"We're in second place now? Oh well... that doesn't matter. We'll catch up soon."
Seeing the news on the giant screen, Nagasaki Soyo didn't feel disappointed. In fact, her mood improved. She turned her head and looked at the girl not far away, a malicious glint in her eyes.
"Right, Sakiko-chan."
At this moment, her desire for revenge grew stronger.
In front of her was the main culprit who had shattered their old team, Toyokawa Sakiko. What confused Soyo was that the Sakiko before her was wearing a mask, which highlighted her slightly larger-than-average nose.
But none of that mattered. According to her investigation, the Sakiko before her already had a win streak of over 20 matches.
If she defeated her, she would definitely get a lot of battle points.
Soyo took out her Poké Ball, the malice in her eyes growing.
"If I win, you'll stay away from Satoru, right?"
With that, she casually threw the Poké Ball. A dazzling light cut across the sky. As the light faded, a blue-and-black figure stood before Sakiko, majestic and imposing.
This was the pseudo-legendary Pokémon of the Unova region, Hydreigon!
"ROAR!"
Hydreigon's powerful aura was chilling, giving off an unprecedented pressure.
Seeing this, Sakiko didn't show much emotion. However, she hadn't expected the other to say such a thing.
To be honest, Sakiko was very displeased. After spending a short time with Soyo, she felt that she would rather be at home cleaning up her deadbeat dad's liquor bottles.
Why should I be the one to stay away from my childhood friend?
Just for your love life?
"You really only think about yourself."
Sakiko looked at Soyo with displeasure, then resolutely threw out her own Poké Ball. A bat-like dragon Pokémon appeared in the air.
"Then if I win, you will kowtow to me."
The location of their battle was changed to the school rooftop. After all, if you wanted a place where flying Pokémon could show off their skills, it had to be a field with an endless blue sky.
Originally, Sakiko had wanted to make the condition, "If I win, you will stay away from Satoru."
But on second thought, she felt that it would seem like they were fighting over a man, so she didn't say it, changing it to kowtowing instead.
In fact, she regretted it. The thought of potentially running into Soyo when she met Satoru in the future gave her a headache. It would have been better to cut off that possibility in advance and turn it into a 'fight for a man' battle.
The conditions between the two were not equal at all. At least in Sakiko's mind, Soyo was someone who didn't care about kowtowing.
The two girls stared at each other. Hydreigon and Noivern's eyes met. Both were Dragon-type Pokémon with similarly ferocious personalities. Noivern's specialty was fighting in the dark; it was invincible in night battles.
In the dark, even a Hydreigon would fear it.
The current time was noon, which was quite disadvantageous for Sakiko. Plus, in terms of the Pokémon's own power, Soyo's Hydreigon was known as a pseudo-legendary, a title much stronger than Noivern's.
To be honest, Soyo didn't think she would lose at all.
We will win!
Defeat the opponent before me, then defeat Satoru, use forceful means to make him accept hypnosis, and finally sign his name on the marriage registration form.
I'll make him mine!
...No, to be with the boy I like, first I have to take out Sakiko-chan.
The light in Soyo's eyes vanished. Her azure pupils were dyed black, oppressive and heavy. A gentle smile played on her lips.
Since the other was wearing a mask, she might as well wear a fake mask of her own.
Fighting spirit ignited in Soyo's and Sakiko's eyes. It's just that the two girls who had come to the rooftop with them felt that their fighting spirit was utterly nonsensical.
"Want some candy?"
"..."
Raana took a matcha-flavored candy from her pocket and offered it to Mutsumi, but Mutsumi just shook her head, refusing.
She focused all her attention on this utterly nonsensical fight-for-a-man battle.
"The match between Nagasaki Soyo and Toyokawa Sakiko will now begin."
At Mutsumi's words, Soyo's and Sakiko's concentration reached its peak.
"Noivern, fly up and use Dragon Pulse on Hydreigon!"
"In that case, Hydreigon, we'll fly up too and counter with Dragon Pulse."
Both of them quickly gave their commands.
"ONBA!!"
In the dappled morning sky, Sakiko's Noivern was like a meteor streaking across the sky, being the first to reach the top of the battlefield.
It shone brightly in the sunlight, stirring up a whirlwind in the air. Then, with a sudden burst, a Dragon Pulse erupted from its mouth like a torrent.
This Dragon Pulse was unusual. It had a reddish ripple within its main purple color, and it shot towards the tumbling Hydreigon in the air. Hydreigon, faced with this surging attack, opened its three mouths simultaneously and released its own Dragon Pulse.
The Dragon Pulses intertwined, creating a spectacular scene.
"SAZA!"
But Hydreigon showed a slight advantage. Its Dragon Pulse seemed more solid, its energy more concentrated, even creating a faint crackle of thunder in the air, which was chilling.
Noivern's Dragon Pulse was gradually being suppressed by Hydreigon's.
In terms of pure output, Noivern lost to Hydreigon, while in terms of speed, Noivern had the advantage.
Both of them noticed this problem.
"Dodge it, quick!... Maintain a certain distance and use Hurricane."
While the Dragon Pulses were clashing, Sakiko immediately had Noivern retreat.
Unfortunately, Soyo had no intention of letting her go.
Overcome... Satoru... marriage registration... take out Sakiko-chan.
Her mind was completely filled with these things. Soyo was currently enjoying herself immensely.
As for battle points? Not close!
Aren't we fighting over a man?
Soyo showed a confident smile, not having considered that she would lose.
Since the other was trying to steal her boyfriend, it was fine for her to be a little cruel, right~
"Use Tri Attack. Don't let it escape."
Tri Attack (Normal): The user strikes with 3 types of beams at once. May also paralyze, burn, or freeze the target.
Although Tri Attack wasn't a STAB move, firing three beams at once meant it had three times the range of a single beam attack.
Against a Pokémon that was good at running away, you naturally had to use the move with the largest range.
"ROAR—!"
In the open battle space, Hydreigon opened its three mouths and released a triple attack of fire, ice, and lightning. The three beams intertwined in the air, forming a three-in-one offense.
"ONBA!"
Noivern released a Hurricane in the air, distorting the triple attack. And the immense power of the STAB Hurricane passed through the Tri Attack and attacked Hydreigon.
The Hurricane, like an invisible sword, directly impacted Hydreigon's body. It was sent flying by the force of the Hurricane, its body staggering.
It wasn't severely injured, but the Hurricane attack had still caused a certain amount of trouble.
Hydreigon briefly lost its balance in the air but quickly stabilized itself and resumed its counterattacking posture.
···
"Is that all you've got? Nagasaki Soyo." Because she hadn't proposed a good condition, Sakiko could only choose to taunt her coldly.
