Chapter 499: Gravity

Chapter 499: Gravity Angry Chimecho vigorously shook its body, realizing it was still tightly restricted by the Trick Room. Its eyes began to emit a continuous stream of purple light, and the psychic energy in the air responded to Chimecho's call, growing increasingly volatile.

The purple radiance spread gradually from Chimecho's eyes to its entire body. As Chimecho emitted a series of urgent chimes, a purple ring expanded within the Trick Room.

The moment all the Pokémon were caught within the purple ring, they felt as though a tremendous weight pressed them down, causing them to collapse to the ground. Even the Aromatisse, which had been flying in the air, was forcefully brought to the ground.

Not only the enemy Aromatisse and Mawile but even the friendly Breloom found themselves pinned down. Breloom seemed bewildered by the situation.

As Aromatisse and Mawile struggled vigorously under the oppressive gravity, especially the physically robust Mawile, which used its powerful jaws to upheave chunks of soil from the ground.

At this point, Chimecho had expanded its gravity field to the maximum extent, but even Chimecho couldn't finely control its effects within this field, inadvertently affecting Breloom, its ally.

Watching this scene unfold, Valerie was momentarily stunned. They had been in control just moments ago, but now the situation had abruptly shifted.

"Mawile, Aromatisse, calm down," Valerie shouted, frowning as they watched the struggling Pokémon within the gravitational field.

Valerie was well aware that in this situation, struggling would only deplete their strength, and the exhaustion might overcome Aromatisse and Mawile before Chimecho and Breloom even had to intervene.

Brawly, standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but silently applaud Chimecho's ingenuity. Just a while ago, Brawly had been racking their brain trying to figure out how to deal with the Aromatisse and Mawile in the Trick Room, and now Chimecho had turned the tables on them.

"Mawile, use Taunt," Valerie commanded once they saw that Aromatisse and Mawile were calming down. Valerie wanted to use Taunt to seal Chimecho's gravity skill.

Valerie's Aromatisse possessed Magic Bounce, so they weren't worried about counter-Trick Room tricks. In the beginning, Valerie hadn't let Mawile use Taunt against Yuga's Chimecho and Brawly's Breloom, but she hadn't anticipated the strength of Chimecho's gravity field.

However, Mawile's Taunt skill wasn't as proficient as Aromatisse's Trick Room. Even if Mawile wanted to use it at the beginning, Yuga and Chimecho wouldn't have let it happen.

Of course, facing the overpowering gravity imposed by Chimecho, Yuga knew that his Chimecho could not grant such permission to Breloom now. Sёarch* The Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Chimecho, use Uproar," Yuga instructed. Previously, when Chimecho used the gravity field, it couldn't smoothly execute other skills. However, it was no longer an issue.

Following Yuga's command, Chimecho swayed its lower body, opened its small mouth, and sent out rings of energy formed from sound waves, creating a deafening noise that assaulted Mawile.

Just as Mawile was about to use Taunt, the noise pierced through its ears, disrupting its concentration and causing its Taunt ability to fizzle.

"Aromatisse, Aromatherapy; Mawile, Iron Defense," Valerie ordered when they saw that Aromatisse and Mawile were no longer struggling. Aromatisse would enhance their team's special defense, while Mawile would boost its physical defense.

Meanwhile, Brawly's Breloom, still immobilized by Chimecho's gravity field, remained unable to make any significant impact on the situation.

The audience watching from the sidelines could see Yuga and Chimecho's valiant battle against Aromatisse and Mawile. Chimecho's mastery of the gravity field showcased Yuga's true strength.

On this side, Aromatisse and Mawile continued to reinforce their special defense and physical defense. Yuga and Chimecho initiated a counterattack against them, directing shadow balls like projectiles towards Aromatisse and Mawile.

Chimecho's attack frequency was exceptionally high, and Aromatisse and Mawile couldn't keep up with their defensive enhancements. Soon, both Pokémon were covered in wounds.

Seeing the situation escalate, Valerie finally realized that maintaining the Trick Room offered no benefit to their side. So they quickly shouted to Aromatisse, "Aromatisse, use Sweet Kiss."

At that moment, the time limit of the Trick Room expired. The blue space enveloping the battlefield shattered instantly, dissolving into sparkling particles in the air.

Without paying attention to the vanishing Trick Room, Aromatisse struck a cute pose, and pink hearts flew towards Chimecho.

Seeing the incoming hearts, Chimecho tried to dodge, but there were too many Angel's Kisses to evade, leaving Chimecho in a state of confusion.

"Chimecho, use Safeguard," Yuga prompted at the crucial moment.

Hearing Yuga's voice, Chimecho quickly regained its composure. A green arched barrier shielded them from the incoming hearts. However, the time limit on the gravity ability finally expired, causing all the Pokémon on the field to feel a sudden relief.

At this point, the long-suppressed Mawile immediately used its Play Rough skill and charged towards Chimecho. Chimecho, which had been guarding against Aromatisse, couldn't react in time to defend itself.

However, as Mawile regained its freedom, Brawly's Breloom was also liberated. It launched a powerful Sky Uppercut at the charging Mawile.

After a brief clash, both Pokémon retreated to their respective sides, glaring at each other menacingly.

Meanwhile, Chimecho, which had blocked Aromatisse's Sweet Kisses, hurled numerous shadow balls at Aromatisse. Aromatisse, without the speed boost from the Trick Room, struggled to evade Chimecho's attacks and resorted to using Light Screen to defend itself.

However, Chimecho's shadow balls were too numerous, and before long, Aromatisse couldn't hold up any longer. Cracks began to appear in its Light Screen, and with a final explosive burst, it shattered into energy fragments. The overwhelmed Aromatisse descended gently from the sky, losing its combat capability.

Valerie never expected Chimecho, an auxiliary-type Pokémon, to exhibit such formidable attacking power under Yuga's command. Even with Aromatisse's prior special defense enhancement from Aromatherapy, it was effortlessly defeated. Both Chimecho and Aromatisse followed similar support paths, but Chimecho possessed attacking capabilities that far exceeded Aromatisse's.

With Aromatisse's support gone, Mawile found itself isolated. Mawile, despite its excellent resistances, lacked outstanding attributes in many other aspects. Without proper tactical support or sufficient training, it was challenging for Mawile to demonstrate its full combat potential unless it underwent Mega Evolution.

Soon, Mawile fell to the joint efforts of Chimecho and Breloom, unable to offer any resistance.

Chimecho hardly needed to get involved physically, focusing on providing ample defense for Breloom, while Breloom engaged in close-quarters combat. Both were melee-type Pokémon, and they resolved their issues with punches.

However, Breloom had the additional support of Chimecho's defense, making Mawile's attacks largely ineffective. It quickly succumbed to Breloom's power.
