Seeing Axel's reaction, Tabitha's lips curled into a slight smile.
No wonder he knew that Blaise's defeat was just because of being countered.
Because his main Pokémon was Torkoal, Blaise was very afraid of Gardevoir, a highly agile Pokémon.
But he was different. He possessed flames that could affect human minds, and what he feared least was kiting.
"Brat, you will pay the price for what you just said, a very heavy price," Seeing his teammate acting so arrogantly, Blaise, who was lying on the ground, shifted slightly to the side.
What else could he do?
His teammate had come to die too, might as well leave some space for him.
Seeing Blaise scoot closer to Axel's side, Tabitha grinned slightly.
As expected, his teammate still trusted him as always.
Seeing him come over, he even dared to move closer to the enemy's face.
'Don't worry, Blaise, I'll make them pay for hurting you in a moment.'
Tabitha took out a Poké Ball and pressed the button without hesitation, releasing a Pokémon that looked entirely like molten lava.
Magcargo, the evolved form of Slugma, Fire + Rock type.
Unlike an ordinary Magcargo, Tabitha's had undergone very special training and even possessed the ability to create illusions.
"Magcargo, let him feel the true meaning of fire, let them get lost in a sea of flames."
Magcargo nodded. Extreme heat erupted from his body, and flames surged continuously from the shell on his back.
The narrow corridor was scorched by fire, crackling and hissing.
All the objects being corroded by the flames couldn't resist even a little, becoming fuel for the fire.
Fire-type move: Burn Out!
This move had extremely high temperature, to the point of even burning away the berries carried by opposing Pokémon.
And now, being used in a relatively enclosed space, the high temperature filled every corner of the cabin.
Tabitha folded his arms, looking at Axel with a mocking expression.
"Hahaha, in less than a minute, the temperature here will exceed 80 degrees."
"By then, illusions will start to appear in your minds, and you'll unknowingly lose consciousness, only to be thrown into the sea by me!"
Axel: "..."
'This guy's move casting time is way too long, isn't it?'
If this were in Kanto, he'd probably be dead before finishing his speech.
Axel didn't wait for him to continue blabbering. He simply waved to Gardevoir.
In the next moment, Gardevoir appeared beside Tabitha and brought him over.
Seeing Gardevoir and Axel beside him, the defiance on Tabitha's face instantly vanished, and his eyes obviously became a bit nervous.
"Purify this guy a bit, make him talk less crap from now on. I'll take Gyarados and purify Magcargo."
Gardevoir smiled sweetly and nodded lightly.
'As expected, under my influence, Master has become more decisive and ruthless.'
'The purification he mentioned, he must mean for me to brainwash them, right?'
'If you want a chance to capture Groudon, you have to be this decisive!'
Due to the gap in psychic power, Axel didn't sense any of Gardevoir's thoughts.
He had no idea what astonishing and absurd thing this little rascal was planning again.
After pressing the Poké Ball in his hand, a brilliant white light flashed.
ROAR!
The moment Gyarados appeared, its massive body instantly filled the entire steel corridor.
Metal and wood deformed, emitting ear-piercing sounds.
Magcargo's pupils shrank, and it subconsciously took a step back.
'What the hell is that thing? Why is it so ridiculous?'
'Even Team Aqua can't raise a Gyarados that huge!'
Axel ignored Magcargo's terrified expression and waved a big hand toward Gyarados.
"Gyarados, Waterfall!"
"ROAR!"
The moment Gyarados roared, Magcargo trembled uncontrollably.
He felt as if his attack power had dropped by a whole level, just like being intimidated by Gyarados's ability.
Even though he was currently using a special move, he was still frightened into freezing for a moment.
A massive surge of water enveloped Gyarados's body as it charged at Magcargo.
Such a gigantic body brought with it terrifying impact force.
Add to that a move with 4x type advantage...
Any trainer would probably command their Pokémon to use Protect right now.
But without a trainer's command, Magcargo's reaction was clearly half a beat too slow.
The moment Gyarados made contact, a faint glow of Protect just appeared on Magcargo, only to be instantly shattered with a bang. The petite body was swept up by Gyarados, producing a sizzling sound.
Under the onslaught of water, Magcargo even underwent a reaction similar to lava meeting a water stream.
A large portion of the magma on its body solidified into rock, and its eyes spun as it collapsed to the ground.
One-hit KO.
Axel grinned and had Gyarados stop attacking. He turned to Tabitha and Blaise.
"Still planning to show me the true meaning of fire?"
Tabitha and Blaise looked at each other and fervently knelt on the ground.
"Of course not! As the great savior, my flames shall only strike your enemies!"
Axel: "???"
'What the hell is going on here?'
'All I did was win a battle, Gardevoir went and recruited the Magma Team too?'
