The sudden changing situation of the battle was quite attractive to everyone.
To the young and rookie trainers who don't have enough experience under their belt, they are of the opinion that this battle was a close one. They both had equal chances of victory. It was very exciting and Alex lucked out in the end.
"This battle was so cool. It would be better if we can have a closer view of this match." A young trainer m_o_a_n_e_d at the fact they are too far from the battle.
"Don't expect too much. It is already great. We both are new trainers. We even have the opportunity to see such an epic battle on our first day is already very lucky. Don't get too greedy. Controlling once emotions is a prerequisite for a great trainer." His friend by his side reminds his friend. He was teasing his friend's over enthusiasm.
"Just you wait, I will become as strong, no stronger than them and put you on your place. " he challenged his friend and promised a future beat down.
His friend's reply was a snort.
An older trainer heard their talks and mumbled, "If everyone can be as strong as them, won't there be a monster everywhere."
The kids see the world differently and the a_d_u_l_ts see things in a different view from that of a kid.
Such is also the case here, for young trainers and kids, they felt it was a close battle, on the other hand, the experienced people like the spies of Team Magma, Team Aqua and other organizations, and the veteran trainers, they saw a completely different scenario.
They saw that from the very beginning Alex has the match in his grasp. Every single move that Wallace used was countered by Alex before they can even reach the target. Every move was carefully utilized to his advantage. Not a single move was effective.
So far only some ice pieces pelted Tentacruel body and its tentacles froze.
Throughout the battle, Wallace was put in a back foot and countered before he can gain an upper hand in the entire battle.
With Alex's friend and Steven,
" Alex is still as cruel as ever," Julius mumbled under his breath but they heard him clearly.
After watching his battle with Princess Elsa as well as how unharmed his pokemon were after the attack, he was once again reminded of the gap between their strength.
He is on a whole different level from him. Against him, Julius has only one feeling he is looking at the bottomless abyss.
" Of course, what do you expect? In a battle you can expect mercy from anybody but Alex. He will not hold back even if it is someone he knows. He will make his Pokemon hold back some of their strength to a certain level but he will not restrain their battle style." Bill muttered softly when he heard Julius calling Alex cruel.
" I know right. He feels it is insulting if he doesn't give it his all in a battle. He can make his pokemon limit his strength but he will not limit their skills. " Elsa spoke out with a pout on her face.
" He is a heartless guy in a battle. I think he is a sadist, he enjoys making his opponents suffer a tragedy in the battle. " Cynthia added her opinion and was in complete agreement with them.
Steven sweatdrops on seeing everyone target Alex's battle style. He doesn't see anything which could resemble what they spoke in this battle. He felt they might be exaggerating things.
He asked confused, "Aren't you a bit too much? He hasn't shown anything which can prove what you all said. Aren't you afraid he will return and get back at you?" After all, if he was in Alex position he will teach them manners about not to talk behind his back.
Elsa replied as if she wasn't afraid of his anger, " He won't be angry. He is like this. As long as we don't insult his pokemons or family he will just laugh and leave things be. He isn't affected by these small talks. Hell, he will join us in his own mockery if he was here."she laughed at the end.
Then she added with a serious look, "In a battle, he is anything but kind. It was just the beginning. Alex was testing Wallace strength. From now onwards, he is going to crush him. Though he won't go all out." She said in the end while looking towards the crowd who are watching the match.
' With so many spies here trying to gather his intel, it is a priority to hide as much strength as possible about himself and his pokemons.' Steven thought to himself.
" I guess he is something and our time here won't be a complete waste." One spy muttered under his breath so as not to attract much attention to himself.
Back in the battlefield,
Wallace was surprised by the sudden change of events. His whiscash was destroyed even before an attack can hit tentacruel. He didn't stand a chance against Alex.
Wallace know just how strong his Whiscash really is. To defeat him so quickly one needs great strength, which the simple ice crash cannot give. There are other things at play. He mutters softly "It seems it will be a tough battle. I shouldn't give up this easily. Even if you are stronger, I will make you work hard for the next victory."
He pulled out his next Pokeball and shouted, " Go Crawdaunt"
It declared its presence by a loud" Craw" and clicked his claws which can even crush boulders easily. Very few pokemons can withstand the force of these pincer claws.
Crawdaunt is a primarily red, crustacean Pokémon with a tan underside. It has circular eyes set in deep sockets and a large, star-shaped growth on its forehead. The upper and lower halves of its underside. It has circular eyes set in deep sockets and a large, star-shaped growth on its forehead. The upper and lower halves of its underside are separated by a pattern of angular red shapes, and there are two blue stripes on its throat.
Its forelimbs have two large pincers with spiked edges and tan lower halves form. There are two sets of hind limbs. The foremost pair are simple claws with two spikes, while the rear pair are large and thick with two white claws. A yellow triangle marks the base of its lobster-like tail.
"Now it will be a tough one." He mumbled. He felt it will be a tough battle but not enough for him to worry too much.
" Use bubblebeam." Alex took the initiative to attack in this battle, which Wallace countered, "Bubblebeam, Crawdaunt use it to counter them and set the battlefield."
Both sent out bubblebeam which are eradicated in the middle. Not one bubble has managed to pass through and touch the other. They all are equal in terms of power and skill in utilizing the water attack this round of exchange.
