In the audience,
" Wind Force?" Lance and Lorelei asked puzzled about this term.
Agatha answered their questions," Every pokemons has a specific type but they can learn moves of different types. The type differentiation is done on the basis of the powers they can control. Like my Gengar, he can control Ghost and poison power easily.
That is why pokemons have type. Rhyhorn is a ground and rock type. They are two different categories of Earth power.
Some control ground and some has rock power making their defence strong. This is one of the criteria for Pokemon type classification.
If a new type is to be discovered they must also have a representative of that type. And the only ones eligible are ones who mastered those energy.
The two pokemons are using their respective energy force. This is a threshold too for the Pokemons.".
" Threshold?" Lance asked
This time Surge clarified their doubts" Yes threshold. Most pokemons only reach advanced level at most. Some Pokemon reach elite level in their a_d_u_l_thood such as the Pseudo legendary like your Dratini. But that's it.
To reach the next level, one must master his energy. Their respective elemental power. And if you can't then you are only be strong but not one eligible to lead.
Many clans leaders of Pokemon reach this threshold. This level of Pokemon can bring down an entire city if angered. Those who reach this level are " Pseudo- King".
All the pokemons of the gym leader must have at least one pokemon of this level. This Alex is really enchanting."
"Alex already as strong as the gym leader?" Lorelei asked shocked.
" No, he didn't reach that level. His Pidgeot had only reached a glimpse and his body isn't strong enough.
Alex raised a Pidgeot to this level without much financial support or special ingredients has already made him a leader among your generation and the gap will only widen.
When a pokemons uses it's elemental power to strengthen itself as well as enhance it's powers at a higher scale, It is called Force power." Agatha told them bluntly.
" So does that mean we won't be his opponent?" Lance asked. He already declared him his rival and he wasn't willing to give up easily.
" He had not much resources and he reach this level. With the recent transactions we did as well as with enough support he will be great.
You are powerful Lance and you will probably surpass me by the time you reach twenty or so but that's all.
Alex he will probably try to shake the throne of those monsters. I really hope I could see that scene." Agatha consoled him.
Surge meanwhile asked," Did you already regard him at that level? "
" I saw his Haunter, Charmeleon and Swinub. They will reach this level in just two years if not sooner.
And his others will too reach this. His Eevee after choosing it's evolved form will reach it sooner.
At least I am sure we will have a deterrence in Kanto in five or so years." Agatha said proudly.
Lance and Lorelei were shocked by the evaluation of Alex but the one most shocked was Surge.
These young trainers may not know what deterrence really meant but he knew.
The Elite fours of each league were a deterrence. They were the ones who brought fear in the opponents
And what does a fifteen year of elite four meant. It meant a champion level will appear within twenty or so years.
This person can subdued all the opponents just by his presence.
They all didn't know that Agatha wasn't evaluating them but just telling them what she saw in her past. The glory and powers of these pokemons will hold in the future which inspired her generation.
The generation which suppressed all others and made Kanto the undisputed strongest.
She also added," The real battle starts now."
In the battlefield,
Alex said," We don't have much time so try to end it as soon as possible."
He knew Pidgeot can't handle this form much longer.
Giovanni on the other hand too knew this but if he used the method of stalling against a new Trainer he felt he would shame himself so he commanded Rhyhorn," Use ground force full power."
Then Rhyhorn was surrounded by a brown aura and the surrounding battlefield seemed to resonate with his energy and the ground shakes up.
Similarly, Pidgeot too glowed bright blue and it's wings and talons had a layer of brighter blue coat which seems that they may cut through even rocks.
The air seemed to be heavy as if all the wind around acc_u_mulated in the battlefield.
Suddenly this situation was broken by a loud
" Go " from both the trainers.
This barrier rotated around swiftly cutting the rock pillars into pieces but this wasn't all the attacked.
" Roarr" And a sandstorm rose to pelt it
" Caww" and a tornado erected around the Pidgeot to protect it
This time Pidgeot attacked it with sharp wind blades that pierced through the wall of Earth and but clashed with the enhanced defence of Rhyhorn.
The final result was only some bigger cuts and few drops of blood falling on the ground. This only served to anger it.
And it intensifies the attack force. Then Pidgeot too was pelted with rocks. This also wounded him.
His body can't handle much stress of the power up.
" Sky roar." Alex commanded.
And a thick tornado of wind rose from. it's beak similar to hyper beam and headed fast towards Rhyhorn. ( It is similar to sky dragon roar in fairy tail.)
They knew it was the last struggle of Alex but it still didn't stop to amaze them.
Giovanni too knowing that force behind it shouted desperately," Earth power Mountain."
Suddenly all the pelting stopped and all the rock columns combined together to form a mountain structure in front of the roar attack.
( Like jura's Mt.fuji")
The two clashed and a big shockwave was released through Pidgeot sailing back in the air. Even Alex was retreated some feet only because his Haunter helped him counter some force.
The audience wasn't affected because Agatha's Gengar rose a barrier to protect them from harm.
The final result was that both the pokemons were tired. Much power was used by by Rhyhorn to counter this move.
He has only some bruises as his defense slowed the attack enough for it to dodge the direct attack but it's aftermath still wounded it.
The place were the move fell had a few metre thick crater with ten metre long diameter.
Pidgeot too stopped glowing because of it was tired and also from the impact of wind backward force of the attack.
All the audience were amazed by the attack power and impact of those moves.
Alex and Giovanni eyed each other and through it reached an agreement that the next move will be the final move.
" Brave Bird."
" Horn drill "
A fiery bird headed straight towards Rhyhorn and Rhyhorn rotated it's drill and and too headed for the impact.
This final clash wasn't as grand as the last due to lack of elemental involvement but it still sent Pidgeot rolling on the ground.
And the Rhyhorn staggered a bit but balanced on four so that it didn't fall down.
And Pidgeot was smashed in the ground. It has lost. Some wounds had now started to bleed.
The referee declared," Pidgeot is unable to battle. Please choose your next pokemons."
He recalled the Pidgeot back and thanked it for it's effort.
Rhyhorn too was tired so Giovanni recalled it but the referee asked," Do you really want to withdraw your pokemon sir. According to regulations only the trainer can recall the pokemons. If the gym leaders do it then their pokemons will forfeit. "
Giovanni calmly answered from his position while leaning on the railing in the high platform ," If his next pokemons are similar to his Pidgeot then it will only stall time and would not affect the next round much."
Then he looked at Alex and said," I really look forward to the next to understand"
He threw the pokeball and a blue bipedalism reptile was released. It was a Nidoqueen.
Alex too said," This battle is really educating. Last battle you were at type disadvantage but in this it seems I will be the one."
And he too threw hid pokeball.
Out came a slightly humanoid creature with a few feline traits. It is covered in yellow fur with black stripes; a large stripe on its c_h_e_s_t is shaped like a lightning bolt. It has a long tail. There are three, clawed toes on each of its feet, two in front and one in back, while it has five fingers on each hand. It has two sharp fangs and a pair of antennae with bulbous ends.
It was an Electabuzz.
The second pokemons of Alex was released. Now the next round of Pokemon gym battle begins soon.
