Falkner was somewhat helpless.
Hoothoot was already one of the strongest Pokémon he had.
But against Articuno...
It could only be said that it wasn't enough.
The gap in strength was far too obvious.
But a Gym Leader couldn't just surrender outright.
Falkner was helpless, but the young Articuno was brimming with excitement.
It was her first battle.
Even though her opponent was a little weak, nowhere near those Charizard.
It was still a very nice experience.
"Young Articuno, Ice Shard!"
After happily flapping her wings twice, the young Articuno launched an attack at Hoothoot.
With a sweep of her wings, a massive chunk of ice flew toward Hoothoot.
"Bang!"
The ice block was incredibly fast and struck Hoothoot directly.
Hoothoot crashed to the ground!
Falkner fell silent as he looked at Hoothoot, who had lost the ability to battle.
Even a Gym Leader level Hoothoot couldn't withstand a casual attack from Articuno?
The audience erupted into cheers again. They had spent the entire day watching Gym Leaders bully kids.
Well, this was what they got. They had brought in a Legendary Pokémon.
In the blink of an eye, one of Gym Leader Falkner's signature Pokémon, Hoothoot, had been instantly defeated.
"Hoothoot has lost the ability to battle!"
As the referee announced the result, Falkner sighed helplessly. After recalling Hoothoot into its Poké Ball, he sent out his final Pokémon.
The young Gym Trainer was still in a daze.
This guy...
He was so strong!
Had he been pretending to be weak just now?
Probably not. After all, he wasn't exactly a tiger.
The young Gym Trainer felt like crying, but he could only keep watching the Gym Leader get brutally beaten in this one-sided battle.
Falkner's third Pokémon was Skarmory.
Skarmory was a Steel type and Flying type Pokémon,
