Chapter 56: Chapter:56
Gyarados's Hydro Pump raged for 10 seconds, but when the torrent finally ceased, Grovyle had vanished.
It was just a simple Double Team, but the berserk Gyarados, unable to process strategy, didn't question why its target disappeared.
Misty, however, noticed immediately. "That was just a Double Team... no wonder it didn't flinch."
Satoshi smirked. "No matter how strong the attack, it's useless if it can't hit. Grovyle, let's give it a punch it won't forget!"
Behind Gyarados, a crackling sound of electricity rang out. The enraged Pokémon turned just in time to see Grovyle raising an electrified fist.
"Roar!!!" Gyarados roared, instinctively recognizing the danger. As a Water/Flying type, Electric attacks were its greatest weakness.
It lunged forward, fangs bared in an attempt to counter with Bite, but Grovyle's Thunder Punch was faster. With a quick sidestep, Grovyle avoided the attack and delivered a powerful blow to Gyarados's abdomen.
The berserk Pokémon thrashed violently, screaming in pain, but Grovyle had already retreated to safety.
Misty was stunned. "A Grass-type Pokémon using an Electric move? How is that even possible?"
Satoshi shrugged nonchalantly. "Let's just say my Pokémon are full of surprises. But maybe you should focus on the battle—Gyarados isn't down yet."
Misty snapped back to reality. She noticed Gyarados's movements slowing, its body occasionally twitching. "It's paralyzed!" she exclaimed.
"Exactly," Satoshi replied. "Now's your chance to recover and strike back."
"Staryu, Recover!"
The jewel on Staryu's center began to glow as it healed itself. Within moments, its injuries faded, leaving it ready for another round.
Satoshi nodded. "Great. Let's take it down together."
Misty smiled at him gratefully. "Alright, Staryu, let's finish this! Bubble Beam!"
"Grovyle, another Thunder Punch!"
Staryu struck first, releasing a barrage of bubbles that hit Gyarados head-on. The attack left Gyarados soaked, its movements even more sluggish.
Grovyle followed up with a decisive attack. With both fists crackling with electricity, it delivered a double Thunder Punch to the soaked Gyarados.
Water conducts electricity. The combination of Staryu's Bubble Beam and Grovyle's Electric attack amplified the damage. Gyarados let out one final roar before collapsing, eyes swirling in defeat.
"Ding! Charmeleon gained experience, level +1, reached level 31!"
"Ding! Frogadier gained experience, level +1, reached level 31!"
"Ding! Riolu gained experience, level +2, reached level 28!"
"Ding! Grovyle gained experience, level +2, reached level 28! Learned Agility!"
Satoshi smirked. "Not bad at all. That was worth the effort."
Misty quickly recalled both Staryu and Gyarados to their Poké Balls.
Satoshi raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise. "Wait... that Gyarados is yours?"
Misty sighed, her expression somber. "Yes... but..."
Before she could explain, her vision blurred. Her legs buckled, and she began to collapse.
Satoshi moved swiftly, catching her before she hit the ground. One arm supported her waist while the other steadied her shoulder.
He frowned, noticing the cuts and bruises covering her body. "She's completely drained... no wonder she fainted."
As Misty lay unconscious in his arms, Satoshi found himself momentarily distracted. "Huh... her waist is surprisingly..." He shook his head, snapping out of it.
"Focus, Satoshi. She needs medical attention."
With a calm, determined expression, he shifted Misty onto his back and began walking toward the Pokémon Center. "Let's get you patched up," he muttered, his steps steady as he carried her to safety.
