*****
Empty plot of land in the fields.
"Houndoom~"
"Awooo~!"
Arcanine and Houndoom stared at each other, then suddenly howled simultaneously.
Whoosh~
Then Arcanine used Extreme Speed, charging towards Houndoom like a blazing fire.
"Houndoom!"
Houndoom stood still.
An incredible Dark-type energy began to coalesce around its body!
Houndoom was slower than Arcanine, so it chose to unleash a full-area attack!
A tremendous wave of Dark-type energy exploded outward from Houndoom, radiating in all directions!
Dark Pulse!
"Awooo!"
Both big dogs fought in a remarkably brutal manner!
Arcanine maintained its speed and dashed into the area covered by Dark Pulse, enduring the damage as it crashed into Houndoom!
Boom!
The explosion of energy caused both Arcanine and Houndoom to slide backward.
"Noibat."
The fierce battle between Arcanine and Houndoom made Noibat, who was standing on Natsume's shoulder, feel a bit scared.
It looked worriedly at Natsume.
Natsume patted Noibat's little head, saying, "Don't worry."
"Those guys are full of energy."
"Letting them release it properly will do them good."
Arcanine took a deep breath, gathering intense flames before unleashing them instantly!
Arcanine used Flamethrower on Houndoom!
"Houndoom!"
Houndoom quickly started running.
As Houndoom dodged the Flamethrower, sparks of electricity flickered from its mouth.
Thunder Fang!
Arcanine charged directly at Houndoom.
Fire Fang!
The two sets of fangs, one crackling with electricity and the other engulfed in flames, lunged at each other, biting down!
Crackle~
Sizzle~
While Houndoom and Arcanine prepared to maximize their energy output, suddenly, a figure rushed in!
"Farfetch'd!"
It was a Farfetch'd!
"Farfetch'd!"
Farfetch'd swung its leek and struck at Houndoom and Arcanine.
Brutal Swing!
"Awooo!"
"Houndoom!"
Houndoom and Arcanine reacted quickly, retreating to avoid the Farfetch'd's attack!
"What is this?"
Natsume looked on in surprise at the Farfetch'd in front of him.

"Could this be the Farfetch'd that really gave Naoki a hard time?"
"It even knows Swords Dance."
"Farfetch'd!"
This Farfetch'd was not only strong but also quite arrogant.
It waved at both Houndoom and Arcanine.
Farfetch'd wants to take on both!
"Houndoom!"
Houndoom had a bad temper.
It was furious and about to attack when Natsume stopped it, saying, "Wait a moment, Houndoom."
Natsume approached and looked at the Farfetch'd, asking, "Why did you suddenly attack us?"
"Farfetch'd!"
Farfetch'd looked at Natsume and simply explained its intentions.
This Farfetch'd was drawn in by the howls of Arcanine and Houndoom.
Farfetch'd came from a distant northern region and was traveling and battling to evolve into Sirfetch'd!
There are many ways for Pokémon to evolve.
Interestingly, all known evolutions of Farfetch'd have been completed during battles.
"So you want to challenge Houndoom and Arcanine to complete your evolution, right?"
"Farfetch'd!"
Farfetch'd nodded.

"I understand."
Natsume looked at Farfetch'd and said, "But Arcanine and Houndoom have just finished a battle and are exhausted."
"So, how about I give you a new opponent?"
Farfetch'd glanced at the nearby Sandslash and Dragonair.
"Farfetch'd!"
Farfetch'd pointed its leek first at Sandslash, then at Dragonair.
"Farfetch'd!"
Finally, it called out toward Arcanine and Houndoom.
"Oh boy."
Natsume was taken aback by what Farfetch'd said.
This Farfetch'd was not your average cocky Pokémon.
It thought it could take on Sandslash first, then Dragonair, and once Arcanine and Houndoom were recovered, it would battle them too.
"Arcanine!"
"Dragonair!"
Dragonair showed a slight anger on its face upon hearing this.
Arcanine and Houndoom growled menacingly.
"Sandshrew!"
The usually good-natured Sandslash couldn't tolerate these words.
Sandslash stepped directly in front of Farfetch'd!
"Chirp chirp!"
Natsume looked at Sandslash and said, "Sandslash, let's see just how strong this Farfetch'd really is."
"Farfetch'd!"
Farfetch'd tightened its grip on the leek, its aura beginning to rise.
Around it, a wave of energy began to coalesce, sharp as a sword!
Farfetch'd immediately used Swords Dance!
"Sandslash, interrupt it!"
"Bulldoze!"
Sandslash stomped powerfully on the ground.
Boom!
