Aya gave Natsui a deep look, then took out a Poké Ball and recalled her Venonat.
"You worked hard, Venonat!"
However, from her expression, it was clear she was not quite reconciled with her defeat.
At that moment, a smoke bomb suddenly landed in the middle of the field. As it exploded violently, it released a cloud of thick smoke. When the smoke cleared, a man, along with Janine, appeared in the center of the field.
The man was around forty years old, with blue-black hair that spiked upwards like a hedgehog's. He wore a black ninja uniform with a red cape on his back and looked extremely serious.
"Brother!"
Seeing the man, Aya quickly knelt on the ground.
Brother? Does that mean he is Koga?
Koga said flatly, "Aya, your training with your Venonat is far from sufficient. You still have a long way to go."
Hearing his words, Aya said with a look of shame, "I was too careless just now. If I hadn't forgotten the duration of Disable, I would have definitely..."
"Alright, since you lost, don't make any more excuses," Koga interrupted her, then turned to look at Natsui. "That was a truly splendid battle. I am Koga, the Gym Leader of this Fuchsia Gym."
Natsui nodded, "A pleasure to meet you. My name is Natsui, and I've come specifically to challenge you, Mr. Koga!"
Aya and Janine both stepped aside, leaving the field to the two of them.
Facing Koga, Natsui naturally did not dare to underestimate this man. After all, when Lance, Agatha, and the others retired, he was once promoted to one of the Elite Four of the Kanto and Johto regions, a powerful Poison-type master!
Although this was just a regular gym battle and Koga was unlikely to use his ace Pokémon, even his regular Pokémon were sure to be very strong.
Koga said, "The rules are the same as before. As long as you defeat one of my Pokémon, your challenge is considered a success. However, since you have defeated Janine and Aya, the number of Pokémon you can use is now three!"
Three against one?
Natsui nodded, indicating he understood.
Walking to the other side of the field, Koga casually waved his hand and threw a Poké Ball.
When the blue light vanished, before Natsui could even clearly see what Pokémon it was, he already felt a foul stench rushing towards him!
Ugh~
This smell, so familiar. It's not another Skuntank, is it?
Fortunately, once he had adjusted a little and got a clear look, he saw it was a Muk!
Pokédex: "BEEP. Muk, the Sludge Pokémon. A Poison type. The evolved form of Grimer. Its body is entirely made of sludge and emits a very foul odor. It can easily slip through iron gates, manhole covers, and other objects. It likes to live in sewers, garbage dumps, and other dirty places. The liquid that seeps from its body emits a strong stench; just one drop is enough to make an entire swimming pool's water murky!"
Pinching his nose, Natsui thought about his strategy.
Since this is a battle against a near-Elite Four level trainer, such a rare opportunity, and it's three against one, I must make sure my Pokémon get plenty of training.
With that thought, he once again sent out his Jolteon.
"Jolteon, let's go one more time!"
As the Poké Ball opened, Jolteon, already injured from its battle with Janine, reappeared.
However, this time, Natsui wasn't determined to win, but rather let Jolteon fight as it pleased.
Once the match began, the two Pokémon engaged in battle. Although it had a short rest, at first, Jolteon was able to cause Muk some trouble with its agile speed and electric attacks. But as its stamina gradually decreased, Muk eventually found an opportunity and defeated it.
Natsui was very satisfied with Jolteon's performance and then sent out Charmeleon.
"Charmeleon, it's your turn!"
On the other side, having seen through Natsui's intentions, a hint of appreciation appeared in Koga's eyes.
"Training his own Pokémon while also wearing down Muk's stamina. What a cunning man."
Natsui gave an embarrassed smile, "Mr. Koga's Pokémon are all very strong. To be able to battle a master like you is an extremely rare opportunity!"
In the field, flames flew from Charmeleon's mouth, hitting Muk. Although it caused considerable damage, in the end, due to exhaustion, it was defeated by Muk's Body Slam, also losing its ability to battle.
Recalling it to its Poké Ball, Natsui sent out his last Pokémon, and this time, he finally got serious!
"Go, Wartortle!"
The moment this evolved form of a water-spitting turtle appeared, it turned back to Natsui and gave him a reliable smile, as if to tell him not to worry.
"Wartortle! Tortle!"
Although the two Pokémon had no type advantage or disadvantage against each other, Muk's stamina had already been greatly depleted. Facing it, Wartortle had a very high chance of winning.
"Confidence is a good thing, but you still have to be careful!" Natsui smiled. "Go, Wartortle, use Water Gun!"
A thick jet of water shot out from Wartortle's mouth, hitting Muk first.
Taking the full force of the attack, Koga shouted, "Muk, use Sludge!"
Muk swung its arm forward, and a large lump of sludge separated from its body, hurtling towards Wartortle.
"Wartortle! Withdraw into your shell, quickly!"
Faced with this glob of mud that was emitting purple gas, Wartortle naturally did not dare to be careless. It quickly pulled its head and limbs into its shell.
The sludge hit the shell with a splattering sound, but luckily, Wartortle had dodged in time and didn't take much damage.
"Muk, use Body Slam!"
While Wartortle had not yet emerged, Muk suddenly leaped up, its body spreading out and landing heavily on Wartortle, completely enveloping it with its soft body!
This move not only squeezed Wartortle's shell but also completely restricted its movements!
Outside the field, a joyful smile of having gotten her revenge appeared on Aya's face.
Muk had just defeated Charmeleon, which had vented some of her frustration. Now, seeing Wartortle being suppressed, she hoped even more that her brother would press on and defeat this man.
However, her hopes were destined to be dashed!
"Wartortle, use Rapid Spin!"
With Natsui's command, the shell under Muk began to vibrate and slowly rotate. Although Muk tried with all its might to press Wartortle down, as the shell spun faster and faster, it could no longer control it, and its entire body was sent flying!
At the same time, Wartortle's body spun rapidly in mid-air, extended its head and feet, and landed perfectly!
In mid-air, seeing Muk tossed high and not yet landed, Natsui continued to command, "Good chance! Use Aqua Tail!"
Wartortle's tail, as if wreathed in flowing water, began to glow with a blue-green light. As it leaped high, its body turned, and it swung its tail viciously at Muk's body!
