After Poliwrath was defeated, the only Pokémon Trinity had left to battle was Chinchou.
Watching both her Gyarados and Poliwrath end their battles in such a state had caused her own spirits to hit rock bottom.
To be honest, after two rounds, she no longer held any hope of defeating Natsui.
Even if she managed to defeat this red Gyarados by some fluke, what was the use?
Natsui still had an extremely strong Blastoise waiting for her. And besides these two Pokémon, who knew what other ridiculous monsters he had?
After all, if a Pokémon as powerful and despair-inducing as the red Gyarados wasn't even his final ace, Trinity truly couldn't imagine what kind of powerful opponent she would face after it!
A Pokémon that's too weak would definitely not catch this man's eye. What could it be?
He couldn't possibly have a Suicune, right?
She was amused by her own thought.
What am I even thinking!
How could a Suicune be so easily encountered and caught? Besides, even if a Suicune were here, it probably couldn't defeat such a powerful Gyarados!
Her thoughts returned to the arena. Trinity looked at the red Gyarados once more.
Although she had lost hope of winning, it didn't mean she would just give up. Fortunately, Poliwrath had stalled for long enough to give Chinchou ample time to catch its breath.
Now, she could only place all her hopes on Chinchou, praying that it had adjusted its state of mind!
At the very least, I must fight with all my might and defeat this red Gyarados if possible, to salvage some pride for myself!
Even if I lose, I don't want to be swept so easily!
Taking out her first Poké Ball, Trinity threw it forcefully. After the blue light faded, Chinchou appeared on the water's surface once again!
Compared to its first time facing the red Gyarados, after calming down in its Poké Ball, Chinchou looked much more composed. But this was only on the surface. The moment its eyes met the red Gyarados's again, it couldn't help but start trembling uncontrollably!
"Chinchou!" Seeing this, Trinity cupped her hands around her mouth and quickly cheered it on. "Don't be intimidated by its presence! And don't look into its eyes!!"
Chinchou quickly averted its gaze. Sure enough, after no longer looking into those terrifying eyes, it felt the blood start to flow in its body again. It no longer felt numb, nor did its heart palpitate with fear. Although it could still feel the red Gyarados's cold stare, at least it was no longer so scared that it couldn't move!
Seeing this, Trinity secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it seemed Chinchou still couldn't move as freely as usual, as long as it didn't flee and could continue to fight, it was the best possible outcome!
With a wave of the referee's flag, the fourth round of the battle officially began!
Under Trinity's command, Chinchou floated on the water's surface and quickly swam to the side.
Because the red Gyarados had just destroyed all the stone pillars on this half of the field, while it left no footing for medium or large Pokémon, it actually created a great convenience for a small Pokémon like Chinchou.
The large and small piles of collapsed rubble allowed it to continuously maneuver around the red Gyarados!
Chinchou desperately wiggled its body and finally reached a pile of rubble before the red Gyarados could catch up. It scurried through a passage formed by two stacked pieces of rubble and successfully escaped to the other side.
The red Gyarados, due to its size, was blocked by the rubble pile. It only had two options: go around it or smash through it, preventing it from catching up to Chinchou immediately.
And this very delay gave Chinchou an opportunity.
Chinchou's two antennae simultaneously emitted a dazzling light. The next second, an electric current shot out from the antennae, speeding towards the red Gyarados!
Crackle!
The electric current accurately hit the red Gyarados. However, perhaps because it was fired too hastily, or because the red Gyarados's body was too massive, the small current didn't even cover its entire body before losing momentum and dissipating completely!
The moment the current hit the red Gyarados's body, Trinity stared intently at it!
She wanted to see if this terrifying red Gyarados, like a normal Gyarados, was also a Water- and Flying-type and was just as afraid of Electric-type moves!
Unfortunately, because the current was too brief, she didn't see any pained expression on the red Gyarados. Fortunately, from the slight pause in the red Gyarados's movement, it seemed the Electric-type move did have some effect!
Hmm... it seems to be effective, but it also seems not to have much of an effect...
Was the move just now too brief and too weak?
Just as Trinity was about to have Chinchou use a more powerful move, the red Gyarados had already smashed through the rubble pile with its massive body and was once again in front of Chinchou.
This time, without waiting for Trinity's command, Chinchou fled in panic, once again escaping to another pile of rubble.
This cat-and-mouse chase, lacking any intense clashes of moves, was naturally not very spectacular, but the audience still watched with extreme focus, afraid to miss a single detail!
Even due to sympathy for the underdog, most of the audience once again put themselves in Trinity's shoes, breaking into a cold sweat for Chinchou every time it faced a perilous moment!
Gulp...
In the audience stands, Misty also unconsciously swallowed.
She was already afraid of Gyarados, and now seeing this red one, she was even more terrified. Although as Natsui's companion she wanted to cheer for him and wanted him to get revenge for her, she couldn't help but subconsciously worry about Chinchou!
Noticing this shift in herself, Misty was first startled, then quickly comforted herself in her mind.
This isn't betraying Natsui. After all... after all, Chinchou is also a Water Pokémon, and I aim to become a Water Pokémon Master, so isn't it perfectly normal for me to worry about it!
In the arena, the red Gyarados had chased Chinchou to a pile of rubble.
In front of a broken pillar, Chinchou made an agile turn, the red Gyarados, and arrived at another safe spot.
It quickly turned around and used all its strength to gather its electricity. When the power finally reached its peak, a large electric ball formed between its antennae.
Seeing the terrifying monster approaching again, Chinchou didn't even have time to aim and hastily threw the electric ball at the red Gyarados!
The electric ball flew through the air.
Perhaps because the red Gyarados's body was so massive, even without aiming, the electric ball still hit it.
ZAP!
Instantly, an extremely brilliant flash of light exploded on the red Gyarados's body!
