"Beep—"
"Quilava, the Volcano Pokémon."
"Quilava is the first evolved form of Cyndaquil. Its appearance is basically similar to Cyndaquil, but it has an additional tuft of flame on its head, and its body has become longer."
"Quilava has no gender differences."
"Quilava's flame power is much stronger than Cyndaquil's. It is very powerful when using Fire-type moves and can easily burn opponents."
"Note: Quilava's temperament is braver than Cyndaquil's. It will use the flames on its back to intimidate opponents, and the flames on its back are much fiercer."
Easily burns opponents?
Then it seems I can't directly take Fire-type attacks.
Riku pondered slightly. He was still a Pokémon newbie and had to rely on the Pokédex to figure out if the opposing Quilava had any other types.
Seeing that it was only Fire-type, completely countered by his Milotic, Riku finally felt relieved.
"Quilava, Quick Attack, quickly approach Milotic!"
While Riku was thinking, the annoyed Dawn had already issued the command.
Her battle experience was quite rich, and she could see that the opposing Milotic was also Elite-level. As long as it wasn't a Champion-level Water-type Pokémon, Dawn dared to have Quilava fight it.
Because Quilava was not only a Fire-type Pokémon—with its physical attack and speed, it could even go head-to-head with Fighting-type Pokémon for a few rounds.
Otherwise, seeing that its type was completely countered, Dawn would have definitely given up directly.
"So fast!"
Seeing Quilava leap from the edge of the arena to the center in the blink of an eye, Riku was startled.
"Milotic, Whirlpool!"
"We must suppress Quilava's speed."
"Haya—"
Milotic responded to Riku, indicating that it had received the command and began to gather energy.
But Whirlpool wasn't a wide-range attack; Milotic had to find its target to release it.
?!
Watching Milotic unable to lock onto Quilava at all, Riku was preparing to issue another command—when Milotic was hit.
"Haya—"
Quick Attack wasn't a very powerful move.
But this attack still made Milotic take two steps back.
"Not very effective. This Milotic's defense is really high!"
And seeing Quilava hit Milotic, Dawn not only didn't look excited—her expression darkened.
Fire-type Pokémon were naturally countered by Water-type Pokémon.
Even without using Fire-type attacks, even normal attacks would deal reduced damage.
"Haya haya!!"
Being hit by Quilava, Milotic was furious.
Among the many legendary Pokémon on the island, besides Farfetch'd, none of the Pokémon under Riku's command were weak.
It hadn't yet become a Champion-level Pokémon, which already made it feel a bit inferior, and now it was injured by a mere Quilava.
How would it ever face the other Pokémon on the island in the future?
"Milotic, don't be anxious," Riku said calmly.
"Quilava is no match for you. You'll only make things difficult if you get flustered."
"Listen to my command."
"Aqua Ring, cover the entire arena!"
"Haya—"
Milotic's body suddenly emitted a burst of water vapor, quickly forming water droplets, which then spread throughout the arena as Riku instructed.
Aqua Ring could slowly restore Milotic's HP during battle.
And Quilava, as a Fire-type Pokémon, felt the entire arena covered in Aqua Ring and immediately became a bit agitated and uneasy.
"Quilava, steady yourself," Dawn also quickly issued a command.
"Using Fire-type moves on Milotic won't be very effective."
"Swift!"
Swift was a move that was guaranteed to hit.
Riku frowned and gritted his teeth.
"Milotic, take the Swift head-on. Counterattack at any time."
Not good!
Dawn's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't expected Riku to have Milotic take the attack head-on.
Just as she wanted to stop Quilava, it was already too late.
Having been hit by Swift, Milotic was enraged.
Without waiting for Riku's command, it unleashed a Water Pulse on the unprepared Quilava.
"Aww—"
Quilava instantly collapsed, unable to stand up at all.
The level difference wasn't large.
Being hit by a super-effective powerful move—if Quilava was a second-stage evolved Pokémon, it might have been able to withstand Milotic's Water Pulse.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
"Wow—" the audience exclaimed in unison:
"One-hit KO!"
"I thought this pretty girl was quite strong before, but I didn't expect her to be so ordinary."
"It's not that she's not strong—it's that Riku is too strong."
"That's right. After all, he's the genius trainer who can defeat the veteran Elite Four member Bruno."
"I haven't seen Riku use this Milotic before. It must be an Elite-level Pokémon."
"No way. Then won't I not be able to see the Shiny Metagross?"
"I also want to see the Shiny Metagross! It's so cool and majestic!"
The voices of the audience reached Dawn and Serena's ears.
Serena was curious—how powerful was Riku, that he even had a pseudo-legendary Shiny Metagross?
And Dawn frowned, feeling that her chances of winning today weren't great.
During this period, she had also heard about Riku's battle with Bruno in the Orange Archipelago, but Dawn thought it was just the islanders exaggerating and bragging.
She knew May, and had long heard that the Orange Archipelago didn't even have a Champion-level Pokémon Trainer.
With that kind of strength, they wanted to defeat Bruno—the veteran Elite Four member of the Indigo League?
Wasn't that an international joke?
But now, hearing that Riku actually possessed a pseudo-legendary Shiny Metagross, she felt that maybe Bruno really had been careless and lost to Riku.
"Go, Pachirisu!"
Recalling Quilava, Dawn certainly wouldn't give up so easily and quickly summoned a squirrel-like Pokémon.
"Water-type Pokémon?"
Seeing that the Pokémon's body was mainly blue, Riku was stunned for a few seconds.
Most Pokémon's bodies showed the color of their main type.
Seeing that it was also a Water-type Pokémon, Riku didn't plan to switch out Milotic.
But just as he was about to pick up the Pokédex, seeing Dawn raise the red flag, she immediately issued the command:
"Pachirisu, don't hold back."
"Thunderbolt!"
What!
Riku was startled. Only then did he clearly see two yellow electric pouches on the sides of Pachirisu's cheeks.
Boom—
A single Thunderbolt instantly hit Milotic.
Previously, Riku had used the Fire-type advantage over Water-type to defeat Quilava in one move.
Now, Dawn was returning the favor in kind.
"Whoa, this little girl is actually quite strong!" the Orange Archipelago audience exclaimed.
"Looks like they can go a few more rounds."
"Next battle, Riku won't just bring out Metagross, will he?"
"Although I want to see Metagross, if it comes out, the battle will be over. I really want to watch longer."
"If our Orange Archipelago Champion was still Drake, this little girl might still have a chance."
"Don't mention Drake anymore, give him some face."
"Milotic, can you still hold on?"
Seeing that Milotic's skin was a bit charred by the electricity, Riku immediately felt a bit worried and anxious.
If it were any other Elite-level Water-type Pokémon, facing an Electric-type ultimate move of the same level, it might have been defeated in one hit.
However, Milotic had been with the legendary Pokémon for so long—it wasn't for nothing.
Although Thunderbolt was very damaging, Milotic could still continue fighting.
"Impossible!" Dawn was shocked.
"It already took Quilava's Quick Attack and Swift, and now it's been hit by Pachirisu's Thunderbolt—how could Milotic still be standing?"
But Riku, looking at the persistent Milotic, suddenly shook his head.
"Forget it."
"Milotic, you should come back."
Milotic still wanted to persist, but it didn't dare disobey Riku's command.
And Milotic was also very smart—knowing that if it continued fighting, it would eventually lose.
"You can't summon Metagross!"
Just as Riku was about to summon Metagross to quickly end the battle and get back to making dinner, Dawn suddenly spoke up.
"Is this how you challenge?"
Riku was stunned, finding it unbelievable.
"I didn't know you were so strong before. If I had known you could even defeat a veteran Elite Four member, I wouldn't have challenged you today," Dawn said, a bit embarrassed.
"Your pseudo-legendary Shiny Metagross alone can defeat all my Pokémon. I can concede defeat today. With my strength, I might not get the title of Orange Archipelago Honorary Trainer, but I hope to continue battling your other Pokémon."
"Is that okay?"
Riku pondered for a moment, then finally smiled.
"Since you have such an idea, I'll accompany you."
"But even with my other Pokémon, you won't be able to win."
"Gengar, come out!"
"The remaining Pokémon on the other side—I'll leave them all to you."
"Don't disappoint me!"
