Chapter 612: Axel Vs Roy

"Don\'t worry, we are going to win this. Just trust me on this, okay. We have done all the preparations that we could. There is no problem.", assured Axel to his Pokemon.

Since this was the first gym battle of the young Pokemons, they were nervous. Getting assured from Axel had helped them a lot.

He went down and ordered some light food for himself and his Pokemons.

"Don\'t worry kid, gym battles are not so tough. You should realize that we are stronger than normal Pokemons.", said Charizard to Togetic.

"Chuki.. Turrri" (Of course, I know that.)

Togetic didn\'t know that Charizard had not participated in a gym battle till now. However, Charizard was also not wrong about it. Axel\'s Pokemons were normally stronger than other trainers\' Pokemons. This was a fact and this was due to the system.

After eating a light breakfast, the team got ready for the gym battle. Axel wore his mask fake mustache, and bread and started to walk towards the gym.

As he entered the reception area, he showed his Pokecard for verification.

"Oh, good morning, Mr. Axel. Please wait in the waiting room. The crowd is going crazy. We wish to not disturb you. You can order any food that you want in the waiting area.", said the receptionist.

Axel followed the receptionist to the waiting room. The room was big enough for 4 people. There were couches and tables.

"Sir, the gym leader is very busy and would only meet you during the gym battle. You can order any food or drinks if you want.", said the receptionist.

"No, I would just like some quiet time.", replied Axel.

After that, the receptionist went to her own work. Axel realized that the Johto gym leaders didn\'t like him very much. During the Kanto region gym battles, the gym leader would come to the waiting room to introduce himself. But Roy didn\'t think to do that. He was getting arrogant and Axel was getting impatient.

Before, Axel just wanted the gym badges of the Johto region for his career. Now, he wanted to crush all the gym leaders of the Johto region. Roy was the father of Falkner who would be the gym leader in the games. He didn\'t know if the son had arrived in this world as the guy was very young but he didn\'t care.

In the games, this would be the first gym battle and it would be a very easy one too but Axel knew that such would not be the case here. Roy would be coming with all the things that he had got and it would not be pleasant.

###

After waiting for almost 45 minutes, the receptionist came again to invite Axel to the gym battle.

"Sir, are you ready for the challenge?"

"Yes, I was born ready.", said Axel with arrogance. The receptionist could also feel that Axel was getting angry but she could not do anything.

She then guided Axel to the stadium for the gym battle.

###

"Ladies and Gentlemen. I am Rabin and I will be your host today. Today we have an interesting gym battle or rather the challenger is interesting. He is famous all over the world, he is the successor of the Pokemon master and is very famous in the Kanto region.

Now, he has come up to the Johto region to prove himself. Let\'s welcome our challenger for tonight, Axel Blaze."

Axel came to the stage. There were some cheers from the crowd but most of them were boos. Axel was not from the Johto region so that was expected but this still made him even more irritated. He was going to show these people what he was made of.

"Now, we have the gym leader of the Violet City. You all know who he is and he has been in our hearts for a long time. Let\'s welcome Roy Falkner."

The crowd erupted after hearing Roy\'s name. Most of them stood up to greet Roy as he walked with a smile waving his hand to the crowd. Axel could feel that Roy was well-liked in his town. He knew that Roy was not as strong as Kent or Morgan but he was still a gym leader.

"Before the start of the battle, let me tell you the rules of this gym battle.

This is a 3 VS 3 Pokemons gym battle. Only the challenger could change his Pokemons during the battle. If the battle ends in a draw, the challenger will be considered victorious. Since this is the first gym of the challenger, the gym leader could only use Pokemons of the rare rank category. The gym leader and the challenger could not use any items during the gym battle. Gym leader would take out his Pokemons first.

These are the rules of the gym battle. Are you both ready for the battle?"

"Yes, I am.", said Roy.

"Yes, I am.", said Axel too.

"Gym leader is requested to send out his first Pokemon.", said Rabin.

"Come out Murkrow!!", shouted Roy as he threw the master ball in the air.

"MuRk roowwww!!!", shouted the Pokemon as it started to fly around the stadium.

The stadium was normal. It was big with a Poke ball sign in the middle and there were multiple pointy rocks on the ground.

"Come out, Gary.", said Axel, and Primeape came to the stage.

Roy was evaluating Primeape as Axel was looking at Murkrow. The evolution of Murkrow had not been found till now as no-one had ever thought to use Dusk stone on it. Dusk stone was relatively hard to find and were rare in the market.

"Roy, can I call out one of my Pokemons to watch the battle? It is very interested in see this gym battle."

"Of course, I have no problem with it unless it is not participating in this gym battle."

"Don\'t worry it is not.", said Axel and threw another ball in the air.

ROOOOARRRR

The crowd got silent when Charizard entered the field. The heat of the stadium increased to a high degree and all of them started to sweat. No one had thought that Axel had a king-rank Pokemon with him.

"Charles, control your aura.", said Axel.

"Oh, ok father.", said Charizard as the heat immediately disappeared.

Everyone could tell that this was a king-rank Pokemon and it was very powerful. Roy was cursing himself for allowing it. Actually, he didn\'t have the authority to stop it as this was not in the rules.

Axel took out Charizard to show these people what he was made of and how capable of a trainer he really was. The boos from the crowd were starting to hurt his ears.

Axel looked at the stats of Murkrow:

---

---

The Pokemon was okay but it was not so impressive. Axel believed that with his plan, Primeape could defeat this Pokemon.

"Are you both ready for battle?", asked the referee.

Both of them nodded their head.

"Let the battle begin!!!", shouted the referee.

"Murkrow, use \'Mean look\'", said Roy.

"Gary, use \'Focus energy\'", said Axel.

Axel found out that if Primeape used \'Focus energy\' 30 minutes before, and when it used it again, it could reach the focus state much faster. So, when he was in the waiting room, he had already told Primeape to use this move. He was sure to use Primeape as his first Pokemon.

\'Mean look\' would make the target unable to switch. Roy felt that he needed to defeat Primeape first and show others that Axel was nothing. Unfortunately, Axel was not thinking of switching the Pokemon.

"Murkrow, now use \'Wing attack\'"

"Gary, start with \'Fire punch\'"

The wings of Murkrow glowed and it became ready to strike Primeape with its wings. It flew high in the air and then dived down towards Primeape to use the move.

Primeape was also concentrating on Murkrow. Actually, Primeape was at a disadvantage as it was on the ground and Murkrow could fly. However, after seeing the flying capabilities, Axel could tell that Murkrow didn\'t have very good speed. It was decent but it was not as good as Pidgeot.

Axel was using \'Aura sense\' to calculate the timing.

"NOW, do it!!!", shouted Axel.

Both of the moves clashed and both of them were thrown off by each other\'s attack.

"Murkrow, use \'Hurricane\' and then use \'Drill peck\'", shouted Roy.

"Gary, first use \'Focus blast\' then activate \'Close combat\'", said Axel.

The \'Hurricane\' was massive as the winds started to blow and then started to move towards Primeape.

Primeape used \'Focus blast\' on \'Hurricane\' and due to using \'Focus energy\' first, it was able to totally cancel the move but Murkrow was ready to use \'Drill peck\'.

Primeape was weak against flying type. So, Axel didn\'t want it to be hit by the attack. This was also one of the reasons that Roy was not so flustered and wanted to first finish Primeape. That was why he had told Murkrow to use \'Mean look\'.

Primeape used a combination of all the fighting-type moves to counter the move. Since the move was above level 40, it had become very deadly.

The battle went on for 4 minutes and Murkrow was winning the battle. Roy could still see that Axel was very calm. He was not liking it one bit so he wanted to finish the battle as soon as he could.

Axel was waiting for the right moment and the moment had come.

"Murkrow, use \'Feather dance\'."

\'Feather dance\' would decrease the attack of the target by 2 stages. Murkrow started some weird dance and Primeape was enveloped by a blue glow of light. It had taken effect.

However,

ROOOAORRR

Primeape gave a huge roar and came out looking even stronger. Primeape had activated his hidden ability \'Defiant\' which increased the attack of the user very highly when it was hit by a stat-lowering move.

Now, didn\'t Roy know about the hidden ability of Primeape? Of course, he did but he didn\'t think that the rare rank Pokemon would have enough mastery of hidden ability to activate it.

However, Roy was wrong. Primeape had trained in this hidden ability for a whole week and it had improved it to 65% and now it had been activated.

"Gary, now use \'Focus punch\'", said Axel.

The time for \'Focus energy\' was going to be over, so he needed to end this battle fast.

The move connected and Murkrow was not injured. The move was very powerful.

Roy realized that Murkrow may lose this battle. He wanted it to use \'Perish song\' but that would take a lot of time to be activated. If he had told it to use the move at the start of the battle, then he may have some change.

So, his solution was to go all offensive in the battle.

"Murkrow, use \'Tail wind\' again and then use the move \'Wing attack\'"

"Gary defend that hit.", shouted Axel.

Murkrow hit Primeape with a powerful \'Wing attack\' but Primeape took that hit. Axel had already told it to use the move \'Counter\' by that time.

"Now, finish it with \'Thunder punch\'"

BANG!!!!

"NO!!!", shouted Roy as Murkrow was thrown off to the ground. It had fainted.

\'Counter\' would double the attack power if the user was hit by a physical move. With the activation of the hidden ability and \'Counter\' and \'Thunder punch\' which Murkrow was weak against, it had no chance to stand up again.

Axel had hidden the moves \'Counter\' and \'Thunder punch\' and not told Primeape to use them during the battle. He wanted to surprise Roy and boy he was surprised.
