Despair (End)

In front of the Umbreon the Pokemon kept their composure but if one focuses then they would see the sweat dropping from their head and the crease formed on their forehead. This was noticed by their trainers.

" Since you want to be educated then let me show you the difference between us. Umbreon show them what you are capable of." Fang told his Pokemon. he had a lazy stance with his hands in his pocket. He doesn't seem to take them seriously.

Yet this still put a mountain load of pressure on them. They all knew what a advanced Trainer was capable of. Lance and Lorelei from their family and Alex was told about that by Lance. Yet seeing is believing.

This also inspired an aspiring dream in Alex to see what the top really feel like. This dream motivated him. " Get ready for the battle and always stay on alert, Haunter, Charmeleon." Alex warned them. They were even more vigilant and were ready for attack

" Good to see that you all have a battle spirit or all this would not be entertaining for me. Umbreon play with them." Fang issued his instructions.

Just when he said that the Umbreon appeared right in front of Lapras and blasted it up in the air by a shadow ball without giving it any chance and was using iron tail to end it but was interrupted by triple dragon rage of Dratini, Charmander and Charmeleon. This stopped it's attack as it countered it with shadow ball.

Even the combined attack could not match a single shadow ball and it raced towards them. Then jumped out of the way to dodge it. Meanwhile Lapras attack it with ice beam and Haunter with sludge bomb. This was to stop it from close combat.

The fact that it could blast a Lapras in the air showed it's superiority in physical strength. And the Umbreon then used pursuit to dodge it. They kept sending flamethrower, water pulse, sludge bomb, shadow ball to kept it at it's toes but it used quick attack and pursuit to keep dodging them.

This was only tiring the Pokemon and doesn't have any effect on the Umbreon. While this was going on, Fang was analysing the battle characteristics of each of the trainer. It can be said that the way ace Pokemon of a trainer battles that is the way of the trainer mentality is.

Mostly Lapras was trying to trap or limit the movement of Umbreon showing that Lorelei liked to trap and execute them out with most powerful attack. She is Willing to wait for the right moment to attack. She is a patient trainer. Meanwhile Dratini and Charmander try to take it out with brute force of attack and didn't put much emphasis on defense.

And last but not the least Alex was a opportunist trainer. His Pokemon uses every opportunity to increase their stat via dragon dance or Haunter using confuse Ray or hypnosis. They will not go all out at the start. His Charmeleon was but a brute Force pokemon it was using it's tail, fist and fang too to attack. It shows that he raised it for close combat. And the Haunter was a long range one with only some elemental fist moves.

These were what he noticed. Fang thought,' These three young trainers are much ahead from their peers. Each are at least intermediate level now. If given time they will soon reach senior level in a couple of years. After all many are stuck in the intermediate level their whole life. They still have much deficiency in their style though.'

After looking at them he also found their defects in style. Lance was most prominent as he trained his primary stage Pokemon as if they were at final stage and don't have to worry about these minute attacks. These attacks may not be effective for Charizard and Dragonite but it still is deadly for the young Dratini and Charmander. They didn't have enough defensive move and their dodge movement were not smooth enough.

In case of Lorelei her moves will be effective for trainers at her own level or lower ones if they are much stronger it is useless. And for it to work the Pokemon must have higher stamina than the opponent which is not the case her.

And last but not least in Alex case, his defect was he trained his Pokemon in only a single direction. Charmeleon on physical and Haunter on special moves. This has also made him stand above his peers but this also let a large weakness for his opponent to capitalize upon.

" You all are really good. To entertain my Umbreon like this. But now I am getting bored. Let's end this." Fang said.

on hearing this Umbreon stopped all its movement. Seeing an opportunity they all attacked him. they all commanded.

" Lapras water pulse."

" Dratini dragon pulse and Charmander flamethrower."

" Charmeleon dragon pulse and Haunter

Dark pulse."

All the moves combined and headed towards Umbreon. It wasn't intimidated by this combination and just used hyper beam.

It's hyperbeam tore open all the combined attacked and then exploded in front of their pokemons. This blasted them back. Lapras, Charmander, Charmeleon and Dratini were blasted to the ground and only Haunter was left standing.

This gravelly wounded the Pokemons . Seeing his friends injured Haunter eyed turned red and it headed towards Umbreon and attacked it with shadow ball and poison smog. and also used toxic to poison it.

If it was earlier Umbreon would have dogded but now it attacked it with bite. It bit hard Haunter and smashed it to the ground then used assurance and iron tail. This was all it took to take down Haunter.

in front of the trainer are laid the unconscious Pokemon. Now what will our heroes do? Stay tuned.
