Chapter 614: Axel Vs Roy 2
"What are trying to say, Boy?", asked Roy.
"I mean to say that you should respect those who have earned it but it is clear that you were not present in the class when it was taught. Show me your full power. I know that you cannot defeat me.", said Axel.
Fearow was impressive. Axel could tell that it was able to learn some sort of a new move during the battle. Both of its wings and beaks had glowed in sky-blue light. But Roy had not taken good care of it.
"You want me to show my full power. I will show you my full power. Come out, Pidgeot!!!", shouted Roy and threw a master ball in the air.
"Criiii....."
Pidgeot appeared as it started to fly in the air. The storm was raging but Axel could see that Pidgeot was even stronger than Fearow. It was still having difficulty in the storm but the storm may not limit Pidgeot like Fearow. This was going to be a good battle.
Axel looked at Pidgeot to check its stats page.

---
Those were some good moves. If it was used well, the Pidgeot might have a chance to defeat Aerodactyl. However, Axel was laughing when he was looking at its ability. The ability and hidden ability were mastered to a good stage but this Pidgeot's ability was 'Tangled feet' and not 'Keen eye'.
'Tangled feet' would raise the evasion of the Pokemon if it was confused which was useless in this fight. 'Keen eye' would have been more deadly.
Roy was talking to Axel cause he wanted Aerodactyl to lose all the power-ups from 'Ancient power' and 'Sandstorm'. However, Axel was also not so stupid as to not realize such a simple thing.
"Challenger, would you like to change the Pokemon?", asked the referee.
"No, I don't."
"Are you both ready for the battle?"
"Yes, I am."
"Yes, I am."
"Let the battle begin!!!"
"Pidgeot, use 'Defog' and then use 'Tail wind'", said Roy.
"Aerodactyl, use 'Rock polish' and 'Tail wind'.", said Axel. However, he also secretly told it to use 'Stealth rocks' after Pidgeot had used 'Defog'.
'Defog' was basically used to lower the target's evasion and remove entry hazards like 'Stealth rock'. Roy felt that there were still some 'Stealth rocks' flying around, so he wanted to remove them.
However, Axel had already told Aerodactyl to use 'Stealth rock' after Pidgeot had used the move 'Defog' through mental communication. The move was not very effective due to the storm. 'Sandstorm' was heavily raging and it was affecting Pidgeot.
"Pidgeot, now use 'Hurricane' and then use 'Wing attack'", said Roy.
"Aerodactyl, use 'Stone edge' to block the attack and hold your ground.", said Axel.
Both of them the moves clashed and Pidgeot was coming towards Aerodactyl with glowing wings. This was one of the strategy of Axel. Aerodactyl was also a flying type Pokemon but it was not not as good as Pidgeot when it came to flying manurers or flying speed. So, competing with Pidgeot in flying-type moves and flying speed was stupid.
That was why Axel told Aerodactyl to hold its ground. It would hardly move and try to dodge and defend the attacks while increasing its defense and attack power.
The 'Wing attack' was blocked by 'Stealth rock' as Pidgeot was hit by it but it didn't waver and continued towards Aerodactyl. Roy knew that if he wanted to win this battle, he needed Pidgeot to get closer to Aerodactyl. Even though Pidgeot had some special type moves, they were not as strong as physical type moves and the special type moves could be blocked by this harsh storm and other moves of Aerodactyl like 'Stone edge'.
He had already made the same mistake with Fearow. He didn't want to make the same mistake again.
After getting crossed from 'Stealth rock', Pidgeot came near Aerodactyl. Axel didn't tell it to use 'Stone edge' again. It consumed a lot of stamina and Aerodactyl was starting to get tired already. It told it to use 'Rock slide'.
Aerodactyl was able to throw 3 rocks and one of them managed to hit Pidgeot. Fortunately, it flinched and the move was canceled. Taking this opportunity, it used 'Fire fang' and then tossed Pidgeot on the ground. It then started to charge 'Meteor beam' but the move was canceled as Pidgeot was able to recover very fast and hit Aerodactyl with 'Wing attack'.
Aerodactyl immediately used 'Iron tail' to do more damage and then stepped back and used 'Dragon breath'.
The battle went on for 5 more minutes. Aerodactyl was already tired after using so many attacks and it was losing this battle. Its stamina was all-time low. Pidgeot also had multiple injuries in its body but it still had a good chunk of stamina to continue to battle again.
Aerodactyl knew that it was going to lose this battle, so it wanted to do maximum damage to Pidgeot.
"Aerodactyl, use 'Stone edge' at full power. Don't hold back.", said Axel.
Pidgeot was weak to rock-type moves. 'Meteor beam' to too long to charge and was not suitable for this battle, so he told Aerodactyl to use 'Stone edge'.
ROOOAORRR
Aerodactyl gave a big cry and pointy rocks came from the ground and started to surround Pidgeot. It started to bind Pidgeot and some of them even pierced the poor Pokemon.
CRIIIII
Pidgeot gave a painful cry after being hurt.
---
Ding!
Aerodactyl's 'Stone edge' has leveled up to 40. It could not partially manipulate the rocks and bind the target.
---
This had come up at the right time.
"Aerodactyl, deactivate the storm and then use 'Meteor beam'", said Axel.
While Pidgeot was struggling to get out of this situation, Aerodactyl first deactivated 'Sandstorm'. It was going to faint very soon and the other Pokemon of Axel will be affected by the storm.
It then started to charge 'Meteor beam'. When it fired the beam, Pidgeot was just able to get out of the binding but it was still hit by the attack.
BOOOM
BOOOM
This was a powerful beam. Aerodactyl had used its full force in this attack and Pidgeot was now seriously injured.
After using the attack, Aerodactyl went to the ground. It had fainted.
"Aerodactyl is unable to battle, Pidgeot wins. The challenger is requested to send out his other Pokemon.", said the referee.
Axel looked at Roy with a smile. Some of the crowds were cheering and saying that the gym leader would wipe out Axel. Some of them were saying that Axel got what is deserved while the mature ones were silent. The mature audience knew that there was no way in hell that Roy was going to win this gym battle now.
Pidgeot was seriously injured and it had also consumed a lot of its stamina. If Togetic came here now, it would sweep Pidgeot with a single attack. Togetic was not a normal Pokemon. It was the most powerful Pokemon of the young Pokemon category.
Axel looked at Roy and said with a smile, "Are you still sure that you are going to win this gym battle?"
"Humph. If I had started to get serious since the first battle, I would definitely have won.", said Roy.
Axel was surprised by the stupidity of Roy. You are a gym leader, act like one. That was what he wanted to say. Weren't gym leaders supposed to be wise and experienced in imparting wisdom to the trainers? Why was he seeing a crying baby here?
All of the things spoken by Axel and Roy were loud, so the crowd could hear them. Some of them agreed to it.
"Oh really? Why don't we start the battle again? You send out your fresh Pokemons and I will defeat all 3 of them with my last Pokemon. But you will have to consider that you lost this gym battle and give me the badge first. How about that?", asked Axel.
Roy knew that if he agreed to it, he might win that battle, but he would be losing a lot of reputation. So, he declined.
"No, this is a gym battle and we will follow the rules.", said Roy.
"Oh, are you scared?", asked Axel with a smile.
###
In the crowd,
"Roy, take that challenge. We are with you!!!", shouted one of the fans.
"Yes, show that Kanto trainer what we are made off.", shouted another.
"Yes, take that challenge and win against him."
Such were the statements that were coming out from the crowd.
Roy could hear every one of them. He also wanted to teach this brat a lesson and show that the gym leaders of the Johto region should be taken seriously.
Then he started to think of the consequences. Axel was right. He was not going to win this battle now. He had to give this gym badge to him. Things were already out of control and he wanted to gain some fame from it.
So, what was the harm?
"Ok, I agree to your challenge.", said Roy.
He had many Pokemons that were of rare rank and they were also very powerful. He knew that he could take this challenge.
"Ok, let me get this straight. Same rules and I already have the gym badge."
"Yes, you are right. But since you are going to waste my time, I also want some compensation."
"Oh, what would that be?"
"If I win this battle which I will eventually, I want 1 billion Poke dollars.", said Roy.
"Then I will also want a billion Poke dollars if I win.", said Axel.
"I agree but you would have to win first.", said Roy.
The crowd was going crazy as Roy had taken the challenge. Some of them felt that Axel was really going to get it. This was an absurd bet. Axel had to beat all 3 of Roy's rare rank Pokemons with one of his remaining Pokemons. Even an idiot knew that Axel was going to lose this battle.
The original referee went and gave the gym badge to Axel. Axel had acquired Zephyr Badge. Axel wanted to do the weird dance that Ash always did when he got a badge but he knew that it was not the right time and it was also very embarrassing.
The referee then went off the stage. This was the referee that was elected by the league for gym battles. The official gym battle was practically over now so the referee didn't need to attend this battle. Another personal referee of Roy came to the stage for the battle.
"The battle would start again. The winner of the battle would get 1 billion Poke dollars from the loser. The rules of the battle are:
This is a 3 VS 1 Pokemon battle. Only the challenger could change his Pokemons during the battle. If the battle ends in a draw, the challenger will be considered victorious. The gym leader could only use Pokemons of rare rank category. The gym leader and the challenger could not use any items during the gym battle. Gym leader would take out his Pokemons first."
It was the same rules as before with some minor changes.
"Gym leader, please send out your first Pokemon.", said the referee.
"Come out, Dragonite!!", said Roy.
Dragonite came out with a roar. It was not as powerful as Pidgeot but it was a dragon-type Pokemon and they had huge stamina and defense.
The crowd went wild after seeing the Pokemon. This was a dragon-type Pokemon and it was a very rare sight to see.
"Challenger is requested to send out his only one and final Pokemon.", said the referee.
Axel gave an evil smile and then called out his final Pokemon.
"Come out Slowemperor."
