Bullying

This was something that Watson came to learn very quickly as his Manectric not only failed to do damage with the electric type moves that made up the majority of it's moveset but was getting beaten down by Rune as well. I didn't even need to call out any orders as Rune wasn't even out of breath by the time the Manectric had finally had enough and passed out. "What a nasty little trick , took away my specialty right from the get go. Looks like I need to get a bit serious then." Watson said still grinning.-

"Come on out , Magnezone!" Watson called as he sent out his second pokemon and I couldn't help but frown slightly at it. "barrier ball!" he then commanded immediately and I understood the annoying tactic behind this pokemons moves. Barrier was a psychic type move that raised defense by two stages and the move gyro ball was steel type and cost little energy to use so the idea was basically to pelt Rune until he went down while enduring everything he sent at it. 'Shit , Rune's totally countered here.' I thought and decisively chose to use one of my switches.-

Rune might have been able to win by hammering the floating space ship magnet looking thing repetitively while constantly using quick attack or double team to dodge. But on the same hand he would also get exhausted and probably quite beat up at the same time. Watson still had another two pokemon and one switch so rather than risk it I chose to send out Vulcan to force a shift in the battle. "Rune , return! Vulcan , set!" I said smoothly recalling Rune and sending out Vulcan at the same time. Vulcan as per usual fully released it's innate heat and suppressive aura as a legendary.-Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

Watsons grin vanished immediately and sweat appeared on his forehead as he felt the weight of a legendary that came for a fight fall on his shoulders. "Magnezone return! Show em what we trained for Lanturn!" Watson called as he used his switch to send out a pokemon I was expecting. While I knew that Watson had at least three electric type variants under his control I also knew that like all gym leaders who had a similar situation that those three were all elite level at minimum. This meant he needed a naturally dual type pokemon with electric type that could fight Vulcan with any chance to win and there were only three in the world.-

"Alright , I'll humor you but do try to give her a run for her money. she's been chafing at the bit to test her current limits in battle." I said with a smirk. "Wahaha! Lets see what she's made of then!" he said before sending out an Electivire with a bunch of fighting type moves. I nodded in appreciation of it as it was wonderfully trained but being held back from advancing on purpose. "Gaia , set!" I called and released her onto the field while recalling Vulcan who gave Watson a pitying look before it left.-

"TAAAAAAAAAR!" Gaia manifested out of the red light and roared so loudly that the ground shook and the Electivire trembled in fear. Vulcans presence was suppressive but Gaia's was downright tyrannical as her abilities kicked in and a violent sand storm covered the arena at once. "Dynamic punch!" Watson commanded and the Electivire obeyed if reluctantly. Neither I nor Gaia reacted to the attack coming at her with a bright clay red gleam. It looked like it was about to hit when Gaia side stepped out of the way and backhanded the Electivire with a ground type energy covered claw.-

"CRAACK!" the sound of the impact was heard clearly regardless of the howling sandstorm as her claw struck the poor electric type and sent it flying knocked the fuck out. Gaia returned to her original spot and merely stared at Watson smugly. "Wahaha! What a monster! You win lad I forfeit!" the old man said loudly and Gaia reined in her ability letting everyone see her clearly. She stood tall under the lights and cast an imposing figure before I recalled her.-

"You got me good lad , never would have seen that monster coming at your previous level. If you don't mind me asking does it have anything to do with ... that?" Watson asked while motioning to his left eye. I could appreciate that he was trying to be tactful about it but I wasn't some fragile flower that can't take a reminder of a bad experience. "No need to beat about the bush old man , I get reminded of it every moment so bringing it up in a conversation won't bother me any." I say with a shrug.
