CHAPTER - 33 { Losing }

Gym___

'A Snorlax, ' Kota looked at the pokemon on the battleground and chose his pokemon wisely.

"I need something fast, and what could be faster than you buddy!, " A red pokemon came out on Kota' side, there was an alerted look on him.

"Scizor!"

Scizor moved his eyes around the battleground and then stared at Snorlax in front of him.

"Snorlax! Fire Punch!, " Haru said while slowly observing Kota and his Scizor.

"Snorlax!"

Snorlax who was standing with a lazy expression on the battleground suddenly had his eyes sharpened.

"Dodge it!, " Ordered Kota while eyeing the Snorlax with a bit of confusion.

'Something is different about this Snorlax. What's it?, ' Kota thought while Scizor moved sideways to dodge the Fire Punch from Snorlax.

"Scizor!"

Using his wings to boost himself in the air just above Snorlax' head.

Scizor raised his right claw up which glowed in white light.

"No! Stop!, " Kota immediately shouted but it was a second late because Scizor was already in the arms of Snorlax.

"Scizor?"

Scizor was still confused about what happened to him while Snorlax slammed him on the ground.

*Boom!*

"Snorlax! Finish it! Hyper Beam!, " Shouted Haru while feeling a little disappointment.

'Another weak trainer and his pokemons, ' Haru thought that maybe today was different.

It was just a rumor that Haru was on the same level with the Elite Four. Everyone thought it was a fake rumor but only the top officials knew about the truth.

Yes, it is true that Haru is on the same level as the Elite Four together with Snowy.

As for who Snowy is, she is the gym leader of Igloo City Gym.

*Boom!*

A loud explosion with the burst of light, wind and dust spread on the battleground.

"It's over, " Haru shook his head and was about to call Snorlax back in his pokeball when he heard another sound.

*Bam*

Snorlax was hit on his face as his body crashed meters back on the ground.

With the dust cleared, Haru saw Scizor half kneeling and holding his abdomen.

"You did it, " Said Kota, he trusts Scizor' speed and ability to dodge attacks.

"To dodge Hyper Beam at such a distance. Your Scizor is fast, I have to say it, " Said Haru while smiling towards Kota.

"Snorlax!"

Getting up on his feets again, Snorlax wiped the dust on his belly.

"But how durable is he? Definitely not as much as my Snorlax, " Haru released his crossed arms and put his hands inside his pockets.

"Snorlax, show your speed and power!, " Haru commanded as he remembered some old memories.

"Snorlax!"

Snorlax nodded his head, he stomped on the ground and looked at Scizor.

"Scizor! Be careful!, " Kota said as he started his brain to think of the best way to win the match.

Snorlax charged at Scizor with full speed making the whole gym shake.

'If Scizor got a hit by Snorlax, he is out for sure!, ' Kota had his face turn tense while clenching his fists.

He was facing the hardest match in his whole journey as a pokemon trainer.

Was he just too strong or the gym leaders before were just too weak?

"Scizor!"

Scizor flew up to avoid Snorlax, but a rapid line of flames came out of Snorlax' mouth.

Flamethrower!

"Tch!, " Kota knew that Snorlax was capable of many different types of moves.

A fire is obviously used to exterminate bugs. Scizor was the same, he is extremely weak to fire.

"Snorlax!"

Snorlax blew flames on Scizor but the latter continued to avoid them by flying around the battleground.

"Scizor! Hyper Beam!, " Shouted Kota, Scizor stopped and aimed his two claws at Snorlax.

With the energy ball formed instantly, Scizor fires at Snorlax without any second delay.

"Snorlax! Protect!, " Haru was a veteran so his mind was clear unlike Kota who was still a rookie.

"Snorlax!"

A light green shield was created by Snorlax around him which blocked the Hyper Beam.

*Boom*

Black smoke was released by the contact, Scizor didn't move his sight of Snorlax.

"Scizor!"

Flying on his right, Scizor dodged a Fire Punch from Snorlax.

"A Snorlax capable of jumping double his height. Very serious problem!, " Muttered Kota, this Snorlax was fast, strong and quite unique.

Why is it unique? Because from the start, Snorlax was more cautious than Scizor.

"Scizor! Quick Attack!, " Kota ordered while calming his mind. Scizor flew towards Snorlax in a zigzag way.

"Snorlax!"

Snorlax didn't move his body to dodge the Quick Attack from Scizor.

All the impact was absorbed by his fatty body. It was Scizor who received some damage in return.

"Snorlax, Ice Beam!, " Haru' voice came to Snorlax' ears as he opened his mouth.

A blue ball formed before his mouth which was then shot towards Scizor.

"Avoid it!, " Said Kota, he had some sweat on his forehead now.

"Scizor!"

Running as well as flying some times, Scizor avoided the Ice Beams from Snorlax.

"No, how can I not think of this!, " Kota stared at the battleground and grinded his teeth.

Looking around, the battleground was now covered in a sheet of thin ice.

Scizor had to fly in the air because he was unable to get a hold of the ground to step.

"Good, Snorlax! Now use Rest!, " Said Haru, smiling and enjoying the match.

'If the Rest is complete, then Snorlax will be almost in full health!, ' Thought Kota, he first took a deep breath and looked at Scizor.

"Fighting move! Scizor, use Close Combat!, " Remembering that Scizor had a fighting move, Kota felt better.

"Scizor!"

Flying on top of Snorlax, Scizor striked down his claws violently.

"Continue! Don't let Snorlax finish his move!, " Urged Kota while Haru was impressed by Kota.

"Scizor!"

Scizor used his full strength to hit Snorlax and make him unable to finish his move.

"It's no use! Scizor' attacks are just futile, " Haru said as he watched Scizor continue to hit Snorlax.

Two seconds passed, Scizor was getting tired by hitting Snorlax yet he didn't stop.

"Snorlax!"

Snorlax opened his eyes and punched Scizor, sending him meters away.

Seeing Snorlax get up, Kota concluded that he won't be able to win the match.

'But not until we go down!'.
