Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Battling Norman - Part 2
---
Facing the Vigoroth that was using the Brick Break skill and rushing towards Umbreon, Gary remained calm.
Because the distance between the two Pokémon was very close, if Umbreon was hit by this attack, even if it did not lose its combat ability, it would be seriously injured, so Umbreon was in danger at this time.
At this critical moment, Gary calmly issued an order.
"Umbreon, use Protect!"
At this critical moment, a thin light green barrier suddenly appeared, not only directly blocking the attack of Vigoroth but also firmly protecting Umbreon.
"Great!"
After seeing that Umbreon was safe and sound, Rosa breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then it's our turn next."
After blocking the attack of Vigoroth, Gary quickly launched a counterattack.
"Umbreon, use Double Kick!"
Under Gary's command, Umbreon immediately jumped up high, used the Double Kick move, and kicked Vigoroth twice in succession.
The impact of the two attacks immediately kicked Vigoroth to the ground.
"Next is Confuse Ray!"
Norman's face changed drastically after hearing Gary's voice, and he hurriedly shouted to Vigoroth.
"No, Vigoroth, get out of the way!"
Although Norman discovered Gary's intention, it was a pity that it was too late now.
A colorful and confusing energy ball, after leaving Umbreon, quickly came to Vigoroth who had just stood up, and also rotated around it.
Under the illumination of the Confuse Ray, Vigoroth fell into a state of confusion, and it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe for a while.
"Wake up, Vigoroth!"
Seeing this, Norman could only call out to Vigoroth to wake it up.
However, Gary would not give him this opportunity and decisively launched the last wave of attacks.
"Umbreon, it's time to give it the last blow," Gary waved his hand and shouted to Umbreon: "Use Hyper Beam!"
At Gary's command, a dazzling white light suddenly shone on Umbreon, and then it rushed towards the position of Vigoroth with a sharp breath.
"Get out of the way!"
Although Norman was shouting hard, the confused Vigoroth could not respond and still stood there without dodging.
In the end, Umbreon's Hyper Beam hit the target without any hindrance, hitting the abdomen of Vigoroth.
Vigoroth was also smashed away by this strong impact on the spot and fell in front of Norman before stopping.
"Vigoroth loses its ability to fight, Umbreon wins!"
The referee, noticing that Vigoroth had turned into a circle-eyed Pokémon, immediately announced the result.
"Thank you for your hard work, Vigoroth!"
Although Vigoroth had been defeated, Norman still gently took it back.
After taking back Vigoroth, Norman also took out the last Poké Ball, then looked up and said to Gary.
"Gary, this is my last Pokémon, go, Slaking!"
And Norman's last Pokémon, as expected by Gary, is Norman's iconic Pokémon, Slaking.
Pokémon: Slaking
Type: Normal
Ability: Truant
Gender: Male
Level: Level 61
Qualification: Elite Four
Moves: Hammer Arm, Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, Brick Break, Body Slam, Double-Edge, Fire Punch, Flamethrower, Heavy Slam, High Horsepower...
"A Slaking at the Elite Four level, Norman really thinks highly of me!"
Looking at the Slaking whose strength has reached the Elite Four level, Gary's mouth twitched slightly.
You know, the strength of Slaking is far beyond that of ordinary Pokémon, especially its immense power, which few Pokémon can resist, so its strength is very outstanding.
However, because of its Truant ability, it needs to rest after attacking, so few people are willing to train it.
After Gary saw the attribute panel of Slaking clearly, after a little thought, he took out a Poké Ball and threw it out.
"I'll leave the last game to you, Arcanine!"
Facing Slaking, Gary decided to send Arcanine to fight.
Soon, Arcanine appeared opposite Slaking after a burst of white light.
"It's really a good Arcanine."
Norman also took a look at Gary's Arcanine. With his experience, he could certainly detect the strength of Gary's Arcanine, which was almost as strong as his Slaking.
"Mr. Norman, you are too kind."
As a trainer, Gary was also happy that Norman praised Arcanine, so he responded with a smile.
"It's rare for someone of your age to have such strength!"
Mr. Norman also said with a rather emotional tone.
Then his face straightened and he said to Gary: "Gary, let me see your strength!"
"Okay!"
After agreeing, Gary decisively looked at his Arcanine and gave an order.
"Arcanine, use Flamethrower!"
After receiving Gary's order, Arcanine roared and used Flamethrower.
The hot flame formed a pillar of fire and rushed towards Slaking on the opposite side.
Facing the attacks of Gary and Arcanine, Norman did not react, but just watched quietly.
As for Slaking, after seeing this scene, it just yawned, moved its body slightly, and dodged the Flamethrower.
"What a quick speed!"
After seeing this scene, Gary's pupils shrank slightly.
"Hammer Arm!"
After dodging the attack, Norman also issued an order.
After receiving Norman's order, Slaking waved its big fist flashing white light and rushed towards the direction of Arcanine.
"Extreme Speed!"
After hearing Gary's order, Arcanine immediately used the Extreme Speed move, instantly disappeared from the spot, and avoided the attack.
Although Slaking chased it many times, Arcanine, which used Extreme Speed, avoided it.
After many fruitless pursuits, Slaking decisively gave up the attack. In addition, under the effect of its Truant ability, it stayed in place and stopped attacking.
"Then it's Flame Wheel!"
Gary also took advantage of Slaking's rest and immediately gave the next order to Arcanine.
As soon as Gary finished speaking, a burst of flames suddenly ignited on Arcanine's body, and Arcanine rushed towards Slaking with this ball of flames.
"Use Hammer Arm to block it!"
Facing such a fierce attack from Arcanine, Norman also calmly commanded Slaking.
Slaking slowly stretched out its arms, which were shining with milky white light, and stopped the rushing Arcanine.
Although Slaking was knocked back several steps by the impact, it was fine except for some minor burns.
"Grab it!"
After blocking the attack of Arcanine, Slaking also used its strong arms to firmly grasp Arcanine.
"Get rid of it!"
After seeing this scene, Gary also realized that something was wrong, so he hurriedly shouted at Arcanine.
Although Arcanine struggled desperately, it was still useless against the powerful Slaking.
"Very good, Slaking!"
After seeing this scene, Norman's mouth corners also rose slightly, and then he held his hands in front of his chest and gave an order to Slaking.
"Slaking, use..."
