I walked across the bridge, looking down at the devastated ice field under me. Well, after the battle with almost all the ice broken, this is more like an ice lake to me. Everything sparkles beautifully under the lights of projectors. Reminds me of the Articuno`s nest…
But then suddenly the loud noise of engines distracted me. The stadium began to shake and… tribunes with people began to move. They relocated to the second battlefield even before me! Seems like someone doesn`t want to spend money on solid and universal battlegrounds – it is much better to spend money of freaking moving tribunes! Oh, logic, logic… where are you?
Well, now the road led me to the intersection point where I can take a short break and heal all my pokemon. So I released all my battlers and began to spray them with hyper potions I have in my pockets.
Finished with the preparations, I looked at the gate before me. What awaits me here? The previous trainer I saw on TV yesterday didn`t even make it past Lorelei, so the second of Elite Four wasn`t shown at all. That means I`m going completely blind now. I have no idea what type specialist it may be…
Let`s find out then!
As I entered the second stadium, it reminded me of Brock`s gym. The vast field of sand and rocks. The ground is all twisted and cracked after numerous and definitely destructive battles. Some stone pillars were placed around the place, marking the territory. They look really solid, if they survived everything happening here. This is going to be interesting.
"And now our challenger is ready to proceed!" The commentator greeted me on the next field, and the viewers cheered me with loud applauds.
I smiled a bit and made a step on the challenger`s position. The opposing side began to move with a big dude appearing. He was sitting on the elevator turned around, while it brought him to the surface, but when the mechanism stopped, the man remained still. Was he… meditating?
As I could see, he was only in some pants. Wide muscular body immediately gave me the idea that he may be a fighter himself, so… it`s a fighting type specialist.
"I am Bruno of the Elite Four!" He suddenly shouted and turned his gaze to me. "Through rigorous training, people and Pokémon can become stronger without limit…"
He began to get up, taking a normal battle position, but looking straight down. The row of five pokeballs could be seen on his belt. "I've lived and trained with my fighting Pokémon! And that will never change!"
With a sharp move he looked at me brutally, staring right into my soul.
"Challenger Vengeance! We will grind you down with our superior power! Hoo hah!" With his mighty but weird greeting he smacked his bare chest with fists and cried out loudly before furiously throwing his first pokeball down the field and release… an Onix?
Well, that is strange. I expected to see some fighting type… He himself said to live with fighting Pokemon! And yet he battles with Onix. Still, we can handle this.
"Harry, let`s go!" I sent our my scarred Victreebel.
"So, the Pokemon League challenge for Vengeance continues with the battle against the Elite Four Bruno!" The commentator loudly announced before giving his mark. "Begin!"
"Use Razor Leaf, Harry!" I gave the command.
"Rock Tomb, Onix!" The rude voice of Bruno ordered.
Somehow our pokemon were almost perfectly matched in speed, but my partner managed to strike a bit earlier than Onix, still getting a strong boulder that kicked him away and hurt the bottom of his body. This move always targets the motion systems…
"Let`s try to slow him down too! Razor Leaf, just aim at his tail!"
"He-he… Meanwhile we use Iron Tail!" Bruno countered us.
Onix empowered his tail with silver steel glow and crushed my Harry even before he managed to launch his attack. This also made Victreebel to lose his aim at the opponent and miss his attack – just a few of leaves actually reached the target.
Okay, this opponent is really strong. Maybe we should try another tactic?
"Harry, Position yourself!" I said to my pokemon pointing at the closest column.
"Onix, use Earthquake!"
The rock snake pokemon jumped up and crashed on the ground, sending the powerful wave that cracked the floor beneath him. Harry quickly headed the heck away from it, until the shock wave reached the column and shook it. Victreebel barely kept on it and got on the top of it, awaiting for the next order.
"Now… Slingshot maneuver!"
Harry jumped off the column and tried to get a grip on Onixes` head.
"Wha… Stop it! Iron Tail!" A bit confused, Bruno counterattacked.
Onix tried to launch his strong tail at us, but clearly missed and made a big swing with his head and Harry hanging on it. This even helped my pokemon to get a better stretch and then – even stronger hit when the slingshot worked. Onix had to bend back after the punch, while Harry jumped back on another column.
"This is something you don`t see every day!" The host admired your move. "The pokemon launching itself from… itself! This trainer definitely has a style!"
Heh, you can`t even imagine what else I`ve got…
"Use Razor Leaf!"
"Rock Tomb!"
Both pokemon shot their projectiles at each other, making the stream of leaves strike the huge boulder right in the air, so the mixed pile of crushed rock and grass compensated each other`s power and fell down on the ground.
The fighters battle for too long already and start to feel tired. The huge Onix needs more power to support his body, so he is much closer to the end than Victreebel.
"Razor Leaf, one more time!"
"No way you can defeat us! Onix, use Iron Tail!"
And so the huge rock snake pokemon raised his glowing tail and smashed the floor beneath my Victreebel, sending him into a ground pit… just to get a nice and strong stream of sharp leaves right from this very pit and roar from extreme pain. Just some more moments… and the giant was finally defeated.
"Onix is unable to battle, Victreebel wins this round!" The amazed voice of commentator announced the results.
"I don`t feel great strength in you, kid…" Bruno darky said and returned his fallen pokemon. I was honestly confused, not understanding whether I do not like his tone or the fact that he has just called me a kid. "Tricks won`t always help you. The strongest pokemon always win! I`ll show you. Go, Hitmonchan!"
The next pokemon appeared to be a humanoid punching pokemon. A small brown guy in short skirt and with gloves-like hands.
"Okay, Harry, get out of here!" I said to my pokemon while returning him back. On the field with this huge hole we can definitely use someone flying… "Dumpling, take the stage!"
I thought that the appearance of a pokemon with type advantage will scare Bruno, but instead he just smiled even wider.
"Hitmonchan, use Rock Tomb!" He commanded.
Crap! An extremely effective move! How comes the fighting pokemon knows a rock-type move? Well… Why do I even still surprise?
"Smokescreen, Dumpling, quick!"
I hope we can spoil his accuracy before he deals us the real damage. Charizard understood my strategy and quickly shot a cloud of dark smoke into the opponent… that literally stood like nothing. Usually opponents lose vision or try to protect their eyes from the veil, but this one didn`t care about it at all. He just crushed the ground under him with his mighty fist, taking a pretty large piece of rocky ground, and hurled it at my Dumpling. This hit my pokemon pretty bad, already hurting his wings and pulling the initiative to the opponent`s side.
The beginning isn`t really good. Our advantage in type immediately turned into a huge disadvantage and blocked nearly half of our best maneuvers. Yeah, this is Elite Four all right. Deal with it, Vengeance.
"Let`s do it again, Hitmonchan!" Bruno repeated his move.
"Now, Dumpling, Fly high!"
In a moment my partner was already heading up the ceiling and the next rock missile, launched by Hitmonchan, headed somewhere hear my pokemon, but thankfully not at him.
Bruno clenched his teeth, not pleased by what he sees.
"Use Counter, now!" He roared.
The punching pokemon took a readiness stance, bracing himself. Dumpling fell down from above, inflicting a very serious damage to the enemy, almost pressing him into the ground. But… the stronger we were – the stronger was our foe. Because I know that Counter strikes twice stronger that the move hit earlier. So the very powerful punch hit Charizard in the stomach and threw back, to the edge of hole.
"Can you get up?" I asked my pokemon, very worried. The very tired and weak, but still alive growl answered positively to me. "Good, then use Flamethrower!"
"Hitmonchan… Mach Punch!"
The opponent kept surprising me even more. From a slow and careful Hitmonchan he turned into a lightning-speed fast monster that reached Dumpling and punched him in the face even before he opened his mouth to charge the attack. Is this… some sort of a fighting-type Quick attack? At least, this wasn`t too strong, so my pokemon is still stands. The indicator of his condition up above the screen stated extremely low, but this is exactly when we are the strongest. With a deep breath Charizard shot the powerful stream of fire, burning even stronger than before, literally knocking down the poor Hitmonchan and pressing him to the ground, not letting him to get up… at all… even when the flamethrower ended.
"Hitmonchan is unable to battle, Charizard is the winner!" Commentator loudly announced to the whole stadium.
"Grrr… We`ve almost had it!" The Elite Four Bruno began to show anger. Maybe, he is not a good-tempered one. "Hitmonlee, show them!"
And now he switched his fallen pokemon with the next – another human-like pokemon, but this one was much stranger. His body was whole piece, arms and legs looked like springs and there were no mouth… A strange pokemon indeed.
"Well, we still can teach YOU a thing or two, kid!" I quietly mocked my opponent. "Loser, now it`s your turn!"
I have switched pokemon too just to use our type advantage to the maximum. Let`s see if he has some moves in his arsenal to defeat a ghost. I bet he doesn`t. But I have to admit, his fighting-type pokemon was really close to defeating my half-flying type. Their training really had effect.
"Heh…" My opponent sighed and pointed at us. "You think you`re smart, huh? I`ll show you how wrong you are! Hitmonlee, use Foresight!"
"Okay, Loser…" I said slowly and carefully, trying my best to remember what Foresight is. No success. "Use Curse!"
That didn`t stop Bruno, not at all. Maybe my Gengar succeeded in casting his spell on the opponent, this will take effect later. Right now our foe stares at Loser with his evilly shining eyes. After some seconds a small flash happened over my pokemon, and he retreated a bit back, becoming… less transparent? More solid? That… is not something normal for sure.
"Would you look at that!" The commentator shockingly announced. "Looks like even ghosts have no defense against the elite Hitmonlee we`re having there!"
What does he mean – have no defense? It is…
"Hitmonlee, use Mega Kick!" The opponent shouted loudly, kicking the air himself.
WHAT?! Isn`t Mega Kick a normal-type move that doesn`t affect ghosts at all? Or… now it does? Is this the effect of Foresight?
"Grrr… Loser, attack with Shadow Ball!" I countered him.
Our missile of dark matter reached the opponent right at the moment he was jumping and aiming his incredibly long leg at us. The collision did happen, but didn`t interfere with his own move. A spring-like leg stretched just enough to land a serious hit on my Gengar and throw him back. The ghostly effect DID vanish… like it never was. And the hit was VERY strong, to be said, despite the type resistance.
Yeah, Vengeance, enjoy the taste of the League. It`s about time.
The worst thing is that Loser actually doesn`t like losing at all. This may turn badly if we get more damage… if we survive more damage. That I honestly doubt, looking at my pokemon on his edge. His eternal smile doesn`t look happy anymore.
Bruno got us cornered. And we don`t have much of a choice here.
"Shadow Ball!"
"Mega Kick once more, Hitmonlee!" Commanded Bruno, enjoying the view. "Make sure you get it!"
Suddenly the luck appeared on my side. Meanwhile Loser successfully shoots down Hitmonlee, a bit taking our opponent away from his aim, but enough to make him miss! The long leg struck down the ground and got stuck. The kicking pokemon kept trying to escape this awkward situation until the curse hit him once more, making our score equal.
"Doesn`t matter! We still have another leg! Finish him with Mega Kick!" Excited Bruno kicked the air once more.
Damn, he is right… Even from this distance his Hitmonlee can reach us with his elastic leg… I`m sure we can land a final hit first, but let`s be more careful… and stylish!
"Shadow Step maneuver!" I said with a smile on my face.
Hitmonlee launched his leg right at us from nearly ten meter distance, but Loser easily dodged that and then jumped into the shadow spot on ground just to teleport near the opponent and hit him with a final strike. With his leg still stuck in sand, Hitmonlee fainted.
"Just you look at that! Hitmonlee is unable to battle, Gengar is the winner!" The commentator announced, shocked by happening.
"You don`t go too far with specialists, challenger…" Bruno grimly said while returning his pokemon back. "Only PHYSICAL strength matters!"
"Oh, yeah? As for me, I have just defeated your physical attacker with my specialist!" I mocked him a bit, also praising my Gengar.
"Urgh… I`ll teach you a lesson, boy! Let`s go!"
Suddenly, from his next pokeball a huge figure appeared… Really, really huge… The biggest I`ve ever seen.
It was just another Onix. But Onix at least twice bigger than Brock had! I`m not even sure if this monster would fit on gym arena.
"You want some strength, huh? Then get some! Lei Sheng, show him!" I replaced Gengar with Gyarados. A monster of my own was somewhat smaller than this Onix, but still managed to make a good impression.
"Yes… YES! This is what I`m talking about!" Bruno seemed to be very excited about a really strong-looking pokemon like Gyarados. "Finally, someone to match us! Onix, use Sand Tomb!"
"We`ll start with Hydro Pump!" I calmly replied.
Lei Sheng made a deep breath and launched a stream of water over the whole field that reached the opponent and hit him in the middle segment. Well, I expected this to be much stronger… Maybe, we just need to get closer. As for our foe, he made a swing with his tail, literally showering Gyarados with sand. To my surprise, the small sand pieces didn`t fall and just kept flying around my pokemon, forming a horrible sand tornado that hurt him over the time.
"Nice, now… Double-Edge!" Our opponent furiously exclaimed.
"Yeah, nice! Hydro Pump on my command, Lei Sheng!" I gladly replied.
Gyarados prepared to launch his attack on my mark while the enemy makes a powerful charge at us. When he reached our close distance, I did make my mark.
"Now."
A powerful stream of water struck Onix on his way, dealing really good damage to this bulky son of a bitch. This also slowed him a bit, but he still reached Gyarados and struck him with his head with massive power. Double-Edge is really one of the strongest moves, as I know, but this also hurts the user quite a lot… well, not Onixes. Brock once told me that these pokemon may sometimes happen to be really rock-headed so they don`t feel the recoil damage. I guess this one is one of them.
"Come on… come on! Bring it on!" Bruno wildly shouted at us. "Enough of your cowardly ranged attacks, kid! Take us like a MAN! Iron Tail, Onix!"
"Oh, you wish to know, what we can, by our teeth? Fine, then! Lei Sheng, Bite him!"
Two pokemon rushed to each other, ready to crash and smash. When Gyarados crunched the enemy`s horn, Onix made a swing with his steel tail and hut my pokemon, finishing the exchange. This looked really painful for both battlers. And this looked really excited for Bruno. Maybe, I need to impress him once more…
"You know, what exactly let me get here? Want to know my secret?" I cunningly asked my opponent. "I know when to show STRENGTH… and when to show MIND. Lei Sheng, use Monster Kiss maneuver!"
The whole stadium began to 'wow' after that, leaving Bruno really confused and, maybe… a bit scared of what is going to happen? I guess, it was Misty who started that. She invented this maneuver, also. Brutal girl…
"D...Double-Edge, Onix!" Our opponent ordered carefully.
Perfect.
The rock snake pokemon lowered his head and rushed forward, straight to my Lei Sheng. But Lei Sheng was ready - Lei–Sheng opened his mouth wide and waited for a perfect moment to intercept Onix and make a bite… by his maw.
From the side it looked like Lei Sheng is trying to devour Onix, but actually he is charging his strongest move to attack the defenseless opponent… Onix tried his best to escape the merciless grip of Lei Sheng`s jaw, but it was useless.
And then I clicked my fingers.
Lei Sheng began to shoot Hydro Pump straight from mouth to mouth, filling up Onix with water. Poor pokemon began shaking from the pressure, the pain and everything. I could clearly see how his strength and will to fight fade with a digital bar on screen… Until both Onix and his bar ended.
"That…" The commentator even lost his speech for some time. "I have never seen something like his in the League. But that was SPECTACULAR! Gyarados defeats Onix, magnificent!"
Well, I expected them to kick me out for such violent methods, but I guess this just excites the audience.
"No way…" Bruno was really lost in his thoughts. Onix really fell pretty easily for me, and that just broke his 'unbeatable' master. "I… I have always been a guardian of the League. I have always been a challenge for trainers! Only those who can overpower me, are let to proceed! But you… you slowly defeat me without overpowering at all!"
"Meh, doesn`t matter." I smiled playfully. "Is it the strength that you seek in trainers? Or the skill to master all other skills is more important?"
He lowered his eyes to look at his hands, like he is thinking through my words. Like he is unsure what to answer.
"No… no skill is more important than pure strength!" He exclaimed, squeezing his fists and throwing a brutal look at me. "The strength that pulsated through the body of you and your pokemon!"
I smiled and threw a quick look at lieutenant Surge in the first row of tribunes. He sits there, smiling cunningly and looking at the events before him. Listening to life lessons Bruno gives me. Lessons that are the complete opposite of what Surge himself taught me. I don`t think that Bruno is in the Elite Four just because his methods are better, so I still trust bad old lieutenant Surge more.
"Oh well, you don`t learn at all…" I waved away. "Maybe, that is why you`re the SECOND of the FOUR…"
"How dare you!" Bruno began shaking from anger. "I still have one more pokemon left… And I`ll… he`ll… show you what we are made of! Machamp, I choose you!"
So he finally sent out his last pokemon on the field – the mighty and fearsome Machamp. An evolved form of Machoke, the human-like pokemon with huge muscles and… two more hands. Damn, this looks menacing. No wonder this is his best pokemon.
"Okay, I have a champ of my own. Let`s go, Moment!"
I sent Golbat into battle, thus making the end a bit closer…
"Start with Confuse Ray!" I gave the command to my pokemon.
"Use Bulk Up, Machamp!" Bruno fiercely commanded.
Golbat began the fight with launching a colorful ray of energy at the enemy, confusing him in his short training. Machamp looked around, a bit lost, but threw that thought away and continued tensing his muscles until they glowed red. I know in this state he becomes stronger and harder to damage. Well, that means we can use the old good poison strategy.
"Use Poison Fang, Moment!" I gave the command.
"Bulk Up, once more, Machamp!"
My pokemon approached the foe with intention to make a bite with purple acidic teeth, but Machamp had already very tensed muscles to bite through easily. After that the superpower pokemon shook his head in confusion and then tensed once more until beginning to glow red. The veins on his body pulsate even more, muscles become harder and stronger.
"We need to try again. Poison Fang!"
"He-he… Scary Face, Machamp!" Satisfied Bruno commanded.
With the effect of Bulk Up opponent becomes less and less vulnerable to our attacks. This time after the bite he barely moved. At least, this time effect of poison did infiltrate the foe`s body to make him suffer for good. BUT after that Machamp stared at my Golbat with his dark evil mug, scaring the shit out of him so he is afraid even to move now.
"Yes, great! Just look at this…" Bruno wildly shouted again, pointing at his pokemon. "You think, you weakened us? No, you just made us stronger!"
His pokemon retreated back, suffering from the poison, but this just angered him more. He roared fiercely and glowed red, like powering himself. Damn… this is not good.
Audience didn`t seem to appreciate my move too. People tried to shout out something angry to me, just gym leaders just remained calm outside. I guess I have just made a mistake.
"Yeah, right… Machamp, proceed with Rock tomb!"
Damn, do all his pokemon know rock-type moves? Did he expect challengers to come with a bunch of flying types just to counter them? That`s smart, I have to admit.
"Wing Attack, Moment!"
Under the effect of Scary Face Moment`s movement look constricted, but still fast enough to land a super-effective hit first. Still, after that Machamp literally tore out the piece of ground near the edge of hole and threw at my pokemon, getting a strong hit on his wing. Damn, this will definitely affect our movement even more!
"Ha! You don`t stand a chance against us! Just look at all that power packed in these muscles!" Bruno laughed at us. "Why do you keep fighting, kid?"
"Well, I like to take risks. Because this forces me to think. Because that`s how I can bring the best of me. Moment, use Wing Attack!"
"All right, Machamp, finish him with one final Rock tomb!"
Hurt Golbat headed straight to the opponent, a bit limping in the air, and successfully landed another hit on the enemy. Still, the hardened muscles of superpower pokemon weakened our super-effective hit. Machamp jumped away after a quick recover and tossed another piece of rock at us, succeeding in his plan too.
Damn, this looks bad, really bad. Machamp is one tough pokemon, even tougher than a building-sized Onix. Under the effects of Bulk Up, he easily survives even super-effective hits and strikes stronger on his own. And my Moment can`t withstand this anymore – one more hit like that, and he`s finished.
I looked around the field, trying to find something that can help us, something we can use. Something…
Like a damn hole in the ground after the very first battle!
Bruno has a point about strength. A smart person won`t pass the door if he is not strong enough even to open it. But we ARE strong enough, yeah?
"Right, Moment, from now on… Go into the Matrix Mode!" I cunningly shouted to my partner. After a positive grow I nodded and looked at Bruno. "And now Position yourself!"
"This won`t help you, kid!" Looks like each time I use maneuvers they hurt more my opponent than his pokemon. "Rock tomb, let`s go!"
Great, he`s taking the bait.
My pokemon flew over the position I pointed at until I gave another command:
"Now proceed with Spiral Wing maneuver!"
I just hope he has enough strength to perform it…
As the opponent tossed another piece of rock at us, Moment rushed right towards it, starting to spin around with his wings spread wide. He barely dodged the collision with the dangerous missile and headed to Machamp, hitting him on tangent. This made Machamp retreat a bit back again… closer to the hole.
"Ohhh, you don`t dare!" Bruno went furious. "Machamp, push it back with Cross Chop!"
"Not bad too. Moment, Position yourself once more!" I gladly said and pointed at one of the survived columns around. Oh, it`s gonna be a mess after this…
Machamp crossed straightened palms before his chest and ran after Moment until they both reached the point. At the last second Golbat slipped away from attack, and all the damage went into the column itself, making it crack and bend a bit.
"Machamp, keep the assault going! Rock tomb!" Bruno tried to press on us until the end. He definitely doesn't know what I have in mind.
"Dodge that and then… Use Bite and pull him down there!" I evilly ordered.
Bruno went angry even more. After the shot from his pokemon going into the ceiling and not into my Golbat, Golbat himself grabbed the opposing pokemon tightly with his jaws and pulled towards the hole. It must be big enough to fit the whole Machamp there… Of course, the four-handed monster tried to resist us – maybe he would actually stand on his feet - but the nature wasn`t on his side, and he went going down together with a piece of ground that crashed beneath his feet.
Now we have a Machamp in a not very deep hole, time for phase two!
"Heh, you can`t corner us! We will get you even from there! Machamp, give your best with Rock tomb!" Bruno countered us.
"Great, hide behind that column!" I gladly gave another command, pointing at the pillar Machamp have just cross-chopped.
Moment quickly covered behind the column and survived another hit from Machamp… but the column itself did not and began to crack everywhere.
"Push it!" I shouted.
Golbat just hit it with wings, and the pillar went flying down the hole, right on Machamp, covering him with a bunch of big rocks.
"Oh no, this will not stop us!" Bruno yelled. "Use Cross Chop to clear the way and get out of there!"
I just smiled at his efforts. Eh, he still thinks all these Bulk Ups will help him to protect his ass from Moment. Well… Maybe, he is right. He has powered his defenses from physical attacks quite a lot.
"And this is why I`m calling a specialist!" I exclaimed, continuing my thoughts aloud. "Dumpling, use Flamethrower!"
I switched my pokemon back to Charizard and released the red flying monster right into the air over the hole with Machamp.
"Oh no-no-no! Stop him, Machamp! Rock tomb!" Bruno shouted with anger, fury and worry.
But it was too late. Still not fully recovered after his own battle, Dumpling activated his Blaze ability and used all his strength to launch a powerful stream of flame on Machamp that was defenseless against special moves. The fire literally exploded in the pit, leaving just ashes, smoke…
…and a fainted Machamp on the bottom of it.
"What a spectacular performance!" With great excitement, the commentator announced. "Machamp is unable to battle anymore, Charizard wins this match earning his master another victory in the Pokemon League!"
Viewers stood up applauding me, cheering me to go on. Everyone there was so excited and happy… except for a half-naked man on the other side of the field.
"Why? How could I lose?" He kept murmuring. "How can I let you go after this?"
"Maybe, the STRENGTH you cherish so much… Isn`t all about muscles and fury?" I quietly made a hint.
Bruno lowered his head down, returning Machamp back into his pokeball, and made a step away from his position. An elevator began to go down with him, leaving him some last seconds for last words:
"My job is done." He said coldly. "Go face your next challenge."
Well, some people just can`t accept their defeat that easily. I expected some of these guys to have… hot tempers. So I`m not surprised at all. He was so into the battle that didn`t use his chance for Full Restore… Or he is too proud to use it. Whatever.
"That`s all folks! The second battle of Vengeance in Pokemon League has come to end, but this is only the beginning!" Commentator kept shouting somewhere up above. "We are going to have a small break ourselves and let our challenger to get to the next field and get prepared. The tribunes start moving in a minute, so please get ready everyone!"
Oh, finally some silence from him. I hate this guy already.
Dumpling carefully landed behind me, growling questionably. I turned back to him and made a smile.
"Yeah, you did great. You all did great." I praised him, starting to spray hyper potion on him. "But there is still more to go. You think you can handle these bastards?"
"Raawr!" He growled in return, all shining with self-confidence.
"I don`t doubt it. Get back here; we have a five-minute break." I returned him back to a pokeball and noticed that tribunes are already gone and the automatic bridge to the other side already appeared. So I didn`t waste any more time and headed forward.
Well, this battle was a challenge. Maybe, Bruno is one real idiot, but he has the power he kept talking about. 'Might goes before right' is definitely his creed…
But I have defeated him. Yeah, I DID it! Can`t believe I actually made it. I mean, we actually made it. The challenge becomes harder and harder every step.
So what step is going to be next for me? For us?
