The Sootopolis Gym Badge was finally in hand. Young Master Mao had taught Master Juan a proper lesson.
This was what it meant to have no shame: even a master would get a taste of your dirty tricks...
Normally, a one-on-one fight was the bare minimum of respect when facing an expert.
Unfortunately, Gary had little sense of honor, and he didn't fight fair.
Wasn't your Milotic tanky? Didn't Milotic love Aqua Ring and Recover?
Sorry, but Young Master Mao's third Pokémon was Gardevoir.
Gardevoir opened with a Taunt, and then he switched in Pidgeot for a Toxic.
Milotic's Hydro Pump missed too. The entire process was immensely satisfying~
Yes, Gary's Pidgeot carried Toxic! Even Wallace felt his entire worldview shatter!
Finally, Young Master Mao switched in Sceptile, who swung Leaf Blade until it practically smoked. Perched on Milotic's head, Sceptile unleashed a relentless flurry of "Troublesome Winds," practically hacking the poor thing's head to pieces...
Master Juan clutched his chest in anguish, tossed the Badge to Wallace, and took Milotic away for cosmetic treatment...
Kimarō frantically took notes on the sidelines. Contest Battles weren't about fighting and killing anyway. He absolutely had to learn these methods of tormenting opponents...
After the Gym battle, Young Master Mao and Kimarō were left to their own devices. Wallace went to console his master.
Gary and Kimarō rested in their room all afternoon, and nobody even called them for dinner...
"Seriously... such a huge villa, and they don't even feed us." Carrying Eevee-chan and leading Kimarō out through the villa's gates, Young Master Mao was still grumbling.
Kimarō broke into a sweat. "Teacher, I think Gym Leader Juan already showed plenty of class by not poisoning us."
Young Master Mao's mouth twitched. "Ahem... what are you saying? Who takes revenge after a battle?
