Chapter 51: Satoshi VS Takeshi
(Third update, new book seeks collection and flowers!!)
“Go, Eevee!!”
Satoshi sent out Eevee to start the battle. The Poké Ball flew out, making a "bang" sound as a blue light enveloped the field, and Eevee appeared in the center.
“Eevee, huh? Don’t hold back, you go first!” Takeshi looked at the Eevee in the field and then spoke to Satoshi. As a gym trainer, he usually lets the challenger make the first move.
“I won’t hold back, Eevee, use Quick Attack!”
Satoshi didn’t hold back either and immediately gave Eevee a command. Eevee charged forward after hearing the order, then jumped into the air. It tilted its head and released its move toward the bottom, golden stars continuously fell from the sky like meteors toward the direction of the Geodude.
“It seems you don’t understand Pokémon types well. There’s no need to avoid this attack, Geodude, block it!”
Rock and ground-type Pokémon are known for their strong defenses, and Geodude is no exception. Normal-type moves can only inflict limited damage to Geodude.
Geodude heard the order, and without dodging, crossed its arms, which were completely made of rock, blocking its entire body.
Bang bang bang bang!!!
Quick Attack strikes landed, repeatedly impacting Geodude’s body and the surrounding ground. Explosions created smoke, the surroundings were enveloped in smoke, and Eevee’s body fell from the air.
Takeshi still looked at the field in front of him with no expression, not showing any signs of worry. His Geodude wasn’t so easily defeated. The smoke gradually dissipated, and Takeshi seized the opportunity.
“Now it’s our turn, Geodude use… uh?? What?!”
As the smoke dissipated, Takeshi was about to launch an attack, but he didn’t see Eevee’s figure in the field, so he instinctively looked around.
“Go, Eevee!!” Satoshi didn’t give Takeshi much time to react.
Boom!!!!
As the sound fell, a loud explosion echoed through the field. The ground shattered, and Eevee’s figure shot out from the ground, directly carrying the force of the earth’s eruption to ram into Geodude.
Bang!!!
At the moment the attack hit Geodude, the enormous force directly sent Geodude flying, Quick Attack couldn’t cause much damage to Geodude, but the ground-type Dig was different.
Although Geodude is a ground-type Pokémon itself, ground-type moves can still deal double damage to it.
Geodude was sent flying by the hit, crashing against the rock behind it, and the entire field erupted in a loud boom.
“Yay! As expected of Satoshi.” Kasumi was a bit excited to see this. At first, she was worried that Satoshi would be unprepared for his first gym challenge, but now it seemed she didn’t have to worry.
At this moment, neither Kasumi who was watching the battle nor Satoshi and Takeshi who were fighting, noticed that a pair of eyes was watching the match from the skylight on the wall.
And on the second floor of the gym, several kids walked out from the audience seats, quietly looking down at the battlefield below.
“Someone’s coming to challenge again!” The kids whispered to each other, cautiously watching the field.
“Who do you think will win?”
“Dumb, it goes without saying, of course, brother will win!!” The kids on the second floor whispered and discussed, but they were very confident in Takeshi.
“Okay, stop talking. Brother doesn’t allow us to run around the gym without permission.” At this time, the oldest of the kids, who looked about seven or eight years old.
But he seemed to have a sense of composure, he was seriously watching the field and immediately stopped his brothers and sisters from arguing.
It was clear that he had some authority among the kids. Hearing his words, the other brothers and sisters stopped talking and began to focus on the match.
On the field
“He really knows his stuff, but it won’t be so easy from now on.” Takeshi didn’t dare to underestimate Satoshi after seeing Geodude being knocked away.
“That’s what makes it fun!”
“Geodude, use Megaton Punch!” This time Takeshi launched the attack first, although the ground-type move was very effective just now, after all, the Pokémon of a gym trainer is not so easily defeated.
Geodude slammed back from the rock, clenching its fists, orange light instantly emitted from its fists, it swung its heavy fist toward Eevee’s direction.
“Use Dig!!”
Eevee!!!!
Eevee reacted quickly, leaped, and charged into the ground, digging a hole in an instant and diving in. Geodude’s fist swung through and slammed into the rock behind it.
Boom!!!
The power of the heavy punch instantly shattered the rock, but Eevee dodged it. Takeshi’s expression stiffened.
“The same move won’t work twice, Geodude, rise into the air!!” Seeing Satoshi’s old tricks, Takeshi immediately gave the order.
Geodude’s body instantly rose from the ground, toward the sky, and reached high up. Even if Eevee had strong jumping ability, when it jumped out of the ground, Geodude would have enough time to react.
Seeing this, Satoshi wanted to rant. Who can’t fly? It’s not a Flying-type, it doesn’t have wings, and it can fly, are you kidding me Old Man Kojiro?!?!
Bang!!!
Eevee quickly emerged from the ground, obviously unable to launch an effective attack because Geodude was in the air, and Takeshi took the opportunity to attack.
“Geodude use Tackle!”
“That’s what I was waiting for, Eevee use Sand-Attack!” However, Satoshi didn’t attack this time, he changed his strategy and gave Eevee a new order.
Eevee!!!
Eevee heard the order, swung its huge tail, and swept across the ground. A gust of yellow sand rose and flew directly toward the sky. Geodude was falling from the air and was directly covered in sand.
Ugh!!
Geodude’s face was covered with a lot of sand, its vision was instantly hindered, and its body stopped. It used its hands to rake its face trying to get rid of the sand.
“What?!” Takeshi didn’t expect Satoshi to have this trick up his sleeve.
“It’s over!! Eevee use Iron Tail!!”
“Iron Tail? Damn it!! Geodude, dodge!” Hearing Satoshi’s final instruction, Takeshi cursed and yelled to the field.
