Armaldo Wants to Go One-vs-Three Today

The Mightyena icon on the big screen instantly dimmed.

Sato watched Armaldo intently. He could clearly sense that Armaldo had grown stronger. Though it was only an Elite Class Pokémon, it was no weaker than a Gym Leader's Pokémon.

With that, Eichi's opponent took out his second Poké Ball and threw it.

A bipedal figure appeared on the Battle Arena.

Three tufts of red fur that looked like burning flames stood atop its head, forming the shape of a mountain.

In front of the middle tuft of red fur was a mass of fiery red curls.

It had huge oval ears, with an energetic face between them.

It was Chimchar.

Chimchar

Aptitude: Outstanding

Level: Early Gym Leader (52)

Eichi glanced at Chimchar and did not switch Pokémon.

"Continue the match."

"Chimchar, Flamethrower!"

Chimchar opened its mouth, and a ball of fire formed within it before being blasted out.

"Armaldo, Water Pulse!"

Armaldo opened its mouth and fired out a massive Water Pillar, rippling outward in rings.

A closer look would reveal countless water energy particles vibrating wildly.

Then came the sight of the Water Pillar colliding with the pillar of flames.

The flames were continuously extinguished by the Water Pillar. No matter how hard Chimchar tried to increase its output, it was useless.

The Fire Pillar was steadily snuffed out, and the Water Pillar rapidly closed in on Chimchar before smashing fiercely into its body.

Chimchar was sent flying. It crashed heavily onto the ground.

Then it staggered back to its feet.

It continued attacking, firing out a pillar of flames, but the attack veered off and completely missed Armaldo.

Chimchar had fallen into confusion.

"Chimchar, wake up! Armaldo is right in front of you! Stop missing!" Its trainer panicked.

"Armaldo, Rock Tomb!"

Eichi would not give it a chance
