
Looking around, the view was wide and open. This way, even if Onix attacked from underground, the height would give Blastoise enough time to react.
Seeing this, Giselle shook her head slightly. She had originally wanted to launch a sneak attack on Blastoise, but now she had to give up that idea.
"Not a bad response," she first praised, but then her tone changed, and she smiled. "But by doing this, you've put yourself in a tight spot. Onix, use Rock Tomb!"
Sharp, pointed stone spikes suddenly grew from the ground, breaking through the soil and rocks, and approached Blastoise.
These stone spikes were extremely fast, difficult to dodge even on flat ground, let alone for Blastoise, who was currently standing on this isolated large rock.
However, Natsui was clearly prepared for this. He had even developed a countermeasure in his previous practices and battles.
"Blastoise, use Withdraw!"
Blastoise quickly retracted its limbs and head into its shell. As the Rock Tomb approached, the large rock under its feet shattered. With a 'bang', it was sent flying into the air, but thanks to the protection of its hard shell, it only suffered minor shock damage.
Giselle frowned slightly but was helpless. If it had been any other Pokémon, Onix's attack would have definitely caused considerable damage.
In contrast, Natsui felt a sense of relief.
Although he had used the Withdraw move over and over again until it was almost worn out, it was really effective against physical moves like Rock Tomb.
And unlike the previous situation, although Onix was still hidden underground and had not yet shown itself, its recent action had revealed its position.
It's time for our counterattack!
When Blastoise had flown high enough, Natsui pointed a finger and shouted at the same time, "Target that position, Rapid Spin!"
Blastoise's body began to spin rapidly, like a heavy pinwheel, and it crashed down on the patch of ground where Onix was hiding.
Although Onix had already started to move, Rapid Spin was clearly faster than digging underground!
BOOM!!
The heavy crash shook the earth, and the Onix below was left dizzy and dazed. It had no choice but to emerge from the ground.
"Good chance!" While Onix was stunned, Natsui continued to command, "Blastoise, use Water Gun!"
The two cannons on Blastoise's back began to continuously gather energy. Just as Onix recovered from its dizziness and was coming to its senses, the powerful Water Gun attack was unleashed, hitting it squarely.
ROAR!!
Against the Ground and Rock-type Onix, this Water Gun dealt four times the damage!
It was super effective!
Seeing that Onix's stamina was now critically low, Giselle hurriedly shouted, "Onix, get out of the way, quick!"
But after the first Water Gun, the ground, composed of dirt and gravel, had been soaked with a large amount of water. When Onix's heavy body passed over it, the ground softened, and it became like a quagmire, restricting its movements!
"What!?"
Not only the audience, but even Giselle had not expected such a situation to occur.
Seeing Giselle lose her composure and look at a loss, Natsui chuckled lightly, "I imagine these kinds of unexpected situations are something you can't learn in school, right?"
Hearing this, Giselle clenched her fists but did not retort.
In fact, the fields at the school were almost always unchanging, and every one of them fought according to the knowledge taught by their teachers, in a step-by-step manner. Such a situation had indeed never occurred.
Seeing that Onix was still unable to break free, Natsui gave the final command, "Alright, it's time to end this battle. Blastoise, finish it!"
Blastoise aimed its cannons at Onix, and another Water Gun knocked it to the ground. This time, it completely knocked Onix out.
"Wow, what a shame!" the announcer's slightly regretful voice echoed throughout the stadium. "Although Onix looks tough and has excellent physical defense, against a special move that it's weak to, its proud defense is completely useless!"
The audience cheered wildly.
Unlike the dejected supporters of Giselle, Natsui's supporters were in high spirits now that he had won the match.
The announcer then comforted them with a few words.
"But don't be discouraged, everyone. I believe that if it weren't for the type disadvantage, this battle would have been even more exciting! Alright, now let's see what Pokémon competitor Giselle will send out next to deal with this situation!"
In the middle of the field, listening to the voices around her, Giselle sighed helplessly.
She really hadn't expected her Onix to be defeated so easily.
In fact, back at school, she was very good at using Ground-type Pokémon. When battling her classmates, even if she was at a type disadvantage, she would win with ease.
However, the harsh reality of the arena had finally given this hothouse flower a taste of bitter fruit!
And it was only at this moment that she finally realized that the handsome trainer before her was very different from her classmates, her teachers, and even the opponents she had defeated in the first two rounds.
Although she was briefly flustered, perhaps due to years of accumulated confidence, Giselle quickly adjusted her mindset.
"I was indeed too careless in that last battle! To even think of defeating such a powerful opponent while at a type disadvantage!" She recalled Onix and then, unhurriedly, took out her second Poké Ball. "But in the second battle, with this guy participating, I definitely won't lose!
