Pokemon - A Mystical Journey 218 Chapter 7 Gym Battle Part 4

The Waterflower sisters were shocked at the complete dominance that Alex's tentacruel showed in this battle. Jim was excited at his cousin's victory.

James and Gary saw just how powerful Alex Pokemons were in the past two battle. Although Alex lost the first one pretty easily but the attack power of poliwhirl wasn't something to laugh at.

At this time, tentacruel showed why they were feared in tge open sea as they could trap their prey underwater through their tentacles was revealed in his attack pattern.

Pikachu and Swablu were happy at their companion's victory.

Although most only see the dominance or the attack pattern, Daphne saw something extra in her vision. As a former trainer before becoming full time wife in the Waterflower and taking care of her daughter, she herself was a skilled trainer.

She also fought with her husband from time to time to make sure that her Pokemons strength doesn't degrade much.

As such she also knew the strength of his Pokemons. The defensive ability of cloyster was among the best of his Pokemons yet the fact that acid could hurt him even when he was hidden in the sh.e.l.l meant his poison was really strong.

And the final defense wall he erected to protect himself as well as the tentacles layered forward to protect himself.

This lessened the impact at the cost of a few tentacles which aren't much impactful on the long run in a big fight.

Mathew was impressed with how Alex trained to use the different parts of his body to do the bidding in the battle. He wasn't willing to waste any part of the body which helps the Pokemon to remain battle ready even if one part is injured and isn't working well.

Mathew returned the cloyster and pulled another pokeball.

He threw it in the air and his third Pokemon. It was a long blue serpentine pokemons with two moustache on his face and an open mouth.

The Pokemon was more than twenty feet long and had an intimidating appearance.

It was a Gyarados.

The mood of the Waterflower kids except Misty was down seeing their father lose but when he sent out Golduck, they shouted happily for their father.

Mathew revealed to his opponent,. " Alex you are entertaining, so let me warn you. Him and my next Pokemon are from my first combat team. They both rank in top ten strongest pokemons I currently possess.

So be prepared. The next battles won't be so easily won as this one." He said while looking at the floating Tentacruel.

Alex looked at his current Pokemon. Although for most people tentacruel may have won the battle easily but any experienced one could see that tentacruel was tired and heavily injured.

Although tentacruel seemed fine, he was tired and most of his tentacles were damaged. The longer he fights the more injured he would be so he decided to end this battle quickly.

" Hyper beam"

In hearing, tentacruel gathered an orange energy beam by his mouth and sent it towards the atrocious behemoth.

As the beam transversed the water parted giving way to the beam, and headed for the Gyarados. The beam seemed powerful as it had the entire energy of tentacruel.

But Mathew and Gyarados weren't bothered. Gyarados being one of Mathew's strongest fought multiple strong trainers knew how to deal with this and he swept his tail forth.

A twister started to generate in front of the Gyarados and the hyper beam collided.

The twister absorbed the kinetic energy of the hyper beam and moved faster. Gyarados guided it towards the tentacruel who was swept into the wind column and was hurled in the air by the strong wind.

He then crashed in the water hard and fainted. This sudden departure of tentacruel saddened Jim and James and Gray knew about the strength that the atrocious monster possessed.

Even Swablu and Pikachu were sad at his quick defeat and bowed their head in sadness.

This victory made the kids shout out in joy and Daphne just smiled.

But Alex didn't feel anything extraordinary. In front of this Pokemon Alex felt a presence stronger than his electabuzz but much weaker than the Gengar of the Lavender City.

He thought that the pokemon in front of him was at least peak psuedo king or had entered the king threshold.

Alex then returned his tentacruel and sent out his own behemoth.

Alex sent out his elite level Gyarados. Unlike Mathew's, he sent out a loud roar which scared the kids and Misty began to cry loudly.

Her cries made Mathew angry and Alex was angered by his behaviour.

Alex reprimanded his Gyarados and shouted," Gyarados what have I told you about shouting? "

Gyarados was surprised by the cries and the reprimand of his trainer made him lower his head in guilt.

" Roo... Roaa" he replied back. (' I just wanted to intimidate my opponent.')

But Alex wasn't so easily calmed and said," look at your opponent. He is stronger than you and seemed as scary as you in appearance yet he didn't roar so loudly.

I already told you not to do so and if you want to at least look around so children aren't scared because of you. Last time, you scared Alan and Helen and now look you scared another baby. "

Gyarados just continued to look down and was guilty about his act. He didn't try to speak his way out of the trouble. He wasn't even angry and calmly accepted his trainer's anger.

This submissive behavior surprised many especially the civilian family of Alex.

" Grandpa you told me that Gyarados are short tempered and easily angered. You shouldn't anger them no matter what so why is he do calm when Alex is scolding him?" Jim asked his grandfather.

Jane's didn't hear anything what his grandson said still looking at the scene in front of him.

" What do you mean, they are easily angered. I play with Gyarados all the time, and he was never angry at me." Lily asked cutely.

These words only continued to shock the two elders of Alex. Their views abouf pokemons change a lot with the power the Pokemons showed in the battle and now seeing the pokemon regarded as " deity of destruction" so calm when being scolded, was too much to them.

Jim saw that his father and grandpa cannot answer this so he turned to Daphne for answer.

Daphne seeing his gaze explained it to him," Gyarados are known for their anger and the destruction they leave in their rage. So most people are afraid of them.

But, trainers at Alex's level aren't afraid of them. They know how to treat gyarados. They are powerful enough to subdue them.

It is also that if a trainer raise Magikarp well then upon evolution able to calm his raging Pokemon, then they can easily control Gyarados. But it is based on the fact that trainer is skilled or not.

Pokemons of Gyarados level doesn't follow inadequate trainers. Look forward kids you will know why the Gyarados are feared. "

As soon as she said that the scolding was over, and the battle is commenced.

Alex's Gyarados sent out hydro pump at the Mathew's. He used aqua tail to dissipate the attack.

Just as he did that, Alex's lunged at Mathew's and bite him on his tail hard enough to draw blood. He had used ice fang and the tail froze a little.

Then it sent out a dragon pulse to let him release him. Alex had kept an eye for attack and ordered, " surround yourself with twister"

A twister surrounded him and hit his opponent. The attack made him delay the dragon pulse and Alex's dived into the pool to evade the attack which ripped through the twister.

Then Gyarados bit him on the underbelly making him ahake around in pain but the experienced fighter then used dragon rage and saved himself.

The constant biting had irritated the elder Gyarados and he went on outrage. His attacks sent Gyarados to the bottom. Gyarados wasn't willing to give his opponent the chance to rise and continued to attack.

Alex also sent his attacks and bite on his opponent. Their attack were fierce and everything happened underwater. The water was thrown out of the pool.

They lunged at each other bit the other or sent attack at tge opponent with their tail.

What Mathew's Gyarados used outrage consistently, Alex's used thrash.

Amd finally, Alex's was exhausted from the injury and his attack slowed down when his opponent sent a hyper beam defeating him.

Alex's Gyarados tired abd fainted bidy floated on the pool while a hurt and bleeding gyarados also revealed his appearance.

While the two trainers weren't affected by the appearance, but the kids were scared.

Daphne told the kids," Pokemons are dangerous. Always remember this. Although your father and alex can discipline thrm but you all are still too young to even stand in front of them."

While James mumbled ," Sure enough, if you are not strong enough, you cannot control these rage reincarnate."

The referee narrated," Alex's Gyarados had lost, please send your last Pokemon"

Alex calmly returned his Pokemon and then looked at Mathew and said," I can see why you are the strongest gym leader in the Kanto. You didn't go all out right now with Gyarados. "

" So?"Mathew asked with mirth in his eyes.

"Professor always tell me I am a bit prideful. And if I am using one of my strongest, I would like to make my opponent reveal his power unless I can completely overwhelmed.

So my next Pokemon will make yours use the strength worthy of a king."alex said while sending out a calm Slowking.
