Green's second Pokémon was none other than Clefable—the one that, after later updates, shifted from being Normal-type to being Fairy-type!
"Clefa!"
The moment Clefable came out, it swung its tiny pink fists and threw a few air punches at the sleeping Heracross in front of it.
I, Clefable, also know a thing or two about throwing hands. A mere Heracross—one Moonblast and it's over.
"Riolu~" (Wow, so you evolved already? I saw you getting chased by Team Rocket before—didn't expect you to be able to handle things on your own now.)
Riolu walked over, sounding a little emotional.
This Clefable had evolved from that Clefairy that Team Rocket had been chasing back then. At the time, Green caught it and added it to her team, and it was just a super cute little thing that did nothing but eat and sleep.
But after evolving, Clefable seemed to mature a lot.
After all, they'd all escaped from Mt. Moon together—so Riolu couldn't help feeling like time was flying.
Wait…
It hadn't even been half a month, right?
So why did it feel like nearly two months had passed?
Riolu scratched its head and decided not to think about it.
"Clefa." (Yep. I'm way stronger than before now—undeniably the team's main powerhouse!)
Clefable patted its chest and showed Riolu what it could do.
[Pokémon: Clefable]
[Type: Fairy]
[Level: 32]
[Ability: Cute Charm]
It was another Pokémon with Cute Charm.
Green wasn't giving up today. There was no way her luck was so bad that she couldn't trigger the ability even once, right?
As long as she could infatuate Heracross, she could not only disrupt its actions, but also stop it from triggering Guts!
Two birds, one stone!
Then Heracross would just be a punching bag she could pin down and beat up!
With that thought, Green's confidence came roaring back.
Wigglytuff had only been the vanguard. Now the real battle began!
"Clefable, use Moonblast!"
As a buddy who had escaped together with Riolu, Clefable definitely had some real skill.
Its Moonblast was polished to perfection, and it had beaten plenty of strong opponents with it.
And today—maybe it could defeat a Fighting-type Heracross and add a solid win to its record.
"Clefa!"
Clefable brought its palms together as pink moonlight surged wildly into its hands.
The glow grew brighter and brighter until it condensed into an energy sphere radiating cold lunar brilliance!
Once Moonblast was formed, Clefable leaned back slightly and took the perfect stance like a pro bowler—
Whoosh!
Moonblast flew from its hands, tracing a curving arc through the air as it spun toward the sleeping Heracross!
"Sleep Talk!"
With Heracross trapped in sleep, it couldn't use other moves—it could only gamble on Sleep Talk and pray it rolled something good.
"zZ…"
Heracross wobbled and moved, white light wrapping around its body, making it as light as a swallow!
Aerial Ace—a Flying-type move!
With Aerial Ace, Heracross dodged Moonblast in an instant before it could hit, then flashed in at an incredibly tricky angle—right in front of Clefable!
CRACK!!
Clefable's head took the hit, and it got slapped straight into a dent in the ground!
"???"
Green's mouth fell open. What kind of ridiculous luck was this? Grey yelled Sleep Talk once and it just happened to roll Aerial Ace?!
If it had rolled something like Horn Attack, it might not even have worked on Clefable.
But of all things… why Aerial Ace?!
Green narrowed her eyes, briefly suspecting Grey was secretly using aura to "transmit" his thoughts into Heracross's mind and somehow control its dreams.
But she quickly tossed that thought aside and focused on the battle in front of her.
"Clefable, use Dazzling Gleam!"
Green refused to believe it. A wide-area move like this—surely Grey wouldn't have an answer for it now, right?
"Clefa!"
Clefable forced itself upright. The sleeping Heracross stood right in front of it, still showing no signs of waking up.
Heracross was sleeping deeply now.
There were pros and cons—after all, it could enjoy that 50% Attack boost.
But Sleep Talk was too random, and Heracross knew way too many moves.
If luck went bad, Grey could basically just forfeit this one.
In the current situation, the odds were even.
But the viewers leaned toward Grey winning.
[Guys, after losing a bunch of bets, I've realized—every time we think the streamer's about to lose, he's super likely to power up and smack us in the face.]
[So how about we do the opposite and plant the flag on "the streamer will win"? That way, whether he wins or loses, we don't lose anything.]
[So either way, it's all good, huh?]
[Man, language is truly profound.]
Everyone started laughing.
Since Grey "wouldn't lose no matter what," they might as well plant the flag on him winning.
That way, win or lose, they'd still "win" in their own way.
Thinking that, the chat proudly liked their own idea.
[This Heracross of yours is pretty interesting, Grey, hehe.]
[Senior, you can tell too?]
[Of course I can, hehe. This old man is curious—how does a so-so Heracross manage to learn that many moves, hehe?]
[Wait, how can you tell?]
[Isn't it just a normal Heracross? How can you judge from appearance that it knows tons of moves?]
Seeing Mustard's message, a bunch of viewers were confused.
Why did the topic suddenly shift to how many moves Grey's Heracross knew?
[When you reach this old man's level of strength, you'll naturally understand, hehe.]
To everyone's questions, Mustard just chuckled and posted another message, fully committing to being cryptic.
[Indeed—Gym Leader Grey's Heracross is muscular, and every part is developed. It likely knows quite a few moves. You can tell Grey puts a lot of effort into training his Pokémon.]
[Holy—Bruno is here too?!]
[Bruno, what do you think about the rumor online that you're going to step down and let Grey take your spot?]
That question was sharp.
Bruno was still an active member of the Kanto Elite Four, and asking something like that was seriously lacking manners.
[Hahaha. If Gym Leader Grey truly wanted the position, I think he's qualified to serve as one of Kanto's Elite Four. But I believe he has even greater ambitions.]
[After all, Grey is a trainer acknowledged by Lance.]
