"Ding! Vibrava won an official battle! Gained 150 Training Points! Gained a large amount of experience!" "Ding! Sandstorm and Bug Buzz proficiency increased!"
Seeing that Ludicolo could no longer battle, Yong breathed a sigh of relief. Grass-type moves were a serious threat, after all. Even with his talent bolstering him, repeated attacks would still cause considerable trouble.
Wallace recalled Ludicolo and shook his head with a smile.
"You're a capable Trainer, Yong! You made excellent use of a targeted strategy!"
The Water Prince showed no discouragement or anger over his defeat. Instead, he spoke with interest.
"Judging by your age, I can hardly believe you're a rookie who just started traveling!"
Yong smiled at Vibrava beside him, then looked at Wallace and said,
"You're too kind, Mr. Wallace! I just really enjoy watching your battles, so I gathered plenty of information beforehand..."
"That's precisely what a Trainer should do, isn't it?"
Wallace nodded and spoke approvingly.
"What a wonderful day. I've really enjoyed battling you, Yong! Now, for our final round-go, my partner! Show us an even more elegant Water Phantom!"
With a flick of his hand, he tossed a Pokémon Ball into the lake!
The previously calm surface suddenly churned. Through the water, an enormous Pokémon seemed to be emerging!
"ROAR!!!"
A furious roar rang out. Then a blue figure burst from the surface, staring at Yong and Vibrava with its enormous jaws open!
Confusion flickered in Yong's eyes.
It's actually Gyarados! Not Milotic?
It had a blue body, three upward-pointing teal horns on its head, and armor plates on its back shaped like the character 宏. Its expression was vicious, its face ferocious!
Gyarados!
It stood amid the sandstorm without a care. Grains of sand battered its scales with faint, crisp rattles!
