The first time they saw such a ferocious Pokémon, the audience in the Orange Archipelago fell silent. Amidst the massive roar, they all covered their ears and stared at it in shock.
My goodness!
This… this Gyarados is too scary!
"Wow!" The announcer was also startled by the ferocious Gyarados. Fortunately, his excellent professionalism allowed him to quickly recover. He looked down at the materials in his hand and said, "…Hmm… according to the data, Challenger Natsui's Gyarados has shown amazing strength at the Indigo Conference, defeating many powerful opponents. It's truly impressive. What kind of performance will it show today!?"
In front of their TV, Misa and her younger sister Misae, along with a large group of bikers, watched with wide, excited eyes as Gyarados made its entrance.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Misae shouted, "Sis, look! The boss's Gyarados is even more ferocious and intimidating than the last time we saw it!"
Misa's gaze lingered on the various scars on Gyarados's body for a few moments before she nodded. "Indeed. From these scars, it's clear it has been through some major battles. Its strength has definitely increased. And I don't know if it's my imagination, but I feel like its body has gotten even bigger."
On the field, facing this exceptionally ferocious Pokémon, even the spectators in the stands couldn't help but feel a sense of pressure.
Ditto, bearing the brunt of it, felt it most deeply. It looked at the massive Pokémon before it, and being stared at by those cold, ruthless eyes, its heart pounded with fear.
Intimidated before the battle even began?
Seeing this, Drake frowned, knowing this was not a good sign. He quickly shouted, "Ditto! Don't back down! Use Transform!"
Ditto nodded, forcing itself to calm down. Its body then began to change shape like a blob of slime, expanding until it finally took on the appearance of a Gyarados.
After transforming, although looking into those blood-red eyes still sent a chill down its spine, at least it was no longer standing there frozen with a blank mind.
From the outside, the two Gyarados looked almost identical, from their physique to their scars.
But even though the appearance and ability had been copied, Ditto's eyes still lacked the unique ferocity of the real Gyarados.
At that moment, the large scoreboard on the side of the stadium displayed the photos of both trainers' first Pokémon and their respective win-loss records.
Seeing that both sides were ready, the referee also took a step forward.
"Will both contestants please get ready!"
Seeing both Natsui and Drake nod lightly, the referee swung down the flags, which meant the match had officially begun.
The next second, without waiting for their trainers' commands, the two Pokémon charged forward simultaneously. Upon reaching the pool in the center, they bent their bodies and both dived in.
Compared to other types of Pokémon, Water-types could naturally exert their greatest power in the water.
And Ditto, having transformed into a Gyarados, naturally understood this principle, knowing that only in the water could it fully utilize the type advantages of this body.
As the two Pokémon emerged from the water almost at the same time, Natsui seized the initiative. "Gyarados, use Hydro Pump!"
He didn't hold back with this move, directly using the powerful Hydro Pump attack.
On the other side, seeing this, Drake calmly commanded, "Ditto, use the same move!"
The two Pokémon opened their mouths one after the other, massive jets of water forming inside. When the energy reached its peak, the Hydro Pumps shot out, rushing towards each other.
BOOM!
The two high-pressure water spheres, like cannonballs, collided in front of Ditto, creating a violent explosion before turning into splashes that scattered across the ground.
Natsui had never expected this attack to be effective; it was merely a distraction. So, before the water mist had even cleared, he had already shouted again, "Gyarados, charge through! Use Aqua Tail!"
Gyarados swam rapidly towards Ditto. Perhaps the previous attack had given Drake the false impression that he could handle it, because this time, he once again had Ditto use the same move and approach Gyarados.
However, in his mind, he was slightly puzzled.
Strange, he should know that Ditto now also has the Water type, so why is he still attacking with a Water-type move? Even if it hits, won't the damage be halved?
No matter how you looked at it, this man had, after all, won the Indigo Conference. He shouldn't be making such a low-level mistake, right?
The thought flashed through Drake's mind, but before he could dwell on it, the two Pokémon had already clashed.
They twisted their bodies, their massive tails, wrapped in water, swinging out simultaneously and crossing in mid-air, forming a large 'X'.
This attack once again created a loud noise, and the water wrapped around their tails rained down on the surface of the pool.
"What a powerful attack!" the announcer was professionally commentating on the match. "The two tails clash, and the water wrapped around them falls like rain! What a beautiful sight! But from the current situation, the two Pokémon seem to be evenly matched, and neither can get the upper hand!"
As he spoke, the announcer also thought to himself: Natsui's Gyarados looks fierce, but now, in front of Drake's Ditto, it seems it's nothing special after all!
On the field, the announcer's words naturally reached Natsui's ears.
Evenly matched?
A slight smile appeared on his lips. He knew that this Ditto had already fallen into his trap. Now, there was no need to hold back.
"Gyarados, show the world your power! Now… let's go on a rampage!"
Hearing Natsui's command, Gyarados's eyes widened in fury. It threw its head back and roared, completely abandoning reason. At that moment, only one thought was in its mind—to tear the enemy before it to shreds.
In the trainer's box on the other side, hearing this command, Drake's brow, which had been furrowed from the start, furrowed even deeper.
He used Thrash?
He really didn't understand. What was the use of a move that made one lose all reason, other than giving the enemy an opportunity?
Even if it was powerful, its accuracy was too low. In a real battle, it could rarely take down an opponent directly.
And most critically, after using Thrash, Gyarados itself would become confused. If it managed to defeat Ditto, that would be one thing, but if Ditto survived, wouldn't it become a sitting duck?
