After I said goodbye to my third opponent, I walked into my elevator and watched as the metal doors closed.
My second opponent put up quite a fight with his Delphox, but Charcoal handled it well. My third opponent had a Frosslass, which was a perfect opportunity to use Jet. He did amazing! I can't wait to see who my next opponent will be. I hope the others are doing well.
When my elevator stopped, the doors opened, and my eyes widened.
"Elsu?" I questioned.
"Eragona! What a surprise!" he said.
I smiled as I stepped onto the battlefield. The referee showed up and glanced at us.
"One-on-one. The winner will advance to the next level," the referee said, "Now, battle begin!"
"Scolipede, I choose you!" Elsu said, throwing out a Pokéball.
"Charcoal, let's light it up!" I said, mimicking my friend.
At once, our Pokémon appeared with mighty cries.
Luckily, I know this Scolipede's ability and moves. I'll have to work around that Speed Boost of his...
"Megahorn!" Elsu cried.
The Scolipede cried out, and its horns started glowing bright lime green. The Megapede Pokémon then charged toward Charcoal at amazing speed.
"Counter with Slash!" I said.
Charcoal's claws extended and started glowing white. The two Pokémon charged at one another, and their attacks clashed. Then, Scolipede's body glinted red.
Its speed just rose. Gotta be careful now.
"Flamethrower!" I cried.
Charcoal roared and fired a ribbon of fire upon the Scolipede, causing it to stumble.
"Don't let up, Charcoal!" I exclaimed, "Use Dragon Pulse!"
Charcoal cried out before releasing a multicolored shock wave at the dazed Scolipede.
"Quick, dodge it!" Elsu said.
Scolipede growled as it dodged the incoming attack. Then, the Megapede Pokémon's body glinted red again.
I have to be extra careful now; its speed rose again. It's probably faster than Charcoal now.
"Up in the air, Charcoal!" I said.
Charcoal spread his wings and propelled himself in the air.
"Oh, no, you don't," Elsu said, "Rockslide, Scolipede!"
The Scolipede let out a cry before summoning large boulders above Charcoal.
"Quick, dodge 'em!" I cried.
My Charizard obeyed and smoothly weaved through the falling boulders. As I watched the boulders fall, I noticed how none of the rocks fell near Scolipede.
If memory serves me right, Rock-type moves are super-effective against Bug-type Pokémon. I've got an idea; I hope it works.
"Charcoal, use Wing Attack to knock the boulders into Scolipede!" I exclaimed.
My Charizard groaned before his wings started to glow. Charcoal roared as he knocked the incoming rocks toward the Megapede Pokémon.
"Scolipede, get out of there!" Elsu cried.
Before Scolipede could move, the Bug-type Pokémon got pummeled by the large boulders.
"Ah! Scolipede!" Elsu exclaimed.
