While pidgeot and beedrill were ready for their final bout which will most probably lead to the death of the other.
This final clash was going to be too strong for any pokemon below elite peak stage. They would only perish if they arrive in their attack range.
Neither claydol nor Vespiqueen were at peak elite.
With Alex care, they reached peak advanced and could reach next level in a few months but the Tide, accelerated the process.
Under continuous battle they have reached initial elite level. And this was way too fast. If not for mew and the Mysterious gem of Celebi, they would still be in advanced stage.
Meanwhile other Pokemons were having a go too. Alex caught two Pokemons in their advanced stage who under Alex's care for around half an year, reached the peak advanced level just before the Tide.
They were Snorlax and Onix. Both are really powerful and had strong defence. These two along with piloswine are the tank of the team. They can take more hits than any other Pokemon of Alex.
And their stamina is worth envying.
As long as electabuzz doesn't go all out, he had no chance of winning Piloswine and Snorlax unless they fought for hours and he could only win onix because of his strong physique and fighting skills. So he knows many fighting type moves which are a bane of Onix.
But overtime, Onix learns to take these hits and survive longer increasing his already frightening endurance.
Earlier, Onix and nidorino were together and deal with tide but as Alex entered deeper into the crowd the four pokemons weren't enough so ivysaur called nidorino back and let Onix deal with many pokemons alone.
Onix was currently dealing with the trio of Hypno, Persian and magneton.
They were too fast for him to take down in one hit and hence he teied to use Rock throw as well as rock tomb to create hurdles for the three and decrease their speed and range of dodge.
Dragon breath to attack along with sandstorm from time to time to dodge the moves of the trio was also helping him in the long run.
The greatest advantage of Onix in this fight was his endurance. The longer he dragged on the battle, the greater his chances of victory will be.
And at the time of his fight, Snorlax contacted him. He hoped that Snorlax, him and Piloswine could join the team and deal with the Pokemons together so he could get back and get his cherished delight awaiting him back at the camp.
Before contacting Onix,
Snorlax and Piloswine seemed to steamrolled through the Pokemon tide. Their physical power as well as high defense made them a perfect tank for the fight.
Piloswine aren't known for their speed but their take down is powerful enough to destroy anything that stands in their path.
And his ice powers due to the millennium ice had greatly increased. His ice power have reached peak elite but his ground and physical strength lagged behind.
His ground powers were at advance stage while strength was also there.
He used to freeze the very ground itself in ice so that the rush of wild pokemons come to halt and they fell down heavily and then Earthquake does the trick.
The double attack from ice and ground attack was enough to deal with the Pokemons until his new opponent arrived.
It was a Muk and ampharos. These two could easily be taken down by Piloswine but Snorlax's words put all of this to a stop.
Snorlax just rolled around through rollout and crushed the Pokemons under his immense weight. They were crushed, their head cracked open, bones were crushed to dust and he was regarded as a ball of Doom by all.
Snorlax was taking down Pokemons left and right. In front of him noone could last more than a couple of hit.
His fight was uncontested until he encountered Rhydon, Golem, Victreebel, Weezing, Muk, Ursaring a well as Primeape.
All six of them knew that they couldn't take down Snorlax alone do they needed to join hands and if let unchecked he would be end the tide alone.
In front of them, Snorlax came to stop and regained his normal form.
He could take all of them down alone but decided to share and used the mental connection between all of Alex's Pokemon with Mew's help and contacted Piloswine.
' Hey, Piloswine. You around somewhere. '
' what is it, Snorlax? If you are going to ask me if I found anything tasty then no I didn't find anything tasty. And don't disturb me. I can't take hits as easily as you could. Some Pokemon need to dodge too.' Piloswine criticized Snorlax.
Snorlax wasn't affected by his criticism and merely thought,' Dodging is so much work. I think just taking the hit is much better.
And don't interrupt me. I didn't call you to ask for anything tasty. Anyway, I have seven Pokemons in front of me. Do you think you could join me here?' Snorlax asked.
Piloswine was quiet for a moment and then replied,' I got three here myself. We should contact Onix and see if he want to join the fun.'
' ok . Let me do it.' Snorlax said.
While the chat was going on, the Pokemons weren't standing still. They attacked Snorlax either through close combat or long range attacks.
' Onix, you anywhere around.' Snorlax asked through the bond.
' What do you want, Snorlax? I am kind of busy here with a fight and if you haven't noticed most of us are busy due to the tide so if you don't have anything important to say then stop distracting me.
I am fighting three Pokemons at a time and so I need to focus here.' Onix said grumpily.
" What about three, I am facing six and I am still talking to you. What so great about numbers?" He countered.
" Just get on with what you wanted to talk to me about?" Onix said not wanting to continue arguing with the big glutton.
" I thought since most of our friends are fighting in groups so why don't we do it too. This way we can deal with the Pokemons quickly and just so you know Piloswine is with me in this one."
" You doing it so you could get back to eating isn't it." Onix muttered
There was no reply from Snorlax about it but the faint laughter of Piloswine could be heard meaning this was what he really want.
" Ok I will join together with you just so I don't have to deal with more annoying pests." Onix said " and where are we going to meet?"
" Leave it to Piloswine and me."
And the connection came to a halt.
Piloswine swept his opponent with icy wind and sent the trio sailing through the air and hence ice shards manipulated them to follow the path he wants them to follow.
Similarly Snorlax thrashed four of the seven Pokemons flying towards a particular direction and this forced the other three to follow him behind.
The two were slowly heading towards Onix direction who was deeper in the enemy grounds.
Next will include the final fight of beedrill and pidgeot. Stay tuned
