Chapter 251 - 38

Elsa doesn't worry about losing her Weavile. The one thing that worried her is how Rosy's Claydol remained unaffected from the last hit.

Just like Alex, she thinks it has nothing to do with protecting but something completely different. She has a gut feeling that she needs more strength to take down this Pokemon.

She decides to use one of the strongest Pokemon in her team, "Go Piloswine."

She sent her ice ground type small Mammoth like Pokemon, piloswine.

As soon as he appears on the field, the temperature of the room decreases slightly, although not enough for most people to sense the temperature change, but it is enough for some observant people to notice.

And the commentators are among those observant few people, Marian said, "This is a powerful piloswine. His very arrival can reduce the temperature of the field. It seems that this will be a very amazing match. What do you think, Stain?" She inquires her fellow commentator's opinion.

" I think that claydol will not go down easily. And both pokemons consider each other a worthy foe, and are looking forward to the next bout."

With Alex,

On sending the atmospheric temperature change, Alex's eyes sparkled." So she fed him a thousand year old nevermelt ice, isnt it?" Alex inquired Elsa's guardian.

Although it is a secret regarding the Piloswine eating the ice, any person who knows ice type pokemons, as well as their strength and property, can detect something like this so Julius didn't feel that a tone had betrayed the Royal family and revealed this news.

" Yes. She did feed him that. After feeding swinub that I've, he evolved to Piloswine. " He explained it to Alex.

On hearing this he shook his head and mumbled," What a waste of resource "

Although Julius heard it clearly he still felt he might have heard something wrong and asks ," Did you say something?"

" Yes, I said it is a complete waste. A swinub isn't strong enough to digest the energy in a nevermelt ice. If he is unlucky it may die under the extreme cold, while if he is lucky he may survive and evolve into piloswine, but it still waste too much energy.

Only Piloswine, Walrein, Lapras and powerful ice pokemons can fully utilize the energy and not waste it.

If she has managed to help her Piloswine better, his road to evolution would have been much better as compared to his current route. Anyway, it is her problem, not mine."

Whatever Alex told is the truth so Julius is once again shocked by the deduction skills of Alex and asks," How do you know what might have happened to Piloswine?"

" I have a Piloswine myself. I think he will evolve into mamoswine in the next year or so. After all, he is pretty aggressive after the evolution, and bonding with him while getting my Pokemon to become stronger would be a good thing. As they may help him calm things down if he decides to go on a rampage. " Alex explains while Julius thought of Elsa who wants her Piloswine to become Mamoswine as soon as possible for getting the adverse effect it might have in their relation.

He can only sigh at the Impulsive actions of Elsa but he isn't someone who can stop her from doing things as she liked.

In the battlefield,

The referee has signalled for the battle to begin and it did as Piloswine summoned a hail stone.

Hail pelts on Claydol's body yet it didn't seem much affected by it except for some frost covering his body.

Distracted from the hail, Elsa orders her Pokemon," Take down"

The mammoth Pokemon collides with the doll Pokemon and make it fall on the ground. With this, the levitation ability is put to halt and an earthquake that shocked the field hurts the doll Pokemon.

Of course, The psybeam attack of Claydol also hurt the ice type who m_o_a_n_e_d out in pain.

Piloswine has strong attack and defense but are weak under special attacks.

As Piloswine is in pain, Rosy orders, "Flamethrower" and a jet of flames hit Piloswine on his back.

It is powerful enough to push piloswine heavy body a few steps. This also grants claydol enough time to levitate in the air.

but this level of attack isn't enough to take down the swine Pokemon and Elsa orders," Ancient power"

The power erupts from Piloswine who is still under the flamethrower attack and hit the static Claydol.

This attack isn't much effective only disrupting the attack of Claydol but it was all Piloswine needs as he hit claydol with the full force of the body as Elsa next command is," Double-edge."

On hearing this command, Marian states, "If this attack hits then claydol is sure to fall. "

" Indeed Marian. A full force double edge from a Pokemon as bodily powerful as Piloswine can knock out most of the pokemons out there." Stain said as he too agrees with her.

With Alex and Julius,

" It seems your theory is wrong. She has easily taken down her opponent." Julius said to Alex happy at his highness upcoming victory as well as the possibility of Alex's prediction being wrong, for this will reassure him that he may have a chance of victory.

But Alex isn't affected and simply said," Look at Rosy."

" Hmm?" Julius didn't catch his meaning and he explains it to her," She doesn't seem to show any sign of distress even though her pokemon may lose this match. This can only mean two things, her next pokemon is powerful enough to turn things around and secondly, she still has a trick in her hands.

I personally think it is the second one. She is a pretty emotional girl who cannot hide her thoughts properly, for her actions reveal her true thoughts just like your princess Elsa.

Her next plan will be something interesting." He told Julius while mumbling to himself,' If the top 16 trainers in the league tournament are like her then there might be some merits in my participation of it. I really look forward to it. '

Although Julius wants to retort Alex's words, the fact that most of his prediction came out as true he fears it might be the case in this. So he held his tongue and continued to look at the match.

Back in the battlefield,

Piloswine is shocked by his sudden disappearance and crashed into a rock in front, reducing it to dust.

" Once again flamethrower." After this command, from his 10 o'clock direction a jet of flames stuck Piloswine.

" Oh ho ho, it seems this claydol knows teleport. This might put almost half of the future plans of Elsa on hold. " Stain comments.

Piloswine is in pain and anxiously attacks everything around him, but except for wasting energy, it has no effect.

" Hit the source of attack with ice beam" Elsa orders anxiously as the teleport makes things difficult for physical attacks to hit.

Even in pain, Piloswine hurls rock and ice beam at the origin, but claydol teleport away.

Although Piloswine tries to attack, not one of them hit the target.

This miffed Elsa who decides to take things at her hand.

Her eyes glowed with blue light, and she motions her hands while ordering," Use earthquake. " her little trick is ignored by most, but Alex and Julius who know her special talent noticed it.

Rosy laughed at her ," Did you not see my clay doll flying. These ground type moves have no effect."

As if luck is on Elsa's side, a boulder which is frozen by ice at its base rolls around and hit Claydol disrupting the attack and Piloswine used double edge.

This time he isn't given the time to dodge and crashed on the boulder. Piloswine body stuck to claydol ready to attack and not willing to give his opponent the chance to rise again.

Rosy knows what the last hit meant and she utters," give him a goodbye gift."

Claydol catches the meaning and uses an explosion, taking down Piloswine with him.

With Alex

" It seems your princess lost even with her, not so secret use of her special ability." Alex teases Julius.

"But she still manages to turn the tide of the battle. " Julius counters.

" she still hasn't won, has she? The snow princess needs to remember not to use her powers in events like these, for it makes her too incompetent. " Alex said, getting no retort in reply.

The commentator shouted excitedly," Folks it is a double knockout. It seems that Rosy doesn't want to make things easier for her opponent, even if she is going down."

Rosy has come down to her last Pokemon. Her claydol has defeated the last two Pokemons of Elsa alone,or to say it better Claydol explodes himself and takes down Elsa's Piloswine.

Both of the trainers are at their last Pokemon. Now it is all up to their last pokemons which may lead them to their respective victory.

The commentator's voice rang," The powerful-looking piloswine goes down under the explosion of Claydol's last attempt for victory. "

"Yes, Stain. And I am very excited to see who among these two will pass on to the round and reach the finals. The anticipation is killing me. Let's check out the final round."

And, everyone looks at the last pokemons that they released.

Rosy sent out a quadruple Pokemon with blue and black fur and spiky fur and a long tail with a star at it's peripheral. It is an electric type, Luxray.

Elsa unlike the ice Pokemon she revealed so far, sent her fire type pokemon, Blazikan.

Their next battle is between an electric, Luxray and a fire, fighting Pokemon, Blazikan.
