A gentle breeze blew, and the sun was just right.
At this moment, on a battlefield in the ninja school, Natsui and Aya stood on opposite sides, looking at each other from a distance.
Seeing that he was ready, Aya said flatly, "How do you want to fight? One round to decide the winner? Or a battle to the end, until the last Pokémon?"
Although she was the one who had proposed this match, she didn't want people to think that she was using her position to bully him. Therefore, regarding the rules, she thought it was best for Natsui to propose them, so that it would seem fairer.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Natsui threw the question back at her. "I'm fine with anything. You can set the rules."
Tsk! He's so infuriating!
Does he think he can beat me for sure?
Seeing Natsui's composed look, Aya snorted inwardly. She had already made up her mind to defeat this man, and now, seeing him so nonchalant, she secretly swore to go all out, to let this guy see the results of her hard training at this ninja school during this time.
I won't be defeated by you so easily again, like last time and the time before that. And this time, there won't be any meddlesome samurai or Jigglypuff to interfere with us.
With this thought, she took a deep breath, suppressed her impatience, and then said, "Then let's have a three-on-three battle. Both sides will send out their Pokémon at the same time. Whoever's Pokémon is the last one standing will be the victor."
"Sure."
Natsui shrugged, having no objections.
In fact, it wasn't that he was underestimating Aya. But to avoid defeat, and to completely get rid of this woman's entanglement, he had already decided to use his main lineup. And with them on the field, Natsui didn't think he would lose.
Due to their special status, this battle was naturally refereed by the headmaster.
When both contestants had taken out their first Poké Ball, he directly swung down his arm.
"The first battle—begin!"
As the headmaster's final syllable ended, Natsui and Aya simultaneously threw their Poké Balls. As two blue lights faded, one large and one medium-sized Pokémon appeared on the field at the same time.
The Pokémon Aya sent out was a Muk. The moment it appeared, everyone near the battlefield was hit by a pungent stench.
The smell was like a long-neglected sewer, making one want to gag.
And Muk's opponent was a dragon-like Pokémon, flapping its wings in mid-air, its eyes full of battle intent.
Needless to say, it was Natsui's Charizard.
As a pure Poison-type Pokémon, Natsui was not surprised that Aya had sent it out.
After all, as the younger sister of the Poison-type Gym Leader, Koga, Aya was also proficient in Poison-type Pokémon. And the Poison-type Pokémon of the Kanto and Johto regions were only of a few types, so Natsui could roughly guess who she would send out.
Perhaps in her eagerness to defeat Natsui, as soon as the two Pokémon appeared, Aya directly ordered an attack.
"Muk! Use Sludge Bomb!"
Muk pulled out a ball of unknown slime from its body and threw it at the Charizard in the air. But how could such an attack possibly hit a flying Pokémon?
Charizard just had to rise slightly in altitude to easily dodge the ball of slime.
The slime flew in an arc through the air, then exploded, the liquid splashing everywhere but not affecting Charizard at all.
Looking at Aya, although her move had missed, she didn't seem to care much.
Hmph, it was just a probing attack. If Charizard had been defeated by a Sludge Bomb, that would have really surprised her.
On the other side, before Charizard could steady itself, Natsui also shouted, "Our turn to counterattack! Charizard, use Flamethrower!"
Hearing Natsui's command, Charizard dived, flew above Muk, and opened its mouth wide. The next second, a ball of scorching fire spewed out from its mouth.
The Flamethrower flew towards Muk like a large net.
Aya's eyes narrowed. She knew that with Muk's slow speed, it was impossible for it to dodge this flame. Therefore, she didn't hesitate and directly chose another method.
"Quick, use Acid Armor!"
Just as the Flamethrower was about to envelop Muk, its body seemed to melt into a puddle of sludge, changing its shape. In the process, it suddenly became shorter and quickly flowed to the side.
Originally, Charizard's Flamethrower had been aimed at Muk's body. Now that Muk had suddenly changed its shape, although the range of the flame was very wide and still burned a part of its body, it was still a far cry from what Natsui had expected.
At the very least, after the flames disappeared, Muk didn't seem to have taken much damage.
Acid Armor…
Natsui stroked his chin.
To be honest, he rarely used this move himself, so he didn't know much about it. He only knew that it was a move that temporarily raised the user's defense, and was generally used by soft-bodied Pokémon.
Now it seemed that because it already had a relatively outstanding defense, after using this move, Muk had withstood the Flamethrower without taking any effective damage.
It seems Aya has really grown a lot. No wonder she's so confident.
But…
She's not the only one who has grown.
"Charizard, use Fire Spin!"
Charizard gathered its energy again. And this time, because the move was different, if Muk couldn't dodge in time and still wanted to use the same trick of defending with Acid Armor, it would definitely be surrounded by continuous flames.
Aya naturally also saw Natsui's intention.
But although Muk was a good fighter on the ground, its lack of effective movement options also made it a sitting duck.
She could only have Muk spew out a Smog, trying to neutralize the Fire Spin.
Muk opened its mouth, and a turbid, foul-smelling gas surged towards the Fire Spin.
When the two moves collided, it was unknown what substance the gas contained, but the flames of the Fire Spin actually ignited the entire Smog.
Like a dust explosion, most of the field burst into flames for a moment, but was quickly extinguished.
Seeing this result, Aya looked at Natsui provocatively and couldn't help but laugh.
Well? I'm not the same person I was before.
Glancing at Aya, Natsui was completely unconcerned.
Although he hadn't expected the flames to ignite the gas and thus neutralize Charizard's attack, in a battle, one could never be careless.
Just like now, while Aya was feeling smug, Charizard's next attack was already brewing.
"Charizard, use Air Slash!"
Hearing Natsui's command, Aya was suddenly startled.
But in the blink of an eye, two crescent-shaped air blades, glowing with a moon-white light, shot across the field and slashed hard into Muk's body.
