"Great!"
Seeing Gary agree, Jimmy was very excited and decided to give it his all later. He was no longer the same person he was in New Bark Town.
The two came out of the Pokémon Department Store and arrived at a public space outside. There happened to be an area that no one was using.
"How do we fight?" Gary asked.
"3 on 3 battle," Jimmy replied.
"No problem, let's start," Gary said.
"Eevee!"
Eevee was also ready to enter the field, but Gary took out a Poké Ball from his waist and threw it.
"Heracross, you come to fight!" Gary called.
Great!
Heracross, with its black armor, appeared.
Eevee: "Eevee!! (*°°)!!"
Are you kidding me? "You didn't even let me go."
"Eevee, you should take a break first. You are too strong," Gary said.
"Yeah." Although Eevee wanted to bully the weakling, he didn't ask to continue playing because Gary praised him for being strong. He stayed beside Gary.
"Heracross, Bug-type Pokémon, I'll leave it to you," Jimmy threw the Poké Ball.
Great!
A Beedrill appeared.
[LV24 Beedrill/Gym]
Jimmy's starting Pokémon was Beedrill, which made Gary a little confused. "Don't you have Cyndaquil? Why do you want to use Beedrill?"
"Cyndaquil is my trump card. How can a trump card Pokémon appear at the beginning?" Jimmy said.
When Gary watched the Pokémon Gaiden before, Jimmy looked very calm, but he didn't expect that he also had some issues typical of a middle school boy.
"Then let's start. You attack first."
Gary said. "Okay!"
Jimmy was very confident now and immediately ordered, "Beedrill, use Twineedle to attack."
Hearing the command, Beedrill quickly rushed towards Heracross, ready to stab with Twineedle.
Seeing Jimmy's command, Gary felt that Jimmy was still too much of a rookie.
Although Beedrill was good at close combat, it could not compare with Heracross at all.
Heracross was the first generation of Bug-type kings. "Use Stone Edge!"
Gary ordered.
Heracross summoned stone blades, and they flew quickly towards Beedrill.
Beedrill did not dodge but faced the stone blades directly.
Seeing several stone blades flying towards him, Beedrill bravely stabbed out with Twineedle, trying to smash the stone blades, but he overestimated his own strength.
The stone blades that rushed over had strong power, which directly bounced Beedrill's Twineedle away, and the subsequent stone blades followed, instantly smashing Beedrill down.
Bang!! Beedrill fell to the ground, having lost its ability to fight.
"What!"
Jimmy was shocked.
He challenged Gary this time, not expecting to see himself being defeated instantly.
"Your Beedrill is too low level. Change to a higher-level Pokémon to fight otherwise, you are not my rival," Gary reminded.
If Jimmy wants to fight with Gary, he needs to practice hard for at least three or four months otherwise, the Pokémon in his hand will be defeated instantly.
"Beedrill, come back." Jimmy took back Beedrill and retorted, "High level does not mean everything."
"Then release your second Pokémon."
Gary didn't want to continue persuading Jimmy, so he told him the harsh reality: "High-level Pokémon can easily defeat you." "Donphan, please!"
Jimmy threw the Poké Ball.
Great!
A Donphan, covered with hard skin and with two fangs protruding from its mouth, appeared.
[LV27 Donphan/Elite]
Seeing Donphan, Gary was stunned for a moment.
This Donphan has good potential, even elite potential.
Donphan is a very good Ground-type Pokémon, with a base stat total of 500.
Unfortunately, its ability and skills are a bit lacking, but it is still worth training.
"Donphan, use Fire Fang!"
Jimmy ordered.
Donphan roared, and its exposed teeth were covered with flames as it quickly ran towards Heracross.
"Use Lunge!"
Gary commanded.
Heracross bent down slightly, and its legs suddenly exerted force, pouncing out fiercely like a mantis on its prey.
Bang!!
The two Pokémon collided with each other, and the powerful force instantly knocked Donphan ten meters away.
"What!" Jimmy couldn't believe it.
His Donphan was very powerful, but facing Heracross, it was completely no match.
"Although Donphan is a good Pokémon, its level is too low. It can withstand a hit and not fall down, which is still good, but... can your Donphan withstand a second hit?" Gary said.
"Don't look down on me! Donphan, use Bulldoze!" Jimmy countered.
Donphan dragged its injured body, raised its front limbs, and prepared to stomp the ground, but Heracross didn't give it any chance at all and used Pin Missile.
Heracross's big horns flashed with white light, and sharp needles emitting white light shot out.
Donphan didn't even get to use Stomping Tantrum before it was hit by Pin Missile and fell to the ground, losing the ability to fight.
"...!"
Seeing Donphan defeated so easily, Jimmy's originally confident face was replaced by seriousness, and the confidence in his heart was instantly worn away.
"Do you want to continue? I suggest you give up the match. As a rational Trainer, you need to judge the situation and clearly understand your current strength," Gary suggested.
"It's not over yet. I won't give up until the last moment," Jimmy said.
Gary was stunned for a moment. He thought Jimmy was mature and steady, but he didn't expect him to be so stubborn. It seems that he still needs to focus.
"Then let your Cyndaquil out," Gary said.
Jimmy took back the defeated Donphan, took out a red and white ball, and threw it hard.
"Quilava, please!"
Great!
[LV30 Quilava/Elite]
Jimmy's Cyndaquil had evolved into Quilava, which is almost an evolution within the normal cycle, and the level is not low.
If Gary hadn't upgraded Heracross some time ago, Quilava would have had some chance of winning, but now it has no chance at all.
Elite-level Pokémon, if you want to defeat Elite-level Pokémon, you have to stand still and let them hit you seven or eight times, and all of them must be moves that are super effective otherwise, there is no chance of winning.
"Quilava, use Flame Wheel!" Jimmy ordered.
"Go!"
Quilava saw that its rival was Gary, and the flames on its back burned violently, covering its body as it rushed over quickly.
"Defeat it head-on, Mega Horn!"
Heracross's horns shone with white light, and it rushed forward courageously.
Its powerful horns collided with Flame Wheel, sending Quilava flying out without any stalemate or burning.
Bang!!
Quilava stopped only after hitting the wire fence, the flames on its body dissipated, and it lay on the ground motionless.
Instant kill!!!
