Pokemon - A Mystical Journey 250 Chapter 37

While most people hoped that the experienced trainer now as commentators can clarify what happened, yet even they themselves have no idea what it happened.

So the commentators attributed it to Magcargo and Rosy faking pain, giving out fake groans of pain and nailing the target when the opportunity came.

In Bill's private room,.

While the commentator attributed it to tricks that the two Pokemons and trainer played against their opponents, yet Bill doesn't believe it so he dialed Alex.

Back with Alex,

" Weak armour".

Before Julius can ask what it means Alex's phone rang, and voice came," Bill is calling, Bill is calling, Bill is calling. " This words sounds for a couple of seconds and then phone vibrates and then the voice continued until Alex utters," Connect the call."

When Julius see the tech in Alex's hand, unlike many he isn't jealous or anything but feels he is worthy of it, for the things that many didn't know or even care to pay attention to or ignore are noticed by him.

He waits to ask his question for when he has replied the phone.

As soon as the phone is connected, Bill spoke out without any formal greetings but straight to topic," What happened out there, Alex? I know the commentator say it is just a trick by Rosy to lower Elsa's guard but I think the pain of Magcargo is real so why did all this happen?"

Bill fires the same question which Julius has in his mind.

Alex said," it is Weak armour."

" Weak armour?" Both Bill and Julius spoke out at the same time while the other audience , ie, Captain Bark remain quiet and listened to what he is saying.

" weak armour is a hidden ability of some of the Rock type pokemons, and Magcargo seems to possess these ability too.

One can confirm if his ability is activated by looking at the shell on it's back. This Magcargo has a lighter shell so the impression of it's weight on the ground isn't deep enough.

So I thought he might have this ability. Anyway, what this ability dies is, for every physical hit the speed of the Pokemon is increased. "

" What? So his highness is in trouble?" Julius said shocked while looking at the battle where Weavile tried to dodge but got but by some fire moves.

Alex in the other hand rolls his eyes and continue," While this ability is strong, it reduces the defensive ability of Pokemon.

You both should remember the moans of Magcargo. It is not because he is faking it,but because the attacks hurt him.

His pain tolerance may be high so he can last so many hits but it doesn't mean there is no damage.

So his natural armour is down, meaning almost every fighting type moves are going to be a critical hit. So if a fighting type move connects then the Magcargo won't last long. "

Everyone looks at the battlefield to see how accurate Alex is regarding his theory and actual battle.

In the battlefield,

After that, Elsa noticed most of the attack cannot do as much damage as she hoped so she sent a bizarre order.

" Weavile grab his shell."

Weavile although confused did as she was asked. When she did as directed, her next command of" Brick break" came.

In a surprising turn of events, all it took is a brick break to defeat the Magcargo.

After a clear hit, Magcargo's tolerance gave way and he fainted. Elsa is shocked by the change of events so is everyone who watched the game.

But, none of them is as shocked as three people. These people are Bill, Julius and Bark.

Everything happened as Alex said. Bill knows of Alex's power but never saw it up front, but this remarkable observation of Alex showed just how skill Alex really is.

As a trainer as well as past events, Julius knows that Alex is much stronger than him, but his greater perception once again made him aware of the gap between the two of them.

Finally, Captain Bark who silently heard the explanation of Alex felt that he is just bragging and wants to show off his fake information to them, but when the results came, he understands what his boss meant.

His intelligence is high, meant he may have many strategy up his sleeve to counter his enemies and defeat them effortlessly. This may be why he is the winner of the tournament.

With the commentary,

" It seems Magcargo was more hurt from Weavile's hit than we originally thought, it might be. " Stain stated.

" Yes, and Elsa took the right use of her opportunity to nail the victory in this round.

Weavile is hurt and burned in this fight. So she cannot last long."

Stain interjects and said," How much longer can she endure is the right questions ? Now, we have to see what next pokemon Rosy will send. She has shown her Lanturn earlier,so will he be her option."

In the battlefield,

The referee declared," Magcargo is unable to battle. Please choose your next pokemon. "

Rosy who understands what happened just returned her Pokemon back without much wait. She picks another pokeball from her ball strap belt and enlarged it .

She isn't that much affected by her loss and sent her next Pokemon with a smile," Destroy Claydol."

And a black doll shaped Pokemon is revealed. Seeing his appearance, Elsa's expression turned grave, but she controlled herself and decides to use Weavile to weaken Claydol.

In the audience,

Looking at another new Pokemon mostly found in Hoenn region, mostly in deserts or ruin exploration,yet most doesn't know what the name of pokemon even was.

" What is that strange doll pokemons?"

" Will it be a cursed doll? Maybe a ghost pokemons?"

Similar thoughts run through the mind of other people.

But the doubt is clarified by the commentators," Folks, this pokemon is called a Claydol, a psychic ground Pokemon. This is another pokemon normally found in Hoenn. They are extremely powerful for they sometimes serve as the guardian of the ruins they are assigned to guard."

Alex is still relaxed on seeing this pokemons, but Julius has a dignified look." It seems your Princess got herself in some trouble. " Alex joked but Julius didn't reply.

In the battlefield,

The battle began with Weavile sending ice beam towards claydol who simply deflected them around with his psychic.

Because of this the pool in the center has frozen along with a quarter of the land in the field.

But this ice didn't affect Weavile and Claydol. The crowd feels Rosy may soon lose her second pokemons.

The commentator narrated,"Although it seems like claydol is being subdued but it isn't the case, folks . Claydol are called fortress in ancient times due to their defensive poweress.

Also, Weavile seemed to be badly hurt against the fight with Magcargo. Because of the burns from last fight, his speed is greatly reduced. If she doesn't do something big, then the victory of Claydol is imminent. "

In the battlefield,

Both Rosy and Elsa also knows that the situation is similar to how Stain described but it doesn't mean Elsa has to like it.

She knows that the longer the battle drags on the lesser damage Weavile can inflict in Claydol. So it is necessary for her to inflict enough damage on claydol so her next pokemon may win the battle easily and she has an upper hand.

So Elsa devised a plan. The long range attack are deflected by claydol and the close ranged ones aren't strong enough to hurt Claydol.

If Weavile was in full health then the close range ones may play a role but in his current situation, it is a fool's dream to depend on them.

She orders her Pokemon," Ice punch"

Soon Weavile used his superior speed and appeared just under his left side and almost hit claydol but claydol has imprisoned him with psychic.

With Weavile under their control, the victory is in the grasp so Rosy smirks. Same was with the audience and most of the people,but Alex isn't one of them.

He knows Psychic cannot hold down Weavile, so the arrogant princess Elsa must have something up her sleeve and this may require the opponent to lower his guard. Before Rosy can finish the battle, Elsa's next order shocked them all," hyper beam" .

Weavile easily broke through the psychic hold and sent the powerful hyper beam at the claydol.

Because Weavile is too close to the blast area, he is hurled back and hit the boulders around the field.

When the dust cloud subsides, Weavile's fainted figure on the boulder is revealed while Claydol is mostly unaffected, or so most would think if not for his arm which seem to be immovable.

" Weavile is unable to fight, please send out your next Pokemon"

" Oh she lost in the end. It seems her last hit doesn't hit the mark. I think Claydol may have use protect to save himself." Marian expressed her opinion.

" I am of the same mind, Marian. Let's see what pokemon she decides to send up next. "

With Alex,

" Her last attack didn't work out in the end. The protect us a very tricky move which can cause problem for her later. " Julius said sadly.

" I won't say that it is completely useless. The attack is too close, and that claydol isn't as strong as mine to instantly use protect to save himself.

He used boulders around to protect himself. Although he survived, he is also hurt in the aftermath. Also, Rosy is pretty cunning, she has hid her secret move under the guise of protect. That move may really annoy her later." Alex said as his eyes sparkled with glee.

Although Alex can win most fight with his superior strength, he likes the battle with strategy and intrigue the most, for in his opinion human mind is mankind's greatest strength and any chance to exercise it cannot be given up.

Although Lucius didn't understand what he meant, he understood that Elsa is in a bigger problem than he apparently thought she is.
