Chapter 87 - Indigo League; advancing round part 2
After all the matches was announced, half of the stadium crowd had left to watch other matches.
After the elimination round the gym leaders was no longer required to do any service. Sabrina, Erika, Brock went to stadium number 7 to watch Itsuki's match.
.
Misty was dragging her sister's to stadium number 3 to watch her boyfriend's match.
"Misty, we want to go to stadium number 7. Stop dragging us to watch your boyfriend's match?" Daisy said with an annoyed expression.
Misty looked at Daisy and then looked at her two other sisters. Violet and Lily also had the same annoying expression as Daisy.
.
Misty coldly glared at her three big sisters." You want to watch Itsuki's match. Who is Itsuki? Itsuki was the trainer who defeated you three and won. You three don't have any connections with Itsuki. Or don't tell me that you three perhaps slept with Itsuki and then gave him the gym badge as a form of payment."
"Misty"
Paa!
Violet couldn't stop herself from slapping Misty.
.
Misty put her right hand in her right cheek and looked at her big sister in disbelief.
"Violet you....." Even though Misty's three sisters always bullies Misty but they never raised their hand on Misty. But today Misty was heartbroken, the fact that her sister slapped her because of a man who doesn't even cares about them.
"We might not be the best gym leaders. But one thing we are always proud of is our characters. I don't know what shit that bastard has feed you or in which way that bastard Ash has influenced you but never ever question on our characters."
.
Violet snorted and turned around. "Lily and Daisy let's go." Lily and Daisy gave Misty a disgusted look and then left.
Misty hearing Violet words realized what she had done. Misty realized how harsh her words were. Misty bitterly smiled as guilt took over her heart. "I am sorry." Misty slowly murmured as she stood there among the crowd lost in her own thoughts.
.
Blaine stayed to watch Cynthia's match. Blaine was very curious to know how much Cynthia has progressed after their match which took place month and half ago."Cynthia she become more beautiful. It looks like she is yet to fall for Itsuki or is she hiding her feelings for him? Youth."
Blaine sighed thinking about his young days. "I think I should just retire in 2 or 3 years and just focus on living my life to the fullest."
.
Blaine was the Gym Leader for multiple decades. Blaine was getting tired of being the gym leader. Being the gym leader prevented Blaine from traveling anywhere without taking the permission from the elite four. Blaine really missed the days when he traveled around the world and was not bothered about anything.
.
Koga and his daughter Janine stayed at the main stadium.
Giovanni on the other hand left the stadium and went back to his office as he had some important work to do.
All the gym leaders was now doing their own work. The meeting between Gym leaders was over.
.
[battle begins.] The camera was focused on Cynthia and on her opponent William.
William is a young man whose age is 15 and his height is same as Itsuki. William is a average looking man whose dream is to make a big name for himself through the Indigo League.
"Miss Cynthia, I will go first. Weezing I chose you."
.
Weezing is a much more bulky and large version of its pre-evolved form Koffing. After evolving from Koffing, Weezing gains a secondary (although smaller) head. The larger primary head has two fang-like teeth protruding from its lower mouth and two flat teeth protruding from its upper mouth, as well as a skull and crossbones marking. The smaller head has a simple frown and a circular marking. Weezing also has multiple pores surrounding its body that releases poisonous gases.
.

_Ability: - Levitate, Neutralizing Gas

_Sludge Bomb | Smokescreen | Tackle | Double Hit | Heat Wave ]
.
Cynthia didn't looked least bit worried. Cynthia can tell that Weezing level was not higher than mid 4th order Pokémon.
"Go Spiritbomb" Cynthia threw her Pokeball in the air.
Spiritomb appears like a purple, swirling vortex with green eyes and a black spiral for a pupil in its left eye. Around its face are green orbs that encircle it. Its "body" is connected to a stone base, with a small fissure in it supposing it was released when the seal was broken half way but still bound to the stone. Spiritomb's mouth is green like its eyes.
.
[Using a ghost type to counter against poison type. A very clever move by Cynthia.]
[Cynthia has type advantage against Weezing. The battle is favoring Cynthia to win but the outcome can change if something unexpected or hidden card is used by William.]
.
[Pokémon: - Spiritomb
_Level: - 34
_Type: - Ghost and Dark
_Species: - Forbidden Pokémon
_Ability: - Pressure, Infiltrate
_Gender: - Male
_Shadow Ball | Shadow Sneak | Dark Pulse | Sucker Punch]
.
'Never expected for Cynthia to have an ghost type Pokémon.' William couldn't help but curse his bad luck. William thought he could win easily using Weezing. But who who have thought Cynthia would have a rare ghost type Pokémon.
"Weezing start the battle with sludge bomb."
.
Weezing released multiple brown globs of sludge from its mouth at Spiritomb.
"Counter with Dark Pulse."
A ball of purple rings of energy formed in front of Spiritomb's mouth. It then fired a beam of purple rings of energy at the globs of sludge from the ball.
Boom!
Both attacks exploded at the middle of the battlefield.
.
"Shadow Ball."
In front of Spiritomb, 5 shadows formed around its body. Then all 5 shadows balls was fired at Weezing.
Seeing this many shadow balls coming at once, William panicked. "Weezing quickly dodge." William sighed in relief when Weezing managed to dodge the 5 shadow balls but then Cynthia's voice sent chills down his spine.
.
"Shadow Sneak." Suddenly Spiritomb shadow extended towards Weezing and attacked Weezing from behind in the form a 1 meters big claw.
Boom!!!
The claw directly slapped Weezing from behind and sent Weezing flying. Weezing crushed on the ground and the ground beneath Weezing cracked like spider web.
.
[ A wonderful combination of move. Cynthia kept Weezing and William busy with the shadow balls. William wasn't ready for the shadow sneak attack.]
[Michael, you also have to remember that Poison type is super weak against ghost so this attack gave Weezing huge damage.]
.
The audience was madly cheering for Cynthia. While William was trying to first calm down and think of a way to turn this battle around.
"Spiritomb use shadow ball." This time one shadow ball formed and fired at Weezing.
"Weezing use heat wave."
A red-orange ball appeared in Weezing's mouth, and it releases a wind of flames at the Shadow ball which destroyed the shadow ball.
.
"Spiritomb use shadow Sneak again." William face turned pale. William couldn't think of a way to counter the shadow sneak attack.
"So Weezing to lose then he might as well take his opponent with him. Weezing use Sludge Bomb."
Just like before the shadow of Spiritomb extended towards Weezing and a giant claw of shadow appeared Weezing while Weezing fired a glob of sludge towards Spiritomb.
.
In the next second, under the gazes of millions of people, Weezing was again attacked with the shadow claw while Spiritomb took its first damage in the whole battle.
Boom!
When the black smoke cleared Weezing was lying wounded on the ground. Red blood could be seen coming out from various places of its body.
.
[Wow what a battle. From the beginning Spiritomb only took one hit and finished its opponent in just two hit. Fantastic!]
[ Jerry, it look like Cynthia has more chances of winning this battle unless something miraculous happens.]
Cheer!
"Cynthia!" The whole audience was cheering for Cynthia, only a very few were cheering for William.
.
"Weezing you did a good job." William then took out another Pokeball and threw it in the air.
Venusaur!
[Ooo! It's a Venusaur. A fully evolved royal Pokémon. Michael I have changed my mind. I think now William might have a equal chances of winning this battle.]
[A fully evolved royal Pokémon is very powerful. A fully evolved royal Pokémon level starts from level 40. That is Peak 4th order.]
The whole audience was now even more thrilled to watch the fight between Cynthia and William.
.
Cynthia still didn't looked worried. Cynthia took out her Pokeball and recalled Spiritomb back which made some fans confused.
[Michael, I think Cynthia is also going to use her strongest Pokémon to fight William. After all Spiritomb is not strong enough to fight a Peak 4th order Venusaur. Cynthia would have lost if she had continued with Spiritomb.]
.
"Came out." Under the curious gazes of more than million people, Cynthia threw her Pokeball in the air. Everyone in the stadium was in the edges of their seats and dying to know what Pokémon will be used by Cynthia.
